At first glance, I thought I was seeing myself in my early twenties.
The girl had her hair tied in a high ponytail, a small and delicate face, rounded features without any sharp angles, and a pure and lively appearance. She wore a red long-sleeved dress, which made her look flamboyant and bright.
Judging from the quality of her clothes, her ankle boots, and the jewelry she wore, it was clear that she came from a wealthy family.
I had never seen her before.
Just when one "white moonlight" has passed, another red rose has appeared?
Oh.
I curled my lips slightly and looked at the man standing to the side. "Who is she?"
A cool and gloomy tone.
Hearing my words, Fu Yanshen frowned slightly. He came to my side, put his arm around my waist, and pulled me closer to him, holding me intimately.
The girl opposite us stared straight at us with her clear black and white eyes, pouting her lips as if she were very dissatisfied.
“I’m not familiar with her,” Fu Yanshen said, tightening his grip around my waist as he took the heavy fruit basket from my hands and carried it for me.
"Miss Ye, please look carefully. This is my lover! I have nothing to do with you!" He looked at the girl opposite him and spoke with unwavering certainty.
The girl's surname is Ye.
Judging from his tone, it was she who had come to pester him.
The girl frowned even more, looking both anxious and angry. "If we had no connection, why did you give me your heart? Why did you risk your life to save me?"
Hearing her questioning words, I froze, and the flowers in my arms fell to the ground.
It felt like I'd been hit on the head with a stick, my brain was buzzing.
I must have misheard.
I slowly turned my face and looked up at the man beside me, whose expression was cold and stern.
He lowered his eyes to meet mine, his Adam's apple bobbed, he blinked, and then seemed to take a deep breath.
“My heart was taken by your grandfather. That’s between me and him. It’s not because of you!” Fu Yanshen said to the girl in a deep voice.
His words struck my heart, one by one.
Was his heart replaced because of an injury? He lied to me?
Why would he give his heart to someone else?
"No, I remember. We were lovers. I have a heart condition, and you gave me your heart so that I could live!"
The girl clutched her chest and said excitedly.
I clenched my fists tightly, my fingertips digging deep into my palms, filled with resentment. "Fu Yanshen, you, you're finished..."
I was so angry I didn't have the strength to yell at him, so I said weakly to him.
The reason he so cruelly broke up with me more than two years ago was that he gave his heart to someone else... It wasn't because he was being chased by enemies, or because he was injured... He gave up his life willingly.
"Let me go!"
I broke free from him, but after taking just one step, he wrapped his arms around my waist from behind and hugged me tightly. "Qiaoqiao, you—"
At that moment, the door to the ward was pushed open from the outside.
A man in a sharp suit walked in, his posture upright like a pine tree, his features deep and his demeanor cold and austere.
I remember this person.
More than two years ago, he would show up whenever Fu Yanshen got into trouble.
The first time was after he kicked Shen Yu's genitals; the second time was when they were surrounded by warlords in northern Myanmar. Later, after Fu Yanshen divorced, he left Shengshi and went to Mingde Group, where he also seemed to have made an appearance...
"Brother Xiao," Fu Yanshen called out to him.
"Shen, I'm sorry to have troubled you." The man nodded and said calmly.
His gaze fell on the girl. "Miss An'an, let's go home."
His tone, though not angry, carried an air of authority, like a command.
"I'm not leaving!" the girl retorted, taking a step towards Fu Yanshen. "Brother Fu... you used to always protect me, have you really forgotten?"
Fu Yanshen hugged me, then took two steps away from her, saying, "You've got it wrong!"
"I didn't! You used to—"
Before the girl could finish speaking, a sharp aura approached, and the man called Brother Xiao walked up to her. "An'an, go back."
"I, no, I finally found him—it hurts!"
The man grabbed her wrist and dragged her toward the ward door.
"Brother Xiao, I don't want Miss Ye to bother me again," Fu Yanshen called out to the man's retreating figure.
The other person glanced back at him knowingly, then pulled the girl out of the ward.
"Fu Yanshen, let me go!" I struggled with all my might, shouting angrily.
He wrapped his arms tightly around my waist from behind. "Don't you believe me? This Ye An'an is out of her mind. I don't know her at all. I've only met her two or three times."
"Fu Yanshen! You lied to me!" I struggled against him violently, stomping my feet and yelling, turning my head to glare at him with resentment, "Why did you give your heart to someone else?!"
That's what makes me angry!
I'm not angry that he gave his heart to the girl who was bothering him earlier. He said it was for her grandfather, and I believe him.
What angers me the most is why he was willing to give up his own heart!
He didn't get into a car accident or contract a terminal illness.
The person behind me froze, and I took the opportunity to break free from him, turning around. "Say something!"
Then I remembered that what Shi Jin said before he died was true.
"Qiaoqiao, be good, it's all in the past..." Fu Yanshen came forward and opened his arms to hug me.
I stepped back. "That girl's grandfather, was he the powerful figure behind you?"
No wonder Shi Jin said that he no longer has any powerful backers protecting him.
No wonder he, a bodyguard who was orphaned and had no one to rely on, was able to make his fortune so quickly and had an unfathomable background.
Fu Yanshen looked at me and nodded. "The big boss gives me funds and resources, and I help him make money. Before I married you, I was already working for him."
"He even helped you get revenge, right?" I pressed him for an answer.
Fu Yanshen frowned slightly, hesitated, and nodded, "Yes."
"So, he helped you so much, and the price you paid was giving him your heart?" I asked again, clearly remembering that "Dad" had mentioned to me before that he must have paid a heavy price to bankrupt Shengshi.
Fu Yanshen turned his face away from me, his chest heaving, and his fists clenched.
I guessed right.
“Fu Yanshen, you’re willing to risk your own life for revenge…” I looked at his chest and grew even angrier.
I'm angry that he doesn't value his own life.
His heart used to be so healthy...
"You made this decision when you started taking revenge on Shengshi, didn't you?" I remembered something else and became even angrier.
Fu Yanshen turned to look at me, "Yes! Qiaoqiao, I—"
"You chose to die back then, so why did you still provoke me? You even took me to London for my last New Year, gave me hope, and got pregnant!"
"When you made this choice, you already gave up on me, so why are you still bothering me! You bastard!"
I screamed hysterically, tears streaming down my face.
Previously, I always thought that he had no choice, that his life was threatened, and that he had his own difficulties.
I never imagined it would be his own choice!
What about the previous life? He forced me to divorce my wife and marry Shi Xia, which was also to make me give up. In fact, he himself had already died.
