Ji Shuyu was busy in the kitchen with joy, because Gu Xiuyuan, who had been on a business trip for a week, was finally coming back.
This man with a picky taste must have lost weight after being away from home for so long.
She was so busy that she didn't even bother to take care of her cut finger. Looking at this dish she had secretly practiced for a long time, imagining his surprise when he ate it, her eyes were filled with happiness...
The door was pushed open, and her eyes lit up as she saw the man walking quickly towards her.
"Xiuyuan~" Ji Shuyu called out and walked towards him with a happy face.
"Xiao Yu, Yan Yan's surgery requires spare blood, please prepare it."
The steps that ran towards him were stopped.
Looking at the solemn-looking man in front of her, her happy smile froze inch by inch, and her blank brain took a long time to react.
He said...Su Yan?
When did she come back!
Ji Shuyu's heart sank suddenly, and she suddenly understood why he suddenly became "busy".
So, he was not on a business trip this week, but was with Su Yan.
Instantly, her heart felt as if it were ripped open, and cold air rushed in. She swayed unsteadily, and the blood that had gathered at her fingertips suddenly fell.
Snap——
A blur of blood spread across the snow-white clothes.
Gu Xiuyuan paused.
"So, you're with Su Yan this week?" She trembled slightly.
The steps that were about to move forward stopped, and the words that were about to be spoken were blocked by her words.
Gu Xiuyuan frowned, a hint of displeasure flashed in his deep eyes: Is this the time to care about these things?
Could it be that she didn't hear that Su Yan needed surgery?
"If Su Yan didn't have a special blood type and our blood type happened to be the same, would you never come back?" She suppressed the trembling in her voice and looked at him with red eyes.
Gu Xiuyuan frowned, dissatisfied with her inability to distinguish between important and urgent matters, "Yanyan's situation is a bit urgent..."
"Whether her surgery is urgent or not, what does it have to do with me?!" Ji Shuyu's tone suddenly became fierce.
These days, he has been with Su Yan all the time?
When I was foolishly thinking about him and didn't even care about his pain, he was actually in love with Su Yan!
Having long been accustomed to her gentleness, Gu Xiuyuan's face darkened slightly when he saw her suddenly become so fierce and sharp, and his voice became a little colder. "I want to discuss this with you."
Oh……
"discuss?"
The first thing he said when he came back was to ask her to prepare. Was it a discussion?
How could he be so cruel? After betraying her, he still had the nerve to ask her to use her own blood to save...that woman!
"I don't agree!" The humiliation of being betrayed made her unable to control her emotions.
Looking at Ji Shuyu who suddenly became sharp and indifferent, the tenderness in Gu Xiuyuan's eyes gradually disappeared, leaving only indifference.
He had long known that she was hostile to Su Yan, but he had never thought that she would even ignore something like "help me".
"What will it take for you to help her?" Gu Xiuyuan asked, suppressing his anger. "I won't let you 'sacrifice' in vain. If you have any conditions, you can ask me."
Ji Shuyu's body suddenly shook.
They are husband and wife, aren't they?
Why did he put her in opposition to the two of them? And even bribed her with "conditions". Why did he always see Su Yan as "greedy" when he met her?
Haha, she smiled bitterly and tilted her head to look at the man with a cold expression.
"Any conditions are acceptable?"
For Su Yan, he didn't even add any prerequisites?
"Any conditions are fine."
Gu Xiuyuan's brows furrowed even tighter, and his gaze on her was almost frozen.
It’s really cold.
"Okay!" Ji Shuyu took a deep breath and stood up. "Then let's end our relationship!"
After two years of secret marriage, she was fed up with this "hidden relationship".
Gu Xiuyuan was a little bit incredulous, "What?!"
At this time, she still thinks about these things?
"I want you to announce our marriage, and I want you to admit that I am..."
"Impossible." He flatly refused, "Yan Yan can't be provoked now."
It’s Su Yan again!
The momentum she had just built up was instantly crushed, her heart twitched, and she was in so much pain that she couldn't breathe.
"But I just want this."
"I said it's impossible!" Gu Xiuyuan was already angry.
"Then I won't agree to a blood transfusion for her!!" She yelled, stung by his repeated refusal, her eyes red as she stared at him. "Didn't you say she's anxious? Then you can take your time to consider it, as long as...she can wait."
Gu Xiuyuan stared at her coldly, anger surging in his eyes, and the cold aura emanating from his body almost froze the air.
The atmosphere was so oppressive that it was suffocating, and then his cell phone rang.
Looking at the incoming call, he picked it up and turned around quickly.
The pressure around her disappeared, and Ji Shuyu felt a little weak.
Watching the man hurriedly leaving, her heart ached.
Is it Su Yan who is the only one who can make him so anxious?
Bang!
Ji Shuyu was shaken by the sound of the door slamming, and she managed to steady herself by holding onto the stove.
Her hand touched the soup pot and she gasped in pain.
Tears instantly wet my eyes.
"Miss, are you okay?"
Auntie heard the sound and came out, looking at her worriedly.
The young lady has always been gentle. I have worked in the Gu family for several years, and I have never seen her lose control like this.
Ji Shuyu shook her head helplessly, looking at the person with red eyes through the reflection in the glass.
Is this still her?
How could a name make her so embarrassed?
Why...that's Su Yan, the woman Gu Xiuyuan holds dearest to his heart.
…
Ji Shuyu was stunned for a long time, watching the steam from the meal she had been busy preparing all morning gradually dissipate before she threw the food away. Then, she restored the kitchen to its original appearance bit by bit, as if she had never been happy to work for him before.
As it grew darker, she sat on the stairs, lost in thought as she stared at the house that had suddenly become lifeless.
Today, the house was eerily quiet, as if it had returned to the beginning of our marriage.
She was afraid of the silence and turned up the TV very loud, so when Gu Xiuyuan's name appeared on the news, the aunt didn't have time to turn off the TV.
She saw Gu Xiuyuan rushing into the hospital holding Su Yan.
She had never seen such an anxious look before.
If it were her, would he be so anxious?
She recalled the last time she was involved in a serious traffic accident.
The man who tragically died in the car accident was less than half a meter away from her. She lay in a pool of blood, but her phone call to him was unanswered...
If that call could be connected, would he be so anxious? Or would he just reply: What does it have to do with me?
As she thought about it, her heart suddenly ached and she reflexively covered her chest.
They had clearly reconciled, so why did they return to their original cold state overnight?
Is it because Su Yan is back?
…
She didn't remember how long she had been sitting there. When she stood up woodenly and went back to her room, she habitually went into the cloakroom.
When she mechanically hung out the matched clothes, she suddenly remembered the quarrel today.
Tears welled up instantly...
For two years, she had been doing this day after day, meticulously taking care of his daily life. Even though he was so busy that he only came back once every few days, and even though he never paid any attention to what she did, she still stubbornly persisted...
She thought that if she did well enough, he would see her; she thought that if she did well enough, they could return to the way they were at the beginning.
But... it's no use.
In front of Su Yan, all her efforts were not worth mentioning.
Her heart suddenly ached so much that she bent over in pain and finally cried out in pain...
…
It was already early morning when Gu Xiuyuan returned. He glanced at the sofa out of habit, then hurried upstairs...
