After Sun Ma left, Ye Wan took a shower. Everything in the bedroom had changed during her absence, yet it was exactly the same as when she had left. After her bath, Ye Wan got back into bed and took out the agreement Gu Yun Ting had signed with her, rereading it carefully.
Besides the two main clauses, there were many others, such as her not being allowed to take on any more part-time jobs, her work needing his approval, and not getting involved in any scandals with men while at school.
Ye Wan didn't want to work part-time anyway; living like a spinning top was too exhausting. It was only because her brother had been ill and they were desperate for money that she had to do it. Now that her brother was well and she had money, she wouldn't be foolish enough to torment herself any longer.
At the very least, she would have control over her future job choices.
Ye Wan opened a drawer, intending to find a charger. She saw a marriage certificate placed quietly inside. She reached for it and opened it; it was the same one she had torn up before.
She picked up her phone and hesitated before calling Gu Yun Ting.
The call was answered quickly, but it was a woman's voice. "Hello, Ting is showering and cannot take calls. If you have something to say, I can pass on the message."
Ye Wan immediately hung up. She recognized the voice as Gu Yun Ting's new flame, that woman with the powerful aura.
So, Gu Yun Ting had gone on a business trip with her.
Ye Wan bit her lip, put away her phone and the marriage certificate, turned off the light, and got under the covers, closing her eyes to sleep.
The villa was heated, and the room was very warm, yet Ye Wan couldn't sleep. The frostbite on her hand itched terribly, and she tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
Thinking of Gu Yun Ting sleeping with another woman made her feel a little unhappy.
...
After Hua Rong finished Ye Wan's call, she lightly tapped her phone, deleting the call record and putting the phone back in its place. Hearing the sound of water stopping in the bathroom, she turned and left first.
Gu Yun Ting, after his shower, habitually checked his phone. There were several WeChat messages from Jin Lan and Jiang Jing Xiu, but not a single one from her. He hadn't received any calls either.
It made sense. She hated him so much that if it weren't for saving her brother, she wouldn't even want to see him. How could she possibly call him voluntarily?
Gu Yun Ting irritably tossed his phone aside and went back to work. A lot of work had piled up because he hadn't been there, and he would have to stay for at least a week before returning.
...
New Year's Day was fast approaching, and the school's New Year's Eve party was to be held that evening. Ye Wan's promised performance had not yet been submitted. Before, she had almost jumped off a building; how could she have had the time to think about such things?
Now that her brother was cured and she had signed an agreement with Gu Yun Ting not to take on any more part-time jobs, dedicating herself to having his children, she also wanted to complete her studies properly.
After all, university life was wonderful, and it would be a shame to waste it all.
Ye Wan finally decided to sing an English song. As an English major, this performance was very suitable. She browsed through songs and chose one to send to the cultural representative.
The cultural representative was so excited when Ye Wan actually sent the song title that she screamed. Last year, their department had been suppressed by the design department, mainly because of their department's most beautiful girl. Now that Ye Wan was going to compete, she wondered what tricks that little beauty from the design department could pull off!
Ye Wan got up and went to the bathroom first. When she came out, there was a knock on the door. Sun Ma walked in, smiling, "Xiao Wan, you're awake. Did you sleep well last night?"
