Chapter 41: Obsessive Childhood Sweetheart's Forced Pampering - Giving Up on Loving You
After saying his final goodbye, Gong Ye's eyes were red and tears streamed down his face.
It landed on Gu Shanshan's face and quickly evaporated into the air, as if nothing had been left behind.
Gong Ye struggled to his feet, not glancing back at Gu Shanshan on the hospital bed, and left through the door.
He was afraid that if he stopped walking, he would look back one more time.
He was about to break his promise, and he could no longer control his heart, so he once again forced Gu Shanshan to stay by his side.
But he knew very well that he couldn't do that anymore.
He absolutely could not bear to see Gu Shanshan get into trouble again.
For the first time, Gong Ye realized how painful and agonizing it was to decide to give up on loving someone.
But he also knew in his heart that for Gu Shanshan, staying by his side would only be a painful torment.
After all, Gu Shanshan could never like him because he was cunning and cold-blooded.
He likes gentle and sunny men like Jiang Ziheng.
He Gongye is not, and will never become, that kind of man.
Seeing Gong Ye emerge with a gloomy expression, Assistant Wang was puzzled as to what had happened.
She asked in a surprised whisper, "Mr. Gong, won't you stay and keep Young Master Gu company a little longer?"
Even when someone is in trouble, they endure physical discomfort to watch over them, and no matter who tries to persuade them, they won't leave for even a moment.
But now that he's alright, he's the one who's gone.
Assistant Wang was completely baffled.
Gong Ye's face was cold and gloomy, and his chilling gaze fell on Assistant Wang.
The cold voice commanded, "Go, bring Jiang Ziheng here. From now on..."
"Let Jiang Ziheng take care of him."
"What?"
Assistant Wang was stunned, his eyes widening in astonishment.
So, their CEO worked so hard for so long, and once the person was safe, he just handed them over to Jiang Ziheng.
Has their CEO switched to charity?
Gong Ye didn't explain anything, but coldly ordered, "Tell Jiang Ziheng to take good care of him. If he dares to neglect him, I'll kill his whole family."
After giving a stern warning, Gong Ye was afraid he would regret it as soon as he turned around, so he didn't dare to stay for even a moment longer.
......
Jiang Ziheng never expected that when he saw Gu Shanshan again, he would see her unconscious.
Even more unexpectedly, someone as domineering and arrogant as Gong Ye would take the initiative to give up on Gu Shanshan.
But he didn't care about any of that; all he wanted was for Gu Shanshan to wake up.
When he saw Gu Shanshan lying on the hospital bed with her eyes tightly closed, he felt immense regret.
He shouldn't have impulsively chosen that method to let Gu Shanshan know the truth that day.
It was because Gu Shanshan ran away that this happened.
Gong Ye bears responsibility for this matter, but so does he.
"Sparkling, I'm so sorry, please wake up soon."
Jiang Ziheng sat in his wheelchair, gazing tenderly at the person on the bed.
He had just woken up from a vegetative state and his bodily functions were still recovering, so he could only sit in a wheelchair.
He really wanted to laugh; how could he possibly take care of Shan Shan in this state?
With a sigh, Jiang Ziheng clearly sensed the connection between himself and Gong Ye.
All he could give Gu Shanshan was a sincere heart, while Gong Ye could give Gu Shanshan anything.
"Shanshan, I'm sorry, I acted impulsively."
Jiang Ziheng whispered many words in Gu Shanshan's ear, but Gu Shanshan never woke up again.
He asked the doctor, and he learned that Gu Shanshan needed stimulation from someone she cared about to wake her from her slumber.
Gong Ye knew this, but he stubbornly believed that Gu Shanshan cared about Jiang Ziheng.
He was willing to let go and send Gu Shanshan to Jiang Ziheng in order to wake her up.
After listening to the doctor's words, Jiang Ziheng thought that Gong Ye was definitely one of the people who could stimulate Gu Shanshan.
He called that very day, wanting to invite Gong Ye over.
When I called to ask for a raise, the call was no longer going through.
After Gong Ye left, in order to avoid the impulse to force Gu Shanshan into confinement, he took a private plane and left City A immediately after leaving the hospital.
Their whereabouts are currently unknown.
Jiang Ziheng hung up the phone dejectedly, looked at Gu Shanshan who knew nothing, and sighed.
"Sparkle, he's gone."
Upon hearing this, Gu Shanshan's hand, which was under the blanket, twitched.
Unfortunately, his hands were completely covered under the blanket, and Jiang Ziheng did not see them.
Jiang Ziheng gave a self-deprecating laugh, "Shanshan, the person you care about most in your heart is actually him, isn't he?"
Gu Shanshan was unconscious, and Jiang Ziheng could not get answers to any of his questions at this moment.
Jiang Ziheng seemed to have been holding back for a long time, sitting by Gu Shanshan's bedside and muttering to himself.
