His shoulders slowly dropped, Gu Xijue felt powerless as never before. His mind was blank and his eyes were confused. Who could tell him what he should do? Who could tell him what he should do to get rid of Haitang?
Minimize damage?
With a racing heart, a trembling body, overwhelming despair, lonely fog, icy wind, and boundless darkness, his consciousness was wandering in the darkness, unable to find an outlet for light.
He was horrified to find that the strength in his body was being drained from his limbs bit by bit, and paralysis spread to his whole body. All his thoughts and expressions condensed into ice in an instant. The coldness that spread from the bottom of his heart made him temporarily
Lost the ability to think.
At a loss, a terrible thought suddenly flashed through his mind. He looked cold and stiff, "Begonia...if that child is gone, can you forgive me?"
Xi Haitang's eyes widened suddenly, full of disbelief. Her already haggard face instantly became paler, "What did you say? Say it again?"
"If...if that child is gone..."
"Gu Xijue, you bastard!" She raised her hand and slapped him hard.
Gu Xijue didn't move, his expression was as numb as his heart.
Xi Haitang's voice was trembling, "Do you know what you are talking about? That's your child!"
"That's not what I want!"
"You didn't want Yunhen and Xiaochen either!"
The words woke up the dreamer, Gu Xijue's body shook heavily, his expression was painful, "Haitang, this is different..."
"the same!"
"It's different! You gave birth to Yunhen and Xiaochen, and I love you!"
She shook her head, and her watery eyes reflected his sad and desperate face. After a long time, she slowly spoke, her voice as light as mist, "If you can ignore a life like this, you will never have it again."
You’re qualified to say you love me.”
"Begonia..."
"Stop talking, Gu Xijue, if you still have any conscience, return to the country immediately." Her voice was choked with warmth. She spoke very softly and slowly, but every word was precise.
, hit him hard in the heart.
He suddenly reached out to her and hugged her slender shoulders distressedly. He thought she would throw his hands away, but she didn't. She just stared at him with a slightly silly expression and a sad look on her face.
.
He looked at her, and the corners of his lips curved into a beautiful curve.
He was obviously smiling, but it felt so hurt and painful when he fell into her eyes. Suddenly, she hugged him with her backhand and said, "Let's go, have a safe journey."
He slowly let go of her, looked at her deeply for a while, and then turned and left without looking back. He would not let himself stay here for one more minute or one second. Every time he stayed here, he would
There was even more heartache and reluctance.
As of now, this is all that can be done. For her and herself, this is the best choice.
Xi Haitang looked at Gu Xijue's leaving figure, a hint of sadness flashed across his face, and he twitched the corner of his mouth helplessly, feeling a little sad and a little reluctant to leave.
Turning my head, I caught a glimpse of the flowers on the window sill of the hospital corridor. The petals were lonely, with only the leaves lingering. In an instant, I could see the flowers blooming...

Gu Xijue returned to China. After getting off the plane, he went straight to the maternal and child health center. Along the way, the doctor there called him several times. It must be that the child could not be saved.
Not surprisingly, he saw Gu Xichao at the door of the ward.
I don’t know why, Gu Xijue is actually very calm at this moment, which was almost unimaginable before. He and Gu Xichao have been opposed to each other since childhood, fighting to the death for everything, but now, he can’t even say a word to him.
I have no strength left.
In the ward, Rou'er was still in a daze. She had not even held her baby since it was born.
After the doctor saw Gu Xijue, he breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Mr. Gu, you are here. I'm sorry, the child's condition is getting worse... Well... you take it to her mother to take a look.
Well... we are blood relatives after all..."
"Yeah." Gu Xijue nodded expressionlessly.
The nurse quickly picked up the baby from the nursery. Gu Xijue's hands were trembling when he took the baby. The baby was really small, much smaller than when Yunhen was born, with a wrinkled face.
, a little pale, like anemia...
The nurse opened the door to Jian Yirou's ward for him and repeatedly warned, "Be careful not to irritate her."
"Yeah." Gu Xijue nodded lightly and walked in with the baby in his arms. Unexpectedly, Gu Xichao also followed in.
With thin lips and tight lips, Gu Xijue didn't say anything. Gu Xichao and Rou'er were a couple after all, so it was normal to see them.
"Rou'er... Rou'er..." Gu Xijue called Jian Yirou softly, trying to find clarity in her confused eyes.
Jian Yirou slowly turned her head and blinked, "Are you calling me?"
"Yes, I am calling you, you are Rou'er."
She shook her head, her expression a little confused, "I'm not Rou'er, I'm Xin'er... I'm Yi Xin... I'm Yi Xin..."
Gu Xijue's heart sank. He glanced at Gu Xichao from the corner of his eye and saw a heaviness in his eyes, although it was only for a short second.
"Rou'er, look at this child...she is your daughter..." Seeing that Jian Yirou's condition was relatively stable, Gu Xijue moved the baby closer to her.
"My daughter?!" Jian Yirou was confused and pointed to her nose, looking unconvinced.
Gu Xijue patiently comforted her, "Yes, this is your child...look at her..."
Jian Yirou's expression was strange. She looked down at the baby in his arms and shook her head, "She is not my child...she doesn't look like me at all..."
Gu Xijue was slightly startled. Indeed, this child did not look like Rou'er.
Jian Yirou looked at Gu Xijue and smiled foolishly, "This child looks like you, his eyes are similar..."
She stood up and looked at Gu Xijue in circles. She raised her head inadvertently and saw Gu Xichao, who had been standing at the door of the ward since she entered the door. She shuddered suddenly...
"It's strange, why do you two look so similar? Then this kid also looks like him! What on earth is going on?"
