Chapter 767: Chapter 765 Really Is Him_1

After tossing and turning all night, Cheng Youyou was utterly exhausted. Her eyelids kept fighting each other as she could not help but yawn, and out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of the man still standing in the hospital room.

"Hey, get out, I want to sleep!" she glared at him.

Although he had brought her to the hospital, she would have been grateful to him if his help had come without conditions, but remembering the demand he had made when she was vulnerable made the little woman explode with anger, and she had no intentions of being polite to him.

Lu Yichuan did not quarrel with her and strode out with long steps: "Rest well."

After such an ordeal, it was indeed time for her to get some proper rest.

Cheng Youyou thought she would have had to tangle with him for a bit longer, but was surprised that he agreed so easily.

Once he had completely left, Cheng Youyou quickly propped up her weary body to get out of bed and lock the door, then placed a cup on the doorknob.

After all this, Cheng Youyou finally heaved a sigh of relief, hugging herself into a defensive sleep.

She was so very tired that she soon fell into a deep sleep.

Then, she had a dream.

It was a long dream, and it was also incredibly terrifying.

Hadn’t she pretended to agree to that scoundrel’s demand—to be his woman?

In the dream, after waking up in the hospital, she took the opportunity to escape while the scoundrel was not paying attention, thinking that she could sever all ties with this man and have nothing to do with him ever again.

But unexpectedly, the scoundrel found her, took her by force despite her engagement to another man, and even forced himself upon her.

She tried to run away from him several times, but each time she was caught and taken back. Finally, he lost his patience playing cat and mouse and forcibly kept her—a luxurious villa just for her.

It was said to have been built with a hefty sum specifically for her.

But how could she be content with being kept by him? So, on the advice of her half-sister, she acted up every day, infuriating the scoundrel to no end.

Even in order to make him divorce her, she ran to the old house to trouble her mother, Xia Ningxing, hoping to disgust her and eventually help herself get divorced from Lu Yichuan.

But Xia Ningxing was a tough one to deal with. Not only did Cheng Youyou not gain any advantage, but she was also humiliated without a single curse word being thrown at her.

Moreover, in the dream, she drank the sterility pill her sister had given her and could no longer have children.

Even so, the man still had no intention of letting her go, patiently enduring her tantrums.

Latter on, the man saw how she made a mess of herself and softened his heart, agreeing to let her go.

After gaining her freedom, she thought a beautiful life was finally beginning.

But she had not expected that it was the start of a tragedy.

It turned out her fiancé had already become her sister’s lover, and the reason he had been with her was not because of love, but for the inheritance from her grandfather and for her kidney.

Her kidney matched that of his brother who was suffering from uremia.

And her sister had meticulously "helped" her to divorce Lu Yichuan out of jealousy.

After the divorce, she went to seduce Lu Yichuan, aspiring to become the envied Mrs. Lu.

Unfortunately, Lu Yichuan didn’t even give her a second glance, and he severely humiliated her.

In a fit of rage, her sister took out all her anger on Cheng Youyou.

She not only conspired with Cheng Youyou’s fiancé to lure her to an abandoned warehouse but also removed her kidney without anesthesia.

The sharp, cold blade sliced through layer after layer of skin, spattering blood all over the place.

Cheng Youyou saw herself screaming agonizingly, nearly lifting the roof, the echoes unceasing.

There was no more mournful sound in the world.

After taking her kidney, the despicable couple didn’t stop there; they were preparing to burn her alive.

At that moment, her step-sister fully tore off her mask of gentleness, and the once delicate and pretty face was twisted with ferocity. Clutching Cheng Youyou’s neck, she growled jealously, "What’s so good about you, you little slut? After making so many stupid mistakes, you still have Mr. Lu pining for you!"

"Now, go to your death! Let’s see if Mr. Lu can still forget about you!"

Her eyes were extremely venomous as she tossed the lighter onto the gasoline-soaked ground.

Flames immediately shot up.

A sea of fire enveloped the air, the smoky, acrid scent choking and causing nonstop coughing, tears streaming down relentlessly.

She was tied down, unable to move an inch, and could only watch as the fire completely surrounded her.

She instinctively wanted to cry out for help, but the sound reached her lips and then she swallowed it back down her throat.

Not to mention the fire was too big to save her, but even if she were rescued, she had already become such a ghastly sight, nothing more than a useless person.

Why drag others down with her?

Maybe it was better to just die.

With a forlorn expression, she closed her eyes, crying tears of blood.

At this moment, she realized how happy she had been during the days left to her by Lu Yichuan, how well that man had treated her.

But due to her own foolishness, she ended up like this.

She deserved it!

She really did!

She shed tears of regret and despair.

Perhaps it was a pre-death hallucination, but she thought she heard his voice near her ear—

And at that critical moment, he came.

"Youyou!"

"Youyou!"

He screamed her name in terror, seeing the gaping hole in her belly that almost made him stumble and fall.

Where was her left kidney?

Lu Yichuan trembled, and without a moment’s hesitation, he rushed toward her recklessly.

As if he couldn’t see the raging inferno at all.

She snapped out of her trance, her eyes widening in shock as she screamed with all her might, "Lu Yichuan, don’t come here, get out! Get out!"

Gasoline was everywhere, the fire was too fierce; he wouldn’t be able to save her and would only end up getting himself killed too.

She was already a monstrous sight, hardly looking human; what did it matter if she died?

But he had such a bright future ahead of him, how could it end because of her?

Yet the man didn’t slow his steps at all, seeming blind to the surrounding blaze as he ran toward her.

He said, "Youyou, I’ve been searching for you for so many years, this time, I won’t just stand by and watch you disappear from my life again."

"Searched for me for so many years?" Upon hearing these words, she was dumbfounded, completely stunned, as if something was breaking through the soil in her heart.

He explained with a smile, "Youyou, I’m Lu Yichuan. Remember, when we were kids, you used to insist I be your boyfriend, that Lu Yichuan."

"Remember, you always used to call me Lu Yichuan, ’Yichuan’ as in wearing clothes."

Boom! A thunderbolt struck in Cheng Youyou’s mind out of the blue. She stared at him in shock and disbelief. Under her gaze, indeed, his face gradually merged with the man she had been unable to recall in her heart.

It was him!

It was really him!
