Chapter 1234 Even if you die, I won’t even look at you

Li Jinxing was tall and stood in front of Gu Wanqiu with his back to the light. When he looked down at Gu Wanqiu, his expression was very sinister, which made people feel timid.

"They say that evil can last a thousand years. Someone like you should at least live to old age, right? Dying now would be a blessing for you. This is just the beginning, and the days of pain are still to come. If you can't bear it now, how are you going to endure the rest?"

It seems that Li Jinxing really hates her.

Gu Wanqiu slowly sat up from the ground, and the quilt on her body slid to her waist as she moved. She had been ill, and her whole body was filled with a sense of brokenness. Her face looked very ugly, even worse than him, who had just returned from the gates of hell.

Gu Wanqiu had to take a deep breath just to sit up. She sweated a lot, but her condition still didn't improve. She knew that this was not just an ordinary cold.

When Li Jinxing was poisoned, did he have to endure this kind of pain every day?

Li Jinxing didn't believe that she was really about to die.

But he was right in one thing: her future days would indeed be very difficult, and they had only just begun.

Gu Wanqiu had been enduring and pretending, but Li Jinxing still caught the pain deep in her eyes.

"Gu Wanqiu, are you sad?" Li Jinxing squatted down, approached Gu Wanqiu's face, and looked into her eyes. He asked, "What are you sad about? I only treated you the same way you treated me before, maybe even less than one-tenth of it. Can't you bear it?"

I'm sorry, Li Jinxing, I didn't know you would suffer so much back then. It turns out that being a "dog" is really not easy.

There is indeed no true empathy in the world. If you want to understand the other person's pain, you have to experience it yourself.

The more Gu Wanqiu tried not to show her pain, the more obvious it became in her eyes. She didn't want to be seen by Li Jinxing so she simply lowered her head. The other party seemed to have noticed his intention, and when she was about to lower her head, a hand pinched her chin hard.

"Do you think that if you act like you're about to die, I'll be as soft-hearted as before? Obviously... obviously... I'm the one who almost died."

The force in his hand was so strong that Gu Wanqiu could only speak with difficulty: "But aren't you still alive now?"

These words were really hurtful. Even though Li Jinxing had told himself countless times in his heart that he no longer cared about Gu Wanqiu, he was still stabbed in the heart by her "innocent" words.

"If I die, will you be happy?"

"Maybe..." Gu Wanqiu shifted her gaze coldly, "If you die, I won't have to be imprisoned in this place anymore."

"That might disappoint you. My poison has been cured, and I won't die from now on. Even if I were to die, I would strangle you to death first, letting you die before me and take the blame for me. It's impossible for you to escape my control in this life. If we die together, we might be entangled together in the next life."

Li Jinxing really didn't love her anymore. When he loved her, he wouldn't let her go. The strange thing was, when he didn't love her anymore, he still wouldn't let her go.

It seems that even if he hates her too much, it won't work.

Relationships are so difficult, sometimes close and sometimes far. If you are too close, you will be annoyed; if you are too far, you will be alienated. How can you control the distance? Gu Wanqiu doesn't understand.

The force on her chin made her gasp involuntarily. Gu Wanqiu was always absent-minded, as if her soul had nowhere to rest.

Li Jinxing felt that her expression showed that she didn't take him seriously, which made him even more annoyed.

Gu Wanqiu lowered her eyes and stared at his wrist. As an adult wearing a watch, the skin on his wrist was lighter in color.

"Li Jinxing, if one day I die first and you can't die, will you be sad?"

Li Jinxing sneered: "Why should I still feel sad for you? Who do you think you are? Do you really think that I, Li Jinxing, will be unable to live every day after losing you? Gu Wanqiu, don't think too highly of yourself. I have suffered countless losses at your hands and been fooled twice. This is the second time you almost killed me." No matter what, he should learn his lesson.

Li Jinxing let go of his hand. There was still a trace of warmth on his fingertips that did not belong to him, which made his heart contract.

Gu Wanqiu was in better condition now than he had imagined. He knew that she had always been in a delicate body and could catch a cold easily due to the wind, so it was very common for her to get sick.

