Chapter 499 He Yi, you've lost!
"Ah Yi, are you sure you don't want to tell them the truth? Actually, it's not too late for you to tell them now. Even if Gu Zhiyao isn't moved, at least it will make Yifei think twice. You know, maybe he's been through a lot, and he's really planning to be with Gu Zhiyao now!" Li Xin couldn't help but say it.
He Yi's eyes flickered for a moment, but he didn't respond. He slowly walked to the window.
He was able to get out of bed yesterday, so he thought he would come to the window to breathe some fresh air. But he happened to see Gu Zhiyao pushing Yifei in a wheelchair downstairs for a walk.
He stood there for almost half an hour, watching Gu Zhiyao push Yifei around once, and then stop in the flowerbed. Gu Zhiyao took a towel to carefully wipe Yifei's sweat, gave him water, and talked to him. Her expression was serene, with a faint smile.
Occasionally, Gu Zhiyao would gently stroke her abdomen, and Yifei would look at that spot as well. The two of them would laugh without saying a word.
He only felt a stinging pain in his eyes.
"Could you make some arrangements for me to return to China next Monday?" He Yi turned around and said to Li Xin a moment later.
Li Xin was taken aback. "You mean you're going back? Going back by yourself?"
"Yes. I asked the doctor last night, and he said I'm recovering well and should be able to be discharged the day after tomorrow."
Li Xin had been taking care of him all along, so he was naturally aware of the illness. He was worried that if He Yi returned to China like this, wouldn't that be tantamount to completely giving the opportunity to Yi Fei?
However, seeing He Yi's determined look, Li Xin had no choice but to obey.
Later, when he left He Yi's ward, he couldn't help but go to Yi Fei's ward.
Just then, Gu Zhiyao arrived at Yifei's side. The two chatted about something, and Yifei was in a good mood, looking at Gu Zhiyao with undisguised affection.
Li Xin immediately sighed.
She thought to herself, "Luckily He Yi didn't see it, otherwise, would my body have been able to recover properly?"
At this moment, Yifei also saw Li Xin and quickly greeted him politely, "Brother Li, you've arrived?"
In the past few days, besides taking care of He Yi, Li Xin would also occasionally come to see Yi Fei, and the three of them maintained a very good relationship.
Li Xin snapped out of his daze, approached Yi Fei, and, as usual, inquired about Yi Fei's situation.
"I'm much better now. I think I can be discharged soon." Yi Fei said happily, glancing at Gu Zhiyao with his eyes, clearly indicating that it was all thanks to Gu Zhiyao.
Because Li Xin was there, Gu Zhiyao became more reserved, and she took the opportunity to leave first.
Li Xin and Yi Fei were left alone in the ward. Yi Fei looked at Li Xin thoughtfully and asked, "Brother Li, how's things at the factory? When will my uncle be able to settle things?"
Li Xin didn't answer Yi Fei, but instead asked, "Yi Fei, I just saw you and Gu Zhiyao... Actually, when you were being beaten and abused by Wen Ya and her gang, Wen Ya filmed it, and I saw it all. I also heard you confessing your love to Gu Zhiyao. Are you two really going to get married?"
Yifei's smile froze instantly.
“These past few days I’ve seen you two getting along really well, and Gu Zhiyao’s attitude towards you is noticeably different. I’m not sure if she’s doing this to help you recover as quickly as possible, or if she’s really planning to give it a try with you. But have you considered your uncle? Are you really planning to marry her?” Li Xin continued to press.
"Brother Li, have you told your uncle about these things?" Yifei asked.
Li Xin hesitated for a moment, then shook his head. "I haven't said yet."
Yifei was silent for a moment, then, as if recalling something, he said softly, "Actually, I never thought I would confess to her, let alone that she would say she would marry me. The way I said it back then was because I felt I might not survive, and I hoped to tell her I loved her in my last moments. She probably said she would marry me because she saw my critical condition and wanted to give me hope so I could hold on. Now, I'm fine, and she's trying her best to keep her promise."
"So, you really intend to let this situation continue? Have you considered your uncle's pain? You know he still loves Gu Zhiyao and has always wanted to get back together with her. They already have two children, and he's pregnant with another one. Putting aside your uncle's side, there's also the societal aspect. Are you sure you can accept everyone's strange looks and even criticism? Even if you don't care, what about Gu Zhiyao? Most importantly, does she really feel that way?"
“I don’t know. Maybe the situation is as you said, but I still don’t want to expose it. Instead, I let myself indulge in her gentleness and her care. Brother Li, do you know that every night before I go to sleep, I think about seeing her when I wake up? And when I wake up the next day, I still think about seeing her soon. I often ask myself if I really want to continue like this, and the voice deep inside me answers me yes.”
"Brother Li, I'm not going to back down anymore!"
“You’re right. My uncle is also hoping to get back together with Gu Zhiyao, but so much time has passed and Gu Zhiyao is still unwilling. Doesn’t that mean my uncle shouldn’t force it anymore? Moreover, when Gu Zhiyao was in such danger and needed someone to be with her the most, my uncle didn’t appear. It’s not just this time; many times before, when Gu Zhiyao was in danger, it wasn’t my uncle who was by her side.”
Work is important, but I feel that if you truly love someone, you should put her in the most important position even if it means spending a fortune. My uncle might not truly love Gu Zhiyao that much; maybe he just habitually thinks she should be with him. So, I don't want to back down anymore. I want to fight for myself this time. Brother Li, do you understand what I mean?
Tan Yifei, you idiot!
What are you talking about!
What do you know!
Upon hearing these words, Li Xin's anger flared up. He glared at Yi Fei, almost ready to reveal the truth! He wanted to tell him that He Yi certainly didn't disregard Gu Zhiyao; for Gu Zhiyao, He Yi had even given up a kidney. If it required sacrificing his life, He Yi would probably do so without hesitation!
“Brother Li, I know you and Uncle have a good relationship, and I don’t blame you for taking his side and speaking up for him. But I’ve also told you what I mean. Even if you want to tell Uncle, that’s fine. I’ve waited so many years, and happiness has finally come. Brother Li, I want to take a gamble. Maybe Gu Zhiyao really did marry me just to fulfill a promise or to repay a debt of gratitude, as you said. But I will love her well. I believe I can win her heart and make her truly accept me so we can live a happy and wonderful life.”
Looking at Yi Fei's determined face, his eyes full of longing, anticipation and joy for the future, Li Xin felt as if he had been stabbed in the heart.
If he felt this way, imagine how much more heartbroken He Yi would have felt, as if he were being slowly sliced to death!
He Yi, as expected, you lost!
You've ruined your own happiness!
