You Claimed You Didn’t Love Me, So Why Cry Now That I’m Engaged? Chapter 77

Chapter 77: Something Happened to Your Gu Family

Xie Miaohan dared not look at Gu Huaiye’s face; he was afraid of seeing disgust in the other’s eyes.

But the long silence made him feel like he was facing judgment; every second was torment.

“I’m sorry.” Xie Miaohan picked up his clothes in a somewhat wretched manner, his voice trembling as he said, “I’ve already contacted the hospital. I’ll undergo skin grafting surgery in a while to see if it can look a bit better. If you really think I’m disgusting like a monster, I can avoid taking off my clothes in front of you for the rest of my life.”

“No need for surgery.” Gu Huaiye’s voice was urgent. “You can’t have surgery anymore.”

He still couldn’t forget the scene from his past life where Xie Miaohan nearly died from massive bleeding on the operating table.

Gu Huaiye took the initiative to hug Xie Miaohan’s waist, pressing his face against his chest.

“I think they are symbols of bravery; there’s no need to specially remove them.”

Gu Huaiye was truly afraid Xie Miaohan would lose his mind and run off to get surgery, so he raised his head, half-lowered his eyes, and placed a very light kiss on the most obvious gunshot wound on Xie Miaohan’s chest.

Xie Miaohan’s breath hitched, and his eyes grew moist.

He suddenly hugged Gu Huaiye tightly, burying his face in the other’s neck.

Gu Huaiye knew he was crying again and helplessly patted his back, soothing him like coaxing a child.

Seeing the atmosphere had softened a bit, Gu Huaiye couldn’t help but say, “Can you let me go back to District A? I don’t belong here, and I can’t leave my dad for too long. I want to go back.”

Xie Miaohan’s body stiffened, his voice muffled. “I can bring your father over. The medical care and education here are better than in District A. Your father is more suited to staying here.”

Gu Huaiye shook his head. “Our home is over there; he won’t be willing to come.”

Xie Miaohan didn’t want to break the rare moment of warmth and chose not to speak further on this topic.

For the next few days, Gu Huaiye didn’t see Xie Miaohan again.

It was said that something happened at the border again, and Xie Miaohan would be gone for at least half a month.

He had no phone to contact the outside world and couldn’t leave District B. As soon as he left the villa, someone would follow him.

Even if kind-hearted passersby wanted to help him, seeing two or three soldiers following Gu Huaiye, they would be scared away immediately.

Gu Huaiye felt like he was going crazy.

He was no different from a canary locked in a cage now.

The only benefit was that his range of movement was wide; as long as he didn’t leave District B, he could go anywhere.

Gu Huaiye was really worried about Chen Xialin. After thinking it over, he decided to use words to break down the people constantly monitoring his movements.

“You should know where my friend is kept, right?” Gu Huaiye forced a smile at them, his eyes pleading. “Your superior only said I can’t leave District B, so I can at least go see my friend, right?”

“Sorry, Commander Xie ordered that you cannot meet.”

Gu Huaiye’s face darkened. “He even gave such an order? He’s my friend; I’m not taking him away, I just want to see him. Even that’s not allowed?”

The man didn’t speak, but his attitude said everything.

Xie Miaohan forbade them from meeting, not even a phone call.

Gu Huaiye bit his lip, suppressed his anger, and asked, “Then you can at least tell me how he is. He’s an Omega and has a susceptibility period every month. Being locked in a strange place, he must be very scared.”

He remembered Chen Xialin had a fear of confined spaces.

When he was little, he was often bullied by classmates. If locked in a room, he would be scared enough to wet his pants.

“Mr. Gu, please rest assured.” The man looked serious, giving Gu Huaiye no chance to break his defense. “We have prepared inhibitors; he won’t be tormented by his susceptibility period.”

“You lock him up like a prisoner; how can I rest assured?”

The man refused to speak again.

Gu Huaiye was unwilling to give up just like that and wanted to say something more when he suddenly heard Chen Zirui’s voice.

He quickly turned his head and saw Chen Zirui sitting in a limited-edition sports car, leaning out to wave at him.

“Brother Gu! Holy shit! It really is you; I said I didn’t see wrong!” Chen Zirui grinned. “I missed you so fucking much.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a very soft voice came from inside.

“That also counts as bad language.”

Chen Zirui turned to look inside. “You have so many issues. If you don’t like listening, plug your ears.”

Xiang Wanxing: “…”

Gu Huaiye’s face lit up with joy, and he wanted to go over to talk to Chen Zirui.

But the soldier following him immediately extended an arm to stop him.

“Mr. Gu, you cannot go over there.”

“Why?” Gu Huaiye frowned in confusion. “You didn’t stop me from talking to passersby; why is he not allowed?”

“He has a prior record of abducting you.”

Gu Huaiye: “…”

Isn’t that a bit ridiculous?

“With so many of you watching, even if I wanted to leave with him, I couldn’t escape, right?”

The man still refused to lower his arm.

“Fuck.”

Chen Zirui hurriedly got out of the car and walked over, puffing with anger.

But two other soldiers blocked his path, even intentionally or unintentionally touching the guns at their waists.

Chen Zirui immediately chickened out.

He was afraid of those things.

“Just chatting for a bit, no need to make the atmosphere so tense.” Xiang Wanxing also got out of the car and stood in front of Chen Zirui. “You don’t need to worry. If Gu Huaiye runs away, I can take full responsibility.”

The few looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, and decided not to block them anymore, moving a bit further away with Xiang Wanxing.

“Brother Gu, how are you?” Chen Zirui held Gu Huaiye’s shoulders, nervously checking Gu Huaiye all over with his eyes. “Did that bastard bully you?”

Gu Huaiye guiltily looked away.

“Don’t worry, he couldn’t bully me; I’m the top.”

Chen Zirui protected Gu Huaiye’s pride and didn’t expose him.

“That’s good.” Chen Zirui changed the subject. “By the way, something happened to your Gu family. Xie Miaohan’s people repeatedly went to disturb your father, wanting to bring him to District B. Uncle refused to come and got too agitated, so he was admitted to the hospital.”

Gu Huaiye’s heart sank, and he hurriedly grabbed Chen Zirui’s sleeve.

“How is my dad now?”

“No major issues for now, he just needs to be hospitalized for observation for a while.”

Gu Huaiye’s face looked somewhat ugly; he bit his lip tightly and said nothing.

Chen Zirui thought for a moment and felt he might have made it sound too serious, so he comforted, “Don’t worry, I’ll go back to District A tomorrow to take care of your dad. If anything happens, I’ll…”

Right, he had no way to contact Gu Huaiye.

That bastard Xie Miaohan wouldn’t even leave a phone for Gu Huaiye.

Chen Zirui looked around, and while those people weren’t paying attention, he quickly stuffed his phone into Gu Huaiye’s pocket.

“The password is my birthday. Use it for now; don’t let Xie Miaohan find out.” Chen Zirui said, “Anyway, if there’s news, I’ll call or text you.”

Gu Huaiye nodded gratefully.

“Thanks.”
