Chapter 96

Everyone.

Every single mouth.

It seemed as if they were all cursing her, all trying to destroy her: "Junior sister Gu stood up for her before, and now she\'s been targeted by Fu Di\'s human-trafficking parents! Who would dare to help her again?"

"I can\'t believe she\'s so ungrateful. We shouldn\'t have felt sorry for her in the first place! She deserves to be dragged back to the mountains. I\'m so angry!"

"I\'m calling my aunt right now to cancel her part-time job. She doesn\'t deserve it!"

"My dad\'s company won\'t let her intern there either. It\'s not her fault her parents are human traffickers, but it is her fault for letting Junior sister Gu fall into this hellhole just to save herself..."

Fu Di collapsed onto the ground, overwhelmed with despair.

She stared blankly in the direction Gu Sang had left, not even understanding why, why she had lost everything again.

She buried her head in her knees, crying her heart out.

It\'s ruined!

Everything is ruined!

Friendships, part-time jobs, capabilities, reputation—everything is gone! She can\'t even apply for civil service jobs anymore!

From now on, no one will ever help her again!

"Ding!"

"Incoming connection from ancient times. Accept the connection?"

Suddenly hearing the system\'s prompt, Gu Sang, who had already returned home from school, was a bit surprised.

What surprised Gu Sang even more was that the person connecting this time was actually Pei Changying!

On the screen, Pei Changying wasn\'t in his sleeping palace but had come alone to Xuyang Palace.

He had even worn the purple robe he had on when they first met, his gaze complex and profound as he looked at Gu Sang, as if he had a thousand words to say.

Gu Sang: "???"

Since Gu Sang had been rescued, Pei Changying had fallen into an almost possessed silence.

These past few days, not only had he not watched the livestream, but he had also shut himself in his sleeping palace, not letting anyone near him.

Now, in front of her.

Pei Changying opened his mouth, his voice hoarse and deep: "Sangsang, I\'m sorry."

Gu Sang: "???" Are you sick?

"I thought seeing you in distress would make me feel vengeful, but it didn\'t. This experience scared me and made me truly understand my own heart."

Gu Sang\'s face remained cold: "......."

Pei Changying spoke with a melancholic and self-reproachful tone: "Sangsang, I didn\'t understand before. Why wouldn\'t you just obey my every whim? Why couldn\'t you be like those other women who treat their husbands as their heaven? To prove this, I deliberately neglected you, and even gave the position of second consort I promised you to Gu Qingrou, just to make you submit."

"But I don\'t love her. I was just throwing a tantrum with you."

"I was waiting for you to admit you were wrong. As long as you apologized, the position would still be yours!"

"But you\'d rather die than apologize to me..."

"I thought I hated and resented you, but it wasn\'t until after this ordeal that I realized, you are you—vibrant and radiant. If you changed to be like the women in the palace, you wouldn\'t be you anymore."

"Sangsang, I was wrong. Come back to my side."

Faced with Pei Changying\'s remorse and heartfelt apology,

Gu Sang felt utterly unmoved, even a bit nauseous.

Right in front of Pei Changying, Gu Sang ran to the trash can and retched a few times: "Ugh—"

"Ugh! Pei Changying, what makes you think that a woman you\'ve hurt a thousand times over would forgive you just because of a few words?"

"After torturing her heart, mind, and life, you suddenly come to your senses, turn back, apologize, and everything\'s supposed to be smoothed over, and we live happily ever after?"

"You\'re such a scumbag!"

"There are so many idioms in modern times, yet I can\'t find a single word to describe how despicable you are!!"

Pei Changying\'s deep, tender confession and apology today,

He thought even the heavens would be moved!

Why else would the heavens give him a chance to communicate privately with Gu Sang?

But Pei Changying hadn\'t expected Gu Sang to be so merciless, not only refusing to forgive him or be moved, but also cursing him with disgust, dragging him through the mud!

Pei Changying clenched his fingers tightly, his heart pierced and bleeding, aching and powerless: "You truly won\'t forgive me?"

"Sangsang."

"Haven\'t you noticed how I\'m addressing you today? I, the emperor and ruler of all, personally apologize to you, referring to myself as \'I.\' Which emperor in this world could be as sincere as me?"

Gu Sang: Oh, yes, yes, what a great honor!

"Don\'t joke around, Sangsang. I truly love you. Without you, what\'s the point of conquering the world? You mean more to me than the entire realm!"

Pei Changying\'s gaze carried genuine sincerity and pleading, his posture lowered significantly, his eyes almost melting with deep affection.

Seven years of mutual support!

Seven years of feelings!

He thought that at least Gu Sang had him in her heart, even though she kept saying it was just a task. But Pei Changying believed in his own charm!

Yet what came next disappointed him again—

Gu Sang smiled.

Seeing her smile, Pei Changying smiled too.

Then Gu Sang said, still smiling: "Really? I truly mean more to you than the entire realm?"

Pei Changying: "Of course!"

"Well then!"

"Sangsang, really? You\'re truly willing to come back to my side? I..."

"Then abdicate the throne to Pei Weiqi. Don\'t you love me more? Give up the throne, let Pei Weiqi rule, and I\'ll forgive you!"

Pei Changying\'s head buzzed.

He stared at Gu Sang, realizing she wasn\'t joking!

In an instant.

Rage and humiliation swept through his entire body. Pei Changying was so angry his blood almost congealed. He had apologized and pleaded for reconciliation with such genuine sincerity.

Yet Gu Sang—!!

"You—" Pei Changying trembled with fury, but he quickly took a deep breath, pulling back his rationality.

His gaze passed through the screen, falling on a photo hanging on the wall.

It was a high school photo of Gu Sang and her grandmother. In the picture, her grandmother smiled kindly, her eyes full of love for her granddaughter.

Gu Sang cared about her grandmother more than anyone...

Pei Changying spoke again, his voice thick with emotion: "Sangsang, if your grandmother were watching from heaven, she wouldn\'t want to see you grow old alone. You—"

"Get out! If you dare mention my grandmother again, I\'ll have Weiqi tear your mouth apart!"

"Pei Changying! Drop that desperate act of yours, pretending you can\'t live without me. It won\'t sway me! I\'m not one for those \'devoted wife\' storylines. What I want is the world!"

*Ding! Connection ended!*

Gu Sang endured the nausea and chatted with Pei Changying for five minutes, hoping to extract some information from him. Instead, all she got was an endless stream of "I love you more than the world."

Pah! Rubbish!

Who could be foolish enough to believe that a man in ancient times would give up the world for a woman?

Even romance novels wouldn\'t dare to write such a plot. Gu Sang found it both satirical and laughable. All this talk of love and affection, of repentance and turning back: none of it matters more than self-interest!
