"So, while I was underwater, I was very clear-headed and told myself that no matter what, I had to survive, I absolutely had to survive."
Because he neither wanted her to remarry nor wanted her to remain a widow for him.
Lin Chuxia stared blankly at Gu Yuheng, and it would be a lie to say she wasn't shocked.
She had seen his medical report, and even if he didn't say these things to her, she could imagine how difficult it must have been for him to survive underwater, and how much willpower he had to rely on.
Just as she was about to say something, she suddenly felt the force binding her tightening. Lin Chuxia quickly pressed against his chest and said anxiously, "Gu Yuheng, your hand is still injured. Are you trying to hurt it by using so much force?"
How could he not want her? He still wanted to hold her with those hands. He was actually being careful and wouldn't really hurt himself.
But looking at the worried person beneath him, Gu Yuheng didn't explain, and said directly, "Then hold me tight, the tighter the better!"
Without thinking twice, Lin Chuxia hugged his waist.
Gu Yuheng curved his lips slightly, then said with a hint of regret, "Wife, I misspoke before, I take it back. I really don't want you to marry someone else at all."
Having spent many years with Lin Chuxia, Gu Yuheng had figured out her soft-hearted nature. As long as he humbled himself and made himself sound pitiful, she would definitely feel sorry for him.
As for whether a grown man "playing the victim" would damage his masculine dignity, that was not within his consideration. Besides, he mostly did this in private when it was just the two of them; to be precise, it should be considered their marital intimacy and bedroom fun.
Even if doing so might damage a man's dignity, he doesn't care. As long as he achieves his goal, that's enough. His wife will love him even more because of it.
Therefore, Gu Yuheng didn't mind showing his "vulnerable" side in front of Lin Chuxia.
Lin Chuxia was indeed affected by Gu Yuheng's words, feeling both touched and heartbroken for him.
In particular, Gu Yuheng's forehead was wrapped in white gauze, and his arms were also wrapped tightly in bandages, making him look extremely pitiful.
"I never intended to marry anyone else." Lin Chuxia looked at him with slightly moist eyes. "What I said back then was against my true feelings. The way you spoke, like you were giving your last words, terrified me..."
At that time, she just wanted to say something to provoke him; her intention was to hope that he would persevere and not leave her alone.
"I know you didn't mean it, but honey, can you take those words back now?" Even if it wasn't true, he didn't want to hear a lie.
Lin Chuxia could clearly see her reflection in Gu Yuheng's dark and deep eyes. Her thoughts stirred, and she said, "Those words didn't count anyway. Aren't you doing well now? You're still alive, so how could I possibly marry someone else? Besides, you've already raised my standards for choosing a partner. With such an excellent husband as you, how could I possibly be interested in someone else?"
To put it another way: In this world, you are the only one who can catch my eye, and you are the only one who can enter my heart.
Gu Yuheng paused for a moment, then—
His pitch-black eyes were instantly filled with twinkling stars.
Springtime is creeping onto our faces.
Joy filled my heart.
Gu Yuheng felt a faint heat rising in his chest, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but turn up, no matter how hard he tried to suppress it.
