Gu Qingchen’s ruthless decisiveness was something Bei Ran had heard of.
It was in their first year of marriage, inside the Gu Group, one of his confidants, Wang Song, had embezzled public funds to cover his losses in the stock market, and Gu Qingchen personally had him thrown into prison, vowing never to employ him again!
Even though Wang Song knelt before him, tears streaming down, admitting his wrongdoings! And Wang Song’s elderly father died from a stroke caused by the stress of the incident; Gu Qingchen was the attending doctor who attempted the emergency rescue!
Bei Ran was very afraid of this man; he had a lot of money, but he would not allow anyone to deceive him to gain it!
They had just married not long ago, and she was walking on thin ice around him, always being extra cautious!
She couldn’t afford any mistakes; she still had a pair of twin treasures to raise!
Gradually, she became familiar with his temper, and in his presence, she was like a fish in water, playing the role of the obedient wife to perfection.
At this moment, his cold ruthlessness could also be seen from his indifferent handsome face.
Bei Ran didn’t step back but moved forward; she reached out and wrapped her arms around his waist, pressing her face against his chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, softly calling, "Husband..."
After calling out, she didn’t continue speaking, but looked up with her usually bright, star-like eyes filled with tears, somewhat pitiful, but more filled with admiration for him.
"If I were diagnosed with a terminal illness and didn’t have much time left, would you divorce me?" she asked him, her voice choked with emotion.
Gu Qingchen’s heart jolted. If it were true, he wouldn’t!
But, he also knew she was just testing him with her words; she was always smooth in her dealings, and he even "examined" her body every day, having checked even her most private areas, where could a terminal illness come from?
"Don’t talk about such hypothetical things," he reprimanded her authoritatively.
However, Bei Ran just laughed, like the most radiant flower blooming in his heart.
"Husband, I know you won’t!" she said with absolute certainty, her voice extremely gentle and melodious, "I also know, certainly Su Feng must have begged you before, he doesn’t want to be a burden to Yang Ting, Yang Ting is still so young, he hopes after he’s gone, Yang Ting could find a good man to spend her life with, instead of walking into the wedding chapel with him, a man whose life is hanging by a thread."
Gu Qingchen remained silent; this was Su Feng’s wish, this is what a responsible man should do!
Su Feng is going to leave this world! He hopes the person he loves remains immaculate, spending her life with someone able to protect her!
Bei Ran was perceptive and observant; she knew she had hit upon Gu Qingchen’s thoughts.
Suddenly, she tightened her grip on Gu Qingchen’s large hand, overwhelmed to the point of choking up, "Why can you men be so chauvinistic? Thinking that walking away alone is very heroic? You think you are being kind to women, deciding their life for them! But, have you ever listened to what women truly want? She wants to spend her life with him! The meaning of life cannot be measured by its length! That woman loves him with her soul! Even if one day she turns to ashes, she will continue to love him in those ashes!"
