Only after her death did I realize that she was the white moonlight of a billionaire CEO.

Chapter 119 The Future Boss's Wife, Who Dares to Neglect Her?

"No wonder you've always been so afraid of women all these years." Especially tall, thin girls in white dresses.

It turns out that the murderer had left a deep shadow on Gu Huaizhou.

“This is a major discovery.” Zhou Chiye put the drawing away and said, “Next autumn, I will be leaving Dongzhou City to return to Kyoto.”

Zhou Chiye stared blankly at the handsome young man on the bed, who was several centimeters taller than him.

Back then, after Gu Huaizhou was found by that little girl from the Xie family, it was he who carried Gu Huaizhou down the mountain and took him to the hospital.

At that time, he was weak and thin, with a high fever, and everyone thought he wouldn't survive.

But he miraculously survived.

Zhou Chiye had been paying attention to Gu Huaizhou.

I heard that Gu Huaizhou suffers from mental illness; he's afraid of crowds, the dark, and anything red like meat...

Later, he was taken in by Master Li Dabao of Longyang Taoist Temple and stayed there for several months, after which his situation improved.

After that, Zhou Chiye didn't hear much about Gu Huaizhou.

We met again a year ago.

Last year, Zhou Chiye encountered a case of suicide involving a mentally ill patient. The deceased had left a cryptic suicide note, and the forensic doctor, after conducting the autopsy, also concluded that the death was indeed a suicide.

But Zhou Chiye's intuition told him that there were doubts about the cause of death. To find out, he went to Dongzhou Medical College to find a young professor named Gu Zhen through an introduction.

Then Zhou Chiye met the young Gu Huaizhou.

He was genuinely surprised at the time.

He never imagined that the boy who watched his parents being stripped of their flesh and blood by a terrifying killer 12 years ago, leaving only two skeletons, would eventually become a medical researcher.

"Boy."

Zhou Chiye couldn't help but pat Gu Huaizhou on the shoulder and said, "Only those who dare to face the abyss can walk out of it."

"I hope you can get out of this abyss soon."

After Zhou Chiye left, Gu Huaizhou picked up his brush again and skillfully drew a hand on the paper.

After finishing the drawing, he turned to the next page and meticulously and patiently drew a girl's face.

That was Li Xi's face.

Stroking the delicate features and naturally smiling face of the little girl on the drawing paper, Gu Huaizhou's dull, aching mind became calm and peaceful.

He doesn't need to escape the abyss.

Because someone had already pulled him out of the abyss.

*

The dinner party didn't end until 1 a.m.

Filming has already started, and most of the actors and staff have gone straight back to their hotels, as they have to film early tomorrow morning.

As the makeup artist for the film crew, Xue Niming had to be on set before 5 a.m. to do the actors' makeup, and she would naturally be going back to the hotel tonight.

“Xi Xi”.

Seeing Li Xi standing in the restaurant entrance in a daze with her car keys in her hand, she leaned over with her umbrella and subconsciously tilted the umbrella to shield Li Xi from the sleet on her left side.

Suddenly leaving the heated restaurant, Li Xi felt a bit cold as the cold wind blew through her.

Seeing that Li Xi shivered, Xue Ni quickly took off the crocheted scarf from her neck and wrapped it around Li Xi's neck.

Seeing that Li Xi was holding car keys, she said knowingly, "You want to visit Professor Gu, don't you?"

Li Xi had told Xue Ni about how Gu Huaizhou had lied to her.

Xue Ni took Li Xi's hand and said, "You're just disqualifying him from being your boyfriend, not cutting him off completely."

"Since you're still worried, why don't you go and see him? Just think of it as... visiting the landlord?"

What Li Xi wanted was a stepping stone.

Upon hearing Xue Ni's words, Li Xi nodded and said, "That makes sense. You can take Sister Zheng's car back, and I'll go to the hospital."

"it is good."

However, Xue Ni did not ride in Xie Zheng's car, but instead rode in the crew's van.

After all, Xie Zheng is a superstar, while she is just a makeup artist who has just entered the industry.

While hitching a ride with Xie Zheng might bring her some benefits, she was still a newcomer and didn't want to cause Xie Zheng any trouble.

Agent Lin Qiu rolled down the car window, just about to call Xue Ni to get in, when she saw Xue Ni get into the van. She turned to Xie Zheng and said, "Miss Li's friend is a sensible and well-behaved young lady."

"Yes."

“These days, it’s rare to see such well-behaved and sensible children.” Xie Zheng is already 33 years old, while Xue Ni and Li Xi are the same age and have just graduated from university.

Calling him a child isn't an exaggeration.

"Lin Qiu, observe Xue Ni's makeup skills closely. If they're good, invite her to join my team."

Lin Qiu asked her, "Do you want her to join our styling team?"

"Do not."

Xie Zheng shook her head and said, "I want to dismiss the current styling team and form a new, trustworthy team."

