Jiang Ruan felt much less anxious after seeing Du Ning sign the document.

She originally thought this would be a long and drawn-out argument, but she didn't expect it to be so quick!

Du Ning's voice was cold, and his expression was no longer as eager and playful as before, but rather more inquisitive. "Jiang Ruan, I really didn't expect that you had secretly investigated me so many times."

"A day as husband and wife is worth a hundred days of kindness"—now it seems utterly ridiculous.

Du Ning threw the divorce papers on the table and stared intently at Jiang Ruan, his eyes seeming to want to devour her alive.

Seeing that the matter was already settled, Jiang Ruan thought about what had happened before and found it all laughable. "Du Ning, you know that even a day as husband and wife is worth a hundred days of kindness. Before, I only thought you were aloof and cold. Even when we were deeply in love, I was always the one who took the initiative."

“I thought this was your protective shield, your shackles, and that you treated everyone this way, including me.”

"I didn't expect You Xiang to be the exception; this is quite surprising!"

You Xiang is Jiang Ruan and Du Ning's classmate. To be more specific, she is Jiang Ruan's best friend. The two used to talk about everything. Although they had their arguments, they always laughed more.

You Xiang is passionate about design. Before graduating, she was selected as a designer by a large company because of her award-winning work. She was surrounded by a halo of fame. Moreover, she was also very beautiful, with a somewhat bewitching beauty that had a fatal attraction for many men.

Jiang Ruan thought that Du Ning, given his personality, would never become one of them, but she overestimated his willpower and underestimated her charm.

They had been together for many years, and he only found out about it on his deathbed. The feeling of being betrayed by both friendship and love was not pleasant.

That's why she sought help from Anxia as soon as she returned, found someone to take precautions, and kept evidence, all in order to get a smooth divorce.

She had considered bankrupting the scumbag and ruining the scumbag woman's reputation, but since the baby wasn't born yet, she was really worried.

The shadow of her previous life was so great that she could temporarily ignore any betrayal.

Du Ning stared at Jiang Ruan's face for a long time but couldn't detect any sign of regret. Frustrated, he picked up his clothes from the bed and prepared to leave.

Before leaving, he threatened Jiang Ruan in a vicious tone, "Give me a chance to trust you. If even a little bit of this gets out, you know what I'm capable of!"

Then he slammed the door and left, leaving behind only a cold, distant figure.

Jiang Ruan picked up the divorce agreement and looked at it carefully. Du Ning had signed it so quickly that she had forgotten to tell him the details, especially regarding the custody of the children.

But judging from his appearance, he probably doesn't care at all, doesn't pay any attention to the child.

Jiang Ruan dialed her parents' number and briefly told them what was going on. Just as she was about to tell them about tomorrow's plans, she felt a rapid, gushing flow of fluid from below.

Jiang Ruan was startled and exclaimed "Ah!" Her parents on the other end became worried.

Jiang's mother asked anxiously, "Ruan Ruan, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Jiang Ruan had given birth once before, so she naturally knew what this meant. Her voice trembled as she said, "Mom, I think I'm going into labor. The amniotic fluid is coming out!"

"What? Oh, oh, oh, your dad and I will be there right away. Just go to the hospital we arranged, tell them the address, and they will come to pick you up. Don't worry, your parents will be there soon."

"good."

I tried my best to calm myself down. I had made thorough preparations for having a baby this time, but I didn't expect the baby to be so impatient before the full term was over.

Jiang Ruan wondered if she had been provoked by Du Ning's push just now.

But she still dialed the number and patiently waited for 120.

She lay half-reclined on the sofa, with a cushion she brought with her underneath, looking at her phone and waiting for the time to pass.

She dared not move, fearing that if she moved, too much amniotic fluid would leak out and the baby would suffocate.

Just as I was staring at my phone, Anxia called.

"Ah Ruan, I need to talk to you about something. Where are you?"

Jiang Ruan immediately replied, "Waiting for 120."

Anxia: "!!! Sister, what's wrong? What happened?"

"Wait a minute, judging by the time, you're not about to give birth, are you?!"

Where are you? I'm coming to find you.

Anxia's series of calls made Jiang Ruan's lips curl into a slight smile. Anxia, ​​it has to be Anxia.

Just as I sent An Xia my location, the ambulance arrived, along with someone Jiang Ruan didn't expect.

Gu An!

In the ambulance, Jiang Ruan really wanted to ask Gu An why he had come along. How could it be such a coincidence that he actually wanted to accompany her to the hospital?

Thinking this, Jiang Ruan asked, "What a coincidence that you're here."

Gu An patted Jiang Ruan's head and saw her eyebrows furrow slightly in pain, which made him nervous as well.

"Unfortunately, I've been waiting for you."

Jiang Ruan was even more confused, but before she could ask, the accompanying doctor had already started asking Jiang Ruan for information. Gu An filled in the gaps for questions that Jiang Ruan couldn't answer or couldn't answer in time due to the pain.

Jiang Ruan stared at Gu An, feeling both familiar and unfamiliar; she had never seen Gu An like this before.

Seeing that Gu An answered almost fluently, the doctor put away his notebook and teased, "Girl, you've chosen a good husband. He takes care of everything for you! If it were someone else, they probably wouldn't know anything."

Jiang Ruan instinctively wanted to retort, but Gu An rubbed her shoulder, and she swallowed back the words she was about to say.

When Jiang Ruan arrived at the hospital to give birth, she finally had the chance to ask Gu An why he had tacitly agreed to it, since they were clearly just friends.

Gu An tucked the blanket around Jiang Ruan and poured her a glass of water before slowly saying, "This hospital doesn't check marriage certificates."

"What's the meaning?"

"What I mean is, you don't need to worry about anything happening during childbirth, like your husband's hesitation delaying rescue or something. With me here, that kind of thing is impossible."

Jiang Ruan was stunned by his words. How could he know? It was as if he knew. Could it be that he was also someone who had been reborn and awakened again?

Jiang Ruan tentatively asked, "Do you believe in the apocalypse?"

"The end of the world? That prophecy in the news, judging from the comments, everyone's talking about it. It's a joke," Gu An thought for a moment.

"And what about you? Do you think so too?"

Under Jiang Ruan's expectant gaze, Gu An smiled. Although he didn't know why she asked that question, he was sure she believed it, so why should he follow the crowd?

"I believe that's not a joke."

Gu An's gaze was so determined, as if he wanted to join the organization, which made Jiang Ruan feel embarrassed.

Just then, a nurse came in and said, "Family members, please step aside. We are about to move Ms. Jiang to the delivery room. You can wait outside. We will let you know in advance if you need anything."

Upon hearing that she was going into the delivery room, many scenes flashed before Jiang Ruan's eyes like a slideshow.

In her haste, she forgot that her parents in her previous life would have had complications during childbirth. She quickly stopped the nurses and called Gu An over.

After all, he's the only person I can trust now.
