Chapter 5 Starting a New Life

After resting for several days, Gu Xingnian was finally able to be discharged from the hospital.

She didn't like the smell of disinfectant in the hospital.

Weiwei had to go on a business trip and sent a driver to pick her up.

Gu Xingnian dragged her still somewhat weak body back to the apartment she had bought before her marriage. It wasn't big, but every inch of it was her own, giving her a great sense of security.

The house is always cleaned, and it's bright and comfortable; even the flowers on the table are fresh.

This apartment is located in the most bustling part of the city, where every inch of land is precious. The balcony offers a unique view, with the 80-plus-story Fu Building standing like a giant in the very center of the city.

Before she got married, she always liked to stand here and gaze into the distance, because there was someone there who held her heart.

At this moment, her aloof, cold eyes were filled with frost; everything was now a thing of the past, and she was about to begin her new life.

She silently retreated back into the room and drew the curtains.

She still felt waves of cramping pain in her lower abdomen, as if silently reminding her of the little life she had lost.

She took a deep breath, shook her head, and tried to shake off the sour feeling.

She had no time to wallow in sadness; she had more important things to do.

She opened her laptop, which hadn't been used in a long time, and the screen lit up. Sure enough, there was an unread email with a starred label in her inbox.

She clicked on it, quickly skimming through it, her eyes growing colder, and then typed a few words on the keyboard:

"Then proceed as planned."

Send! Close the laptop.

She did it all in one go, as if the weak woman from before had vanished.

She took out the medicine prescribed by the doctor and swallowed it with warm water. The bitter taste spread on the tip of her tongue, but she seemed not to taste it at all.

Exhaustion washed over her like a tide, and she collapsed onto the soft bed, falling into a deep sleep...

It was evening, in the president's office of the Fu Group.

Assistant Lin Qi knocked on the door and came in to report.

"Mr. Fu, your wife was discharged from the hospital today. She didn't go back to Qingyuan, but moved directly to an apartment under her name."

Fu Beichen was processing documents when he heard this. His pen paused briefly, but only briefly.

"Um."

A single syllable, devoid of any emotion.

He raised his eyes, his gaze deep and unfathomable, like ink that could not be dissolved.

Where she lives is none of my business.

They didn't live together to begin with, only seeing each other once or twice a month. Little did he know that he would later break into her apartment again and again.

Lin Qi didn't dare to reply, only feeling that the temperature around him had dropped a few degrees.

Fu Beichen tossed the signed documents aside, his tone as indifferent as if he were discussing the weather.

"Send her the divorce papers and have her sign them as soon as possible."

"Yes, Mr. Fu." Lin Qi replied, silently sighing for the wife who had never truly received any care from Mr. Fu.

This couple is probably really headed for the end.

Fu Beichen lowered his head again, looking at the numbers flashing on the screen, as if what they had just discussed was just an insignificant contract.

However, the knuckles of his fingers, gripping the pen, were slightly white. Little did he know, the more indifferent he appeared now, the more painful the slap in the face would be later!

Just then, Jiang Kexin walked in.

Lin Qi picked up the divorce papers and quickly left.

She looked radiant today; no wonder she's a top star.

She was in a great mood today, and to her surprise, the person in that ward at the Central Hospital was Gu Xingnian. More importantly, she was there because she had a miscarriage.

This woman was unlucky; she couldn't even conceive steadily and miscarried right away. She hadn't even had a chance to help her yet; it was truly a stroke of luck.

Even TV wouldn't dare to portray something like this, haha!

Without the child, Gu Xingnian can never stay by Bei Chen's side again.

Most importantly, it seems that Brother Beichen is unaware of this matter.

This undoubtedly gave me a better opportunity to perform.

Fu Beichen looked up, a hint of tenderness unconsciously appearing in his eyes.

Why are you here?

"Of course I'll have dinner with you. I want to spend more time with you while I have some free time lately. I'm going to compete for a very well-known drama next week."

Jiang Kexin smiled broadly, unable to hide her excitement at all.

Seeing her happy expression, Fu Beichen's lips curled into a beautiful smile.

“Any work that our superstar Jiang would take a liking to is definitely not an ordinary one.”

Jiang Kexin couldn't wait to reveal the answer, looking smug.

"'Pear Blossom Tomb' is a very popular novel right now. You have to vote online to be chosen as the female lead. I made the list and ranked second."

Fu Beichen was certainly aware of this work. He had already initiated the acquisition plan for Huaguan last month, intending to give her the company she had signed with.

He has never been involved in the entertainment industry, but in order to protect her career, he had no choice but to spend a lot of money.

However, Jiang Kexin is unaware of this matter yet; he wants to give her a surprise in the future.

Fu Beichen nodded and took her small hand.

"Not bad, with your strength, you should take first place."

Jiang Kexin sat on his lap, wrapped her small arms around his neck, and said coquettishly:

"Brother Beichen, it's so good to have you. I know you've always been there to help me. Thank you for supporting my career."

Fu Beichen affectionately pinched her cheek. "Whatever makes you happy."

Yes, four years ago, in Deep Blue Bay in Country F, if she hadn't saved him, he would have perished at sea.

But little did he know that the one who could dive into the deep sea was not the woman in front of him!

He felt she deserved all the best things in the world, including his love.

Jiang Kexin rested her forehead against his smooth forehead, slowly moving closer to him, preparing to offer him a sweet kiss.

Fu Beichen's warm breath fell on her face, but she made no attempt to avoid it.

Suddenly, the phone rang, and Jiang Kexin frowned.

Fu Beichen smiled, picked up the phone casually, and Huo Shenyuan's excited voice came from the other end:

"Bei Chen, Lu Lie is back. I heard he's hosting a banquet for a mysterious guest at the Jinxiu Nanrong Club. Do you think that mysterious guest might be N God?"

Fu Beichen was taken aback for a moment, then a glint of light flashed in his eyes, "I'm coming over now."

He hung up the phone and thought for a few seconds.

Lu Lie is the heir to a major conglomerate in Country F and the initiator of the Global Medical Summit. They met briefly in Country F four years ago.

The news of N God's attendance had just been released when he secretly arrived in Haicheng.

Why did he choose Haicheng?

He had to find out the truth. In any case, he had to secure the cooperation between N God and the Fu family.

Jiang Kexin looked at him suspiciously, "Brother Beichen, is something wrong?"

Fu Beichen stroked her hair. "Nothing special, just taking you out for a nice meal."

Fu Beichen grabbed his coat and led her out of the office.

...

"Ding-dong! Ding-dong!" The doorbell rang abruptly, breaking the silence in the apartment.

Gu Xingnian was awakened by a doorbell ringing.

She shuffled slowly toward the door in her slippers and gently turned the doorknob.

The door opened!

However, standing outside the door was a man.

A familiar and handsome face, now with added traces of maturity and composure.
