It was clear that Lin Shen’s recent change in status had left her feeling incredibly conflicted.

After all, when they’d broken up just two months ago, he was nothing more than an ordinary office worker.

’How did he suddenly become a big boss?’

’He even casually booked a presidential suite that costs tens of thousands a night!’

Gu Wanting found it hard to believe, but the reality was undeniable, and she had no choice but to accept it.

Her ex-boyfriend had already made it big and was a completely different person now.

"Hello, Mr. Gu. I’ve already hung the clothes from your suitcase in the closet."

The butler was quite perceptive. Knowing Gu Zhiyuan was the head of the family, he emerged and gave him a slight bow.

"If you require anything at all, please feel free to use the room’s telephone to contact me. I’m on call twenty-four hours a day." 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

"Alright."

The butler’s exceedingly polite and courteous demeanor made Gu Zhiyuan a little tense. He immediately pointed to the fruit on the living room table and asked cautiously.

"Do we have to pay for these?"

"They don’t cost anything, Mr. Gu. All food, beverages, and amenities in the presidential suite are included in the room fee. You can use whatever you’d like, and if you need more, we can provide them at any time."

"Oh, I see."

Since this was his first time staying in a presidential suite, Gu Zhiyuan looked a little embarrassed.

"That’s good, then. Thank you."

"It’s my pleasure."

After the butler left, Chen Hui eagerly ran into the bathroom and discovered a variety of toiletries from high-end luxury brands.

’These were things she would never dare to buy when she was out shopping!’

’And now she could use them as much as she wanted—and even take them home!’

This made Chen Hui’s eyes light up, and she hurriedly shouted to Gu Zhiyuan, who was outside.

"Old Gu! Get in here! There’s good stuff! We should clear out a bag to take it all with us when we leave!"

"Can’t you have a little class! If anyone saw you, they’d think we were refugees fleeing a famine."

Gu Zhiyuan scolded her, but the moment he stepped into the bathroom, Chen Hui shot him a fierce glare and retorted sarcastically.

"Oh, *you’ve* got class! So much class! You didn’t even dare to eat the fruit on the table until you’d asked how much it cost."

"That..."

Seeing that her retort had left Gu Zhiyuan speechless, Chen Hui said coldly.

"Besides, this presidential suite must have cost Shen a lot of money. We have to at least try to get our money’s worth!"

"You have a point there."

Gu Zhiyuan found himself agreeing with Chen Hui’s logic.

Just as the couple was in the bathroom sizing up the toiletries, Gu Wanting pulled Gu Wanqing into the master bedroom, locked the door, and demanded in a grave tone.

"Qingqing, tell me the truth. Do you like Lin Shen?"

"Of course I do! Shen has been so good to me, he’s my favorite!"

Gu Wanqing’s heartfelt, excited words made Gu Wanting’s heart pound.

’Don’t tell me I actually guessed right?’

’But judging by Qingqing’s reaction, it seems more like a sister’s affection for her brother...’

This realization allowed Gu Wanting to breathe a small sigh of relief. She then explained gently.

"But he’s my ex-boyfriend. It’s best if you keep your distance from him, understand?"

Gu Wanting held Gu Wanqing by the shoulders and looked her in the eye, her expression incredibly serious.

"You should be on my side. The right thing to do is to cut off all contact with Lin Shen."

"But Lin Shen has never done anything to wrong me. Why should I cut off contact with him?"

Gu Wanqing tilted her head, asking innocently.

"Besides, it seems like Lin Shen treats you pretty well too. Do you really hate him that much?"

"It’s not that I hate him..."

Gu Wanting found it hard to explain the complicated emotions in her heart. If she had to use two words to describe it...

It would be "running away."

’Yes, that’s right. Right now, Gu Wanting just wanted to escape Lin Shen’s influence!’

She felt like his shadow loomed over every part of her life.

Not only was her own sister on such good terms with him, but even her parents admired and were fond of him.

If this kept up, Gu Wanting would have a hard time stopping herself from going back to Lin Shen.

After all, they had a strong history together. The only reason they broke up was because she had misunderstood him and gone astray.

’If I admit I was wrong, will Lin Shen forgive me?’

Gu Wanting couldn’t help but fantasize about the possibility, but Gu Wanqing immediately poured cold water on her hopes.

"Sister, actually, Lin Shen doesn’t hold a grudge against you anymore. You don’t have to worry about him pestering you or interfering with your current relationship."

’I *wish* he would interfere!’

’That would give me a good excuse to break up with Cheng Yue!’

Gu Wanting griped to herself. However, Gu Wanqing’s words filled her with a sense of loss and regret.

She knew Lin Shen well. He seemed gentle and easygoing on the surface.

But once he truly, stubbornly set his mind to something, no one could persuade him otherwise.

Therefore, Gu Wanting felt that simply admitting she was wrong would make it very difficult to win Lin Shen back.

’I’ll have to use some unconventional methods!’

Just as Gu Wanting was silently pondering her next move, Gu Wanqing suddenly asked out of curiosity.

"Sister, do you still like Lin Shen?"

"What good would it do? A missed opportunity is a missed opportunity."

Gu Wanting gave a bitter smile, clutching her chest as she murmured in a low, pained voice.

"Qingqing, to be honest, I regret it so much now. I regret losing someone who once had eyes only for me."

"I know I brought this all on myself. It’s my fault, I was being a total bitch, and I’ll admit to all of it. But will any of that earn me a chance to be forgiven by Lin Shen? I just... I really can’t let him go..."

"Sister... you just can’t bear to lose his money, right?"
