Chapter 25 After being chased by the male protagonist, I passed the civil service exam (The End)
When Gu Moyuan returned, he found that there was no one in the villa. He frowned and went inside, only to find that none of the lights were on.
Upon entering the hall, he noticed candlelight, and Xu Zhixia was sitting at the dining table with her back to him.
"Where are the others?"
Xu Zhixia said coldly, "I told them to leave first. We've been married for so long, but it seems like we rarely have a peaceful meal together."
Only after hearing her words did Gu Moyuan realize that she had prepared a candlelight dinner.
After loosening his tie, he sat down and smiled: "You're suddenly being so sensible, it's making me quite unaccustomed to it."
"Look at you, why didn't you do this earlier? You had to provoke me and make me annoyed with you. If you had done this earlier, we could have had a proper relationship when you were young."
Xu Zhixia suppressed her disgust and sneered, "I've figured it out."
"I suddenly feel tired."
"I'm getting old, and I feel like it's meaningless to keep doing this."
Gu Moyuan picked up his knife and fork and cut the steak on the table: "It's a pity you figured it out too late. If only you had figured it out sooner!"
"After all, you're old and your looks have faded, but don't worry, I won't divorce you."
"This steak isn't right. Is it too old? Which chef made it today?" Gu Moyuan frowned after taking a bite.
Xu Zhixia lowered her head: "It might be because it's been too long. I was helping out too. Maybe it's my fault."
Gu Moyuan smiled, satisfied: "These things can be left to the staff. Mrs. Gu doesn't need to do them."
After wiping his mouth, he looked at her and asked, "I heard from Assistant Ji today that you weren't feeling well? What did your family doctor say?"
Since she was being so obedient today, Gu Moyuan didn't mind giving her a little false concern.
"I didn't say much. It's an old problem of mine. I often forget things and that scares them."
Gu Moyuan nodded: "If you're not feeling well, have the family doctor come over. Momo said you had amnesia today, what a childish temper."
Speaking of children, he continued:
"From now on, you must not interfere in the children's education, speak harshly to them, or push them. No one can make my children suffer."
Xu Zhixia: "Mm."
Having finished eating, Gu Moyuan stood up and leaned close to Xu Zhixia's neck:
"Although you are a bit older and not as young as you were, and your figure has changed after having children, you still look pretty good."
Xu Zhixia closed her eyes, trying her best not to vomit, and turned her head away so he wouldn't see her expression:
"Go wash up first."
Gu Moyuan moved even closer, and this disgusting feeling made Xu Zhixia's expression change. She pushed him away and got up in disgust.
After being rejected repeatedly, Gu Moyuan asked with a stern face, "What do you mean by this?"
Xu Zhixia took a deep breath: "You smell like another woman."
"Go take a shower first."
Hearing his words, Gu Moyuan recalled his fooling around with Secretary Li in the office earlier that day, and turned to go upstairs:
"Let's go back to the bedroom."
Xu Zhixia followed after him, watching his retreating figure, and took out a silver knife from behind her back.
My palms started sweating, my heart suddenly started racing, and I started to feel nervous.
"dad!"
Just as they were about to go upstairs, Gu Mo panicked and called for help from upstairs. As he looked up, Xu Zhixia closed her eyes and stabbed him with a knife.
Gu Moyuan felt a numbness in his lower back, followed by a sudden pain.
He turned around in disbelief and saw the woman draw her knife without hesitation and plunge it into his heart again.
Gu Moyuan gritted his teeth and gripped her hand tightly, but just as he was about to pull it out, he discovered that the knife was incredibly hot.
"Xu Zhixia!"
"Dad!" Gu Mo cried out in alarm, trying to rush downstairs.
Gu Yao was already crying when she saw it.
"How could you!" Gu Moyuan endured the pain and pulled out the knife. "I've been so good to you, and you actually..."
"Gu Moyuan, I hate you so much! You're so good to me?" Xu Zhixia felt extremely pleased looking at him.
