The Billionaire's Priceless Darling: 33 Days of the CEO's Pursuit - Chapter 101 - Don't Forget Him 1

“Xiao Ai…”

Her name floated on the night breeze, carried by his naturally gentle voice, fragile and fleeting.

Gu Xiaoai was suddenly shoved hard by Yu Qun, causing her to stumble into the alleyway at the corner. The pain felt like her bones were about to shatter, and tears began to fall.

She hadn’t cried when she was hit by the car, but now the tears came.

“Don’t say a word!” Yu Qun warned, glaring at her.

“Xiao Ai!”

Chu Shixiu’s urgent calls echoed persistently.

Gu Xiaoai almost wanted to respond, but the cold wind biting at her wounds silenced her. She was too disheveled…

Too disheveled to speak.

“Shixiu, you’ve had too much to drink,” Liang Nuannuan said, her expression somewhat strained, but she maintained her composure, eyes fixed on the rearview mirror.

Seeing that Chu Shixiu wasn’t listening and seemed ready to push open the car door, Liang Nuannuan accelerated the motorhome, forcing a gentle smile onto her lips. “That wasn’t Gu Xiaoai. You saw wrong. Let’s go back and rest.”

“She is Xiao Ai.” Chu Shixiu leaned out of the car window, but the place was now shrouded in darkness.

Everything seemed like a mirage.

That pale face felt like a figment of his imagination, conjured by his intoxicated mind.

Was it truly an illusion? Was he just missing her too much?

No, it had to be Xiao Ai. He couldn’t be mistaken. Chu Shixiu’s hand pressed against the car window, almost ready to say “stop.”

“Shixiu, will you be by my side this time next year?” Liang Nuannuan suddenly asked with a smile, raising her hand to show the diamond ring on her finger, a clear testament to their engagement.

Liang Nuannuan was a clever woman. She never deliberately tried to displace Gu Xiaoai’s position in Chu Shixiu’s heart, but she knew how to touch the softest part of his soul.

They were engaged.

His hand, pale and graceful, paused on the window, slowly retreating. Chu Shixiu forced a smile, gently promising, “I will, every year.”

The scenery on both sides of the road quickly receded.

Like time itself, fleeting and swift.

That year, a little girl lit a fairy wand on the kindergarten steps, solemnly telling him, “Okay, I’ll be with Ah Xiu every birthday.”

Thinking back, it felt so distant… yet so close.

That year, after returning from vacation, Gu Company declared bankruptcy, the Gu family fell apart, and Gu Xiaoai… vanished. He searched for nine years, waited for nine years.

But even up to his engagement, he hadn’t found her.

Xiao Ai, where are you?

Do you still… remember him?

Please… don’t forget him.
