She was startled by her own guess, but her heart began to pound.
She couldn't help but ask, "Fu Nanxiao, you... you brought me here today, you wouldn't be... trying to make me happy, would you?"
She raised her head and stared intently at Fu Nanxiao.
She herself was unaware of the mix of anticipation and trepidation in her eyes.
Fu Nanxiao looked into her eyes, a hint of unease flashing in his own.
He scoffed, "Not so stupid as to be beyond redemption!"
As he spoke, he reached out his hand.
Sizzle—
Fireworks exploded.
Whether it was the dazzling fireworks or the radiant starlight, Jiang Yilai felt somewhat dizzy and disoriented.
She stared blankly at Fu Nanxiao.
His handsome face appeared even more striking in the firelight, his features cool and aloof, yet his gaze seemed to have lost much of its indifference.
Jiang Yilai's heart felt like it was about to jump out of her chest.
The gloom and unhappiness of the afternoon, coupled with her pounding heart, made it impossible for her to deceive herself any longer.
She must have fallen for Fu Nanxiao.
Jiang Yilai, as if bewitched, stammered, "Fu Nanxiao, I think..."
A ringing bell interrupted her before she could finish speaking.
Fu Nanxiao glanced at his phone screen, frowned, but still answered the call.
Being so close, Jiang Yilai could vaguely hear the voice on the phone.
It's a man.
All she heard were the words "Nian Qiang," "hospital," and "come quickly."
That was enough for her to understand what had happened.
Fu Nanxiao's lips tightened, and his brows furrowed.
Jiang Yilai's heart seemed to be clenched into a knot.
Her gaze fell on the sparkler in her hand, which had gone out sometime earlier.
Fu Nanxiao only gave a low "hmm" throughout.
After hanging up the phone, his gaze fell on Jiang Yilai.
She kept her head down, and her expression was unreadable.
Fu Nanxiao spoke directly: "I have to go. Do you want to come with me, or stay here?"
Jiang Yilai couldn't quite describe how she felt.
She didn't say anything for a moment.
Fu Nanxiao's brows furrowed with impatience: "Jiang..."
"Can we stay?"
Jiang Yilai looked up at him and said seriously.
Fu Nanxiao was taken aback.
He frowned: "Gu Nianqiang has been admitted to the hospital, and I have to go there."
"What does her going to the hospital have to do with you?" Jiang Yilai clenched her fist, not knowing where she got the courage, and raised her voice slightly: "Can you not go?"
After she finished speaking, her heart clenched, and her palms became wet with sweat.
Fu Nanxiao met her gaze, and seeing how serious she was, his brows furrowed tightly.
His thin lips were pressed tightly together, and his eyes were slightly cold: "Jiang Yilai, don't be unreasonable."
Making trouble out of nothing?
She is, after all, his respectable wife. Is it wrong for her to stop her husband from caring for his ex-girlfriend in the middle of the night?
Jiang Yilai felt as if her heart had instantly fallen into an ice cellar.
She found it ridiculous.
He was the one who brought her here today.
She thought...
Fu Nanxiao felt a surge of irritation upon seeing her silent resistance.
He said firmly, "You can stay here if you want. When you're done playing, the driver will come pick you up."
After saying that, he strode away.
Looking at his retreating figure, Jiang Yilai felt like a fool who had just fallen for him.
For him, today was probably just a casual act of charity towards her during his free time.
But she was foolishly filled with heart palpitations.
It's utterly ridiculous.
Only then did she truly understand that no matter how cold and ruthless Fu Nanxiao spoke, his greatest love was still Gu Nianqiang.
