Then Pei Munan's face would become particularly ugly, and then he would slam the door and leave.

  Su Wan curled up on the big bed, covered in wounds, and cried unscrupulously.

  -

  Su Wanwan met with Gong Lingyu and tactfully declined his proposed collaboration.

  Gong Lingyu seemed to have no great surprise at this result, only his emotions were still somewhat low. He tried to hide these emotions and pretended to be relaxed, "Refuse to cooperate with me? What will your company do then? You won't really go bankrupt, will you?"

  Su Wanwan lowered her eyelids and subconsciously stirred the coffee in front of her, responding in a low voice, "He helped me."

  Who is he? Gong Lingyu naturally couldn't help but know, he furrowed his brow, and his eyes were slightly dim.

  He didn't deny it, he proposed collaborating with Su Wanwan, one of which was indeed for business considerations, but more importantly... he couldn't give up.

  If Su Wanwan is now living happily, he would naturally not have any other thoughts and would bless her. However, that night, Su Wanwan's unhidden distress reignited his hopes uncontrollably.

  Su Wanwan and Pei Muxuan suddenly broke out with such news, everyone thought they had been in a secret relationship for a long time, but as far as he knew, they had just met recently, let alone having any feelings.

  So their marriage was basically concluded for the sake of saving face for both families.

  So, Pei Munan may not have been willing to marry Su Wanwan, and Su Wanwan may not have been his willing wife either, but for some other reason.

  It may be for Su Shi, for the Su family, just like the reason she chose him in the first place.

  If so, he wants to strive for it.

  As long as Su Wanwan and Pei Muxuan are not in love with each other, he will not be willing to give up like this!

  Jing Lingyu fell silent for a moment, then looked up at Su Wanwan with his eyes raised, his thin lips opening slowly, saying word by word, "Wanwan, can you tell me, why did you choose to marry my brother back then?"

  Su Wan's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, as if she hadn't expected him to ask that question, but it was fleeting. She curved her lips and forced out a smile, then seemed to ignore Ling Yu's words altogether, saying softly: "Ling Yu, I have something else to attend to later, so I'll take my leave first."

  Every time it's mentioned about her and Pei Mochen, Su Wanwan always deliberately avoids it. Gong Lingyu's inner hope expands unintentionally. He stretches out his hand, grasps Su Wanwan's wrist, and continues to ask, "Wanwan, I just don't want to see you unhappy. If you marry my brother just because of the Su family, I can help you too. At least...I love you, I'll treat you well, and give you happiness..."

  Su Wanwan didn't wait for Gong Lingyu to finish speaking, her hand had already struggled free, her face slightly serious, and her tone carried a hint of reprimand and warning, "Lingyu, I'm already married, so I hope you won't say such things again in the future!"

  "But you're not happy, are you? I know my brother, all these years, he's never shown any interest in any woman. He married you just for the sake of the Pei family's reputation, he didn't marry you willingly, so he won't cherish you. Just for the Su family, do you want to compromise yourself for a lifetime? Didn't you say before that you wouldn't do this?"
