Chapter 137 Feelings Heat Up, They Sleep Together
In the end, Gu Xingnian learned the truth from Lin Qi about why Fu Beichen had protected Wang Huilan.
Lin Qi recounted the whole story of Durano in detail.
Every word felt like a heavy hammer blow to Gu Xingnian's heart.
A tremendous wave of emotion surged within her, leaving her utterly shocked.
She never imagined that behind his seemingly incomprehensible and painful forbearance lay such a truth.
To protect her, he endured her misunderstanding and that bloody bite.
Suddenly, a sentence came to mind: If it weren't for love, who would be willing to be an enemy of the world?
Seeing her expression, Lin Qi quickly added, "Also, Wang Huilan... Wang Huilan has been personally sent to jail by President Fu. It was evidence that President Fu had gathered again. The lawyer said she should be sentenced to at least ten years."
Gu Xingnian just stared at him blankly, her face full of disbelief, unable to say a word.
It turns out, he had secretly avenged the child!
She turned around blankly and walked out step by step.
My eyes welled up with tears, my vision blurred, and my heart was in complete turmoil.
In the evening, after dinner and washing up, Gu Xingnian checked her emails on the computer.
Fu Beichen suddenly knocked on the door and said he wanted to take her somewhere.
She didn't refuse and got into the car with him.
About half an hour later, they arrived at a bay where the sky was high and the land was vast, the stars were shining brightly, and there was a small hill nearby.
Indeed, this is the famous Firefly Cave in Maduri, and it truly lives up to its reputation.
The entrance to the cave is not large, but once you step inside, the space opens up dramatically.
Fireflies danced in the sky, their emerald green lights flickering on and off, as if they had shattered the starry sky and scattered it across this small world.
Outside the cave, someone had set up a tent in advance, with soft cushions and some snacks and drinks placed next to it, and soft music drifting in the distance.
Fu Beichen led her to sit down on the cushion.
He turned his head to look at her; the girl's eyes were brighter than fireflies, reflecting dappled light, and she was unbelievably beautiful.
A sense of happiness almost overflowed from Fu Beichen's heart.
His Adam's apple bobbed, and his voice was a little hoarse.
"Nian Nian".
"Hmm?" She turned around and met his deep eyes.
"Thank you." He paused, then spoke each word clearly, "You've protected me for twelve years."
It's not a confession of love.
It's gratitude.
Gu Xingnian was stunned for a moment, feeling somewhat unaccustomed to the sudden gratitude.
"Fu Beichen," she leaned closer, examining him closely, "has something happened to you?"
His eyes darted away for a moment, then he regained his usual composure.
"No! No one here can hurt me." As arrogant as ever.
"Niannian," he suddenly called out, his voice deep and resonant in the darkness, "Can we... make peace?"
He didn't know that Lin Qi had told her about it, but he was constantly yearning for her forgiveness.
Even if she no longer loves him, at least she doesn't hate him.
Gu Xingnian looked at him in confusion, not understanding what reconciliation meant. The hatred in her heart had been resolved, and she was now completely calm towards him.
"Please don't hate me anymore, okay?" His eyes were filled with deep affection and pleading, seemingly sincere.
"Fu Beichen, thank you for coming to Maduli, thank you for everything you've done for me." She said each word carefully, then smiled with relief, "I don't hate you anymore!"
He added, "Really!"
She was truly grateful for his forbearance and protection, for taking a bullet for her, and for every time he stood up for her...
If such a word of forgiveness can put his mind at ease, she will not hesitate to forgive him.
But he never understood that the greatest distance in the world is not between love and hate, but between two people who are most familiar with each other gradually becoming strangers...
"I hope that next year, we can still be here together, watching the stars." He looked at her from the side, his gaze etched into her eyes.
It seemed like a very simple wish, but for him, it was a luxury.
Gu Xingnian shifted her gaze to the dancing fireflies.
May time be kind to all those who love me and those I love, and may they be safe and healthy.
She made a wish while looking up at the stars.
"Fu Beichen, thank you." This time it was her turn to express her gratitude. "Back then, you pulled me out of the river. You were more radiant than fireworks."
She glanced at him sideways, her beautiful eyes sparkling with starlight and a hint of tenderness.
Fu Beichen's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he wanted to reach out and hold her hand.
Gu Xingnian dodged the hand and looked at the starry sky, as if she was thinking about something.
"Do you...want to find...your biological parents?" he suddenly asked.
"My parents are like my second parents." Gu Xingnian will always be grateful. "As for everything else, I'll leave it to fate."
She is not attached to her biological parents. She hated them when she was a child, but she no longer cares about them as she grew up.
Looking at her serene expression, Fu Beichen's heart began to race.
The two lay side by side on the soft cushions, not saying a word, with the "starry sky" above them and each other's breathing beside them.
A gentle night breeze, carrying the slight saltiness of the sea, made people drowsy.
The atmosphere was indeed quite wonderful.
After an unknown amount of time, Gu Xingnian drifted off to sleep.
Fu Beichen gently picked her up.
His arms were strong, and his embrace was warm and firm. Gu Xingnian snuggled against him, found a comfortable position, and continued to sleep.
