You Claimed You Didn’t Love Me, So Why Cry Now That I’m Engaged? Chapter 160

Chapter 160: I’ll Wait for You at Home

Gu Huaiye suddenly thought of something and looked up at Xie Miaohan, his eyes sparkling.

Under his gaze, Xie Miaohan’s ears began to turn red. He asked softly, “What is it?”

“I finally know why you’re so amazing.”

Even while sick, he could show such powerful boldness at critical moments.

Coming up with a great solution in such a short time.

He shouldn’t have treated Xie Miaohan as a patient. From the moment he took him to the psychologist, he had been walking down the wrong path step by step.

Xie Miaohan should have a normal life.

“Wife, you really are amazing.” Gu Huaiye took the initiative to sit on Xie Miaohan’s lap, hooking his arms around his neck. “I want to reward you tonight.”

Xie Miaohan’s Adam’s apple bobbed.

The dishes hadn’t been washed yet…

Forget it, he wouldn’t remind Gu Huaiye.

He would come out and wash them when they were done.

The next day, Xie Miaohan got up very early and put on a black suit. He looked cold and noble, and also much more spirited.

“You don’t need me to go with you?” Gu Huaiye sat on the bed watching him, his face full of worry and unease. “Do you really know where to find Xiang Wanxing?”

“Mn, he shouldn’t have gone to District B yet. His family situation is complicated; he needs his eldest brother’s permission to go back during the holidays.” Xie Miaohan said while tying his tie, “Ever since he differentiated into an Omega, he suffered from his parents’ indifference, which has made his personality very suspicious now. So it’s best if I go alone.”

Hearing this, Gu Huaiye got out of bed and walked to Xie Miaohan to help him with his tie.

Xie Miaohan lowered his hands and looked down at Gu Huaiye’s face.

“You don’t need to worry about Chen Zirui. Since I promised you I’d help, I will ensure his safety for life.”

Gu Huaiye shook his head. “I’m worried about you. I’ve calmed down a lot now, and I’m a bit concerned this method might not be appropriate. If Xiang Wanxing sees you are sick, will he do anything to you?”

He hadn’t had much contact with Xiang Wanxing, but he knew the man was ruthless. As soon as a pawn lost its value, he would groom a new one.

He was terrified Xie Miaohan would be hurt by Xiang Wanxing.

And Xie Miaohan’s condition was very unstable. Would this decision harm him?

Xie Miaohan saw that Gu Huaiye was overthinking. He smiled and said soothingly to Gu Huaiye, “I’ve dealt with Xiang Wanxing for so long; I understand him quite well. Don’t worry, I know how to handle him.”

Gu Huaiye naturally had confidence in Xie Miaohan. Hearing him say this, he didn’t bring it up again.

He changed the subject. “But is there enough time? Getting the relevant permits approved must take a lot of time, and we also need to restart in District B. I’m afraid Chen Zirui can’t wait for us that long.”

Xie Miaohan patted Gu Huaiye’s shoulder. “I’ve been in the army and am very familiar with the procedures inside. He won’t go to the front lines so quickly; he needs to be trained for a period of time.”

“I will gain Xiang Wanxing’s trust as soon as possible and have him help us establish ourselves in District B.”

“Okay, got it.” Gu Huaiye leaned in and kissed Xie Miaohan’s lips. “Go and come back early. I’ll wait for you at home.”

Xie Miaohan hugged Gu Huaiye reluctantly. After taking a deep breath, he suppressed his anxiety and forced himself to leave the apartment.

After Xie Miaohan left, Gu Huaiye waited at home for news.

He was restless, having no appetite to eat, glancing at his phone screen from time to time.

He didn’t dare call Xie Miaohan, afraid of disturbing him.

By evening, Xie Miaohan finally returned. Gu Huaiye hurriedly got up and went to the entryway.

“Why so late? Are you okay?”

Xie Miaohan’s expression froze for a moment. He thought Gu Huaiye would ask about the result first, but he didn’t expect the first sentence to be out of concern for him.

“I’m fine.” Xie Miaohan’s eyes curved as he smiled at Gu Huaiye. “It’s done. We’ll set off for District B in a week.”

“Resolved so quickly?” Gu Huaiye was surprised. “I thought you guys would have to negotiate for a long time.”

Xie Miaohan wrapped his arms around Gu Huaiye’s waist. As if suffering from skin hunger, he pressed his face against Gu Huaiye’s neck, sniffing around.

