A BITTER LIFE

PART 17

"Why did you only tell me all of this now?" Yibo asked. "I'm sorry" He said in a low voice. "Seeing you reminds me of him, how he cheated on me" Yibo's thought.

"I met a good friend of mine who told me that sometimes it's not bad to express your true feelings because if you always keep them to yourself, in the end, you'll be the one hurting without others knowing." A-Yuan said while looking at his bracelet.

Flashback to Yibo's parents' anniversary.

As they looked at the sky, Gu Wei spoke. "I have something to give you."

"What is it?" A-Yuan asked excitedly. Gu Wei took out a bracelet and put it on A-Yuan's wrist. "No matter what happens, don't lose this. It's called a magic bracelet. You can tell it all your secrets that you don't want to share with others. If you have something you want to eat or a place you want to visit, just tell this bracelet, and it will come true."
Unbeknownst to A-yuan, Gu Wei has put something on the bracelet where he can see and hear what is happening around A-yuan. Now that he's back, he will do everything to protect his child and prevent Liying from hurting him.

Elsewhere, upon hearing what was said on the other line, Liying checked the screen to see if she had called the wrong number. Once she confirmed it was Yibo's phone, she immediately went to the hospital the nurse mentioned.

Meanwhile, Gu Wei was safely placed in a hospital bed. They all sighed in relief when they found out he had fainted from stress. Before they could perform any tests, Gu Wei slowly regained consciousness and suddenly sat up upon realizing he was in a hospital bed. However, the nurse had him lie back down while informing him that his spouse was on the way, which puzzled Gu Wei.

"Spouse?" he asked the nurse, who nodded in response. Before he could ask the nurse more questions, he saw Liying approaching. He was surprised but didn't show it as she came closer. At the same time, the nurse handed him a phone, but both he and Liying reached for it.

"This is my husband's phone" Liying said firmly, still holding onto the phone.
"He lent it to me, so I should be the one to return it. And what are you doing here?" Gu Wei asked, raising an eyebrow while holding onto the phone. The nurse was about to speak when Gu Wei told her to leave.

"Why are you here? Why do you have my husband's phone? Why are you with my husband? Are you that close that he would trust you with his phone?" Liying asked in rapid succession. Instead of answering, Gu Wei pulled the phone from Liying's hand, causing her to let go. Gu Wei left the hospital bed, but before he could leave, Liying gave him a hard slap. "I'm asking you why you have my husband's phone and where my husband is."

Gu Wei touched his cheek, and Liying was surprised when Gu Wei slapped her back. "Just because you're a woman doesn't mean I can't hurt you. And if I answer your question about how close your husband and I are, maybe you won't be able to handle it" He grinned. Before they could argue further, Yibo approached them.

Yibo: "What's going on here? Why are you here, Liying?"

Noticing that Gu Wei had an IV attached, Yibo quickly approached him. "Are you okay? What happened to you? Why do you have this?" Yibo asked, while Liying watched angrily.

"I fainted, probably from lack of sleep," Gu Wei calmly replied, though he could see Liying's intense anger from the corner of his eye. "Did you sleep well when you got home? I told you not to go home" Yibo said, seemingly forgetting that Liying was with them.

Before Gu Wei could speak, Liying bombarded Yibo with questions. "What did you say? Don't tell me you were together last night?" Yibo looked at Liying and, instead of answering, asked his own question. "Why are you here? Weren't you with Andro? How is he?"

Liying: "Answer my question!"

"No matter how expensive your clothes are, if the person wearing them acts like trash, they look cheap" Gu Wei said, removing the IV.

"What are you doing? You're still weak," Yibo said. Gu Wei looked around. "We're in a hospital. If you two are going to fight, don't do it here" he said as he walked away but stopped when Yibo grabbed his hand
while Liying held onto Yibo's other hand.
Gu Wei looked at them, then at Yibo's hand held by Liying. And then at his own hand held by Yibo. He chuckled "This is the perfect situation, for him to chase me, Liying to chase Yibo, while I watch them as they slowly destroy their family" Gu Wei's thought.
