Gu Ning successfully rescued Qin Yang, and then they publicly got back together. After that, she continued her normal life and work as if my death had no impact on her whatsoever. The only change was that she transferred a servant from the the Gu Family to assist her.
One evening, she returned home for dinner. While eating, she suddenly dropped her chopsticks and frowned in disgust, saying, "The food is so terrible, do you even want to keep this job?" The servant replied nervously, "I'm sorry, Miss, perhaps you haven't eaten my cooking in a long time and are not used to it."
Gu Ning was slightly taken aback. Ever since she moved out, I had been the one taking care of her. I was the one who cooked for her. However, Gu Ning brushed it off, insisting it was the servant's cooking skills that were lacking.
Not long after, she realized that no matter what she ate, it didn't taste right. The servant was changed again and again, but nothing worked. She developed anorexia and suffered from a persistent high fever.
One day, Qin Yang came to see her and forgot his phone when he left. When the phone rang in the room, Gu Ning groggily glanced at it and suddenly became alert. The contact name on the screen read "Wife." She froze.
"Ning Ning, have you seen my phone?" Qin Yang returned to look for it.
Gu Ning snapped back to reality and picked up his phone, looking at Qin Yang with a questioning gaze. "When did you get a wife?"
Qin Yang's expression changed instantly; he looked guilty. "Ning Ning, let me explain."
Gu Ning forcefully threw the phone at him. She wasn't foolish; she simply loved Qin Yang deeply and treated him well unconditionally. She sent someone to investigate and discovered that Qin Yang had already registered a marriage abroad and had a two-year-old son. The reason he returned was that he had incurred a massive gambling debt overseas.
It was never for her.
Qin Yang had no idea that Gu Ning had thoroughly figured him out, yet he still went to borrow money from her. Gu Ning kicked him out, shouting, "Get lost! Don't ever show up in front of me again, or I won't let you off the hook."
Not only that, she rummaged through all of Qin Yang's belongings, wanting to get rid of them, but unexpectedly came across a yellowed photo album. It stood out among the pile of things.
Gu Ning picked it up and opened it. It was an album featuring her as the main subject. The photos weren't particularly flattering; there were pictures of her eating, sleeping, attending meetings—various moments captured from every angle. It seemed to have started documenting her life eight years ago.
The last photo was taken on my birthday last year, and tucked inside was a note with just a short line: "My birthday wish is to always be with Gu Ning."
A tear suddenly fell onto the note as Gu Ning held the album and cried loudly. She began sending people to search for me in the sea, but it had been a week since I fell overboard; not to mention finding a person, even a body would be hard to locate...
In fact, I hadn't died. That day, a yacht happened to pass by, and I was rescued. A kind-hearted wealthy man on the yacht took me to the hospital. Upon learning that my blood type was RH Negative Blood, he was shocked and had the doctors conduct a paternity test.
The results showed that I was his son; I had been lost for many years. My parents were not drunks or dancers; they were respectable people. I wasn't an unwanted child either. Years ago, due to a nanny's negligence, I had been lost while still in my crib.
For all these years, my father never gave up searching for me. Perhaps it was fate that brought us together again. I was taken back home and reunited with my family. They held me tightly and cried uncontrollably; for the first time, I felt the meaning of being alive.
In truth, it wasn't wrong to say that the old me had died; the current me was reborn. Three years later, at a bidding conference, I successfully secured a major project.
Gu Ning also participated in this bidding. She looked at me, dressed in a suit, and her body trembled. After realizing it, she immediately ran towards me.
She wanted to hug me but I sidestepped to avoid her.
Gu Ning awkwardly retracted her hand and asked in surprise, "Mu Yan, you’re not dead?"
My gaze was distant and indifferent. "My not being dead must disappoint President Gu."
Gu Ning's face turned pale, and she quickly shook her head, saying, "No, I didn't mean..."
Her voice suddenly stopped. She wanted to explain but suddenly realized she had no way to do so. After all, three years ago, she had said with her own mouth that I was just a dog she kept, and my death would be of no consequence.
She bit her lip and said, "I'm sorry."
I looked at her face and remembered three years ago by the seaside when I was on the verge of death; she never looked at me even once.
How cruel it was.
It wasn't that it didn't hurt; it was just that time had passed, and the wounds had long since healed. People must look forward.
Gu Ning looked at me and asked, "You’re not dead, why didn’t you come back to find me?"
