Chapter 168 He felt a little sleepy.
F Country, Lu Clan Headquarters
Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows of the top-floor office, the night was so thick it seemed impossible to see through.
Lu Lie leaned back in the expensive leather seat, his long fingers flipping through documents, his profile sharp and clean.
The door was knocked open.
The assistant strode in, his voice tinged with panic.
"Mr. Lu, Miss Cheng has gone missing."
Lu Lie tightened his grip on the pen, his knuckles turning white from the force.
He looked up, his eyes deep, but his face remained as cold as ever. "Where she wants to go is her freedom."
Yesterday, he personally took her to the hospital; the child has already been disposed of.
That ridiculous entanglement between him and her should come to an end.
He can't tell her where she wants to go.
The assistant stood there, not leaving, hesitant to speak, but finally mustered the courage to speak with difficulty.
"I heard from the doctor that Ms. Cheng... suddenly suffered a massive hemorrhage in the middle of last night, and the hospital performed a second surgery on her to save her life..."
"Her uterus was removed."
They removed her uterus!
These words struck Lu Lie's eardrums like a heavy hammer.
The pen in his hand snapped with a crack, breaking in two.
"Crack".
Something inside me shattered along with it.
He robbed her of the chance to be a mother forever!
The broken pen tip pierced his palm, drawing blood from his skin.
He was completely unaware of it.
Upon seeing the glaring red, the assistant exclaimed, "Mr. Lu, your hand!"
"Get out!" His voice was so cold it could drop ice crystals.
The assistant dared not say anything more and immediately left.
A deathly silence fell over the office.
Lu Lie suddenly stood up and walked to the window. He could no longer maintain that calm facade.
My head was buzzing, filled with her heart-wrenching curses from yesterday.
"Lu Lie, you're a devil! You want to destroy everyone, whether they love you or love you!"
"If your senior sister dies, it's because you forced her to. You'll definitely regret it! You deserve it for the rest of your life!"
"Senior sister, I don't love him anymore..."
Blood dripped from his palm through his fingers, leaving a small, dark red stain on the expensive Persian carpet.
It was as if a bloody hole had been forcibly carved into his hardened heart.
Knock knock.
The door was pushed open again, and Feng Jun rushed in anxiously.
"Senior brother, my men have found senior sister!"
He quickly stepped forward and handed his phone to Lu Lie, where a video was playing on the screen.
Amidst the swirling snow, Gu Xingnian's frail body knelt in the snow, her face deathly pale.
She cut her wrist, and the bright red blood was being fed drop by drop into Fu Beichen's mouth.
She was truly using her own blood to prolong his life.
The blood flowed for a long, long time, just like her life, slowly slipping away.
He let go.
The phone crashed to the ground with a "thud," and the screen shattered into pieces instantly.
Feng Jun's tone was almost pleading, "Senior brother, please help senior sister! If this continues, she will die!"
"That was her stupidity!" Lu Lie turned around abruptly and roared at him.
His eyes were filled with intense hatred, as if he wanted to devour people.
"She can't save Fu Beichen! Why would she do something so stupid!"
"Because she is Goddess N!" Feng Jun also raised his voice.
"She can't just stand by and watch someone die! Senior brother, have you forgotten her principles? If it were you or me in this situation today, she would have done the same without hesitation!"
Yes, how could he forget?
That day, he asked her in person if she would still save him if he killed Fu Beichen.
Her answer was yes. Besides, that was the man she had loved for so long.
Seeing his pained expression, Feng Jun took another step forward, his voice hoarse.
"Senior brother, are you really prepared? What if we lose senior sister..."
He dared not continue speaking.
Lu Lie didn't dare to think any further. He didn't dare to imagine what the world would be like if he lost her.
Just like she couldn't face a world without Fu Beichen.
His heart was being torn apart by an invisible hand, and all that remained in the air was his heavy breathing.
After a while.
He finally managed to squeeze out a few words, his voice terribly hoarse.
"Prepare the private jet for Maduri!"
That evening, the snow in Maduri suddenly stopped.
