Chapter 234 My love is not shameful, nor will it embarrass Gu Nan

Xue Mingqian had a good relationship with Cui Shao, so the old lady felt at ease leaving the person in his care.

The old housekeeper found a saw, and Cui Yue opened Gu Nan's door. He saw Gu Nan lying on the bed, and Qi Yan was kneeling in front of her, with her head lowered, motionless like a clay sculpture.

Cui Yue handed the saw to the old housekeeper and walked in slowly. "Qi Yan, are you okay?"

Qi Yan had her back to the door, so Cui Yue saw Gu Nan first. Apart from her pale face, she looked as if she was asleep.

Qi Yan seemed to think that she was asleep, so he covered her with a quilt and tucked the corners tightly for fear that she would catch a cold.

He walked over and put one hand on Qi Yan's shoulder. His thin shoulder was like a skeleton, and the joints at the back of his neck protruded exaggeratedly, as if they would break apart with a slight pinch.

He was not one to persuade others. He was silent for a long while before saying, "Cheer up. Her funeral affairs are still waiting for you to take care of."

Qi Yan moved slightly, dodged his hand, crawled over and curled up beside Gu Nan, hugging her, and said stubbornly: "Sister is not dead, sister is just asleep."

Cui Yue was in a heavy mood. Qi Yan loved and respected Gu Nan and depended on her like a picked-up chick. Gu Nan's sudden death was like taking away his backbone.

He understood, but the person was already dead, the body needed to be collected and cremated, a mourning hall had to be opened, and an obituary had to be published. He couldn't keep pretending that the person was still alive and occupying the corpse without moving.

The villa is well heated, and the body will rot and stink in two days.

He wanted to persuade them, but two people suddenly rushed in from the door, and the one running in front was Cui Shao.

Cui Shao rushed to the bed like a madman. Cui Yue raised his hand to stop him, but Cui Shao, who was in a mad state, was extremely strong. With a backhand, he pushed the man and made him stagger twice.

Cui Yue was surprised. He knew that Cui Shao liked fitness, but this was the first time he was pushed away by his younger brother with one hand.

Cui Shao grabbed Qi Yan's arm and effortlessly pulled him off the bed and threw him to the ground.

Gu Nan's body was dragged, revealing the dark red corpse spots on the back of his neck.

Cui Shao felt a lump in his throat and bent down to hug her.

Qi Yan suddenly pounced forward and bit Cui Shao's wrist. He used all his strength, his face was ferocious, his eyes were murderous, and he seemed to want to bite off a piece of flesh from Cui Shao's wrist.

Cui Shao punched Qi Yan directly in the face.

He threw the punch without mercy, loosening the wrist he had bitten and twisting the neck to the side with a snap.

Cui Shao picked up the person and was about to leave. Gu Nan's body had not yet begun to stiffen, but his hanging hands already had an obvious sense of deadness.

He wanted to take the person away, but Qi Yannan refused to let him do so, so he picked up the small bedside lamp and hit him on the head.

The base of the desk lamp was made of metal and was very heavy. I hit the back of my head with all my strength and blood immediately flowed out. The collar of my snow-white shirt was covered in red.

Cui Shao staggered and knelt on one knee, but still held Gu Nan tightly.

Cui Yue was horrified when he saw this, and suddenly understood why the old lady was worried that Cui Shao would become depressed.

He clearly also likes Gu Nan, and he is determined to take Gu Nan's body away regardless of his shame.

Qi Yan raised the lamp and was about to smash it, but Xue Mingqian stopped him with his quick eyes and hands.

One hit is revenge, two hits are fatal. If this is not stopped, Cui Shao will have to go to the hospital immediately.

As soon as Xue Mingqian intervened, Qi Yan finally noticed him. Facing this love rival who also harbored evil intentions, Qi Yan did not hide his hostility at all. His brows were lowered, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked extremely ferocious and murderous.

He is a wild wolf that has seen blood. Gu Nan is his Achilles' heel and his reins. While the rope is still there, he will disguise himself as a domestic dog and curl up at her feet. Once the rope is broken, the beast's murderous nature can no longer be hidden.

He had murderous intentions towards Cui Shao and wanted to kill him.

Xue Mingqian was startled, snatched the lamp from his hand and threw it far away.

Cui Yue also reacted, took a few big steps to block Cui Shao's way, and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Shao, put him down."

Cui Shao could feel the blood flowing to his lower back. He felt a dull pain in the back of his head and his vision was a little shaky, but since he had come here, he would not return empty-handed. "Brother, get out of the way."

His face had paled noticeably, and his posture wasn't as steady as before. Cui Yue felt sorry for his brother, but even so, he couldn't let Cui Shao take her away. He said earnestly, "Where can you take her? Gu Nan is already dead. All we can do is send her off properly."

Cui Shao's eyes suddenly turned red, and he gritted his teeth, "Even if she dies, I will definitely take her away."

When Gu Nan was alive, he only had Qi Yan in his eyes. It was impossible for her to go with him. Only when she died and could no longer speak could she belong to him alone.

"Why did you take my sister away? I don't like you at all!" Qi Yan yelled at Cui Shao's back with a vengeful hatred, "My sister only likes me. She said she will always like only me!!!"

Cui Shao turned around, his eyes red. "So what if she likes you? She's blind to fall for a loser like you! If I were by her side today, she wouldn't have died!"

"Qi Yan, it's you who should die, not her!"

Qi Yan's face turned pale in an instant and he almost fell down.

"Xiao Shao!" Cui Yue scolded harshly.

Seeing Qi Yan's devastated expression, Cui Shao finally felt a twisted sense of satisfaction. He knew clearly that every word he spoke was like a knife, but he still said fiercely, "Am I wrong? If it weren't for you, Gu Nan would be a thousand times, ten thousand times better than she is now. She was dragged down by you!"

Gu Nan’s reproach in the dream seemed to echo in his ears.

Qi Yan, you are a liar.

Why didn’t you come online earlier? Do you know that I’m in pain?

It’s all your fault. Why didn’t you save me, Qi Yan? I hate you!

Qi Yan was trembling all over and tears were falling.

He didn't mean to not save Gu Nan. He didn't know that Gu Nan would be hunted down by Bai Ling. He didn't know that Gu Nan could not quit even if she died, and he didn't know that she would really die in the game.

The image of herself before being shot appeared in front of him, with a hideous wound on her neck. She looked at him from a distance, smiling at him, her eyes filled with sad and helpless tears.

She had something to say to him, but he didn't hear her.

He didn't even notice her abnormality in time, which delayed the first aid.

He was the one who harmed her. Gu Nan shouldn't have died.

Qi Yan burst into tears and cried loudly.

Cui Shao looked at him coldly, picked up Gu Nan and turned to leave.

But Cui Yue still stopped him. Even though he couldn't bear it, he could only cruelly expose the fragile truth, "Who are you to take her away?"

Everyone knows that Gu Nan is Qi Yan’s girlfriend, so why should Cui Shao take Gu Nan away?

He has no legitimate reason and is not even qualified to handle Gu Nan's funeral.

"I don't want fame, I just want her." Facing Cui Yue's heavy gaze, Cui Shao had never felt so determined and calm before, as if the mountain pressing on his heart was suddenly dug away. Although it left an abyss that was difficult to fill, he could finally see the sunlight.

He smiled, even though it was ugly and his eyes were red, but it was indeed a genuine smile, "My love is not shameful, and it will not embarrass Gu Nan."
