prove what happened that year. But Gu Xiao threatened him, saying that if he didn't come, he would expose his past actions of taking bribes and deceiving patients' families, ruining his reputation in...Gu Ke Yu propped up his hand on the tatami board, slowly sitting up. He looked down at Lu Ji Yan's eyes and said, "Have you encountered something recently"

"You wouldn't really be hiding anything from me, would you" Gu Ke Yi looked at Lu Ji Yan, his expression turning serious.

"Why are you asking me these things out of the blue" Gu Ke Yu's gaze was too intense, Lu Ji Yan felt uncomfortable being stared at and quickly averted his eyes.

"How could I possibly have something to hide from you Don't overthink things, just be happy." Lu Jiayan's voice was very low, making Gu Ke Yu feel a little uneasy.

“Are you sure I’m just overthinking things” Gu Ke Yu retracted all the expressions on his face and looked at Lu Ji Yan, countering him.

"If you weren't acting so strange lately, I wouldn't be overthinking things."

"Maybe it's because after getting along, I found myself liking you a little more every day." Lu Jiayan chuckled and finished speaking before reaching out to pinch Gu Ke's cheek. Then, he suddenly squeezed hard, and Gu Ke instantly fell into Lu Jiayan's arms.

Her ears pressed against Lu Jiayan's chest, she could only hear the rhythmic beating of his heart and couldn't see what expression was on Lu Jiayan's face.

It wasn't until nightfall that Lü Jìyán left Gu Kēyù and their apartment. After watching his car disappear from the complex, a growing sense of unease filled Gu Kēyù's heart.

She turned and walked to the sofa, looking at Tang Lijia as she seriously said: "Can you help me make an appointment with Lu Jiting I have some things about Lu Jiyan that I want to ask him. Recently, Xiaoqiao's behavior is really too abnormal, I always feel like he's hiding something from me."

Every time I ask him, he doesn't say anything. The more he does this, the more anxious I become. If I don't know soon, I might just explode.

After Gu Ke Yu finished speaking, he worriedly scratched his hair with both hands.

"Okay, I've got this. Don't worry about it, just get some rest." Tang Lijia reached out and patted Gu Keyu's shoulder, then stood up with some difficulty, slowly leaning against the wall as she walked back to her room.

Now only Gu Ke'yu was left in the living room. She looked out the window at the gloomy night and sighed. There wasn't a single star in the night sky tonight, and tomorrow would probably be an overcast day.

Tang Lijia told Lu Jiting about what Gu Ke'yu had said when she got back to her room. The next day, they even made an appointment at a cafe, but Tang Lijia was delayed by something and couldn't go with Gu Ke'yu.

In the end, Xiao Wen still drove Gu Ke Yu to that cafe. As the car drove past, the weather turned gloomy and overcast, as if dark clouds had gathered overhead. Although Gu Ke Yu was somewhat troubled, he didn't think too much about it.

As she got off the bus, it started to rain softly outside. The raindrops were light like smoke or a thin veil, gently covering her face.

A blast of cold air hit Gu Ke'yu's pores through his thin jacket. He felt goosebumps on his arms and immediately reached for them, then put his handbag on top of his head and strode into the cafe with large steps.

As she pushed open the cafe door, a lingering sound of wind chimes followed her. Gu Ke'yu quickly stood up, placing her bag beside her and wiping the raindrops from her body with her hand.

Then she raised her head to look around the cafe. Unexpectedly, Lu Jiting arrived earlier than her. He was sitting in a corner with two cups of coffee already placed before him.

Gu Ke Yu clutched her handbag and instinctively walked towards his side. As she sat down, she noticed that Lu Ji Yan's coffee cup in front of him was already half empty. It seemed like this person had been waiting for her for a while.

"I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting today."

"It's fine, I just arrived too." Lu Jiting sat across from Gu Keyu, a humble smile on his face. Then, the corner of his mouth curled up, and he looked at Gu Keyu with some amusement: "What did you ask me to come here for today"

Seeing that others were so straightforward, Gu Keyu simply didn't dwell on it any longer. She put her handbag aside and reached out to take the coffee cup.

Looking straight at Lu Jiting, she said seriously: "I always feel that Lu Jiayan has been acting strange lately, and I suspect he's hiding something from me, but he won't tell me. That's why I asked you out to see if you knew anything about this"

Gu Ke'yu felt like even her breath was caught in her throat. She raised her head and stared intently at Lu Jiting, afraid that she would miss any expression on his face if she blinked.

Lu Jiting seemed to have expected Gu Keyu's purpose in asking him out today. There was no surprise on his face, he just nodded and said seriously: "It seems he hasn't told you about this yet."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Ke'yu felt like she was about to suffocate. Lu Jiyan was definitely hiding something from her. She leaned forward a bit and quickly said to Lu Jiting: "If he really wanted to hide it, I would never tell you, so please tell me what happened."

Lu Jiting, who was sitting opposite Gu Keyu, suddenly hesitated, with a few traces of embarrassment on his face.

As Gu Ke's expression changed, Gu Keyu's heart slowly sank to the bottom. She always felt that Lu Jiting's next words would be difficult for her to bear.

Lu Jiting lightly sipped his coffee, then elegantly wiped his mouth with a tissue, pursed his lips, and quickly said: "The engagement ceremony between him and Lin Yiyi was arranged by my father. It has now been moved up to next Monday."

His words struck Gu Ke'yu like a bolt from the blue, leaving her speechless in astonishment.

Gu Ke'yu sat there, her hands trembling so badly she couldn't even hold her coffee cup. She couldn't describe the feeling in her heart, it was like taking a bite of Huanglian, the bitterness slowly spreading throughout her being. There was no need to say anything more now.

No wonder Lu Jiayan has been acting so strangely lately, this could all be part of his plan. Is his reluctance and dependence on himself a way to prepare for the final separation

Could he really have acquiesced to this fate, deciding to be worlds apart from himself

Gu Ke'yu even wasn't sure how she walked out of the coffee shop. She numbly held her handbag, staring intently at the ground, only hearing the distant sound of cameras clicking around her.g looked at Gu Kejun solemnly, which made Gu Kejun extremely proud. She glanced at Gu Kuyue with a look of self-satisfaction in her eyes.However, Gu Kejun didn't expect that the next second, Wang Qipe...
