Chapter 433: Chapter 387 I Don’t Want Your Hands Covered in Blood_2
"What tone is this? Is she not your mother? With Mu Shuoqian as your backer, you can now disown your relatives?"
"I’m sorry, I appreciate that she gave birth to me, but I would rather not have such a mother who builds her happiness on the suffering of others. Such people do not deserve happiness." Gu Qili looked at her with a serene gaze, "And you need to add another crime to your charges--kidnapping."
Gu Yunxi suddenly widened her eyes; this was not what she had imagined. Wasn’t her sister supposed to be a kind little lamb? Why would she talk to her in this tone?
After Gu Qili finished speaking, she suddenly felt unwell and gently touched her forehead.
Mu Shuoqian quickly supported her, "What’s wrong?"
"I feel a bit dizzy." Gu Qili leaned into his embrace and closed her eyes.
Mu Shuoqian said to his subordinates outside the door: "Take her away."
After speaking, he picked up Gu Qili and headed downstairs, while ordering someone to call the doctor.
Back in the room, Gu Qili could still hear Gu Yunxi’s voice, although she couldn’t hear clearly what she was saying. However, it made sense that Gu Yunxi would be so narrow-minded and selfish; she was raised by Cheng Menghong, How good could a child raised by Cheng Menghong be?
Letting her suffer a bit is also a lesson for her.
Mu Shuoqian brought over a cup, "The doctor will arrive soon."
"It’s nothing serious, just need some rest. Dr. Chen is still outside." Leaning against the headboard, Gu Qili took the water cup he handed her, drank a few sips, and then said, "If I hadn’t come back today, what would you have planned to do next?"
Mu Shuoqian looked at her, his lips forming a tight line.
"Were you planning to take Gu Yunxi’s heart and liver for my transplant?" Gu Qili shook her head, pulling his hand to sit beside her, "Life and death are destined, and no one can change that. The cycles of life, aging, illness, and death are common in the world. I used to be scared, but I have come to terms with it now. To have met someone who loves me unreservedly during my life, no matter how long I live, that is enough."
As Gu Qili spoke, she gently caressed his gaunt face, which had grown thinner these past days, and his spirit not as lively as before, "Ah Qian, don’t be sad. We have shared the most beautiful times of our lives together. We should be content. No one can be together forever. Even if I hadn’t fallen ill, one of us would have to go first; it’s just that I will be leaving a bit sooner. But it’s okay, we still have the next life, and the life after next. As long as you don’t mind, we will be entwined for three lifetimes, so we still have plenty of time ahead, right?"
Mu Shuoqian stared at her quietly, a sorrowful gleam in his eyes. He suddenly embraced her tightly, his chin resting heavily on her shoulder. In a place she couldn’t see, a drop of water silently fell.
Feeling the man’s body trembling with sorrow, Gu Qili also silently shed tears down her cheeks. Although she was reluctant, having a husband like this, what more could she ask for?
"Qiqi, I won’t give up. I promised to cure you, even if I don’t use Gu Yunxi’s liver, I will definitely find a suitable donor. As long as I’m alive, you can’t die." Mu Shuoqian held her tightly, determined, "I will find one."
"I believe you, but you can’t do such crazy things anymore. Murder is punishable by law; this isn’t just about breaking the law."
Mu Shuoqian remained silent.
"Fool, if I survive and you’re gone, do you think I want to live a life full of guilt? It would be better to be dead," she said.
"Alright, I won’t do illegal things again, but you have to wait for me, wait for me to find a suitable liver."
"Okay, I will wait for you." Gu Qili smiled, kissing his chin, "Stop thinking about unhappy things. The New Year is coming soon, and it’s also Niannian’s birthday. How do you usually celebrate his birthday?"
"Children, what birthday to celebrate?" Mu Shuoqian scoffed.
"But this is the first birthday I’m celebrating for him, it must be grand." Gu Qili shook his arm, which might also be the last birthday she could spend with Niannian, "It’s not bad to be strict with children usually, but a slap should also be followed by a sweet date. If you are only harsh, he will feel insecure."
Mu Shuoqian took her hand, smiling and compromising, "Whatever you say goes, you’re the boss now."
"Then leave it to me to arrange."
"We’ll move to live at Springtop Hill for a while, I want to renovate this house." To stabilize Gu Yunxi, he let her stay here, but he couldn’t possibly let Jiushan’s house keep harboring another woman’s presence forever.
"By the way, what about Qiu Yufei?"
"She went back to M country. From now on, she won’t have the energy to cause trouble for us anymore."
"That’s good." Finally getting rid of these troublesome people, she felt an indescribable relief.
Time flew by, and in a blink, it was New Year’s Eve, with every household brightly decorated.
In past years, Mu Shuoqian would always take Mu Qinian back to the Mu Family’s old house, but this year with Qiu Lan here, they did not return.
Qiu Lan liked dumplings stuffed with three delicacies, so Gu Qili personally cooked to make dumplings for everyone, while Mu Shuoqian, worried about her laboring, rolled out dumpling wrappers beside her. Mu Qinian kept saying he wanted to help, but he was only busy pinching little figures from the dough. In the end, not a single dumpling was wrapped, but a row of little figures lay across the dough board.
Mu Shuoqian was never indulgent with children and was about to scold him, but Gu Qili gently tugged at his sleeve, "It’s New Year’s, don’t frown, smile."
Now he almost always obeyed her words, so Wen Fang reluctantly curved his lips into a smile.
Mu Qinian was actually eagerly anticipating his own birthday tomorrow. He had hinted at it many times through his words, but it seemed like the adults were oblivious, probably having forgotten his birthday.
Feeling unhappy, he turned his sadness into appetite, devouring a full big bowl of dumplings. **
