Chapter 89 Trust, Liu Yan's Love Joke
Gu Mingxia glanced at Xiao Yan, then remained silent.
Ever since she overheard Gu Huaikun and Lin Fu's conversation outside the ward that day, she has never been to the hospital again.
Neither Gu Huaikun nor Lin Fu called her again, perhaps because they knew, or perhaps because they didn't. In any case, they didn't call again, and Gu Mingxia didn't call either. It seemed that things had reached a stalemate.
She tried her best not to think about it, but now that Xiao Yan had suddenly asked her this, Gu Mingxia didn't know how to answer him for a moment. Should she tell him that she had discovered that Gu Huaikun and Lin Fu had conspired to deceive her, and that she had slept with him because she was disappointed, sad and upset after she found out?
She felt it was best never to mention such a thing in her life, even though she now understood that she had never forgotten Xiao Yan, after all, he was her first love, the first person she fell in love with!
Holding Liu Yan beside her, Gu Mingxia felt a warmth in her heart. She knew that no matter what happened, the person beside her would never deceive her and would always stay by her side to support her!
"He has someone to take care of him, so I don't need to go every day!"
Without revealing that she had discovered Gu Huaikun had lied to her, Gu Mingxia reached out and wiped away Liu Yan's tears. Then, feeling somewhat tired, she leaned back in her chair and rubbed her temples, trying to ease the irritation in her heart.
"Xiaxia, what are your plans... for dealing with Fu Heng's situation?"
After thinking for a long time, Xiao Yan still said those words. Gu Mingxia was stunned, then sat up straight, but looked out the window. After a long while, Xiao Yan heard Gu Mingxia's somewhat ethereal voice.
"Little Swallow, you don't believe me anymore, do you?"
Really? Has he started to distrust her? Xiao Yan suddenly felt a pang of panic. When exactly did he begin to feel so insecure about his place in Gu Mingxia's heart?
Xiao Yan's hands seemed to tremble slightly as he drove. Did he not believe that Xia Xia only had him in her heart? Or did he not believe that Xia Xia, who was so outstanding, only loved him?
Seven years... Time flies by in the blink of an eye. This fleeting time brought Xiao Yan success, but it also widened the distance between him and Gu Mingxia!
Time and distance seem to be obstacles to feelings forever. They have overcome the obstacles brought by time and distance, but it seems that they have not been able to cross the chasm in their hearts!
Xiao Yan understood that the worst thing for a relationship is doubt. Once the seed of doubt is planted, it will slowly take root and sprout, turning two people who were originally in love into people who doubt each other. They will explain while doubting and doubt while explaining. In this way, the relationship will slowly degenerate into something that is neither satisfying nor worth giving up.
Does he really want this? Does he really want his Xiaxia to go from loving each other to loving each other and killing each other? Xiao Yan kept asking himself this question. Every time he thought about the possibility of her becoming a stranger to him, he felt his blood freeze. He could never accept such an outcome!
The only way to prevent this from happening is through absolute trust. No matter what, there should be no doubt between people. Only 100% trust can maintain the relationship that they regained after seven years.
When this thought popped into Xiao Yan's mind, he slammed on the brakes, causing Gu Mingxia to pause abruptly. She looked up and met Xiao Yan's gaze as he turned around and looked at her intently.
"Xiaxia, I'm sorry! I promise this is the last time. From now on, I will trust you completely and will never interfere in anything you do again!"
A woman like Gu Mingxia is not someone you can hold onto just because you have doubts. Only by giving her complete freedom and trust will she be willing to give you her heart!
Seven years ago, Xiao Yan was able to understand this principle, so why did he suddenly lose confidence seven years later?
In this world, the person most compatible with Xiaxia will always be himself. No one else can give Xiaxia the life she wants. Once Xiao Yan understood this, the pent-up anger in his heart disappeared.
After saying that, he gave Gu Mingxia a sincere smile. Gu Mingxia was taken aback, then reached out and pinched his cheek, her eyes also showing a relieved smile.
"Yes, if you don't let me down, I will never let you down!"
Xiao Yan was taken aback, then reached out and took Gu Mingxia's small hand, raised it to his lips and gently kissed it.
I won't let you down!
"Okay, focus on driving!"
The oppressive atmosphere in the car dissipated. Xiao Yan felt much more relaxed after letting go of his inner turmoil. However, Gu Mingxia's heart was in turmoil. Fu Heng... Fu Heng, how should she treat Fu Heng?
If she hadn't impulsively agreed to be his girlfriend back then, would she be in this predicament today?
There's no going back in this world. No matter how much Gu Mingxia regrets her past actions, she can't change the current situation. She does owe Fu Heng an explanation, but she can't bring herself to ask why she married Bai Zixuan. Frowning helplessly, she can only comfort herself by thinking that she'll take it one step at a time and eventually find a solution.