Li Jinxing was used to taking care of her. When he was still a dog beside her, he took care of her health more than his own. Because he was always watching over her, Gu Wanqiu's illness rate was greatly reduced.

Now she has turned back into that fragile "crystal doll", but Li Jinxing no longer holds her carefully.

However, although Gu Wanqiu is often sick, she is still in good health and Li Jinxing does not need to worry too much about her.

It's like a cracked mirror. Although it looks broken, it won't fall off easily.

The nanny and He Tian exaggerated her condition.

It seems that she doesn't need to move.

"I see that you are living well now. You have a quilt and a mat. Then you can live here forever." After saying that, Li Jinxing stood up.

He forgot that his health was not as good as before. He was now severely anemic. He felt dizzy after squatting for just a while. The moment he stood up, his vision went dark and he could not see anything. He almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, the wall was very close to him. He reached out to hold the wall, lowered his head, frowned and closed his eyes. After a brief period of accelerated heartbeat and rapid breathing, he finally returned to normal. He opened his eyes, but his vision had not returned to normal.

When he opened his eyes, he saw Gu Wanqiu's worried look under him.

He closed his eyes again, thinking self-deprecatingly that he might be hallucinating, otherwise how could he find a trace of concern for him on Gu Wanqiu's face?

Sure enough, when she opened her eyes again, there was no expression on Gu Wanqiu's face. She even turned her head away, not wanting to even look at him.

Just now, those words of concern almost came out of her mouth, but fortunately she gritted her teeth and closed her mouth in the end.

Li Jinxing has now realized that he can get nothing from Gu Wanqiu except being furious. Being angry will only hurt his body. If anything happens to him, the happiest person will be Gu Wanqiu, and he doesn't want to do what she wants.

Seeing Li Jinxing stand up straight and turn around, Gu Wanqiu raised her head and watched him leave.

Li Jinxing, if I die, will you really not care about me anymore? She had never taken Li Jinxing's "concern" seriously before, but now this little bit of "concern" was something she would never be able to get in her life.

Gu Wanqiu moved her lips and said silently, "That's good... That's good..." It's good.

Li Jin walked out and found the nanny standing at the door with a worried look on her face.

When he went in to meet Gu Wanqiu alone, she should have been standing here. Was she concerned about Gu Wanqiu and afraid that he would hurt her when he went in?

That's really ridiculous.

People like Gu Wanqiu, even if they do nothing, there will always be some people who care about her inexplicably. She is quite attractive.

"You care about her?"

The nanny knew that Li Jinxing now hated Gu Wanqiu. If she said a word of concern for Gu Wanqiu, it would probably make him unhappy. She knew better than anyone else who should be listened to and who made the decisions in this family.

"I wasn't concerned about her. It's just that Miss Gu has been seriously ill these past two days, and I was wondering if it wasn't good for her to sleep on the floor."

She said she didn't care about Gu Wanqiu, but from her words, it was obvious that she cared about Gu Wanqiu.

Li Jinxing saw through it but did not speak it out.

"You gave her a quilt and let her sleep on a blanket. This is no longer considered sleeping on the floor. Don't feel sorry for her. She is not pitiful at all. Although she is locked up here, she has food and drink every day. She is not hungry or cold. There is even someone to accompany her to the bathroom. She also lives in such a big house.

The clothes she wears are the best, and she doesn't have to wash them after she takes them off. There are people to take care of her when she is sick. Her life is better than that of many people.

Not having to worry about money every day, not having to worry about not being able to afford medicine when sick, not having to worry about where to live... Such a life is something many people envy, and her life is not miserable at all."

Li Jinxing's tone was cold and disdainful: "Instead of worrying about her, you might as well worry about yourself. No one who cares about Gu Wanqiu has a good ending."

There was Gu Chaodong, there was Mrs. Liu, and even he himself.

You should stay as far away from people like Gu Wanqiu as possible. It would be bad luck if you get involved with them.

The nanny was frightened by his look and tone: "This..."

She took Li Jinxing's words to heart, but she didn't agree. Was Gu Wanqiu's life of "no worries about food and clothing" really good? Without a little freedom, being a human would be worse than being a dog. Even a dog locked up would have time to walk outside, but Gu Wanqiu had none of that, like a prisoner.

