Chapter 215 This life ends here.

Gu Xingnian was stunned, and an uncontrollable anger burst out from her mouth.

"Fu Beichen, what nonsense are you talking about? This is your child!"

"I have never had physical intimacy with any other man besides you!"

Fu Beichen smiled.

That smile was filled with venomous coldness and disdain.

"Gu Xingnian, how long are you going to keep lying to me?"

"In Maduri, you spent two nights alone with Lu Lie. Do you remember when you came back that day, covered in ambiguous marks?"

He pressed closer, his eyes like knives.

"This child was conceived around that time."

"The timing is perfect."

Gu Xingnian was so angry she almost laughed. What was he thinking?

"Fu Beichen, let's get a paternity test done."

“I will show you the facts and tell you whose child I am carrying.”

Fu Beichen suddenly tossed a crumpled paper report out of his suit pocket.

*Smack*

The document slammed onto the table with a soft, yet heavy, sound.

"It's been done, and the evidence is irrefutable."

Gu Xingnian picked up the report, her fingertips feeling a little cold.

She opened it, looked at the conclusion, and sneered.

"Fu Beichen, if I said this report is fake, you probably wouldn't believe me, would you?"

"Jiang Kexin is already in jail, so who else would want to harm you?" That was his conclusion.

Fu Beichen never doubted the authenticity of the report; he only felt ashamed.

His dignity as a man was shattered.

The woman he loved most was pregnant with another man's child.

Gu Xingnian clutched the thin piece of paper tightly; every word on it felt like a needle pricking her eyes.

She suddenly understood.

"So, you didn't want this child when you were in the capital."

"Back then, you suspected that this wasn't your child, right?"

“You never believed me; you sentenced me to death from the very beginning.”

He remained silent, but his Adam's apple bobbed, which was taken as tacit agreement.

Gu Xingnian's tears suddenly fell, landing on the back of her hand; they were scalding hot.

At that moment, she suddenly became fully awake.

It turns out their love was so shallow; they were just pretending to love each other deeply.

She sniffed, her voice slightly hoarse and broken.

"Fu Beichen, you said that no matter what happens, no matter what I say, you will trust me unconditionally."

Does this statement still hold true?

He finally spoke, his words as cold as ice.

"Niannian, abort this child, and we can start over."

"I can let bygones be bygones, and I will love you as before."

Gu Xingnian's heart felt like it was being cut repeatedly by a dull knife, bleeding profusely.

"Fu Beichen, do you even know what love is?"

“I guess you don’t understand, because you don’t even have the most basic trust in your wife.”

"Your love may seem noble, but in reality, it's worthless."

After saying that, she turned to leave; the air here was so bad it made her feel suffocated.

A large hand suddenly gripped her wrist with terrifying force.

He said firmly, "I will not let you give birth to Lu Lie's child."

She forcefully shook him off, as if using all her strength, and shouted uncontrollably.

"Fu Beichen, listen up!"

"I'll say it again, this isn't Lu Lie's child!"

"He's inside me now, and I decide how to handle him. You have no right to interfere!"

She was such a delicate person, yet she was forced to become prickly and broken.

He stared at her coldly, his jawline taut; there was no way he would let her leave like this.

"Drink your medicine, and we'll start over."

She laughed, but her tears fell freely.

“Fu Beichen, you could easily forgive Jiang Kexin when she hurt me time and time again. But now I don’t even have the chance to redo the paternity test.”

"This is the difference between loving for four years and loving for four months. The crack is too big, and your love is too little to fill it."

Fu Beichen felt a pang of pain in his heart as he looked at her tear-streaked face.

He reached out his large, bony hand, wanting to wipe away her tears.

Gu Xingnian suddenly dodged away, "Don't touch me!"

Fu Beichen's heart softened, and he felt like it was about to break from the pain.

He suddenly said in a low voice, as if coaxing her, "Let's get tested again."

“But I don’t want to be humiliated by you a second time.” Gu Xingnian looked at him, her eyes empty. “From the moment you chose to do this psychiatric evaluation, your love… has already rotted.”

“Fu Beichen, this child really has nothing to do with you.”

From then on, he belonged to her alone.

She admitted it.

She turned to leave, not wanting to stay there for even a second longer.

Boom—!

Suddenly, a thunderclap boomed outside, and a bolt of lightning, shaped like a tree branch, instantly ripped the dark sky apart.

A storm is coming.

Fu Beichen grabbed her again, his eyes filled with unwavering stubbornness.

There's no turning back now.