Lin Qiu was startled upon hearing this.

Can I trust him?

"Did Awei and the others do something wrong?" They've had a fairly pleasant working relationship over the years, so why the sudden decision to withdraw? What did Awei and the others do?

“They are the team that Xie Jiaoyue introduced to me.” Xie Zheng sank into the leather sofa chair and said, “After the opening ceremony today, Li Xi said something to me.”

Lin Qiu's ears twitched. "Huh?"

"She said that when Xie Jiaoyue was in high school, after she and her best friend had a falling out, in order to reconcile, she secretly hired thugs to follow her best friend and almost assault her."

Even if Xie Jiaoyue arrives by sheer coincidence.

"From then on, the two sisters reconciled, and the girl even regarded Xie Jiaoyue as her savior."

Lin Qiu took a deep breath, her pupils trembling with disbelief. "Is she really that shameless? She was only a teenager in high school, and she was already this bad?"

Xie Zheng sneered and remained silent.

Xie Jiaoyue was cunning even when she was a teenager; now her methods are probably even more ruthless.

"If Xie Jiaoyue had any shame towards me before, she would definitely hate me after Zhou Tiexiong came to our door and forcefully proposed marriage."

Lin Qiu subconsciously said, "It's not like you forced the Zhou family to propose marriage. There's no reason for her to hate you."

"We all know this was Old Master Gu's idea, but does Xie Jiaoyue have the ability to hate Old Master Gu?"

“She’s the kind of person who bullies the weak and fears the strong. She can’t vent her hatred, so when that happens, I, Zhou Yaoguang’s ex-fiancée, will become a thorn in her side.”

"By then, will all the friends she placed by my side still be safe?"

"We'll see." Xie Zheng frowned, somewhat disgusted. "Awei has a chaotic private life, he doesn't discriminate between men and women, we wouldn't even know if he caught a disease someday."

“I don’t feel comfortable keeping his team by my side.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Qiu agreed with Xie Zheng's arrangement, "You're right, we need to take precautions. Now is the best time to terminate your contract with Awei and his team, since you just terminated it."

In fact, Xie Zheng contracted AIDS in her previous life because she was infected by Awei.

In his previous life, after being diagnosed with AIDS, Ah Wei became addicted to gambling and alcoholism, squandering all his family's wealth.

Taking advantage of the situation, Xie Jiaoyue found Awei and threatened him to cooperate with her so that Xie Zheng could be infected with AIDS.

Ah Wei is Xie Zheng's personal makeup artist. She trusts those around her the most. Once, she saw Ah Wei cut his finger on broken glass and kindly helped him bandage it...

That's how I got infected with HIV.

Xie Jiaoyue later became known as a "sleeping star" and a "slut," all thanks to Awei.

Li Xi specifically reminded Xie Zheng of that sentence today, hoping that Xie Zheng could be more vigilant about the people around her and eliminate potential dangers in advance.

Upon arriving at St. Anne's Hospital, Li Xi unbuckled her seatbelt and heard her phone buzzing.

She unlocked her phone and saw a WeChat message from Xie Zheng: "I'm planning to terminate my contract with that styling team. How's that young makeup artist, Xue Ni?"

After reading it, Li Xi smiled with pleasure.

Sister Zheng is indeed clever; she actually understood the true meaning behind her words.

Li Xi: [It's all taken care of.]

With her phone in her pocket, Li Xi hummed a tune as she entered the elevator.

Gu Huaizhou lives on the top floor of the inpatient department of St. Anne's Hospital, where he has bodyguards on duty 24 hours a day.

The bodyguard was wearing a black windbreaker, under which knives and guns were concealed, but he looked very young and had a baby face.

Hearing the elevator doors open, Chu Xu turned around alertly, his hand already instinctively placed behind his waist.

Upon recognizing Li Xi as the person stepping out of the elevator, a warm smile appeared on her baby face. "Miss Li!"

After guessing that this was the person who left a hickey on Mr. Gu's neck, Chu Xu treated Li Xi very kindly.

joke.

That's the boss's wife who will be able to decide their treatment with just a few words in her ear in the future. Who would dare to neglect her?

"Miss Li, why are you here so late?"

Chu Xu accompanied Li Xi as they walked toward Gu Huaizhou's ward.

Li Xi held the car keys between her fingers and said, "Your husband is awake. How is he feeling?"

"Okay..." Very good!

But Chu Xu changed the subject, saying, "He seems a little weak."

Li Xi noticed the subtle change in Chu Xu's tone. She stopped, gave Chu Xu a meaningful look, and asked curiously, "Brother, what is your surname?"

Li Xi's calling him "brother" almost made Chu Xu cry.

"Miss Li, you can just call me Chu Xu."

Li Xi parted his thin lips slightly and called out, "Brother Xu."

Chu Xu's smile faltered.

He quickly understood why Li Xi was teasing him, and Chu Xu immediately confessed honestly: "The gentleman is in good spirits, but he doesn't want to eat and has been painting the whole time."

