Campus Ace Girl

Chapter 1240: Chapter 1340: Will She Forgive Me?

King Jingyao didn’t make a sound, slowly walked over to sit by the bed, and focused on looking at Lin Hua.

Lin Hua’s face was pale, her lips tightly pressed together, and even though her brow was lightly furrowed, it was clear she was in great pain even if she wasn’t awake. He thought perhaps she was having a nightmare, but he couldn’t shake her awake and comfort her in his arms like before.

He looked at Lin Hua, and Gu Anxi looked at him.

After a long time, she finally asked, "Did something happen to you? Lin Hua isn’t a reckless person."

King Jingyao’s fingers gently touched Lin Hua’s face and after a while, he hoarsely said, "I made her sad, but... I didn’t do anything to betray her."

These brief two sentences contained so much information that even someone as smart as Gu Anxi thought for a minute to guess what it was. She quietly looked at King Jingyao and softly said, "She is your wife and your relative; apart from you and Xiao Yue, she has hardly any family left in this world. Her being like this... she must be very hurt."

King Jingyao lowered his head, his hands covering his face.

Unprecedented embarrassment and depression, rare fear, he asked hoarsely, "Will she forgive me?"

"I don’t know," Gu Anxi mumbled, "If it were me, I probably wouldn’t."

His stance was so low, you can imagine it was some matter of principle... without a child now, even if Lin Hua doesn’t leave, the feelings will probably fade a lot, won’t they? She remembered a long time ago when she first came to Beicheng, Lin Hua looked at her old brother with admiration, full of reverence. That was the best time!

But he didn’t want it; if it weren’t for the following matters, they wouldn’t have ended up together. Yes, Feng Sheng is a thorn in his heart, but it’s also a stab in Lin Hua’s heart, probably deeper than in King Jingyao’s. She thought the one who most hoped Feng Sheng wouldn’t return was Lin Hua, wasn’t it? Although this is somewhat selfish, it is also human nature.

Meeting face to face, what’s the point, like this?

After Gu Anxi finished speaking, King Jingyao didn’t say anything more, just continued to quietly watch Lin Hua...

...

At two in the afternoon, Wang Jingchuan came over and mentioned an important meeting, asking if it should be postponed. King Jingyao didn’t even shift his gaze: "Let Zhou Yunchen preside over it, if not invite Min Xin back... if there’s really no one, then I won’t be Mr. Wang anymore, whoever wants to be can be."

He was unusually exhausted, speaking in such a sulky manner.

Wang Jingchuan, upon hearing this, calculated in his mind and already had an idea, but he still gently comforted, "You being with your wife will soon make things better."

King Jingyao lowered his eyes...

Wang Jingchuan sighed softly and left, just happening to bump into Gu Anxi at the door.

Gu Anxi looked at him, Wang Jingchuan closed the door and walked a little farther with her before softly saying, "It’s not like it used to be, I’ve never seen Mister Wang like this."

Gu Anxi said very lightly, "Why act rashly!"

Wang Jingchuan got anxious, afraid she wouldn’t speak for her boss in the future, quickly said, "Mister Wang still loves his wife."

"I know." Gu Anxi leaned against the wall, clenched her fist: "Otherwise, I wouldn’t let him off first!"

This intensity caused Wang Jingchuan’s heart to suddenly thump, wanting to probe her attitude further, but the office was really full, so he hurriedly left.

After he left, Gu Anxi turned and wanted to enter the ward, but someone grabbed her collar from behind, and when she turned her head, it was her uncle...

Gu Anxi was startled for a moment, murmuring, "Uncle."

Bo Xichen smiled warmly, pulling her into his arms to touch her small head, "Let them stay alone for a while."

She was still stunned, looking up at him.

Bo Xichen directly took her to his office, poured her a cup of hot milk tea, and Gu Anxi only felt warm after taking a sip. She stayed dazed for a moment and said, "So it turns out winter is approaching."

She also looked at the window, finding ice flowers had formed.

Bo Xichen stood behind her, holding her delicate shoulders carefully to encircle her in his arms, his chin nudging her hair, and said softly, "What are you thinking about?"

"Thinking about old brother and Lin Hua," Gu Anxi murmured, "Uncle..."

In his arms, she turned, naturally hugging his waist, and asked him, "Back then, there was Qin Siyuan too. You... weren’t angry?"

He gazed at her with gentle eyes, "You like me, not him, what’s there to be angry about."

Gu Anxi blinked, stubbornly asked, "Didn’t you doubt at all that I couldn’t let go in my heart?"

