These past few months, she would occasionally panic, afraid that such a day would come to an end. However, she also felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.

Every day, when she opened her eyes, she would see his sleeping visage. She would quietly place a kiss on his face and look at his peaceful face. Many times, she would feel that it would be great if that moment could be frozen to eternity.

Unfortunately, she couldn't. Therefore, she could only feel uneasy day after day, and comfort herself with the thought that that day wouldn't come.

But now … Indeed, what should come, would eventually come.

"Jingman …" The man sighed softly. With helplessness in his eyes, he said, "Don't be like that."

"Then what do you want me to do!?"

She suddenly shook off his hand and stood up, her hands clenched into fists, her entire body trembling in a slight arc. "Jia Yu Shu, what did you tell me when we were first married? You said that even if I can't stand up again for the rest of my life, you will take care of me for the rest of my life! But now, just because I've recovered, you've forgotten your vow and don't want to honor it, right? "

The afternoon sun softly spilled through the window curtain into the ward, time seemed to freeze for a second, falling into a dead silence.

A deep sense of weariness appeared on Jia Yu Shu's face. In the end, he still spoke gently and slowly, "Jingman, do you think we are currently happy?"

Pei Jingman bit her lips tightly as her eyes turned bloodshot, allowing her tears to fall soundlessly.

"You can't force me to love you. Even if we can grow old together in the coming decades, do you mind if I never fall in love with you? For a man who never gets a response... Is it really worth it? "

The human heart was greedy, no matter how much one received, it would never be satisfied.

His life was too long, and all he wanted was to be together. Perhaps in less than ten years, he would be tired and unwilling.

Instead of wasting ten years before separating, it was better to let each other go now.

"It's enough if I want to, Yu Shu," said Pei Jingman, sobbing fitfully. "It doesn't matter if you can't respond to my feelings. When we were married, I knew and prepared for it. I don't ask you to love me too much, just let me stay by your side, that's all … "Can't either of them do it?"

She slowly crouched down, and her eyes that were filled with tears instantly focused on the man's indifferent face. She pleaded in an extremely low voice.

Jia Yu Shu closed his eyes as the two figures he just saw flashed through his mind. His weak body after the operation felt an unprecedented exhaustion.

He opened his eyes and looked at the woman who continued to shed tears. He was even more indifferent, "Your current state of mind will affect your judgement … "You should think about it carefully. I'm a bit tired, so I want to rest."

After he finished speaking, under Pei Jingman's hesitant gaze, he turned around and pulled out a pillow from behind him. Afterwards, he slowly laid down with his back facing the woman.

Pei Jingman tightly gripped the white bedsheet in her hands as her tears fell like beads from a broken string. Looking at the cold back view in front of her, her eyes were filled with indignation and unwillingness.

What else could she say? His current attitude meant that he was determined to divorce her.

When the pain reached an extreme, it stopped hurting.

She raised her hand to wipe the wetness from her face and stood up.

He stumbled to the door and put his finger on the door handle.

She turned her head and looked at the quiet figure on the bed. She said in an indifferent and decisive manner, "I will not agree to a divorce."

After saying that, he opened the door and walked out.

The moment the door closed, the man on the sickbed slowly opened his eyes. He stared out the window at the blinding sunlight, his eyes filled with coldness.

"..."

As dusk approached, the horizon gradually turned the color of dusk.

The black Rolls-Royce entered the main gate of the Thousand Islands Manor and then came to a halt in front of the villa.

Sensing that the car had stopped, Gong Yan raised his head from the files and looked out the window. Then he turned his head and his gaze fell onto the furry head on his shoulder.

Pei Luo leaned on his shoulder and slept soundly, her breathing steady.

However, when he fell asleep, his brows were tightly knitted together.

Gong Yan watched her silently for a while, then unconsciously touched her slightly cold face with his fingertips, stroking her flawless white skin.

Pei Luoyi didn't wake up at all. She only felt an itch on her cheeks. After an arc, she rubbed her face against the man's suit and fell asleep again. She seemed to be mumbling something unconsciously, but no one could hear her clearly.

The corner of Gong Yan's mouth curved slightly into a faint arc. Within his pitch-black eyes that were as deep as ink, there was a warmth that even he himself did not notice.

After staring blankly for a while, he let out a soft sigh. He still pushed open the door of the car and carried the woman off.

Her movements were neither light nor heavy. Even when she entered the room on the second floor, the woman still showed no signs of waking up.

Gong Yan gently placed the slim figure on the bed and helped her raise her head. He stuffed a pillow behind her head and then pulled the blanket over her.

He seemed to feel that his environment had changed, and that there was no warmth left in him.

Pei Luoyi opened her eyes in a daze and saw the man sitting beside her. The tip of her nose could smell the lingering scent of the man on the pillow. Her eyelids were not completely opened, and after a few blinks, she fell asleep again.

Gong Yan chuckled softly.

Are you really that trusting of him? To be able to fall asleep without any preparation even seeing him sitting here, it was obvious that he had been on guard against the perverts the day before.

The setting sun outside the window gradually dyed the clouds red. A faint red glow shone on the man's handsome profile, causing the warmth in his eyes to deepen.

"Knock."

A knock on the door broke the silence.

He glanced at the closed door, and the love in his eyes faded. He tucked the woman in and stood up.

Townsend knocked on the door and waited quietly outside.

A moment later, the door opened and the man gently closed the door, gesturing him toward the study.

Tang Sen followed him and said, "Young Master Gong, Miss Su went back to the Su family, but by the time we arrived, she had already left."

Gong Yan held his hands in the pockets of his pockets as he walked forward with a straight posture. Hearing this, his expression didn't change, nor did it show any signs of anger.

It seemed to be within his expectations.

Tang Sen followed behind him. Seeing that he didn't say anything, he couldn't make up his mind. "Do you need me to send some people to wait at the airport? If she really leaves, then I'm afraid that in the future …"

In the Cloud City and even within the country, it wasn't difficult for this man to capture a woman.

However, if she were to escape abroad, it would be equivalent to escaping from his sphere of influence. If he wanted to find her again, he would probably need to spend quite a bit of time and effort.

"Do you think she doesn't know that I'm going to have people at the airport waiting for her to walk into the trap?" Gong Yan said coldly.

Tang Sen lowered his head and replied hesitantly, "When our people went to the Su Family, she seemed to have just left in a hurry. She probably found out that you were looking for her. She may take the risk. "
