Sensing that Cheng Lu wanted to leave, he immediately hugged her tighter.
"I just want to get up."
"Don't go."
She buried her face deeply in his chest. When she heard these words, a deep wound seemed to open in her heart. There was no blood but it was so cold that she almost couldn't bear the pain.
She forced herself to calm down: "I left to protect you. I...can't watch anything happen to you anymore."
Especially now that he has not fully recovered his memory, if he is with her again and if he continues to be targeted, how will she face this world where Gu Ci may not exist in the future?
She reached out and touched his cheek gently, pretending to be relaxed: "I just don't want you to get hurt again. I didn't really leave. I will still be by your side as long as you need it."
It's just that they can't be husband and wife anymore.
She had to let those outside know that she had drawn a clear line with Gu Ci.
Then protect him and guard him in another way.
All along, this man has done a lot for her.
For her, he even risked his own life.
She controlled her emotions and raised her eyes, met Gu Ci's confused eyes, and smiled: "Let me go."
Gu Ci was hit hard in the heart.
He didn't want to see her look like this, she was smiling but her eyes were crying.
She felt very uncomfortable, and he didn't want her to feel so uncomfortable.
He tried to reach out to wipe her tears. As soon as his fingertips touched her cheek, he found that there were no tears at all.
Gu Ci opened his mouth: "Okay."
When she heard that he agreed, she was relieved, but at the same time she felt very sad.
"However, you told me last time that you can perform an operation to make me recover, but this operation is extremely risky and you don't want to let me take the risk. I promised to divorce you, but... I want you to help me
Do this surgery."
"What?"
She was stunned.
Gu Ci's eyes were deep, as if he suddenly returned to his former self.
He is so smart and strategizing that no one can tell that he has lost his memory.
"If you want a divorce, this is the only condition." Gu Ci opened his mouth and bit her little hand.
It's gentle, prickly, not painful at all, but a little itchy.
"no."
She refused immediately.
"If it doesn't work, then don't even think about breaking up."
She bit her lower lip: "You are forcing yourself to do something difficult!"
"Isn't it the same for you?" There was deep pain in his eyes.
Although Gu Ci doesn't remember her or their past, as long as he gets close to her, sees her, and touches her skin, the urge to be entangled with her for the rest of his life will arise spontaneously in his soul.
He couldn't control it because it was instinctive.
With this instinct, he easily understood that this woman was the only one around him.
She is his Lulu.
Now this woman wants a divorce and wants to leave him.
His heart was like a ball of paper that had been crumpled up, and it had long been beyond recognition.
But he also vaguely felt that this little woman looked gentle, but she was actually tough at heart.
If he insists on not agreeing, she might do other things.
Even if Gu Ci was in pain, he didn't want to let her feel pain or embarrassment.
He hugged her tightly: "If you want to achieve your goal, you must do this."
Cheng Lu finally couldn't bear it anymore, hugged his neck and cried bitterly.
The two held each other and cried for a while, before Gu Ci stood up with her in his arms and washed and dressed her like a baby. Cheng Lu suppressed his shyness and wanted to refuse, but what he received in return was a firmer action from the man.
She was no match for his strength, so she had no choice but to obey.
After cleaning up, they went downstairs to eat.
Looking at his big hand holding hers, she had an illusion in a trance - did this man have no amnesia? Why did every move show the same style as before?
After eating, Gu Ci wiped the corner of his mouth: "You can write the divorce agreement. You can write it any way you want. Just give it to me to sign. After I sign, you have to let me go to the operating table and wait for my successful operation.
After that, we will go through the last step of the formalities.”
Cheng Lu was stunned when he heard this: "You...have already thought about it?"
"This is not a difficult task. Since you said so, I have thought of these coping methods in my mind. If you agree, we will start doing it today."
After he finished speaking, he stood up and looked sideways, "I'm going to go to the study to deal with some things first. If you finish it, come call me."
Soon, she was the only one left at the dining table.
She stared blankly at the empty place in front of her, and suddenly burst into laughter.
What does this feel like?
She was obviously the one who initiated the divorce, so why was she so sad when the other party took the initiative?
She quickly got rid of the distracting thoughts in her mind and kept comforting herself - wouldn't this be good? Gu Ci was still the same person as before, but she didn't want him to take this risk, because he might not be able to get off the operating table alive.
After sorting out her emotions, she knocked on the study door.
"Aci."
Gu Ci raised his eyes: "I said that when the two of us are together, you have to call me by my real name."
Cheng Lu took a deep breath and changed his words: "Xing, I want to talk to you about the surgery."
"If you want to persuade me to give up the surgery, I'm sorry, but I won't agree."
"But the risk is really high. Even if I work with the best surgeon, I may not be able to guarantee a certain success rate! I can't let you take the risk!"
The original intention of leaving him was to let him live well.
If the price of divorce is that he can't even survive the surgery, what's the point of leaving like this?
"I can promise you other things, such as giving you the exclusive right to make potions without charging any fees, or you can ask for anything else."
She spoke very quickly, fearing that if she was slow for a second, the man would decisively refuse.
Gu Ci's eyes were deep and he waited until she finished speaking before speaking: "I want you, can you not leave?"
She was dumbfounded.
This proposition is really confusing.
"You won't, you still have to leave." He smiled bitterly, "So what's wrong with me wanting to restore my memory? If I really don't have the life to leave alive, at least I will die in your hands and I will be rewarded.
As you wish.”
Cheng Lu burst into tears.
"What crazy talk are you talking about!?"
"If you want to prove that what I'm saying is not crazy, then help me complete this operation. I don't believe anyone but you, so I can only leave it to you."
Staring at him, her heartbeat couldn't help but beat faster and faster.
Finally she left the study in silence.
It seems that there is no other choice but to bite the bullet.
Gu Ci's life was on both sides, and the only thing she could control was the operation.
She cannot place her slim hopes on the enemy hiding in the dark. Instead of hoping that the other party will not take action, it is better to take all opportunities into her own hands.
She left in a hurry and headed straight to Yaowang Mountain.
