Time Travel: The Heroine Has Arrived!

Chapter 59: Chapter 59: Noble Lady of Wealthy Family VS Reborn Foster Daughter (Part 27)

Yuan Xu’s eyes seemed as though they were laced with poison, “Leave that woman for me, I must make her regret her actions today!”

Gu Shengyin felt that Yuan Xu had been somewhat busy these past two days.

Before, he had been by her side all day in the hospital room, but recently, he would disappear after lunch and not return until after dinner.

When she asked, he would only say that the company had been particularly busy recently.

“Xi Xi,” Yuan Xu’s expression looked somewhat hesitant.

“What’s wrong?” Gu Shengyin, having eaten the fruit Yuan Xu had peeled for her, lifted her head with a smile to inquire.

Yuan Xu looked at Gu Shengyin’s pure smile, closed his eyes, and, steeling his heart, said, “The doctor said that your right hand might never be able to hold a paintbrush again.”

Yuan Xu watched as his Xi Xi’s face turned pale upon hearing these words, and after a good while, she smiled back at him, “With such an injury, just being unable to paint again, I think God has already been quite generous to me.”

Although she said this, Yuan Xu clearly saw Xi Xi’s left hand holding the fruit turn white at the knuckles due to the strength of her grip.

Yuan Xu felt the corners of his eyes sting with acidity, knowing full well how much Xi Xi loved to paint, and understood her words were but a comfort to herself.

Yuan Xu suppressed this heartache deep within himself, becoming even more ruthless in his dealings with a certain woman.

“Ah!” Cheng Yiru let out a scream—her right hand’s bones were being crushed one by one.

Yuan Xu, with bloodshot eyes, looked at her as if he were looking at a dead person, “Does it hurt? The feeling of fingers being broken isn’t pleasant, is it?” His Xi Xi’s pain was greater than this.

In recent days, Cheng Yiru had been so tormented that she no longer had the spirit to fight back. She was truly afraid of Yuan Xu, this Devil, and regretted countless times why she provoked Cheng Xizhi, why she provoked Yuan Xu. @@novelbin@@

“I was wrong, I was truly wrong…” Cheng Yiru cried tearfully, repenting over and over again, “I apologize to Xi Xi, I’m sorry to her, I deserve to die…”

“You’re not worthy of calling her Xi Xi, nor are you worthy of apologizing to her!” Yuan Xu looked at her indifferently, “Someone like you doesn’t deserve to appear before Xi Xi’s eyes, you would sully her sight!”

“Treat her well!” Yuan Xu ordered the people around him, and left without looking back.

He took a shower, changed into a fresh set of clothes, and only after assuring himself that there was nothing amiss with his appearance did he head to the hospital.

Yuan Xu gazed at the woman sleeping on the bed for a long time, feeling that merely watching her could slowly soothe the violence in the depths of his heart, leaving behind only tranquility.

“Xi Xi.” He murmured the name with immeasurable affection and placed a kiss on her forehead with great care.

After lying in bed for three months, Gu Shengyin was finally allowed to be discharged from the hospital.

She finally understood the feeling of a bird being released from its cage at this moment.

Yuan Xu had bought a bouquet of flowers early on and was waiting to pick her up from the hospital; after driving for a while, Gu Shengyin realized something was off.

“This isn’t the way home.” Gu Shengyin was puzzled; the road led neither to the Cheng family nor to the Yuen family.

Yuan Xu’s expression was unchanged, “We’re not going home first, there’s something more important to do.”

Before Gu Shengyin could understand what this “more important thing” than going home was, Yuan Xu stopped the car.

Then, taking Gu Shengyin’s hand, he led her to a certain place.

Gu Shengyin’s mouth fell open as she looked at the brightly gleaming words “Marriage Registration Office.”

“You…” Clearly, Gu Shengyin was shocked.

Yuan Xu looked at her with a gentle gaze, “Xi Xi, let’s get married.”
