After rebirth, the paranoid boss dotes on her

When Gu Jingzhan heard this, his brows slightly frowned, his eyes became deep, revealing a bit of confusion and doubt.

"Previous life?" He repeated the two words softly.

"Yeah." Xiang Wanqiao's voice was a little heavy and her tone was muffled. "You may not believe it, but..."

Gu Jingzhan didn't wait for her to continue, and answered firmly: "I believe it."

If that was true, then everything would make sense.

Xiang Wanqiao, who once hated him so much, suddenly no longer hated him, and there were some emotions in her eyes that he could not understand.

Xiang Wanqiao, who had always wanted to escape from him and even attempted suicide by cutting her wrists in order to divorce him, suddenly changed her mind and said she wanted to be with him after he took the initiative to file for divorce.

Xiang Wanqiao, who once loved Xiao Xuan'an deeply, now had nothing but hatred in her eyes when she saw Xiao Xuan'an.

Everything changed the day Xiang Wanqiao woke up in the hospital.

This made him confused and suspicious.

Later, she told him that she had a very long and terrifying dream while she was unconscious from losing too much blood.

It turns out that it was not a dream.

So, is her love for him genuine, or does it come from the guilt she felt towards him in her past life?

She was willing to stay with him in this life because she had done many things that were unfair to him in her previous life...

It's not about loving him, it's just to make up for it.

When she feels that she has made amends enough and no longer owes him anything, will she leave him?

Gu Jingzhan's pair of dark eyes were unfathomable. Such thoughts kept lingering in his mind, making him lose confidence in an instant.

He closed his eyes, as if he was holding back something, and said in a hoarse voice: "I believe you. I believe everything you say."

Xiang Wanqiao was a little surprised: "Do you really...believe it?"

Gu Jingzhan hummed lightly, stroking her soft hair with his palm, trying hard to control his inner uneasiness and make his voice sound steady.

He said, "Tell me about what happened in your previous life."

Xiang Wanqiao lowered her eyes, recalling the past that she didn't want to touch, and her soft voice was tainted with an indescribable sadness.

"In my previous life, Xiao Xuan and Lu Siwei had evil intentions and wanted to seize my Xiang family's assets and Xiang Group. They teamed up to cause a car accident, in which my parents died."

At this point, Xiang Wanqiao's voice trembled slightly, and a hint of pain and regret flashed in her eyes.

She took a deep breath and continued, "Afterwards, Xiao Xuan fabricated evidence and pinned the blame for the car accident on you. At the time, I was blinded by him and mistakenly thought that you were the one who killed my parents, so I hated you so much..."

Gu Jingzhan listened quietly and said nothing.

There was not much expression on his face, and his lips were pressed into a cold and hard straight line, as if he was trying hard to suppress his inner emotions.

Xiang Wanqiao calmed down and continued, "I listened to their instigation, pretended to be obedient, and deliberately tried to please you so that you would let down your guard against me. In this way, I stole the confidential documents of the Gu Group, and finally sent you to prison with my own hands."

She bit her trembling lower lip, tears falling again, full of regret and self-blame: "I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."

Gu Jingzhan lowered his eyelids, and the emotions in his eyes were unclear.

His hand gently stroked her back, his tone unusually calm: "And then?"

Xiang Wanqiao sobbed twice and choked up as she spoke: "After the plan succeeded, they knocked me out and threw me into that dark cage. Every day when I was almost dying, they tortured me with drugs to keep me alive."

Her hands were tightly grasping the collar of Gu Jingzhan's suit jacket, her eyes were closed, and tears were streaming down her pale cheeks.

"Finally, they ... filled the warehouse with gasoline, set it on fire, and burned me to death."

When Gu Jingzhan listened, he felt as if his heart was hit by a huge rock, and the pain was so severe that he could hardly breathe.

He didn't even dare to imagine how desperate and helpless Xiang Wanqiao was in her previous life at that moment.

Being consumed alive by a raging fire must be an indescribable pain.

Gu Jingzhan couldn't help but blushing, and his low voice trembled a little, "Does it hurt?"

"Yeah, it hurts." Xiang Wanqiao responded softly.

In fact, at that time, she only felt a pain in her heart, so much so that she had already ignored the pain of being burned by the fire.

Gu Jingzhan tightened his arms around her, his heart was filled with turmoil like a violent storm that took a long time to calm down.

He took a deep breath and asked her again: "What about me? Why couldn't I save you?"

"Because..." Xiang Wanqiao's voice was so low that it was almost inaudible, "You were poisoned in prison, and you died not long after."

Gu Jingzhan clenched his teeth, his eyes turned scarlet instantly, and murderous intent was about to burst out.

A few moments.

Xiang Wanqiao raised her head and looked at him with her red eyes.

"Ah Zhan, I'm sorry. It was all my fault in my previous life. I trusted the wrong people with ulterior motives and did many things to hurt you. I..."

Before she could finish her words, Gu Jingzhan's lips pressed directly against hers, sealing her mouth with his.

Xiang Wanqiao was stunned for a moment, then naturally wrapped her arms around his neck and actively responded to his kiss.

Gu Jingzhan stroked the back of her slender neck with his palm, holding it neither lightly nor heavily, and slowly deepened the kiss.

After a long time, he slowly released her lips, and gently wiped the tears from her face with his cool fingertips.

"Don't say sorry, I did it willingly."

Yes!

No matter in the past life or this life, he was willing to bow his head and submit to her.

In an instant, Xiang Wanqiao's eyes were filled with tears again.

She asked, "Why? Just because I saved you when I was a kid?"

Gu Jingzhan smiled and said softly, "You saved my life. Even if you take it back, I won't have any complaints."

He sighed softly, with self-blame and regret, and said: "I only blame myself for not being able to protect you, causing you to end up like that in your previous life."

"Gu Jingzhan..."

"Qiao Qiao, I just want to know now, are you with me now just to make up for it?"

Gu Jingzhan probed cautiously, his deep eyes revealing an unconcealable nervousness.

"Maybe at the beginning, but now..." Xiang Wanqiao put her palm on his face and gently stroked it, "I'm sure, it's because I love you."

Gu Jingzhan's eyes suddenly brightened, and his tense heart finally relaxed.

Thanks to God's mercy, he sent her back to him, so that he has a Xiang Wanqiao who loves and cherishes him.

"Gu Jingzhan, will you... forgive me?" Xiang Wanqiao asked with a guilty and anxious look on her face, "Forgive me for all the harm I have done to you in my previous life."

Gu Jingzhan did not answer her question immediately, but just stared at her quietly.

After a moment of silence, he said, "No."

Xiang Wanqiao's heart sank suddenly, and she lowered her head slightly, "I..."

"Not only will I not forgive you, I will punish you."

Gu Jingzhan reached out and pinched her chin, forcing her to look up at him again.

"I'm going to punish you by making you stay by my side for the rest of your life. You're not allowed to leave me again."

Xiang Wanqiao curled up the corners of her mouth, revealing a relieved smile, and agreed: "Okay, I am willing to accept the punishment."

Gu Jingzhan took her back into his arms, put his thin lips close to her ear, and whispered softly: "Leave the rest to me, I'll take care of it."

Xiang Wanqiao naturally knew what he was going to do.

She nodded, "Okay."

Gu Jingzhan slightly turned his eyes and looked through the car window at the dilapidated warehouse. His smile disappeared, and his narrow eyes narrowed slightly, exuding an aura that chilled him to the bone.
