Chapter 1932: How Could I Be So Disobedient?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Mr Li, be careful!”
Tang Xiaoyu’s voice was so loud that she started trembling. She could not imagine what would happen if Gu Zhengrong’s dagger really pierced Mr Li’s abdomen. She had never wanted to see Mr Li like this.
“Mr Li, leave quickly!”
Tang Xiaoyu ran up and was about to block Mr Li when Gu Zhengrong stabbed the knife into his own heart. His lips curled into a strange smile.
“Xiaoyu, in your heart, I’m not important. I understand. From now on… I won’t disturb you anymore. I won’t do it again.”
“No, it’s not like that. It’s not like that.”
Tang Xiaoyu was shocked. She did not expect Gu Zhengrong to be thinking about this. She did not realize how important she was to this man.
Gu Zhengrong could even die for her. Tang Xiaoyu really did not know that this man loved her so deeply.
“Xiaoyu, I love you, I really love you…”
Gu Zhengrong’s voice trembled with pain.
“No, it’s not like that. It must not be like that. I must be dreaming. I must be.”
Tang Xiaoyu watched as Gu Zhengrong’s body slowly fell to the ground. She watched as this man finally changed from an insufferably disgusting person to someone who was infatuated with her. Yet, she had no intention of being with him.
Maybe the love was real, but it was hard to believe, and she refused to believe it.
No matter how long this love lasted, no matter how many times Gu Zhengrong told Tang Xiaoyu that he loved her, she was still unwilling to believe it. After all, Gu Zhengrong had given her pain.
Just as Tang Xiaoyu was about to rush over to support Gu Zhengrong, she suddenly woke up from her dream and realized that she was covered in sweat.
“So it was all a dream.”
Tang Xiaoyu opened her eyes and looked out at the night sky with sleepy eyes. She tried moving her limbs and found that they were not as weak as before. She guessed that the drug had worn off.
Tang Xiaoyu slowly sat up and looked at the room. She had not taken a close look at the room since she fainted, but now, it seemed to be really big.
Tang Xiaoyu estimated the distance between her bed and the floor-to-ceiling window. Being able to see the cool moonlight seemed to be a form of happiness.
“The moon is so beautiful.”
Tang Xiaoyu said in admiration. The moonlight was so beautiful.
“But, Gu Zhengrong…”
Thinking of that dream, Tang Xiaoyu’s heart skipped a beat. Before she could confirm it, she already knew how important Gu Zhengrong was to her.
“Forget it, forget it. What has it got to do with me? From the moment I decided to go against him, from the moment I decided to give birth to Duo Duo, and from the time I chose to return to the country, Gu Zhengrong and I can no longer return to how we were in the beginning.”
The night breeze was quiet as Tang Xiaoyu walked barefoot on the floor. The clean floor tiles made her feel a chill in her heart.
“This moon is really beautiful.”
Tang Xiaoyu grabbed a large shawl from the sofa and placed it on her back. She felt warmer and less awkward standing in the cold wind.
A tune drifted out of nowhere and Tang Xiaoyu stopped to listen. It was melodious and melodious, as though it was telling a story.
“How strange. Where did the music come from?”
Tang Xiaoyu looked down from the balcony but she did not see anything. She did not even find a possible spot where the music came from.
Tang Xiaoyu did not know where the music came from nor did she know that Gu Zhengrong was standing on the balcony looking at her. As the lights were not switched on, Gu Zhengrong was standing in the darkness.
Tang Xiaoyu naturally could not see Gu Zhengrong’s figure, or rather, she did not pay attention to him.
A pair of lovers who did not get together when they should have been together the most. They did not get together when they should have been together the most. Perhaps it was the most regrettable thing, or perhaps it was the love they should never have.
While Tang Xiaoyu, Gu Zhengrong, and Mr Li were busy, Pei Ge and Ji Ziming were doing well in the country.
Since Old lady Qu had already stepped down, Pei Ge was the most successful woman in the capital. However, she chose to stay at home to educate her husband and children and rarely went out to attend events.
Pei Ge, who was preparing a family breakfast in the kitchen, looked adorable in her pink apron. Her beautiful eyes shone like the morning sun, making people feel comfortable.
Pei Ge prepared breakfast and went up to the second floor to wake the three children up.
Ran Ran, who was sleeping soundly, was unwilling to get up as she mumbled, “Mommy, why are you so early? I dreamed that I was going to eat cake just now. You woke me up and I didn’t get to eat it.”
Ran Ran frowned unwillingly.
“Oh? Cake? Where did you get the cake from?”
Pei Ge walked to Ran Ran’s closet and picked out an orange dress for her. “I don’t care what cake you eat. Wake up early today. I want to see your homework.”
Ran Ran’s eyes widened when she heard Pei Ge say that she wanted to check on her homework. She said nervously, “Mommy, you can go out first. I’ll go downstairs for breakfast after I change my clothes, okay? I’ll have breakfast before you check my homework.”
“Okay. Mommy will go wake your second brother up now. I want to check on your homework. I want to see if Grandma and the teacher are…”
“Okay, Mommy. Hurry up and go out. Go wake up my two brothers. Wake them up. I’ll go down later.”
Ran Ran quickly found a scapegoat. As long as Pei Ge left her room to look for An An and little Ji Chi, she would have time to finish her homework for the past few days.
She was also pleasantly surprised to have such a mother. If she was not careful, Pei Ge might be standing behind her and hear all her complaints.
“Ran Ran, tell me honestly, did you not do anything? Otherwise, why would you chase me away?”
Pei Ge’s beautiful eyes shone as she looked at Ran Ran. The smile in her eyes made Ran Ran’s scalp tingle.
“No, Mommy. How could I be so disobedient? I must have finished writing.”
