Chapter 956 Let’s Gamble
Gu Wanqiu didn't want to make Mrs. Liu worry, so she forced herself to cheer up, but her face was too pale. Even if she smiled hard, she looked listless and her attention was not focused. When the doctor came to check on her and told her about the precautions, she always missed a few words and never heard it all. Fortunately, Mrs. Liu was there to take notes.
Gu Wanqiu sleeps most of the day. When the lights are turned off at night, she looks like she is asleep, but she keeps her eyes open looking at the dark night.
Sometimes the sound of the curtains blowing in the night wind would startle her. She was worried that the slightest noise she made would wake up Mrs. Liu, so no matter how scared she was, she would grit her teeth and endure it, and would not say anything even if it hurt.
How can she still be the spoiled young lady she used to be?
It was a pitch-black night, so dark that you couldn't see your hand in front of you. When people couldn't sleep, they would start to have wild thoughts, all of which were the things that frightened them the most, such as a strand of hair falling from somewhere, a drop of blood, a hand reaching out from under the bed, a face emerging from the back, a doll crawling out from under the quilt... They would think of all kinds of horrors and scare themselves.
But what scares Gu Wanqiu the most is not these imaginary ghosts, but Li Jinxing.
During the day, she had already found out from Zhou Yi and He Tian that Li Jinxing was not dead yet.
When the news of Li Jinxing's death first broke, Gu Wanqiu didn't believe it. She had been with Li Jinxing day and night for so many years, and she knew how capable this man was.
There is a saying that goes, often the person who knows you best is your enemy, and this is really true.
In Gu Wanqiu's opinion, how could someone like Li Jinxing die so easily? She must have faked her own death with Liu Zibo's help and escaped. Or, from the beginning, the people above had no intention of locking Li Jinxing up and letting him get into trouble. He had ways to protect himself.
She could figure these things out, so after being told that Li Jinxing was dead, her first reaction was not relief but nervousness, panic, and fear. When she relaxed, Li Jinxing would suddenly jump out from a corner and appear in front of her.
When she saw He Tian and Zhou Yi holding the urn, she also tried to deceive herself, not to be afraid, maybe Li Jinxing was really dead, and now that he was dead, she could live a peaceful life in the future without any worries.
Unfortunately, fantasy is always fantasy. Once the fantasy is awakened, you can only live in reality. It is impossible to deceive yourself.
Li Jinxing was not dead. He was the one who saved her from Liu Zibo.
She should be grateful for being rescued, but after knowing that it was Li Jinxing, she was left with only resistance and fear in her heart. She wanted to leave here and go far away.
She knew too well Li Jinxing's methods of revenge. If he hadn't died and had come back, her future would be clear.
Li Jinxing said a long time ago that he would build a "castle" for her and lock her inside with chains. He said "castle" just to make it sound nice, but in reality it was a prison.
How would Li Jinxing treat her?
The more Gu Wanqiu thought about it, the more frightened she became. She could hardly control her body's trembling. Her teeth made a slight noise as they clashed together, and her breathing became intermittent. Fortunately, Mrs. Liu's breathing was steady, so she must have fallen asleep.
Gu Wanqiu clenched her fists and bit her fingers, trying to use the pain to keep herself awake.
Thinking about what happened during the day, she didn't know if she could get through this difficult time.
The unexpected loss of her child made her sad, but not to the point where she was unable to get over it and fell into an emotional overload.
What really made her so emotional was that she was absolutely sure that Li Jinxing was not dead.
Li Jinxing is out of prison, so what should she do?
Gu Wanqiu put herself in Li Jinxing's shoes. If she were him, she would strip that person of his skin and flesh after escaping death if he deceived her like this.
This is probably what Li Jinxing is thinking now.
After he left the prison, he must have been following her and knew that she was pregnant and planned to have an abortion. Otherwise, he would not have been able to find her and rescue her so quickly when she just came out of the hospital and was taken away by Liu Zibo.
Did Li Jinxing still have some feelings for her? Obviously not... Li Jinxing saved her just because he thought he could continue playing with her in the future, and simply didn't want to play with what others had already played with.
Just thinking about it for a moment, Gu Wanqiu felt a chill on his back and his body began to tremble in the quilt again, like a sieve.
She couldn't do anything during the day. The only thing she could do was to express her reluctance to part with her child, the pain of a mother losing her child, and her old thoughts about Li Jinxing.
Her various behaviors will definitely be reported to Li Jinxing by He Tian and others.
She was also gambling that Li Jinxing would soften his heart and let her go for a while, so that he would not have any extra thoughts on her.
After Gu Wanqiu finished her quiet analysis, she made another bold decision.
Li Jinxing is still a "dead man" and it will take a long time for him to come up with a new identity. He Tian and Zhou Yi are trying their best to conceal it, which means that it is not convenient for Li Jinxing to come out now.
There are many people targeting the Li family now. He needs to secretly recover the lost property and deal with so many people. The time and energy required will not be spared for her, so...
