Actually, he had already prepared to keep it a secret from her for the rest of his life, but he never expected that such a thing would happen.
At that time, he wasn't sure if he would survive. If he died, the contract would be revealed, and she would eventually find out everything. Rather than letting her learn about it from Lin Qingze, it was better for him to tell her himself.
“At that time, I thought I was going to die for sure, but I never expected to be able to survive. Sure enough, God still favors me!” Gu Yuheng couldn’t help but rub against Lin Chuxia affectionately, and then said with a bit of pride, “Wife, you see, even God couldn’t bear to separate us, so it’s destined that we will be entangled together for all eternity.”
Hearing these slightly chuunibyou-esque words, Lin Chuxia couldn't help but twitch her lips.
After Gu Yuheng finished speaking, he kept glancing at her out of the corner of his eye. Seeing her expression, he couldn't help but laugh out loud and said in a good mood, "Wife, I don't believe in fate or heaven. I only know that if you want something, you have to work hard to get it."
And that's exactly what he's been doing all these years.
He wanted her, wanted to marry her, so he lured her into his arms step by step and plotted her marriage.
He was dissatisfied with her always being so polite to him, so he forcibly broke down the barrier between them, making her his person inside and out.
The more he got, the greater his greed became. Originally, he only wanted to be a peaceful and respectful couple with her, but after getting these things, he became even more greedy and wanted to win her love and her heart, and even hoped that they could be husband and wife for all eternity.
A lifetime is too short; he hopes for an afterlife.
"Regarding matters concerning you, I hope for an afterlife. I pray that God will favor us and allow us to be together in our next life as well."
"Hmm!" Lin Chuxia gave a noncommittal "hmm," then said, "I remember someone telling me that they wouldn't bear to see me fall into someone else's arms, and that they didn't mind me..."
"I regret it!"
Gu Yuheng interrupted her, "The moment I lost consciousness after falling off the cliff, I regretted it!"
"Wife, I'm not that magnanimous. I completely overestimated my own magnanimity. I'm petty and narrow-minded. I don't want you to marry someone else, not even for a second! Even if I die, I want you to belong to me for the rest of your life!"
"Honey, do you know what I was thinking the moment I plunged into the water?"
Lin Chuxia asked instinctively, "What are you thinking about?"
"I was thinking, what would it be like if I really died and you really married someone else? Who would your husband be, and would he treat you well? However, just having this thought made me unable to bear it, and my heart ached as if it were being pierced by a thousand needles."
I don't want to give you away to someone else. I want to give you your happiness myself! I regret what I said to you on the cliff. I don't want you to marry someone else, I don't want you to forget me, I don't want you to fall in love with someone else… even if I really die.”
"Those righteous words I uttered on the cliff were not my true feelings."
"Wife, do you know how much it hurt me when I said those things against my will... If I really died, I would be heartbroken if you married someone else, but I would also be heartbroken if you were to remain a widow for me..."