He softened his voice, his tone pleading, "Niannian, give up this child. Let's start over. I can forgive and forget everything from the past."

He was determined to make her take this medicine and to make her abort the child.

If she doesn't drink, she probably won't be able to leave this room today.

Gu Xingnian turned around and smiled again, a sorrowful smile.

"Fu Beichen, I don't need your forgiveness. Are you sure you want me to drink this medicine?"

Are you willing to take responsibility for your mistakes?

He looked at her intently, his attitude resolute, "Niannian, this child is a thorn in my heart, remove it!"

He told her to pull out the thorns, but instead he stabbed her with a knife...

She stared intently at him, tears streaming down her face like pearls... endlessly.

Finally, with trembling hands, she reached out, picked up the bowl of black liquid that had gone cold on the table, and tilted her head back to pour it into her mouth.

His heart tightened, and he suddenly rushed forward, snatched the medicine bowl, and smashed it on the ground!

Clang!

The black liquid spilled all over the ground, like the rotten, blackened blood on his back—extremely poisonous and incurable.

He didn't know why he was robbing; all he knew was that at that moment, his heart was breaking.

She turned and left; she no longer wanted to stay in this place.

She didn't want the lily anymore, and she didn't want this man either...

Fu Beichen hugged her tightly from behind, his burning chest pressed against her cold back.

"Niannian, don't go."

She pushed him away forcefully, her cold eyes filled with hatred.

"Fu Beichen, have you considered that there is no blood of mine in the hospital? What you are about to take away today may not only be the child's life, but also my life."

Fu Beichen's pupils dilated in fright, and he was completely stunned.

He hadn't really considered that issue; the words of the doctor from Maduri suddenly exploded in his mind.

If there is severe bleeding during childbirth, it could be life-threatening, and even a miscarriage could result in severe bleeding.

At that moment, he was so frightened that his whole body trembled and his blood ran cold.

She took a deep breath and looked at him in despair, "Fu Beichen, let's end this life here."

He turned and left.

Fu Beichen rushed forward and picked her up in his arms. His voice trembled slightly as he said, "Niannian, don't leave me."

Gu Xingnian broke down again, struggling fiercely in his arms, punching and kicking.

"Fu Beichen, let go of me! Don't touch me!"

"I don't want to see you, let me go..."

"I...I don't want to love you anymore, let me go..."

At that moment, she was in tears, crying like a madwoman.

The immense pain overwhelmed her, causing her to lose her reason.

Suddenly, a warm liquid flowed out from under her.

The stain quickly turned his white shirt on his forearm and his large hand red; the red was shocking.

Gu Xingnian's crying stopped abruptly, her face contorted with pain, as she felt that warm blood once again.

Scalding hot, and flowing endlessly...

Just then, Bai Yu rushed in.

Seeing this, his eyes turned bloodshot as he roared, "Fu Beichen, let her go! Get out of my way!"

That's right, it was Gu Xingnian who notified Bai Yu immediately when she discovered the problem with the medicine.

Bai Yu also noticed the blood on her lower body. He immediately took off his suit jacket and wrapped it tightly around her thin body. Then he grabbed her and ran outside with her in his arms.

Gu Xingnian leaned weakly against his chest. Because he was running so fast, she felt the whole sky shaking violently.

Large raindrops pelted her face, cold and stinging.

"Brother... save my child... please..."

Bai Yu's heart ached so much it felt like it was about to break; his voice was trembling.

"Xixi, don't be afraid, everything will be alright, trust me."

Fu Beichen looked at the warm, sticky blood on his sleeves and hands, and collapsed onto the cold ground.

My heart is being consumed by immense fear. Why is this happening? I didn't drink the medicine.

"Nian Nian..."

Suddenly, he frantically scrambled to his feet and staggered after them.

...

The sky over Haicheng has leaked.

The torrential rain pounded down on every inch of Haicheng, as if trying to completely submerge the city.

In Nianxin Pavilion Garden, the carefully nurtured lilies were battered and broken by the storm, their pure white petals crushed in the mud, scattered and fragmented.

A special plane broke through the rain and soared into the sky.

Bai Yu used his official power, which he never showed to others, to open a green channel for her.

The private jet will take her to a secret hospital that can't even be found on a map.

If I stay in Haicheng, Fu Beichen will definitely keep bothering me.

He can't afford to gamble.

In the end, Fu Beichen failed to catch up with the plane.

Before he could even catch his breath, he was met head-on with Fu Shihong's overwhelming rage and cold-blooded family discipline.

