After stopping being a simp, the school heartthrob cried and begged to get back together.

Chapter 86 Only Three Years Left to Live

"It's not impossible," I said coolly. "You don't need to explain to me; I don't care to know."

Gu Heng grabbed my hand: "Shen Yan, they're just trying to frame me."

I looked at him coldly: "Who told you to be the one framed?"

I withdrew my hand and walked out of the hospital.

Gu Heng caught up with me and grabbed my car door, preventing me from getting in.

I was speechless: "Gu Heng, I see through your family's little tricks. If you poisoned him, you just want Gu Yun to frame you in the future, so that Gu Haoran will protect you, his capable and healthy illegitimate son, even more. If it was the mother and son working together, then they want to greatly reduce your standing in Gu Haoran's eyes. But you all know that this matter cannot be reported to the police, as it will affect the company's stock if it gets out."

Gu Heng narrowed his eyes: "You're getting smarter and smarter, but there's one more thing you haven't thought of."

"What?" I asked, puzzled.

"Gu Yun didn't want you to know that I'm a cruel person." He lowered his voice: "Because he knows that I like you very much, and he thinks that preventing me from getting what I want is the greatest revenge against me."

"Heh." I laughed speechlessly: "Gu Heng, some things may work for others, but don't fool yourself. You like me? You're just infatuated with that silly me, who was obedient to you and attentive to you in every way. Once you get me, you'll throw me away. I've seen plenty of men like you."

After I finished speaking, I kicked him in the shin.

He let go because of the pain.

I got into the car, closed the door, and drove away immediately.

Gu Heng watched the car drive away and chuckled to himself, "Shen Yan, you can't escape."

No matter how much he hates her.

He could never live without her.

He had already seen through Gu Yunwei's little scheme.

-

I drove home.

As soon as I entered, something suddenly occurred to me.

I turned to leave.

Mu Xi came out of the room in a daze: "You just got back and you're going out again? Where are you going?"

"I released a little dog," I said helplessly.

"It's okay, dogs are the most loyal. Just pet it and it will obediently come home with you. By the way, are you going to get a pet?" Mu Xi looked at me curiously.

"I haven't decided yet." I really do have a plan: "Xixi, I might have to move out before the Lunar New Year. My mom is coming over, and I want to take her to stay in the villa. It's not very convenient for her here."

"Okay, fine." Mu Xi was a little disappointed.

"Would you like to move in with us?" I asked.

"Is it okay?" Mu Xi asked happily.

“Sure.” I explained, “Actually, the reason I didn’t invite you at first was because I have a child.”

Mu Xi was stunned.

I smiled slightly and closed the door.

Let's leave her in suspense.

I went downstairs and headed towards Huo Yubai's residence.

When I arrived at his door, I was just about to ring the doorbell.

They discovered that the door was not closed, leaving a crack.

Could it have been burgled?

I immediately pushed open the door and went inside.

However, the house was very tidy.

A dim, yellow light was on in the living room.

A person was lying across the sofa with their eyes closed, it was unclear whether they were resting or fast asleep.

I walked over.

"You finally remembered me." Huo Yubai's voice was hoarse.

"Sorry, I ran into the emergency room when I came out." I explained, "You didn't close the door."

"The security here is very good." He said in a calm tone, "It's very late, you should go back and rest."

"Okay, anyway, delaying the acupuncture by a day won't affect the effect." I was indeed a bit tired.

He suddenly sat up, his eyes bloodshot: "Can't you just make a phone call?"

Why didn't you tell him?

He waited all night.

"You made a promise with me." His voice was filled with deep disappointment.

I said awkwardly, "Huo Yubai, listen to me, it's really okay to be a day late. Don't worry, if you're in my hands, you'll definitely live to be a hundred."

Is he too afraid of dying?

Right.

Perhaps he wanted to spend his life with the person he loved.

If I were to die young, I wouldn't be able to be with her.

I understand.

"I won't live to be a hundred, because you've already angered me to death." He sat there, seemingly devoid of any vitality.

It would be a lie to say I'm not worried.

Putting aside Huo Yubai's relationship with that person...

Huo Yubai once genuinely helped me. Back then, he was ruthless and a notorious school bully who could beat someone to a pulp with a single punch.

Now, his heart's capacity to withstand stress is far less than that of a small baby.

"Huo Yubai, what exactly happened to your body?" I frowned deeply. "Aren't your family worried about you?"

“Family?” He lowered his eyes and sneered, “They just wish I were dead.”

"How could that be? Don't you still have... still have him?" I hesitated, unable to finish my sentence.

That person was very protective of him and cared about him a lot.

Huo Yubai slowly raised his head, his dark eyes unfathomable: "Is his name something you're so reluctant to discuss?"

I paused for a moment and then said, "Hmm."

"I'm sorry," he suddenly apologized.

"It's not your fault. If he abandoned you, then I'm even less important to him." I squatted down and said, "Huo Yubai, you will live well. With me here, you won't die. I will help you heal your heart and your body."

Huo Yubai stared at me with bloodshot black eyes: "Shen Yan, you can't cure me. I've seen countless doctors, and they all say I won't live more than three years."

I clenched my fingers; my palms were covered in cold sweat.

The doctors were right.

Huo Yubai has only three years left to live.

That's why I was shocked back then.

"That's because you haven't met me yet." I smiled at him. "I've studied traditional Chinese medicine diligently for five years. You should have some faith in me. I've encountered even the most difficult illnesses, and I've snatched people from the jaws of death."

Huo Yubai gave a slight twitch of his thin lips: "Okay, I believe you."

I smiled faintly: "It's really not suitable for acupuncture this late. You should go back to your room and rest."

"Just lie here." He didn't move. "I'm used to sleeping here."

"Why?" I asked, puzzled.

“When I was busy before, I would come home to an empty house every day and just wanted to find a place that made me feel enveloped. The sofa was the best choice.” He said lightly, “I won’t fall off.”

I sighed: "Huo Yubai, you have a heart problem right now, so it's best for you to lie flat. But you've been lying on your side here, which will put pressure on your heart and put a strain on it."

Huo Yubai looked at me.

"Go to bed." I got up. "You've made so much money, and you've moved to such a nice environment. You should treat yourself better."

He then got up, albeit reluctantly.

I walked with him toward the bedroom.

As I passed by the restaurant, I saw that the food on the table had gone cold.

Seeing that I had stopped, he explained, "The housekeeper will clean up in the morning."

"You haven't eaten?" I asked.

I can tell whether the bowls and chopsticks have been touched or not just by looking.

"Hmm, not hungry." He looked at me intently. "And I have no appetite either."
