Chapter 881 - 884: Many Ominous Signs, Right?
"Otherwise, I’ll be displeased—do you hear me clearly?"
She obediently nodded her head cutely.
Only then did Gu Shaocheng’s countenance fully soften. He leaned over and kissed her cheek, his fingers intertwining with her hair to deepen the kiss, "That’s my good girl, focus all your attention on me."
"Shaocheng, I’m driving."
If her focus were all on him, they’d have an accident.
He chuckled, a hint of mischief in his laughter, and let her go.
"Alright, I won’t make it difficult for you. Concentrate on driving; when we get home, I’ll deal with you."
Gu Shaocheng appeared like a Hunter lying in wait to seize his prey, lounging lazily in the passenger seat. But upon arriving at their doorstep, the man eager for a full feast did not get his wish—there were several people already waiting for them.
As soon as the car stopped, those people immediately approached.
Gu Shaocheng’s mood was soured, inwardly complaining—why were there always people bothering him no matter where he stayed? Couldn’t they all just vanish from his world and give him some peace?
"Go on up," he whispered into her ear, nipping playfully, "Get yourself cleaned up, strip, and wait for me."
Chenxing shyly pushed him away and went straight inside.
She had just opened the bedroom door when she heard the car starting up. Walking out to the balcony, she pushed the door open and saw from a distance that the car, including her beloved man Gu Shaocheng, had already left.
Chenxing collapsed softly onto the tatami mat with a thud, lying there and gazing up at the clear blue sky. Her vision began to blur; despite the heat of summer, all she felt was the bone-chilling cold breeze.
Turning her head, she curled up, hugging the adorable stuffed animal.
Yet no matter what, she simply couldn’t pretend as if nothing had happened.
Shaocheng, he...
How did he manage it, to remain so calm and detached despite contracting such a serious illness?
Was it that he hid it too well, or was she simply too careless?
She had never noticed any sign.
No, that’s not right.
There were many signs, weren’t there?
Thinking back on the past, rewinding scene by scene, she picked out the emotions she had ignored, one by one.
On Valentine’s Day, right before leaving for the Maldives, he suddenly embraced her in the bedroom. He clearly cried, yet claimed it was just the wind irritating his eyes.
Now, she finally understood why he cried then!
His fingers were so tightly clenched they were bloodied... Chenxing harshly tapped her own head, criticizing her carelessness. She had taken his words at face value, but surely he must have only just learned of his illness. Unable to bear such a blow, that must be why he was in such distress and why his temper flared. How did she fail to realize it back then?
They even had an argument in the Maldives while he was ill. He had asked her, "Chenxing, if I can no longer hold you, will you still love me?"
...
Since then, he became quick-tempered; first, he neglected her for a month, then found some excuse to break up with her... Chenxing’s thoughts became clearer and clearer. Yes, he just picked a petty reason to have a big fight and break up with her, right?
Otherwise, why wouldn’t he listen to her? She hadn’t had an abortion, yet he stubbornly abandoned her, so heartlessly.
Thinking back on everything, she now understood that he was pushing her away because of his illness.
Chenxing covered her face with her hands as tears moistened her eyes.
