Chapter 256: Such a Proud Person
Gu Siyu woke up two hours later, her shoulder bandaged, lying in bed in a pink pajama.
Her head was swimming, and Gu Siyu rubbed her eyes, feeling incredibly tired.
“Miss Gu, you’re awake?”
“Quick, go call the Young Master.”
The servant had been guarding Gu Siyu non-stop. Seeing her awake, they immediately went to call Bei Ming Hao Chen. Heaven knows how Bei Ming Hao Chen, that devil, tormented the servants when Gu Siyu was unconscious. He took out all his anger on them; he was truly a devil.
Before Gu Siyu could react, she was grabbed by a pair of strong hands. Bei Ming Hao Chen’s delighted voice reached her ears, “Yu Yu, how are you feeling? Is anything still uncomfortable?”
“Yes.”
Gu Siyu blurted out.
“What is it? Where does it hurt? Hurry and call the doctor.”
Bei Ming Hao Chen panicked and, without looking back, ordered the servant behind him.
The servant ran out, scrambling, afraid that if they were a moment late, Bei Ming Hao Chen would scold them.
“Mmm, I’m just very dizzy. It’s nothing.”
Gu Siyu didn’t expect such a strong reaction from him and couldn’t help but find it amusing.
Seeing the little girl still able to laugh, Bei Ming Hao Chen breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, he was filled with anger.
“Who gave you the courage to get injured?”
Bei Ming Hao Chen was angry, truly angry. Didn’t this girl know that life was precious? To get injured so easily.
“You.”
Gu Siyu blurted out without a hint of hesitation.
Bei Ming Hao Chen: …!!!!
“You gave me the courage. Because I was afraid of you getting hurt, I’d rather hurt myself.”
Gu Siyu’s voice was soft and timid, with a hint of fear, making her sound exceptionally pitiable.
In an instant, Bei Ming Hao Chen’s heart softened, and it also ached, a piercing pain as if thousands of ants were gnawing at him.
He, how fortunate was he? To receive such wholehearted love from Gu Siyu?
She, a dignified Princess of Spain, doted on since childhood, yet following him, she had been injured several times and flirted with death.
How much courage would that take?
At that moment, Bei Ming Hao Chen truly felt lucky, lucky that such a good girl was his alone.
“I’m sorry.”
Bei Ming Hao Chen pulled Gu Siyu into his embrace, holding her tightly, his chin resting on her head, rubbing her gentle, soft hair. The refreshing fragrance was incredibly comforting.
I’m sorry, I’m sorry, it’s all my fault for not protecting you and letting you get hurt again and again.
I’m sorry, I’m sorry, it’s all my fault!
That proud person, after eighteen or nineteen years of life, said “I’m sorry” for the first time. For so many years, Bei Ming Hao Chen believed he hadn’t even apologized to his parents for minor things, yet the words “I’m sorry” were genuinely what he wanted to tell Gu Siyu.
No one would have imagined that the feared Young Master Bei Ming would one day be so submissive to a girl, even willing to set aside his pride and dignity.
“You haven’t wronged me; I’ve wronged you.”
“The danger you were in today was caused by me.”
“If I hadn’t insisted on keeping Ou Yixuan, none of this would have happened today.”
Gu Siyu shook her head, a hint of sadness flashing in her eyes. Yes, Bei Ming Hao Chen had never wronged her; it was she who had wronged Bei Ming Hao Chen.
Fortunately, it was she who was injured today, not Bei Ming Hao Chen. Otherwise, how guilty would she feel? Because of her unreasonable actions, she had put him in danger. She could never forgive herself for that.
“No, it has nothing to do with you.”
Bei Ming Hao Chen shook his head. He didn’t blame Gu Siyu, truly not.
“Yes, it’s all my fault. If I hadn’t been unreasonable, how would Ou Yang have had an opportunity?”
Gu Siyu shook her head, filled with regret. She had actually noticed the clues long ago, but she hadn’t thought of it thoroughly until the end, when she finally saw the problem clearly.
Ou Yixuan was placed by Ou Yang in the Bei Ming Family as a “mole.” Bei Ming Hao Chen had learned all of this while Gu Siyu was unconscious. Through questioning Ou Yixuan, he had clearly understood the whole story.
Ou Yixuan was just a child and didn’t understand anything, but he liked Gu Siyu. That liking, from the bottom of his heart, became a tool for Ou Yang to exploit him.
Ou Yang used the excuse that if Ou Yixuan helped him put the voice recorder in Bei Ming Hao Chen’s car, he could spend several days with Gu Siyu.
The naive Ou Yixuan truly believed him and did as he was told.
But Ou Yang, how could you be so heartless? This is your own nephew. Aren’t you worried that Bei Ming Hao Chen, in his anger, would just finish him off?
That was a life!
“Thank you, thank you for loving me so wholeheartedly.”
“Yu Yu, but it pains me. Can you please not rush forward every time you encounter danger?”
“I am a man. My responsibility is to protect you, not for you to shield me from all danger. Yu Yu, I will blame myself, feel guilty, and feel like I’ve wronged you.”
At this moment, Bei Ming Hao Chen was like a child, tears streaming uncontrollably, his eyes instantly turning red.
This was probably the first time Bei Ming Hao Chen had cried since he could remember.
Gu Siyu’s heart ached slightly. She hadn’t thought that far; she only knew she couldn’t let Bei Ming Hao Chen get hurt.
The two embraced for a long time without speaking. After a while, Gu Siyu pushed Bei Ming Hao Chen away, frowning slightly and muttering, “It hurts.”
He was hugging her, pressing on the wound on her shoulder. It hurt a lot.
Bei Ming Hao Chen only then realized and quickly let go of her, not daring to touch her at all, afraid of causing her more pain. Seeing Bei Ming Hao Chen’s cautious demeanor, Gu Siyu couldn’t help but smile. Her pale face had no color, but she still looked beautiful when she smiled.
Yes, in his heart, this girl was always the most beautiful.
The doctor arrived late, seemingly breaking the slightly ambiguous atmosphere between the two.
“Ahem, Young Master Bei Ming, I’ll examine Miss Gu’s injuries.”
The doctor coughed softly, interrupting their gaze.
Bei Ming Hao Chen glared at the doctor and moved aside, but he still held Gu Siyu’s hand.
“Don’t be afraid.”
Bei Ming Hao Chen comforted Gu Siyu.
Gu Siyu found it amusing. Did he really think she was a child? Although it hurt terribly, she was capable of enduring it.
However, she couldn’t deny… this feeling of being cared for was truly wonderful.
The doctor conducted a thorough examination of Gu Siyu. The issue Bei Ming Hao Chen was most concerned about was what the doctor had mentioned earlier: if Gu Siyu didn’t recover well, her left arm might be disabled. The thought of it was terrifying.