“Although he is suspicious, he won’t let any opportunity pass. That’s also why I chose to cooperate with him back then.”

Xie Miaohan’s hot breath hit Gu Huaiye’s skin, tickling his heart. If they weren’t discussing serious matters, he really wanted to push the man onto the bed.

He didn’t know if it was because they had slept in separate beds before, but now he wanted to sleep with Xie Miaohan at the slightest provocation.

In the past, he might have felt humiliated, but now, just like what Chen Zirui told him when he first got together with Xiang Wanxing: just enjoy it.

“I’m going back to the Gu house tomorrow. Do you want to come with me? I plan to pack some luggage to take to District B and discuss this matter with Dad while I’m at it.”

Xie Miaohan said while kissing his ear, “Okay, I’ll go with you.”

“Alright.” Gu Huaiye couldn’t take it anymore and subconsciously pushed Xie Miaohan. “Have you had dinner?”

Xie Miaohan was just about to say he ate with Xiang Wanxing, but glancing at the trash can in the living room, seeing it was unchanged from when he left in the morning, he realized Gu Huaiye probably hadn’t eaten all day.

“Not yet.” Xie Miaohan let go of Gu Huaiye, clutching his stomach. “So hungry.”

Gu Huaiye laughed helplessly and took Xie Miaohan’s hand.

“I found a new barbecue place a few days ago. Come on, let’s go try it.”

“Okay.”

By the time they finished their late-night meal, it was already two or three in the morning.

To get up early to go to the Gu family villa, they quickly showered and went to bed together.

As usual, Gu Huaiye kept thinking about things in his mind to avoid falling asleep too quickly.

When the breathing of the person beside him became steady, he quietly got out of bed, turned on the lamp, and took out the ointment to apply to Xie Miaohan’s wounds.

Just as he expected, it was much worse than usual.

Presumably, Xie Miaohan was so anxious from not seeing him all day that he kept snapping the rubber band.

Gu Huaiye’s heart ached terribly, and he choked out, “Miaomiao has suffered.”

Convincing Father Gu was not easy.

Gu Huaiye talked until his mouth was dry before Father Gu’s attitude softened.

He lit a cigarette, took a drag, and looked worried.

“I’m not an old stick-in-the-mud. If the company can move to District B, that’s naturally for the best.” Father Gu sighed. “I’m mainly worried about you two. Our Gu family has status in District A. If you get bullied, I can step in to protect you anytime. But in District B, I won’t be able to help with anything.”

Gu Huaiye held Father Gu’s wrinkled hand. “Dad, don’t worry. We will take care of ourselves. Besides, Miaomiao knows people in District B; he will help us too.”

“Isn’t he still sick? Would pushing him like this be bad?” Father Gu hesitated. “Actually, our family doesn’t need to be that rich. Having enough for you to spend in this lifetime is enough.”

“This is a joint decision between Miaomiao and me. I also think he should be allowed to shine in the field he excels in, rather than being trapped at home as a patient. I will accompany him; you don’t need to worry about his condition worsening.”

Hearing Gu Huaiye’s tone so firm, Father Gu knew he couldn’t persuade him otherwise.

As a parent, one simply had to constantly compromise for their child.

He patted the back of Gu Huaiye’s hand. “Don’t push yourself too hard. If you really can’t endure it, you and Xie Miaohan can come back anytime.”

“Dad, after I leave, you must take care of yourself.” Gu Huaiye looked at Father Gu reluctantly. “Give us a little time, and we’ll bring you over soon.”

Father Gu waved his hand. “Don’t worry about me. Just go with peace of mind, and remember to call me often.”

“I will,” Gu Huaiye replied with red eyes.

The night before leaving for District B, Gu Huaiye was too nervous to sleep.

He tossed and turned, feeling both longing and fear for the unknown life ahead.

Late at night, at four o’clock, he heard a faint whimpering sound.

Thinking Xie Miaohan was having a nightmare, Gu Huaiye quickly turned over and gently stroked Xie Miaohan’s back.

“Miaomiao, don’t be afraid. It’s just a nightmare.”

Xie Miaohan didn’t wake from the nightmare, mumbling something.

Gu Huaiye leaned in to listen, and then his pupils shrank.

“Brother… please don’t go… Brother… I can’t live without you…”
