Just like with the massacre of the Gu clan, she was the key fool.
The people who loved her were killed by her stupidity.
She even declared that she would avenge them. Who could she avenge? Her stupidity had almost gotten her killed once again.
Feng Qingtian gently stroked her back. “Good girl, it’s fine. There’s still a chance to make things right. If you know what you did wrong, correct it. It’s useless to blame yourself.”
Gu Bailu pushed him away. “I can’t face you right now. I’m going to go calm down a bit.”
Gu Bailu scrambled off the couch and ran out.
Feng Qingtian heaved a sigh and trailed after her secretly.
He knew that she wouldn’t be able to accept it, which was why he had never dared tell her the truth.
It was time for her to face this problem properly.
His Lulu should be able to think it through.
However… he still hated to see her upset.
Gu Bailu’s head was completely blank. She wanted to kill herself to escape everything, escape her stupidity.
But… she knew she couldn’t die.
She was pregnant, and if she died, Feng Qingtian would be heartbroken, and would still look for her. He would once again lose everything.
She couldn’t die. Though she deserved death, and though she felt shame toward her family, she could only make up for her mistakes by staying alive.
Death wasn’t the solution.
She understood this, but she was afraid. She was scared that she would make more stupid mistakes and cause herself as well as others to suffer.
Gu Bailu had completely lost confidence in herself. She was afraid she would do something stupid.
Thus, even though she wanted to be alone, she didn’t dare go far. She simply sat in the courtyard garden, vexed and remorseful.
Feng Qingtian, who had followed her, felt his heart ache when he saw her like this. He knew that she was a kindhearted and smart person; she wasn’t stupid.
A woman would only act foolishly when she cared too much.
If she didn’t love him, she wouldn’t have been convinced so easily by the malicious lies of others.
He was just as much at fault as she was. He should’ve confessed everything to her before she learned the truth from someone else.
Back at Heavenly Palace Cliff, he really spoiled her and let her do anything she wanted, so she couldn’t accept it when he insisted on destroying the human world, and she then questioned his love for her.
It never occurred to her that he wanted her at the beginning only because she was a tool that could carry his baby.
When a woman lost in love learned such a cruel truth, how was she supposed to remain rational?
Gu Bailu sat for more than an hour. Feng Qingtian saw that her face had turned red from the cold and was afraid that she would freeze. He went over and stroked her head. “Lulu, let’s go inside. It’s cold out here.”
Gu Bailu raised her head and looked at him.
He was the man she loved and who loved her the most. He was once the master of Heavenly Palace Cliff, and used to indulge her in everything.
He was so gorgeous, and he gave all of his love to her.
After everything that had happened, he was still by her side, and didn’t disdain her at all. How could this man be so silly?
She stood up and flung herself into his arms. “I was wrong, I was wrong…”
She finally started crying.
Feng Qingtian lowered his head and kissed her. “It’s fine. We can turn things around together. There’s nothing to be scared of as long as we’re together.”
“Okay. I’m going to make up for my stupidity.”
