Chapter 2 Burned for Three Days
"Chu Yihan, it wasn't you who brought ruin and death upon your family; the real culprit is the Wen Family."
The words from Wen Lixuan set off tumultuous waves in Su Ge's nearly dead heart. She stared intently at him, watching his lips slowly form words, "All these years you fancied me because you thought I saved your life in that fire, but in fact, the one who saved you wasn't me, it was Chu Yihan, whom you've always regarded as your nemesis."
"Always mistaking your enemy for your benefactor, and your benefactor for your enemy, Su Ge, your life has really been pitiful." Bai Jingya also walked over at this time, standing beside Wen Lixuan with a smile, "Haven't you been waiting for Lixuan to marry you? Let me tell you the truth, Lixuan and I have been together for a long time. You've always been nothing more than a pawn used by the Wen Family, Lixuan never liked you."
Wen Lixuan sneered at Su Ge's ashen face, then, slowly pulled the trigger.
Su Ge fell into Chu Yihan's arms.
With her last bit of strength, she clung to his hand and wept, whispering in his ear, "Yihan... I'm sorry... In the next life, I will definitely... repay you..."

Pain...
It felt like her head was about to burst.
There was a scolding voice nearby, sounding very familiar.
"The lady has been burning with fever for three days now, what use are you? If she doesn't wake up today..."
Su Ge struggled to open her eyes, but her eyelids were heavy, no matter how hard she tried, they wouldn't budge, and she frantically reached out to grab the sheets.
Just as she moved slightly, her hand was taken by someone.
It was a warm, strong hand, gripping her gently, so gentle that with just a little more movement, she could slide right out of his palm.
Su Ge dared not move an inch.
Yihan...
The person holding her was Chu Yihan!
This was the same way he had always touched her, each contact cautious and careful, fragile like a thread ready to snap at the slightest strain.
That was because every time he approached her, she repulsed him greatly.
Whenever he touched her, she would curse at him furiously, breaking all valuables in the Chu Family home.
He would sit silently on the sofa with furrowed brows every time, waiting for her to calm down, and only once ensuring she hadn't hurt herself, would he leave the Chu Family home.
After each of her outbursts, he was especially careful with his touches, avoiding contact with her as much as possible.
She remembered that he hadn't touched her for many years.
Such light touches, they were from the early years together with Chu Yihan, right?
No, that's not right, she should have died from a gunshot to the head by Wen Lixuan, shouldn't she?
And Chu Yihan...
Su Ge's body jerked violently.
"Madam is awake, she's awake." Bright sunlight made Su Ge's tears flow uncontrollably, but the doctors were elated, calling out loudly.
Housekeeper Wu came over for a look, his face not showing much joy, but it changed to a smile when he reported to the noble-looking man who had quietly retreated to the side as soon as Su opened her eyes, "Fourth Master, Lady is awake, she's alright."
Except for a few doctors, none of the Chu Family members were genuinely happy in the room.
To the Chu Family, Su Ge was like a living nightmare.
There hadn't been a peaceful day in the Chu Family since her arrival.
She was a walking time bomb, and no one knew when she would explode next.
The Chu Family had thought she was insane, but after several medical examinations, the doctors declared her completely sane, with no sign of mental illness.
Who wouldn't hate a person who likes to act crazy without being sick?
