"Xiao, that’s not what I meant. I just think the current situation is too unbearable. I only want you by my side, but how could you treat me ?"
She had tried so many times to make their life together happier, but the other person didn’t have to do anything and already earned Gu Qixiao’s affection.
This feeling was far too heartbreaking, which was why she made this decision.
"Song Xuan, do you know how much I regret it now? I deeply regret not killing you the moment I discovered you kidnapped Yu."
As he spoke those words, it was as though a blade had plunged straight into her heart.
She had never expected to hear such words, and her expression turned deathly pale. The source of this content ɪs novel_fіre.net
"Xiao, how can you say something like that to me? Do you know how deeply hurtful those words are to me?"
The pain was suffocating her, leaving her struggling to breathe.
"What I’m saying is my final warning to you. After this, you’ll understand just how cruel I can be to you."
If anything were to happen to their child, he would never let her off easily.
At that moment, the light on the operating room door turned off.
The doctor emerged with a faint smile on their face.
"This is truly a miracle. Both the child and the mother are safe. Just make sure to protect her well afterward and ensure no more accidents occur."
Such cases were exceedingly rare; they had almost decided to terminate the pregnancy, but at the last moment, things took a turn for the better.
Upon hearing these words, Gu Qixiao was overwhelmed with emotion.
He felt as though the heavy stone weighing on his heart had finally been lifted.
After all, everyone knew that no one had been more worried about this than him.
"Take her and lock her in the basement." Gu Qixiao no longer wanted to deal with Song Xuan—there were far more important matters at hand.
Seeing this, the others figured he wanted some alone time with Ji Yu and refrained from disturbing them any further.
Feng Qinqin looked at Ji Yuanzhou, noticing his exhausted appearance, and couldn’t help but feel a pang of heartache.
"Why do you keep pushing yourself to the brink ? I can’t even help you. You should really try to think positively—maybe everything will turn out smooth and fine after this."
She actually still wanted to have a proper conversation with him about their relationship, but seeing how worn out he was, she thought maybe some things weren’t worth dwelling on too much.
She had been doing her best to nurture their relationship.
Ji Yuanzhou knew he had been incredibly busy lately, perhaps at the expense of her feelings.
"Qinqin, I’m sorry. So much has been happening during this time that I couldn’t help but prioritize my family over us, and I’ve neglected you as a result."
He felt the need to apologize now; otherwise, their relationship would really be beyond saving. Some issues just couldn’t be ignored.
Feng Qinqin looked at him with some surprise.
"I didn’t expect you to apologize, but since you’re being so sincere, I’ll accept it. I just hope we can be closer and happier in the future."
She wished to deepen their bond and hoped they could be together forever, free from further complications.
While the two of them had patched things up, Gu Qixiao’s side was far from peaceful.
He couldn’t believe things had come to this. He blamed himself for not taking care of everything earlier—if only he had dealt with Song Xuan sooner, none of this would’ve happened.
"Yu, if you can hear me, please wake up. I miss you so much. I’ve been thinking that if only you weren’t unconscious, how perfect that would be."
Actually, Ji Yu’s condition at the moment wasn’t all that serious.
Gu Qixiao had stayed up all night, afraid that something might happen to her again.
The first thing Ji Yu saw when she opened her eyes was the dark circles under his eyes.
"Gu Qixiao, why have you worn yourself out ? I just took a nap, that’s all." She didn’t think too much of it. After all, this entire ordeal had nothing to do with him—it was all Song Xuan’s doing.
"Yu..." Gu Qixiao was so overwhelmed with emotion that he didn’t even know what to say. He was simply overjoyed. Thankfully, the heavens showed mercy and didn’t take her away from him.
"I just took a nap. Why have you driven yourself to this point? I hope that while I’m resting, you can be happy and stop worrying so much about me."
Seeing his disheveled appearance, Ji Yu felt a deep ache in her heart.
"You shouldn’t keep blaming yourself for this. It was all orchestrated by someone else and has nothing to do with you."
To everyone, these incidents had been deeply painful.
But for Gu Qixiao, the guilt and mental torment were even more unbearable.
"Yu, I deeply regret it. Why didn’t I deal with her earlier? If I had gotten rid of her sooner, none of this would have happened. I never expected that she would go as far as to try to run you over with a car."
His heart was filled with guilt. He felt that he was partly to blame for the entire situation. If only he had been more careful and cautious back then, it wouldn’t have come to this.
"Alright, it’s really not that big of a deal. I’m fine now, and even the baby is okay. In fact, we all love you so much that we’d never leave you at a time ."
She did her best to comfort him, hoping he would stop being so distraught.
Mr. Gu walked in to see his son on the verge of tears and couldn’t help but feel exasperated.
"Look at you, crying like a child at a woman’s bedside with that despairing look. What’s the matter with you?"
He couldn’t stand seeing a grown man cry.
"I just feel so sorry for Yu." Gu Qixiao didn’t think crying was anything to be ashamed of. Besides, why can’t a man cry? He was simply overcome with emotions, unable to control himself.
He was unapologetically sincere about it. Even Ji Yu felt for him, seeing him cry . Wasn’t this a form of mutual devotion?
"Uncle Gu, he’s not usually . It’s just that this incident really terrified him, which is why he’s acting this way now. Please, don’t scold him anymore."
Gu Qixiao truly, madly, deeply loved her.
