The CEO's Woman

Chapter 397 Husband

Jiang Yue froze when she heard Gideon’s confirmation. Her body became rigid as she felt a gush of coldness in her soul. Like a bucket of cold water was poured all over her being. His words seemed to still echo inside her.

Fu Jin’s death...

Fu Jin’s death...

She lowered her head and closed her eyes, as fear tightly clutched her chest. For the first time ever, Jiang Yue felt so much fear, she was shaking inwardly. She took shallow breaths as she tried to find a way to release the tension inside her. She couldn’t let her emotions overpower her judgment. She needed to use her logic and think rationally.

She couldn’t let her raging emotions muddle her mind...

Fu Jin...

Fu Jin...

Jiang Yue clenched her other hand, her knuckles turning white.

"You don’t have to be so sad... You can always find a new fiancée. Weaknesses are actually life-threatening. They must be taken care of sooner or later." She heard Gideon add. His voice was righteous as if he was a father... giving her some advice.

A piece of silly advice.

"He..." Jiang Yue took a long, deep breath before she continued. "Fu Jin is not my fiancée!" She said, her head still lowered, eyes still closed.

"Oh? Don’t tell me... you broke up?" Gideon mused. "Or... is he already your husband?" His face instantly changed when he realized the meaning of his words.

"He is already your husband?!" It was not a question but more a declaration this time. Gideon’s face then turned into a scowl. How dare Fu Jin marry Jiang Yue without getting the Li Family’s blessing? He was simply courting death!

Jiang Yue did not answer him. She remained silent. Her mind was trying to calculate everything. Her inner self was praying, hoping that Fu Jin was able to escape the attack that Gideon was talking about. He should be safe, right?

Her mind began spinning, as she started thinking about the worst possible outcome of that day.

Jiang Yue immediately shook those thoughts out of her mind. In this kind of situation what if’s and almost were the worst kind of words to describe the outcome. She needed to step up her game and let her mind overcome her raging emotions.

Seeing Jiang Yue’s dark face slowly becoming serene, Wang Ruo heaved a sigh of relief. She could accept if Jiang Yue hated her... or got angry at her... however, seeing Jiang Yue’s broken-hearted face was something that she, her mother, couldn’t take.

She then watched as Jiang Yue lifted her head.

Jiang Yue looked at Gideon... her eyes showed nothing but stillness. Her eyes traveled from Gideon, who was ten feet away on her left, to Simon, who was towering in front of her. Then, once again, she closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "You will regret adding the word ’death’ next to my man’s name," she mumbled before she lifted her head to meet Simon’s intimidating gaze.

Then, she gave him a vicious smile. "Die!"

With one swift movement, a knife sliced into the muscles of Simon’s right forearm. That move surprised the latter a lot, making him motionless for a while. She then took a step back and revealed a six-inch combat knife in her hand.

Simon immediately clutched his arm as he felt his whole forearm getting numb. "What did you put on that knife? You bitch!"

Seeing that, Wang Ruo did not waste any second as she got a hold of her gun and pointed it at Gideon. However, the latter was fast enough to dash towards Wang Ruo, tackling her onto the floor.

At that point, Simon and Jiang Yue were already exchanging some blows with their knives. Jiang Yue might not be an expert when it came to knife combat but her agility was something that Simon could not compare.

"Die!" Gideon shouted as he swung a fist towards Wang Ruo. He might be poisoned, but the medicine that he had taken earlier had already done its job, boosting his strength and agility.

"I’m going to kill you!" Wang Ruo snarled as she stepped out of his attack range before bringing her hand up to defend. However, before she could strike back, she saw how Simon slammed Jiang Yue into the wall, making the latter throw up a mouthful of blood.

"Yue’er!!!"
