C108

The familiar voice struck Gu Lanqing like lightning.

"Let me go!" She screamed and pushed him away with all her might.

It was Huo Yan.

The person holding her was Huo Yan.

His embrace, his cold aura, was a stark reminder of what had happened last night.

He thought that she was going to elope with Zichen.

He had violently assaulted her outside of Ye Zichen's ward!

His body was trembling in his arms, and his pitch-black eyes were filled with terror. It was as if a sharp, invisible blade had cut into Huo Yan's heart.

Fearing that she would continue to struggle and injure him, he picked her up and, ignoring her sharp nails, cut his cheek and laid her on the bed.

Then, he took three steps back and raised his hands. "Don't be afraid, I'm not going to get close to you …"

Gu Lan curled up at the corner of the bed, tightly wrapping herself in the blanket. However, she was still unable to block the chill that rose from the depths of her heart.

"What else do you want to do? Isn't it enough to humiliate me? Are you willing to force me to my death? " The originally sweet voice was now extremely hoarse.

"I'm sorry." Guilt flashed across Huo Yan's eyes as he looked deeply at her.

Gu Lanqing sneered, apologizing again.

After always hurting her, I said I was sorry.

Just as he had said, these three words were too cheap.

"I'm sorry …" Looking at the sneer on her lips, Huo Yan felt as if a huge piece of cotton was stuck in his throat. He couldn't say anything other than "I'm sorry".

He raised his hands and placed them on the sides of his thighs, clenching them tightly.

Intense emotions flickered in his eyes, "Qingqing, I've already found out about it. Thirteen years ago, you weren't the one who answered my phone. It was Wang Ma's niece. It was Shen Bi Zhu who had that little girl impersonate you to chase me away. "Really, I'm sorry …"

Other than fear, there was nothing in Gu Lan Qing's eyes.

What's the use of finding this?

It couldn't be erased, the damage he had done to her.

"We could have been together. If it wasn't for that phone call, so many things wouldn't have happened between us. " Huo Yan's throat had also turned hoarse.

From Li Chunyan, she found out that on that night five years ago, after Qing Qing was taken away by someone else, Qing Qing had told him if it was possible. The woman in the surveillance video was not her.

The woman who took the initiative to seduce him the first time was not her.

After all, she had no memory of that night.

Although he refuted her guess, he did put it to heart.

As she had said, he had been drunk that night after all, and he would have been wrong if other women had deliberately disguised themselves to look like her.

This thought made him feel extremely disgusted. He recalled the events from that night and still decided that she was the only woman he had.

But what about the phone call from thirteen years ago?

With a doubt in his heart, he sent Lu Lingfeng to investigate.

The results this morning almost made him cry.

He and Qing Qing could have been together a long time ago.

Even some of the damage he would take would have been gone.

"I will definitely not let Shen Bi Zhu off …" His originally hoarse voice trembled as he repeated this line of words.

"Let me go." Gu Lanqing, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up.

Sharp hatred flickered within his pitch-black eyes as he looked straight at him. "Since you know you've let me down, then let me go. Huo Yan, it's not suitable for us to be together. You're too sensitive and too conceited. Even if you find out that I didn't make that call thirteen years ago, so what? "

His pale lips curved mockingly, "But five years ago, on the night that Zi Chen became a vegetable, I was the one who slept with you. As long as this thing exists, it's still like a thorn piercing your heart. I have to remind you all the time that I'm sleeping with you because your surname is Huo. Zichen woke up. It was impossible for him and I not to meet. The moment he saw it once, the thorn would pierce deeper into his body. "Once again, you will have to use violence against me …"

"No way!" Huo Yan interrupted his fiercely. His eyes, which were originally as deep as the ocean, were bloodshot from not sleeping for the entire night.

"Qingqing, I promise you, I will never hurt you again! What happened to us in the past has never happened, okay? We could have been together... "

He also knew that it could have been.

Gu Lan Qing sneered and quickly pulled away the quilt covering her body and untied her pajamas.

Under the sunlight, there was barely any spot that was intact on her snow-white silk-like skin.

The fine wrist bones were deeply grasped in an attempt to reject the man's hand, leaving behind a pinky mark.

Those marks were like a brand that imprinted itself onto Huo Yan's heart.

His tall body couldn't help but tremble.

He looked at Gu Lan Qing's bloodless lips and slowly opened them. "How do you expect me to act as if this never happened?" "Huo Yan, I'm not that low to live with a man who has bullied me time and time again!"

"So, do you really have to leave me?" His eyes turned even redder, and his voice carried a sense of hope that was close to despair.

"Let me go." Gu Lanqing replied decisively.

Huo Yan fixed his gaze on Gu Lanqing. The guilt and remorse in his eyes that seemed to want to beat him down had disappeared. His selfishness had been carved into his bones.

This was a woman that he had been thinking about for thirteen years, a woman that should have belonged to him in the first place.

"You know, it's impossible." He opened his mouth, and his long eyelashes trembled as he looked at Gu Lan Qing. "Have you forgotten?" "Zichen is still in my hands …"

With that, Gu Lanqing, who had been sitting on the edge of the bed, suddenly stood up and slapped him in the face.

"You bastard! How can you be so despicable! " Tears, in the end, were pouring out.

Huo Yan didn't make any move to receive Gu Lanqing's slap. "He's someone you care about." I won't hurt him. I've already brought his medical team over. "

His eyes were still looking at her, "Your physical examination results have also come out, so you can do a test tube baby. As long as you are willing to give birth to a child for me, and if you want to see Zichen, I won't stop you. "

His tone paused for a moment, and then he said in a voice so soft that it was almost petty, "If you want to see him now, that is fine too."

"Get out! I would rather die than give birth to a child for you! " Had Grandpa Huo expected this?

Even if he did not have Han Mountain Ao Xue in his hands, even if he did not have Zi Chen in his hands, she was still forced to bear Huo Yan's child.

"Qingqing, you have no choice. Because, you can't bear to part with Huo Zichao. " Huo Yan forced a smile and said in a low voice, "You should take good care of yourself here."

Gu Lanqing watched Huo Yan leave the bedroom.

Her body, which had been tense, seemed to have lost all of its strength as she fell powerlessly onto the bed.

Just as Huo Yan had said, she didn't have a choice.

It wasn't that he couldn't bear to part with Huo Zichen.

Instead, it was her that owed Huo Zichen a life.

She covered her face, tears streaming down her cheeks.

Remembering five years ago, falling down the stairs, the baby's life, the pain of disappearing inch by inch.

No!

She did not want to suffer the same pain again!

She absolutely didn't want to give birth to Huo Yan's child!

Gu Lan lowered her hand and gripped the bed sheets tightly.

She had to get Han Mountain Ou Xue from Chen Changsheng's hands.
