Gu Xiaonuan did not answer Gu Xijue's calls, not even once.
This was not only because Gu Xiaonuan wanted to maintain distance from Gu Xijue, but also because, subconsciously, she hoped Gu Xijue would eventually give up on her.
It was her that made Gu Xijue finally change his mind, finally thinking of being with her, even if it meant abandoning everything he had.
However, Gu Xiaonuan's current situation was completely different from the past, she could no longer just think about herself.
She also had a child to take care of, and she wanted to give her son a complete growth environment. No matter who was missing from the child's life, whether it was her or Si Yuchen, it wouldn't be whole.
Gu Xiaonuan could only give up the love she had always insisted on, and this was her first time deciding to give up.
Having given up on the other person, Gu Xiaonuan seemed to finally discover the self she had overlooked in the past.
