The Empress's Transmigration into a Magnate's Wife

Chapter 589

Huo Mei Shu's expression remained calm, her mind flashing through countless scenes from romance dramas on how to respond.

"I don't eat snacks anymore."

In the end, she looked up at him, her voice faint.

Looking at Gu Chengyan, the pain she had endured during this period seemed a little ridiculous.

There had never been a beginning between them.

It was just her own misunderstanding, what was there to resent?

Gu Chengyan's heart tightened, his handsome face slightly tense, his slender and powerful palm instinctively grabbing her wrist and asking, "Then what would you like to eat?"

Huo Mei Shu looked at his hand gripping her wrist, his hand still as good-looking as before, but its temperature was still as cold.

She had grown a lot during this period.

She liked Magnolia Fragrance, she liked her sister-in-law, she liked all her colleagues here.

For so many years, she had been chasing after his footsteps.

Even if she was doing things she didn't like, as long as she thought she could get a little closer to him, she was satisfied.

That sweetness and joy was something she created for herself, not something he brought.

"Let go of me, go to the cafe across the street, I don't want to disturb my colleagues' work."

Her expression was calmly terrifying, her words devoid of warmth.

Gu Chengyan frowned, "Okay."

Afterwards, they went to the cafe across from Magnolia Fragrance, one after the other, and sat in a booth.

"An Americano, please."

After sitting down, Huo Mei Shu ordered a cup of coffee.

If it had been in the past, she would have catered to Gu Chengyan's preferences, as she was familiar with all his likes.

As long as it made him happy, she was willing to do anything.

But during this period of intense work, busy with the company's affairs, busy fighting with those keyboard warriors online, her attention was dispersed.

She gradually became aware that her kind of liking was pathological, and unconsciously made a change.

Gu Chengyan's eyes narrowed slightly, what had the little girl gone through during this time? How had she changed so much?

"Mr. Gu, what did you want to see me about?"

Huo Mei Shu didn't notice these subtle expressions on his face, after taking a sip of her coffee, she directly asked him.

Her mind was now focused on her work, she had found what she wanted to do.

She had followed his footsteps for so many years, she was really exhausted.

She didn't want to chase anymore.

This was a solo journey for her, and now she wanted to stop.

Gu Chengyan looked at her, a sense of unease spreading in his heart, as if something was about to slip away from the bottom of his heart.

"I've investigated the matter with Ming Ci."

"What happened was my fault, I made a mistake."

"I'm sorry, can you forgive me?"

"The company can't be without you, I can give you time to settle things on the Magnolia Fragrance side."

Huo Mei Shu listened to his words, her eyes turning red despite her efforts not to cry.

She had liked him so cautiously for so many years, and because she was always afraid of losing him, she didn't dare to confess or face her feelings.

But she had forgotten that she had never had him in the first place!

She turned her head to look out the window, forcing the tears back in!

She would never be so humble again, it was too stifling!

A few seconds later, she turned her head back to look at Gu Chengyan, still the male god she had once adored.

But unfortunately, her heart no longer wanted to chase that dream that didn't belong to her.

"Mr. Gu, I have already resigned from your company, I am now an employee of Magnolia Fragrance."

"And I don't like music."

She looked at him, her gaze clear and defiant.

This was probably the most vicious thing she had ever said to him, right?

"I've already forgotten about Miss Gu's situation."

"If there's nothing else, I hope you won't disturb my work in the future."

Because I don't want you to be in my world anymore.
