The Delicate Cannon Fodder Is Coveted By Her Ex-Husband In The Love Show Chapter 5
byChapter 5 Gu Minghe, Let’s Get a Divorce
Chapter 5
“Film Emperor Gu Minghe was involved in a car accident during filming and has been rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment. Specific details are unknown. Currently, his studio and manager have not responded.”
Seeing the trending search content, Pei Huaixue felt dizzy. His legs went weak, and he nearly collapsed onto the ground.
Fortunately, Xu Ran quickly supported him. “Xiaoxue, are you alright?”
Pei Huaixue’s body trembled violently. The moment he learned Gu Minghe was in trouble, his heart felt as if it had been torn by the wind, leaving a huge, whistling, and utterly hollow gap.
He ignored the strange look in Xu Ran’s eyes and urgently said, “I’m sorry, I have to leave now. I can’t continue shopping with you.”
He released Xu Ran’s hand and stumbled away, his retreating figure looking incredibly fragile and helpless.
Xu Ran was stunned. “Is Xiaoxue a fan of Gu Minghe? Why such a strong reaction to his car accident?”
Pei Huaixue didn’t know how he managed to get home. He grabbed his ID card, quickly packed a few items of clothing, took nothing else, booked the soonest flight, and drove to the airport.
Gu Minghe was filming in Yuncheng. Even flying from Lancheng would take three to four hours.
During these few short hours, his mind was a mess. He thought about many things. What should he do if Gu Minghe really didn’t make it?
Without Gu Minghe, what meaning would life have?
Pei Huaixue clenched his hands, trembling uncontrollably.
His abnormal reaction drew the attention of the flight attendant. “Sir, are you alright? Are you feeling unwell?”
Pei Huaixue was pale, his lips bloodless, and he kept shaking, as if he had suffered a tremendous shock. His eyes were unfocused. When he heard the flight attendant’s question, he merely shook his head blankly, then continued to stare at a spot, muttering something under his breath.
“Did I hurt Minghe?”
“029, is Minghe in trouble because I didn’t complete the mission in time?”
However, no matter how he called out, 029, who usually chirped and urged him to complete tasks quickly, seemed to have vanished and did not appear.
Pei Huaixue grew increasingly desperate.
He forced himself to calm down, closing his eyes to stop the wild thoughts, but the moment he closed them, he saw Gu Minghe lying in a pool of blood, lifeless—a terrifying and devastating image.
…
Three and a half hours later, the plane landed on time.
Pei Huaixue rushed out of the airport and took a taxi to the hospital.
On the way, he had already contacted Gu Minghe’s manager, Cheng Chen. Upon arriving at the hospital, he headed straight for the ward.
“Mr. Pei, over here!”
Cheng Chen was already waiting for him.
Looking at the anxious Pei Huaixue who had rushed over, Cheng Chen said, “Don’t worry. Minghe isn’t badly hurt. He just fractured his leg and has a slight concussion. The staff members were injured more severely than him, but thankfully, none of them are in life-threatening danger. I was too busy earlier to inform the reporters, but I’ll have someone release a statement soon to reassure everyone.”
Hearing Cheng Chen’s words, Pei Huaixue’s complexion did not improve.
He bypassed Cheng Chen and walked into the ward. It wasn’t until he saw Gu Minghe lying on the bed, his head and leg wrapped in bandages, sleeping soundly, that his tense body finally relaxed. His legs felt so weak he nearly collapsed.
The eyes that had been fighting back tears finally turned red the moment he saw Gu Minghe safe.
[Beep beep beep—]
029, which had been offline for most of the day, finally reappeared in his mind.
However, its appearance did not comfort Pei Huaixue; instead, it brought bad news.
[Host, this is bad. The World Consciousness detected that Gu Minghe’s existence caused a deviation in the plot, so it issued a warning to him. Today’s car accident was not an accident; it was the work of the World Consciousness.]
Pei Huaixue froze, remaining silent, listening quietly as 029 continued.
[And the World Consciousness almost discovered my existence. Luckily, I ran fast. If it had caught me, I wouldn’t be able to continue binding to you, Host.]
029 sounded terrified.
Pei Huaixue realized that 029’s earlier disappearance was also due to the World Consciousness.
After a long while, he asked blankly, “029, if I complete the mission properly, will Gu Minghe be safe?”
Never had Pei Huaixue regretted anything more. He regretted that even though he knew Gu Minghe would be in danger, he had confidently dismissed 029’s warnings as alarmist talk. He hadn’t taken 029 seriously, performing tasks haphazardly and procrastinating whenever possible.
It wasn’t until Gu Minghe was actually hurt that he realized he had made a mistake, a huge mistake.
He regretted not completing the mission properly during the hot spring trip, regretted always being perfunctory with 029, and regretted putting Gu Minghe in such a dangerous situation.
“If I try hard now, is there still a chance to save everything?”
He asked repeatedly, desperate for a positive answer.
[Host, it’s not too late starting now!]
[Host, you must believe you can do it!]
029 continued to cheer him on.
[However, I suggest, Host, that you should divorce Gu Minghe first. According to the original plot, you and Gu Minghe were only friends and never reached the stage of marriage. Your marriage is the biggest deviation from the plot. Only by divorcing can the plot get back on track, and Gu Minghe will have no reason to stop you from completing the missions. This is better for everyone.]
