At this moment.
Gu Tingyan's world, however, seemed to be shrouded in a chaotic dark cloud.
He had promised Jiang Yi that he would take good care of himself and make time for her, but the company's business overwhelmed him like a surging tide.
He sat in his office, surrounded by mountains of documents, with various data and charts flashing on his computer screen.
The lights were glaring and cold, reflecting off his tired and irritable face.
His brow was furrowed, his eyes revealing exhaustion and helplessness. His pen moved rapidly as he signed documents, muttering to himself, "This project must be completed as soon as possible..."
He completely forgot his promise to Jiang Yi.
It wasn't until Jiang Yi called that he suddenly remembered.
He picked up the phone somewhat flusteredly, but before he could speak, Jiang Yi's angry voice came through: "Gu Tingyan, are you busy again? Have you forgotten our agreement again?"
Gu Tingyan tried to explain, "Jiang Yi, I've just been incredibly busy. This project is far too important to the company..."
"It's always the same! Do you know how long I've waited for you? Is your promise so worthless?" Jiang Yi's voice trembled with anger, and tears welled up in her eyes.
She gripped her phone tightly, her fingers turning white from the force.
"I...I will make it up to you. This is a really special case." Gu Tingyan's voice lacked confidence.
"No need, I don't want to hear your excuses anymore," Jiang Yi said and hung up the phone.
Her heart was filled with resentment and anger.
From then on, Gu Tingyan's temperament worsened, and his insomnia and stomach problems began to torment him again.
At night, in the dark room, only his lonely figure remained. He lay on the bed, tossing and turning, the image of Jiang Yi's angry face constantly appearing in his mind, and regret overwhelmed him like a tide.
Jiang Yi decided to ignore Gu Tingyan and focused all her energy on her work.
When she learned about the free medical clinic event in the countryside, she signed up without hesitation.
The village where the free clinic was held was located in a remote mountainous area with fresh air but rugged roads.
Jiang Yi and her medical team rode in a bumpy car, kicking up dust along the way.
Looking at the scenery outside the window, Jiang Yi felt a mix of resentment and worry towards Gu Tingyan.
The doctor who was with her noticed what was on her mind and said with a smile, "What's wrong? Still having a fight with your boyfriend?"
Jiang Yi gave a wry smile: "He's always like this. I don't want to forgive him easily this time."
Upon arrival in the village, they were warmly welcomed by the villagers.
The makeshift clinic was packed with villagers seeking medical treatment.
Jiang Yi immediately threw herself into her work, gently inquiring about the villagers' conditions and carefully examining them.
His focused expression warmed the hearts of the villagers.
After finishing his urgent business at the company, Gu Tingyan went to find Jiang Yi to try and salvage their relationship.
Upon learning that Jiang Yi was going to the countryside to provide free medical services, he rushed there without stopping.
He was extremely anxious on the way, constantly thinking about what he would say to Jiang Yi when he saw her.
When he arrived at the village, he was stunned to see Jiang Yi's busy figure.
Jiang Yi was wearing a white coat, her hair was tied in a ponytail, and there were fine beads of sweat on her forehead, but her serious expression made his heart flutter.
He walked slowly over and called softly, "Jiang Yi..."
Jiang Yi looked up and saw Gu Tingyan. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but it quickly turned cold: "What are you doing here? We don't need you here."
Gu Tingyan stood there somewhat awkwardly: "I'm here to apologize to you. I know I was wrong. I shouldn't always break my promises."
