Chapter 76: I’m Really So Sad
Gu Huaiye had been sitting in the passenger seat for a while, but his body still couldn’t stop shivering.
Xie Miaohan pressed his lips together and quietly turned on the car heater.
“Huaiye, you don’t need to be so afraid of me. I’m not angry anymore.”
Gu Huaiye hugged his arms uneasily. After a moment, he mustered the courage to glare at Xie Miaohan.
“But you pointed a gun at my friend. Did you really want to kill him just now?”
“I was just warning him.”
“You still can’t point a gun at someone. What did he do wrong? He just wanted to rescue me.”
Xie Miaohan gripped the steering wheel tight, his eyes dark. “So you also feel that staying by my side is like a prison?”
“Is it not?”
Xie Miaohan let out a cold laugh. “Then you really have been wronged.”
“Of course I’m wronged. You brought me to District B without a word and threatened my father to hand over my documents.” Gu Huaiye clenched his fists, his anger surpassing his fear. The more he spoke, the more worked up he got. “You even imprisoned Chen Xialin. He was pitiful enough already; what right do you have to bully him like this?”
“Do not mention him in front of me,” Xie Miaohan said through gritted teeth, word by word.
“Why can’t I mention him? Did I say something wrong?”
Xie Miaohan was driving and didn’t want to argue with him. He forcibly suppressed his jealousy and ignored Gu Huaiye’s words.
After a while, Gu Huaiye finally noticed the bloodstains on Xie Miaohan’s clothes, and his heart leaped into his throat.
“You’re hurt?” Gu Huaiye asked anxiously. “Is it from the car crash just now?”
Xie Miaohan curled his lips self-mockingly. “So you can care about me too?”
“What are you being sarcastic for?”
Gu Huaiye was genuinely worried. He reached out, intending to pull up his clothes to see where he was hurt.
“Don’t touch me.” Xie Miaohan’s voice suddenly rose as he snapped, “That’s not my blood.”
Gu Huaiye’s movement paused, and he sheepishly withdrew his hand.
“Why are you so fierce?” Gu Huaiye complained, feeling a bit aggrieved.
The car finally fell silent.
After a long while, Xie Miaohan finally spoke, “Something happened outside the palace. I went to suppress the riot and accidentally got some rioters’ blood on me.”
Gu Huaiye was silent for a moment before whispering, “Do you kill people often?”
“Mhm.” Xie Miaohan nodded. “To climb to this position, naturally, I have to get a lot of blood on my hands.”
“Are you… afraid?”
Xie Miaohan twitched the corner of his lips. “I have nothing to be afraid of.”
Gu Huaiye suddenly didn’t know what to say.
He leaned against the car window, gazing at the scenery outside.
He had to return to the cage Xie Miaohan had built for him.
Xie Miaohan said he wasn’t angry, but after taking Gu Huaiye back to the villa, he pressed him onto the bed and punished him severely.
“Why can’t I leave my pheromones?” Xie Miaohan kissed the back of Gu Huaiye’s neck, his voice helpless. “If I could leave pheromones on you, they wouldn’t dare take you away.”
Gu Huaiye felt awful. Tears spilled from the corners of his eyes as he pushed against Xie Miaohan’s chest.
“Don’t do this; your pheromones are suffocating me. I won’t run away. I was wrong.”
“You won’t learn your lesson.” Xie Miaohan bit his lip angrily. “As long as I let my guard down, you’ll try every way to leave me.”
“I’m really so sad. Can’t you treat me a little better? Stay by my side obediently, okay?”
“I’ve already tried so hard. Do you still think I’m not good enough for you?”
Gu Huaiye’s head was spinning; he couldn’t hear clearly what he was saying at all.
When he finally sobered up, the sky outside the window was already dark.
Xie Miaohan seemed to have cleaned him up; there was no discomfort.
Gu Huaiye wanted to get up but found Xie Miaohan holding him so tight he couldn’t move at all.
He had to give up. Borrowing the moonlight from the window, he studied Xie Miaohan’s face closely.
He didn’t know if it was because Xie Miaohan was in a high position now, but he felt the person before him didn’t quite match the one from his past life.
Violent, suspicious.
Stopping at nothing until he achieved his goal.
For the Xie Miaohan of the past life, he probably felt both hate and love.
But now, he felt a trace of fear.
If he didn’t leave here, he really would suffocate.
And he was also very worried about Father Gu’s health. Without his supervision, Father Gu definitely wouldn’t go for checkups on time.
With so much going on in the company, he didn’t want Father Gu to work himself to collapse again.
Gu Huaiye looked away, no longer looking at Xie Miaohan’s face.
Just then, he noticed something suspicious.
Every time they went to bed, Xie Miaohan was fully dressed, unwilling to unbutton even a single button.
Meanwhile, he was stripped clean by Xie Miaohan.
Thinking of this, Gu Huaiye couldn’t help but feel a bit angry.
Did Xie Miaohan think of him as a pet for pleasure?
Giving him absolutely no respect.
Gu Huaiye bit his lip and reached out to unbutton Xie Miaohan’s shirt.
He had only undone one button when Xie Miaohan woke up instantly and grabbed his wrist.
“What are you doing?”
“Why won’t you take off your clothes?” Gu Huaiye glared at him, his smile carrying a touch of mockery. “You keep calling me husband, yet you dress yourself up tight. Xie Miaohan, you’re satisfied, but what about me? You’re a Commander now, so you can toy with me however you want, right?”
Xie Miaohan frowned and said something baffling.
“You won’t want to see it.”
“See what?”
“Husband, let go, okay?” Xie Miaohan softened his tone.
But Gu Huaiye felt something was wrong with him and insisted on seizing this issue.
Maybe he guessed right; Xie Miaohan just wanted revenge on him and didn’t really like him.
How funny. Tortured for ten years in the past life, and in this life, he still had to bully him.
Gu Huaiye let go weakly and turned his back to Xie Miaohan.
He didn’t know how long passed before Gu Huaiye heard the rustling of clothes.
Gu Huaiye froze and instinctively turned to look.
But Xie Miaohan covered his eyes with his hand, his tone carrying an indescribable sense of fragility.
“Can you promise me not to be disgusted with me after you see?”
Gu Huaiye nodded, confused.
Xie Miaohan turned on the room lights and moved the hand covering Gu Huaiye’s eyes.
A blinding light hit him.
Gu Huaiye squinted in discomfort.
Immediately after, he saw Xie Miaohan’s scar-ridden body.
There were gunshot wounds and knife scars.
Xie Miaohan lowered his eyes, his eyelashes trembling slightly. Self-loathing almost drowned him; he didn’t dare look up at Gu Huaiye.
In the past life, Gu Huaiye couldn’t even accept the scar on his wrist.
Let alone this ugly body of his now.
He must be absolutely disgusted.
