Chapter 192 For my wife, I'd throw away all pride.

The entire room was deathly silent.

"What did you say?"

Fu Beichen's voice was frighteningly dry. He seemed not to have heard clearly, or perhaps he couldn't believe it, and stubbornly asked again.

Lu Qinglin met his shocked gaze and clearly delivered every word into his ears.

“I said, you’ve repaid the wrong favor.”

"The person who actually jumped into the sea to save you, and almost lost his own life, was Gu Xingnian."

Fu Beichen's pupils contracted sharply, and he froze on the spot.

It was as if he had heard something out of the universe; every word seemed to crash against his eardrums, yet he couldn't piece together a sentence he could understand.

"impossible."

His voice was frighteningly dry, and his Adam's apple bobbed.

“Niannian is afraid of water; she doesn’t even dare to go into a swimming pool. How could she possibly…jump into the sea to save me?”

Lu Qinglin exhaled the last puff of smoke, stubbed out the cigarette butt hard in the ashtray, and extinguished the crimson glow.

He raised his eyes, his sharp gaze fixed on Fu Beichen's face.

"This is another truth I'm going to tell you today."

"Four years ago, when Gu Xingnian was saving you, she was attacked by a shark in the sea."

"She was in a coma for a long time and almost became a vegetable. After waking up, she suffered severe psychological trauma, which is why she is afraid of water. She underwent psychological treatment for a full six months."

These words were like a thunderclap, exploding in the minds of Fu Beichen and Lin Qi.

The whole world fell silent.

All that remained was a sharp ringing in my ears.

Fu Beichen's mind was suddenly filled with images of the day of Ma Duli's wedding.

She was drunk, her cheeks flushed, and she leaned close to his ear, babbling incoherently with the smell of alcohol on her breath.

“Fu Beichen, I know… many of your… secrets. I also have a… big secret… to tell you.”

He smiled indulgently and asked in a low voice.

"What secret, hmm?"

"Do you remember that...great shark? You were going to be eaten, and I...I pulled you...up."

So that's how it is.

It turns out that what she was talking about was her personal experience.

He dismissed it as her drunken ramblings and didn't take it to heart at all.

Lu Qinglin's voice rang out again, cold and clear, like a scalpel dissecting the bloody reality.

“We interviewed several crew members on the ship at the time, and they all said that when Lu Lie finally rescued Gu Xingnian, her hands were covered in blood and she had already fainted.”

"Everyone thought she was bitten by a shark, but that wasn't the case."

Lu Qinglin paused, emphasizing each word.

"She pushed you to the surface of the sea with all her might, then cut herself with a hairpin, using her own blood to lure the shark in another direction."

"She risked her own life to save you."

"Bang!" The chair next to Fu Beichen's feet was knocked over by him, making a loud noise.

He could no longer stand; all the strength in his body was instantly drained away.

My heart felt like it was being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, the pain was so intense I couldn't breathe.

It turns out that four years ago, he almost killed her.

He was completely broken down; his defenses crumbled inch by inch.

Finally, Lin Qi, who had been silent all along, spoke with difficulty, his voice filled with doubt.

"Then... what about Jiang Kexin jumping into the sea to save people?"

Lu Qinglin lit another cigarette, but didn't smoke it; he just held it between his fingers.

She glanced at Fu Beichen again before slowly speaking.

"At that time, you had already lost consciousness and your body was sinking. When Gu Xingnian dived to your side, you were already forty meters below the sea level."

"She pulled you up without any regard for the consequences."

"Just as you were about to reach the surface, she went to distract the shark, which gave Jiang Kexin on the surface a chance to 'pick you up' and bring you back to the boat."

"What happened next was only natural; Jiang Kexin became your savior."

"I even did some research, and Jiang Kexin can't dive, so it's impossible for her to dive 40 meters underwater."

"Do you know how much courage and physical strength it takes to pull an unconscious adult man up from that depth?"

"I guess Gu Xingnian was willing to risk her own life at that time."

"I've sent you the information about her hospitalization and psychotherapy at the time; that's the truth!"

Lu Qinglin patted Fu Beichen on the shoulder.

At this moment, the recurring dream in Fu Beichen's mind became incredibly clear.

Endless darkness, icy seawater.

He kept sinking, sinking...

A figure swam desperately toward him, piercing through the deathly still blue.

So it turns out... it was his longing.

The person who gave him hope in his despair was her from beginning to end.

But he repaid the favor in the wrong way, spoiling Jiang Kexin for four years while neglecting her for three years in their marriage.

His body trembled slightly uncontrollably.

Shock, ecstasy, overwhelming guilt... all these emotions surged like a tsunami, instantly engulfing him.

He couldn't stay here for another second.

He turned around abruptly and strode out.

He wanted to see her.

He desperately wants to see her now.

...

The afternoon sun was shining brightly on the balcony of the Sheng family mansion.

Sheng Weiwei was so shocked that her mouth opened into an "O" shape.

"So, Jiang Kexin stole your credit?"

"All these years, she's only received all of Fu Beichen's favor and resources because she's known as your savior?"

This plot is just too melodramatic.

Gu Xingnian nodded.

Her senior brother told her everything that happened at the beach that day.

She then realized why Fu Beichen had shown mercy to Jiang Kexin time and time again, and had never been able to truly kill her.

Sheng Weiwei stomped her feet in anger.

"That's outrageous!"

"I've seen people steal husbands and boyfriends, but I've never seen anyone steal the identity of their savior!"

"She's been taking advantage of your kindness for so many years, doesn't she feel even a little guilty?"

