C61 You Promised to Let Me Go

When Gu Yuling woke up again, it was already early in the morning.

She moved her eyelids and slightly opened her eyes. She felt the pain coming from her abdomen but when she saw the sleeping man beside her, she shivered.

Sheng Jingxun was lying beside the bed with his eyes tightly closed and his breathing was even. Gu Yuling looked at his haggard face and could not help but feel shocked and sour.

She could not help but raise her hand to touch that face. However, just as her hand touched Sheng Jingxun, he suddenly opened his eyes.

"You sleep here. What if you catch a cold?" Gu Yuling's hand stopped in midair. It was not right to put it down or not. She grinned.

"I want to drink water." Seeing that Sheng Jingxun did not speak, Gu Yuling could only look away and mutter.

In less than half a minute, a cup of warm water was brought over. Sheng Jingxun let her hold his shoulder and slowly sat up with care.

After taking a sip of water, Gu Yuling felt that her dry throat was saved. She put down the cup. "Is my injury very serious? Why is it still so painful?"

She clearly remembered that the knife at that time did not pierce very deep. She thought that it only bled a little.

Seeing her indifferent look, Sheng Jingxun's heart moved. He grabbed her hand. Although he didn't say a word, his misty eyes told her everything.

His expression was solemn. The space between his brows twisted and his nose moved slightly. His black eyes were filled with joy, but then he put on a stern face and said, "Are you going to give me a head?"

"Ah?" Gu Yuling was somewhat stunned when she suddenly felt his anger.

"I am a man after all. I don't need you to rush forward to block my knife. Do you know how much blood you have lost? You are so stupid!" Sheng Jingxun's fingers unconsciously tightened as he held her.

Gu Yuling immediately understood and smiled bitterly. "This is also what I owe you. You are so good to me and the situation was critical at that time. How could I have time to think about it?"

Indeed, rushing forward to block Sheng Jingxun's saber was an instinctive action. Gu Yuling herself did not understand. She was clearly a person who was afraid of death, but she would not hesitate to do so.

Hearing this, Sheng Jingxun was stunned. A trace of emotion flashed through his eyes, but he cleverly hid it. He only lowered his head and gently planted a kiss on the back of Gu Yuling's hand.

"I will not let you leave my side again." Sheng Jingxun said softly.

In an instant, warmth filled the entire ward. In the quiet night, the two of them looked at each other. Gu Yuling opened her mouth but could not say anything.

The bitter smile slowly faded. She clearly saw the sincerity in Sheng Jingxun's eyes. It was a kind of ability that made her heart beat continuously, and she was willing to sink into it.

"You promised to let me go," she said with a hoarse voice, as if she was fighting against Sheng Jingxun, but more like she was fighting against herself.

Unexpectedly, Sheng Jingxun, who had always been accommodating to her as a sign of respect, now had a dark face. His fingers also tightened a little. It was not until Gu Yuling could not help but cry out in pain that he slowly let go of his fingers.

"Don't even think about it. As long as I don't agree, you can forget about leaving this place," Sheng Jingxun said in a deep voice. "Only you can do Mrs. Sheng."

What kind of overbearing reason was this?

Gu Yuling's face was full of shock. For a moment, she did not know how to refute. She gulped down the water in the cup and tried to calm her heart down. When she saw Sheng Jingxun's bloodthirsty eyes, she could not help but shrink back a few times.

"You should take good care of your injuries during this period of time. The wedding can be postponed later," Sheng Jingxun said casually as he carefully tidied her blanket.

But to Gu Yuling's ears, these words were no less than a clap of thunder.

She was just about to refuse when she heard Sheng Jingxun indifferently add, "I have already sent out the invitation. You just need to be a beautiful bride."

This time, Gu Yuling completely exploded.

She did not care about the pain in her abdomen. She turned around and wanted to jump off the bed. Her voice was filled with fear and anxiety. "Why are you dragging me and not letting me go?"

If the previous her was thinking of a trace of friendship, then the current her was much more straightforward. Regarding marriage, she always had that kind of fear.

Not to mention marrying someone like Sheng Jingxun.

She did not get what she wanted. Sheng Jingxun easily pressed her onto the bed, but his eyes burned with a flame. His tone was a little unhappy, "You want to make the wound bigger?"

Only God knew how much pain he felt when he saw the bleeding wound.

The man was like a beast baring its fangs and brandishing its claws. Gu Yuling could only lie down obediently. Because she was unwilling, she pouted and did not want to compromise.

There was a trace of awkwardness in the atmosphere. He originally thought that Sheng Jingxun would give in, but he did not say a word, as if he was just informing Gu Yuling of this news.

Gu Yuling was not a person who would sit and wait for death. Her brain operated rapidly. Since that was the case, why not...

"Don't think about escaping. Before you recover, I will not leave you until the wedding." Sheng Jingxun pursed his lips.

Gu Yuling was shocked. She threw a frightened look at Sheng Jingxun. Was this guy the worm in her stomach?

She suddenly became a little dejected, "You have so many people who want to marry your followers. Why do you have to arrange such a difficult task for me?"

"No reason." Sheng Jingxun directly choked back with a sentence that was as light as a feather.

Gu Yuling's face was full of grievance, but she did not dare to have any objections. She looked out the window with tears on her face. Despair crawled all over her face. She could not help but think of the scene in her previous life.

At that time, the one who should be Madam Sheng should be Gu Ranjia.

Using her heart.

When she thought of this, a strange feeling surged in Gu Yuling's heart. She suddenly turned her head and wanted to say something, but unexpectedly bumped into Sheng Jingxun's face, which had suddenly closed in.

"What are you doing?" Her tears were watery.

Sheng Jingxun did not speak. He forcefully pulled her face over and gently bit her cherry lips. Step by step, he attacked the city, not giving Gu Yuling any time to catch her breath.

After a long time, he finally let go of Gu Yuling. His eyes suddenly darkened and a trace of dignity and unquestionable authority flashed through his eyes.

"Gu Yuling, listen up. I hope that the first person I see when I wake up in the morning is you. This is your lifetime mission. Can you do it?"

Even if it was a confession, Sheng Jingxun could always say it very stiffly. He stuck his neck out, and it was more like a gamble than Gu Yuling.

Gu Yuling looked at the man in front of her in surprise. Her mouth was slightly open and her earlobe was also quietly heating up. She blinked a few times and unexpectedly felt that Sheng Jingxun was very cute.

At this moment, all the beautiful words in the world could be used to describe him.

A ray of moonlight shone on the floor. Gu Yuling's long and curly eyelashes fluttered a few times. Two blush secretly climbed onto her cheeks, making her seem to ignore even the pain.

It was unknown where the impulse came from, but Gu Yuling nodded without hesitation and also staked everything on it.
