"What kind of proof is this? Don't even think about sentencing me to death." Under the night sky, Huo Nanchen's grip on Gu Ruochu's hand almost lost its strength. "Why can't you wait for me? As long as I find Yue Cheng, we can be together."
Huo Nanchen was in a state of despair.
His chin rested on her shoulder, and he gasped softly.
"You really know how to torture me."
Her words had cut a deep wound in his heart.
Gu Ruochu did not turn around. She simply shook her head lightly and said, "Huo Nanchen, have you ever heard the saying, 'The third time is the worst.' This is the third time. Whether what you said is true or not, I don't want to go through the pain I felt the previous two times. I don't want to hold a grudge against the man I love. I've told you that time will take away all my feelings for you."
Gu Ruochu was tired of waiting for him to make things right.
Did he really think that she could ignore the rumors and pretend that nothing had happened?
"It's very late. Let go of me." Gu Ruochu pushed his hand away from her waist. "Huo Nanchen, I want to go upstairs and sleep."
"Those rumors aren't true!" Huo Nanchen did not let go of her. "You just have to believe me. I don't love Ning Tangxi! Just give me some more time."
Gu Ruochu was out of breath. She raised her eyes and looked at him. "All right. Huo Nanchen, I'll give you one last chance. I can stay with you and help you raise Cheng Xi. However, you should forget about Yue Cheng and Ning Tangxi. You can only stay by my side from now on.
"Huo Nanchen, can you do that?"
"Ruochu, things aren't as simple as you think." Huo Nanchen's deep eyes finally showed a hint of emotion. "I..."
"So, you've rejected my request?" Gu Ruochu laughed coldly and cut him off.
Her heart grew distant again.
Huo Nanchen could not do it. Gu Ruochu looked at the frustration that was gradually rising between his brows and felt disappointed. "I understand. Huo Nanchen, you can go now."
Huo Nanchen had too many worries. What status could she possibly have in his heart?
There were a thousand types of love, but there was only one type of sadness. It was etched deep into Huo Nanchen's heart, and the pain made him feel as if his heart was breaking bit by bit.
Gu Ruochu held back her tears and smiled gently.
"Gu Ruochu!" Huo Nanchen called out her name desperately.
She did not give him the slightest chance to react. She walked past him and headed upstairs. He instinctively chased after her, but Gu Ruochu quickly shut the door to her apartment.
Huo Nanchen stood outside the door for a long time. When Li Tezhu arrived, he saw that the shirt under Huo Nanchen's coat was soaked in blood.
"Boss!"
Li Tezhu let out a low groan. Huo Nanchen's wound must have been torn again.
Lu Fang and Lan Nuo got out of the car when they saw Li Tezhu helping Huo Nanchen walk outside the building.
As Huo Nanchen's doctor, Lu Fang could not help but get angry. "You f*cking don't want to live anymore, do you? Do you want to break a few more ribs before you're happy? You're injured and haven't recovered yet, but you dared to run out. F*cking hell!"
