Anxia ran over like a madwoman, saw that there was nothing in the trunk, and shouted.

Gu An, who was almost inside the room, saw Jiang Ruan, who had been woken up, in his arms, and the veins on his forehead bulged.

He considered using duct tape to bind the noisy people outside who had woken Jiang Ruan.

But when he looked at Jiang Ruan, his face was full of tenderness, and he said softly, "She's awake."

Jiang Ruan nodded slightly to indicate that she understood, and asked softly, "Hmm... what exactly happened outside? Why are they keeping shouting 'It's all gone, it's all gone'? Who exactly is gone?"

Her ears were always exceptionally sharp; even if she only heard a few words, she could roughly understand their meaning.

Gu An remained calm. He glanced at the anxious expressions of the people outside, gently put Jiang Ruan down, and spread his hands to indicate, "It seems that An Chun is gone."

"What(???.???)????"

This time, it was Jiang Ruan's turn to shout.

"No, I have to go check on her. Xiaxia must be so worried." Jiang Ruan said, about to run out to find An Xia, but Gu An stopped her.

"Wait a minute, don't rush!" Gu An's deep and magnetic voice rang out, and at the same time he quickly stretched out his arms and tightly encircled Jiang Ruan in his broad and firm embrace.

This sudden action completely stunned Jiang Ruan, who had just woken up and was still a little groggy.

She blinked, trying to recover from her shock, but the handsome face in front of her became clearer and clearer.

Gu An's eyes were deep and intense, as if burning with a flame, staring straight at her.

His breathing quickened, and his warm breath gently brushed against her cheek, bringing a tingling sensation.

"Why...why!" Jiang Ruan finally found her voice, only to find her throat terribly dry. She tried to break free from Gu An's embrace, but his strength was too great, and her struggles seemed so futile.

The two were extremely close at this moment, and could even feel each other's heartbeats. This intimate contact made Jiang Ruan feel extremely uncomfortable and embarrassed.

"Look, Huayi has already done a great job. You should give your sister some personal space!"

Gu An affectionately flicked Jiang Ruan's nose, the laughter emanating from his chest stimulating Jiang Ruan nearby.

At his prompting, she turned her head and looked over. Sure enough, Hua Yi had already comforted An Xia, and An Chun's body was found in the bottom cushion.

And according to the plan in the car, Hua Yi has already taken action.

It seems that I don't need to get involved in any of this.

Seeing that An Xia had found her own happiness, Jiang Ruan couldn't help but feel an indescribable surge of emotion.

She gazed quietly at Anxia, ​​who was lost in her own world, but her thoughts drifted back to the past.

Anxia had once asked Jiang Ruan out of curiosity about her impressions and feelings toward Huayi.

Jiang Ruan didn't think much of it at the time and simply answered An Xia's question truthfully.

Looking back now, however, perhaps from that time onwards, a special feeling had quietly begun to develop between the two of them.

Jiang Ruan secretly marveled at the wondrous arrangement of fate. Who could have imagined that that casual conversation would become the foreshadowing of this beautiful marriage?

She herself also played the role of a witness in this process.

She sincerely hopes that Anxia and Huayi can cherish each other and walk hand in hand through every stage of life.

As for herself, Jiang Ruan slowly raised her head, her gaze meeting Gu An's. They silently stared into each other's eyes, as if they could see the reflection of each other's inner selves in those deep pupils.

At that moment, time seemed to stand still. The surrounding noise gradually faded away, leaving only the tacit understanding and warmth between the two.

A feeling of indescribable relief welled up in Jiang Ruan's heart.

She saw the determination, gentleness, and concern in Gu An's eyes, and these emotions flowed into her heart like a warm current, making her feel incredibly at ease and sweet.

Gu An could also feel the tenderness and dependence in Jiang Ruan's eyes, and this feeling of spiritual connection moved him deeply.

In that brief exchange of glances, they understood each other's feelings without needing to say a word.

"Mom, what are you doing there? Why don't you come in?" Perhaps the two of them had been standing there for too long, and the people inside couldn't wait any longer. Unexpectedly, it was the parents who came over first. Before they could even speak, Bai Yuan, who was expressing his true feelings, spoke first.

"Dad, Mom, why are you carrying the baby out? It's too hot outside, and the doorway is scorching hot. Come inside quickly!"

Jiang Ruan could no longer contain her tenderness when she saw Zai Zai's heart, and she rushed forward to hug him.

After not seeing him for several days, he seemed to have become rounder and fairer.

"Mommy, Mommy, it's been so long! You're finally back with Daddy! I'm so happy! ^_^"

The little boy waved his arms and made "ah ah ah" noises, but only Jiang Ruan and Gu An could hear him.

"Oh dear, my little one, have you been a good boy/girl while Mommy's been away these past few days?"

No sooner had Jiang Ruan finished speaking than the baby, angry that his mother was ignoring his problem, peed.

The warmth in her palm seemed to travel through her body like lightning, instantly rousing Jiang Ruan from her daze. She stared wide-eyed at the adorable little guy before her, then carefully placed him into her warm embrace.

Then, Jiang Ruan lowered her head to check herself, and couldn't help but frown: "My little one! How could you do this? You peed all over your mother!"

She gently scolded the baby while pretending to spank the baby's bottom. However, just as she raised her hand to gently pat the baby, she was suddenly stopped by a gentle hand.

"Don't hit the child, he's still so young, he doesn't understand anything," the mother said lovingly to Jiang Ruan.

Jiang Ruan was stunned. Looking at the doting and tolerant look in her mother's eyes, a warm feeling welled up in her heart. She understood that her mother was right; the child was still young and ignorant and needed more care and love.

So, Jiang Ruan slowly lowered her hand, which had been raised to strike, and gently stroked the baby's hair with her fingers. She smiled warmly and said, "Okay, my little darling, I'll forgive you this time, but don't do it again. Don't be so naughty in the future."

As soon as she finished speaking, she turned her gaze back to the little one who was being held in his mother's arms, her eyes filled with endless tenderness and deep affection.

"Look at you, you're a mother now, and you still have this temper. What am I supposed to say to you?!"

Jiang's mother sighed, and Jiang's father chimed in, "This child has been sensible since she was little. Don't always scold her. Children get dumber the more you scold them. You have to praise her. If you praise her a lot, she will become smarter through subtle influence."

Jiang's mother gave Jiang's father a knowing look, then moved aside with the child in her arms and said, "Come on in, aren't you hot standing at the door, silly child?"
