Chapter 318: In order to love me, are you willing to sacrifice everything?
Chapter 318 To love me, are you willing to sacrifice everything?
Gu Ci and Lu Zhiyuan looked at each other. They had a tacit understanding. They both raised their glasses. Just as they were about to clink their glasses, Gu Ziyu ducked his glass and said, "Each person makes a wish."
The three of them clinked glasses together. Gu Ziyu said, "I hope my mother will be healthy, live a long life, and take care of my children when she gets old."
Gu Ci, “…”
Lu Zhiyuan, “…”
Son, do you clearly distinguish between wishes and extravagant hopes? It's quite far-reaching.
Gu Ci was amused by him, and Gu Zi smiled every time he looked at her, "Mom, what is your wish?"
“Ziyu grew up safely and responded to the country’s call to have three children.”
Lu Zhiyuan, “…”
Gu Ziyu, “…”
The expressions on both father and son's faces were very subtle. Gu Ziyu, the little warm-up expert, asked, "Dad, what is your wish?"
Lu Zhiyuan looked at the cups gathered together. What is his New Year's wish? She only wished that Gu Ci would be safe, happy and worry-free. Gu Ci also looked at Lu Zhiyuan, his eyes were clearly full of nostalgia and longing, but he also acted cold and distant.
"My wish...Long live freedom!" Lu Zhiyuan gently touched Gu Ci and Zi Yu's cups and drank them all in one gulp. Gu Ci's face instantly turned as cold as frost and snow.
Lu Zhiyuan also looked directly into her eyes, his face was very calm. He was not as cold as the third master, nor as furious as the third young master. He dealt with his situation calmly, with a kind of calmness that he would make peace with as soon as it came.
A storm was gathering in Gu Ci's heart, but Gu Ziyu was holding her last bit of sanity. She didn't want to go crazy in front of Zi Yu.
“Dad, you are so terrible!” Gu Ziyu had long felt the subtle pull between his parents. His father wanted to be free and did not want to be involved with them, but his mother wanted to confine him.
This is an unsolvable question.
Gu Ci has been drinking, Lu Zhiyuan has been eating, Gu Ziyu is a master of atmosphere, and Xiao Ziyu is observing while being a master of atmosphere. The atmosphere between Lu Zhiyuan and Gu Ci is cold, with a feeling of familiar strangers, which means that the marriage is unhappy. divorce.
Gu Ci would drink one glass after another of red wine, her eyes blank, but Lu Zhiyuan would look at her secretly, and when Gu Ci looked over, he would look away again, creating a subtle atmosphere.
Midway, Gu Ziyu called, and he went out to answer the phone.
Gu Ci finished half a bottle of red wine. Lu Zhiyuan was well aware of her drinking capacity. When she wanted to continue drinking, he held her wrist, looked up at her, and said gently but without hesitation, "Stop drinking!"
"Why do you care about me?" Gu Ci turned sideways, the tip of her nose almost touching his, "Lu Zhiyuan, you are completely done with me. Whatever I do has nothing to do with you."
Lu Zhiyuan's eyebrows were slightly cold as he grabbed the wine bottle and drank the remaining half of the bottle of red wine without even bothering to pour it out. The wine slid down the corner of his lips from his neck and splashed on his collar, which was so bright and vivid. And full of lust.
Gu Ci licked her lips, her mouth was a little dry.
Lu Zhiyuan placed the wine bottle heavily on the table, "The last time I drank, I went crazy. Did you forget it so quickly?"
"How could I forget? You pushed me into the lake and almost drowned me when I was drunk." Gu Ci sneered and said, "At that moment, I knew that you really didn't love me."
Gu Ci's eyes were slightly red, "Lu Zhiyuan, in your last life... why did you marry me? Are you pitying me?"
"I don't want you to be trampled on, and I don't want you to sink in the abyss. I want to heal you." Lu Zhiyuan suppressed the attachment that surged in his heart. "The suffering you have suffered is all caused by me. I can't sit back and ignore it." "It's just pity, guilt, you want to make up for me?" Gu Ci's heart was cut by a knife.
Lu Zhiyuan looked at Gu Ci's fragile eyes, which were heartbreaking. Her eyes were yelling crazily, please tell me you love me quickly, don't give up on me, please, but she was so stubborn.
“Is it important?” His voice was slightly hoarse.
"It's very important!" Gu Ci wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, "I don't care whether your story is true or false. Things in the past and present life have nothing to do with me. I just want to know... why do you want to marry me? Lu Zhiyuan, you said that if I can’t find a reason to live, I will live for you, have you forgotten?”
She has been living for him, he is her salvation and her faith.
He died, and so did her heart!
Now, he abandoned her again.
"I loved you!" Lu Zhiyuan chuckled, with pity and affection, "Whether you are a test from the gods or a reincarnated Gu Ci, I love you. My soul is always attracted to you. When we first met, You are so young, I just want to protect you. The half of my soul has been stripped of my emotions and has no love, but I can't help but protect you, Xiaoci, no matter how many reincarnations I have, even if I lose my memory and forget you, I will still protect you. I will fall in love with you at first sight, and I will still admire you. This is my curse and my destiny.”
He paused and said, "But I can't be with you, Xiaoci. I don't want to give up my heart for you. I deliberately say unpleasant words to irritate you and make you despair and suffer."
"I love you and there is nowhere to hide, but if you are with me, your family will be ruined. You will lose not only me, but also Ziyu and the Jiang family." He looked at Gu Ci tenderly, " Family happiness, are you happy? You are enjoying family life with them, are you willing to let them go through life and death again? Do you love me so much that you don’t care if you lose everyone? "
Gu Ci's face was pale and she leaned stiffly on the chair. The red wine she drank burned her heart and lungs. Lu Zhiyuan's words were more lethal than his lies.
Lu Zhiyuan asked gently yet coldly, "Xiao Ci, are you willing to lose them for me?"
“Stop talking!” Gu Ci shouted sharply.
Lu Zhiyuan asked again, "After losing everyone, will you be happy with me?"
"I told you to stop talking!" Gu Ci was greatly irritated and her eyes were red. This frightened Gu Ziyu who had just returned. Gu Ci staggered away, very embarrassed.
Lu Zhiyuan's eyes were gentle and powerful. He tolerated her pain and condoned her anger, but firmly rejected her.
Gu Ziyu looked at her back and said angrily, "Dad, today is New Year's Eve. Why do you want to provoke Mom? Is there anything you can't do until after New Year's Eve?"
“Ziyu, let her be quiet for a while, don’t worry, she will figure it out.”
Lu Zhiyuan, however, knew very well that tonight was the best time to confess to Gu Ci. She had just enjoyed the happiness of her family, and she needed to deeply understand the pain of gaining and losing again.
She must understand what she has to lose in order to love him! Only then can she truly give up and let go!
Gu Ziyu came in, stood in front of him, and asked softly, "Do you really not love your mother at all?"
"I love her very much." Lu Zhiyuan frowned, "I can sacrifice everything to protect you, but Ziyu, only by staying away from me can you be safe."
"I don't understand."
Lu Zhiyuan said in a deep voice, "Whether I am by your side or not, I will do my best to protect you. You just need to remember this."
