My Sexy CEO Wife

That night, Gao Fei thought about many things. He thought of Bai Daqing and Bai Mudan, thought of Shangguan Yunyue, and thought of his parents and wife in another realm, and his friends.

"Shangguan Yunyue, where in the world did you go?"

"Su Xiaorou, Shen Caidie, Liu Mengyao, Ouyang Lan, Meng Xiaoyu… are you all right? I truly miss you all!"

"Dad, Mom, don't work too hard, and be sure to rest well."

"Just give me a little more time, after I advance to the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, I'll come back to find you."

...

Morning came.

Emperor Dugu Jingtian sat in the great hall, dealing with the backlog of petitions.

Just then, a guard hurriedly ran in: "Your Majesty, Prince Bai Daqing has destroyed his Dantian and abandoned all his cultivation."

"What?" Dugu Jingtian was stunned.

"This is a letter Bai Daqing wrote to Your Majesty." The guard took out a letter from his bosom.

"Bring it here."

"Yes."

The guard walked over, handed the letter to Dugu Jingtian, and then stepped aside.

Dugu Jingtian opened the letter, glanced at it, and his brow furrowed. The letter contained only one sentence: Your loyal subject is willing to resign from the prince's position and discard his cultivation, pleading for Your Majesty to spare my life! Dugu Jingtian sighed lightly, "What a pity… truly a pity… Go to the prison, tell the person in charge to release Bai Daqing."

"Yes!" The guard took the order and left.

"Snap!"

Dugu Jingtian threw the letter on the table, huffing angrily, "Dongfang Jian! Are you satisfied now!?"

...

Meanwhile, Dongfang Jian also received the news: "What? Bai Daqing has discarded his cultivation? And resigned from his princely position? What is he trying to do?" One could tell that Dongfang Jian was very surprised.

Is this him showing weakness to me?

Having resigned from his princely position and discarded his cultivation, Bai Daqing no longer posed any threat to Dongfang Jian, who then had no reason to kill him anymore.

After contemplating for a moment, Dongfang Jian said, "Well then! I'll let you go! Since you've become powerless and can no longer threaten me, I'll spare your life."

"My lord."

The Tenth Princess, Dugu Xiu, pushed the door open and walked in: "How do you feel today?"

"Quite good," Dongfang Jian replied with a smile. "My injuries are no longer serious, and I estimate I'll fully recover in a few days."

"That is excellent news." Dugu Xiu pulled up a chair and sat down, smiling at Dongfang Jian: "I did something today."

"What is it?"

"I sent someone to find Bai Mudan, and if all went as planned, the child in her belly has already been dealt with."

"Ah?" Dongfang Jian's face changed drastically, his eyes fixed on Dugu Xiu: "You… are you serious?"

"Do I look like I'm joking?" Dugu Xiu said with a calm tone: "That child was a threat to me, and I had to eliminate it."

"You…"

"Are you angry? Do you care about that child? Or do you still hold a torch for Bai Mudan?"

"No… that's not what I mean…"

"Then what do you mean? Dongfang Jian, since you are my husband, you must be completely devoted to me and have no other thoughts."

"Actually, I also didn't want the child," Dongfang Jian's face twitched, and he forced a smile: "As for Bai Mudan, I have long forgotten about her."

"Speaking from the heart?"

"Absolutely from the heart."

"My lord." Dugu Xiu leaned forward, stretching out her hand to gently caress Dongfang Jian's face: "Don't blame me for being cruel, I had no other choice."

"Understood," Dongfang Jian nodded nonchalantly, "I won't blame you... However, I hope that if something similar happens in the future, you will discuss it with me first instead of telling me after the fact."

"Sure, no problem," Dugu Xiu responded with a charming smile.

...

Inside the inn.

Bai Mudan lay on the bed, eyes tightly closed, her face deathly pale, and her forehead dripping with cold sweat.

Gao Fei stood by the bed, his expression extremely ugly: "Damn it! The bastard! How could he be so cruel!!!" This morning, Gao Fei had gone out to run some errands, and when he returned, he found Bai Mudan lying on the ground with her belly cut open, and the unborn child was gone.

Gao Fei had gone to great lengths to save Bai Mudan's life.

"Look on the bright side," Gao Fei sighed lightly, "The child is gone... but we can have another..."

"Gao Fei," Bai Mudan slowly opened her eyes.

"Hmm?"

"I don't want to live anymore."

"What?"

"I really don't want to live anymore! The man I loved abandoned me, my father is deep in prison, and now the child is gone too... What's the point of living on?"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Gao Fei said angrily, "No matter the setback, you must never entertain thoughts of death! You must live, live well!"

"I can't go on..."

"I ask you! Do you want revenge?"

"What?"

"Dongfang Jian did this to you, don't you want to take revenge?"

"Yes!" Bai Mudan gritted her teeth and said, word by word: "I want revenge! I want revenge!!!"

"Then pick yourself up! Live well, for only by living can you have your revenge," Gao Fei said.

"Right! I must live! I must take revenge! I must live in order to take revenge!" Bai Mudan clenched her fists and yelled with all her might, "I must live!!! Dongfang Jian, you wanted me dead, didn't you? Well, I refuse to die! Just you wait, I will not let you off the hook!"

Gao Fei had awakened Bai Mudan's hatred, and from this point on, she was going to live for the sake of that hatred!

...

Several days later.

Bai Daqing emerged from the prison, his hair completely white, his face lined with wrinkles, hunched over, and walking unsteadily, looking like an old man whose days were numbered.

"Prince Bai," Gao Fei hurried over and supported Bai Daqing, "how did you come to be like this?"

"I am no longer a prince, if you don't mind, simply call me Uncle Bai," Bai Daqing said.

Gao Fei nodded: "Uncle Bai."

"Hmm, have you seen my daughter?"

"I have..."

"Where is she? Take me to her quickly."

"...Alright."

An hour later, Bai Daqing saw Bai Mudan: "Ah! Mudan, what happened to you! Damn it! Who did this! Who did this!!!" Seeing his daughter's pitiful state, Bai Daqing instantly flew into a rage, howling madly.

"It was Dongfang Jian who did it," Gao Fei said somberly.

"Damn it!!! Dongfang Jian! I will kill you!!! I will kill you!!!" Bai Daqing's eyes were blood-red, his expression ferocious, looking utterly terrifying.

"Uncle Bai," Gao Fei gripped Bai Daqing's arm, speaking softly, "Don't be agitated! Take care of yourself! Dongfang Jian is heartless and will get his comeuppance sooner or later."

"My daughter, my poor daughter," Bai Daqing knelt by the bed, his tears streaming down unrestrained, crying bitterly, "I'm sorry, I failed to protect you, I'm so sorry."

"Father..." Bai Mudan reached out shakily and wiped the tears from her father's face, "Don't cry, I'm alright..."

Gao Fei shook his head, emitted a sigh, and then turned and walked out.
