Gu Yan held Yun Xiangye's wrist and looked at her in the candlelight with his eyes slightly narrowed. "You brought me good luck, but I didn't cherish you well. It was my fault that you suffered so much when you first came to Chang'an. I also thought you were making a fuss, which was even more my fault. Although I have sincerely regretted it, I don't know how to make it up to you.

So after the divorce, I deserve to be seriously ill again. It's my fault that I didn't take good care of you after you arranged a wedding for me."

Yun Xiangye listened to Gu Yan's words, and didn't know if it was because a dying man speaks good words, but Gu Yan finally became a human being again.

Gu Yan coughed and said, "Xiangye, if I leave this time, you will take Nuonuo back to the Princess's residence. After I leave, you are not allowed to find another husband."

"Why?" Yun Xiangye looked at Gu Yan, "If you die, why can't I find another husband?"

Gu Yan coughed violently, almost choking out his breath, and was about to die, "Yun Xiangye!"

Yun Xiangye looked at Gu Yan and said, "Don't even mention that we've divorced. Even if we hadn't, I would have stayed a widow for you my whole life. After you die, I will definitely find Nuonuo a better father than you."

Gu Yan was very angry. Although he was seriously ill and weak, he still had the strength to pull Yun Xiangye into his arms.

Gu Yan lowered his head and bit Yun Xiangye's lips. "Do you wish I would die right now? Do you have to let me die before you forgive me?"

Yun Xiangye felt the heat so close to her: "Gu Yan, if you die, I will definitely marry someone else..."

Gu Yan kissed Yun Xiangye's lips once again, his scorching body temperature nearly burning her. After a while, Gu Yan finally let go of her and said, "What sin did I commit in my past life that I would fall in love with you at first sight in this life?"

Yun Xiangye said, "Love at first sight?"

Gu Yan said, "As early as the first day we met, when I jumped into the lake to save you, I thought that if you pestered me to marry you on the pretext that I had saved you and ruined your reputation, I would marry you."

Yun Xiangye: "Who would pester you?"

Gu Yan held Yun Xiangye's hand and said, "I miss you clinging to me, cough cough cough."

Yun Xiangye said, "You'd better go back quickly. You're really seriously ill. If you die in my embroidery workshop, my business will plummet. No one will dare to buy clothes from us anymore."

Gu Yan: "...My life is not as important as your embroidery business?"

Gu Yan felt a sharp pain in his chest, and was so angry that he could hardly breathe, "Cough cough... cough!"