“Di-vorce?”
Hearing the word, Pei Huaixue felt a sense of unfamiliarity.
When he married Gu Minghe, he never considered divorce.
This young man, who had been by his side since childhood, had participated in every important stage of his life. Their marriage was a natural progression. Pei Huaixue did not want to leave him.
He couldn’t imagine how he would survive without Gu Minghe by his side.
He hated why he had to live in a novel, and why he had to be a damned vicious supporting character. Why couldn’t he and Gu Minghe be the protagonists? Why was it so difficult for the two of them to stay together?
Tears streamed down his cheeks. Pei Huaixue sat by the hospital bed, holding Gu Minghe’s hand, letting the tears soak his entire face. The person who usually wiped away his tears was now unconscious and hadn’t woken up.
“Gu Minghe, don’t blame me when you wake up, and don’t hate me, okay?” Pei Huaixue pressed his small face against Gu Minghe’s large palm, crying pitifully. “You love me so much, you’ll forgive me, won’t you?”
On the bed, Gu Minghe’s eyelashes fluttered slightly.
–
Because the studio staff reported Gu Minghe’s safety online, the fans were finally relieved about his car accident.
Gu Yanchen also rushed to Yuncheng that evening.
Pei Huaixue went downstairs to meet him. When the two figures appeared together, the paparazzi staking out the hospital entrance became excited and quickly pressed their shutters.
They had originally intended to photograph Gu Minghe, but the hospital security was too tight for them to sneak in.
Instead, they managed to capture this unexpected scoop.
Soon, the rumors surrounding Gu Yanchen and Pei Huaixue stirred up a new wave of discussion online.
@PaparazzoXiaoHua: Recently, Film Emperor Gu Minghe was hospitalized due to a car accident. His Elder Brother, Gu Corporation CEO Gu Yanchen, rushed over overnight to visit, accompanied by his rumored boyfriend, Pei Huaixue.
Pei Huaixue accompanying CEO Gu Yanchen to visit his injured younger uncle—does this mean Pei Huaixue has received approval from the Gu family and is about to marry into the Wealthy Family?
-Oh my god, I thought Pei Huaixue was just clinging to Gu Yanchen and maliciously hyping things up, but they’ve already progressed to meeting the family?
-That’s Gu Yanchen’s biological younger brother. The fact that Pei Huaixue could accompany him to visit means his status is already that of the official boyfriend!
-Gu Yanchen is a scumbag! Where does this leave Su Jin?!
-Is Pei Huaixue about to become Gu Minghe’s sister-in-law? I’m jealous!
-Pah! Pei Huaixue clearly clung to him and forced his way along, and he even found paparazzi to take these ambiguous photos. Gu Minghe is still recovering, and he’s already feeding off the tragedy. How shameless!
-Su Jin, hurry up! If you don’t come soon, your CEO Gu will be snatched away by that little fox spirit!
The internet immediately erupted in discussion, with some watching the drama and others hurling insults.
Pei Huaixue’s mind was also constantly ringing with the System’s notifications about gaining Points.
However, at this moment, he was in no mood to care.
He took a damp towel and carefully wiped Gu Minghe’s body.
Gu Minghe had been asleep for a whole day, and it was unknown when he would wake up.
After Gu Yanchen came to see him, he sat for a while and then left in a hurry, leaving Pei Huaixue alone in the ward to accompany Gu Minghe.
Pei Huaixue didn’t feel tired.
When Gu Minghe’s assistant offered to take over, he refused.
He insisted on doing everything himself.
His hands, which had been delicately pampered, were now clumsily learning to care for someone. His movements were unfamiliar; he nearly ruined the hospital gown while unbuttoning it, yet the wiping motion was very gentle, afraid of hurting the patient.
Just as he finished wiping everything and his hands were about to leave the broad chest, suddenly, a large hand grabbed him forcefully, pulling his wet palm down toward the heart—
Pei Huaixue’s eyes widened.
On the hospital bed, Gu Minghe had woken up at some point. He opened his eyes and teased, “Wife, why are you taking advantage of me while I’m injured?”
Gu Minghe intended to tease his delicate, silly wife, but as soon as the words left his mouth, Pei Huaixue—who usually got angry, blushed, and ignored him—just stared blankly.
He blinked lightly, and hot tears fell like broken strings of pearls.
His eyes were terribly red, as if he had been crying for a long time, and his nose was also red, making him look utterly pitiful.
Gu Minghe’s heart suddenly ached. He quickly pulled the person into his arms and gently coaxed, “Baby, I was wrong. I won’t tease you anymore. Don’t cry…”
Pei Huaixue, however, cried even harder.
Gu Minghe raised his hand, pinched Pei Huaixue’s chin, and covered those soft lips, sucking hard until he saw the person in his arms turn a faint pink all over. Only then did he release him.
Pei Huaixue’s eyes were still brimming with tears, but his lips were red and swollen from the kissing. His thin skin looked abused, sensitive enough to tremble at a touch.
This version of Pei Huaixue was the most enticing.
Gu Minghe’s Adam’s apple bobbed. He wanted to tease his beautiful wife some more.
But then Pei Huaixue opened his tear-filled eyes and said coldly, “Gu Minghe, let’s get a divorce.”
