Chapter 6: Her Acting Could Win an Oscar

Shen Boyan looked at the pitiful figure in front of him, his deep phoenix eyes narrowing slightly.

He was about to speak when he felt his coat tighten. He looked down and saw the woman’s delicate white hand gently grasping the corner of his shirt.

When he raised his eyes again, he saw that Gu Nanyan’s eyes were filled with tears, which she was holding back as she spoke, “I told you… I will change. I want to be a good mother, and I will learn to be a good wife.”

From a distance, Qin Yuwei watched this scene, completely stunned.

What was Gu Nanyan doing?

Her acting could easily win an Oscar!

“We’ll talk about it later.”

Shen Boyan coldly removed Gu Nanyan’s hand from his sleeve and, with long strides, walked away.

Gu Nanyan watched his back, then gently wiped her tears with one hand.

Yet her lips curled into a faint, gentle smile.

As Shen Boyan got into his car and drove away, she turned and looked at Qin Yuwei, her smile even brighter.

“Gu Nanyan, your acting is really impressive.” Qin Yuwei no longer pretended and sarcastically clapped her hands at Gu Nanyan before walking up to her. With a cold laugh, she mocked, “But unfortunately, you hated Shen Boyan for four years. Do you think you can still win his heart?”

“Right, I hated him for four years. Whether I can win his heart is still unknown. But I do know that some people have been flattering him for four years and still haven’t gotten his heart.”

With one sentence, Gu Nanyan made Qin Yuwei fall silent.

Under the sunlight, Qin Yuwei’s face turned pale with anger, her teeth gritted as she questioned Gu Nanyan, “What do you want to do? Don’t you like He Yunrui? You’ve liked him for so many years. How could you suddenly not like him?”

“Why is it impossible? Didn’t I make it clear enough? Or is it that you can’t see the difference between He Yunrui and Shen Boyan?” Gu Nanyan felt there was no point in explaining further. She casually said to Qin Yuwei, “As for me, I’ve already decided on Shen Boyan. In my eyes, He Yunrui is like trash!”

Like trash…

Qin Yuwei never expected Gu Nanyan to say something like that.

She stared at Gu Nanyan for a long time, and then snapped, “Gu Nanyan, it’s too late. Everything is too late. Four years… Shen Boyan has long since grown disgusted with you.”

“Did he say that he’s disgusted with me?” Gu Nanyan remained calm. “That’s what you said, not him.”

“Not listening, not listening, you’re just mumbling nonsense.”

Gu Nanyan waved her hand dismissively and casually walked past Qin Yuwei, leaving her standing there, seething with anger.

“Gu Nanyan, Shen Boyan will not have dinner with you.”

She coldly watched Gu Nanyan’s retreating figure, her tone firm.

After returning to her room, Gu Nanyan spent the rest of the time searching for medical data from this era.

She quickly realized that the medical field in this time was far behind her own. Many diseases that could be cured in her time were untreatable here.

Her older brother’s hospital had been researching a particular case recently. He had visited many countries, consulted numerous experts, and conducted deep discussions, but in the end, they were still unable to find a solution.

Though the patient’s identity was not made public, considering how much attention her brother was giving this case, the patient’s identity must be quite special.

Gu Nanyan spent just ten minutes and wrote an email based on this case.

Then, she anonymously sent it to her brother’s email.

Once it was sent, she paid no further attention and continued browsing various medical research topics online.

Around noon, a servant knocked on her door.

When Gu Nanyan opened the door, she realized her maid had been replaced.

“Madam, it’s time for lunch. Would you like to go to the dining hall, or should I bring it to you?” The new maid seemed nervous, her voice trembling.

“Am I that scary?” Gu Nanyan asked as she crossed her arms and lazily leaned against the door.

“No… not scary at all, Madam, you’re not scary at all…”

The maid’s words were quick, and she kept her head down, not daring to look Gu Nanyan in the eyes.

“What’s your name?”

“My name is Xiao Yue.”

“What happened to the previous maid?”

“Housekeeper Lin fired her, saying she… didn’t serve Madam well.”

After listening to Xiao Yue’s honest reply, Gu Nanyan felt a little more favorable toward her.

She dropped her arms and became more serious. “Are you from Housekeeper Lin?”

“Yes.”

Housekeeper Lin had been with Shen Boyan for many years and was his most loyal servant.

Gu Nanyan thought for a moment and said to Xiao Yue, “Do you know why the previous maid was fired? It was because she betrayed her master. I can’t stand betrayal. If you stay loyal to me, I’ll treat you well. But if you accept bribes and betray me, once I find out, it won’t be as simple as firing you.”

“Yes, I understand, Madam. I will follow you faithfully, without any second thoughts.”

Xiao Yue was so scared that she started crying, tears falling down her cheeks.

Seeing her timid appearance, Gu Nanyan couldn’t help but shake her head. “From now on, you don’t need to deliver my meals. I’ll go to the dining hall for every meal.”

With that, Gu Nanyan left and went downstairs.

Shen Boyan was usually too busy with work to come home for lunch.

The large dining hall was empty, with only Gu Nanyan eating alone.

Halfway through her meal, Qin Yuwei walked in.

The moment Gu Nanyan saw her, her eating slowed down.

What was she here for?

Shen Boyan only allowed Qin Yuwei to eat at the table when Xiao Mu Mu was present. Otherwise, she had no right to eat there.

But now Xiao Mu Mu was still at the early education institution, so what was Qin Yuwei doing here?

“Nanyan, I need to talk to you.”

Qin Yuwei sat down on the chair next to Gu Nanyan, acting warm and friendly, as if they were still best friends.

Gu Nanyan immediately put down her knife and fork.

This woman was deliberately trying to disturb her meal.

“What do you want to say?” Gu Nanyan propped her chin up, having eaten enough for now, calmly waiting to see what Qin Yuwei was up to.

“I feel like there’s some misunderstanding between us. Nanyan, don’t forget, we’re best friends. I don’t want to lose you because of some misunderstanding. As a friend, no matter what choice you make, I will support you.”

“Is that so? Then will you support me in not getting a divorce?”

Gu Nanyan asked with a cold laugh.

“If that’s your choice, of course I’ll support you.” Qin Yuwei replied before quickly adding, “But Nanyan, I don’t want you to regret it later. After all, you’ve liked He Yunrui for so many years. No matter what reason you have for letting go of him, this relationship should have a proper ending. If you two are really going to separate, you should say goodbye properly so there won’t be any regrets in the future.”