He carefully carried her into the tent and covered her with a thin blanket.
Gazing at her peaceful sleeping face, Fu Beichen's eyes surged with intense emotions: passion, reluctance, and despair.
Suddenly, he turned around abruptly and rushed out of the tent like a wild beast out of control.
Under the cover of night, he rushed to a nearby cliff face.
"Bang!"
"Bang! Bang!"
He swung his fist and slammed it hard against the hard rock.
Once, twice, three times.
The fist was quickly torn open, bleeding profusely.
But he couldn't feel any pain, not even a little bit.
"Young Master Fu!"
"Mr. Fu!"
Several bodyguards who had been hiding in the shadows were shocked and rushed out, grabbing his arms tightly and trying to pull him away.
"Let me go!"
Fu Beichen's eyes were bloodshot, and his voice was hoarse beyond recognition. The virus had caused him to lose control once again!
The next day.
Gu Xingnian opened her eyes and was greeted by a large, warm embrace.
She and he actually... slept in the same bed.
His arm went around her neck and gently embraced her; the two of them were covered only by a thin blanket.
His handsome face was close enough to touch, his breathing even, as if he were fast asleep.
Gu Xingnian's heart skipped a beat uncontrollably.
In the past, although they had been intimate, he would always get up and go to another room to rest afterward.
He never shared a bed with her.
At this moment, everything has subtly changed.
Those things buried deep in her heart seem to be sprouting anew.
She didn't dare to think too much, gently lifted the blanket, got up, and practically fled the scene.
After she left, Fu Beichen slowly opened his eyes, his deep gaze revealing a hint of clarity, and a barely perceptible smile played at the corners of his lips.
On the way back.
Gu Xingnian didn't say anything, but just leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes.
She appeared to be pretending to be asleep, but in reality, her mind was in turmoil.
Fu Beichen turned his head to look at her, his gaze excessively intense, lingering on her body, burning hot.
Gu Xingnian felt uncomfortable under his gaze and nervously clenched her small fists.
What happened?
Why is she so uncomfortable?
She didn't know that after the deep hatred subsided, some things were truly changing.
Suddenly, the car made a sharp turn.
"ah!"
Gu Xingnian's body tilted uncontrollably to the right, falling straight into a warm and firm embrace.
The tip of my nose was filled with his fresh and pleasant scent.
Can you drive?
Fu Beichen's cold voice broke the ambiguous atmosphere in the car.
The driver was startled and quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, Mr. Fu! A kitten suddenly ran out, and I flinched."
Gu Xingnian's cheeks flushed, and she quickly broke free from his embrace, sat up straight, and hurriedly straightened her slightly disheveled clothes.
Out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of the back of his hand, which was covered with several bandages that were close to his skin tone.
She couldn't help but ask, "What happened to your hand?"
Upon hearing this, Fu Beichen raised his hands and looked at them, a hint of confusion in his eyes.
"I'm not sure," he said casually. "It was there when I woke up this morning. I thought you put it there."
He had completely forgotten the near-out-of-control rage he had experienced in the middle of the night.
Because there is no pain sensation, one naturally cannot feel the injury on their hand.
Gu Xingnian looked at his innocent expression and found it hard to believe.
"Aren't you in pain?"
He twitched the corner of his mouth and said in a relaxed tone, "Ouch."
"Maybe he was beaten up in his dream?"
Gu Xingnian: "..."
She never spoke again.
Why is this man getting stranger and stranger?
I was just teasing her.
Back at the villa.
Gu Xingnian dashed upstairs as if a raging flood was chasing her.
Fu Beichen watched her flee in panic, his eyes darkening.
He turned and went into the kitchen, took a bottle of water from the refrigerator, and drank it down.
Lin Qi suddenly appeared out of nowhere, sidled up to him, and asked with a fawning expression, "President Fu, how was yesterday...?"
Fu Beichen glanced at him but ignored him.
But Lin Qi, observing Fu's expression, saw that there was no displeasure between Fu's brows; on the contrary, Fu seemed to be in a good mood, and he was secretly pleased.
It seems I played my part in the assist fairly well. I'll need to put more thought into planning more time alone together in the future.
Suddenly, he felt conflicted again.
I wonder if President Fu's poison can be successfully cured. I really hope it won't be until his wife falls in love with him again...
Ptooey!
What are you thinking about!
"Slap!" Lin Qi couldn't help but raise his hand and slap himself.
Fu Beichen was drinking water when he suddenly saw Lin Qi slap him, and his lips twitched involuntarily.
He put down his water glass and strode away.
That look was like looking at a hopeless lunatic.
night.
Fu Beichen did not have dinner at the villa; he and Lin Qi went out on business.
Gu Xingnian sat alone at the large dining table, eating quite comfortably.
With that man gone, the air felt much fresher.
Suddenly, the phone screen lit up and a message popped up.
It was sent by Sheng Weiwei.
Sheng Weiwei: Niannian, do you still like Fu Beichen?
She replied: ?
Sheng Weiwei: Then come and catch them cheating, it's too disgusting!
She replied: ?
Sheng Weiwei: Hurry up and catch him! You'll get at least half of the property! I'm sending you my location.
She slowly put down her chopsticks...
