Gao Yu had been confined in the villa with Wen Xuan for two months, and every day, he came to keep her company.
Wen Xuan's face was always marked by pain and confusion as he poured out his heart to Gao Yu. He couldn't understand why she had suddenly become so cold and resolute. He didn't believe that a single act of betrayal could erase all the moments they had shared.
Yet, no matter how hard he tried, he could not elicit a response from Gao Yu. She simply sat there quietly, like a soulless puppet, ignoring his words.
"Gao Yu, please say something! What’s wrong with you?"
Wen Xuan's voice trembled as he gripped Gao Yu's hand tightly, but he felt no warmth in her touch. Her gaze was vacant, staring out the window as if lost in memories. Suddenly, she seemed to recall something.
She turned to Wen Xuan and said, "You were supposed to be a genius plagued by depression, destined for a tragic end."
"I came to save you, but now you are fated to never receive my love."
Gao Yu looked at Wen Xuan coldly, her tone laced with mockery and finality. "You destroyed everything with your own hands."
Her words cut like sharp knives, piercing deep into Wen Xuan's heart.
"Did you think I would ever love you like before? That’s impossible! From now on, I will make you experience all the pain I once endured!"
Wen Xuan's face turned pale as disbelief washed over him. He staggered back a few steps and collapsed onto the sofa.
He felt an unprecedented sense of despair. He knew that Gao Yu truly hated him, with a hatred that ran deep. And yet, he felt utterly powerless.
A few days later, Wen Xuan found Lu Jingxing looking haggard. His eyes were darkened, his beard unkempt; he looked as if he had aged ten years.
"Lu Jingxing, please help me," he croaked, his voice hoarse and filled with desperation.
Lu Jingxing looked at Wen Xuan in this state and felt a mix of emotions, as if he were seeing a reflection of himself. He sighed and asked, "What happened between you and Gao Yu recently?"
Wen Xuan let out a bitter laugh and began recounting the various acts of revenge Gao Yu had carried out over the past two months. She pretended to be ill, causing him to feel anxious. She invited a group of male models to her home, igniting his jealousy. She even smashed the photos of him and Yun Xiaoxiao, declaring her dominance.
What troubled him the most was that Gao Yu had actually proposed conditions for entering the entertainment industry. "She said she wants to enter the entertainment circle and become a more dazzling presence than I am," Wen Xuan's eyes flashed with pain. "She said she wants everyone to know that I, Wen Xuan, am just her plaything."
To meet Gao Yu's demands, Wen Xuan used all his resources to pave the way for her in the entertainment industry. He personally selected scripts for her and arranged the best team. He even stooped to accompany investors for drinks, pushing himself to the point of gastric bleeding.
After Gao Yu's new album was released, she was bombarded with negative news and ended up trending for all the wrong reasons. Worried that she might not withstand the pressure, Wen Xuan rushed to her side. "Gao Yu, don't be afraid; I'm here for you." He held her tightly and whispered comforting words.
However, Gao Yu coldly pushed him away, just as he had once done to himself. "Get away from me; I don't need your false sympathy." Her gaze was icy, devoid of any emotion.
At the same time, Gao Yu deliberately hired private investigators to take photos of Wen Xuan with other girls and had them posted on social media. Although those photos were fake, they were enough to tarnish Wen Xuan's already fragile reputation. Gao Yu's indifference left him feeling heartbroken.
Wen Xuan's efforts were met with nothing more than a simple thank you from Gao Yu, along with a file containing a new song. As he opened the file, Gao Yu's cold voice echoed, singing their past story. The lyrics were filled with sarcasm and resentment, twisting Wen Xuan's heart like a knife.
He suddenly recalled how, in the past, Gao Yu had suffered from a stomach bleed because of him and had nearly frozen to death in the snow. At that time, he felt immense pain for her and vowed to protect her well. Yet now, he had become the one who hurt her the most.
Gao Yu's revenge did not cease. She used every means at her disposal to make Wen Xuan experience the pain she once endured. Finally, Wen Xuan broke down. He could no longer bear such torment and sought out Lu Jingxing once more.
"Lu Jingxing, I beg you, help me," Wen Xuan pleaded as he knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face. "I can't lose her; I truly can't lose her."
Lu Jingxing looked at the man who had once stood tall but was now so humble for a woman. He didn't know what to say. With a sigh, he replied, "I don't know how to help you; Lin Xia still refuses to forgive me."
Wen Xuan walked away in despair.
