My relationship with Gu Yuan quickly spread throughout the business community.
"Mr. Lin, there's a rumor going around that Ms. Gu is only interested in you because she sees the potential in our company," Xiao Wang said cautiously while organizing the documents.
I smiled and continued to look at my computer screen. "Let them say what they want."
Having experienced a failed marriage, I had learned not to care about outside opinions.
However, my parents' attitudes worried me a bit.
"Wei Wei, your mother knows that Gu Yuan has excellent conditions," my mother said, holding my hand with concern in her eyes. "But you just went through a failed marriage, and I'm afraid you might get hurt again."
"Mom, Gu Yuan is different from Li Qiang."
"How is he different?" my father interjected from the side. "They're both businessmen, both good at sweet-talking."
Just as I was about to explain, the doorbell rang.
Gu Yuan arrived with fruits and supplements.
Seeing my parents there, he remained calm and greeted them politely. "Hello, Uncle and Aunt."
My father snorted coldly and stood up to leave.
"Uncle, can we have a word?" Gu Yuan suddenly spoke up.
My father paused for a moment but eventually nodded.
The two of them went to the study, leaving my mother and me anxiously waiting in the living room.
Half an hour later, my father walked out with a beaming face. "This kid Xiao Gu is not bad!"
My mother curiously asked, "What did you two talk about?"
My father smiled mysteriously, "It's a topic for men."
Later, I learned that Gu Yuan had shown my father his investment proposal. He wasn't trying to boast; he wanted to reassure my father that he genuinely wanted to build a future with me.
However, the peaceful days didn't last long.
"Lin Wei, let's meet," a sudden text from Li Qiang appeared on my phone.
I frowned, about to delete it when another message came through: "If not, I'll tell Gu Yuan everything about your past."
"You think that can threaten me?" I replied with a cold laugh.
"Aren't you afraid Gu Yuan will find out that you gave up your chance to study abroad just to marry me?"
My hand paused.
This was something I had never told Gu Yuan.
"Fine, let's meet," I replied.
In the café, Li Qiang still wore an air of superiority. "Looks like you're doing well now."
"Thanks to you," I said flatly. "Just get to the point."
"I want to acquire your company," he stated directly. "Otherwise, I'll reveal your past to Gu Yuan."
"Do you really think Gu Yuan would care about that?"
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind me. Gu Yuan had appeared without me noticing.
"Li Qiang, you underestimate Lin Wei," Gu Yuan said as he stepped beside me. "Her past will only make me love her more. It is those experiences that shaped who she is today."
Li Qiang's face turned pale as he stood up and left.
"Why are you here?" I asked, a bit surprised.
"My intuition told me you needed me." Gu Yuan held my hand.
I leaned against his shoulder, feeling warmth fill my heart.
This year, the company had developed very well.
Our app's monthly active users surpassed twenty million, becoming an industry benchmark.
More importantly, I had found true happiness.
It was early summer again, and I stood in the familiar hotel dressing room.
This time, I was no longer the confused bride. The reflection in the mirror showed a determined gaze and a smile filled with happiness.
"Darling, you look beautiful," my mother said as she adjusted my wedding dress, tears glistening in her eyes.
It was a simple yet elegant gown that Gu Yuan had helped me choose. He said that no matter what kind of dress I wore, I would always be the most beautiful bride.
"Mom, don’t cry." I turned to embrace her. "This time, I've found the right person."
My mother wiped her tears away. "I know. Gu Yuan truly cares for you."
My father walked in as well, his eyes unusually red. "Wei Wei, this time Dad blesses you."
I felt a lump in my throat as memories of the decision from a year ago flooded back.
If it weren't for my rebirth, if it weren't for that moment of courage, I would never have met Gu Yuan and wouldn't have the happiness I have today.
The wedding march began to play as my father took my arm and we walked step by step toward the chapel.
Gu Yuan stood there, looking at me with gentle eyes.
I suddenly recalled that rainy night ten years ago, when I sat alone by the riverbank.
Who would have thought that fate would give me a second chance?
This time, I seized happiness.
"What are you thinking about?" Gu Yuan asked softly.
"I'm thinking about our future," I replied with a smile.
A year later.
I stood on the terrace of the company, watching the sun set in the west.
The little life in my arms stirred gently, and I caressed my slightly rounded belly, filled with happiness.
Gu Yuan embraced me from behind. "You must be tired. Let's go home and rest."
"Just a little longer; I want to finish this proposal."
This was a project specifically designed to help women start their own businesses. I wanted to use my experiences to assist more women who felt as lost as I once did.
"You always work so hard," Gu Yuan said with a helpless smile. "Alright, I'll go heat up a cup of milk for you."
Watching his retreating figure warmed my heart.
This was the life I wanted.
Someone who understood me and loved me, a career I was passionate about, and a baby on the way.
I was no longer that girl who gave up her dreams for marriage.
I had learned to love myself and had found someone who truly loved me.
Life has given me a chance to start over, and I have seized it.
The decision I made ten years ago cost me a marriage that should never have been, but it also brought me a life worth cherishing.
Perhaps this is the best arrangement of fate.
The afterglow of the setting sun bathes the city in a golden light, casting a warm glow over everything.
I know this is the beginning of a new life.
And our story will continue.
Because of love, we become braver; because of dreams, we grow stronger.
This time, we walk hand in hand towards our forever.
"Let's go home," I said as I put away the documents and turned to Gu Yuan.
He reached out his hand to me, his smile warm and inviting.
Our fingers intertwined, we walked towards our future together.
