Chapter 538 - 543: Aren’t You Going Down to Have a Look?
Xiangsi originally wanted to just nestle in Xing Chen’s arms and enjoy the tranquility of the moment, even if she didn’t sleep, just quietly embracing him like this.
But some people, who lack perception, just had to come and disturb them.
Ping’an had already reported twice, saying that Gu Beichuan wanted to see the Young Madam...
No choice, Xiangsi had to get up.
As soon as the two got up, Xing Chen went downstairs to handle the follow-up matters of the wedding, while Xiangsi directly received Gu Beichuan on the rooftop terrace.
At three in the afternoon, the sunshine was just right, not too harsh, very warm.
The seaside wasn’t hot either, it was cool and comfortable.
In such weather, going out to sea, on the yacht’s terrace, precious flowers and plants were planted around the wicker chairs.
A pot of fragrant tea, smoke curling up, it was the perfect time for a chat.
Gu Beichuan took a sip of tea, but couldn’t tell if it was good or not, after all, he had been soaking in bars all these years.
He put down the teacup and habitually placed his hand on his left leg’s knee.
That leg was broken by Xing Chen...
Although the shattered bone was reconnected, it left a lifelong disability.
Whenever it was cold or rainy, it hurt terribly.
Especially by the seaside, the humidity in the air was too high, and it was a bit chilly, blowing on the knee, it felt like piercing pain.
Xiangsi noticed Gu Beichuan’s action, probably realizing something, and asked, "Your leg..."
Gu Beichuan replied indifferently, "Broken by your husband. Left a chronic condition, reacts to cold and humid air."
With a casual remark, it seemed he didn’t care much.
This made Xiangsi a bit puzzled, "You don’t hate us? You even came out to testify for me this time."
Honestly, in the previous situation where Xiangsi was framed, if Gu Beichuan had hidden away in some far corner of the world and never appeared, there would have been no way to prove her innocence.
If Ding Jia had insisted that Ran Xiangsi was the murderer, then Ran Xiangsi would have had a hard time clearing her name.
But with Gu Beichuan’s appearance, all accusations dissipated.
"Hate? You could have taken my life, now you just took one of my legs. Xing Chen also promised me that he could bring the Gu family back. As for you and me, I still have to thank you for helping me find another reason to live." Gu Beichuan seemed much more carefree, no longer filled with resentment, more like an old man who had seen through the mundane world.
This was much better than the dandy from two months ago.
Xiangsi chuckled lightly at his words, "I didn’t help you with anything, life is your own, how you want to live it, no one can change."
"That’s right, the key is how I want to live." Gu Beichuan nodded, now sitting here, feeling more relaxed than ever before.
The burden that had weighed on his heart for many years had finally dissipated.
The feeling of rebirth was really great.
Saying this, Gu Beichuan picked up the teacup again and took a sip, his gaze naturally falling on the deck.
The guests who came to the wedding banquet had been dispersed to the outdoor swimming pool and multimedia entertainment area, the deck was empty, with only a few bodyguards in black suits standing guard.
In the center of the bodyguards, Xing Chen stood with his hands behind his back, his calm gaze falling on the sea horizon.
Beside him stood Lou Xinyu, who had already changed out of her wedding dress.
Gu Beichuan raised an eyebrow and nudged his chin in Xing Chen’s direction, reminding Xiangsi, "Aren’t you going to go down and take a look?"
Xiangsi turned around, following the direction indicated by Gu Beichuan.
Immediately, she saw the backs of Xing Chen and Lou Xinyu.
