"Bo Jinhang, let's have a child..."
With a firm resolve in her heart, Gu Nanqiao kissed the man's lips as if making a sacrificial offering.
The man, not fully conscious, instinctively held onto Gu Nanqiao's waist in response.
His not-so-gentle movements made Gu Nanqiao let out a soft whimper.
In this area, she had no experience, didn't know how to take the initiative. Her awkward advances instead excited the man, making him lose even more control...
An hour later, everything had ended.
The man lay beside Gu Nanqiao, his face pale, sleeping soundly.
He was really handsome!
Gu Nanqiao stared at his face, sighing with emotion, yet also grieving. He was terminally ill, and wouldn't live long.
In their three years of marriage, Bo Jinhang often fainted and even while awake, his condition was very poor.
Perhaps it was his illness that affected his personality, making him gloomy.
Despite being husband and wife, they hardly spoke to each other.
The reason she did this outrageous act today was the conversation she overheard in the afternoon between Bo Jinhang's doctor and her mother-in-law, Xiao Ruyu.
In the study room at that time, the atmosphere was unbearably oppressive.
Bo Jinhang's attending doctor told Xiao Ruyu, "Young Master Bo's condition has worsened, he may not last a few days."
Xiao Ruyu almost fainted on the spot when she heard the news.
When she regained consciousness, she cried her heart out, "No, how could this happen? Jin Xing is still so young, he hasn't even had children yet, how could he possibly..."
She couldn't accept this outcome and was tugging at the doctor's hand, hysterical, "Find another way, find a way to save Jin Xing. I don't care, I want my son safe and sound! I won't let it lie if something happens to him... "
Faced with the distraught Xiao Ruyu, the doctor shook his head and sighed, saying, "Madam, we've truly done our best."
Her thoughts broke off there.
Gu Nanqiao looked at the stunning face in front of her, unsure what to feel.
She married Bo Jin Xing primarily because her mother was seriously ill, with no money for medical treatment, and she herself was still a student, needing to take care of her elderly grandmother.
Driven to desperation, she agreed to marry Bo Jin Xing!
In the three years of their marriage, she has fulfilled her role and responsibilities as a wife.
Even when his health was poor, she took very good care of him.
Now that the doctor has announced his fate and their marital bond is coming to an end, she doesn't know how she can help him.
Perhaps all she could do was to try her best to leave him with a child as a repayment to the Bo family...
Gu Nanqiao fell asleep in a daze.
What she didn't expect was that three days later, a huge reversal occurred in the Bo family!
Bo Jin Xing, once declared incurable, suddenly recovered.
Moreover, on the first day of his recovery, he personally rectified the Bo Clan and acted decisively. He expelled his elder cousin, Bo Jingtian, who held significant power, from the family and sent him overseas directly.
As for himself, he had become the current person in power of the Bo Clan.
When this news came out, the whole city of Hai was rocked and everyone was in awe of this young patriarch's iron-fisted control!
When Gu Nanqiao heard the news, she could hardly believe it at first.
However, what followed was immense joy.
She was expectantly and happily waiting for Bo Jinhang to come back.
In the evening.
The sound of a car engine tore through the silence of the night.
Gu Nanqiao looked excitedly towards the gate of the Bo's mansion.
Bo Jinhang had returned!
The moment the man stepped long-legged into the house, like a bright and dazzling moon in the sky, his attractive face was as stunning as a god. His thin lips were tightly pursed, and there was an air of coldness and nobility about him.
Gu Nanqiao subconsciously wanted to go forward to greet him.
But the man looked at her with cold eyes and gradually approached her.
When he reached her, the first words he said were, "Sign the letter."
Gu Nanqiao was slightly taken aback as she took the letter to read.
It's a divorce agreement!
Gu Nanqiao was completely stunned, her gaze closely fixed on the document, unable to believe what was happening inside her.
She looked at Bo Jinhang and asked, "What is this... what do you mean?"
She tried to control her unsteady emotions, but her slightly trembling voice betrayed her.
Bo Jinhang responded ruthlessly, with an indifferent tone, bluntly telling her, "You know exactly why we got married in the first place!"
He looked at Gu Nanqiao, his thin, narrow phoenix eyes appealing yet also incredibly indifferent.
"This marriage was nothing more than a scheme by my cousin, and you were merely the tool he used to humiliate me! Don’t pretend you didn’t know, I’ve had someone in my heart all this time. So, this marriage farce should end as well!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Nanqiao felt as if something had stabbed her in heart.
A vague pain.
She admitted that when they got married, there was no foundation of feelings.
But after three years, she had accepted him as her significant other.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have done what she did that night...
However, the man's resolute decision made Gu Nanqiao know that there was no room for turnaround in this matter.
So, all words finally turned into a solemn acceptance.
She nodded, agreeing to Bo Jinhang's decision.
"I understand."
It was just a three-year marriage after all. The Bo family had even covered the cost of her mother's medical bills, so she didn't think she was actually losing out.
