The Reigning Star: Tycoon's Exclusive Obsession-Chapter 748 - 746: Pretending to Be Crazy and Playing Dumb
Gu Xiyao trembled all over. He knows?
Of course, how could he not know!
Only two seconds passed, and Gu Xiyao didn’t know where she summoned the strength to fling his hand away, then wrapped herself tightly in the quilt, "You know, Little Uncle, you know everything? You know and that’s why you’re disgusted with me, right? So that’s why on New Year’s Eve I called and texted you, but you wouldn’t respond, right?"
"Xi Yao, calm down! I only found out today too, you need to tell me first..."
"Ah!" Gu Xiyao screamed while covering her ears, "Don’t say any more, I don’t want to hear it, I don’t want to hear it! All of you get out, all of you get out!"
Her emotions took a turn again, and it wasn’t until Lu Beichen left with Tong Ji Yang and she received another tranquilizing injection that Gu Xiyao’s emotions calmed down.
"Mr. Lu, you better not agitate Miss Gu again, just now when she woke up she was fine, the doctor said her emotions are unstable and she can’t be further provoked." The nurse’s voice grew smaller, afraid of offending the man in front of her. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
"I understand!" Lu Beichen said lightly.
Tong Ji Yang finally snapped back to reality, "Heavens, how did Gu Xiyao become like this, she always had that refined socialite demeanor before, I thought she was very fake, but now... Damn it, has Ning Zesheng still not figured out who did it? Looks like I’ll have to do it myself!"
He sighed, "Brother Beichen, I won’t tell you more, I’ll go investigate now!"
When Lu Beichen returned home, it was already very late, Ji Niandong had been waiting for him at home, and as soon as she saw him, she went over to ask, "Is Miss Gu doing any better?"
Lu Beichen reached out and held her tightly in his arms, "I’m sorry, Tongtong!"
He hadn’t mentioned anything yet, and Gu Xiyao could already be so affected. Then, what about her back then?
"Why are you saying sorry to me?" Ji Niandong’s heart grew increasingly uneasy.
Lu Beichen swallowed and said hoarsely, "Back then, I should have held back, even if you came close, I shouldn’t have let my guard down. Tongtong, now I’m so thankful that when we went to Paris, you didn’t regain your memory. Seeing Xi Yao like this now, I deeply realize how helpless you must have felt back then, during that time when you disappeared, what did you go through? If only I had known earlier, when you came to find me later, I couldn’t possibly have treated you like that! You must have gathered so much courage to come find me."
His voice was low and hoarse, filled with deep guilt and sorrow.
Listening to him, Ji Niandong couldn’t help but feel her eyes go red as she gently patted his back, "It’s okay, husband, everything from the past has passed. Even if I was indeed scared and helpless then and had nightmares afterwards, it’s all in the past. It’s no big deal, I don’t have to recover those memories, right?"
She had never seen Lu Beichen like this. It seemed his pride and arrogance were slowly worn down because of her. If those past times were so brutal and unbearable, then maybe she shouldn’t try to recover them. Let those empty places be filled in the future, right?
Lu Beichen sighed deeply, holding her even tighter, "In the future, no matter what, I won’t let you suffer any harm again."
"I know, I believe you will!" Ji Niandong soothed the guilt in his heart, knowing that if this matter isn’t resolved, it might always be the knot in their hearts, resurfacing occasionally to provoke their nerves.
"Husband, let’s go downstairs for dinner, Nian Nian and the others are still waiting, let’s not worry them."
Lu Beichen chuckled, finally releasing her and pinching her nose lightly, "It seems like I’m a child now, you’re comforting me."
"Didn’t you say that every man has a child living in his heart that only the person he loves the most can see? Of course, I need to comfort you!" she playfully lightened the mood.
Lu Beichen was amused by her, shook his head, and embraced her as they went downstairs.
