The CEO is domineering, the devil Boss is addicted to pampering

Chapter 1144 Xingyu's Wish: A New Cousin

Now it was Han Zhiyuan's turn to widen her eyes. She swallowed subconsciously and said nothing, but gave Xiao Mo a meaningful look. There was shock, confusion, and a hint of fear of the unknown truth in her eyes.

The man hesitated for a long time, but finally nodded slightly with embarrassment, confirming her unwilling guess.

Han Zhiyuan never expected to learn about these old stories of her family from outsiders.

Her hands clenched unconsciously, and she felt mixed emotions, not knowing what to do.

Those seemingly unrelated people and events in the past were now like a tightly interwoven web that trapped her tightly inside, and she had just begun to see the threads of this web...

On the surface, Gu Yunqian was so furious this time and pursued Han Zhiyuan relentlessly, seemingly because he was angry that she presented his unforgettable love story with Su Xingya in such a dramatic way in the script, allowing everyone to peek into the most secret corners of his heart.

But in fact, he was taking the opportunity to severely criticize Han Zhiyuan's parents. Behind it were grievances and entanglements from many years ago. Those unknown pasts were like a fog, hanging over everyone's heads.

However, this was the first time Han Zhiyuan had heard the name Han Yinuo since she was a child.

When she was full of desire and eager to know more about her parents' generation and find out the truth, Xiao Mo shook his head helplessly, looking embarrassed, and said that he could no longer provide stories about the previous generation.

This means that there is still a layer of window paper stubbornly lying in front of Han Zhiyuan, blocking her from seeing the truth.

At this moment, she could only rely on the few known clues to roughly sort out the complicated relationship between herself, Su Xingya and Gu Yunqian.

She closed her eyes tightly, concentrated her mind, and slowly drew a relationship diagram in her mind: Gu Yunqian, the senior brother whom she had always admired, loved and worshipped, suddenly changed his identity and became her brother-in-law!

This realization hit her like a bolt from the blue.

Han Zhiyuan felt that her mind was being torn apart by madness, and her heart was in extreme confusion. It is said that ignorance is not a crime, but now, she has become a guilty person without knowing why, and is suffering this unprovoked disaster.

Why? She roared in her heart.

The more she thought about it, the more grievances Han Zhiyuan felt surged in her heart like a tide. The more aggrieved she felt, the more difficult it was for her to control her emotions. She couldn't help but start making hysterical sounds, and the cries and shouts intertwined to vent her pain.

Seeing this, Xiao Mo became extremely anxious and immediately held her tightly in his arms.

He put his arms together, as if to build a solid defense for her to resist all the harm in the world, and whispered to comfort her: "Maybe they are just trying to protect you!"

More importantly, Han Yinuo's past was not glorious, otherwise Su Xingya would not...

But he never expected that this sentence would add fuel to the fire, further stimulating the woman who was on the verge of collapse.

Han Zhiyuan's eyes widened, filled with anger and confusion, and she asked, "You keep saying that you're doing this to protect me, but what about now? You don't want to protect me anymore, so you're starting to hurt me?"

Her voice trembled with endless sadness, and her tears flowed freely, wetting Xiao Mo's clothes.

Xiao Mo felt distressed, but she didn't know how to comfort her deeply wounded heart. She could only let her vent in her arms, hoping that the turbulent emotions would subside soon. However, the road ahead was long, so where should she go...

During that dark time, Xiao Mo always took care of Han Zhiyuan, staying with her day and night and never leaving her side.

As the days passed, all interactions between the two gradually became natural, as if everything was supposed to be this way.

At first, Xiao Mo just carefully prepared three meals a day and found different ways to supplement Han Zhiyuan's nutrition, hoping that she could recover as soon as possible.

Whenever he saw Han Zhiyuan staring at the food and having no appetite, his heart felt like it was being pulled and "hurt".

Gradually, he discovered that Han Zhiyuan was always caught in deep internal friction, often tossing and turning at night and unable to fall asleep.

So, Xiao Mo began to stay by her side all night long, finding various excuses to accompany her, or sharing an interesting book, or telling her a bizarre experience, just to distract her attention and let her temporarily forget those painful memories.

And Han Zhiyuan's frozen heart slowly began to melt under such meticulous care.

She couldn't remember how many times when she was awakened by a nightmare and her eyes widened in horror, Xiao Mo was the first to hold her hand, giving her warmth and strength.

At that moment, Han Zhiyuan seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw. She subconsciously tightened her fingers and interlocked her fingers with Xiao Mo's.

There were no excessive words, but after going through so much, at that moment, Han Zhiyuan decided to put her palm together with the man who silently protected her and absorb each other's warmth.

From then on, Xiao Mo naturally fell asleep in Han Zhiyuan's arms. Although they omitted the passionate and intimate steps between lovers, the tacit understanding and dependence between them made others feel that they were no different from a couple.

Xiao Mo knew that Han Zhiyuan's heart was difficult to heal, so he took her out for a walk to see the towering mountains, listen to the surging waves, and feel the breeze in the forest, hoping that the magnificence of nature could dilute the haze in her heart and let her forget her troubles and sorrows.

However, how can the harm caused by one's loved ones be eliminated in just a few days?

Han Zhiyuan sat on the rocks by the sea, eyes closed, brows furrowed. The sea breeze blew past, lifting her hair, but it couldn't blow away the sadness in her heart.

Her thoughts involuntarily drifted back to the past, thinking of the various ways in which Gu Yunqian had allowed herself to become spoiled, and also recalling the days when he deliberately allowed marketing accounts to spread rumors about the two of them.

She suddenly realized that if it weren't for the uproar caused by the script, she might have been nailed to the pillar of shame as a scumbag, despised and infamous.

Thinking of this, Han Zhiyuan felt a sharp pain in her chest, as if an invisible hand was tightly grasping her heart.

Su Xingya's reputation needs to be maintained, but isn't my own reputation also a reputation?

We are both women, and we are both...why should I suffer such injustice?

As she was thinking, Han Zhiyuan's nails involuntarily dug into her palms, and the sharp pain made her slightly sober.

She must not give up and swallow this anger. She must seek justice for herself and make those who hurt her pay the price...

"What are you thinking about?"

I don't know when Xiao Mo had come to Han Zhiyuan.

The woman tilted her head, lifted her hair from front to back, and curled her lips away from the person next to her, but the curve at the corner of her lips did not reach her eyes.

Xiao Mo pretended not to notice this detail and simply stretched out his arms to pull the person into his arms!

He hugged her from front to back, his arms wrapped around her from back to front, and his lips kissed her ear vaguely...

Compared to the flowers and moonlight here, the atmosphere in the Gu family's old house is much more solemn.

Even Gu Mingcheng couldn't stand Gu Yunqian's behavior!
