After Losing My Memory, My Husband Begged Me to Love Him Again

Chapter 26

Lu Yu couldn't find a reason to refuse, because Gu Wan's words couldn't have been more normal - the kind of normal that wouldn't raise any eyebrows anywhere.

It was just that his emotions made Lu Yu sincerely not want her to leave, wanting to be able to see her all the time.

However, Gu Wan refused.

The former Lu Yu couldn't understand why Gu Wan was always being unreasonable, why she often wouldn't listen even when he explained things logically. Now he realized that this world doesn't just operate on logic, but also on emotions.

And emotions, by their very nature, are not logical.

Although Gu Wan said she wanted to go on a trip, she wasn't completely inconsiderate of Lu Yu's feelings. Even though she couldn't understand why such a simple decision would trouble an adult like Lu Yu, she thought that since she was married after all, she should consider her partner's emotions no matter what she did. So Gu Wan made sure to give advance notice, and it wasn't until a week later that she was actually ready to leave.

She was truly thoughtful, just as he had initially thought she was, and she didn't miss a single step.

Lu Yu probably knew that his former self thought he was doing very well, but now he understood why she still felt unsatisfied.

Lu Yu felt a wave of deep helplessness wash over him.

Gu Wan even spent the weekend with Lu Yu, waiting until early Monday morning before leaving with a suitcase in one hand and Beibei on a leash in the other.

With a total of three cars and six drivers doubling as bodyguards, they could take turns on the road, probably reaching the neighboring province by nightfall.

The huge villa suddenly became quiet.

The housekeeper and maid worked routinely, and looking around, Lu Yu found it all uninteresting. Finally, he silently went to the company.

Whether it was an illusion or not, it seemed that the boss's mood wasn't very good. The entire company, from top to bottom, vaguely sensed something was off.

On the other side.

Gu Wan didn't actually bring much for this trip. She left with just her phone, some cash, and a few cards. After all, cities nowadays are very developed, and whatever she needed could be easily bought. There was no need for special preparations as replaceable items were everywhere.

The only thing that needed attention was Beibei's physical condition. Fortunately, after getting on the road, according to Gu Wan's observation, Beibei didn't seem uncomfortable at all. In fact, he was quite energetic, wanting to stick his head out the window to look around.

Beibei was a very smart and sensible little dog. When there were no people on the road and vehicles were scarce, Gu Wan would open the window to let him feel the breeze and look at the scenery on both sides of the road. Occasionally, when excitement took over, Beibei would bark a few times at the outside world, but he would quickly stop as soon as Gu Wan told him to.

After Gu Wan's parents died in a car accident, she had gone on a few solo trips on others' advice. However, at that time, she was full of confusion and felt lost, feeling as if she had been suddenly isolated from the world. Consequently, even the sky in the distance seemed gloomy and foggy in her memory, leaving a very bad impression. So she reduced the number of times she went out. At that time, Gu Wan only felt tired and very depressed, and completely lost interest in traveling.

To this day, although Gu Wan's heart had never been fully filled, perhaps because she had grown up, she had gradually become numb. Or maybe she realized that some things couldn't be obtained just because she wanted them. After discovering that the earth didn't revolve around her, when Gu Wan looked into the distance again, it wasn't as unbearable as it was in her memory.

Sometimes, numbness doesn't seem to be such a bad thing.

At least after becoming numb, you can't feel the pain of unfulfilled desires anymore.

At noon, Gu Wan ate a bowl of noodle soup with several bodyguards at a service area. When they saw her sitting on a cafeteria chair, the bodyguards couldn't help but gasp. The team leader who came in later saw this scene and felt even more uneasy.

"Why did you get out of the car, ma'am?"

The team leader had just been thinking about spending some money to have the restaurant cook a few dishes separately and then deliver them to the car for this precious lady, saving her from having to walk such a distance.

But what the team leader regretted more was not stopping at the previous large service area, resulting in having to dine in such a tiny service area.

Gu Wan felt that these people seemed to have some misunderstanding about her. The one who truly had power and influence was Lu Yu, not her. Without Lu Yu, she was just an ordinary person with some assets. Perhaps she had a pretty face, but that was all.

However, what Gu Wan didn't know was that this scene appeared completely different in the eyes of the bodyguards.

Just sitting there, she was completely different from everyone else around her, feeling so out of place, like an extremely rare flower growing in a messy lawn, standing out.

Yet she was completely unaware, even turning back to ask them if they wanted to sit down and eat together.

After a while, they each sat down at positions neither too far nor too close to Gu Wan, then lowered their heads and ate silently.

When other people in the service area first saw this lineup, they wondered if she might be some celebrity. Looking at her, they thought, with looks like that, she must be a star.

Although they didn't recognize her, they thought it wouldn't hurt to take a couple of photos since they'd encountered her. What if she became famous in the future?

It wasn't until they were stopped by the bodyguards, who very politely explained that the young woman wasn't a public figure and asked if they could delete the photos they'd taken, that the people who were stopped finally realized.

