Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“At 3:10 a.m. today, the world’s richest man, Di Xingchen, and his wife, Xia Wei’an, leaped from the Emperor Corporation’s office building together and died in the name of love!” 

“According to the information, Di Xingchen has been suffering from a terminal illness, and knowing that his days were numbered, he bequeathed all his assets to his wife, Xia Wei’an!”

“Since the news of the deaths of the CEO of Emperor Corporation and his wife came out, the stock price of Emperor Corporation has plummeted steeply…”

…

As soon as the incident was reported, it immediately triggered a national uproar and debate. Almost all the citizens of the nation were deeply touched by Xia Wei’an’s decision to take her own life, but little did they know, Di Xingchen was the one who truly died for love!

Four hours ago, on the top floor of the Emperor Corporation’s office building. 

In the pitch dark night, the stars and moon could not be seen. 

Xia Wei’an stood at the edge of the rooftop and there was an abyss behind her that was ten thousand feet deep. In front of her, there was a handsome man pointing the pitch-black muzzle of a gun at her.

The night breeze whistled and sent a chill through her bones, blowing her exquisite dress and chilling her originally warm heart.

Only at that moment, did she see the true colors of the man in front of her!

“Wei’an, from the moment I learned that Di Xingchen was going to marry you, our meeting was a conspiracy. Now that I have gotten everything I wanted, your existence is no longer of any value. Tell me your last wishes and I will definitely help you fulfill them!” 

The expression on Gu Qianye’s face was still as gentle as before, but Xia Wei’an was no longer joyous. 

She closed her eyes in despair, and a pale face belonging to a person who was tormented by illness suddenly appeared in her mind.

The person was Di Xingchen, her husband in name. 

When she thought of him, she was overwhelmed with guilt and remorse, making her heart feel bitter.

“Spare Di Xingchen and let him live.”

“Hah, are you kidding? Do you really think that the agent you’ve been adding to his meals every day is just a type of drug to worsen his physique? No, that’s poison! After eating it for so many years, how can he still live now!?!”

With a look of astonishment, Xia Wei’an exclaimed, “You! How dare you deceive me!?”

“So what if I lied to you? Does that fool Di really think he’s a Casanova? Despite knowing very well that you’ve been lacing his meals every day, he is still willing to lust after your momentary tenderness. Well, he deserves it!”

Xia Wei’an’s lips trembled because of her anger, but she could not bring herself to say a complete word. 

“Everyone says that Young Master Di of the capital is vicious, cold-blooded, and ruthless, but they don’t know that he has an Achilles’ heel too, and his Achilles’ heel is you! Otherwise, why would I have chosen a weak and brainless woman like you back then?”

Faced with Gu Qianye’s mockery, Xia Wei’an held her breath. She was too foolish to have been bewitched by this man in front of her. Not only did she lace Di Xingchen’s meals all day, she even stole business secrets for Gu Qianye countless times before. Half an hour ago, she even transferred all the properties that Di Xingchen had bequeathed to her, at an incredibly low price!

She was so silly that she couldn’t even tell who was hypocritical and who was sincere!

She felt as if a video reel of the moments of her interaction with Di Xingchen was playing through her mind. His affectionate gaze, gentle smile, the way he would give in to her unconditionally, and his tender care… 

Xia Wei’an clutched her sore heart and started laughing out loud!

Her tears made her exquisite makeup smudge, and her laughter became more and more melancholic. 

She was infatuated and smitten with the person who used her and hurt her, but she ended up killing the one who adored her, loved her, and pampered her to bits!

How ridiculous!

“Gu Qianye, I brought this upon myself, but don’t let me meet you again in my next life, or else, I’ll kill you and scatter your ashes!” 

Xia Wei’an’s eyes were filled with determination as she took a step back and fell backwards without hesitation. 

“No!”

The sudden cry that was full of heartbreaking agony pierced the sky, and a figure jumped right after she did. 

Xia Wei’an looked at Di Xingchen above, tears flowing freely from her eyes.

It was only at this moment that it dawned on her that her fondness of Gu Qianyi was just an obsession with him ever since he saved her when she was a child. After being used by him repeatedly, her affection for him had gradually worn out. 

On the other hand, she had developed feelings for Di Xingchen. 

Xia Wei’an stared closely at Di Xingchen, etching his face deeply in her memory. ‘If we get another chance at life, I’ll love you first in the next lifetime!’
