Chapter 175
After Gu Yunting learned the whole story and heard that Su Mengxue fainted on the spot, he became extremely anxious and worried.
After finishing the record, he did not dare to delay for a moment. After leaving the police station, he took a taxi straight to the hospital. At this moment, he could not hear any other sounds. All his thoughts were on Su Mengxue.
He put the luggage bag on the ground and walked a few steps to Su Mengxue. His eyes were fixed on her. He quickly scanned her pale face and then the purple and red mark on her neck.
His eyes were filled with uncontrollable heartache and guilt, and his fingers hanging by his sides unconsciously clenched tightly.
After hesitating for a few seconds, he said in a trembling voice: "Mengxue, it's all my fault that you resorted to such a desperate measure. Does your neck still hurt? Are you injured anywhere else?"
After he finished speaking, he began to look Su Mengxue up and down, his eyes full of tension and worry.
Su Mengxue saw the burning look in his eyes and knew how much self-blame and worry he felt. She quickly replied lightly, "Gu Yunting, I'm fine now."
She added, "You don't have to blame yourself too much. In fact, I didn't do this entirely for you. I also wanted to seek justice for my parents."
Gu Yunting knew that the reason she took such a big risk to do this was for him. She was just afraid of feeling bad, so she spoke as if it had nothing to do with him.
He came to Shanghai specifically to make up for his debt to her and the child, but he didn't expect that he owed her more and more.
He lowered his head and whispered, "Mengxue, I...I'm sorry..."
There were thousands of things he wanted to say, but when he was actually in front of her, he couldn't utter a single word.
Su Mengxue felt bad when she saw Gu Yunting feeling so guilty. She comforted him, "Gu Yunting, if you hadn't snatched the knife from Lu Xin at the train station, I might have died long ago."
"Then according to what you said, if you didn't save me, why did you end up in the police station? Should I also say sorry to you?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yunting suddenly raised his head and shook his head repeatedly, saying, "Mengxue, that's not what I meant just now. I wanted to say..."
"It seems that my staying here is really unnecessary. Okay, you two can chat slowly. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Only then did Gu Yunting notice the man next to him. When he saw the lunch box on the cabinet, he became more scrutinizing and wary of the man.
Men understand men. Cheng Xinkai knew that Gu Yunting regarded him as a love rival. He then smiled at Gu Yunting and extended his hand in a friendly manner.
"Hello, I'm Cheng Xinkai, Su Mengxue..." He paused for a few seconds before continuing, "Su Mengxue's mother's attending physician is also a close friend of her parents, regardless of age difference."
Gu Yunting realized that he was too nervous, and quickly extended his hand to Cheng Xinkai, politely saying, "Hello, my name is Gu Yunting, and I'm Meng Xue's..."
He glanced at Su Mengxue, then replied hesitantly, "Mengxue's pursuer."
When Su Mengxue heard this, her expression began to become unnatural. She glanced at him and said with a hint of dissatisfaction: "Gu Yunting, who allowed you to pursue me?"
Gu Yunting didn't realize Su Mengxue was teasing him, and explained very seriously: "Mengxue, I won't force you. I just hope you can give me a chance to make amends. When you feel that I have done enough, it will not be too late to agree to me."
Seeing Gu Yunting's serious look as if he was giving a report in the army, Su Mengxue thought he was both funny and cute. He was no different from five years ago, still a straight man, and he didn't understand the subtext of her words at all.
She curled her lips and said lightly, "Gu Yunting, what if I never agree to you?"
Gu Yunting blurted out, "Then I will wait for you forever."
Su Mengxue pretended to think for a moment, then replied indignantly, "Then behave yourself and try to make me forgive you sooner rather than later. Otherwise, I don't want to be alone for the rest of my life."
Happiness came so suddenly that Gu Yunting was stunned for a moment. He asked in a daze, "Mengxue, what do you mean by this?"
Su Mengxue looked at Gu Yunting, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes: "Gu Yunting, five years have passed, why are you still so dull?"
"Mengxue, do you mean that you are willing to give me a chance?" This time Gu Yunting answered quickly.
Su Mengxue smiled at him and said meaningfully, "Gu Yunting, you must behave well in the future. I also have my dignity to protect, and I will never give you a second chance!"
Gu Yunting approached Su Mengxue and said earnestly, "Mengxue, don't worry. I will never do anything to hurt you or the child again."
Su Mengxue looked at the face in front of her that she had longed for for years, feeling a mixture of emotions. She pursed her lips, suppressing the sadness and grievance in her heart, and said with red eyes: "Gu Yunting, you are such a bastard. You made me wait for so many years with my child."
Gu Yunting felt both distressed and guilty. His fingers gently stroked Su Mengxue's cheek and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
With tears in his eyes, he promised Su Mengxue: "Mengxue, I will never do anything to hurt you and the child in the future. If I break my oath, then let me never..."
Before Gu Yunting could finish his words, Su Mengxue covered his mouth with her hand and said nervously, "Gu Yunting, even if it's for me and the child, you are not allowed to say such nonsense in the future."
Seeing Su Mengxue was so nervous about him, Gu Yunting smiled and nodded: "Okay, I won't say anything nonsense."
At this moment, the world was so quiet that only the sound of their breathing remained. His Adam's apple moved as he looked at the person he had thought about day and night, and the surging longing became more and more uncontrollable.
The next second, he gently embraced Su Mengxue in his arms and buried his head in her neck and shoulders. His heart, which had been wandering for many years, finally found a place to rest.
Su Mengxue also hugged Gu Yunting tightly with her arms. She buried her head in his chest, listening to his strong heartbeat. For the first time in all her years in Shanghai, she felt at ease, secure, and happy.
Cheng Xinkai didn't have the courage to stay in the ward any longer, so he left the ward early while the two of them were arguing. He sat at the stairs for a long time before returning to the second floor.
On his way back to the department, he met Director Zhou and stopped.
He paused, then smiled and asked, "Director, does the girl you introduced me to last time have a partner now? If not, I'd like to meet her."
Director Zhou was briefly surprised, then jokingly said to him, "Xinkai, didn't you say you had someone you liked? Why? She doesn't want to?"
