Marrying a Disabled Man

"AHHHH!!"

Song Qingli was violently thrown onto the bed and the mattress bounced a few times along with her. Before she could react, a black shadow enveloped her and her wrists were grabbed by the man with one hand and placed above her head.

 She looked at the man in front of her in horror!

 "Your ... your legs are crippled, aren't they?" The young girl lowered her eyes and looked at the man's strong legs that were pressing against her.

 Wasn't he half-paralyzed? How did he... stand up all of a sudden?!

 The man didn't say a word and just stared at her coldly.

Her almond-shaped face was pale and her body was trembling. Her black short skirt barely covered her legs.

"Did he touch you?" Gu Zechuan's dark eyes were filled with suppressed anger. He pinched the girl's chin and his fingers rubbed her cherry lips.

Song Qingli struggled for a while. After guessing why he was mad at her, she couldn't help but laugh coldly. "Weren't you the one who asked me to find another man?"

The man lowered his eyes and leaned over to bite her lips.

"Hissss– –"

That was not a kiss but a bite instead. He wanted to tear her apart and eat her up.

 He tightened his grip around the girl's soft waist and tore off the clothes that were getting in his way. His eyes were now filled with anger and lust.

Song Qingli broke free and placed her hand in front of her chest. There was a look of broken hope in her eyes and she didn't even notice that her chin was trembling. She only managed to speak in extreme grief and anger, "Gu Zechuan, I'm just a substitute. Who are you putting on this act for?"

"Are you addicted to acting? It's such a pity that Song Zhiya isn't here. She didn't get to witness your acting skills."

Gu Zechuan felt as if his heart was being squeezed hard. The pain was suffocating as he asked, "Who did you hear that from?"

Song Qingli laughed softly. She lowered her eyes to hide the tears in her eyes and pretended to be cold. "I'm just a weapon you're using to provoke Song Zhiya. A tool, a chess piece. Gu Zechuan, how long do you think you can lie to me? You... what right do you have to order me around?"

 "No. That's not..."

 "I hate you."

Gu Zechuan's body stiffened. He gritted his teeth as his chest heaved up and down. He never thought that these words would turn a calm man like him crazy.

Then, the young girl felt pain in her shoulder. She closed her mouth tightly and endured it. She didn't want to cry in front of him. She didn't want to show her weakness to him.

There was a teary young girl that filled the dark pupils of the man with sweet blood on his lips. He lowered his head and gently rubbed his head against her ears. He interlocked his fingers with hers and said in a cold voice, "You are not allowed to hate me."

Then, he sealed the girl's lips once again. They were tightly locked.

Song Qingli's pupils contracted. She did not expect that the other path she had chosen after her rebirth would lead her to jump into another abyss.

 ----

6 months ago, at the central hospital of City A.

Song Qingli committed suicide by cutting her own wrist and was sent to the hospital.

The drizzling rain of early spring dampened the air, dark clouds rolled and blocked the stars and moon. The thin quilt and pillows that smelled like disinfectant made the people feel depressed and uneasy.

When Song Qingli woke up from the hospital bed, her entire mind was a mess. Her black hair was stained with sweat and they were stuck to her face and neck. Her unfocused eyes stared at the ceiling and there were no shades of liveliness on her pale face. She could not exert any strength at all and the cold sweat from her back soaked the sheets.

She was still in the midst of the shock of the car accident that happened in her previous life. The car's brakes had failed and the car rushed out of the guardrails. It spun in the air countless times before it went down the mountain. Her life slowly came to an end with the sound of her crying for help.

Song Qingli's brain was so numb that she could not control the movement of her limbs. So, she took a few deep breaths. There was no pain from her internal organs being ruptured. Other than a slight pain in her wrist, her body was as good as new.

The voices of Father Song and Uncle Song came from outside the door.

"Now that we've offended the Gu family, there is no place for us here in City A. Why don't we sell the company and I'll bring Qingli overseas?"

"But, the Gu family is very powerful. Where can you escape to? "

"Then, what should we do? Allowing Qingli to marry that paralyzed man would be equivalent to her being a widow for the rest of her life?!"

The young girl was stunned. This familiar scene overlapped with her memory. She was….this was a rebirth!

Song Qingli could feel her heart racing. She had actually returned to the days before she was married to Gu Zechuan.

She and her father had not escaped the country.