What she did most every day was to lean against the wall or the window. The longest distance of the chain was close to the window. She walked to the window and looked outside. That was her brief freedom.

What Gu Wanqiu envies most right now is probably the birds flapping their wings outside the window.

It seems that Gu Wanqiu’s hope of returning to the bedroom is impossible.

If Gu Wanqiu showed that she cared about the child or cared about Li Jinxing, even if it was fake, she thought Li Jinxing would be happy and would be willing to treat her as a "human being".

Gu Wanqiu refused to give in, and neither would Li Jinxing.

The nanny chose not to speak, as saying more would only make Li Jinxing unhappy.

Li Jinxing returned to the room to see the child, and Zhou Yi was there too.

Zhou Yi was teasing her with his fingers, and a hint of tenderness appeared on his usually cold face.

Hearing the noise behind him, Zhou Yi turned around and said, "Boss, have you finished seeing Gu Wanqiu?" He was surprised that Li Jinxing came back so quickly.

"What's so good about her?" Li Jinxing didn't show any concern for Gu Wanqiu on his face.

"Do you like it?" Li Jin walked forward.

"What?"

Li Jinxing raised his chin to indicate that he was talking about Gu Sui who was sleeping in the crib.

"Children are quite interesting." He liked the little baby, and also liked Si Yan and Si Xu and the others.

Li Jinxing was pent up with emotions, but he had nowhere to vent them. After a long silence, he said, "Even you care about this child, but she, as a mother, doesn't care about the child at all. She doesn't even want to look at him even though he's so close."

Zhou Yi knew the inside story, but he didn't know what to say at this moment, so he chose to remain silent.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and Li Jinxing changed the subject: "Since you like children, why don't you find one now? At your age, it's time for you to have a relationship and start a family. Then you will have a child of your own."

"Sometimes, my own children don't seem interesting anymore. I have too much responsibility."

That's true... For example, the energy he puts into Si Yan and Si Xu is no less than that into work. If there is a problem at work, he can find a way to solve it, but if something happens to one of these three children, he will always be worried.

"Then you don't want to find someone?"

Zhou Yi shook his head: "This is good. My personality is not suitable for relationships, and I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings." With this example in front of him, he no longer has any idea about relationships. If his relationship turns out to be like Li Jinxing, he might as well stay the same and be single for the rest of his life.

He himself was having a terrible time, and he still wanted to persuade others. What right did he have to do that? Li Jinxing bent down, carefully picked up the child, and handed it to Zhou Yi.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhou Yi slowly raised his hand to take it. The child was very soft and small, curled up obediently in his arms, smiling at him, and was very lovable.

But he rarely held the child, and his body was stiff, like a wooden man, and he didn't dare to move.

Li Jinxing patted his stiff shoulders, signaling him to relax a little: "If you like children, then treat my three children as your own. The children have no mother, so it's good to have three more fathers to make up for the maternal love."

Zhou Yi held the child and asked, "Are you not going to let the child recognize Gu Wanqiu as his mother?"

Li Jinxing sneered: "What do you mean I don't plan to let the children recognize Gu Wanqiu? It's obviously Gu Wanqiu who refuses to recognize these three children!"

"Boss, are you planning to keep Gu Wanqiu locked up here forever?"

"What's the problem?"

This is a serious problem. Not to mention that locking people up for too long will make them sick, someone like Gu Wanqiu, who already has a poor health and won't live long anyway, is now locked up. The result will only be a life of depression. I'm afraid he won't survive even half a year, let alone a year.

If Gu Wanqiu died here, in front of Li Jinxing, and Li Jinxing knew the truth...that was the situation that He Tian least wanted to see.

"Boss, if you lock her up here, Siyan and Sixu will find out one day. How will you explain it to the two children then? Although Gu Wanqiu refuses to acknowledge these children, Siyan and Sixu have always kept her in their hearts. No matter what she did, she is still their mother in the eyes of the children. On the contrary, if you lock Gu Wanqiu up here, the two children will not agree... Unless you tell them the truth, maybe they will understand you."
