Chapter 911 - 907:
The room was too quiet.
When Su Hang came, he turned on the light and discovered Gu Xiaoning curled up in a corner of the sofa.
"Gu Xiaoning!"
Su Hang’s heart skipped a beat, and he quickly walked over, squatting down in front of her.
"What’s wrong?"
Gu Xiaoning slowly raised her head and forced a smile that was uglier than crying, "You’re here?"
"Why didn’t you turn on the heater?" Su Hang frowned and hurriedly went to turn it on, chiding, "Don’t you know it’s cold?"
"Cold?" Gu Xiaoning laughed miserably, "Could it be colder than Ah Sheng?"
Right now, Ah Sheng thought she betrayed him and must feel like the whole world is cold!
He didn’t believe her, but she didn’t blame him at all... she just felt heartache.
With the heater on, the room gradually warmed up.
"Have you eaten?" Su Hang wrapped her with a blanket.
Gu Xiaoning reacted slowly, eaten? Does she need to eat? Oh, Ah Sheng is so upset, has he eaten?
"Sigh..." Su Hang sighed, "I’ll go make you some food."
He stood up, but his sleeve was tugged by Gu Xiaoning.
Su Hang was stunned and looked back at her, "Hmm?"
"Help me with something!" Gu Xiaoning was clearly suppressing her emotions, her voice tinged with a sob, "Ah Sheng is still here, help me by getting him to leave!"
Su Hang moved his mouth, "Do you know what consequences your request could bring?"
"..." Gu Xiaoning clenched her teeth, feeling like her heart was bleeding. She nodded, "I know."
But as long as Ah Sheng could live healthily, she didn’t care!
"Okay." Su Hang nodded, "I understand... I’ll arrange it."
...
Early the next morning, Su Hang came to pick up Gu Xiaoning.
Gu Xiaoning wrapped herself in a coat and came out. "Where are we going now?"
"B University." Su Hang opened the car door, "We’ll be attending classes at B University."
"..." Gu Xiaoning looked bewildered.
Su Hang smiled, "Don’t worry, it’s really for classes... I noticed you staying cooped up at home all day, it’s suffocating and not good for you or the child. Just treat this course as a way to pass the time, no pressure from exams, just go and listen."
Hearing this, Gu Xiaoning nodded, "I understand."
As the car drove off, Su Hang glanced in the rearview mirror and softly said, "He’s following us."
Gu Xiaoning suddenly clutched her chest, it hurt...
Su Hang shook his head, feeling a pang of compassion.
At school, Su Hang escorted Gu Xiaoning to the classroom, "You attend the class here, and I’ll pick you up afterward."
Gu Xiaoning took the bag and nodded, "Okay."
She found a seat by the window and looked outside...
F City is different from Hai City; it was already very cold at this time.
Gu Xiaoning looked out the window to see strict security at the school gate, outside cars couldn’t enter.
Le Zhengsheng’s car was parked outside the gate.
He got out and leaned against the car door, helplessly looking up.
"Ah..." Gu Xiaoning covered her mouth, afraid she would cry out. She raised her right hand and traced Le Zhengsheng’s outline on the glass... She loved him so much, so much! Precisely because she loved him so much, she made this choice!
...
After sending Gu Xiaoning away, Su Hang went to see his teacher.
"Teacher."
"Hmm." The teacher nodded, "How’s everything going, smoothly, I hope?"
"Yes." Su Hang nodded, "So, about what was promised before..."
The teacher smiled and nodded slightly, "Don’t worry, my daughter is on her way back, once she’s here, she’ll take full charge of Le Zhengsheng’s case."
Su Hang breathed a sigh of relief, knowing his teacher’s daughter, who was also his senior. With this, Le Zhengsheng would be saved... and Gu Xiaoning’s sacrifice had ensured her beloved’s health!
"By the way." The teacher called after him, "There’s a dinner party tonight, why don’t you join us?"
Su Hang nodded, "Yes, I understand."
Turning to leave, Su Hang shook his head. Gu Xiaoning’s influence was truly strong; despite being a seemingly ordinary girl, her presence was overwhelming.
After class, Su Hang went to pick up Gu Xiaoning.
"There’s a gathering tonight, join us! It’s all project members."
Gu Xiaoning smiled, "You’re all researchers, while I’m the subject being researched, is it appropriate for me to attend?"
"Don’t say that." Su Hang frowned, "We equally respect you."
Gu Xiaoning shook her head, not giving a definite answer.
Upon leaving the school gate, Le Zhengsheng was still there.
He had been here, waiting all day! Not getting into the car, his hands and feet were cold!
Seeing him, Gu Xiaoning instinctively hid behind Su Hang... If she didn’t, she feared she would lose self-control and run to him. Once she held him, she felt she would have no courage to maintain her stance!
However, this action truly pierced Le Zhengsheng.
Le Zhengsheng smiled, a smile that was ghastly, "Gu Xiaoning, why... are you hurting me like this?"
"..." Gu Xiaoning gritted her teeth, her body rigid, her bones swelling and aching!
Le Zhengsheng took a deep breath, pointing at Gu Xiaoning, "Ningning, don’t continue like this... come back, I’m waiting for you to come back! Come, come to me!"
This was the love he had awaited with difficulty, and no one cherished it more than he did!
If his wife was mistaken, he could forgive her as long as she returned!
But Gu Xiaoning shook her head and looked at Su Hang, "Let’s go!"
Su Hang, feeling sorry, only wished to leave quickly with her, "Alright, let’s go!"
As they turned away, Le Zhengsheng yelled, "Gu Xiaoning!"
"..." Her spine stiffened, she felt like she wasn’t herself anymore.
Le Zhengsheng’s words seemed blood-laden, "Are you sure? You want to do this? I’m pleading this much, yet you won’t turn back?"
Tears welled in Gu Xiaoning’s eyes...
She dared not look back, suddenly gripping Su Hang’s hand tightly, suppressing a growl, "Please, get me out of here quickly!"
Le Zhengsheng couldn’t see her expression, but Su Hang could. Gu Xiaoning looked like she might faint at any moment!
Su Hang quickly held her, "Alright, let’s go!"
"Ah..."
Behind them, came Le Zhengsheng’s anguished roar, "Gu Xiaoning! How could I believe in you! Believe in the feelings of a young girl? I wrongly took your child’s play as true affection! Do you know? I treated you like a treasure!"
Unable to listen anymore, Gu Xiaoning hurriedly got into Su Hang’s car.
Su Hang looked at her, "Are you okay?"
"Drive! Just drive!" Gu Xiaoning covered her face, shaking her head and growling, "Don’t ask! Just drive!"
"Alright!"
The car sped away, and Gu Xiaoning could no longer hold back, breaking down into tears.
"Waa..."
Su Hang tightened his grip on the steering wheel and handed her the tissue box.
Gu Xiaoning closed her eyes, her mind filled with Le Zhengsheng’s despairing gaze and his howls...
She had harmed Ah Sheng! She had personally pushed the one she loved most into the abyss!
