Running out with my face covered, listening to their descriptions of my figure and appearance, along with the timing, I knew that person was Lin Wan'er. After hearing the general situation, I got up to leave, feeling a mix of relief and perhaps a bit of sympathy, but it had nothing to do with me since she wanted to ruin my reputation.
Days passed, and Gu Chenxuan's health improved significantly during the doctor's monthly check-ups. He was completely recovered and was as healthy as an ordinary person, no longer weak due to occasional exercise. Father Gu happily sent the doctor off and went with Mother Gu to prepare for the evening's feast to celebrate.
Back in the room, before I could sit down, Gu Chenxuan tightly hugged me from behind. His head nestled against my shoulder, rubbing slightly, and his rapid breaths on my skin seemed to express his excitement.
"Thank you, Xiaoxiao. Without your meticulous care and companionship, I wouldn't have recovered so quickly. I was worried that I would be left with lingering effects and that I would burden you. But today the doctor said I'm well again. I know you understand my feelings, and I also know you've had a hard time in the past. But I want to be with you; I want to be your support. Please don't reject me anymore, okay?"
I turned around to look at him, seeing the gentle and straightforward love in his eyes. Slowly nodding, I realized I couldn't bear to part with him. His tenderness, his thoughtfulness, and the affection he had shown through his actions over the past year made me feel loved. After we confirmed our feelings for each other, we spent every day together, and our relationship rapidly deepened.
Father Gu and Mother Gu saw us sticking together every day and noticed Gu Chenxuan's recovery. They began to add sweet pressure on us by urging us to "start a family." We both found it hard to bear their daily nudges and started going out occasionally for leisure activities—today visiting a temple to pray, tomorrow hiking to see flowers, and the day after that going to a teahouse to listen to stories.
Every day spent with him felt blissful. However, at that moment, rumors suddenly spread outside that I had secretly promised myself to my childhood sweetheart back in the countryside. Initially, I didn't know about it; I overheard some servants chatting casually but remained silent as I quietly returned to my room.
I knew this must have been instigated by the Lin family; Lin Wan'er was indeed relentless. I wanted to explain everything clearly to Gu Chenxuan before he asked me about it, but I feared he might not believe me.
After all, the Lin family are the ones who raised me for over a decade. Eventually, the matter reached the ears of the Gu Family. Gu Chenxuan noticed my heavy heart and my hesitation to speak each day, but he didn't say much. Gradually, I felt a chill in my heart.
During dinner, he saw that I hadn't eaten much and didn't comment further. Instead, he had the servants clear the dishes and pulled me over to the desk. "Xiaoxiao, are you thinking about the rumors circulating in the residence? Are you afraid that I won't believe you? We are husband and wife; you can trust me a little more."
I was taken aback by his words and looked up at him, tears shimmering in my eyes. "I'm scared. I'm afraid you won't believe me, afraid that my parents won't believe me. I don't know how to explain."
"Xiaoxiao, don't worry. As long as I'm here, I will never let anyone hurt you in the slightest!"
"I sent someone to investigate as soon as the rumors started. It was your parents and Lin Wan'er who spread them. I've already told your parents everything that happened; they all believe you. We didn't come to you because we were worried you'd be sad if you learned the truth."
Looking into Gu Chenxuan's determined eyes filled me with emotion. He then took me to meet Father Gu and Mother Gu, where he clarified my life over the years and the events that transpired.
Upon learning about what the Lin family had done to me, Father Gu and Mother Gu not only did not distance themselves from me but instead showed me even more care and concern. I knew they were expressing their trust and love for me in this way.
Father Gu looked at me with compassion in his eyes and said, "Xiaoxiao, you've suffered."
