At night, the two returned to their room.

Ning Nanxue came out of the shower and saw Jiang Tingchen standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window making a phone call. She walked over quietly without saying a word.

Jiang Tingchen seemed unaware of her approach and continued talking on the phone.

Ning Nanxue walked to a place just a few steps away from him and stopped. She vaguely heard the content of Jiang Tingchen's phone call, which seemed to be related to Huayun Group.

Ning Nanxue's heart sank suddenly.

Jiang Tingchen hung up the phone, turned around, and saw Ning Nanxue standing behind him, a hint of surprise flashed across his face.

"Xue'er, when...when did you come out?" he asked with a somewhat unnatural tone.

Ning Nanxue did not answer his question, but just looked at him quietly with complicated eyes.

Jiang Tingchen felt a little guilty when she looked at him. He walked over to her and wanted to explain: "Xue'er, I..."

"You don't have to explain." Ning Nanxue interrupted him, "I just saw the text message on your phone."

Jiang Tingchen's face turned pale in an instant.

He didn't expect that Ning Nanxue would actually see that text message.

Ning Nanxue looked at him and asked word by word, "Boss Li, why do I call you Young Master?"

The air froze instantly and the atmosphere became tense.

Jiang Tingchen's smile froze on his face, and a hint of panic flashed in his gentle eyes. He realized that Ning Nanxue had noticed it, and her silence was like tacit agreement.

Ning Nanxue looked at him, her eyes filled with disappointment and pain.

"Jiang Tingchen, I'm asking you a question! Why does Mr. Li call you Young Master?" Ning Nanxue's voice rose several decibels with a hint of trembling.

"Xue'er, please listen to my explanation..." Jiang Tingchen tried to explain, but was interrupted by Ning Nanxue.

"I don't want to hear any explanations!" Ning Nanxue's voice was sharp and piercing. "I want to hear the truth!"

She couldn't stand deception, especially from the people she trusted the most.

Jiang Tingchen looked at Ning Nanxue, his eyes filled with pain and struggle.

He knew that he could no longer hide it.

"Xue'er, I'm sorry." He lowered his head and said in a low voice, "I... I am the heir of Huayun Group."

Ning Nanxue's body trembled violently as if struck by lightning.

She took a few steps back, leaned against the wall, and managed to keep her balance.

"You...what did you say?" She couldn't believe her ears, her voice trembling, "You are...the heir of Huayun Group?"

Jiang Tingchen nodded, his tone heavy: "Yes, I have been hiding my identity all along."

"Why?" Ning Nanxue looked at him, her eyes filled with confusion and anger. "Why did you do this?"

"I...I don't want to put pressure on you." Jiang Tingchen explained, "I hope you can be with me because of who I am, not because of who I am."

"Is this the reason you hid it from me?" Ning Nanxue sneered, her tone full of sarcasm, "Jiang Tingchen, do you take me for a fool?"

"Xue'er, I didn't..." Jiang Tingchen wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Ning Nanxue.

"That's enough!" Ning Nanxue's voice was cold and resolute. "I don't want to hear anything else from you."

She turned and walked towards the door.

"Xue'er, where are you going?" Jiang Tingchen panicked. He took a step forward and wanted to hold her.

Ning Nanxue shook off his hand and said in a cold tone: "Where I go is none of your business."

She opened the door and walked out without looking back.

Jiang Tingchen stood there, looking at Ning Nanxue's resolute back, his heart filled with regret and panic. He realized that he had made an unforgivable mistake.

He chased after her, but could only watch Ning Nanxue's car disappear into the night.

Jiang Tingchen returned to the room and sat dejectedly on the sofa, his heart in turmoil. He took out his cell phone and called Ning Nanxue over and over again, but no one answered.

He sent countless text messages to Ning Nanxue, but received no reply.

Jiang Tingchen knew that Ning Nanxue was really angry this time and she would not forgive him easily.

He thought of Mr. Li. It was because of Mr. Li's text message that Ning Nanxue discovered his identity.

Jiang Tingchen called Mr. Li and said angrily, "Mr. Li, you did a great job!"

Mr. Li was shocked when he received a call from Jiang Tingchen.

He didn't know what was going on, so he quickly asked, "Master, what's wrong?"

"What's wrong? You still have the nerve to ask me what's wrong?" Jiang Tingchen roared, "Xue'er saw the text message you sent!"

When Mr. Li heard this, he immediately panicked.

"Master, I... I didn't mean to..." He explained quickly, "I didn't know Miss Ning would see it..."

"What's the point of saying this now?" Jiang Tingchen interrupted him, "Do you know that Xue'er broke up with me because of this text message of yours?"

"Break up?" Mr. Li exclaimed, "Is it that serious?"

"What do you say?" Jiang Tingchen said angrily, "Go find Xue'er right now. No matter what, you must bring her back to me!"

"Yes, young master, I will go find it right away." Mr. Li agreed quickly.

Jiang Tingchen hung up the phone, still feeling extremely anxious.

He got up, rushed out of the room, and drove around the city aimlessly looking for her.

He went to Ning Nanxue's company, her residence, and all the places they had been to together, but he couldn't find her.

Jiang Tingchen's heart grew heavier and heavier. He didn't know where else he could find her.

Suddenly, he thought of Suisui.

Jiang Tingchen drove to the cemetery with the last glimmer of hope.

The cemetery was silent.

Jiang Tingchen was searching in the cemetery, and finally, he saw a familiar figure in front of Sui Sui's grave.

Ning Nanxue was sitting in front of Sui Sui's grave, with her head lowered, not knowing what she was thinking about.

Mr. Li stood there, bewildered. He looked at Jiang Tingchen, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

"Young Master, this...Miss Ning must be very sad now. You'd better not disturb her." Mr. Li said cautiously, fearing that he would anger Jiang Tingchen again.

"Bother her?" Jiang Tingchen sneered, a hint of self-mockery in his voice, "Boss Li, do you think I'm still qualified to disturb her now?"

"You don't have to say anything." Jiang Tingchen's voice was low and hoarse. "Go back and tell grandpa that I'm fine."

"Yes, young master." Mr. Li responded and turned to leave the cemetery.

Jiang Tingchen just stood there, looking at Ning Nanxue in the distance with a frown on his face.

He reached out and gently stroked the photo on the phone. In the photo, Sui Sui was smiling sweetly and was very cute.

"Sui Sui, I'm sorry." Jiang Tingchen's voice was choked and trembling, "Uncle didn't protect your mother well. Uncle made your mother sad..."

"Uncle knows he was wrong. From now on, he will protect your mother and never let her get hurt again..."

"Sui Sui, you have to be good over there and protect your mother, okay?"

Jiang Tingchen's voice echoed in the empty cemetery, carrying endless sadness and regret.
