Gu Weiwei looked at the man's deep and unfathomable expression, and her heart clenched tightly.
Just two hours ago, he was giving her a sweet surprise and proposing marriage, but tonight, she gave him such a heavy and cruel answer.
After a long silence between them, she spoke up.
"I'm sorry for lying to you for so long."
Fu Hanzheng sighed deeply. If he had known this was the answer, he would have preferred never to have known.
"You've been refusing to tell me all this time, so why are you telling me now?"
When he suspected her of having a connection with the Gu family, he tested her several times, thinking she would tell the truth.
However, she always avoided his questions.
Gu Weiwei held the ring on her ring finger, looking down at the diamond on the ring, as if it could give her some kind of power.
"Originally... I didn't want to tell you. I wanted to keep this secret until I died. But if I don't tell you today, someone else will."
"Others?" Fu Hanzheng looked at her, already vaguely guessing who the others he was referring to were.
Gu Weiwei sighed heavily and spoke frankly.
"It won't be long before Gu Siting finds out who I am and where I am. Even if I don't tell you, he will. I don't want you to find out all this from him."
She knew that he and Gu Siting had always been enemies, and now, because of her presence, there would be even more clashes between them.
If she hadn't told him all this now, and he had only learned it from Gu Siting, it would have hurt him even more.
Fu Hanzheng looked at the girl with a heavy expression in his deep phoenix eyes.
"Don't you want to go back to the Gu family?"
As far as he knew, when she was in the Gu family, she was always regarded as the apple of their eye and cherished by them.
Logically speaking, even if she became Mu Weiwei, she should have gone back to the Gu family, but she never seemed to have that thought.
Gu Weiwei turned her head to meet his gaze, tears welling up in her eyes.
Do you want me to go back to taking care of the family?
Is it because her surname is Gu that she can no longer stay?
"I don't want that," Fu Hanzheng blurted out.
Gu Weiwei pursed her lips and looked away, picked up her teacup and took a small sip, then lowered her eyes to look at the tea leaves floating in the cup.
“I’ve already died once in the Gu family’s house. My body is still in the Gu family’s basement. That place… can I ever go back?”
Fu Hanzheng felt a sharp pain in his heart. No wonder she had been so eager to find out how Gu Weiwei died; it turned out she wanted to find out how she herself had died.
He knew nothing about all of this while she was doing it.
"You found out how he was murdered, didn't you?"
"You want to ask how I died, right?" Gu Weiwei asked with a bitter smile.
Fu Hanzheng habitually reached out and patted her head to comfort her.
He was taken aback when he realized what he had done.
Gu Weiwei turned her head to look at him, not expecting him to do something to comfort her at this time.
After a long pause, she turned her head away, holding back the tears that threatened to spill from her eyes, and recounted her death in a light and understated manner.
"The people who wanted to target Kaman attacked me. After I woke up from my coma, I was injected with drugs that caused brain death. Gu Siting transplanted my heart to his fiancée Ling Yan."
Fu Hanzheng felt a suffocating pain in his heart. So... this was how she came to his side after she died.
So, back then, she often had nightmares even when she was asleep, crying and saying it hurt so much, constantly begging for help...