He lowered his head, thoughtfully brushing her hair, then faintly smiled, "No doubts, probably we progressed too quickly to have any doubts before we were already together."

She said "oh", feeling he explained clearly, but also seemed to say nothing. Yet she didn’t want to ask more, obediently resting her head on his shoulder, "Uncle, do you think they will reconcile?"

Bo Xichen smiled slightly, didn’t answer her and just gently patted her little head, treating her like a child.

Gu Anxi waited eagerly for a long time without a response and complained, "Uncle."

Bo Xichen sighed, "Only they themselves really know."

Gu Anxi responded with an "oh", and was forced by him to take a nap. It prevented her from running to the ward to upset King Jingyao. After all, men understand men more, and at this time King Jingyao didn’t want to see anyone, especially Anxi, who could go off at any moment...

Ward.

King Jingyao stayed with Lin Hua all the time, from morning till afternoon, without drinking a drop of water.

At four o’clock, Wang Jingchuan came over again, knowing he hadn’t eaten and deliberately brought some soup.

King Jingyao’s voice was very light, "I don’t want to eat, take it away."

Wang Jingchuan sighed, "How can you not eat, at least have a little. You’ll need to take care of things later."

He added, "The old lady already knows about it."

King Jingyao’s eyes turned red as he stared at him, "She knows about the child too?"

Wang Jingchuan didn’t dare to say a word.

King Jingyao stared at him for a long time before speaking hoarsely, "What did the old lady say?"

Secretary Wang mustered the courage to say, "The old lady is coming over soon."

King Jingyao exhaled, "Weren’t you told not to let her know!?"

Wang Jingchuan lowered his eyes, "It couldn’t be kept secret, the news is everywhere..."

He added softly, "Don’t worry, I’ll make sure that young girl won’t say anything that could harm Mr. Wang."

King Jingyao gave a self-mocking smile, "So what if it gets out! Lin Hua and I are already like this."

Wang Jingchuan was shocked to see him so despondent, and after a while he tried to persuade him, "Things will pass eventually, you have to hold on, the office can’t do without you, your wife needs you, and so do the old man and the old lady..."

King Jingyao gave a bitter smile and then said to Wang Jingchuan, "Help me keep an eye on things, I’m going to smoke a cigarette."

Wang Jingchuan nodded, "Alright."

King Jingyao went out, soon took out a cigarette, and had just taken a puff when he was suddenly hit on the back of the head. He was both surprised and angry; given his stature, who would dare do this to him?

But when he turned around, it was no one else but his old father, and suddenly all his anger dissipated.

Old Wang was usually very dignified, always leaving matters for the old lady to handle while he played the good guy. But this time, the old man couldn’t hold back. Even hitting him with a stick didn’t vent his anger, and while panting he said, "Still have the face to smoke here? Do you know how much your wife has suffered for you?"

King Jingyao put out the cigarette and stepped on it... without daring to make a sound.

One old man was bad enough, but there was also the old lady standing beside him, her face looking rather grim, as if a storm was brewing.

After a long time, he could only smile bitterly, "How could I not know! My heart aches too."

"Heartache my ass!" the old man sneered repeatedly, "When you were hugging and cuddling that young girl, did you ever think about your wife? You’re usually the jealous type, but when it’s your turn, you don’t consider Lin Hua’s feelings, or do you think she won’t notice and pretend it didn’t happen?"

King Jingyao gave another bitter smile, "Truly, I didn’t think that way, it’s just... we had a fight and things got out of hand."

The old man didn’t want to hear his explanation and was about to scold him when the old lady spoke, "Alright, alright. Since you have a young charmer outside, then don’t need your wife... Well, Lin Hua is almost forty, how can she compare to those fresh young girls in their early twenties? Men are all like this! But if you don’t want her, I can take her in as my goddaughter and raise her like Anxi. When you marry a new wife, calling her sister would be appropriate."

Her words left King Jingyao utterly ashamed, "What kind of talk is that, old lady! I never had such thoughts."

The old lady sneered again, "You dare not think it, but you dare do it!"

The old lady, always strict, spared even her own son, "Let me ask you, now that your dealings with that little charmer caused Lin Hua to lose the child, do you think she will forgive you?"

She paused, half-serious and half-taunting, "You think I’m scolding you? I’m actually helping you find a way out."

King Jingyao, aware of the old lady’s current fury, could only endure whatever she spewed at him...

That child, not only was he hopeful about it, but so were the old man and the old lady.

Now, he had let them down...
