Chapter 114 Niannian, how can you forgive me?

When Gu Xingnian saw him, she felt a strange sense of tension.

"I'm sorry, I'm not very good at it." Her throat was a little tight.

He smiled and said, "Relax, I'll teach you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he stepped forward, put one arm around her waist, and took her right hand in his other hand. His palm was very warm!

Their bodies pressed together instantly, and Gu Xingnian froze.

"Follow my steps, don't be nervous, relax your body." His voice whispered in her ear, his warm breath brushing against her cheek.

She smelled a faint scent of pine on him, mixed with a hint of tobacco, which was surprisingly pleasant.

Under his guidance, she gradually relaxed and her steps followed his rhythm. His dance steps were steady, allowing her to move effortlessly through the crowd.

She looked up at him, her features obscured by the blindfold, but the feeling of familiarity grew stronger and stronger.

The absurd thought in her mind grew wildly like weeds: How could this man... look so much like him?

Mr. Chen's gaze was fixed on her blushing face. He smelled the fragrance of her hair and was momentarily lost in thought. This was his first dance with her, and he never imagined it would be so...beautiful.

He moved closer and closer until he almost pulled her into his arms.

Gu Xingnian sensed this excessive intimacy and her heart started racing. "I'm sorry, I'm a little tired."

She pushed him away abruptly.

Mr. Chen stopped dancing, stood still, looked at her, and his face was full of apology.

"I'm sorry, I was rude just now." His voice returned to its normal volume, still magnetic, but with less of a suppressed tone.

"Today is the Food Offering Festival. Why don't you tell me your wish, Miss, and I'll grant it for you? Consider it my apology for my rudeness earlier!" His tone was playful, and he sounded a bit arrogant.

Gu Xingnian looked at him and thought this man was incredibly arrogant, so she just sneered.

“Then conjure up a real phoenix.” She raised her chin and pointed to the huge chocolate phoenix sculpture, “so that everyone can see its majestic appearance.”

"Sure." The man smiled confidently. "If I were to conjure it up, could you give me a kiss?"

Gu Xingnian choked up for a moment, and then, remembering the man in black that night, she couldn't help but take a step back!

He raised his hand and pointed in a direction to the northwest, "It will fly out from there in a moment."

In just ten seconds, a colorful "phoenix" slowly flew out of the night sky. It was huge, with outstretched wings, and shone brightly in the night. It looked very real and didn't look like a kite.

Everyone was stunned. People on the dance floor stopped dancing and stared at the giant phoenix.

"Look! It's a phoenix!"

"My God! It really is a divine phoenix!"

Exclamations of surprise rose and fell.

Gu Xingnian was also stunned. How could this be? It was clearly just a kite... so why was he prepared for it all along?

The "phoenix" circled twice in the air before suddenly disintegrating.

It turned into a tiny mass, which fluttered down from the sky, and the crowd cheered as they caught it.

Gu Xingnian subconsciously looked up, reached out her hand, and a pink object floated lightly into her palm.

She spread her hands.

It was a small, pink paper airplane.

Her heart skipped a beat.

She looked up at the sky, and what was flying and scattering everywhere were none other than paper airplanes.

Densely packed, in all sorts of colors... like a sudden rain of paper airplanes.

Her eyes instantly reddened, and she stood there dumbfounded.

Seeing her trembling slightly, he could no longer restrain himself. He stepped forward, cupped her small mouth, and kissed her slightly parted red lips. A long-lost bliss washed over him.

Her heart was pounding violently; this familiar feeling was so familiar that it pierced her heart.

Suddenly, she pushed him away with such force that he staggered.

"Mr. Chen, please have some self-respect!" Her voice was sharp, unwilling to expose him, yet carrying a hint of barely perceptible hoarseness and panic.

She turned around and was about to run away.

He grabbed her wrist tightly, his grip so firm she couldn't break free.

"I'm sorry, I just now... Don't go!" His voice was low and filled with obvious apology.

Gu Xingnian forcefully shook off his hand, turned around, her back to him, and gasped for breath. She dared not stay in this place any longer.

A voice sounded behind her. It was no longer Mr. Chen's deep, magnetic tone, but a voice she knew all too well.

"Xing'er, don't you want your little brother anymore?"

Her blood froze, and she stood rooted to the spot.

He called out again from behind, his voice filled with pain, caution, and endless longing and guilt.

"Xing'er, I'm sorry."

"I was in a car accident before... I was in a car accident."

Then, I forgot you, and forgot everything else.

His words were like a dull knife, cutting into her heart again and again.

She stopped in her tracks, her body trembling violently.

That title.

Xing'er!

“I broke my promise and didn’t go back to pick you up. Later, you came to Haicheng to look for me, and I lost you for twelve years.”

"A full twelve years!"

