Lv Jing had never seen Mr. Gu this angry before. She had initially intended to feign ignorance, but Mr. Gu’s imposing aura rattled her thoughts. She stamred, "Isn’t Miss An at work? I looked for her today, but she ignored ."
Gu Yikun suddenly reached out and grabbed her chin without warning. He showed no tenderness; Lv Jing felt as if her bones were about to snap. She painfully looked at this cold, emotionless man. Was this still the Mr. Gu she knew?
He hadn’t treated her exceptionally well before, but he had always been a gentleman. Now, everything had changed because of An Junxi!
"I warned you not to provoke her. Listen, if I find out you did anything to An Junxi, I will make you regret it for the rest of your life!"
After saying this, Gu Yikun abruptly let go, causing Lv Jing to fall to the ground in a ss.
She coughed violently a few tis and cried, "Mr. Gu, you promised my sister to take care of . Now, for An Junxi, you don’t even care about my sister’s dying wish? My sister must be turning over in her grave right now!"
A vague yet familiar shadow crossed Gu Yikun’s mind, an image of Xiao Mo waiting for him under the pear tree.
She was always calm and composed, facing any problem with a smile, gently saying to him, "With you by my side, I’m not afraid of anything."
Unfortunately, he wasn’t by her side when the accident happened.
Since she passed away, her figure had repeatedly appeared in his dreams, but recently, those dreams had ceased.
He desperately searched through his mind, and that shadow beca clearer and clearer. It was An Junxi’s serene and gentle face.
He knew Xiao Mo was in the past; now, it was An Junxi by his side.
When he registered to marry her, he never admitted it to himself, but now he could no longer deceive himself.
If anything happened to her or if she faded from his life from now on, how many more nine-year periods would he need to forget her?
No, he couldn’t do it.
Gu Yikun had never been so anxious to see An Junxi. He wanted to hold her and tell her he loved her.
Right, he had never told her he loved her.
He used to think such words didn’t need to be spoken, but now, after suddenly losing track of her, he realized the panic, scared he might never have the chance to say it again.
He couldn’t take any risks; he had to see her imdiately.
Looking at Lv Jing’s resentful eyes, Gu Yikun calmly said, "Your sister has been dead for years. I’ve already moved on. I’ve been more than kind to you these years. Leave the hospital today and go wherever you want."
He always handled things quickly and precisely, and it was the sa with feelings. Now that he was clear about his feelings, Lv Jing could no longer stay at the hospital.
This was not good for Junxi; he couldn’t allow any dangerous elent near her.
Lv Jing’s world collapsed. She cried as she humbly grabbed Gu Yikun’s pants, begging, "Mr. Gu, I won’t bother An Junxi again. Please don’t make leave. I’ve been at the hospital for almost eight years. Now my parents and sister are gone. Where can I go?"
Gu Yikun didn’t soften at all, "You didn’t take my warning seriously, and this is the price."
After saying this, he turned and left without a mont of hesitation or another glance.
She looked at his heartless back, and the hatred in her heart grew deeper.
"An Junxi, why don’t you just die?"
The station announcent woke An Junxi from her dream. The conductor ca over to remind her, "Miss, your ticket is for Yicheng. Please make sure not to miss your stop."
"Okay, thank you."
An Junxi woke Gong Xiaoyu, "Senior, we’ve arrived. Where do you want to go?"
Gong Xiaoyu, like a wandering soul, walked out of the high-speed rail station holding An Junxi’s hand. She said, "Junxi, let’s go to your ho. A few more hours by bus and we should be there." She missed the quiet courtyard of Junxi’s ho and Aunt Gong’s hearty smile.
"Senior, do Aunt Gong and Uncle Gong know where you’re going? And our colleagues? We just disappeared without a word; they must be worried sick! And Mr. Gu, he’ll be anxious if he can’t find !"
An Junxi forcibly took the phone from Gong Xiaoyu’s bag. Gong Xiaoyu let her take it and wandered onto the road like a lifeless zombie.
Cars were speeding by on the road, and An Junxi broke into a cold sweat. She couldn’t make a call and hurried to grab Gong Xiaoyu’s hand, "Senior, are you crazy? You’re carrying a baby now. For the sake of the baby, you can’t go on like this!"
Gong Xiaoyu looked at An Junxi with blank eyes, lacking focus. She said, "Let’s go catch the bus to your house."
An Junxi had no choice. She couldn’t let go of Gong Xiaoyu’s hand for even a mont. They had to head to her house first.
She saw the bus station nearby and bought two tickets ho at the self-service ticket machine.
Their bus was about to depart, An Junxi supported Gong Xiaoyu to board the bus. As Gong Xiaoyu stepped onto the bus, the sll of the air conditioning made her rush to the side to retch.
An Junxi patted her back, feeling terrible seeing her senior suffer so much.
What had Gong Xiaoyu been through recently?
Unable to vomit, Gong Xiaoyu felt terribly uncomfortable and was reluctant to get back on the bus.
So An Junxi used her phone to book a ride service. The ride had no sll, which wouldn’t make Gong Xiaoyu feel so sick.
They soon got into the ride, and as it drove along the highway, An Junxi finally had ti to turn on her phone and make a call.
As soon as she powered on her phone, she saw over seventy missed calls, most of them from Gu Yikun.
An Junxi hurriedly called him back. The phone rang only once before it was picked up. Gu Yikun’s voice, slightly uneven, anxiously asked, "Junxi, where are you? Did sothing happen? I’m coming to get you now."
An Junxi glanced at Gong Xiaoyu beside her and said, "Yi Ke, I’m on my way ho."
Gu Yikun’s heart finally settled. He said, "Then I’m heading back now. Wait for at ho." Hearing her voice brought him peace.
"No, Yi Ke, I’m returning to my hotown, Xin’an."
Gu Yikun’s heart tensed again, "Why suddenly go back ho? Did sothing happen to your parents?"
An Junxi wasn’t sure about the situation between Gong Xiaoyu and Yue Xiaoyang yet. She didn’t dare to reveal Gong Xiaoyu’s pregnancy, so she used an excuse, "My mother suddenly called , asking to return. I feared there might be an ergency at ho, so I ca back without notifying you."
Gu Yikun felt like giving her a good scolding. He gritted his teeth and said, "An Junxi, I’m your husband. How could you not tell about an ergency at ho and just go back alone? Do you know how worried I was?"
An Junxi could hear the concern and displeasure in Gu Yikun’s tone, so she tried to comfort him, "My mind was a ss, Yi Ke. My phone just got charged. I’m sorry."
Gu Yikun couldn’t bear to bla her anymore, as long as she was safe.
He asked, "Where are you now, and when will you get ho?"
"It might be around nine or ten in the evening."
Gu Yikun still wasn’t at ease, "Make sure to stay safe. What kind of transport are you using? I’ll have the regional branch manager et you, and they should be able to get to Xin’an County to pick you up."
An Junxi hastily replied, "That’s not necessary, I’m in a ride service."