The money from selling the company has not been taken away by her uncle. Her family did not go bankrupt and her father didn't go missing. Song Qingli did not die from falling off the mountain due to faulty brakes.

There was still room for redemption.

The violent spring rain knocked on the glass and a thunderclap cut through the clouds which pulled back the young girl's heavy thoughts.

The incandescent lights in the hospital corridor were glaring. Father Song's hair had turned a lot whiter overnight and the wrinkles on his forehead deepened. He thought about it for the whole night and decided that he couldn't ruin his daughter's future with his own hands.

The man hesitated for a while before taking out his phone. He wanted to sell the company and take the money with him so that they could escape overseas. Suddenly, a slender figure appeared beside him. A fair hand with a piece of gauze wrapped around it crossed in front of the phone. The girl's voice was weak and her eyes were filled with hot tears. "Dad, I'm willing to get married."

Her father was shocked for a long time. His eyes turned watery and he opened his mouth to say something but stopped. He only had one daughter. She had just lost her mother last year and now she had to marry a disabled man who was half-paralyzed.

As he thought about it, he felt guilty.

Since she was young, Father Song had never forced anything upon his daughter. This was the very first time.

Father Song was speechless. He could only hug Song Qingli tightly and said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry that I'm so useless."

The young girl's heart was filled with sorrow but the truth was that this was not his fault.

Furthermore, she didn't blame him. Song Qingli was actually very fortunate to have such a father. In her previous life, he chose to be impulsive. The five years of being on a chase had already exhausted them and in the end, they couldn't avoid the tragic ending.

 After the rebirth, Song Qingli didn't want her father to have to work so hard at an age when he should be enjoying life.

Wasn't it just marrying a disabled person who was half paralyzed?

It was better than losing her life.

Song Qingli had memories from two lives and could predict the future for the next 5 years. Although it wasn't complete, it was still enough to convince herself to get married to Gu Zechuan.

 She clearly remembered that Gu Zechuan was not as weak as he looked.

In less than five years, he didn't only send his older brother, Gu Zean, to prison, but he also forced President Gu to abdicate his position and eliminate his dissidents. This allowed Gu Zechuan to secure his position as the president of the Gu Corporates. He even led the corporation to become the top 500 in the world.

Why would she escape from this instead of grabbing onto something so good?! 

She stood in front of the window for the entire night. She watched the rain stop, saw the moon set and the sun rose. The morning light pierced through the thin clouds, shining on the leaves and making them shimmer with golden light. The warm light slowly climbed up the young girl's face.

The young girl was charming. She looked cute but she had a pair of big fox eyes, which balanced out the childishness. Song Qingli was dressed in an apricot-colored long dress and a thin knitted sweater. She had a beautiful face with a drop-dead figure. She was beautiful wherever she stood.

She knew that her marriage to Gu Zechuan may be a little rushed but she didn't think it would happen so quickly.

The next day, when the sky turned bright, Song Qingli had just checked out of the hospital with a medium-sized bag when she saw a black Lincoln parked at the entrance. There was a young man, full of smiles, that stood beside the car. His hair was combed to the side, wearing a black suit and silver-rimmed glasses. He looked gentle and his voice was smooth like water flowing down the stream.

"Greetings, I am the special assistant of the second young master Gu. My name is Xu Hao. I am here today to take Miss Song to the Gu Gardens."

Even without any makeup, the young girl still had a desolate charm. The corners of her limpid eyes were slightly upturned and there was a hint of an amorous feeling in them that were similar to the girls from the Jiangnan Region. Song Qingli laughed coldly. "Is Gu Zechuan dying soon? Why is he in a rush to marry me?"

The smile on Xu Hao's face cracked like ice. He never thought that this seemingly soft little girl would have such a vicious tongue. The man pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose and said, "Uh ... our second young master has been missing you day and night. He can't stop thinking about marrying you."

He was full of crap.

Song Qingli walked toward him with a smile on her face. She threw her bag into Xu Hao's arms and said, "Then, I'll have to trouble you with carrying my bag."

Xu Hao rubbed his stomach and exhaled. This... this girl definitely came with ill intentions.

The young girl got into the car. She wanted to see this second young master of the Gu family, Gu Zechuan, who had been pestering her like a vicious dog for five years in her past life. Was he indeed a man deep in love or was it all just an act?
