Chapter 315 Hold Tight and Never Let Go
The voice carried a raspiness, but Jiang Mengyu recognized it: It was Gu Dongxingâs voice!
A wave of emotion surged in Jiang Mengyuâs heart: Could it be that after being trapped in the valley for nearly a month, Gu Dongxing had been searching for her all along?
She had been worrying about how to get outâalthough she had gotten control of the Array in Medicine Valley, she had wandered so deep into the mountains that she couldnât even distinguish north from south.
But now, with Gu Dongxing present, she could follow him out.
With a fiery passion in her heart, she ignored checking the space, and with a burst of energy, she called out towards Gu Dongxingâs direction with a long shout: "Brother Guâ, Iâm hereâin the valleyâ"
By now, Gu Dongxing had practically made it a daily routine to come to these mountains to search for Jiang Mengyu after having his factory staff help search for over half a month. Unable to continue allocating manpower to the search, he had no choice but to take turns with Cheng Jiuhe to look for her.
Today was just a routine search, but unexpectedly, after he called out, he actually heard Jiang Mengyuâs voice.
He was ecstatic: "Itâs Jiang Mengyu, itâs Jiang Mengyu, sheâs really still here!"
With that, he rushed towards the direction of Jiang Mengyuâs voice.
Gu Dongxing could hardly believe it: Did he really find his little wife today?
"Xiao Mengâ"
"Brother GuâIâm hereâ"
"Xiao Mengâ"
"Brother GuâIâm hereâ"
Gu Dongxing, swift as a leopard, closed the distance between himself and Jiang Mengyu, who also headed towards him. In short order, they saw each other.
Jiang Mengyuâs first impression: Gu Dongxing had grown thinner, darker, barely recognizable, his wan appearance painfully heart-wrenching. How had he coped during the month she was gone?
Gu Dongxingâs first impression: His little one was still alive, what a relief!
And, his little one seemed to have grown taller. Previously she was only 1.58 meters tall, now she had reached 1.65 meters.
Before, when Jiang Mengyu walked beside the 1.9-meter-tall Gu Dongxing, she looked like a child with an adultânow, at last, they seemed more matched.
The next moment, Gu Dongxing rushed up to her and held Jiang Mengyu tightly, as if clinging to a treasured possession regained.
He held her so tightly, Jiang Mengyu almost couldnât breathe.
"Iâm sorry, Iâm sorry Xiao Meng, I was wrong, I should have told you first, I was wrong, I wanted to apologize to you, it was because I mistakenly accepted Ye Shengâs request. Ye Qing isnât my responsibility, I shouldnât have brought her back.
Actually, itâs okay to bring her back for you to treat her, because I have to repay her grandfatherâs kindness. But after that, I can no longer take care of her, sheâs an adult, she doesnât need my care, her health is restored now, even less so.
Xiao Meng, Iâm sorry, this is the thing I wanted to apologize for.
I said I was helpless because my Mom accepted her as a goddaughter, and I couldnât prevent it, I felt so helpless. I donât want her as a sister, because she will make you uncomfortable, so I wonât deal with her anymore.
Jiang Mengyu, donât avoid me, donât ignore me, donât leave me, Iâll go insane."
Jiang Mengyu hadnât expected that Gu Dongxing would start explaining this matter as soon as they met.
After listening to his explanations, she realized she had misunderstood him. She thought his apology was because he was going to be with Ye Qing, his helplessness because it was against his will, but under Hai Xueâs pressure, he had no choice but to accept Ye Qing.
Her reason for fleeing from his side, not wanting to hear what she believed to be "the truth," resulted in her being trapped in this valley for nearly a monthâwasnât she too foolish?
Enduring the pain from being tightly embraced, she said: "Brother Gu, you need to relax a little."
At this moment, Gu Dongxing was like a child who couldnât bear to let go of his beloved toy.
"No, I wonât let go, if I do, youâll run away, and Iâll lose sight of you. You have no idea how miserable Iâve been for nearly a month, if I canât find you, IâIâ"
