Chapter 2 Reborn

Deep red blood flowed from Gu Xi’s forehead, but her eyes were instantly drawn to the shattered glass bottle on the ground outside the window. ‘I’m sorry. I’m sorry, my baby. Mama will come and keep you company now…’ “I’m sorry. I’m sorry. Argh!!!” Gu Xi was drenched with sweat as she sat up on the hospital bed. Her chest rose and fell violently while she gasped for air, looking as though she had just gone through a terrifying incident. “Young Master, please wait a second!” Someone threw the door open with a loud bang. Then, an upset-looking Xing Beiyan rushed into the room. “Xixi!” His expression turned dark when he saw that the person on the bed was curled up in agony; then shoved everyone out of his way before striding over. Upon hearing his voice, Gu Xi, who had been weeping bitterly, raised her head abruptly; her red and puffy eyes filled with disbelief. ‘Xing, Xing Beiyan!?’ “Xixi, are you feeling unwell?” When he saw her pale complexion, Xing Beiyan touched her face with a slightly trembling hand. “Darling, have you come to take me, take me…” Gu Xi paused while she thought, ‘To hell?’ Gu Xi reached out and grabbed the front of Xing Beiyan’s clothes in a flood of tears, as if afraid that he would leave. A surprised look flickered in his eyes. “Yes, I’ve come to bring you home.” “Home, home…” Gu Xi’s tears kept flowing like a river from a broken dam. “Stop crying. I agree with your request. I’m saying yes, Xixi,” Xing Beiyan said while he was thinking, ‘I agree to a divorce, so please stop scaring me like this, will you?’ Xing Beiyan’s eyes grew red. She had been thinking of getting a divorce ever since he had forced her to marry him, and Han Lei’s return had pushed this issue forward. His pride would not allow this girl to leave him, much less to leave him and get together with another guy after that. Thus, Xing Beiyan had firmly rejected her request. However, in less than two days, he had received news from home that Gu Xi had tried to commit suicide. Xing Beiyan was someone who feared nothing in the world, but he instantly felt a cold chill gripping his heart the moment he received this news! He had been defeated. Xing Beiyan had truly been defeated. Xing Beiyan thought that, by forcing her to be with him, Gu Xi would eventually accept him. Nevertheless, throughout their two years of marriage, he had been living in misery every single day. He knew in his heart that it was time to let go, yet Xing Beiyan’s heart still hurt so much at the sight of the girl crying so desperately in his arms. It hurt so much that he could barely breathe! When she felt the warmth of his body, images of him before his death kept playing in her mind. As Gu Xi wrapped her arms around his neck and held him tightly, she continued to weep and looked as if she was about to faint. At this moment, it was impossible for her to distinguish reality from illusion. Xing Beiyan did not understand why she was crying so bitterly. Why was she still crying when he had already agreed to her request? Should she not be overjoyed instead? With a bitter and sorrowful heart, he carried her in his arms, walked out of the hospital ward and said, “Inform the doctors to go to the Xing family’s residence and wait for us there.” “Understood, Young Master!” … “Young Master, there’s nothing wrong with Young Madam. She’s just in shock, causing her to be slightly emotional. She’ll be fine after resting and recuperating for a few days.” Seven to eight doctors stood trembling with fear beside the bed as they explained her condition warily. They wondered what exactly had happened to Young Madam that caused Young Master to be so worried. The doctors wiped the cold sweat off their foreheads and kept their heads lowered. None of them dared to speak unnecessarily. Around them, Xing Beiyan’s subordinates all sighed in relief too. They had been truly terrified when they saw Young Madam weeping with anguish in Young Master’s arms earlier and thought that something serious had happened. As a result, everyone in the Xing family’s residence had been in a panicked and chaotic state.