That's what Gu Nanqiao thought, her expression was unusually calm.
She picked up the pen that lay next to her, briskly signing her name.
Bo Jinhang was slightly taken aback, it seems he didn't expect things to go so smoothly.
Watching Gu Nanqiao swiftly sign her name on the divorce agreement, unanswered emotions wavered in him, the words slipped out, "Whatever compensation you want, I can give you."
To his own surprise, he'd said it.
Gu Nanqiao shook her head, "That won't be necessary, what the Bo family have given me these past years is enough."
Having said that, she went upstairs to pack her bags and left the Bo family's residence that very night.
......
Six years later, in Country D.
After completing an academic conference, Gu Nanqiao, tired and pinching her brow, exited the office building.
Assistant Qi Na's car was waiting by the roadside.
After Gu Nanqiao got into the back seat, she instructed, "Back to the research institute."
Qi Na, in the driver's seat, paused momentarily before glancing at the rearview mirror and reminded gently, "Qiaoqiao, have you forgotten that we need to return to our country today?"
After hearing this, Gu Nanqiao remembered the matter.
This time, she was returning to her home country because her mentor, Ji Xueru, entrusted her with completing a collaborative project!
Gu Nanqiao was a little helpless, "I really have been extremely busy… Three days of continuous meetings, my head is filled with all that data! My mentor could have assigned someone else to this. I already have enough on my plate, yet he insists on piling more onto me."
Qi Zina, hearing her complaints, chuckled, "Well, others would have loved to go, but who asked you to be Professor Ji's most proud student?"
No one else had a choice.
When Qi Zina spoke, there was a tone of admiration in her voice.
As a graduate from the same medical school, her boss, and a good friend, Gu Nanqiao, had become an extraordinary surgeon in the industry. She had made a name in the medical world, with many wealthy individuals paying heavily for her medical services, and many sought her connections.
Especially her magnificent ancient medical techniques, which never ceased to amaze!
However, Gu Nanqiao is low-key, so very few people in the outside world know her true identity.
Thinking about this, Qi Zina started a conversation with her, "You haven't been back for many years. The old lady and the aunt have been always thinking about you and your two children. Don't you miss them?"
Upon hearing the mention of her family, Gu Nanqiao looked out the window at the receding view, and remained silent.
Miss them? Of course, she did.
Six years ago, after her divorce, she settled her mother and grandmother, then went abroad to study.
Originally, she had planned to return home after fulfilling her studies, but to her surprise, she discovered she was pregnant in her first year abroad and gave birth to triplets.
This led to her postponing graduation.
Afterward, she was appreciated by her teacher and worked on a project with him, which caused her some delay.
It's about time to go back home!
Gu Nanqiao thought in her heart as she chatted leisurely with Qi Zina from time to time.
Twenty minutes later, she arrived home, and as soon as she stepped through the door, she was embraced by two identical little boys.
The little guys have rosy lips and white teeth, exquisite features, and tender little faces which were simply adorable.
They looked up, blinked their round eyes, and said in childish voices, "Mommy, welcome home!"
Seeing the two little ones, Gu Nanqiao couldn't help but smile, and her heart melted.
They were her two treasures.
Their nicknames were Xiangxiang and Nian Nian.
Originally, she had triplets, but the youngest daughter died at birth, which is her greatest pain in this life.
Gu Nanqiao composed herself, bent down and asked the two little ones, "Have you packed your luggage? If so, let's head to the airport and go back to our country to see grandmother and great-grandmother."
"Okay!"
The little ones obediently replied.
"Mommy, we've also prepared a lot of tonics for grandmother and great-grandmother!"
“Look, it's a whole suitcase!"
"Really? Good job, my little ones!"
Gu Nanqiao couldn't help but ruffle the heads of the two little ones.
The things that need to be cleaned up at home are basically packed now.
Soon, Gu Nanqiao took the children to the airport, and two hours later, the four of them boarded a plane to Hǎi City.
After a dozen hours of flight, most of which were spent sleeping, upon landing, Gu Nanqiao couldn't help but stretch his back.
We've finally arrived!
As they collected their luggage and prepared to leave, they discovered that the airport was under complete lockdown.
A group of uniformed police officers and black-suited bodyguards seemed to be inspecting something.
The mobilization was massive, making Gu Nanqiao somewhat surprised, wondering what was going on.
Zina was also puzzled, so she quickly asked a passerby, "Excuse me, do you know what's happening here? What are they checking for?"
The passerby was quite friendly and leaned in to whisper, "You know, Bo's Family in Hǎi City, the prominent one. It's said that the daughter of the president of Bo Corporation has gone missing, so they are conducting a full-scale search right now."
The President of Bo Corporation?
Isn't that Bo Jinhang?
Gu Nanqiao was stunned for a moment, not expecting to hear news of this person as soon as she returned to the country.
So, that man already has a daughter?
That was really fast…
