After Yu Sheng and Gu Ye moved away from Xinhe Bay, Shang Yan did not move with them; he continued to live there.

After leaving Xinhe Bay, he drove Yusheng towards Xinhe Bay.

Halfway there, Shang Yan suddenly remembered that Yu Sheng's newly built house was right next to his. He was worried that taking her there would make her feel even worse, and he also couldn't take her to his old apartment, Fulton, where Qiao Moya lived. If they ran into Qiao Moya, it would disrupt her current plans.

After some thought, Shang Yan turned the car around.

Yu Sheng was unaware of Shang Yan's concerns at this moment; she stared blankly at the distant sky.

Although night had long since fallen, the city was still ablaze with neon lights.

Instead, the dark sky seemed to mirror the collapsing world within her heart.

A sense of powerlessness overwhelmed her; she didn't even have the strength to think.

She didn't move an inch the whole way.

It wasn't until the car stopped and Shang Yan softly called her name, telling her that they had arrived, that she came back to her senses.

Yu Sheng got out of the car and, seeing that she was in an unfamiliar place, paused for a moment before asking Shang Yan, "Where is this?"

"My house in the suburbs."

"Why did you bring me here?"

"because……"

Shang Yan originally wanted to make up an excuse, but the words were already on the tip of his tongue. Suddenly, he didn't want to lie anymore, so he simply explained why he had brought her here.

After hearing what Shang Yan said about Yu Sheng, it was as if two fireflies had suddenly flown into her dark inner world. She hadn't expected that he would consider her feelings.

The house is a detached villa with three floors.

Basement level 1, first floor, and second floor.

The decoration is relatively simple.

As Yu Sheng looked around the living room, Shang Yan said, "When I want some peace and quiet, I'll come and stay for a couple of days. It's close to the river, so I can go for a run, go fishing, look at the sky, and just think..."

Seeing Shang Yan stop, Yu Sheng asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Think of you!

These three words are clearly inappropriate to use now.

So he lied and said, "Think about it."

Yu Sheng smiled and said, "It's quiet here, which is indeed a good place to think."

Shang Yan didn't say anything more, and looked up at the second floor: "The guest rooms are on the left. It's getting late, you should get some rest!"

Yu Sheng replied, "You should get some rest too," and went upstairs.

After entering the room, she sat on the bed for a while before taking her phone out of her bag. The screen showed 7 missed calls! All from Gu Ye!!

As she and Shang Yan left the Mask Club, Gu called her.

She felt nauseous the moment she saw his name flashing on her screen.

She frantically pressed the mute button and stuffed it into her backpack as if fleeing a flood or a ferocious beast.

Even now, looking at his name still makes her want to vomit.

As she clutched her chest, her face deathly pale, Gu Ye called again.

She gripped her phone tightly, fighting off the nausea, and pressed the answer button.

If she doesn't go back tonight and doesn't give him an explanation, he'll definitely go crazy looking for her everywhere. She doesn't want to make a big fuss!

As soon as the call connected, Gu Ye's anxious voice came through, "Sheng Sheng, why aren't you home?"

Yu Sheng said expressionlessly, "I'm with Sheng Ning, I'm not going back tonight."

Gu Ye asked suspiciously, "Why did you go to Sheng Ning's place again? Wasn't she busy?"

Yu Sheng didn't answer Gu Ye, but said directly, "I plan to go to the suburbs with her for a few days, and I won't be going back for the next few days."

After she finished speaking, she hung up the phone without waiting for Gu to reply.

In order to get Sheng Ning to cooperate by disappearing from the city for a few days, she called Sheng Ning again.

After Sheng Ning generously said it was no problem, he asked her about going to the Mask Club that night.

Yu Sheng was exhausted and had no energy to say anything else, so she told Sheng Ning that she would tell her another day.

Sheng Ning sensed Yu Sheng's exhaustion and weakness, so she didn't press her further. She told her to rest well and to call her anytime if she needed anything.

Just as Yu Sheng hung up on Sheng Ning, Gu called again. She didn't answer, hung up, turned off her phone, collapsed onto the bed, buried her face in the blankets, and let the tears flow freely...

When Gu Ye heard the mechanical female voice on the other end of the phone say, "Sorry, the number you dialed is currently unavailable," he almost had the urge to smash his phone.

He learned from Yu Jing that Yu Sheng had asked Charles to perform surgery on Xiao Cheng before the end of the year. He felt that this matter was a bit difficult to handle, but whether it was difficult or simple, it was up to Gu Jin to handle it.

He originally intended to call Gu Jin directly to discuss this matter, but ultimately decided it would be better to meet in person. He inquired around and learned that Gu Jin was attending a charity gala that evening.

So, after finishing his psychological counseling with Wu Xiaohong, he went to find Gu Jin at the banquet.

When he arrived, Gu Jin was giving a speech.

After he finished speaking, he was surrounded by people offering him toasts.

He could only patiently wait until she was almost done with her work and had some free time before going up to see her.

Just then, Yu Jing called urgently—

They said Yu Sheng demanded that Charles perform surgery on Xiao Cheng within three days, or she would abort the child. They also said that Yu Sheng's tone was off, as if something had happened...

He immediately called Yu Sheng, but she didn't answer. So he called Aunt Duan.

Aunt Duan said that Yu Sheng went out two hours ago, but didn't say where she went.

Gu checked the time; two hours ago was when he left Wu Xiaohong's place and called Yu Sheng to say he would be back later.

In other words, she left home as soon as she found out he would be home late.

Gu also sensed something was wrong and immediately called Yu Sheng back—but no one answered.

All the way up to the eighth call!