Xiao Yan took Liu Yan to her villa. Gu Mingxia helped the somewhat drowsy Liu Yan and placed her on the sofa. Then, looking at Xiao Yan, she stood on tiptoe and touched his lips.
"It's getting late, you should go home and get some rest too. You don't need to pick me up tomorrow!"
"Okay, remember to call me if anything comes up tonight!"
Xiao Yan hugged Gu Mingxia, gave her a few words of advice with concern, and then left reluctantly.
Seeing Liu Yan reeking of alcohol, Gu Mingxia felt helpless. She sat on the sofa, took off Liu Yan's high heels, and then went to the bathroom to wring out a damp towel and gently wiped away the tear stains on Liu Yan's face.
"Liu Yan... Liu Yan?"
"Huh? Xiaxia, what brings you here?"
Liu Yan opened her drowsy eyes and looked at Gu Mingxia with some surprise. She was already slightly drunk, and had fallen asleep in the car because she was feeling upset. Now, after Gu Mingxia wiped her with a wet towel, she became much more awake.
"Don't ask me, tell me about yourself. I've been quite busy lately and haven't been able to see you much. You... has something happened? At the party earlier, I saw you talking to a strange woman, and you seemed quite agitated!"
After Gu Mingxia spoke to her, Liu Yan sat up, slumped down, and let her long, straight hair fall smoothly in front of her. Gu Mingxia didn't know what had happened, but she still gently patted her back.
"Liu Yan, you should know that no matter what happens, I will be by your side!"
For a long time, Liu Yan remained silent. Just as Gu Mingxia was about to speak, Liu Yan suddenly looked up, swept all her hair back, and her face was covered in tears.
"Xiaxia, do you know what? I received news about Yunqi these past few days!"
"Isn't that great? You've waited for him for so many years, and now you finally have news about him. You should be happy!"
Gu Mingxia looked at Liu Yan with great confusion. This girl was devoted to Zhang Yunqi to the end. Liu Yan should not be in such pain after hearing the news about Zhang Yunqi!
"But do you know what? The people who told me about Yunqi all said that he got married and had children in South Africa a long time ago, and the children are already in kindergarten! Xiaxia... how could he do such a thing?"
Gu Mingxia was stunned by Liu Yan's words. Zhang Yunqi was the most praised young master among the wealthy families in Xiangcheng. He never had any scandals with anyone. He met Liu Yan when he was sixteen and they dated for ten years until four years ago when he mysteriously disappeared. At that time, the Zhang family thought he had been kidnapped, but after reporting it to the police, they searched for more than a year without any news and had no choice but to give up.
Liu Yan is the only one still holding on to her wait. She even opened a waiting bar just to keep herself occupied and pass the time during the long wait. But now someone tells her that Zhang Yunqi is living a very happy life in South Africa. He is not only married but also has a three-year-old child. This tells Liu Yan that Zhang Yunqi had other women outside of their relationship when they were together!
"Liu Yan...is the information wrong? Yun Qi...he shouldn't be that kind of person! You've been with him for ten years, don't you know what kind of person he is?"
"But it's precisely because you know me that I think this news might be true! You all don't know, when Yunqi encounters something difficult that he can't solve, he chooses to run away! But Xiaxia, if he really has someone else outside and doesn't love me anymore, he should just tell me directly. You know me, I definitely won't make things difficult for him. But why does he have to solve it in this way? Do you know, just thinking about him living with his family of three in South Africa, while I'm still here waiting bitterly, makes me feel like the biggest joke in the world!"
Indeed, if you don't love someone anymore, you can just say so. Choosing to disappear like this is really cruel to the person who is completely unaware of the situation! Gu Mingxia was speechless for a moment because she didn't know how to comfort Liu Yan at all. She could only reach out and hug her, gently patting her back, like she was comforting a child.
"There are many people in this world who look like Liu Yan, but that person may not be Yun Qi. In the end, it's best to see things for yourself!"
"Xiaxia, why is he so cruel to me! Look at your Xiao Yan, although he was missing for seven years, he finally came back, didn't he? If Yun Qi could come back, I would be willing to wait for him for fourteen years, let alone fourteen!"
Liu Yan cried loudly in Gu Mingxia's arms, as if she wanted to cry out all the grievances she had suffered over the past four years. Gu Mingxia patted her back without saying another word. She knew better than anyone the pain of waiting for someone like this!
After crying for a while, Liu Yan suddenly sat up straight, wiped away her tears, and looked at Gu Mingxia with a serious and resolute expression.
"I've decided to go to South Africa tomorrow. Whether it's true or not, I'm going to see it for myself. If it's true, then I'll give up on this idea!"
