War of Roses: The Proud Tycoon，Please Surrender!-Chapter 281: Xiao Yan, I’m Sorry

When Gu Yan woke up, the room was dimly lit, with the curtains by the window drawn, and she saw the lights of skyscrapers outside.

The rain had stopped.

It turned out that a day had passed, and the sky was dark.

She tried to get up to turn on the light but felt a pain in her abdomen.

The memories before she fainted suddenly flooded back, and Gu Yan suddenly remembered something, her face turning pale.

She was desperate to know why her abdomen hurt.

She clutched her abdomen, the pain there so clear, supporting herself to get up, helplessly crying out: "Is anyone there? Yan Shuo, are you there? Is anyone there?!"

Yan Shuo, who had been sitting on the bench outside the door, heard the sound inside, hurriedly opened the door, pressed the light switch on the wall, and quickly walked to the bedside to help Gu Yan up.

He said urgently, "Xiao Yan, don’t move around, your body is still very weak."

Gu Yan tightly grasped Yan Shuo’s hand, her gaze filled with expectation, she urgently asked, "Cousin, what’s wrong with me? Why does my stomach hurt so much?"

Why does even my heart hurt so much.

It seemed she lost something very important, feeling hollow, and the cold wind was particularly unbearable.

Yan Shuo tightly pressed his lips, not answering immediately, but first helping her lean against the pillow, then sitting down by the bed.

Yan Shuo looked into Gu Yan’s eyes and said, "Xiao Yan, between you and Tang Yuxiu, there was always an insurmountable gap, anyway, there won’t be any more entanglements between you two, it’s better that the child is gone, just consider it a complete end."

It’s better that the child is gone...

The child is gone...

So, she really was pregnant, but before she even knew the child existed, she had already lost him!

Completely, lost him!

Gu Yan felt a great pain in her heart, as if it was bleeding, suddenly in shreds and tatters.

She clutched her abdomen, biting her lip hard, tears falling without warning, yet not making a sound.

Yan Shuo, seeing her struggling so hard to endure the pain, felt an immense heartache as well.

"Xiao Yan, I’m sorry!"

Gu Yan turned her head to look at the twinkling lights outside the window, silently shedding tears.

Yan Shuo clenched his fist and still apologized, "I’m sorry, Xiao Yan, if it weren’t for my impulsiveness, arguing with Tang Yuxiu, even getting into a fight, you wouldn’t be suffering so much."

Gu Yan thought of Tang Yuxiu and felt another pang of pain in her heart.

These past two days have been too much for her.

Suddenly learning the truth about her father’s death, forced to part from Tang Yuxiu forever, going opposite ways, and now, she is told she lost a child.

The first child in her life.

The only child she had with Tang Yuxiu!

They didn’t even know he had existed, then suddenly, they completely lost him.

The events of these past two days were like a bolt from the blue.

Gu Yan closed her eyes, tears seeping from the corners.

The last bit of connection she had with Tang Yuxiu was gone too!

"I want to be alone for a while, you go out first."

Yan Shuo slightly lowered his eyes, got up without saying more, "Rest well, don’t think too much."

"Okay."

After Yan Shuo went out, the butler was just bringing in the meal prepared by the chef at home, seeing the young master coming out of the ward in a low mood, he guessed that Miss Gu had woken up, but the situation seemed not great.

"Young Master." He called out, glancing at the tightly closed ward door, "How is Miss Gu?"

Yan Shuo’s eyes seemed to be covered with a thin mist, "She’s awake, I told her the truth, she’s very sad."

The butler nodded understandingly, "Anyone would find it hard to accept such a sudden event, if Miss Gu shows any emotional outburst, Young Master, don’t take it to heart."

Yan Shuo glanced at him, chuckling low, "Old Fu, she’s the only one in this world I wouldn’t blame, I haven’t even compensated her for all that she lost over the years, how could I bear to blame her."

Even if now she hits or scolds him, or whatever, he wouldn’t react, let her do as she pleases, as long as it makes her feel a bit better, none of it matters.

The butler sighed, "Miss Gu is also pitiable."

"Rest assured, from now on I’ll treat her doubly well, she’ll have me and the Yan Family as a solid backing, she won’t be pitiable anymore."

Yan Shuo’s eyes looked ahead, filled with determination.

"Old Fu, starting tomorrow, fully suppress the Tang Family, I want Tang Yuxiu to pay for everything Xiao Yan has endured today!"

"Yes."

"Remember, don’t let Xiao Yan find out, I don’t want her to have any more troubles or sadness."

"Understood, I’ll handle it carefully."

"Good, also, find someone to take care of her, she needs to rest and recuperate properly during this period, we can’t let anything else happen."

"Understood, I’ve already chosen someone, transferred from the main family, the old master was pleased when he knew it’s to specially care for the young lady, immediately sent people over, also dispatched two bodyguards for personal protection."

Yan Shuo nodded in satisfaction, "The people from Grandpa’s side are more reliable, it’s good they are coming, I can also be more at ease."

"Young Master, don’t worry too much, Miss Gu will be fine."

"Mm." Yan Shuo responded lightly, glancing at the food container in the butler’s hand, "Don’t take it in yet, let her calm down first, warm it up and send it in later."

"Yes, Young Master."

"I’m going to handle some business, keep a good watch here."

"Yes."

As Yan Shuo walked past the butler and left, he brushed shoulders with someone.

Tang Mubei seldom turned around to take a second look at the distant stranger.

This person looked very unfamiliar, never seen in Jiang City before.

Tang Mubei didn’t bother to think much and walked past Gu Yan’s ward, turned, and entered the ward at the end of the corridor.

Old Sir Tang was still lying in bed in a coma as always.

In the ward, Gu Yan stared blankly out of the window, her mind empty.

Her hand covered her stomach, wanting to press it, but afraid, so she gently rested it there, closing her eyes, her heart still ached.

Pain that can’t be alleviated, impossible to ignore.

She wanted to feel the place where there once was a small life, but there was no movement at all.

Her child was gone... gone...

Gu Yan silently shed tears.

I’m sorry, baby, Mom is sorry for you!

Really too tired, too painful, Gu Yan thought, if only she never existed from the start, how wonderful would that be?

She had no parents, no Tang Yuxiu, not even her child anymore.

Everything she thought she had was gone, her family love, her romantic love, all left her.

Her lips curled into a self-mocking smile, Mom, why back then, did you insist she live well alone, and not take her along?