"We didn't dare to look at what it was about."

Upon hearing this, Li Xi said, "Mr. Chu is a meticulous person."

"..."

"Alright, that's enough for me. I'm going to see your husband." Li Xi entered Gu Huaizhou's ward alone.

Chu Xu let out a soft sigh and said, "No wonder Mr. Gu likes this girl; she's not easy to fool at all."

She looks so cute and cuddly, like she's easy to fool, but how come she's so smart?

Inside the ward, Gu Huaizhou heard the door open and assumed it was Chu Xu.

He didn't even look up and continued drawing.

He noticed the man cross the living room and enter the ward, but he didn't speak for a long time. His tone was gloomy: "Have you encountered a ghost? Are you too scared to speak?"

"..."

Chu Xu never dared not answer his own question.

Realizing something was amiss, Gu Huaizhou suddenly looked up and met Li Xi's teasing smile.

Li Xi snatched the sketchbook from Gu Huaizhou's hand.

What immediately catches the eye is her sleeping profile.

What's even more outrageous is that there's a potted orchid behind her, clearly indicating that Gu Huaizhou's painting depicts her sleeping in his master bedroom bed.

Because that orchid was placed on the bedside table in his master bedroom.

Li Xi took the sketchbook and sat down on the sofa. She continued to flip through the pages, and what she saw next was incredible – she saw countless versions of herself.

As Li Xi looked at the document, she scratched the hives on her neck.

After reading it, Li Xi's expression was inscrutable.

Gu Huaizhou, who was diagnosed with an emotional disorder by Ying Chengfeng, suddenly felt embarrassed, ashamed, and wanted to crawl into a hole.

His disorder should be cured.

I was scared by Li Xi.

"Gu Huaizhou, it turns out you're not just a liar, you're a pervert too."

Gu Huaizhou explained dryly, "I just missed you."

"Do you want me to lie in your bed and sleep?"

Gu Huaizhou was speechless.

"The stolen goods have been recovered." Li Xi rolled up the sketchbook and stuffed it into the pocket of his down jacket.

Gu Huaizhou breathed a sigh of relief.

He suddenly asked, "Is it very cold outside?"

"Sleet, minus three degrees Celsius, do you think it's cold?" It's more than just cold; the wind felt like it was wrapped in ice knives, and the car heater took a long time to work.

Gu Huaizhou was deeply moved to learn that Li Xi had actually traveled a long way to see him on such a cold night.

He pressed the emergency call button and said to the nurse at the triage desk, "Excuse me, could you please bring me a box of allergy medication?"

Li Xi glanced at him, then lowered her head and continued scratching her neck.

The nurse brought over allergy medication very quickly.

It was the same sign Gu Zhen had prepared for Li Xi on the day they first met; it worked very well.

Gu Huaizhou got out of bed, personally poured Li Xi a glass of warm water, and handed it to her to drink.

After taking the medicine, Li Xi held up the medicine box and said, "This medicine is very effective. I couldn't buy it at the pharmacy or find it online."

"This medicine is only available at St. Anne's Pharmacy; it cannot be purchased outside."

"No wonder."

"I'll have the nurse get you a few boxes; take them with you when you go home."

"Thank you."

Gu Huaizhou stared at Li Xi for a while, then suddenly squatted down in front of her.

The man wrapped Li Xi's hands in his large, warm hands and gently rubbed them, saying with some concern, "It's so cold, you didn't have to come."

Li Xi then said, "I came to visit the landlord, that's all, don't overthink it."

Gu Huaizhou gave a self-deprecating laugh.

He has no right to be a boyfriend; he ruined his own reputation.

Do you want to know what exactly happened 12 years ago?

Li Xi asked seriously, "If bringing up those past events will only torture your heart again and again, then I can choose not to listen."

Li Xi did want to find out the truth.

But she couldn't bear to see Gu Huaizhou get hurt.

After all, in that kidnapping case, Gu Huaizhou lost his parents, his loving older brother, and was forced to witness the entire brutal murder of his relatives...

Li Xi was terrified when she saw her father die in a car accident.

Gu Huaizhou's experience was even more tragic than hers.

Hearing Li Xi's words, Gu Huaizhou's cold and desolate heart warmed up.

I want to tell you.

Gu Huaizhou squatted down, looking Li Xi in the eye, and asked her, "Do you dare to listen?"

"...I'm willing to listen to your story."

There's no question of whether you dare or not.

But she was willing to listen.

Even if it was a bloody and terrifying story, she was willing to listen to Gu Huaizhou tell it.

Upon hearing this answer, Gu Huaizhou was lost in thought for a long moment.

"Li Xi, you really are like a little sun."

Li Xi.

The light of dawn.

It is not as warm as the blazing sun, nor as magnificent as the evening, but dawn is hope, it is the first light.

Gu Huaizhou felt honored to have received this ray of light's favor.