"I wish I could eat your flesh and drink your blood."
The Soul-Shattering Blade emitted a bright light, leaving Gu Moyuan utterly astonished.
Feeling my life slipping away, I grew increasingly terrified: "Son, call the police quickly!"
"Quickly call for help!"
Gu Mo picked up her phone, crying, only to have it smashed by Xu Zhixia: "Do you think I'd let you get away so easily today?"
"I hate everyone in the Gu family."
Xu Zhixia cried and laughed at the same time: "It's over, it's finally over, hahahahahahahahahahahaha."
"I'm free."
Looking up at the ceiling, he said, "Thank you."
When Xu Zhixia looked down, she realized she was no longer inside [Xu Zhixia]'s body, and the knife in her hand was slowly disappearing.
Gu Moyuan and the others looked at it as if they had seen a ghost.
"Are you... a human or a ghost?"
Gu Mo got up in fear, and Xu Zhixia pulled him upstairs. Upstairs, she saw Gu Yao crying so hard she couldn't breathe, so she locked them in the room.
Xu Zhixia, her body completely transparent, saw Gu Moyuan trying to crawl out, blood flowing all over the ground.
"He's trying to escape!"
Xu Zhixia slowly went downstairs, and just as Gu Moyuan was about to climb to the door, she grabbed his ankle and dragged him back.
Turning to look at the transparent Xu Zhixia, he said, "You should go back now; someone is waiting for you over there."
Xu Zhixia: "Then you..."
Xu Zhixia couldn't bring herself to say the rest, because she saw a lifeless look in her eyes.
It seems that death is the only relief.
[Xu Zhixia]: "I felt it, I felt liberated."
Xu Zhixia wanted to touch her face, but unexpectedly, when she reached out, her hand passed right through her body.
Xu Zhixia felt her body slowly dissipate.
[Xu Zhixia] just watched "herself" disappear like that.
Gu Moyuan trembled, the intense pain making him dizzy: "You're insane! You're really insane!"
"I was already crazy."
[Xu Zhixia] went to the next room and came out carrying something.
It was poured directly onto Gu Moyuan, who was horrified by the smell: "Gas! Are you trying to burn me to death?"
[Xu Zhixia] Turn on the speakers.
He lit a lighter and threw it directly at Gu Moyuan, who was crawling on the ground.
A raging fire erupted, and a huge fireball rolled on the ground.
The sound of the stereo drowned out Gu Moyuan's noise; the villa was well soundproofed, and even the child's crying couldn't be heard.
【Xu Zhixia】stretched her arms and danced gracefully in the room, just like when she was young, performing an elegant classical dance.
Under the cover of night.
Flames erupted from the villa, but Xu Zhixia remained engrossed in her dance.
A smile played on his lips, his eyes calm as still water as he greeted the firelight.
It is death, and it is also rebirth.

"ah!"
Ji Huaizhi happened to bring over a bowl of porridge: "Awake? Have some porridge."
Xu Zhixia hadn't come to her senses yet, panting heavily as she clutched the blanket, as if she had seen something very painful.
Ji Huaizhi sat beside her, waiting for her to calm down.
After what seemed like an eternity, Xu Zhixia finally spoke:
"Ji Huaizhi, I had a very, very long dream."
Ji Huaizhi placed his hand behind her head: "What dream?"
Xu Zhixia opened her mouth as if to speak, but suddenly she couldn't say anything; the images in her mind vanished.
I don't remember anything.
"I... I think I forgot." Xu Zhixia suddenly felt confused.
Ji Huaizhi: "Did that dream make you upset?"
Xu Zhixia nodded.
"Then let's not think about it." Ji Huaizhi touched her forehead with his, and the two snuggled together. "Let's not think about it."
"Ji Huaizhi, I miss my mom and dad."
"I'll go over for dinner tonight."
"Ji Huaizhi, I miss you too."
"Me too."
