My Brilliant CEO Wife

After Liu Mengqi entered the tent, Seductive Snake silently explained to Chu Yan and Zhao Shishi that Yun Hao, in order to remove the Heart-devouring Gu poison from Chu Yan, had been invaded by it himself, leaving him with only one year of life. Then Seductive Snake relayed Tank's words to both women, telling them that Yun Hao's life was already down to one month at the moment he fell off the cliff!

After Seductive Snake finished speaking, both Chu Yan and Zhao Shishi were stunned, especially Chu Yan. She never imagined that Yun Hao would use his own life to save her!

It meant Yun Hao sacrificed himself, using his own life to save her!

"It's because of me that my husband ended up like this. I killed him!" Chu Yan murmured to herself, standing up absentmindedly and walking toward the cliff!

Seeing Chu Yan's condition, Seductive Snake evidently anticipated it, struck her unconscious, and then gestured to her subordinates nearby. Immediately, a few people came over and took Chu Yan back to the villa!

"You shouldn't have told Yan the truth; it will break her!" Zhao Shishi took a while to react, but her expression was somewhat downcast because she didn't want to believe Yun Hao would die!

"If she weren't Yun Hao's wife, I would have killed her already!" Seductive Snake said disdainfully, then also went inside the tent!

In the increasingly cold night, the howling winter wind pricked her face painfully. Looking at the still night around, beautiful, touching, and crystalline tears fell from Zhao Shishi's enchanting eyes!

"You fell down here, Yun Hao. I'm here to accompany you. I won't let you be lonely down here!" Zhao Shishi murmured softly, the silent pearl-like tears mingling with the heartfelt words, shattered by the fierce winter wind in the night!

Zhao Shishi felt she had slept for a very long time. Upon waking, she saw the flowers, trees, and a waterfall cascading nearby, murmuring to herself, "Is this Hell? Hell is so beautiful!"

"Ah, ha, yah!"

Suddenly, cries came from beneath the waterfall nearby. The voice was familiar, so familiar that Zhao Shishi had been startled awake by it in her dreams these days. It was the voice of Yun Hao she longed for day and night!

"Yun Hao, Yun Hao, I knew you'd wait for me!" Zhao Shishi shouted as she ran toward Yun Hao under the waterfall, her face lit with a joyful smile!

"You're awake? What were you thinking jumping off a cliff for no reason?" Yun Hao was straining to pull a large stone slab. Though he couldn't move it entirely, he managed to shift it a little. Hearing Zhao Shishi's call, he put down the iron chain, turned around, and looked at Zhao Shishi with reproach.

"Ah, it's really you. I knew I wasn't hallucinating. Haha, it's wonderful!" Zhao Shishi, ignoring Yun Hao's question, excitedly threw herself on him, wrapping her arms around his neck and laughing joyfully!

"Who else would it be but me?" Yun Hao said cheekily.

"All you know is how to take advantage of me, alive you're a shameless rascal, dead you're a ghost rascal!" Zhao Shishi muttered, pouting, but didn't stop Yun Hao's actions!

"Fine, dare to curse your good husband to death, let's see if I don't punish you!" Yun Hao said, carrying Zhao Shishi to a large rock, pressing her down gently and teasingly looking at her delicate face, which had lost its usual rosy charm due to these days of torment.

"Tell me about what happened outside during this time." Yun Hao flipped to sit on the rock, letting Zhao Shishi sit on his lap, the two facing each other!

After listening to Zhao Shishi's account, a strong killing intention flared in Yun Hao's eyes. Black Moon ambushed him; that was infuriating enough, but to then attack his woman was utterly intolerable!

"Jumping off the cliff, were you planning to die with me?" Yun Hao teased, gently flicking Zhao Shishi's nose with his finger!

"Hmph, even if it was to die with you, what of it? Do you have any objections?" Zhao Shishi, initially reluctant to admit it, thought since she'd already died and become a ghost, what was there to fear saying aloud? So she proudly looked up at Yun Hao!

"So you admit you're in love with me?"

"So what if I am?"

"Still daring to talk tough with me, family law will teach you a lesson!" Yun Hao laughed mischievously.

"Whimper, would you dare hit me?"

"You think I wouldn't dare?" Yun Hao retorted, delivering another slap, though not forcefully.

"Stop, others might see!"

"Relax, no outsiders will come here!" Yun Hao replied softly, confirming as he said, besides him and Zhao Shishi, no others existed in this mountainous forest!

That white-haired man had long left since the day Zhao Shishi fell. After bringing her in, he had departed, and according to his words, he wouldn't return!

But these words meant something else entirely to Zhao Shishi. Indeed, this was Hell; how could anyone else be here?

As for how Yun Hao might eventually leave here and return to the real world, the white-haired man said the moment he could wield the stone slab, that would be the time for him to leave!

Yun Hao was deeply convinced about many things the white-haired man told him, especially regarding cultivation!

Strangely enough, Yun Hao had never easily believed outsiders, yet he firmly believed the white-haired man's words. Even Yun Hao didn't know why he felt an inexplicable closeness toward that white-haired man!

"Then what are you waiting for?" Just as Yun Hao was pondering, Zhao Shishi very assertively spoke up.

"Eh? Can ghosts zone out too? Seems ghosts and humans aren't much different, huh?" Zhao Shishi thought, somewhat bewildered and curiously.
