Chapter 914 - 910
"Ah..."
Gu Xiaoning couldn’t listen anymore, her hand loosened, appearing as if she was going to fall.
"Gu Xiaoning!"
Su Hang hurriedly grabbed her, "Pull yourself together!"
Gu Xiaoning felt chilled to the bone, pull herself together? How could she pull herself together?
She was full of hope, waiting for good news!
Le Zhengsheng is still in the hospital with a fever! She waited for good news so she could go see him! But what she waited for was this kind of result!
"Gu Xiaoning?" Su Hang saw her looking unwell, "For the sake of the child, you need to take care of yourself!"
Gu Xiaoning shook her head, "I’m fine, I... I want to go lie down for a while."
"...Alright."
Su Hang supported Gu Xiaoning upstairs, Gu Xiaoning turned, closed the door, without saying a word to Su Hang.
Su Hang stood frozen at the door.
After a while, low sobbing sounds came from inside...
"Ah..." Su Hang sighed, honestly, he thought Gu Xiaoning was strong enough!
Which woman could endure such things for her husband? Most would choose to disclose the truth, right? Even if the husband ultimately can’t live long... at least they could be together, and the husband wouldn’t suspect her of having an affair.
Though young, it’s rare to have such responsibility.
...
In the hospital room, Le Zhengsheng was sleeping groggily, his fever never going down.
The nurse was watching over him 24 hours, only hearing him intermittently call out, "Ningning, Ningning..."
The young nurses couldn’t help but complain, "Tsk, this wife is ruthless, hasn’t come to see him all along!"
"Ah, when a woman changes her heart, it’s scarier than with a man!"
Outside the door, Aunt Gu heard these words, only feeling as if her face was being slapped intensely, repeatedly!
...
Early the next morning, Le Zhengsheng’s fever subsided a bit, and he became conscious.
"Mom." Le Zhengsheng called Aunt Gu.
Aunt Gu truly felt she had no face to face him, "Go ahead."
"I can’t leave the hospital right now." Le Zhengsheng said slowly, "Please, help me tell Ningning that I’m leaving F City the day after tomorrow, I’ve said and done all I could, if she is willing to go with me, I’m still waiting for her, if she doesn’t come, then... let’s just end it."
Aunt Gu choked up, nodding with difficulty, "Alright, I’ll tell her."
Aunt Gu gritted her teeth, "Asheng, the Gu Family has wronged you!"
"..." Le Zhengsheng closed his eyes, too tired.
Aunt Gu hurried to find Gu Xiaoning just coming out, Su Hang had come to pick her up to go to the research institute that day.
"Gu Xiaoning!" Aunt Gu stepped forward quickly, blocking her way.
"Mom." Gu Xiaoning was drained.
Aunt Gu’s face was stern, "Asheng asked me to tell you, he’ll wait for you until the day after tomorrow... then he’ll go back to the Holy City."
"Asheng..." Gu Xiaoning opened her mouth, "Is he okay?"
"Humph!" Aunt Gu sneered, "You want to know? Go see for yourself! Why ask me? You have time to fool around with this man but no time to visit your own husband? Gu Xiaoning! If you weren’t my daughter, I’d really want to spit on you!"
Gu Xiaoning hung her head, silently enduring it all.
Aunt Gu didn’t say much more, "Gu Xiaoning, you’re not a child anymore, take responsibility for your own actions, I can only tell you... if you don’t go back with Asheng, you’ll never call me Mom again! I don’t have a shameless daughter like you!"
"Mom..."
Aunt Gu turned away indifferently, truly not acknowledging this call of ’Mom’ from Gu Xiaoning.
Two days quickly passed, Le Zhengsheng’s fever was gone, but his body remained weak... he had grown silent.
"Young Master... the car is ready, you can leave."
The servant opened the door quietly and said.
Le Zhengsheng seemed to just snap back to reality, "Okay."
He picked up his coat and put it on.
When he went out, he looked around, "Where’s my mother-in-law?"
"She..." the servant hesitated, "Madam said she feels too ashamed to see you... so she won’t, go with you."
Le Zhengsheng frowned, "So you just let her go? She’s my mother-in-law! We’re not divorced yet!"
"...Yes." The servant bowed his head, "I’ll contact her immediately! Madam won’t have any issues, the Young Madam’s brother is still in the Holy City."
Le Zhengsheng nodded, "Alright, take care of my mother-in-law."
"Yes."
He got in the car, heading to the airport.
...
At the research institute, Gu Xiaoning finished her check-up.
In a hurry, she didn’t even change clothes, she got off the bed directly, ready to go out.
"Hey! Change your clothes!"
Gu Xiaoning couldn’t care less, she pushed the door and ran. As she went out, she bumped into Su Hang, who stopped her, "Where are you going?"
"Teacher Su Hang!" Gu Xiaoning asked urgently, "Asheng is leaving today! I need to get to the airport!"
Su Hang frowned, "What are you going to the airport for?"
"I..." Gu Xiaoning’s eyes turned red with tears, "I know I can’t do much, but... please let me see him from afar, just one glance is enough! Even that request, is it too much?"
She cried, shaking her head, "I have nothing left!"
Her husband thinks she betrayed him, her mother thinks she’s shameless! She has nothing left!
Su Hang sighed and nodded, "Alright, I’ll take you there! Let’s go!"
Time was running out, Gu Xiaoning kept checking her watch, tears never stopping, "Teacher Su Hang, please hurry up! Faster!"
This might be her last chance to see Asheng!
Su Hang frowned, said nothing, and silently picked up speed.
Approaching the airport entrance, the traffic was a mess.
"What’s going on?" Gu Xiaoning was anxious.
"It’s blocked!"
Gu Xiaoning, in a panic, opened the car door, scaring Su Hang, "What are you doing?"
Gu Xiaoning didn’t speak, she started to run!
"Are you crazy!" Su Hang hurriedly stopped her, crouching in front of her, "I’ll carry you! You’re pregnant, why run?"
Gu Xiaoning didn’t refuse, she climbed on.
In the blocked road, Cui Ruoya was among them, she’s also on today’s flight, leaving F City for the Holy City.
She saw the scene, and she was stunned, got off the car, picked up her phone, zooming in, snapping a shot of Gu Xiaoning and Su Hang together!
"Tsk." Cui Ruoya smiled faintly, little sister, don’t blame me... since it’s your own choice, I’m just making it more thorough for you!
She scrolled to the contacts, where there’s a long-unused number for Le Zhengsheng.
She hit send...
Anxiously waiting for the last moment, Le Zhengsheng’s phone rang.
Su Hang carried Gu Xiaoning, rushing all the way to the airport.
"Hmm..." Gu Xiaoning couldn’t help but groan.
"What’s wrong?" Su Hang was sweating and panting, "Is your stomach hurting?"
Gu Xiaoning spoke quietly, "It’s a bit bumpy..."
Su Hang immediately responded, "Hold on tighter! You’re leaning back, that’s why it’s bumpy!"
"...Oh." Gu Xiaoning hesitated, held onto Su Hang tighter, "Thank you."
Su Hang gasped, "No need! Hearing you say thank you... makes me feel so ashamed!"
If he had known their relationship was like this... how could he have listened to the teacher’s words and done such a thing? There’s a saying that couples are like birds from the same forest, in disaster they fly apart, but with Le Zhengsheng and Gu Xiaoning, it’s definitely not like that!
Watching the time pass by momentarily, Gu Xiaoning cried more desperately.
Tears dripped onto Su Hang’s neck, making him freeze.
Su Hang blinked, "Don’t cry! I will definitely let you see Le Zhengsheng!"
