Ex-Husband, Please Let Go

For two years of their hidden marriage, Ji Shuyu poured all her love into Gu Xiuyuan. She thought she could finally enter his heart, but it couldn't stand against the return of his old flame.

Chapter 14 Left Behind

Ji Shuyu slowly opened her eyes and reached out to touch the area beside her. It was cold. It looked like she had been gone for a long time.

There was a sadness in her eyes, and then she found herself a little funny.

what's on your mind?

Do you still expect him to accompany you all night...

At this time, it was already dawn.

Rubbing her chest, she got up and went into the bathroom to take a shower.

My chest felt heavy and stuffy. I hadn't felt this scared in a long, long time.

She took a deep breath, trying to dispel the tightness in her chest, but ultimately failed.

"Xiao Yu."

Ji Shuyu was so frightened when she suddenly heard someone calling her that she almost slipped.

Gu Xiuyuan came back from the study and frowned when he heard the sound of water splashing in the bathroom, but it was obviously too late to stop it.

"You have injuries on your legs and hands, don't wash for too long," he reminded.

"You, you didn't go to work?" she asked stumblingly, her reaction a beat slow.

She thought he was dead, and even wondered if he had died while she was asleep.

"Didn't you say you were going to the hospital today?" Gu Xiuyuan responded. "I've already made an appointment with the doctor. I'll come down to eat after I'm done washing up."

Ji Shuyu's heart skipped a beat. It turned out that he was waiting for her result!

She suddenly felt a little disgusted with herself for being "suspicious" and felt that she was being very pretentious.

Didn't we already agree to go to the hospital? Why are you here, talking to yourself and making random guesses?

Taking a deep breath, she rubbed her face in front of the mirror, then tried to smile: Ji Shuyu, cheer up, everything will depend on the test results.

Hospital.

Gu Xiuyuan had made arrangements in advance, so the examination went smoothly. While waiting for the results, she went to the bathroom again and again.

"Are you nervous?" Gu Xiuyuan looked at her and held her hand in his.

It was kind of funny at first, but I realized my palms were sweaty and a little cold.

"Aren't you nervous?" Ji Shuyu looked at him, her hands slowly tightening. "What...result do you hope for?"

In fact, he should be more nervous than her!

After all, this concerns them and Su Yan.

No, it’s him and Su Yan.

Gu Xiuyuan looked at Ji Shuyu, whose face was a little pale, and said after a moment: "Any result is good."

"What if not?" she asked anxiously.

If not, would he be relieved, or would he...hope?

That shouldn’t be the case!

She pursed her lips and looked away, feeling that she shouldn't ask such a boring question.

Gu Xiuyuan looked at her and smiled, "We are still young, why rush?"

Ji Shuyu didn't understand what he meant for a moment. What did he mean by they were still young?

Isn't he going to...

"Don't think about whether you have it or not." Gu Xiuyuan held her hand tightly. "After the examination, I'll take you to eat something delicious."

The familiar gentle tone now sounded so piercing that she lowered her head and asked, "What are you eating?"

Farewell dinner?

As if he could see through her thoughts, Gu Xiuyuan ruffled her hair and sighed helplessly. "Xiaoyu, we really need to have a good talk."

The intimate actions, even with a bit of helpless doting, made Ji Shuyu want to cry.

At this moment, she felt as if the unhappiness of the past few days was just a dream, but the wounds on her body reminded her all the time that everything was wrong.

Looking at the handsome man in front of her, she tentatively leaned towards his chest. She was afraid that he would avoid her, or even afraid that he would refuse.

She approached cautiously, and Gu Xiuyuan felt a pang of pain in his heart. He slowly clenched his fingers, and finally raised his hand to gently hug her...

The result came out very quickly, which was beyond Ji Shuyu's expectations.

When she saw the word "negative" on the test report on her mobile phone, her heart sank.

The thing I was most worried about finally happened.

It wasn't until this moment that she realized that despite all her previous claims of fear and that it wasn't the right time, deep down in her heart, she was looking forward to having this child...

Tears fell out, she wiped them quickly, looked at the man who answered the phone in the distance, and then walked into the clinic.

"Doctor, could there be something wrong?" Ji Shuyu asked, somewhat unwillingly. "I've tried three times, and the reactions have been particularly severe recently..."

"Miss, there's nothing wrong with it," the doctor said patiently. "Sometimes a false pregnancy can also cause this reaction."

"False pregnancy?" She looked at the doctor, somewhat puzzled.

"It might be psychological. Expecting too much can cause this." The doctor smiled and said, "You look pretty young, so get married! Relax. You can't rush this."

Ji Shuyu forced a smile and nodded. "Thank you, doctor."

When she came out of the clinic, Ji Shuyu's cell phone rang.

It was grandma calling, she had called many times this morning.

At first she said she would tell her as soon as the results came out, but now...what should she say?

Grandma is looking forward to this baby so much. If she knew there was no baby, she would be very disappointed!

Where is Gu Xiuyuan?

What result does he expect?

She leaned against the wall and watched Gu Xiuyuan walking towards her.

Looking at Ji Shuyu's expression and the fact that her phone rang but she didn't pick it up, Gu Xiuyuan probably knew the result.

He reached out and took her phone, then picked it up: "Grandma, don't worry, the results haven't come out yet! Well, we'll go back and talk later."

He comforted his grandmother, then put his arm around Ji Shuyu's shoulders. "Come on, let's go have a good meal."

Ji Shuyu looked at him, he smiled gently, and then took her into the elevator.

He habitually held her in his arms. The two of them stood at the front. When the elevator door opened, they met Su Yan head-on.

She was supported by her aunt, her hand was wrapped in gauze, and she was excitedly telling her aunt, "Xiuyuan promised to buy her dumplings."

Eyes filled with emotion.

The cup in Su Yan's hand fell off, and her eyes were full of disbelief.

The hand on his shoulder quickly loosened, and Ji Shuyu's heart sank.

Snap——

It seemed that what fell to the ground was not Su Yan's water cup, but his own heart.

He accompanied her to the hospital for a checkup, but he was thinking about another woman.

Su Yan saw that they couldn't bear the stimulation and turned around and ran away. After taking a few steps, they slipped to the ground.

"Yanyan!" Gu Xiuyuan shouted and chased after her.

Ji Shuyu was left standing there, and was bumped by someone coming out of the elevator, causing her to stagger and nearly fall.

She stood on her own feet in a panic, watching Gu Xiuyuan quickly embrace another woman...

My heart ached so much that my vision became blurred.

Gu Xiuyuan rushed to Su Yan and wanted to help her up.

"I'm fine." Su Yan's voice trembled slightly, her eyes red, and she looked aggrieved and heartbroken, as if she had been betrayed by her lover. "Don't worry about me."

She stubbornly tried to stand up on her own, but fell back down weakly.

The violent shaking made tears fall from his eyes and shatter onto the ground. Then he covered his stomach and sobbed uncontrollably.

Ji Shuyu froze, watching Gu Xiuyuan pick up Su Yan, watching him approach, watching him pass in front of her, but he didn't pay any attention to her.

She pursed her lips tightly, trying hard to hold back her tears.

It turned out that he ran out desperately yesterday just because Su Yan's hand was injured.

So, he came back not because he was worried about her, but because Su Yan was okay...

The elevator door slowly closed, and she saw Su Yan's provocative smile, and then she hugged Gu Xiuyuan and kissed him...
