Eleven did not deny it, saying things like "heâs not my husband".
She also thought he was really great.
In that situation, he actually chose to save her.
Although the fact that they have two children is undeniable, whoâs to say for sure these days? There are men who abandon their wives in times of danger, he could have completely chosen to ignore her in that moment.
The courage he showed was not something that having children could grant.
"Go home and cook him some ginseng soup to replenish his strength. He lost a lot of blood today."
While stitching up his wound, Eleven held him like this, leaning on his shoulder, and was slightly moved.
Gu Liancheng also noticed her abnormal behaviour today. Ever since they left the Gu Residence, she seemed a bit off, as if she wanted to say something but didnât.
"Whatâs wrong with you?"
"That family, have they always treated you like this?"
He was injured, bleeding heavily, and yet among all those people standing there, not a single one cared about the severity of his injuries.
Even strangers would ask about the situation when they came across such a scene, wouldnât they?
At the Gu Residence, she saw too many indifferent eyes, which made her feel uncomfortable.
"They, ah..." Gu Liancheng nodded, "Yes, itâs like that. Whatâs wrong?"
"I always feel itâs very excessive."
Gu Liancheng laughed, "Theyâve always been excessive."
He stopped taking it seriously a long time ago.
Just keep acting as they should.
Hurt him?
Thatâs unnecessary.
No matter how aggrieved or suffering he was today, it was all him, so why did it seem like this girl was the one feeling aggrieved now?
He leaned back, created a distance between them with one hand, and looked at her, asking, "What... Could it be that Qianxun is feeling sorry for me?"
Thatâs right, her expression clearly showed sympathy, right?
"Yes, I feel sorry!" Eleven admitted without any hesitation, "You donât know, when I see them bullying you like this, my heart aches!"
With her being so straightforward, Gu Liancheng was taken aback for a moment and didnât know how to respond.
Eleven continued, "Iâve taken care of you for so many years. Who do they think they are, bullying you! Did they ask for my opinion? If someoneâs to bully you, shouldnât I be the first to know?"
"..." Is this her true feelings?
"I was thinking the whole way that if I hadnât agreed to go to the banquet with Gu Tianyu, Xu Mandi wouldnât have attacked me; if she didnât attack me, you wouldnât have gotten injured."
This was self-blame and her guilt for Gu Liancheng all along the journey.
"Donât blame yourself, the one who let Xu Mandi in was me."
"What?" Eleven widened her eyes.
"Donât look at me like that, it wasnât my intention. When I came in, I heard that she was haggling with the security at the door and heard that it was Xu Mandi and that she was divorced from Gu Tianyu. I allowed her in to expose Gu Tianyuâs deeds in front of the Gu family. But I didnât expect that the fake Mandy that came would be you, which really surprised me. And I didnât expect she would go crazy and attack you."
So thatâs what happened...
"So, Gu Qianxun, you may ask me why you accompanied Gu Tianyu? Is it because I didnât take you with me, so you figured out your own way?"
"Who I go with has nothing to do with you!" Seeing him glare, Eleven continued, "If you hadnât gotten injured, I probably wouldâve said that... If I didnât go with Gu Tianyu tonight, he... he wanted me to sleep with him for a night..."
"What?!" Gu Liancheng almost jumped up in shock.
The doctor shouted: "Donât move around! What if the stitches get misaligned?"
