Gu Yunxi never expected that the medicine she intended to use against Mu Shuoqian would be used against her, and even less did she expect that Mu Shuoqian would be willing to spend a lifetime in prison for a woman.
Her chin was clutched tightly, and she couldn’t move her body, only able to watch in complete despair as he poured the medicine into her mouth.
She didn’t want to die, she really didn’t want to die...
The medicated water had no odd odor at all, most suitable for killing without a trace. Just as she took a sip, she felt the steps of the Grim Reaper approaching her.
At that moment, the door was suddenly pushed open, light from outside poured in, Mu Shuoqian’s action halted, he turned his head, meeting Gu Qili’s somewhat bewildered gaze. Then, as if understanding something, she incredulously shook her head, without hesitation, she quickly walked over.
Gu Qili reached out her hand, knocking the water cup from Mu Shuoqian’s hand, splashing the liquid all over the ground.
"Sister, save me." Gu Yunxi, seeing a glimmer of hope for survival, cried out anxiously: "He’s going to kill me, save me."
Mu Shuoqian hadn’t expected Gu Qili to appear suddenly, and for a moment, he seemed a bit at a loss.
Gu Qili looked at him, her eyes swirling with complex emotions. How could this be? He was actually prepared to kill someone for her. Didn’t he know the principle of ’a life for a life’? Or had he already prepared himself to pay that price? The most update n0vels are published on 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹✶𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲✶𝗻𝗲𝘁
How could he be so foolish, foolish enough to make her cry in emotions even though she knew the person he was planning to kill was her sister?
"Mu Shuoqian." With a hoarse voice, she also raised one of her palms.
Gu Yunxi thought Gu Qili was going to slap Mu Shuoqian, after all, she was her elder sister, and being kind-hearted, seeing her husband attempting to kill her sister, anger was natural; just as she was feeling smug about it, the hand that Gu Qili raised hooked around his neck, and she hugged him tightly with both hands.
"Ah Qian, don’t do this, I don’t want you to die or go to prison because of me. If you are gone, what meaning does my life still hold? Moreover, we can’t be so selfish that we deprive an innocent life for ourselves, even if this person is utterly wicked," Gu Qili said, tears in her eyes, feeling his tensely clenched body, "We can wait, Ah Qian, as long as you are here, I can wait forever, even if it never comes, to die by your side would also fill my heart with satisfaction. I’d rather die than let your hands be stained with blood, do you understand that?"
Mu Shuoqian silently took a breath and gently placed his hand on her waist, feeling her having lost weight again, his heartache was immeasurable, "I’ve been too useless."
"You’ve done well enough, truly," Gu Qili stared into his deep eyes, "Everything you’ve done for me, I remember it here," she indicated the position of her heart.
Gu Yunxi, seizing the opportunity while the two hugged, secretly attempted to sneak out, but was stopped by one of the subordinates at the door.
Mu Shuoqian’s peripheral vision had already caught Gu Yunxi attempting to escape; he gently pushed Gu Qili to the side, telling his subordinate, "Take her along with the remaining bottle of medicine to the police for handling, and say she was carrying illegal drugs."
"Understood, Young Master Qian."
"Sister." Gu Yunxi did not want to go to the police station, she hurriedly rushed towards Gu Qili, in her eyes, Gu Qili was the kind-hearted type who could be placated with a few soft words, otherwise, she wouldn’t have stopped Mu Shuoqian; who doesn’t want to live a good life.
"Sister, for the sake of us being real sisters, don’t hand me over to the police, I was wrong, I know I was wrong, I promise I will not trouble you both again, I will go back to M country and never return to Aus City," Gu Yunxi begged pitifully while grasping Gu Qili’s sleeve.
Looking at the face identical to hers, Gu Qili felt an indescribable sorrow. Born from the same parents, yet it has come to this.
She sighed lightly, gently brushing off her hand: "When you and Qiu Yufei were planning my kidnapping, did you remember I was your sister? When you were about to execute your sinister plan, did you think of me as your sister? I did not let Mu Shuoqian take your life not because you are my sister, but because I did not want his hands to be stained with blood. Initially, I did consider that we were sisters from the same parents, but when you came with malicious intentions of revenge, any sense of sisterhood disappeared completely. Gu Yunxi, your mother’s death is no one’s fault but her own."
