Chapter 162: Not Dead Yet?
Later, when Di Mingjue and Gu Qibao got married, everyone was taken aback by the news. However, he thought the matter had come to an end.
After all, love and marriage are both matters between two people. Di Mingjue does not love Bo Chengxin, so no matter what Bo Chengxin did, it was futile.
But Bo Chengxin begged him to take Gu Qibao away on their wedding day, to be with her.
He was infuriated then, a rage he had never felt before. But in the end, he agreed.
He liked Bo Chengxin. Ever since they were kids, he knew her heart belonged to Di Mingjue. His only wish was for her happiness, for her to be content.
He never thought about possessing Bo Chengxin selfishly, even accepting her ’relationship’ with Di Mingjue, always staying close to her as a protector.
And he himself was her big brother.
However, the Bo Chengxin he knew now seemed to be a stranger, unlike the beautiful and innocent little girl of the past.
Returning to his office, Bo Chengyan was filled with indescribable sentiments. Was it unvaluable? Was it heartache? Regret? Or something else? He didn’t understand.
He had done everything he could for Bo Chengxin, and anything left to be done was beyond his capacity. Shouldn’t it be time to stop?
......
After having a meal at the company, Gu Qibao and Di Mingjue headed to the hospital, where Di Mingjue had insisted on indulging himself with her once again.
As they arrived downstairs, Gu Qibao suddenly asked Di Mingjue, "Should we bring a fruit basket?"
Di Mingjue frowned and rejected it subconsciously, "Why should we buy her a fruit basket?"
Gu Qibao thought for a moment and replied, "Considering you agreed to visit and since she’s ill, isn’t it appropriate to make a gesture, right?"
Although her words made sense, Di Mingjue didn’t want to buy a fruit basket, so he said, "Why bother? Why not just give her money?"
Why strain ourselves carrying a fruit basket? It’d easier and more heartless to give her money.
Gu Qibao scratched her head, finding herself unable to refute Di Mingjue’s argument!
Even though she didn’t want to buy Bo Chengxin a fruit basket either - Bo Chengxin’s moral manipulations made her uncomfortable - it didn’t feel right to visit empty-handed, which was why she suggested buying a fruit basket.
But Di Mingjue’s suggestion seemed reasonable, so let’s just give her money. It saves time and trouble.
As for whether this action was considerate or ruthless, they’d leave that for Bo Chengxin to ponder.
Not knowing which room Bo Chengxin was in, Di Mingjue called Bo Chengyan.
Surprisingly, Bo Chengyan personally came to the hospital entrance to fetch them. He didn’t say much.
Gu Qibao followed Di Mingjue, not feeling too uneasy. Truthfully, she didn’t like Bo Chengxin that much.
But once they reached the door of the ward, Gu Qibao hesitated and said to Di Mingjue, "Maybe I shouldn’t go in."
"What are you afraid of?" Di Mingjue pulled her into his arms and assured her strongly, "You’re Madame Di now. You don’t need to fear anyone."
His words were like an unexpected shot of adrenaline. Gu Qibao instantly straightened her back. Yes, what was there for her to be afraid of?
From the side, Bo Chengyan’s eyes darkened as he watched Gu Qibao, petite and delicate, being held by Di Mingjue. He opened his mouth as if wanting to say something, but said nothing in the end.
As they entered the room, Di Mingjue strutted in confidently, like his usual self.
Bo Chengxin, who was sitting on the bed, suddenly looked over at the doorway. Initially, there was joy in her eyes when she saw Di Mingjue but it quickly turned to disappointment and hate as soon as she saw Gu Qibao.
Her gaze met with Di Mingjue’s, and Di Mingjue responded with a cold smirk.
Being highly intelligent, he had always been good at reading people. He was aware of what Bo Chengxin was thinking.
Without waiting for anyone to speak, Di Mingjue said coldly, "Still not dead?"
