Chapter 1428 - 1591: Don’t Be Afraid, I’m Here
Tong Xi’s breathing was so erratic, looking at the man in front of her, seeing his defeated appearance, she suddenly felt that all her anger had nowhere to vent.
Her chest felt stuffy and painful.
Gu Zhengming, doesn’t this man think he’s being excessive?
Back then, he made his choice and abandoned her, and now, he appears before her like this, doing such things to her. Haha, it’s so damn absurd, utterly ridiculous!
And because of the anger in her heart, Tong Xi’s hand trembled a little, and the knife pressed against his neck... had already slightly pierced his skin, yet at this moment, Gu Zhengming reached out, grabbed her hand, and pushed it forward forcefully.
This action gave Tong Xi quite a scare.
Does he really want to die?
That knife is really sharp! She had already seen the beads of blood on his neck.
Tong Xi was terrified, although she had been really angry just now, she didn’t mean for him to die, this... this person...
She hurriedly withdrew her hand, but Gu Zhengming refused to let go of her hand.
"Gu Zhengming, let go of me!"
At the moment of her panic, another large hand grabbed her arm, forcefully pulling her back, lifting her from the ground, and with a tremble of Tong Xi’s hand, the Swiss Army Knife fell to the ground.
The embrace from behind was warm and strong, she didn’t need to look to know it was... Yunqing.
At that moment, Tong Xi felt all the tension in her body instantly relax, and her anger turned into helplessness, leaning into Yunqing’s embrace, she didn’t know what to say.
She didn’t know how much of the argument between her and Gu Zhengming Yunqing had seen or heard, but now that Yunqing was here, holding her like this, she just wanted to cry her heart out in his arms.
Yunqing sighed softly, turning Tong Xi around to face him.
Tong Xi met Yunqing’s eyes, and instantly, all her grievances surfaced.
"Yunqing!"
Tears fell momentarily.
Yunqing’s one arm held her so tightly, while the other reached out to gently wipe her tears.
"Don’t be afraid, I’m here!"
Yunqing’s voice was not loud, but so firm, so strong, making her suddenly feel at ease.
"Mm!"
Tong Xi buried her face in his chest, only wanting to embrace him like this, not wanting to think about anything else.
And Yunqing lowered his head, staring at Gu Zhengming ahead, saying, "Mr. Gu, during this festive season, is it really appropriate for you to bring such bad luck to others? If you frighten my wife, can you bear the responsibility?"
Gu Zhengming looked at Yunqing with a blank expression, as if he couldn’t comprehend.
"Wife..."
He murmured softly.
Yunqing smiled, "Yes, Mr. Gu, my wife and I are already married with a certificate. We are husband and wife. If Mr. Gu can recognize his identity and position, we’ll gladly invite you to our wedding. However..."
Yunqing’s eyes narrowed, his gaze becoming cold like frost.
"If Mr. Gu remains stubborn and continues to pester us, then don’t blame me for being rude!"
After Yunqing spoke, he wrapped his arm around Tong Xi, walking towards the courtyard. After taking only two steps, he heard Gu Zhengming’s somewhat mournful laugh.
"Tong Xi, don’t you hate me? Is it only by dying that I can atone for the mistakes of the past?"
Yunqing turned with Tong Xi in his arms, only to see Gu Zhengming pick up the Swiss Army Knife and plunge it into his own chest, instantly, blood staining his shirt.
