Xu Weilai wiped the corners of her eyes, but even more tears flowed out. She continued to wipe, but the more she wiped, the more she had to wipe. In the end, she gave up on herself and let the tears flow.
She lifted her feet and walked into the study. She walked to the wine cabinet and opened it. She took out Gu Yu’s collection of extremely expensive wine. She took all of them down, found the wine opener, and opened each bottle.
In order to recover, she hadn’t drunk wine for a long time, but she was feeling a little uncomfortable now. She wanted to drink a little so that she could sleep tonight.
The wine was good, and the aftertaste was sweet. Xu Weilai drank one mouthful after another. She hugged the wine bottle and leaned against the sofa.
To be honest, she wasn’t that sad this time. Gu Yu’s lack of contact for more than a month had given her time to recover. Moreover, she could accept Gu Yu’s confession.
You can’t wake up someone who was only pretending to be asleep, and you can’t force someone who doesn’t love you to love you.
She thought that if she didn’t want a divorce, Gu Yu would still respect her choice, but… what would be the point?
Three years ago, when he wanted to break off the engagement, she experienced his heartlessness and anger, but at least he had mood swings then. Today, Gu Yu didn’t have any mood swings.
To Gu Yu, she no longer aroused happiness or sorrow, nor love or resentment.
The two of them had come this far, and if they continued to stay entangled, they would only be the most familiar strangers.
Thinking of it, they had actually returned to the beginning. If she hadn’t fallen in love with Gu Yu at that time, and Gu Yu hadn’t noticed her, they might have gotten married because of the engagement, then, they would have lived… a married life devoid of romance like now.
It’s just that it wasn’t what she wanted.
Xu Weilai drank intermittently and finished a big bottle. Finally, she felt a little dizzy. She put down the wine and walked back to the bedroom with feeble footsteps. She flung herself onto the big bed.

When she woke up the next day, it was already afternoon. Her head ached with a hangover. She rubbed her temples and eased up a little. Only then did she get up and walk into the bathroom to wash up.
In the mirror, her face was exceptionally pale and ugly.
Fortunately, she was alone in the apartment at the moment. Mrs. Lin wouldn’t come back, and Gu Yu wouldn’t come back either. She didn’t have to worry about others seeing her in such a pathetic state.
After leaving the room, she first went to the kitchen to cook porridge for herself. Since last night, she hadn’t eaten anything. She also drank alcohol on an empty stomach. Her stomach felt very uncomfortable, even more uncomfortable than her heart.
So… treating herself badly was the stupidest thing to do.
After drinking the hot porridge, her stomach finally relaxed a little. She went to the study to clean up the mess she had made last night. She didn’t return the unfinished alcohol to its original place. Instead, she took it all out and emptied it before throwing the empty bottle into the trash can.
She didn’t feel any heartache at all.
After she finished, she changed her clothes and drove to Simon’s gym. After exercising for more than an hour, she was drenched in sweat. The last bit of discomfort in her heart seemed to have disappeared along with the sweat.
She took a quick shower and sat on a chair in the changing room for a while. Then, she took out her phone from her bag and dialed assistant Lin’s number.
Assistant Lin was probably busy. After a while, he picked up the call, but his tone sounded a little surprised. “Young Mistress?”
After all, Gu Yu had gone back to the apartment yesterday and the two of them had already met. If Xu Weilai had to look for Gu Yu, she wouldn’t need to go through him anymore…
