Gu Nianqiang bit her lip, staring at him intently.

She shook her head and said softly, "It's nothing. I just couldn't think straight for a moment. My brother made a mountain out of a molehill and insisted that you come over. I'm sorry, Nan Xiao, for making you come over so late at night."

Gu Qihang couldn't help but speak with exasperation: "Qiangqiang, you clearly committed suicide because of him! Why didn't you tell him the truth about why you broke up with him?!"

“Brother!” Gu Nianqiang interrupted him, choking back tears, “Don’t say anymore. Leaving Nanxiao was my mistake. There’s no truth to it.”

She looked at Gu Qihang, her eyes pleading.

Gu Qihang swallowed his words in anger.

There was clearly a secret hidden in their words.

Fu Nanxiao's eyes darkened slightly: "What truth?"

"N-nothing!" Gu Nianqiang shook her head, a hint of panic in her expression. "Nan Xiao, don't ask anymore."

Fu Nanxiao looked at Gu Qihang with cold eyes: "Gu Qihang, what exactly happened?"

"Brother, please don't..."

"Okay, I'll tell you!"

Gu Qihang glared at Fu Nanxiao, gritting his teeth: "Qiangqiang broke up with you back then because of you! You should remember that your Fu family was embroiled in internal strife at the time, and someone kidnapped Qiangqiang and took her picture! They wanted to use it to blackmail you. After Qiangqiang was rescued, she begged us not to tell you about it. She broke up with you and went abroad so as not to become a burden to you!"

"After she went abroad, she developed severe depression because of you. She has been receiving treatment abroad for the past few years. Just when she was about to recover and return to China, you married a new lover! How could you do this to Qiangqiang!"

"Brother!" Gu Nianqiang exclaimed excitedly, "I told you not to tell Nan Xiao! Do you want me to die?"

"I don't want you to do anything foolish because of him! You've done so much for him, and he doesn't know anything about it!"

"It was my own choice!".........

"But you're my sister, I can't just stand by and watch you risk your life!"

The brother and sister started arguing. Fu Nanxiao suppressed his shock and coldly said, "Enough."

He looked at Gu Nianqiang, his expression complicated: "You should have told me."

At the time, the Fu family was embroiled in internal strife, and he was busy with work, so he didn't even know that she had been kidnapped.

Gu Nianqiang's tears fell in large drops, her face showing humiliation and grievance: "Those people took pictures... Nan Xiao, I don't want you to know such shameful things about me."

Tears streamed down her face; she looked utterly pitiful. "Nan Xiao, I wanted to come back after knowing you were in a car accident, but I'm receiving treatment, and the doctor won't let me return to the country..."

"I understand, I don't blame you."

Fu Nanxiao felt very uncomfortable.

He took a tissue and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Gu Nianqiang sobbed, her eyes filled with longing as she looked at Fu Nanxiao.

She spoke cautiously, "Nan Xiao, you still love me, don't you?"

Fu Nanxiao paused.

He didn't answer the question, but just patted her on the shoulder and said, "Don't do such a foolish thing again."

Gu Nianqiang looked dejected.

However, she nodded obediently and gave him a flattering smile: "I won't do that, don't worry."

Gu Qihang's brows furrowed in anger as he watched this scene.

But he remained silent, feeling frustrated.

Only after Gu Nianqiang had fallen into a deep sleep did Gu Qihang suppress his voice and say coldly, "Fu Nanxiao, let's go outside and talk!"

Fu Nanxiao did not refuse and got up to walk out.
