I'm Done Cleaning Up His Messes. Why Is CEO Gu the One Losing His Cool?

On the night of their third wedding anniversary, Wen Zhuo didn’t wait for her husband to come home. Instead, she saw a trending post about a banquet. In the photo, Gu Yanzhou stood beneath the lights, personally helping another woman into a car. And the antique Gu family wedding ornament on the woman’s head was the very piece Wen Zhuo had spent three months restoring by hand, and had never once dared to wear herself. Even more absurdly, the Gu family summoned her back to the old home that very night, not to explain or comfort her, but to tell her to keep up appearances and not make a scene. When Gu Yanzhou came back, all he said was, “I lent it to her for one night.” That one sentence finally killed Wen Zhuo’s love for him. She smashed the jewelry box, took off her wedding ring, and left the Gu family with her suitcase, withdrawing from every Gu Group project as she went. The Gu family thought she was just throwing a tantrum, and Gu Yanzhou thought she would come back. It wasn’t until the next day, when the main event at the Gu Group jewelry launch ground to a halt and all their business partners turned on them, that the entire Gu family finally understood Wen Zhuo hadn’t just walked away from the position of Mrs. Gu. She had also taken with her the hands Gu Yanzhou had relied on most over the years, and should never have let go. Later, everyone waited for Wen Zhuo to come back. Only Gu Yanzhou, his eyes red, blocked the entrance to her studio and asked in a low voice, “Wen Zhuo, you wouldn’t even keep that wedding set. Does that mean you don’t want me either?” Wen Zhuo smiled. Before closing the door, she gave him one last answer: “Mr. Gu, didn’t you lend me out a long time ago?”