She was furious and patted Gu Xingnian on the shoulder, filled with righteous indignation.

"It's alright, Niannian, we must avenge this!"

"Let's choose that highly anticipated family reunion banquet, and publicly skin her alive. It'll definitely be a spectacle!"

Gu Xingnian lowered her eyes and said softly.

"I also want to go to the capital to see that old man."

"I think we should be able to find some clues about my identity."

Sheng Weiwei put her arm around her shoulder. "Okay, I'll go with you."

The eldest daughter of the Bai family, she'll turn her into the black one!

As soon as he finished speaking, a familiar black Rolls-Royce Phantom slowly came to a stop outside the mansion.

The car door opened, and Fu Beichen stepped out with his long legs.

He subconsciously looked up and immediately saw Gu Xingnian and Sheng Weiwei standing on the second-floor balcony.

Gu Xingnian's eyes darkened instantly. She turned and walked into the room, not even bothering to give him a second glance.

It was obvious she didn't want to see him.

Fu Beichen stood still, took out a cigarette case from his pocket, and lit a cigarette.

He took a deep breath and slowly exhaled white smoke rings, the smoke blurring his deep-set eyes and brows.

He had a lot to say to her.

A thousand words are stuck in my throat.

But he knew she was still angry.

He flicked the cigarette between his fingers, steeled his resolve, and decided that once things were settled in the capital, he would propose to her and then explain everything to her in detail.

This time, he will spend his whole life repaying her kindness.

She should never leave him in this lifetime.

Shortly after, another car arrived.

Lin Qi got out of the car carrying robot 001, followed by two bodyguards carrying computers.

He saw Fu Beichen, walked over and greeted him.

Then, they walked openly and honestly into the Sheng residence.

Fu Beichen watched his retreating figure, then suddenly threw away his cigarette butt, took a few steps forward, snatched a mouse from a bodyguard, and strode inside.

These days, you have to be shameless to even see your wife.

Lin Qi walked ahead, and when he heard footsteps behind him, he couldn't help but smile.

Lin Qi: I never imagined that one day, the famous President Fu would be the little brother following behind me.

Cool!

The servants respectfully led them to the study.

Lin Qi had someone put the things down and then spoke to Gu Xingnian.

"Madam, you've been granted access to the computer. 001 is downstairs playing with Miss Sheng."

Gu Xingnian said softly, "Thank you."

Lin Qi added, "Madam, please call me anytime if you have any questions."

"good."

After receiving a reply, Lin Qi left with two bodyguards.

Gu Xingnian turned on the computer, ready to start using it.

“Clatter.”

The study door behind me was suddenly closed.

Immediately afterwards, a familiar, tall figure emerged from behind the heavy curtains.

Gu Xingnian was stunned for a moment. Looking at the handsome face in front of her, her anger suddenly flared up.

"Mr. Fu, when did you switch careers to become a petty thief?"

His eyes burned with passion as he strode over and, without a word, pulled her into a tight embrace.

"Niannian, I miss you so much."

The familiar and pleasant scent of fir trees emanating from him instantly enveloped her.

Gu Xingnian tried to push him away, but she couldn't budge him at all.

"Fu Beichen, get out! Or I'll call for help!"

The tenderness in his eyes was almost overflowing. When he thought of how she had risked her life to jump into the icy sea to save him, his heart felt like it was being gripped tightly by a large hand. Regret and heartache almost overwhelmed him.

He stared intently at her, his voice hoarse.

"Niannian, I'm sorry."

"My love came too late, and you have suffered so much."

Gu Xingnian was taken aback.

Immediately, the fire in my heart burned even brighter.

"Get out! I don't want to see you right now!"

Fu Beichen, however, spoke in a gentle and almost pleading tone.

"Niannian, I was wrong, please forgive me."

Gu Xingnian was almost laughing in exasperation at him.

"Fu Beichen, do you think the wounds you've suffered can be so easily healed? You're thinking too much..."

Before she could even utter the word "beautiful," he sealed her lips with a kiss.

"Ugh..." Gu Xingnian struggled for a moment.

His kiss was passionate, domineering, and irresistible.

Unable to refuse, she steeled herself and bit his lips hard.

He grunted and finally released her.

A striking red hue seeped from her sensual, thin lips.

He stretched out his finger and casually wiped the blood from his lips.

"Little rabbit, still biting?" He wasn't angry; his tone even carried a damn doting tone.

Gu Xingnian shouted again, "Fu Beichen, get out of here!"

Fu Beichen, however, used his strength to pick her up and place her on the large desk.

His hands wrapped tightly around her slender waist to prevent her from falling.

He then curled the corners of his lips into a smile.

"Do you remember that time in Maduri?"

"If you don't forgive me, I'll kiss you until you do."

After saying that, he moved closer to her again.

Gu Xingnian was startled and quickly dodged, shouting, "Fu Beichen, have you no shame?"

His eyes gleamed with amusement. "For my wife, I can give it all up."

As soon as he finished speaking, his domineering kiss came again, conquering and swarming Gu Xingnian until she could hardly breathe. Her little hands kept hitting him.

Fu Beichen didn't stop, he increased the pressure even more, feeling that the overthrow of the kingdom was within reach...

Suddenly, with a loud "bang," the study door was pushed open.

An electronic speaker filled the entire room.

"Two heat sources detected in the study! An intruder has entered! Sister Gu is in danger!"

Fu Beichen paused, turned around, and his face instantly turned as black as charcoal.

Little D, along with the entire Sheng family, stood outside the door, including that ugly gray cat...
