"I'm not only a jerk, but also a selfish jerk." He laughed, "So, for someone like me, there's nothing I can't let go of."
He wanted to touch her face, but he raised his hand but didn't put it down. "Sign it!"
"Although you don't need our compensation right now, I will give you everything I owe you."
Ji Shuyu listened and suddenly laughed.
"Gu Xiuyuan, I gave you the chance..." She suppressed her tears, "It was you who pushed me away."
Gu Xiuyuan slowly clenched his hands.
"Once you sign this, life and death will no longer matter to you and me." She stared at him intently. "Even so, you still want me to sign, right?"
Gu Xiuyuan forced himself to look at her.
Her hand holding the pen was shaking a little, and she still tried to find the answer she wanted in his eyes, but ultimately failed.
Ji Shuyu looked at him for a long time, then picked up a pen and quickly signed her name.
Hearing the sound of the pen moving, Gu Xiuyuan almost couldn't help but raise his hand to stop it.
He almost blurted out "No", but in the end he swallowed it back. It was like a sharp blade, cutting through every nerve and causing pain...
He closed his eyes in pain.
Wife, I’m sorry.
Looking at the signed name on it, Ji Shuyu trembled in pain, and when she looked up, her eyes were already red.
"Young Madam..." Auntie came running over, "Young Master has a fever."
Ji Shuyu listened and ran out in a hurry.
As he watched the figure disappear, Gu Xiuyuan suddenly felt weak.
He trembled and leaned on the desk, his eyes red as he looked at the agreement.
He wanted to...wait a little longer.
I know I can’t delay it, but I still want to wait a little longer.
Even if it was just a few more days, even a few more minutes, or a few seconds, she was still his wife, they were still a family, his...lover.
No, she will always be his lover.
…
The baby had a fever and the family doctor rushed over, but at this time there was no other way except physical cooling.
Gu Xiuyuan changed his clothes and stood at the door of the baby room.
Looking at Ji Shuyu, who was so distressed and at a loss about what to do with her baby who had a fever, my heart felt like it was being torn apart.
"Boss." Zhou Rui said, "Otherwise..."
Gu Xiuyuan stood at the door. "Xiaoyu." He suppressed his trembling voice, "I have to go."
Ji Shuyu stared at him with red eyes, somewhat incredulous, but mostly disappointed.
"There's a doctor, don't worry." He took two steps forward and looked at the baby in the stroller.
His heart suddenly twitched, and his attempt to speak was instantly crushed, without him being able to utter a single syllable.
"I'm sorry, I can't be with you at this time."
He checked the time and turned around.
"Gu Xiuyuan." Ji Shuyu called him by his name calmly, "No matter what your reasons are, I will grant your wish."
Gu Xiuyuan's body stiffened violently. The gaze behind him was like a thorn, piercing through his body.
"I, let you go."
Gu Xiuyuan closed his eyes and uttered two words after a long time: "Thank you."
He strode out of the room.
Ji Shuyu raised her head and swallowed back the tears in her eyes.
In the elevator, Zhou Rui looked at his boss with some disapproval.
"Boss, if you don't stay with them at this time, the young lady... will be very disappointed."
"Yeah! I know that too."
This is exactly what he wants!
If he doesn't come when she and the baby need him, she will definitely be disappointed and angry. Maybe... she will remember this incident forever and even hate him.
That's just right.
The elevator opened and he stepped out.
When he was going down the stairs of the parking lot, he missed a step and the violent shock immediately made the tears fall from his eyes.
He held his chest tightly.
Wife, I’m sorry.
If I had any choice, I wouldn't want to let go.
Even if I were to die tomorrow, I still want you and the baby to accompany me through my final journey, but...
It's true that not all roads can be walked together.
I love you, but... I'm sorry.
…
In the baby's room, the two babies had fevers at the same time. They were so weak that they didn't even have the energy to cry.
The two aunts kept wiping the babies' chests and palms with warm towels. Ji Shuyu's eyes were red with heartache, and she also imitated the aunts and wiped their little hands and feet.
When the two babies had recurring high fevers, they could only be cooled down by repeated physical measures.
"Young Madam, please take a nap! We will take good care of you here."
Ji Shuyu shook her head, "It's okay."
When the two babies were sick before, she was unable to take care of them.
Now that they have returned home, how could she not care about them?
The baby had a fever, which lasted on and off until the afternoon of the next day when it finally stabilized.
Ji Shuyu was forced by her aunt to go to the bedroom to rest. The moment she lay on the bed, her heart suddenly tightened.
The pain comes slowly and is felt after a long time...
In the evening, Ji Shuyu started to have a fever and the fever-reducing injection did not help.
In a daze, Gu Xiuyuan's words kept echoing in her ears.
He said that seeing her reminded him of his mother.
He said he couldn't breathe seeing her.
He said, Xiaoyu, let’s get a divorce!
Ji Shuyu was dizzy from fever and heard an anxious voice beside her ear, feeling worried and distressed.
"Xiaoyu, I'm your mother."
Ji Shuyu opened her eyes dazedly, looked at the figure beside the bed, and choked with grievance: "Mom..."
…
Ji Shuyu was ill for three days and at one point couldn't even speak.
As soon as she felt better, she packed her simple luggage and prepared to leave Xiziwan with her baby.
From Yuyuan to Xiziwan, the ending is the same.
Maybe it was wrong from the beginning.
Looking at the ring on his hand, he slowly took it off, looked at it for a long time, and finally put it down.
"Young Madam..."
"Auntie, I'm not the young lady anymore." Ji Shuyu interrupted her aunt, "Thank you for taking care of me over the years. This is a personal gift from me to you."
"Wait until the gentleman comes back, then you can talk again..." Auntie held her hand and was reluctant to let go.
"I'm leaving now. Goodbye."
The Huo family sent someone to pick them up, and as they left, my aunt quickly called Gu Xiuyuan.
"Sir, when will you come back?" Auntie cried anxiously, "The young lady has moved away with the children..."
Outside Xizi Bay
Gu Xiuyuan was sitting in the car.
He watched the Huo family pack up their few belongings, watched her look around, and then get into the car.
The car door slowly closed and disappeared from his sight. He tried to reach out to stop it, but he only caught air.
She was sick. Did she feel better? Did she cry when she got the injection or took the medicine?
Xiaoyu, please don’t get sick in the future!
The car started slowly and he slowly caught up with her.
He wanted to be closer to her even in this way.
The car was stopped by a red light at the intersection.
He just watched the Huo family's car drive away, watching it slowly disappear from his sight, just like watching his beloved walk further and further away. When he wanted to catch up with her, he could no longer find any trace...
The pain numbed his heart and instantly made him lose all his strength.
He pressed his chest tightly and slowly leaned over the steering wheel, tears soaking his sleeves...