The night sky remained a hazy gray, as if covered by a gray cloth, stingy enough not to reveal even a single star.
Gu Xingnian nestled in Fu Beichen's arms. He smelled wonderfully of fir trees, which made her feel inexplicably at ease.
She sniffed, then reached her little hand out of her warm pocket and pointed to the horizon.
"Fu Beichen, there are some stars over there, they're very bright." Her voice was filled with childlike excitement.
Fu Beichen's large hand landed on her head, gently rubbing and messing up her soft hair.
"The snow has just stopped and we can already see the stars. It seems that only Maduri can enjoy this kind of treatment."
His words carried a teasing smile.
Gu Xingnian muttered defiantly, "Am I not Xing'er? Wherever I am, there are stars, right?"
The curve of his lips deepened, and his deep voice resonated in her ear.
"That's right, you are the brightest star. You shine your light on the world, which is a blessing for all."
His words had a hidden meaning, yet they warmed her heart.
She turned her head, looked up at his sharply defined jawline, and asked cautiously, "Fu Beichen, is there anything else you really want to do but haven't finished yet?"
Yes.
She was asking him what his wish was.
He thought about it seriously for a moment, then nodded. "There are actually two."
She immediately pressed, "What is it?"
"N Goddess never accepted my request before. I've been trying to add her for a long time, and I don't know if she'll accept it now."
Gu Xingnian was stunned, then she burst out laughing, her eyes crinkling into crescents.
"No problem. I'll add it for you when I get to the room."
"This time, I'm taking the initiative to add you. Are you satisfied?"
Fu Beichen reached out, his warm fingertips caressing her cool little face, and gently pinched it.
"Very satisfied, thank you N God."
Feeling a sweet warmth in her heart, she asked again, "What about the last one?"
He hesitated for a moment, then asked gently, "Do you still have the necklace that was blessed under the sacred tree before?"
"Yes, I always wear it." She said, taking the platinum necklace out from the neckline of her sweater.
He said, "Take that ring off."
She obediently unfastened the clasp and took off the ring set with pink diamonds.
Suddenly, her fingertips paused as she noticed three English letters engraved on the inside of the ring.
GXN.
This is?
He took the ring and then took her right hand.
The cool metal touched her skin as he slowly slipped the ring onto the ring finger of her right hand.
The ring size was perfect! Not too loose, not too tight, as if it were tailor-made for her.
Her heart skipped a beat.
This is the pink diamond worth one billion that he bought at the auction.
Is this the one that Jiang Kexin has been longing for and has always wanted?
So, GXN... is Gu Xingnian?
Was this custom-made for her?
He held her hand, his large palm completely enveloping her small hand, then lowered his head and placed a gentle kiss on her knuckles.
“I’ve always wanted to put it on you myself, Niannian, thank you for giving me this opportunity.”
Her eyes instantly welled up with tears.
A long-standing question suddenly came to mind: "That day, at the Starry Night Restaurant, were you proposing to Jiang Kexin?"
He paused for a moment, then reached out and hugged her, saying earnestly,
"Everything that day was prepared for you. I've explained it to you before; it was a misunderstanding."
"But you called out 'Xin'er'."
“Yes,” he admitted. “At that time, I had just remembered Xing’er from when I was a child, the Xing’er I called, the Xing of stars.”
"I want to tell her that I've missed her for so many years, and I don't want to miss her again."
So, that night... was really prepared for her.
Tears could no longer be held back and silently streamed down my face.
He knew she was sad, so he tightened his arms and pulled her into his embrace, resting his chin on the top of her head.
"If there is another opportunity in the future..."
He stopped halfway through his sentence, not daring to hope for anything more.
A drop of warm liquid suddenly landed on her cheek.
She touched it subconsciously, and her fingertips were covered in scarlet blood.
She looked up abruptly, frantically took out a tissue, and pressed it against his bleeding nose.
"Fu Beichen!"
He gently patted her back to comfort her, "It's okay, don't worry."
"I'm just a little tired."
He leaned against her, feeling all the strength draining from his body, his eyelids drooping weakly.
He felt a little sleepy...
