Chapter 68 – I Am Afraid (2)

With one hand she felt his body temperature while the other hand sneaked inside his robe and rubbed his chest, searching for a heartbeat.

He’s fine…

The maid she had accosted quickly fled the scene as soon as she saw the Master and Madam embracing.

Bai Qingyan sneaked another glance at Gu Yezhi, checking for anything out of the ordinary. She didn’t find anything amiss. Her husband was in peak condition.

She hugged him tightly as tears streamed down her face. She had found him and he was okay, so she had no strength to hold them back anymore.

“Yezhi, I’m afraid.”

I’m so afraid of…

She was afraid of another dream. She more than deserved to die for all that she had put him through, but he couldn’t die. She refused to allow him to die.

Gu Yezhi reached out toward her, but his hand froze in midair. It was interesting how, not long ago, she was shouting Gu Hang’s name as she slept. Now that she was awake, she clung to him like a sloth.

He smiled mockingly, ashamed of himself. Even though he knew she didn’t love him, he still didn’t want to let her go. He also thought that even if he couldn’t have her heart, he could isolate her from everyone and keep his wife all to himself.

It was pathetic to the point of being ridiculous.

Putting on his cold and distant facade once more, he questioned her. “What’s wrong? Didn’t I satisfy you just now? Were you desperate to see me and rip my clothes off?”

“Yezhi…” Bai Qingyan looked at him and ignored his teasing, more tears coursing down her face. “I… I dreamed of you.”

Gu Yezhi couldn’t stop himself from sneering at her words. Dreamed of him? What a liar! She had been dreaming about Gu Hang, calling for him from her dreams!

She truly was an excellent student of the Weicheng Film Academy. Her acting skills were impressive, so outstanding that she could easily win an Oscar Award for Best Actress.

He pulled her away from him, feeling agitated. “What did you dream about?”

She didn’t allow him to create distance between them, holding onto him as he tried to pry her away. Shoving her face in his chest again, she practically bathed him in her tears. “I… “

She couldn’t tell him.

She had been so bad before, she didn’t want him to know that Bai Qingyan. However, there was no way to avoid it now. He was waiting for a response. She couldn’t lie to him, but maybe she could omit some parts.

“I… I dreamed that you were hurt…”

She looked up at him. At the same time, Gu Yezhi looked down at her.

He could see the unshed tears still clinging onto her eyelashes. The ones that had already fallen had been like spears piercing his chest through blood and bone, breaking the shell protecting his heart.

As he watched her cry, he couldn’t stop the feeling of melancholy taking over him. Sweeping her into his embrace, he stopped restraining himself and gently told her: “It was just a dream.”

“But I’m scared!” Bai Qingyan tightened her hands around his waist.

Gu Yezhi sighed as he held her firmly. He was hopeless.

Before, he gritted his teeth in anger and wanted to strangle her in her sleep. Now, just from seeing her cry he became a victim. He couldn’t stop himself from caring about her. It didn’t mean his heart wasn’t in pain from it all.

Everyone thought his life was smooth and that he got whatever he wanted. Little did they know, his wife, his beloved wife loved another man.

He felt sad, but he was willing to endure this sadness. He couldn’t give up. He was in too deep and couldn’t let go anymore.

Gu Yezhi lifted his wife in his arms.

Bai Qingyan curled up in his grasp, holding tightly onto his neck with one hand. The other hand moved up to touch where, in another life, a hole had been on his head.
