Storm is coming

Lin Xunye blinked slowly.

An idea popped into his mind.

"Gu Pei, what did Lin Gaoyuan do?"

He had been deliberately avoiding this matter since he woke up, not looking at it, not searching it, filling his brain with other thoughts, but now it seemed that he had to face it.

"Ano..."

"Gu Pei, I don't want to hear any consolation." Lin Xunye said as he opened the only remaining cake.

A crisp sound was heard in the car, and Lin Xunye held the fork and hovered just above the cake.

The round cake was placed there neatly, and the sweet scent of oranges filled the car.

I wish this was Lin Gaoyuan’s head.

A terrifying thought flashed through his mind. Lin Xunye's eyes were red as he turned to look at Gu Pei, "I want to hear the truth."

What on earth did he do to you.

Why is the front page picture of you on the news with bloodshot eyes, glaring at them?

Why didn’t you reply to my message in time? Are you bothered by Lin Gaoyuan?

Did he hurt you by hurting me, or did he threaten you by using me?

All the questions he wanted to ask were shattered by Lin Xunye and remained unspoken.

He couldn't say it.

The spoon, held vertically, shook twice and then fell heavily.

The orange cake was split in two.

Along with Lin Xunye's heart, which had been tried hard to repair but was broken again.

It takes a lifetime to make up for the pain of one's original family.

Lin Xunye originally thought that he had done well enough. After the college entrance examination, he moved out of his home and was not insulted or beaten for no reason. He returned to China to compromise and marry. Fortunately, he met Gu Pei and was no longer entangled by the people sent by Lin Gaoyuan.

He has really tried very hard.

But why, why was Lin Gaoyuan unwilling to let him go?

Is it really as Lin Gaoyuan said when he was talking nonsense, that he was his son in the previous life and had to sacrifice himself for his greed, so he deserves to be his son in this life as well?

Gu Pei's voice became unclear. Lin Xunye looked at him calmly, "Gu Pei, tell me the whole story from beginning to end. I want to hear it all."

No, he would never accept his fate.

He doesn't believe in past lives or present lives. He has only lived by himself since he was a child, so this life should be his own!

Lin Xunye's attitude was very firm, and Gu Pei, who had been tense for three days, almost couldn't hold it back at this moment.

"he......"

Gu Pei had also thought about whether he should tell the truth to Lin Xunye, but when the time came, he couldn't say anything.

How would he say it?

He told Lin Xunye that he was his lover in his previous life, but caused him to die because of it, or Lin Gaoyuan was so bad in his previous life and had been using him all along.

He couldn't tell which one.

He couldn't bear to see Lin Xunye sad, and he couldn't bear the cold look Lin Xunye gave him after he knew the truth.

After all, even he himself didn't know what happened in his previous life that led the two of them to that situation.

"Aye, there are just some problems in the company's decision-making. They can be solved soon. You don't have to worry." Gu Pei said lightly.

Lin Xunye's eyes were filled with anger. He knew that he couldn't get anything out of Gu Pei, so he opened his phone and started looking at it.

Clicking on the news that he had deliberately ignored, Lin Xunye slid his finger quickly across the top photo and read the text in the middle.

The middle part is similar to the eye-catching title, which basically means that Gu Pei used his power and wealth to force Lin Gaoyuan to marry Lin Xunye to him. The two families were superficially in a marriage relationship, but in fact, Lin Gaoyuan was forced to "sell" his son to Gu Pei.

The report put all the blame on Gu Pei. Not only did Lin Gaoyuan disappear, he was also labeled as a poor old father who lost his beloved son.

The comments were all one-sided, all blaming Gu Pei, with some even saying he was a pitiful commodity.

Haha, except for the last sentence, Lin Xunye disagreed with all of them.

He was indeed pitiful as he was sold by his biological father in exchange for benefits.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Lin Xunye felt sad. He thought a lot and only asked this question.

The car had already stopped near the hospital. Gu Pei looked at him quietly, memorizing all his facial expressions.

He found frowns, pouts, and even rolling eyes when showing no expression cute.

"Gu Pei" Lin Xunye reached out and patted him on the face.

"Yeah, I'm here."

Lin Xunye was so angry that it reached his chest, but Gu Pei showed no signs of being angry. He just looked very aggrieved when he first saw him.

"Are you distracted?" Lin Xunye buckled his phone to the seat, unbuckled the seat belt, and pressed down on his neck. "Gu Pei, if you keep doing this, I'm going to beat you up."

"No, Aye."

"Don't be angry."

Gu Pei raised his head following his force, his eyes full of him.

"Gu Pei, it's already this time and you still care whether I'm angry or not. Do you still have to stand by and cheer me up when I get pregnant and go into the operating room?" Lin Xunye was so angry that he used all his strength.

Gu Pei: "No, I will respect Aye's wishes."

Lin Xunye: "Then shut up now."

"You didn't answer the phone today because of this matter." Lin Xunye turned on the phone and put it in front of him.

Gu Pei took a look and pursed his lips.

His assistant told him the news this morning, but he didn't take it seriously and decided to deal with it calmly.

After all, that's how it's been done before.

It's just enough for him to use as an excuse.

"Yeah." Gu Pei's eyebrows drooped instantly. "What they said was too harsh. I was a little sad, so I didn't answer your call."

A very clumsy lie.

Lin Xunye obviously didn't believe it.

Gu Pei was not one to express his emotions openly, and he seldom paid attention to the opinions of irrelevant people. But when he suddenly told him that he was sad because of the unpleasant words said by others, Lin Xunye didn't believe it.

Lin Xunye: "Don't lie to me, I will really hit you."

"I'm not lying. They said what you said was rude, so I was sad."

Now, Lin Xunye was unsure.

