Secretly Married to the Ice-Cold CEO-Chapter 337: How Much Do You Want for the Breakup Fee?
Yue Xiaoyang’s voice sounded strange, but Gong Xiaoyu didn’t notice. She was so flustered that she forgot what she wanted to say.
"Xiaoyu, I’m listening."
Here, under the scorching sun, Yue Xiaoyang asked the nurse to draw the curtains. The room was as dark as night.
There would be no more sunlight like this for him in the days to come.
The call she was making to him now was his only ray of light in this period. Yue Xiaoyang knew this was their last conversation.
He would no longer have the right to call her name like this from now on.
Gong Xiaoyu asked, "Did you receive my message?"
She was unwilling to end this relationship quietly; it was her three years of youth, after all.
No matter what, she had to hear his answer.
Yue Xiaoyang said, "I received it. You want to break up with me."
"You received it, and then what? Why didn’t you even make a phone call?" Gong Xiaoyu’s voice broke into sobs, "What do you take me for? Before you went abroad, I tried to reach you, but you never answered. Do you know that my mom had a heart attack back then and was hospitalized? I was so scared and needed you so much, but you just..."
Hearing her cry, Yue Xiaoyang clenched his teeth and punched his right leg hard. The wounds on his body tore open, yet his right leg remained numb.
He closed his eyes tightly, "Xiaoyu, I’m sorry."
"Don’t say sorry to me!" Gong Xiaoyu, overwhelmed by her pent-up emotions, exploded, "Yue Xiaoyang, every time you tell me you’re sorry, and every time you break my heart, you bastard!"
Blood seeped from Yue Xiaoyang’s wounds, but he didn’t feel any pain.
No amount of physical pain could compare to the pain in his heart.
He had once thought about protecting her for a lifetime, but now there was no chance.
This was his retribution, perhaps. He didn’t cherish their days together, and heaven would give him no more chances.
"Why don’t you say anything? Don’t you have anything else to say besides sorry? Tomorrow I’m getting engaged to Yu Zheng. Soon, we’ll be married. He treats me so well. I’ll be very happy without you, Yue Xiaoyang. You mean nothing to me!"
Yue Xiaoyang’s heart felt as if it were being pierced by needles, "Xiaoyu, don’t cry. Please don’t cry."
Gong Xiaoyu wiped her tears with the blanket, "I’m not crying. I’m so happy right now."
"Xiaoyu, Yu Zheng will take good care of you. He’s much better than I am. I wish you happiness."
Gong Xiaoyu shouted, "You wish me happiness?"
"Yue Xiaoyang, were the three years we spent together a waste? You used to tell me how much you loved me every day. I propose a breakup, and you don’t try to win me back. I’m getting married, and you still wish me happiness... Yue Xiaoyang, you must have wanted to dump me long ago. You must be secretly happy that I broke things off. I must have been blind to have been with you, you heartless bastard!"
Yue Xiaoyang’s eyes turned red, and his voice changed, "I am a bastard. I can give you as much breakup fee as you want, as compensation for the past three years."
Gong Xiaoyu threw everything on the bed to the ground, her heart cold, "Yue Xiaoyang, did you think I called to ask you for a breakup fee?"
Yue Xiaoyang said, "Then what do you want?"
Gong Xiaoyu threw the phone away, "Go to hell, Yue Xiaoyang!"
Something snapped inside Yue Xiaoyang. The person he cared about probably hated him more than anything. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
He lay in bed for a long time. When the nurse came in to change his dressing, he pushed her out.
The nurse, understanding the patient’s bad mood, said, "Sir, take some rest. I’ll come back later to change your dressing."
After the nurse left, Yue Xiaoyang pulled out the IV needle in his hand. He struggled to sit up, the wounds on his body burning, the sweat mixing with the wounds causing sharp pain. He collapsed back into bed, only managing to sit back up after a long while.
He moved his legs to the floor, his left foot feeling the cold floor, his right foot had no sensation at all.
Yue Xiaoyang held onto the cabinet to stand up but fell to the ground after taking just one step.
Items on the cabinet fell, making a chaotic noise in the ward. The nurse heard the sound and came in to find the patient on the ground, rushing to call the doctor.
Yue Xiaoyang threw things toward the door, shouting in English, "Leave me alone, get out!"
The doctor dared not enter, speaking from outside, "Mr. Yue, please don’t do this. This won’t help your condition at all. If your wound gets infected and you get a fever, it will only make things worse..."
"Get out!"
The doctor closed the door and sighed, "If I were him, I wouldn’t be able to accept becoming disabled either."
The nurse Adri, a white girl, had once seen Doctor Yue’s brilliance on stage at a medical symposium. Now, seeing Doctor Yue in such misfortune, she too felt it was a pity.
She drew a cross on her chest and prayed with clasped hands, "May the Lord hear my voice and bless Doctor Yue with a speedy recovery."
Gong Xiaoyu’s makeup was ruined from crying in front of An Junxi, "Jun Xi, I must have been blind to fall in love with him."
An Junxi listened, furious, truly wanting to fly to the United States to beat up Yue Xiaoyang.
A fear of marriage was no excuse; treating senior like this was just inhuman!
"Senior, don’t cry over someone like this. Don’t forget you have Yu Zheng, he’s so much better than Yue Xiaoyang! Today is your engagement day, and many guests are still waiting outside."
Gong Xiaoyu stopped crying and went into the bathroom to touch up her makeup.
He had said such excessive things, she had no reason to dwell on him anymore.
Zhang Miaoyan and Xie Yuchen arrived in the hall; Xie Yuchen was talking with Gu Yikun. She glanced around but didn’t see Xiaoyu and Jun Xi.
She asked Yu Zheng, and Yu Zheng said, "Maybe they’re in the room."
He ushered the guests to their seats before going to knock on the room door. An Junxi and Gong Xiaoyu emerged, and Yu Zheng immediately noticed Gong Xiaoyu’s red eyes.
He asked, "Have you been crying?"
An Junxi and Zhang Miaoyan returned to their seats, giving them space.
Seeing Yu Zheng’s concerned look, Gong Xiaoyu said, "I haven’t cried, just chatted with Jun Xi for a bit."
Yu Zheng didn’t expose her lie. He offered his arm, "The banquet is starting; let’s eat first."
Gong Xiaoyu linked her arm with his, and they continued to greet the guests and guide them to their seats.
An Junxi noticed her senior and Yu Zheng sitting at the main table, indicating that they had come to an understanding.
Mr. Yu gave a speech on stage, and Yu Zheng and Gong Xiaoyu stood up to toast the guests, creating a jubilant atmosphere in the hall.
When Yu Zheng was about to put the engagement ring on Gong Xiaoyu’s finger, an incident occurred.
You Lifen appeared with journalists at the scene. An Junxi felt a sense of foreboding upon seeing You Lifen in the hall.
What was the young lady up to this time?
Didn’t she know that Yu Zheng didn’t like her? Bringing journalists along, was she trying to ruin her future?
Even though she was the heiress of Youli Entertainment, such behavior would certainly make the company pay for her actions.
An Junxi wanted to pull You Lifen away, but it was too late.
The hall was filled with curious whispers as people recognized her identity, "Isn’t that big star You Lifen, invited by the bride?"
They soon found out the reason for her presence.
