nIf only Gu Ren was here…

nAt that moment, a sound suddenly came from the door. Ye Zhi looked over subconsciously, to see the door open as Gu Ren entered.

nIt was as if he came right out of Ye Zhi’s mind.

nGu Ren seemed to be tired from the travelling, but his arrival instantly calmed down the anxiety building up in her heart.

nYe Zhi felt like all the stars in the sky had converged into a single spot of light and Gu Ren stood in the center of that light.

nJust as her eyes met his, her heart beat suddenly began to speed up. She felt like Gu Ren knew what she was thinking.

nYe Zhi immediately turned away and looked down at the remote control in front of her.

nGu Ren was not surprised that Ye Zhi had already returned home. He knew about the news on the Internet. It was also because of this that he finished his work early and rushed home.

nGu Ren quickly walked over to Ye Zhi. Looking at Ye Zhi’s lowered head, Gu Ren immediately called out her name.

n“Ye Zhi.”

nYe Zhi had already calmed down a lot. She just wanted to explain everything clearly to Gu Ren, but her voice still contained some uneasiness.

n“I had a marriage agreement with Song Lie. It was made by my elders, but I have never had anything to do with him.”

nGu Ren’s reaction was completely beyond her expectation. He was surprisingly calm as he said in a soft voice.

n“I knew about it a long time ago.”

nYe Zhi was stunned and wasn’t able to reply immediately. She didn’t know how to respond.

nGu Ren stared at Ye Zhi quietly. His clear eyes made Ye Zhi’s nervous heart slowly calm down.

nGu Ren’s voice once again filled the air. When it fell into Ye Zhi’s ears, it gave her a completely different feeling. It felt like drinking a rich and mellow cold wine in the summer sunshine.

nIt was obviously cold, but contained warmth within.

n“You are my wife now. Don’t worry, I will protect you.”

nThey were clearly only contracted husband and wife, but from Gu Ren’s words, Ye Zhi didn’t feel even a little bit like that. It felt like they were a real couple.

nAt that moment, the atmosphere in the living room was quiet, so quiet that Ye Zhi subconsciously slowed down her breathing. She felt her breathing had become a little tense, but she was reluctant to divert her eyes away from Gu Ren.

nYe Zhi let out a sigh of relief, as her heart began to flutter once again.

nYe Zhi didn’t know what she was thinking. She just felt a sudden mix of joy with a little bit of excitement that even she didn’t know the reason for. All sorts of thoughts went through her mind in an instant.

nGu Ren’s calm but firm eyes completely relieved any trace of tension in her heart.

nYe Zhi couldn’t control herself from raising the corners of her mouth. By this time, she had already calmly figured out the mastermind behind the incident.

nYe Zhi suppressed her emotions and said: “I think my former agency is the most likely suspect for the news. Only Sister Zhu knew about my relationship with Song Lie.”

nGu Ren’s eyes went cold as he said: “It was done by your formal agency…”

nHe continued in his mind: And they deserve to be punished for it.

nGu Ren had already decided what to do next, but he didn’t tell Ye Zhi about it. For now, his priority was to make sure that she was emotionally stable.
