Chapter 745: He Said He Would Never Let Her Down
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“That story is quite elaborate. Keep going,” Shu Pan said, her tone dripping with skepticism. Even a three-year-old wouldn’t believe it.
“I don’t have any immediate proof to convince you, but Panpan, it’s the truth. I haven’t betrayed you,” Gu Shaoting said, his handsome face serious and sincere.
“Maybe I’d believe you more if you lied differently,” Shu Pan’s voice carried a note of desolation.
Gu Shaoting said nothing more. He knew words were useless now; he could only prove himself through actions.
“Panpan, I promised I would never let you down.”
“It’s easy to make promises at the moment, but what about for a lifetime?” Shu Pan took a deep breath.
Her eyes were already slightly moist. She wondered if the persistence she had maintained would ever be reciprocated.
“A lifetime is something I can commit to,” Gu Shaoting said with determination.
Tears glistened in Shu Pan’s eyes, blurring her vision.
All she had ever wanted was a simple, ordinary love. Why was it so hard to find?
“Enough. Let me be alone,” Shu Pan’s voice was truly weary.
“Alright. I’ll finish up here and return soon. It won’t be long,” Gu Shaoting said, feeling helpless but knowing he had no choice.
Shu Pan silently hung up the phone.
Gu Shaoting looked at the darkened screen and sighed.
He was about to start the car when he realized the sky had darkened, and it had started to rain.
What miserable weather, matching his mood.
The rain started as a fine drizzle but quickly turned into a steady downpour. The windshield wipers struggled to keep up, and visibility was poor.
Suddenly, his phone buzzed. He glanced at it—it was a call from Shu Pan. Was something urgent?
But the call ended as quickly as it began. At a red light, he tried calling her back, but there was no answer.
The car moved slowly through the traffic, his face clouded with worry. Could the rain be affecting the signal?
He turned the car towards the curb.
Ignoring the heavy rain, he opened the door and ran to the side, dialing her number twice more, but still no answer.
Strange. She had just called. Could she be in danger?
His heart started to race, and he paced in frustration.
As the rain poured harder, he returned to the car, took off his wet jacket, and felt a chill. The rain had soaked through to his shirt.
Fortunately, he had a spare jacket in the car. After changing, he started the engine.
The rain was now a deluge, headlights from oncoming cars blinding him, forcing his eyes to squint.
A car honked loudly and sped past him.
Distracted for a moment, he snapped back to attention only to see a large, dark object looming ahead, moving towards him.
“Oh, no…” Gu Shaoting exclaimed.
There was no time to react. The windshield cracked, then shattered into a shower of glass shards. He ducked, trying to protect himself, but his leg was pinned, unable to move. At the same time, he felt a warm, wet sensation spreading over his body.
He reached for his phone with trembling hands and managed to find Secretary Zhang’s number, using all his strength to bring the phone to his ear.
“Mr. Gu…” Secretary Zhang answered quickly.
“Help… car accident… I’ll send you my location… Don’t tell Shu Pan,” he managed to say before everything went black. The world became an abyss, and his body felt like a leaf, gently falling into the darkness.
