Chapter 1027: Chapter 24:

"No!"

Le Zhengsheng was really anxious, holding Gu Xiaoning, grasping her hand, "Ningning, I’m really loyal, I absolutely haven’t done anything to let you and the child down!"

Gu Xiaoning held back her laughter, "Really?"

"Yes!" Le Zhengsheng nodded seriously, raising three fingers, "I swear! I swear on my integrity, on Jiujiu, on my unborn child!"

"Alright."

Gu Xiaoning covered his mouth, "Enough, I believe you."

"..."

Le Zhengsheng sighed in relief, looking at Gu Xiaoning smiling, grinning foolishly.

"Hehe, Ningning."

Gu Xiaoning pouted, "Silly."

Le Zhengsheng started feeling worse, he was already holding on, and after joking around with Gu Xiaoning, the feeling of weakness returned.

"What’s wrong?" Gu Xiaoning noticed, hurriedly supporting him.

Le Zhengsheng shook his head, "It seems, the moss is poisonous... otherwise I wouldn’t be like this."

"Ah." Gu Xiaoning exclaimed in surprise, she didn’t expect she had guessed correctly.

Le Zhengsheng leaned on Gu Xiaoning’s shoulder, "I didn’t expect to pick up my life two years ago, and now knowing the truth, yet ending up being trapped here by a deranged lunatic..."

Gu Xiaoning stayed silent, just holding his hand.

"Ningning." Le Zhengsheng softly called her name.

"Hmm."

Le Zhengsheng sighed, "It doesn’t matter if I die, having you and the child with me... but poor Jiujiu... she has been longing for her mom to come home since she was little. It’s all my fault, I failed Jiujiu, even though I gave her so much, I couldn’t give her a mom..."

"Woo—"

Gu Xiaoning choked up, "Ah Sheng, don’t say that."

"...Ningning."

Le Zhengsheng’s voice grew smaller, gradually losing consciousness.

"Ah Sheng!" Gu Xiaoning cried anxiously, holding Le Zhengsheng, gently stroking his face.

What to do? What to do?

Are they really going to die here?

Then, what about Jiujiu? Poor Jiujiu, she’s still so young...

Staring at Le Zhengsheng in her arms, Gu Xiaoning suddenly thought of something.

She slowly raised her hand, the idea in her mind, even she found it unbelievable...

That lunatic in the wheelchair wasn’t entirely wrong, her body indeed was different from normal!

Because of this, she caught Dr. Cui’s attention two years ago!

So, perhaps, now, her different body can help Ah Sheng?

Here, no doctor, no research institute, no laboratory, only... Gu Xiaoning!

With determination, Gu Xiaoning placed her hand in her mouth. Biting hard...

"Ah—"

Frowning, the force of the bite was so painful she couldn’t bear it, so much pain! As they say, fingertips are connected to the heart...

Blood flowed from her fingertips.

Gu Xiaoning held Le Zhengsheng, moving closer to his mouth, slowly prying it open, "Ah Sheng, come..."

She let the blood drip into Le Zhengsheng’s mouth, bit by bit.

Actually, she didn’t know if this would work.

But, it was the only way she could think of at the moment.

In a daze, Le Zhengsheng opened his eyes. Tasting the rich coppery taste, he furrowed his brow, "...Ningning, what... are you doing?"

"Ah!" Gu Xiaoning exclaimed joyfully, "Ah Sheng, does it really work?"

"..." Le Zhengsheng was confused.

Tears filled Gu Xiaoning’s eyes, "Ah Sheng, my blood... you don’t have to die, I won’t let you die!"

Le Zhengsheng seemed to understand what was going on.

He closed his eyes, tears seeping from the corners... Though he tried hard to restrain himself, he could not contain his gratitude for Gu Xiaoning saving him twice!

He raised his hand, holding the back of her head, pressing down.

Lips gently met.

Their tears mixed together, but Gu Xiaoning smiled, "Ah Sheng..."

"Wife." Le Zhengsheng murmured, "I love you."

He managed to say it first.

Gu Xiaoning laughed through her tears, "Yes, I know. Woo woo... I know."

Le Zhengsheng softly caressed her face, "Ningning, we’re not dying... not dying. Even Heaven doesn’t want us dead; why should we die?"

"Yes!" Gu Xiaoning nodded heavily.

"Do you trust me?"

"Yes." Gu Xiaoning still nodded.

Le Zhengsheng laughed, "I asked a silly question, Ningning, listen to me—"

Gu Xiaoning leaned closer, carefully listening to him.

...

Footsteps could be heard outside, Le Zhengsheng gave Gu Xiaoning a sign with his eyes.

Gu Xiaoning nodded firmly, "I understand, don’t worry."

Squeak, the door opened.

The butler walked in, looked at Gu Xiaoning on the floor, Le Zhengsheng lying unconscious in her arms.

"Heh." The butler laughed, "Thought about it, just die like this?"

Gu Xiaoning glared at him, "If I agree with you, will you let him go?"

"Oh." The butler laughed more, "Thought it over?"

"Yes." Gu Xiaoning nodded, "I just have this one condition, you must not hurt him!"

"Heh, should have agreed earlier!"

"Take her away!"

—

Gu Xiaoning didn’t know where she was taken, but she was sure it wasn’t the original house.

Someone came in, giving her a set of clean clothes... this time, normal attire.

"Take a shower, put it on."

Gu Xiaoning frowned, "What are you up to now?"

Are they going to repeat what happened last time because it was unfinished? That wheelchair man is truly sick.

She waved her hand, "I’m not changing! You just want to study me, take me away now!"

What a joke? Sending her to die, yet asking her to dress up? What kind of event justifies such attention to appearance?

"Get in!" The maid who entered was very strong, grabbing Gu Xiaoning’s arm, throwing her into the bathroom, "If you don’t wash yourself, I’ll come in and wash you!"

"..." Gu Xiaoning was stunned, fine, she’d rather wash herself. This maid was as fierce as a man.

Gu Xiaoning gritted her teeth, took a shower, and changed clothes.

"Out!"

The maid pushed her, Gu Xiaoning stepped out. The guard standing at the door immediately grabbed her arm, "Walk."

Gu Xiaoning frowned, where are they taking her now? Ever since leaving Holy City, nothing normal has happened.

The further she walked, the livelier it got. Gu Xiaoning could hear the boiling clamour outside...

The door opened, the wheelchair man was already waiting.

He clasped his hands together, appearing devout.

"I am a believer, although I conduct research, it’s ultimately sinister... Before starting, I pray to the heavens; last time’s ritual was ruined by you!"

Gu Xiaoning shivered, unable to believe how sick this person was!

Great!

This gives Ah Sheng time!

She was somewhat excited, tightly clenching her palm... She wanted to see what outcome awaited them!
