Pei Yang didn't sleep all night, waiting for dawn.

He waited from dawn till dusk, and finally received the phone call he had been waiting for.

After receiving the report from the testing center, he rushed to the Xu family home.

However, Butler Wang said that Xu Jiayue left with a suitcase in the morning, and even the madam and master are looking for her now.

Pei Yang frowned, turned around to leave, and just then ran into Jin Rulan returning.

"Pei Yang, what's going on between you and Jia Yue? The wedding is tomorrow, why did she suddenly pack her bags and leave?" Jin Rulan questioned him with a somewhat unpleasant expression. She hadn't particularly agreed to Jia Yue and Pei Yang being together in the first place, but she still respected her son's own wishes. Later, as time went on, she saw that he was sincere towards Jia Yue, so she accepted him. She didn't expect that problems would arise at this time.

"It's my fault. I want to explain things to Jiayue. Mom, have you told me where Jiayue went?" Pei Yang felt that she knew. Although her face was pale, she was not flustered. She must have already found Jiayue.

"Don't call me so affectionately." Jin Rulan said with a stern face, not buying Pei Yang's words, "You lost your bride, so go find her yourself. If you can't get Jia Yue to forgive you, tomorrow's wedding is canceled."

"I understand, thank you, Mom." Pei Yang bowed slightly and strode out of the Xu family home.

Jin Rulan shook his head helplessly. She had only said a few words when she entered the house, and he had already roughly guessed where Jiayue was. If they really got married in the future, Jiayue would be completely under his control.

"Madam, what about tomorrow's wedding..." Butler Wang asked Jin Rulan for her opinion, somewhat uncertainly.

"As usual." Jin Rulan said these two words and went upstairs.

Pei Yang drove his car out of the Xu family's gate and headed north of the city.

He knew that Xu Jiayue had an apartment in the city center, and she would sometimes stay there when she got off work late at the research institute.

Although Jin Rulan didn't explicitly say so, he felt from her expression and tone that she was still in Yihai.

If it were Yi Hai, there wouldn't be many places she could go now. Everyone knows she's getting married tomorrow, and she doesn't want to be asked so many questions, so she'd definitely hide somewhere where she's all alone.

Half an hour later, he arrived at the apartment door. It was already dark. He turned off the corridor lights and saw the light from her room shining through the crack in the door.

He was right; she was right there.

"Jiayue, I know you're behind the door." He rang the doorbell several times but received no response, so he spoke into the doorway.

As he said, Xu Jiayue was indeed behind the door; she saw him through the peephole after he rang the bell for the first time.

She leaned against the door, not responding to him, her eyes lowered as she looked at the ground.

“Jiayue, I know you can hear me.” Pei Yang pursed his lips and spoke again, “Open the door, let’s talk, okay? That child isn’t mine. Qin Yun is just testing our relationship.”

Xu Jiayue's eyelashes fluttered slightly, then drooped down again.

"Don't you believe me? Do you want to know why he looks so much like me? You'll know once you see this lab report. Can you open the door?" Pei Yang said, and waited for a while, but still didn't hear her make a sound.

He crouched down, slipped the lab report under the door, and said, "I know you don't want to talk to me, but take a look at this."

Xu Jiayue looked down at the thin piece of paper being stuffed in, bit her lip, hesitated for a while, and then bent down to pick it up.
