CEO Wants To Marry Me After Divorce
Chapter 1546. He has been enduring it all along

Chapter 1546: 1546. He has been enduring it all along

In her second year after graduation, the dean fell seriously ill and passed away with no cure available.

At that time, Qiaoxu had already left Lu Moqing a divorce agreement and went to the United States, without any contact for many years.

She learned about the death of the dean from Xia Yumo later on.

Although she seemed to have let it go at that time, Qiaoxu could imagine that the dean meant a lot to her, even more so than her mother. Losing someone like a mother all of a sudden must have been a huge blow to her.

Over the years, she had managed to overcome the grief caused by the dean’s death and now, her memory stopped at nine years ago.

At that time, the dean was still alive.

Now, it seemed that she had to experience the pain of the dean’s death all over again.

It was indeed a bit cruel for her.

Thinking about the possibility that she may not be able to walk in the future, Qiaoxu’s heart ached, and she turned away with a sudden sourness in her nose.

"I just...I just called the dean, but...no one answered...I called the orphanage, and Mother Chen said... the dean had been dead for five years."

Xia Yumo uttered the words with difficulty, one by one, as if she were a lost child with no way home.

Gu Junhang’s heart ached even more seeing her in this state.

But he didn’t know about the dean’s death.

Back then, she suddenly asked him for a breakup without any explanation and left without further discussion.

They didn’t meet again until three years later.

It was only last year that he heard about the dean’s death from Mo Mo’s words.

Although he didn’t know the process in between, it didn’t prevent him from comforting her.

"Mo Mo, the dean’s death was a release from her illness. Don’t be sad."

He sat next to her, gently stroking her long hair, and continued to comfort her:

"Although you couldn’t grant her a long life, you were there to take care of her in her last days, accompanying her. She passed away peacefully and happily in your company."

"Is that true?"

Xia Yumo raised her head with red eyes and asked in a hoarse voice.

"It’s true. If you don’t believe it, you can ask other people at the orphanage."

On this point, Gu Junhang was not lying to her.

Last year, she had told him about many of the things she experienced after their breakup, including the dean’s passing.

The incident was a great shock to her, and he had regretted not asking anything nor holding her back when she broke up with him. He let her face those dark and sad days alone.

Back then, he thought letting her go and not pester her too much would be the best for both of them and they could part on good terms.

During the three years without her, he endured and managed to live through the days.

However, the irony was that he thought he had really moved on and continued to be rational as ever. But when hearing a voice identical to hers in Lu’s company, he rushed out like a madman.

When he saw her name on the business card on Lu Moqing’s desk, his self-proclaimed rationality and self-control vanished in an instant.

It was at that moment that he realized that during those three years, he never really got over her.