Not a celebrity but traveling with so many bodyguards? Damn, she must be a real rich family's daughter. They'd learned something new.

Hearing the surrounding discussions immediately change direction, the bodyguards twitched their mouths, not knowing whether they should continue to explain. They felt that persisting might seem like making a mountain out of a molehill, but not explaining also felt like they weren't earning their salary from Mr. Lu.

So ultimately, it was because the madam was really too young. Especially now, dressed in sportswear, she looked exactly like a college student. Once away from Mr. Lu's side, no one would think she was already married. As for that plain ring, it's not uncommon for college students to wear random accessories, right?

The bodyguards didn't dare to imagine how many people would surround their madam after they left her at the destination.

However, the madam only asked them to escort her, not to stay. Once they reached the destination, they would have to return, and then there wouldn't even be anyone to keep others away.

As men themselves, the bodyguards felt that Mr. Lu must be worried, but the fact that he could still sit still until now - as expected of a big boss, able to remain calm and treat such beauty as nothing.

Only Gu Wan thought that the noodles at the service area were really mediocre.

She hoped the food at the destination would be more delicious.

So her casual demeanor made her appear even more beautiful.

At eleven o'clock in the evening, the car slowly pulled up in front of a five-star hotel. Seeing that they had been driving for almost a day and were probably tired, Gu Wan didn't trouble them further. She just took Beibei and went to her room on her own.

Gu Wan had checked online in advance and booked a luxury suite at this hotel. Opening the window of the room, although she couldn't see the ocean yet and it was pitch black outside, Gu Wan could already smell the salty sea breeze.

After putting down her suitcase and taking out dog food from it to feed Beibei, Gu Wan also ordered room service. As she lay down on the sofa, Gu Wan belatedly took out her phone.

Qianqian asked if she had arrived and how the hotel was. Gu Wan casually replied that everything was OK.

[Remember to wear the swimsuit I bought specially for you. Trust me, it's super pretty!]

Upon learning that Gu Wan was going on a trip, Xia Qianqian had helped with quite a few travel tips in her spare time. Especially after seeing a swimsuit on a certain review app, Xia Qianqian fell in love at first sight and placed an order without hesitation.

Although she didn't come, with Gu Wan wearing the swimsuit she bought, it was as if she had come along too.

After that came a message from Lu Yu. Gu Wan realized that two full hours had passed since he sent it, as she had accidentally fallen asleep on the way and only saw it now.

Gu Wan also took the opportunity to report her safe arrival to him.

With Gu Wan not at home, Lu Yu couldn't be bothered to return to the villa, so he simply stayed overnight at the company.

It had been a long time since the lights in the top floor office were on so late at night. Qin Assistant, passing by, couldn't help but peek inside. He saw his boss frowning as he handled documents. Suddenly, the phone beside Lu Yu lit up. The CEO seemed to notice something, put down his pen, and casually picked up the phone.

In no time, Qin Assistant saw the corner of Lu Yu's mouth curl up slightly. With Qin's not-so-excellent eyesight, he could make out that the CEO seemed to be video chatting with someone. However, it was brief, lasting only a few minutes judging by the sound, before the other side hung up. Subsequently, Lu Yu's upturned lips visibly flattened out again.

Qin Assistant didn't dare to even say hello and hurried to leave work.

Early the next morning, several bodyguards returned home one after another, finally leaving only two people to deal with any issues that might arise during the trip.

Of course, Gu Wan didn't want any of them, but Lu Yu insisted, so she had no choice but to let him have his way.

In the hotel room, after Gu Wan was fully awake, she finally had time to look at the super beautiful and ethereal swimsuit that Xia Qianqian had strongly recommended the night before.

Xia Qianqian's taste had always been good, and when the swimsuit was unfolded, it indeed looked stunning. However, Xia Qianqian preferred a lively and youthful style, so the swimsuit she chose was naturally a type that mixed sweetness with a hint of spiciness, quite different from Gu Wan's usual dressing style. But it wouldn't hurt to try something new occasionally.

Fortunately, Gu Wan had gained some weight recently, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to fill it out.

The cool swimsuit clung tightly to her skin, perfectly outlining Gu Wan's waistline. The lake green skirt barely covered anything, revealing long, straight, white legs with well-proportioned flesh and bone. This sight left Xia Qianqian, who later video-called her, staring in awe. Not to mention the open-back design with lace-up straps, through which creamy white skin peeked tantalizingly.

Xia Qianqian gulped audibly.

As expected of her, what an eye for fashion!

The hotel where Gu Wan was staying happened to have a beach. Gu Wan, wearing the swimsuit and holding Beibei's leash, headed out. Watching her silhouette, the two remaining bodyguards couldn't help but draw in a sharp breath, their very souls seeming to tremble.

But they couldn't directly tell Mr. Lu, otherwise they would end up like the four who had been sent back.

So what should they do?

After a long while, the two couldn't come up with any good ideas and could only silently follow at a distance.

Gu Wan was completely oblivious. At this moment, far away in City A, Lu Yu waited for everyone to arrive before announcing the start of the meeting.
