How could this be?
How could Gu Yunting be so selfish, choosing a life-or-death situation for her without even asking her opinion? Had he considered what she would think?
Tears streamed down Ye Wan's face as her frail body trembled. Luo Su, who had initially intended to disrupt Gu Yunting's life and then leave, approached her with amusement, observing her distress. "Are you genuinely heartbroken or merely feigning it? Shouldn't you feel honored and pleased that a man is willing to die for you?"
Ye Wan looked at the man before her, then suddenly raised her hand and slapped him hard across the face. Ye Wan knew that Gu Yunting's poisoning was undeniably linked to this man. She despised him profoundly, so her action was swift and precise.
Luo Su had never anticipated that Ye Wan would strike him so suddenly. He was completely caught off guard. Could such a soft, delicate girl possess the ferocity of a lion, baring her claws?
Truly, she was Gu Yunting's woman.
"You poisoned him, didn't you? You scumbag, you pest!" Ye Wan glared furiously at the man, wishing she could tear him to shreds!
Luo Su paused for a moment, then touched his stinging cheek and laughed. "Little girl, you have quite the courage. Fitting for the woman Gu Yunting fancies. However, you will soon be a widow. Why don't you come with me? Out of respect for Gu Yunting, I might treat you well!"
"Get lost! You despicable person, I would rather die than be complicit with a wretch like you! You don't need me to ask how I know you're despicable; the words 'cowardly and shameless' are written all over your face!" Ye Wan hated her own powerlessness. If she could, she would chop this man into pieces and feed him to the dogs.
"The little girl is quite sharp-tongued. Let's see how long you can maintain that attitude. I'll give you a hint: Gu Yunting is not beyond saving. There is another antidote in this world. If you are truly capable, go and find the antidote for your man." Luo Su had not intended to share this information, but he changed his mind. He found that the more complicated things became, the more interesting they were.
He wanted to stir up trouble around Gu Yunting, to prevent him from focusing all his efforts on pursuing him, thus giving himself a chance to breathe and escape. Daifeng Novel
Luo Su felt he was being foolish. He could capture this woman now and threaten Gu Yunting, who would undoubtedly comply. Taking his life would be easy, but he didn't actually want Gu Yunting dead.
A flicker of hope ignited in Ye Wan's previously desolate heart. Her pupils widened in shock. She suddenly reached out and tightly gripped the man's arm, asking, "Do you know where the antidote is? Tell me!"
"I don't know where the antidote is, and even if I did, why would I tell you? If you want to save Gu Yunting, find it yourself with your own abilities. After all, Gu Yunting traded his life for yours." Luo Su then pushed Ye Wan away and quickly turned to leave.
Less than five minutes after Luo Su departed, Gu Yunting's voice echoed from outside. His tone was urgent and filled with concern as he repeatedly called her name. Ye Wan raised her hand to cover her mouth, tears flowing uncontrollably.
But no matter how difficult it was, she had only one thought now: she had to save him!
Ye Wan looked at the man standing outside, dressed in white, his short hair tousled by the sea breeze, his phoenix-like eyes filled with anxiety. She felt a pain so intense it was as if she were dying.
