Chapter 876 - 879: How Did He Survive?
But the man holding her still pulled out his phone and dialed, "Have Doctor He come over..."
The call was not finished when Chenxing snatched it away, shaking her head, "I’m not sick."
"Then what’s wrong? Why are you crying? Tell me," he insisted, his demeanor forceful yet his gaze exceptionally tender.
Chenxing did not reply, but instead lifted her chin, wrapped her arms around his neck, and in the next second, she kissed his lips passionately, the tears that had pooled in her eyes cascading down non-stop.
The more she kissed, the more her heart raced with panic.
Gu Shaocheng felt her abnormal enthusiasm and was filled with questions, but he suppressed them for the time being.
He couldn’t withstand her heated kiss, and after just a few seconds, he took control by cupping her face in his hands and pulling back to look intently into her red-rimmed eyes.
Those tear-filled eyes seemed to harbor endless sorrow.
Looking at him, Young Master Gu instinctively tensed, a flood of indescribable emotions rising within him, as he asked in confusion, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
The emotions in those eyes were filled with heartache.
Being stared at with such pitiful, sorrowful eyes made him feel utterly uncomfortable.
"Honey, tell me, what happened? Why are you so sad?"
Chenxing’s gaze shifted, evasive.
Young Master Gu would not allow it.
He pinched her chin, forcing her to maintain eye contact with an uncompromisingly dominant tone, while his other hand soothingly caressed her back with light strokes.
"Chenxing, you know, I always find a way to learn what I want to know."
Chenxing dared not ask, not confirm, and even less to tell him what she had just witnessed.
What he concealed from her, from everyone, was it correct?
Otherwise, for such a big incident to occur, how could she have heard nothing at all?
Yes, for a man like him, facing such an illness, how did he manage to persist?
How could he bear it!
And how could he possibly allow others to know!
In an instant, her mind raced through many thoughts, and the more she thought, the more she felt utterly weak.
"I had a dream, a terrible nightmare," Chenxing spoke, and as she did, she bit her lower lip and trembled slightly.
A chuckle came from above her head, and she was enfolded into a warm embrace.
"Silly girl, to cry so much over just a dream, are you really made of water, hm?"
Gu Shaocheng didn’t suspect anything else, his whole demeanor one of indulgence. There had been a few occasions when she’d had nightmares and clung to him tightly, shaking all over with an appearance of having been severely frightened, and sometimes, she even cried, a fact she herself didn’t understand.
He drew her closer into his embrace, his voice tender to the bone as he asked, "Tell me, what nightmare did you have?"
Master of heaven and earth, yet unable to control her dreams, Gu Shaocheng felt a hint of defeat over this, wishing he could catch the legendary Duke of Zhou and threaten or bribe him. He would tell that deity that his woman should only have sweet dreams, and if any nightmares were given to scare her, he wouldn’t let even a god off the hook.
Chenxing clenched his clothes tightly in her fists, holding on for dear life, her heart aching unbearably, yet she dared not ask about that cruel truth. Her mind couldn’t think straight, but she forced herself to fabricate a lie.
"I dreamed that you were in an accident and were going to die. Shaocheng, I’m so scared. Please don’t let anything happen to you, okay?"
