âWhen the president wakes up, I wonât have any objections to whatever punishment you wish to give me. But please donât be calculative with me now. I still have to protect you and the president!â
Qiao Xi reached out to support him and said in a light voice, âThis has nothing to do with you.â
Someone wanted to harm her and Gu Zheng. Even if they didnât succeed this time, they would still attack another time. Song Shijing couldnât be blamed for this. The enemy was too vicious.
Song Shijing stood up and walked out of the ward quietly.
Qiao Xi bent down and hugged Gu Lele in her arms, gently caressing his body. He called out to Gu Zheng, then left Qiao Xiâs embrace and directly jumped onto Gu Zhengâs bed.
He was very smart and did not step on Gu Zhengâs body. He just walked along the side of the bed to Gu Zhengâs cheek and used his small head to touch Gu Zhengâs face. Seeing that Gu Zheng was unconscious, he carefully licked his cheek.
Seeing that his father had no reaction, Gu Lele tilted her head and stared at the person on the bed in confusion.
When Qiao Xi saw this scene, tears instantly blurred her vision.
âGu Zheng, wake up! You promised to protect me. You canât go back on your word. If you donât wake up, someone will bully me soon.
âYour son is here to see you. Gu Lele has gained weight again. If you donât protect us, the Gu family will skin us alive!â
Qiao Xi muttered to herself until her mouth was dry, but the man on the bed still had no reaction. She couldnât control her tears and even wanted to cry.
âGu Zheng, weâre now connected by blood. If you die, Iâll die with you. Iâm still so young. I still have many things to do. Can you bear to let me die?
âDidnât Third Brother say that you would wake up soon? Why hasnât there been any reaction after so long? Iâve already risked my life to save you. If you really die, Iâll be in a terrible state!
âGu Zheng! You bastard! Donât scare me! I donât want to die yet! Boo-hoo! Damn it, Iâm so beautiful and have such a good figure. Iâm a beauty thatâs hard to come by in a hundred years. Am I going to die like this?â
At this moment, Gu Zheng gradually regained consciousness. His body was in intense pain as if he had been crushed. His face was wet, and there was a furry thing rubbing against his face.
After that, he regained his sense of hearing. There was a noisy person crying and shouting in his ears. It was very noisy, but he didnât feel annoyed because he knew that this person was his beloved Mrs. Gu.
Gu Zhengâs head felt like it was about to explode. He slowly opened his eyes and first saw the enlarged version of Gu Lele before him. Then, he saw the crying Mrs. Gu.
âGu Zheng, if we die together, will we dominate the trending topics? The netizens will say that the extraordinarily handsome President Gu died in a car accident, while Mrs. Gu died from heartbreak!
âEven if youâre not thinking of yourself, you have to think of me! I donât want to die yet! I havenât given birth yet! I havenât eaten all the delicacies in the world!â
Gu Zheng seemed to have understood something because he heard Qiao Xiâs inner voice. He said weakly, âMrs. Gu.â
Qiao Xiâs eyes suddenly widened as she stared at the man on the bed in disbelief. Then, she probed, âGu⦠Gu Zheng?â
âIâm here.â
After these two words were spoken, Gu Zheng only heard an earth-shattering wail resounding in his ears. However, this was actually Qiao Xiâs inner voice. In reality, she was suppressing her sobs and only silently shedding tears.
With great effort, Gu Zheng raised his hand and caressed her cheeks, wiping away her tears. Suppressing the burning sensation in his throat, he said hoarsely, âDonât cry.â
He only said a few words before he felt a sharp pain in his body. It was so painful that his forehead was covered in sweat, but he still gritted his teeth and said, âIâll be sad if you cry.â
Qiao Xiâs nose felt sour.
Just then, Song Shijing knocked on the door and walked in. He was surprised to see Gu Zheng awake. âPresident, youâre awake.â
âYou should have gone to Gu Corporation three days ago, but you never showed up. I found an excuse to brush off the board of directors, and they believe me. Now, should we release the news of your injury?â
Qiao Xi knew that this matter had been suppressed. Otherwise, if Gu Yao knew that his brother had been injured in a car accident, he would have come over long ago. How could he not have made any movements?
