The rental house was dead silent, with only the bubbling sound of the pot on the stove.

It took Gu Xiuyuan a long time to come back to his senses. He wanted to pull his hand away, but it was held even tighter.

"Gu Xiuyuan, I won't say anything because I know you don't remember. It's useless for me to say anything."

"But, you really don't feel anything at all?!"

"What..." He was a little confused.

"The baby is moving." She held back her tears, "Didn't you say that the babies would wait for you to come back and move?"

"They waited!"

"But why did you forget what you said?"

At this moment, Gu Xiuyuan had a severe headache, and it seemed that there really was such a voice ringing in his ears.

He tried hard to catch it, but was interrupted by the ringing of a cell phone in the living room.

This is an unfamiliar ringtone, different from the one I heard before.

Only then did Ji Shuyu realize that the ringtone was exclusive to Huo Yuxuan.

While he was stunned, Gu Xiuyuan had already pulled his hand out and took a few steps forward.

Looking at the call from his relative, he just felt a headache.

"Hello……"

"Where are you?" This cold question was the first he heard since waking up.

But I think this is right!

"Outside, what's going on?"

"Xuanxuan couldn't reach you and was worried at home. Why didn't you answer the phone?"

"I didn't hear it." There was irritation in his words.

"Gu Xiuyuan, are you..." Xia Mei was angry. "Go back immediately." she ordered.

"What if I don't?" he asked.

"Gu Xiuyuan, remember your identity. You have a fiancée." Xia Mei said coldly.

"I advise you to go back. If you continue to do whatever you want outside, I will never let you do it!"

As she spoke, the phone was hung up.

Gu Xiuyuan suddenly felt suffocated.

I didn't seem to have any strong emotions in my heart, but my phone was reflexively held tightly in my hand.

"What's the matter with you asking me out today?"

"Have you never doubted the people and things around you?"

"Do you remember Qin Chuan, Fu Shengkai, and Ji Shuyu?!"

Gu Xiuyuan listened and felt a pang of anxiety in his heart.

"What do you want to say..."

"Why do you always ask others what they want to say? If what they say is useful, do I need to think so much about it?!" She roared unbearably.

"If I tell you, will you believe it?"

Gu Xiuyuan was feeling a little confused and was about to speak when his cell phone rang again.

He paused as he looked at the incoming call. "It's getting late. If you have nothing else to say, I'll be leaving first."

"Gu Xiuyuan!" she yelled at his back.

Gu Xiuyuan didn't stop for a moment and hurried downstairs.

When he reached the platform, a picture suddenly flashed through his mind.

He seemed to see a girl squatting at the door on the fourth floor. She had her face buried in her knees and was crying, very sadly...

At that moment, he almost fell down the stairs.

He grabbed the stairs to steady himself, then shook his head vigorously and walked down the stairs in two steps...

…

Linjiang Bay

When Gu Xiuyuan returned, the living room was in a mess, with food and tableware scattered all over the floor.

Huo Yuxuan sat on the sofa, her eyes were red, but she didn't look like she was aggrieved.

Seeing him come back, she still tried to keep her smile, but behind the smile... there seemed to be only distortion.

"Why did you come back just now?" Huo Yuxuan stood up. "Why didn't you answer my call? Do you know how worried I was when I couldn't reach you?"

Gu Xiuyuan didn't say anything, but looked at the mess under her feet.

This is the first time I see her like this.

Huo Yuxuan faced his suspicious gaze and gradually became unwilling to put on an act anymore.

In the past, she was willing to act gentle and considerate in front of him because she was the only one in his heart.

But after just a few days of coming back, he seemed like a different person.

She couldn't stand the humiliation, and she couldn't stand the fact that all this was caused by Ji Shuyu and that bitch!

"Let's get married!" This time, her tone was no longer one of negotiation, but rather one of notification. Even if she tried to hide it, she couldn't hide the arrogance behind her attitude.

"My parents will be coming to Yuncheng in three days. We can have the wedding then."

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Because I like you."

Why does she like it?

Oh……

Huo Yuxuan stepped forward, "Xiuyuan, you won't break your promise, will you?"

"You promised to get engaged to me and take care of me for the rest of my life." She slowly grabbed his arm and said, "We've survived this ordeal, shouldn't we love each other even more?"

Her voice was soft, but her hands unconsciously exerted force.

"So, my mom suddenly proposed getting married. Was it you who suggested it?"

Huo Yuxuan was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect him to bring it up directly.

Huo Yuxuan didn't deny his directness. "So, are you willing?"

"I said, wait a little longer."

"Why?!"

His refusal again almost made Huo Yuxuan unable to control her temper.

"Why are you so anxious?" Gu Xiuyuan looked at her directly, afraid that he would go back on his word?

In the flickering candlelight, Huo Yuxuan felt a chill down her spine when she saw him.

Did he remember...

No, I should say, did he know something?

Gu Xiuyuan said nothing, just looked at her.

"It's getting late, go to bed early!"

As he said this, he turned around.

"Gu Xiuyuan!" Huo Yuxuan finally lost control of her temper. "I'm asking you again, do you want to get married?!"

Gu Xiuyuan didn't even stop and went straight upstairs.

Back in the room, he opened his laptop and inserted a USB drive into it.

When I opened it, it was a video of the wedding.

The phone call I just received was to tell him:

"The situation at the engagement party has been investigated. The guest who suffered heavy bleeding was not on the list. It was a woman from Yuncheng."

"He said the man's name was Ji Shuyu..."

He suppressed his trembling and pulled back time.

The engagement ceremony was unexpectedly cancelled that day and the media blocked the news, so almost no one knew what happened afterwards.

In these fragmented images, which were captured from the mobile phones of the guests at the scene, a figure was finally seen in the last few minutes of the image.

I saw her suddenly fall to the ground, with blood all over her body...

As he watched, a sad voice suddenly rang in his ears: Xiuyuan, I'm in pain...

snap

Unconsciously, a tear fell from my eye...

…

Downstairs, Huo Yuxuan clenched her fists tightly and looked towards the stairs.

At this time, her cell phone rang. It was Xia Mei.

"I will solve this matter for you, don't worry..."

The night is as dark as ink.

It's another windy night.

Ji Shuyu tossed and turned, with his determined back as he left all before her eyes.

My heart was filled with bitterness and my eyes couldn't help but become moist. No matter how much I tried to comfort myself, I couldn't calm down. Even the baby in my belly was particularly restless tonight.

The fetal movements were different from usual ones, but it was fluttering in my belly, as if something was about to happen...

Ji Shuyu thought that her emotions had affected the babies, so she gently stroked her belly to comfort them, but they still seemed uneasy.

After midnight, the old community has fallen into a deep sleep.

Ji Shuyu tossed and turned for a long time before she felt a little sleepy.

Half asleep, she suddenly heard a commotion and someone outside shouting, "Fire!!"
