Chapter 407 I also have a secret
The doubts in Jiang Ning's heart were like a haze that could not be dispelled.
Although Gu Yuan tried his best to explain, she chose to believe it on the surface, but deep in her heart, the lipstick mark was like a thorn, reminding her from time to time that some things were not as simple as they seemed on the surface.
Driven by this anxiety, Jiang Ning made a decision
——She secretly hired a private detective, hoping to uncover the mystery in her heart.
She told herself that this was just to seek peace of mind and to confirm Gu Yuan's innocence.
A few days later, the detectives returned with their findings.
What shocked Jiang Ning was that there were indeed some loopholes in the information provided by the detective that she could not ignore.
These included Gu Yuan's frequent contact with a female colleague outside of work, as well as some seemingly coincidental late-night call records.
These messages were like cold raindrops, mercilessly hitting Jiang Ning's heart.
Jiang Ning's heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and every breath was accompanied by unspeakable pain.
She once thought she was the happiest woman in the world, with a husband who loved her deeply and a warm home. However, reality was like a cold boulder, ruthlessly smashing all her fantasies.
Those seemingly insignificant details in the detective's report have now become the heaviest burden on her mind.
The photo of Gu Yuan and the female colleague was taken in public, but their postures seemed too intimate.
Although the late-night call records can be explained by work, the large number of calls and the late times make people unable to help but make associations.
Jiang Ning's fingers were trembling slightly. She didn't even dare to look closely at the words and pictures, for fear that she would collapse in the next second.
The night was falling, the stars were dim, and Jiang Ning sat alone under the dim light. The report in his hand seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.
Her mind kept replaying every beautiful moment since she met Gu Yuan, the laughter and joy they once had, the promises they made together, but now they seemed so far away.
Finally, she made a decision.
She has to face it all, even if it is a heart-wrenching truth, she has to bravely uncover it.
Because she knows that only in this way can she find her true self and decide her own future.
The moment Gu Yuan stepped into the house, he immediately felt the tense atmosphere in the air.
Jiang Ning's eyes made him shudder. It was a kind of determination and indifference he had never seen before.
"Gu Yuan, we need to talk."
Jiang Ning's voice was calm and almost cold. She looked straight at Gu Yuan without any retreat.
Gu Yuan's heart sank to the bottom, this day finally came.
He sat down, looked at the report on the table, took a deep breath, and prepared for the coming storm.
Jiang Ning pushed the report towards him, with a barely perceptible tremor in his voice:
"Tell me, what are these?"
Gu Yuan's eyes wandered over the evidence, his face was as pale as paper, and his lips moved but no sound came out.
He knew that no matter what he said, he could not undo the damage that had been done.
But he also knew that if he didn't tell the truth, the rift between him and Jiang Ning would only get deeper.
"I have something to hide."
He said this with great forbearance, as if he had used up all his strength just to say it.
"Okay, then tell me what you are hiding. Tell me everything."
Jiang Ning questioned him.
But even so, Gu Yuan remained silent. He would rather leave Jiang Ning alone than utter a word.
In the following time, the conversation between the two was like a war without the smoke of gunpowder. Every word was like a sharp blade, cutting each other's hearts.
Tears welled up in Jiang Ning's eyes, but she tried hard not to let them fall.
This conversation lasted for a long time until the sky outside was shrouded in night again.
Jiang Ning and Gu Yuan were both exhausted, but they knew that this was just the beginning.
No matter what the outcome is, they must face reality, face their true feelings, and then decide on the path forward.
After this long and painful night, the relationship between Jiang Ning and Gu Yuan will usher in a new turning point.
Whether they can overcome this hurdle and rebuild trust and love between each other remains unknown.
But one thing is certain: no matter what the outcome, they will come out stronger.
However, Jiang Ning still felt unprecedented confusion and pain. She didn't know how to face these evidences, let alone how to face Gu Yuan.
She once thought their love was indestructible, but now, she began to doubt whether it was all just her wishful thinking.
On a sleepless night, Jiang Ning sat alone on the sofa in the living room, holding the report provided by the detective tightly in his hand, tears silently falling.
She recalled every moment she spent with Gu Yuan. Those sweet times now became blurred, as if separated by a layer of mist.
