After a long time, the old doctor withdrew his hand, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Wang Shaofu held Xie Anning tightly, his face expressionless: "If there is anything wrong with my health, please tell me directly."

"This..." The old doctor no longer hesitated and said bluntly, "Your pulse is weak and thready, indicating a deficiency of both Qi and blood. It is a sign of overwork, which has damaged the heart and spleen. You should take care of yourself and get enough rest. Don't be anxious or angry, otherwise it will damage your heart and shorten your lifespan."

Overwork...

He rushed back to the capital from Liangzhou for four consecutive sleepless nights, and as soon as he got back, he was faced with the situation of being separated from his wife and daughter.

And there is already someone else beside his wife.

Not only did he no longer show the same tenderness and concern as before, he also said all kinds of cruel words to me.

He was so angry that he vomited blood and fainted at Wang's house. When he opened his eyes, he went to the Dali Temple.

Holding her in my arms, I slept lightly all night, feeling anxious and worried.

After waking up, I went to the palace.

His intention was to ask the emperor to give him a complete family.

After being rejected, I came back here.

Witnessing his beloved woman being affectionate and in love with other men.

Exhausted and exhausted is not enough to describe what he has been going through these days.

From the moment Wang Shaofu received the letter from the capital in Liangzhou, he felt like he was entering a nightmare.

In his dream, he was dragged into the Nine Layers of Hell, and everything he experienced made him feel extremely painful.

Wang Shaofu told himself that he deserved all this, and this was the punishment for being the first to betray.

On the other hand, he hoped that she would soften her heart and turn back, and not be so heartless to him.

They were childhood playmates who grew up together, a loving and sweet young couple, and an intimate couple who had been together for half their lives without any doubt about each other.

He didn't believe that she could break up with such affection.

But the fact is, she really didn't care about his face at all, and his pain was nothing in her eyes.

She fell in love with Ishihara Qing!

Now, when he was seriously injured and the doctor diagnosed that his life span was shortened, would she be willing to turn back...

While feeling really helpless, he couldn't help but feel hopeful. He turned his head to look at the woman next to him, and saw that her brows were calm and she was also looking at him.

When their eyes met, the person in front of them had a pale face, looking both pitiful and hateful.

Xie An Ning clenched his hands into fists, pursing his lips. "This doctor is actually yours, right? Ziqin is right. You deliberately played a trick on me, hoping to make me feel pity for you, right?"

……Yes or no?

Wang Shaofu looked dazed and dejected.

She asked him if he...

She doesn't believe him.

Don't believe him at all.

She had just been injured in the competition in the courtyard, and after she came to her senses, she no longer believed him.

Now she also didn't believe what the old doctor said, "Overwork will damage the heart and spleen and may affect your lifespan."

Since when did he become such a liar in her heart, a villain who could ask a doctor to deceive her?

These questions, word by word, were like sharp blades, piercing Wang Shaofu's heart.

A sweet and fishy taste surged in his throat, and he tried to swallow it down, but his boiling emotions gave his pale face a strange blush.

Immediately, with a "puff" sound, blood spurted out.

Amidst the crowd's exclamations, he yanked her wrist hard, dragged her onto the couch, and strangled her. Staring into her panicked eyes, he softly asked, "Do you really hate me this much? Do you wish I were dead?"

"I didn't!" Xie Anning retorted hastily.

The man in front of him had blood between his teeth and his lips were also dyed bright red, which made his gentle face like jade reveal a bit of evil. But his eyes were still very stubborn, like a wolf that was desperate and ready to eat someone. He didn't look like a well-behaved and polite young man from a noble family at all.

Her pupils constricted, and she touched his lips with trembling hands. "I admit that I do hate you, but I never wanted you to die. Please don't do this."

The trembling fingertips at the corners of his lips softened Wang Shaofu's eyes.

He held her wrist, brought it to his lips and kissed it gently, his tone almost pious, but weak and hard to hear, "An Ning... I have nowhere else to go, only you... If you don't want me, you want me to die."

"...What?" Xie Anning didn't hear clearly, "What do you mean by that?"

She ignored the blood-stained back of her hand and moved closer, only to find that her shoulder just happened to catch a drooping head.

"...Wang Shaofu?" Xie Anning's pupils widened, and his whole body and even his voice were a little stiff. "Wang Shaofu, what's wrong with you?"

no respond.

Wang Wu and Wang Yong, who had never dared to interfere in their master's family affairs, hurried forward, and the old doctor who had already written a prescription also came up to take the patient's pulse.

He came to the conclusion that he was exhausted and fell asleep.

It wasn't a sudden death.

Not dead...

Realizing this, Xie Anning regained feeling in his paralyzed limbs almost instantly.

She blinked slowly, as if she was relieved, or more like she had survived a disaster.

too frightening.

She had imagined countless possible outcomes after their separation, whether they would each be well on their own, or become enemies who would never talk to each other again, and even if they would be entangled for the rest of their lives, she had thought about it.

But there has never been a possibility that Wang Shaofu would die.

...How could he die?

How could the man who had appeared in her life since she was a child, tall and majestic like a mountain, patiently helping her solve any problems without haste or delay, die?

Wang Wu helped his master lie down, stepped forward, and said with a bow, "Please forgive me, Madam, I have something to say, but I cannot help but say it."

He told her everything that happened at the Wang family last night, and then said, "The master not only disobeyed the master and the old lady over the divorce agreement, but also said that since the Wang family can't tolerate you, then they can't tolerate him either..."

He paused and said sadly, "He vomited blood and fainted briefly. After waking up, he didn't care about his own health and went to see a doctor. He just ordered a car to come to you."

Thinking of his master's many hardships, Wang Wu couldn't help but defend him. "When my master learned of the incident in the capital, he braved the freezing cold and the dangerous journey, traveling day and night without sleep to return to the capital. Heaven can witness his love for you. You two have been married for many years, and your love is deep and inseparable. Please don't let your anger hurt our feelings."

After saying this, Wang Wu bowed deeply.

Over there, Wang Yong, who had led the doctor to prescribe a prescription, walked to the doorway, his eyes also red. He bowed and said in a deep voice, "We were husband and wife. For your sake, the master not only disobeyed the master and the old lady, but also went to the Golden Palace to plead with His Majesty, expressing his determination to abandon the family rather than divorce."

"I know you are angry about the master's previous concubine, but who knows the master's difficulties?"

"I have been exiled for more than ten years. Whenever I receive letters from the capital asking about my offspring, I take care of everything myself and never say a word to you."

"A few years ago in Xuzhou, the old lady was anxious to have an heir for the eldest son, so she took in four beautiful concubines for the master and assigned two maids to take to Xuzhou, intending to use filial piety to force you to agree. However, before they could even appear before you, they were sent back by the master."

"Because of this, the old lady was furious and fell ill in bed. She sent several letters from the capital, urging you to return to the capital to tend to her. Your master suppressed her demands. You have always been the only one in his heart, but he felt guilty for repeatedly disobeying his biological mother. After returning to the capital, he was truly at a loss."
