Her abdomen was rising and falling slightly, though not obviously, but anyone with a discerning eye could tell that she was probably pregnant.

The woman had a beautiful face and exuded elegance in every gesture. She slowly walked into the living room, and when the others saw her, especially Shang Xingxue, his handsome and calm face showed a slight change.

"Yunyun".

The man's voice was low and hoarse, and his tone was concerned.

The woman was Shang Yunyun, who had escaped the villa area after being rescued by Su Miaoyan following the upheaval in Rongcheng.

After learning that her family wanted to use her as a shield, Shang Yunyun listened to Su Miaoyan and fled Rongcheng.

However, the notice had already been issued, making it difficult for her to escape.

She tried to go to the train station, and perhaps because her anxiety was too obvious, she was rescued by a kind man.

The man was none other than Miao Xingxue, the young master of the Miao family.

Miao Xingxue came to Chengdu on a business trip and saw Shang Yunyun, a young woman, all alone. He felt pity for her and gave her some money.

Shang Yunyun was very grateful for this, but adhering to her principles, she told everyone about her identity and everything that had happened to her.

Sometimes, fate plays a cruel joke on you.

Miao Xingxue not only did not look down on Shang Yunyun's identity, but was also moved by her sincerity. Since his younger sister had just gone missing, he wondered if he should take Shang Yunyun back to keep Madam Miao and Miao Tai'an company at home.

Having finally seized the opportunity, Shang Yunyun naturally agreed, and so she went to Yanjing with Miao Xingxue.

On the train to Yanjing, the two happened to be sitting next to each other and started chatting.

During their conversation, Miao Xingxue was surprised to find that the two shared surprisingly similar views.

He also took Shang Yunyun to the transit station to wash up and get dressed, and found that she not only had a great temperament, but also a very pure and innocent appearance.

However, considering the other person's family background, this is normal.

The two encountered many things on the train. Shang Yunyun was very grateful to Miao Xingxue. When asked how old he was, Miao Xingxue smiled and replied that he was thirty-two.

Thirty-two, that's a full ten years older than her.

That's quite normal, though. The man has a refined and scholarly air about him and looks very composed; he must have come from a middle-class family.

But after getting off the train, they learned that the man was not only the young master of the famous Miao family in Beijing, but his parents were also very important.

Miao Tai'an and his wife were also surprised when they saw Shang Yunyun.

They initially thought Miao Xingxue had brought his fiancée home, leading to numerous misunderstandings. However, they later learned that the girl was actually brought back by Miao Xingxue to keep them company.

After learning about Shang Yunyun's experiences, he felt great sympathy for her. In addition, his own daughter had been missing for many years, so he decided to keep her at home and raise her.

But who would have thought that as he raised her, Miao Xingxue would fall in love with Shang Yunyun.

Miao Xingxue, who appears to be a calm and composed person, reveals a side of himself that is out of control when facing Shang Yunyun.

For example, when Miao Xingxue saw Shang Yunyun laughing and talking with other men while attending high-class social events, he felt a pang of discomfort in his heart.

The more ascetic someone appears on the surface, the more insane, out of control, and possessive they are inside.

He's never been one to keep things bottled up, so he simply told Shang Yunyun the truth.

Shang Yunyun was initially terrified and directly rejected Miao Xingxue. Miao Xingxue didn't care and gradually won her over, eventually... winning her heart.

Miao Tai'an and his wife were very supportive of their relationship, and after they got married, they had a child not long after.

Today, Shang Yunyun was resting in her room when she heard voices outside. She was woken up and went out.

It turned out that her husband had a sister who had run away from home.

Shang Yunyun didn't say anything, but just smiled gently at Miao Xingxue.

Fearing she might misunderstand, Miao Xingxue immediately explained to her.

"Yunyun, I didn't mean to hide this from you, it's just that it's inconvenient to tell you because we haven't found her yet..."

Shang Yunyun interrupted him with a smile, her tone gentle: "You don't need to explain, I understand you."

Miao Xingxue helped her to a chair and sat her down. When Miao Tai'an and his wife saw that she had arrived and that they must have already heard about it, they decided not to hide it from her anymore.

After Shang Yunyun finished explaining the beginning, the middle, and the end of the story, she understood.

"My sister went to Xinjiang Province, but even after we sent people there, we couldn't find out anything about her?"

Miao Tai'an nodded heavily, "Hmm, not bad."

Shang Yunyun seemed to be deep in thought.

She reassured her, "It's okay, we'll definitely find her. I'm just worried that something might have held her back, preventing her from coming back."

Miao Tai'an and Madam Miao were slightly taken aback. They only thought that the other party was unwilling to come back, but they overlooked this point.

Miao Xingxue's face darkened, and he said, "I'll check tomorrow. I think that since she's able to stay there instead of going home, she might have already found a job there."

Mrs. Miao sighed, "I just hope she doesn't get married and have children there. Alas, it's all my fault..."

Shang Yunyun quickly patted her back to comfort her, while Madam Miao touched her hand, her eyes red-rimmed.

...

at the same time.

Su Miaoyan, Lu Ting, and the others had already decided to set off for the town of Takuwa.

Ma Yingchun, whom Su Miaoyan hadn't seen in a long time, stood at the entrance of the family compound, waving goodbye with her big pregnant belly.

Su Miaoyan looked at Ma Yingchun, the first person she met after arriving at the military region. Considering that Ma Yingchun was still quite a few days away from giving birth, she thought she should help her if she could.

She turned back and said to Ma Yingchun, "Sister-in-law Ma, come with me for a moment, I'll get you something."

Fearing that it might be inconvenient for Ma Yingchun, she held Ma Yingchun's hand and carefully protected her belly, letting her wait in the living room.

Since that letter was sent a few months ago, her family's replies have been like stones sinking into the sea, and there has been no news since.

She thought it was the bankbook she had sent that was useful, but a few days ago she found out that it was actually her mother who had been arrested and imprisoned.

What surprised her even more was that the passbook was actually fake!

But how could Wei Deyao possibly give him a fake bankbook!

Yesterday, she finally told the other party what she had done before. After the other party took out the bankbook and said that he found it under the table, Ma Yingchun suddenly realized what had happened.

It turns out it was all a misunderstanding.

Now that Mom has gone inside, she's a little worried about her younger siblings.

But she had no idea that Aunt Ma had been imprisoned again for some other reason. Without Aunt Ma's special treatment, the younger sisters in the family were pitied by the neighbors, who would bring them food from time to time.

The youngest brother, without Aunt Ma's support, could only get enough to eat with the help of his older sisters.