The butler knew that things were completely out of control, so he immediately informed the old master.

Fu Family Ancestral Hall.

The incense smoke curled around, but it couldn't mask the damp chill and bloody stench in the air.

Fu Beichen knelt upright on the cold bluestone slab, his upper body bare.

His broad back, where the muscle lines were originally smooth and full of power, was now covered with whip marks of varying depths, the skin torn and blood slowly dripping down the taut muscles, soaking the waistline of his trousers.

He seemed not to feel any pain.

His jawline was taut, and he didn't utter a word.

I knelt like that all night.

The next day, the heavy wooden door of the ancestral hall was suddenly kicked open.

Fu Shihong walked in, wanting to hear his confession in person.

Unexpectedly, Lin Qi stumbled in, his face drained of color, his lips trembling, bringing devastating news.

"President Fu..."

Lin Qi's voice was trembling uncontrollably.

"The Bai family's lawyer has arrived."

He was clutching a document in his hand, the edges of which were soaked with cold sweat from his palms.

"The divorce papers have been delivered."

The ancestral hall was deathly silent.

Lin Qi didn't dare to look up, and almost cried as he said the second half of his sentence.

"They also said...Miss Bai...she..."

"It's possible... we can't save the baby."

"Moreover, the situation is extremely critical."

The words "in imminent danger" were like two poisoned daggers, piercing precisely into the hearts of the two men present.

Fu Shihong's body swayed violently, and hot tears welled up instantly in his cloudy old eyes.

He raised his head and let out a desperate cry towards the ancestors enshrined in the ancestral hall.

"What a terrible thing!"

The old man roared, as if all his strength had been drained in an instant, or as if he had been injected with endless madness.

He whirled around, grabbed a barbed leather whip from the side, his eyes bloodshot, and lashed it hard across Fu Beichen's back once more.

"You little beast! I'll beat you to death."

Each lash, imbued with a devastating hatred, caused his previously scarred flesh to bleed profusely once more.

Fu Beichen's body trembled violently, and his chapped lips murmured, "Niannian, I need to find Niannian..."

He seemed to suddenly wake up; he struggled to his feet, but his body, unable to bear the weight, fell heavily forward.

Everything before my eyes was completely dark.

...

When Gu Xingnian woke up, it was three days later; she had indeed walked through the gates of hell.

She kept bleeding, but fortunately an elderly gynecologist gave her acupuncture.

Consciousness is like a stone sunk to the bottom of the sea, slowly and heavily dredged up.

She opened her eyes.

A blinding white.

The ceiling and walls were pure white.

The curtains were light blue, swaying gently in the breeze like a tranquil lake.

Various monitoring instruments were attached to his body, emitting soft beeping sounds.

A needle was stuck in the back of her hand, and the cold liquid flowed slowly, drop by drop, into her body through the IV tube.

She simply moved her fingers slightly.

"He's awake! The patient is awake!"

The door was suddenly pushed open, and the doctor and nurses rushed in, their steps hurried yet orderly.

Following behind them was Bai Yu, whose face looked haggard.

He had bluish stubble on his chin, dark circles under his eyes, and bloodshot eyes; he looked like he hadn't slept for three days and three nights.

The doctor quickly checked her various physical indicators, nodded at the data on the instrument, and then turned to Bai Yu and whispered a few words.

Bai Yu's tense shoulders finally slumped.

The doctors and nurses quickly left, and the ward instantly fell silent.

Gu Xingnian's lips were chapped, and when she opened her mouth, the voice she made was hoarse and unlike her own.

"Is my child... still alive?"

Bai Yu walked to the bedside and sat down. His tall figure loomed over him, bringing a sense of reassurance.

He reached out and gently took her cold little hand in his warm palm.

His voice was deep, yet carried an undeniable certainty.

"exist."

"He's still here."

These three words were like a thunderclap, or a spring rain.

Gu Xingnian let out a heavy sigh of relief, her taut nerves finally snapping.

Hot tears streamed down my face, soaking my pillow.

Very good.

Her baby is still alive.

Gu Xingnian's breathing gradually calmed down. She looked at the unfamiliar ceiling and asked another question.

Where is this?

Bai Yu gently stroked the back of her hand with his fingertips to soothe her emotions.

"A very safe and secluded place."

"These are all my people. You can rest here and have a safe pregnancy until your baby is born."

Gu Xingnian nodded, touching her lower abdomen, her eyes reddening once again.

This is her rebirth; from now on, her world no longer needs him.

...