"Can you forgive me, little brother? Xing'er... Xing'er, can you come back to me?"

The desperate cries still echoed in her ears, tearing at her nerves and leaving her struggling on the edge of love and pain.

It turns out that he forgot her after the car accident, rather than being inherently heartless!

Just then, a huge explosion occurred in the clock tower of the square, shattering her emotional attachment.

Debris flew down, the square descended into chaos, and people scattered in all directions amidst screams.

Fu Beichen rushed forward immediately, shielded her in his arms, and led her away from the danger zone.

"Are you hurt?" His deep eyes were filled with tension as he carefully checked her for injuries. His voice was tense, revealing lingering fear.

Gu Xingnian abruptly turned her head away, avoiding his touch, her voice filled with resistance, "It's none of your business, Fu Beichen, stay away from me!"

Then she let out a chilling laugh.

"Don't do these pointless things again. I told you, I'll never forgive you! Everything I had with my little brother is left in Haicheng. There is no more little brother in this world!"

Fu Beichen was silent for a moment before speaking again, "No, that's not how it is, Niannian, come back with me."

"Fu Beichen, do you think a few donuts and paper airplanes can mend the rift between us? Aren't you being too naive? Or do you still think that God N is worthless in front of you?"

Her tone was calm, but every word she spoke was venomous.

Fu Beichen panicked, "Niannian, tell me, how can I... get you to forgive me?"

Gu Xingnian's eyes were cold and deep, and her lips parted again, "Fu Beichen, listen carefully. I have helped the Fu family through the crisis, which is to repay the life-saving grace from back then. From now on, you and I will have nothing to do with each other."

"I will no longer interfere in your life! And please, get out of my world!"

The word "get lost" was said lightly, yet it weighed on Fu Beichen's heart like thousands of pounds.

The last glimmer of hope on his face faded, leaving only paleness and pain.

Just then, Xia Tang strode over, looking at her with concern, "There's been an invasion by foreign enemies, and they're armed. Are you injured?"

She shook her head, a sharp pain shooting through her palm; she was clutching a pink paper airplane tightly.

Xia Tang said on the phone, "Prepare the private jet," and then left with her.

Fu Beichen watched her as she drifted further and further away from him.

Lin Qi rushed to Fu Beichen's side, "Mr. Fu, are you injured?"

Fu Beichen's eyes were frighteningly cold.

"Who did this?" he asked, enunciating each word with an air of impending doom.

Lynch's expression was grave: "It's probably the Chris family resorting to desperate measures. Our people have already gone to deal with it."

"Clear them all out." Fu Beichen's voice was devoid of any warmth. "Leave no one alive!"

...

midnight.

Gu Xingnian was already on the private jet, flying to another place, gazing at a dark expanse of sea.

In my mind, I keep seeing those paper airplanes flying all over the sky.

And then there's his desperate cry of "Xing'er".

It all felt like a dream. Those paper airplanes filling the sky—if they had flown into her life three months ago… she would have been overjoyed.

But life has no "what ifs," and their life paths never intersected again; the wounds he inflicted on her continue to bleed.

She must not allow anyone to become her weakness until the Alice Plan is completed!

Suddenly, the computer screen flickered.

She turned on her computer and took a look. Her blood boiled instantly, and she clenched her fists tightly.

"Xiao Tang, let's go somewhere first." Her tone was icy.

On the other side, Fu Beichen was also sleepless, his brows still furrowed with lingering irritation.

Not long after, he received a call from Qingzhao.

"President Fu."

On the other end of the phone, Qingzhao's voice sounded somewhat urgent, even a little unsteady.

"explain."

Fu Beichen unbuttoned the top two buttons of his shirt, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and stared at the dark sea.

"Madam, she took that boy named Xia Tang and flew to Beicheng on a private jet!"

Qingzhao finished speaking in one breath, and there was a few seconds of silence on the phone, with only his own slightly heavy breathing.

Fu Beichen's fingers tightened slowly around his phone, his knuckles turning white.

His face instantly turned cold, and the surrounding air seemed to freeze.

Beicheng...

A map flashed through his mind: the border city of F country. From there, he could take a boat out to sea with only one destination—Madouli.

Maduri!

Fu Beichen's heart clenched suddenly, as if gripped tightly by an invisible hand.

That godforsaken place! It's a living hell; one wrong step and you're doomed.

Why did she go to that place?

"Prepare the private jet, we're leaving immediately." He paused, then added, "Contact that madman."

"yes!"

Just then, Lu Qinglin sent an email. Lin Qi checked the email and then nervously picked up the tablet.

"Mr. Fu, this is bad. It turns out that the one who was watching Madam was never the Chris family, but Alvin, the leader of the three villains."

Fu Beichen's pupils contracted as he read the email. "Draw all available forces and head to Maduri."

Saving his wife is of utmost urgency!
