Taking the Most Precious Thing in Her Life

After thinking about it, Mu Wan could understand why he was angry.

When she thought about how she had actually blurted out and asked him whether she was jealous, she really did not know what kind of brain she had to have to mistakenly think that Gu Tingyuan was jealous.

It was truly… appropriate to use the words "wishful thinking" to describe her actions.

After taking a deep breath, Mu Wan turned around and went upstairs.

With nothing to do, she walked to the swing chair on the balcony and casually flipped through a few unattended magazines.

What caught her attention was one of the financial magazines. When she flipped through the magazine, the first photo she saw was of Gu Tingyuan.

His facial features were distinct and he had a perfect silhouette. Furthermore, his well-tailored navy blue suit was clearly custom-made for him. However, what was more eye-catching was the black gold diamond watch on his wrist. It was elegant and luxurious, making him look like the impeccable darling of God.

Mu Wan stared at the photo in the magazine for quite a while. Then, she noticed a personal introduction below the photo: "The President of the Yu Ting Corporation, Gu Tingyuan, reached the pinnacle of his life in just five years and became a prominent figure in the business empire…"

Mu Wan's thoughts drifted away.

Three years was neither long nor short, but it took away the most important and precious thing in her life.

While she was deep in thought, her phone suddenly rang. It was still her favorite song, "Chinatown."

In these three years, she had changed phones twice, but this ringtone was the only thing she had not changed for three whole years after Gu Tingyuan left.

What she liked the most about the song were the lyrics that moved her.

When she looked at the caller ID, she saw that it was from her best friend, Jing Yihan.

"Hello, Yihan."

"You stupid girl, you finally picked up my call!?" Jing Yihan's voice came from the other side as soon as the call went through.

Mu Wan had known her for six years, from high school until they graduated from university.

She didn't have any friends. Her only close friend was Jing Yihan.

"Did you eat explosives? Why are you so angry?" Mu Wan could not help but tease her over the phone.

She knew that ever since Mu Chen went to jail, Yihan had been very worried about them.

Three years ago, when her father died tragically, Jing Yihan cried with her for an entire night. Over the past three years, Jing Yihan was really… worried for her!

"How dare you talk back to me? Tell me, where are you now?!" Although Jing Yihan was yelling on the phone, every word she said showed her concern for Mu Wan.

Mu Wan calmed down for a few seconds.

If she told Jing Yihan that she was married to Gu Tingyuan… If Jing Yihan was sitting right now, she would probably fall off the chair in shock.

"I…" Mu Wan hesitated.

Too many things had happened recently that caught her off guard. She really should find someone to confide in.

"Let's find a place to talk."

"Okay!" Jing Yihan agreed.

Ever since Mu Chen went to jail, Jing Yihan had not seen Mu Wan again. Even when Jing Yihan called her, she pretended not to hear anything. After a few minutes, Mu Wan would reply with a message that she was fine and reassured her.

Mu Chen was in prison and she was suddenly nowhere to be seen. How could Jing Yihan be at ease?

She arranged to meet Jing Yihan at a cafe near Yu University. Then, Mu Wan checked the time.

It was already two o'clock. She wondered if Gu Tingyuan had left yet.

She got up and looked down the yard. The black Bentley that had been parked at the door was gone.
