Chapter 6: Xiang Wanqiao is His Irrationality

In the evening.

After dinner, Xiang Wanqiao sat on the hospital bed with her legs curled up, staring out the window in a daze.

Thinking back to the things that happened in her previous life, she couldn’t help but feel sad. The more she thought about it, the more her heart hurt.

The pain was suffocating.

Xiang Wanqiao closed her red eyes, took a deep breath, and calmed her mind.

After a while, she opened her eyes again, and the sadness in her eyes had faded by half.

The night was lonely, and she suddenly missed Gu Jingzhan very much.

In the previous life, he knew her purpose of pretending to be obedient, but he didn’t take precautions and was willing to join the game just to make her wish come true.

Gu Jingzhan, what’s so good about me? Can it make you so desperate and gamble everything?”

Xiang Wanqiao picked up the mobile phone on the bedside table and clicked on Gu Jingzhan’s communication page, but her fingertips suddenly stopped in front of the screen.

After hesitating for a while, she still dialed.

The phone rang for a long time before someone answered it, but the voice from the other end was not Gu Jingzhan’s.

“Master Zhan is busy, what can I do for you, madam?”

Xiang Yuan’s emotionless voice sounded, as if he were doing business.

Xiang Wanqiao was slightly stunned, and her bloodless lips moved. She whispered, “Gu Jingzhan… is he still working so late?”

Xiang Yuan mechanically replied: “Yes.”

Can he answer the phone? I… I have something to say to him.”

Sorry, Master Zhan is not available to answer the phone for the time being. Madam, if you don’t have anything important to do, please hang up first.”

Xiang Wanqiao pinched her fingers and finally said nothing, hanging up the phone silently.

The study in Guiyuan was in a mess.

Gu Jingzhan sat in the office chair with a gloomy face. His hands on the armrest kept shaking, and blood was dripping from his fingertips.

He exuded hostility; his black eyes were bottomless, containing extremely dangerous signals, like a bloodthirsty beast.

“Master Zhan, the lady has hung up the phone.”

Gu Jingzhan did not respond.

Xiang Yuan saw that his hand was bleeding, and a bit of worry appeared on his face, “Master Zhan, your hand is injured; I’ll ask someone to help you deal with the wound.”

“You won’t die.”

Gu Jingzhan slowly clenched his hands into fists and said coldly.

As soon as the voice fell, Lu Qingzhou opened the door and walked in, holding a medical box in his hand.

Why do you have to make yourself like this for Xiang Wanqiao, that woman? Without her, you can’t live?”

Xiang Yuan stepped aside, bowed, and respectfully called Lu Qingzhou: “Mr. Lu.”

Lu Qingzhou nodded slightly, waved his hand, and said, “You go out first; I’m here.”

“Yes.”

Then Xiang Yuan left the study.

Zhan Jiu, who had been waiting at the door of the study, saw Xiang Yuan coming out and immediately went over, asking with concern: “How is Master Zhan?”

Xiang Yuan replied calmly: “Nothing serious, just hurt his hand.”

“I’ll go in and take a look.”

Zhan Jiu heard that Gu Jingzhan was injured and was eager to go to the study.

Xiang Yuan stretched out his hand to stop him, “Don’t go; Master Zhan is in a bad mood now, and Mr. Lu is in there. He will be fine.”

Zhan Jiu closed his eyes and tried to calm himself down.

But the more he thought about it, the more he felt sorry for Gu Jingzhan, and he couldn’t swallow this breath, so he turned around and rushed downstairs.

Xiang Yuan seemed to guess what he was going to do and reacted very quickly to grab his arm and ask, “Where are you going?”

I’m going to kill that woman, Xiang Wanqiao!

Xiang Yuan pulled him back and growled: “You’re going to kill her? Have you thought about the consequences?”

Zhan Jiu looked at Xiang Yuan with anger in his eyes.

Xiang Yuan was afraid that he would not calm down and would act impulsively, so he threatened in a deep voice. “If you dare to go, I will go in and tell Master Zhan immediately, and you will never be able to stay with Master Zhan again.”

Zhan Jiu was silent for a moment, shaking off Xiang Yuan’s hand and moving aside with a stern face.

Xiang Yuan continued, “I can tell you very clearly that if Xiang Wanqiao dies, Master Zhan will not only not live well, but will be worse than now.”

Zhan Jiu kicked the corner of the wall angrily. “I really don’t understand what’s good about that woman. She is simply a disaster. Master Zhan has not had a peaceful day since he married her.”

Xiang Yuan remained calm and even analyzed the situation for him, with a few warnings. “No matter what Xiang Wanqiao is like, as long as Master Zhan doesn’t divorce her, she is Master Zhan’s legitimate wife, and we, his subordinates, can’t say anything here.”

Zhan Jiu said angrily, “I just feel sorry for Master Zhan!”

Zhan Jiu had been with Gu Jingzhan since he was 8 years old. He had been through life and death with him, and he was indeed very capable, as well as Gu Jingzhan’s most trusted subordinate.

However, he was also stubborn and principled, never allowing anyone to betray Gu Jingzhan, let alone hurt him, even if that person was the one Gu Jingzhan loved the most.

Xiang Yuan walked over and patted Zhan Jiu on the shoulder. “Calm down; don’t be so impulsive all the time.”

“Brother Xiang…”

“Okay, Master Zhan didn’t say anything, what can we do?”

Zhan Jiu moved his lips, wanting to say something, but Xiang Yuan put his arm around his shoulders and pulled him away. “Let’s go; I’ll take you back.”

Zhan Jiu sighed lightly and finally followed Xiang Yuan.

In the study, Lu Qingzhou walked to the sofa with a medical box and raised his chin slightly. “Come here; I’ll treat your wound.”

Gu Jingzhan sat there motionless, as if he didn’t hear him.

The atmosphere was stagnant for a while.

“Okay, you are the boss.”

Lu Qingzhou had no choice but to compromise and approached Gu Jingzhan with the medical box.

I really don’t understand what’s so good about Xiang Wanqiao, that woman. Do you have to hurt yourself for her?”

Lu Qingzhou squatted down, helping Gu Jingzhan deal with the wound on his hand while feeling unworthy for him. “She doesn’t have you in her heart at all; why do you force her to stay by your side? Not only does this make her hate you more, but you also torture yourself.”

Gu Jingzhan remained silent and expressionless.

He didn’t even show any reaction to the piercing pain of the alcohol on the wound.

Lu Qingzhou raised his eyes and glanced at him, shaking his head and sighing. If you ask me, you should divorce Xiang Wanqiao as soon as possible so that she and Xiao Xuan’an won’t always think about what crooked ideas you have on you.”

I know my own way about my affairs,” Gu Jingzhan said coldly.

Lu Qingzhou put gauze on his wound, then deliberately pressed it hard, trying to use the pain to bring him back to reality. “Yes, you are very sensible in everything you do, but you are completely irrational when it comes to Xiang Wanqiao.”

Gu Jingzhan closed his eyes, his tone revealing a bit of displeasure. “Why do you have so much nonsense?”

Okay, okay, I won’t say anything.” Lu Qingzhou knew that Gu Jingzhan was in a bad mood, so he refrained from further comments.

He got up with the medicine box, and before leaving, he said, “Remember not to touch your wound with water and go to my place to change the dressing tomorrow morning.”

Gu Jingzhan ignored him.

After Lu Qingzhou left the study, Gu Jingzhan slowly opened his eyes, which were dark and filled with turmoil.

Why?

Why did you break his last unrealistic fantasy so quickly?

Why couldn’t you lie to him a little longer?