Based on his recent in-depth understanding of Gu Pei, he really couldn't tell whether Gu Pei would be sad because he was scolded by others, and he only saw people saying that he was pitiful in the comment section, but didn't see anyone scolding him.

Just as he was about to take a closer look, his phone was taken away by Gu Pei.

"Stop looking at Aye, let's go." Gu Pei unbuckled his seat belt, got out of the car first, and then picked up Lin Xunye and walked towards the hospital before he could start cursing.

......

During dinner time, there were not many people coming and going in the hospital.

Most of them are family members who help patients buy meals, as well as doctors and nurses who are going home after get off work.

Lin Xunye was held by Gu Pei like this and walked all the way through the outpatient department to the inpatient department.

No matter how he struggled, Gu Pei didn't let go, and even half-jokingly said: "Didn't Ah Ye discuss the issue of having a baby with me? Maybe she is pregnant now, so I have to hold Ah Ye in case she falls and gets hurt."

Lin Xunye exploded: "Are you crazy? I was just giving you an example! Do you know what giving an example means?!"

This scene happened to be seen by Dr. Wang.

Doctor Wang had just finished his rounds and was about to leave work. He was walking through the hall between the inpatient department and the outpatient department when he saw this scene.

Doctor: "Didn't Xiao Pei tell you to exercise moderation?"

Lin Xunye: ""

Moderation...what

Gu Pei stopped and said, "Uncle Wang, his foot is injured. I will carry him back to the ward."

Dr. Wang glanced at Lin Xunye's intact foot in disbelief. There wasn't even a bruise on his ankle.

No, Dr. Wang adjusted his glasses and saw finger marks above Lin Xunye's ankle.

Doctor Wang: “…”

Young people are really unspeakable, they always tell lies.

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything more. Just take care of yourselves!" Doctor Wang walked away with his hands behind his back, shaking his head as he walked.

After this incident, Lin Xunye became quiet.

It was not until they entered the ward that he grabbed Gu Pei's collar to settle the score.

Lin Xunye: "Gu Pei, you'd better explain what happened just now, otherwise I will also settle the score with you for what you hid from me!"

Gu Pei was grabbed by the collar and was frightened at all. He even tilted his head forward slightly and pressed his lips against Lin Xunye's fist. "The doctor just now was my uncle, a friend of my father. We just happened to meet."

"As for Lin Gaoyuan..."

Gu Pei thought about his words and said, "Lin Gaoyuan won't do anything to me, don't worry."

Gu Pei knew clearly what Lin Gaoyuan wanted.

The reason why I didn’t answer Lin Xunye’s call in time for the meeting was because of Lin Gaoyuan.

During the seven days that Lin Xunye was in a coma, Lin Gaoyuan had been contacting his assistant as if he was in control of the situation.

Every time he would just leave one sentence: If you want to know about your past life, come see me.

For seven consecutive days, Gu Peili ignored him.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to know, but he can’t let Lin Gaoyuan get his wish.

Lin Xunye also didn't want to see him compromise with Lin Gaoyuan.

Just last night, Lin Gaoyuan must have run out of patience and came to the hospital to find him.

Gu Pei didn't see it. He sat in front of Lin Xunye's bed and called his assistant. In less than three minutes, Lin Gaoyuan was taken away by the bodyguards who arrived.

Gu Pei only heard a few insults with organ-like sounds.

The next day, he received a video.

Inside is Lin Gaoyuan's laboratory.

As for what he had developed, he knew without Lin Gaoyuan telling him - it was the medicine that caused him to completely break up with Lin Xunye in his previous life.

Lin Gaoyuan was warning him.

As Lin Gaoyuan thought, Gu Pei did contact him, but not in private, but openly encroaching on Lin's industry.

To this end, he held a meeting to discuss it for an entire afternoon.

Even though Gu Pei spoke with certainty and a serious expression, Lin Xunye still didn't quite believe it.

Lin Xunye had seen Lin Gaoyuan's laboratory and knew that they would occasionally develop vile things to control others, so he was still afraid.

"Gu Pei, I'm going to ask you one last time, are you sure you're okay?"

Gu Pei's eyes were firm: "I'm sure."

"Okay." Lin Xunye said softly, "I believe you."

I believe you this time.

"If you lie to me, I will die together with Lin Gaoyuan." Lin Xunye was not joking at all.

Gu Peixin also trembled, but he still chose to bear it himself: "Well, no."

He would fix this before he was discovered.

No matter whether it is Lin Gaoyuan or anyone else, don’t even think about hurting his A Ye.

......

Dinner was eaten outside.

After Lin Xunye got Gu Pei's assurance, his expression eased a little, but he was still in a heavy mood.

After consulting Dr. Wang, Gu Pei took him to a restaurant that has been very popular recently.

Walking on the road after dinner, Lin Xunye rejected Gu Pei's suggestion to drive back.

"I feel full of energy today. Is it okay to hike back?"

Gu Pei nodded: "Okay."

Haishi is by the sea, and you can even see red clouds in early autumn.

Lin Xunye walked five kilometers in one breath, and Gu Pei couldn't keep up with his speed.

"You look so excited today." Gu Pei caught up with him and put the scarf he bought on him.

Lin Xunye stood there and waited for Gu Pei to finish wrapping her scarf before saying, "I'm in good health and don't need a scarf."

Gu Pei lowered his eyes, his eyelashes fluttering: "I picked it for a long time, don't you like it?"

Lin Xunye couldn't bear to see Gu Pei like this. He took the scarf and said, "Then wear it reluctantly, but you have to know that I really don't need it."

"I don't need to be overprotective either."

"Gu Pei," Lin Xunye turned around, raised Gu Pei's hand to his lips, and bit it like Gu Pei did to him: "No matter what, I will do what I say."
