This assassin roamed both domestically and internationally, a man who would do anything for money. However, he failed this time, reportedly because Gu Yiming saw through his scheme. It was just bad luck for the assassin; Gu Yiming is such a formidable character, it's a miracle he escaped unscathed.

Jiang Hua knew that Gu Yiming was behind it, and she almost had a heart attack from anger. She immediately went to the assassin's rented room with the maid. Looking at the person who was tied to the chair, her eyes were sinister. The next moment, she changed her behavior and kicked the assassin several times to vent her anger.

"You kept saying you were a top assassin, but you still failed. Let me tell you, you can forget about living in City A from now on."

Jiang Hua looked at the pig-like assassin and was so angry she wanted to yell at the sky. Her plan backfired, unexpectedly promoting the relationship between Jiang Hua and Gu Yiming. She was so stupid to hire such an assassin!

Gu Yiming is no ordinary man; he will definitely be more vigilant, making it much more difficult for him to seize another opportunity to strike in the future.

Although Gu Yiming was eager to investigate, Jiang Hua refused to provide any clues, making it inconvenient for him to act. In addition, he was tied up with company matters and was unable to spare the time. He could only entrust the matter of Jiang Hua being attacked to his subordinates, so the progress was naturally not so fast.

Jiang Hua was touched by his thoughtfulness, but she couldn't say it out loud. She hoped the matter would pass quickly. She suspected Jiang Shiwan, but was helpless because of the photos. Fortunately, she was in the hospital and busy recuperating every day. She had something to do and wasn't too panicked. The nurse, Xiao Gao, was also very considerate, making her feel the warmth from a stranger.

She didn't even tell her assistant about her hospitalization, knowing she was a burden on them. Now that she's terminated her contract with the company, she hopes to reduce her assistant's burden. From now on, she'll just leave the entertainment industry behind.

"Ms. Jiang, there should be nothing else after today's routine ward rounds. What would you like to eat? Would you like me to bring it to you?"

Jiang Hua was pulled back to her senses by the nurse's words. She turned her gaze away from the window, smiled slightly, and said, "No need to trouble yourself. Someone will bring me lunch in a little while."

The nurse looked at her with envy, "Your husband is really thoughtful, bringing you meals every day."

Jiang Hua's smile deepened, her hand touching her belly, her expression becoming even more tender.

He should be able to come today.

Gu Yiming had already dealt with the emergency. His methods were always swift and decisive, leaving people speechless. After finishing his official business, he was just waiting to go to the hospital at noon. He sat in his office chair in a daze for a while.

In a small office within the company, Xu Wei waited anxiously. Since being transferred to her current position, there had been nothing of importance to her; it was essentially a sinecure. She was bored out of her mind every day, and the opportunities to see Gu Yiming were becoming fewer and fewer. Even when she tried to go over under the pretext of delivering documents, she was blocked at the door eight out of ten times by the secretaries.

She felt flustered and confused by Gu Yiming's aloof attitude. She thought about how to win his heart almost every day. She became more and more anxious each day, and her appetite decreased. On the third day after she vomited, a colleague's unintentional joke startled her.

"Xu Wei, are you pregnant? You're vomiting all the time, or did you suddenly have a stomachache? I didn't see you feeling this bad a while ago, and you've lost a lot of weight."

Xu Wei was immediately struck by a thunderbolt. She then asked her supervisor for leave and rushed to the hospital. When she saw the test results, she suddenly burst into tears, caught in a strange mix of emotions, feeling both ecstatic and worried.

Pregnant women are often filled with anxiety and uncertainty. She thought about Gu Yiming's attitude and felt sad for the child in her womb, fearing that the child's biological father would hate them. However, she also wanted to gain status through her child. If she could give birth smoothly, the DNA test would show that whether the Gu family acknowledged the child or not, it would not erase the fact.

However, she dared not. She could drug him and seduce him into having sex, but she dared not give birth to the child alone. Gu Yiming was too terrifying. She was 100% certain that if she gave birth to the child without his knowledge, he would definitely take the child away and separate her from her child.

After much deliberation, Xu Wei made a huge decision: she wanted to be honest with him! Even if it was a gamble, she was willing to take the risk and go all in.

Gu Yiming happened to be at the company today, and she remembered the documents in her supervisor's office. During the meeting this morning, her supervisor had said that they needed to be submitted to him for signature and stamping in the afternoon, so she might as well take them now.

She knocked on the supervisor's door, but there was no response; he wasn't there! Frowning, she pushed the door open and walked inside, seeing the intact documents on the desk. A thought flashed through her mind, and somewhat nervously picked up the documents. Without further hesitation, she strode quickly towards the CEO's office.

Halfway there, she looked down and saw the contents of the document, and gritted her teeth in anger.

The few words of xxx's first draft caught her eye. It turned out that in her haste, she had grabbed the first draft, but she had already walked into Gu Yiming's office. Going back would be a waste of time. She paced anxiously, just as a colleague went to the break room and greeted her.

She nodded absentmindedly, trying to smile but unable to, her facial muscles stiff.

"You look terrible, why don't you have a cup of coffee to perk yourself up?" a colleague kindly suggested.

Xu Wei shouldn't drink coffee at all, she's pregnant, but after hearing her colleague's words, her eyes lit up and she finally found an excuse. She poured herself a cup of coffee and used that as a pretext to knock on the CEO's office door.

Hearing the knock, Gu Yiming said indifferently, "Come in." Then he lowered his head to work on the documents, ignoring who had entered.

A paper cup of coffee was placed in front of him, and his voice turned cold: "Why aren't you using my cup?"

The secretaries aren't new, so are they out of their minds? Why are they so unreliable?

When he looked up, he saw the person standing in front of him, whose deep gaze was cold and gloomy, staring straight at him without saying a word.

Xu Wei felt uneasy under his gaze and gripped the documents in her hand tightly. "I...I'm pregnant!"

With a do-or-die mentality, she finally spoke up.

She's not bad-looking, just as pretty as Jiang Hua, so why does Gu Yiming never give her a second glance? That night, she kept calling out Jiang Hua's name, filled with resentment. What she said today was partly a comparison, but more like using her pregnancy to climb into the Gu family. Seeing that Gu and Jiang Hua's relationship was strained today, she would be a fool not to seize the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

What awaited her was a long silence.

Gu Yiming frowned instantly, his gaze involuntarily falling on Xu Wei's stomach. He had been right on the first try; he hadn't realized his bad luck was so accurate. His expression was unreadable, but his mind was on another woman with a slightly protruding belly.

We can't keep this child.

He spoke with absolute certainty, devoid of any emotion.