"Having been with you for so long, I can still guess a bit of what you're thinking. Shanshan, I can't tell who you like, but you care about Gong Ye much more than you care about me."
At this moment, Jiang Ziheng was able to calmly accept this fact.
In his hospital room, the instant he heard the truth, he saw a look of hatred and anger on Gu Shanshan's face. All those vivid emotions were directed at Gong Ye alone.
When Gu Shanshan was with him, she would only agree with and flatter him.
When he's with Gong Ye, he'll be unrestrained and show all his joys and sorrows to her.
Gu Shanshan became even more unrestrained and at ease around Gong Ye.
"Shanshan, wake up quickly. So many people want to get into Gong Ye's bed. If you wake up too late and he has someone else by his side, you will be heartbroken."
"Shanshan, please wake up."
Jiang Ziheng's voice gradually became choked with sobs and pleading.
Regardless of whether Gu Shanshan likes him or not, he genuinely likes Gu Shanshan. Even if they can't be together in the end, he will still treat Gu Shanshan like a younger brother.
He is different from Gong Ye.
Gong Ye's love is domineering and forceful, but his love is about knowing how to let go and respect.
"Sparkling... sparkling..."
Jiang Ziheng kept calling Gu Shanshan's name, but apart from the slight movement of her finger earlier, Gu Shanshan remained motionless, lying calmly on the bed as if she had fallen asleep.
......
A week later, the injuries Gu Shanshan had sustained on her head and body from Gu Linfeng had almost completely healed.
Assistant Wang arranged for Jiang Ziheng to be in the next ward. Every day when he woke up, he would come to Gu Shanshan's ward to talk to him.
But Gu Shanshan still didn't make a sound.
That morning, Jiang Ziheng stood by the bed, gently wiping Gu Shanshan's face with a warm towel.
After a week of recovery, he has been able to stand up from his wheelchair.
After lying in the hospital bed for so long, Gu Shanshan's face grew increasingly pale, almost transparent.
"well......"
Jiang Ziheng let out a long sigh, bent down to wipe Gu Shanshan's cheeks, and opened his mouth to say something when he heard a loud noise behind him.
Bang!
When Gong Ye pushed open the door, she saw Jiang Ziheng leaning over and pressing down on Gu Shanshan.
He looked as if he was about to kiss Gu Shanshan.
"Jiang Ziheng, what are you doing, you beast!"
Gong Ye was furious. He kicked the door hard and strode forward, roughly pushing Jiang Ziheng away.
"Ah... hiss..."
Jiang Ziheng was pushed to the ground and crashed into a shelf next to him. The shelf fell on him, causing him to scream in pain.
Looking up, he saw Gong Ye standing in front of him with a gloomy expression, his cold eyes burning with raging anger.
Helpless at the moment, he waved the damp handkerchief in his hand to explain.
"I was just wiping his face, what are you thinking?"
Gong Ye paused for a moment, then touched Gu Shanshan's face.
He knew he had misunderstood, but his expression was still very unpleasant.
She shouted angrily, "Wipe your face if you want, but who gave you permission to get so close to him!"
Jiang Ziheng smelled a strong odor of alcohol on Gong Ye.
Ah, so he only dared to come over because he was drunk.
He scoffed, "Ha, you said I'd take care of him when you dumped him on me. You wiping his face just means you're getting close, and besides, I'll wipe his body too..."
Before Jiang Ziheng could finish speaking, he was grabbed and punched by the enraged Gong Ye.
Gong Ye was already short-tempered and easily angered, and he was extremely ruthless, the taste of blood bursting in his mouth.
Immediately afterwards, Gong Ye roughly grabbed him and threw him out of the ward.
"Get the hell out of here!"
Gong Ye roared and threw the person out, slamming the door shut with a bang.
With a gloomy expression, he walked up to Gu Shanshan, leaned over and pressed down on her, his slender fingers lingeringly stroking her cheeks and neck.
He leaned down and bit Gu Shanshan's tightly closed lips hard.
He roared fiercely, "Gu Shanshan, I regret it!"
The strong smell of alcohol sprayed onto Gu Shanshan's face, indicating that Gong Ye had drunk quite a bit. If Gu Shanshan were awake at this moment, she would definitely push him away in disgust.
"Sweetie, if you don't open your eyes, I'll tear your clothes off right now."
Every word he uttered carried Gong Ye's unique beastly aura.
The voice was particularly self-righteous.
As Gong Ye spoke, she actually kissed him hard.
Heaven knows how hard Gong Ye endured during this time. In order to prevent himself from running back, he drank himself into a stupor every day.
But what good is being drunk? He still couldn't help thinking about Gu Shanshan.
He was thinking about it so much he was almost going crazy.
After enduring it for a whole week, he finally couldn't hold back any longer. After getting drunk, he ordered his assistant, Wang, to bring him over.
