Chapter 1041 - 1044: She Is His Last Sanctuary 8
In the roaring car, a bunch of women filled up his sports car, standing on it and acting wild, loudly belting out songs. Hua Hua was driving with her ears about to go deaf, couldn’t help but laugh and scold: "You crazy
women! Alright, tonight, this young master will properly join you in your fun!"
.......................
In the Gu Family residence late at night, after freshening up, Chenxing climbed into bed, kneeling and massaging Gu Shaocheng’s muscles all over his body as he lazily lay there, eyes closed, resting in comfort.
"Shaocheng, does it feel good?"
"Mm." After a faint response, some time passed before he said, "I slipped in the bathroom today."
"What?" Chenxing suddenly lifted her head.
Seeing her face tense with worry, Gu Shaocheng explained in his usual calm and breezy manner, "I wasn’t hurt."
Chenxing bit her lip, trying to muster a smile, "That’s good you weren’t hurt. Be more careful in the future. Walk slower, Shaocheng, I’ll give you more massages."
Gu Shaocheng’s expression unchanged, he hesitated a moment: "Tian Buyu said, with the frequency of my condition’s flare-ups, it won’t be long before my legs could potentially fail to stand again. If a targeted medicine isn’t developed soon, I might really become paralyzed. Chenxing, are you afraid?"
Chenxing couldn’t imagine what it would be like for a man like Shaocheng to sit in a wheelchair every day, she didn’t even dare to fantasize such a scene. She just felt a recurring sharp pain at the location of her heart.
Without waiting for her answer, Gu Shaocheng said, "I’d like to get married soon. Otherwise, at the wedding, a groom in a wheelchair would make you a laughingstock."
"Nonsense." Chenxing suddenly pounced over, covering his mouth, eyes fixed intently on him: "I’m not afraid, and I don’t care. As long as I’m with you, nothing else matters to me, Shaocheng, really, I’m not scared."
"It’s good you aren’t afraid." He managed to pull off a faint smile and kissed her brows.
In a place she couldn’t see, his eyes revealed a different kind of light.
He wanted to say that in fact, he was very afraid. Afraid that one day he might suddenly not be able to stand up, that he might end up in a wheelchair, very afraid...
"Let’s sleep. I might be quite busy this month, organizing a banquet. You’re pregnant, it’s better not to wander about, to avoid coming into contact with anything unclean."
Chenxing obediently curled up in his arm, her eyebrows lifting curiously: "What kind of unclean things?"
"With a large number of people around, what if someone has an infectious disease?" Gu Shaocheng casually spun a tale to tease her. Chenxing was unconcerned: "What’s there to fear? Back when I was in Liberia, things like AIDS..."
"Don’t start talking about your time in Liberia, turning into a dark ball and still having the nerve to keep bringing it up now and then, that’s because heaven was looking out for me otherwise, you’d have been riddled with all sorts of infectious diseases by now." Thinking about her staying alone in that desolate place for several months, his heart ached immensely. He reached out to pinch her face, which had taken him several months to nurse back to fairness, what a struggle it had been.
Chenxing internally disagreed, but audibly just huffed lightly: "Fine, I can’t be bothered to go out anyway, lest I end up being mistaken for a thief again, or people saying I’m not good enough for you."
