"Tang'er, I've treated you well these past few years. How could you betray your father like this?"
Upon hearing the sound, Gan Tang opened her eyes and was met with Lu Zhengqian's angry gaze.
“Dad!” she called out in the old way. “This isn’t the first time I’ve contacted Chu Jiahe today.”
Lu Zhengqian said coldly, "Are you telling me that you deliberately let me kidnap you?"
"Yes!" Gan Tang met his gaze. "Dad, that thing was supposed to be in that place. Before the police start investigating, you should run away quickly."
"You want me to escape?" Lu Zhengqian viciously grabbed Gan Tang's neck. That face, the only one he had ever shown him favor, slowly turned red and then purple in his hands.
Suddenly, Lu Zhengqian threw Gan Tang back onto the sofa and sneered, "You've got some nerve, daring to come back."
Gan Tang lay on the sofa, coughing for a long time before she recovered. "Dad is a kind-hearted person, he will not make things difficult for me."
A knock sounded at the door. Fu Cheng knocked twice, pushed the door open, and asked directly, "Godfather, are the assets of the Lu Group going to be transferred?"
“No need! The ledger is encrypted, and it will take them some time to crack it. But if we act now, they might start monitoring us.” Lu Zhengqian waved his hand weakly. “Lock her up.”
"yes!"
Since Gan Tang's fighting skills didn't require special attention, Fu Cheng locked her up in the Zishan Villa and went back to find Lu Zhengqian. This was a critical moment; he needed to make a decision quickly.
Stepping back into the study, the misty window reflected a weathered face streaked with tears.
Lu Zhengqian said with a self-deprecating smile, "Ah Cheng, even Tang'er knew to come and inform me, yet he can be so heartless."
Fu Cheng didn't dare go in and stood at the door, saying, "Godfather, that kind of person isn't worth your sadness."
"Forget it!" Lu Zhengqian sighed. "Let's back off. We'll find a reason to report the cruise trip."
"yes!"
That day, Fu Cheng, having finished his busy work, arrived at Lin Shuang's residence. Lin Shuang was five months pregnant, and her originally pure face now possessed a gentle and graceful air.
Fu Cheng held her in his arms, greedily inhaling her scent.
Lin Shuang noticed a hint of sadness in his eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing!" Fu Cheng carried Lin Shuang to the bed and gently covered her with the blanket.
Seeing that he didn't come up, Lin Shuang was a little disappointed. "It's so late, are you still leaving?"
"I'm not leaving!" Fu Cheng burrowed under the covers and touched Lin Shuang's belly. The five-month-old baby could already feel his presence. He suddenly felt incredibly cruel. Knowing he had no future, he still made her bear his child.
Can I still have an abortion?
"Acheng?" Lin Shuang looked at the man beside her in horror, clutching her stomach tightly. "Did I do something wrong?"
"No, no." Fu Cheng hugged the flustered woman tightly, his heart trembling. "Xiao Shuang, if I die one day, can you please not marry someone else? There are men in this world with ulterior motives, and you are so innocent. I'm worried you'll be deceived."
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Lin Shuang's tears streamed down her face as she exclaimed, "If you die, I'll die with you."
"Don't talk nonsense." Fu Cheng covered Lin Shuang's mouth. "If there really is someone you like, you must be extremely careful. As for the child..."
"You still dare to talk! You still dare to talk!" Lin Shuang cried as she hit him.
"I won't say anything more, don't be angry."
Lin Shuang asked anxiously, "Acheng, is something about to happen?"
"No, I'm just a little scared lately, but it's nothing serious." He couldn't bring himself to say those words to her, and instead laughed, "Usually, it's the mother who experiences morning sickness, why is it the other way around in our family?"
Lin Shuang gently kissed him, her eyes filled with affection: "Acheng, I have good news for you. My TV series is doing very well, and I've been nominated for Best Actress."
Fu Cheng enjoyed their brief time together and chatted with her casually: "Other actresses of this age like to film beautiful fantasy dramas, why do you want to film poverty alleviation dramas and dress yourself up in such a grimy way?"
Tears welled up in Lin Shuang's eyes again. "This isn't just any award; it's an award from the Arts and Literature Department. If I win this award, my parents will let me come home."
Fu Cheng felt sorry for you, "I'll go home with you, tomorrow."
Lin Shuang shook her head, "Let's not. If they see me with my big belly, they'll probably scold me for being shameless. Besides, you don't want to get a marriage certificate with me."
Sensing Fu Cheng's trembling, Lin Shuang quickly explained, "I don't blame you. I know you're doing this for my own good. I'm already so grateful to God for being able to stay by your side like this. And God has also given us a child."
She was diagnosed with a hormonal imbalance and couldn't sleep for days on end. Unexpectedly, not long after, she found out she was pregnant. She truly felt incredibly happy.
Lin Shuang said, "After I win the award, will you come with me to see them?"
"……good."
Promises are like mountains, weighing people down and making it hard to breathe. He also began to use lies to deceive the person he loved most.
After Lin Shuang fell asleep, Fu Cheng tucked the blanket around her again and again, kissing her face and brows repeatedly. No matter how reluctant he was, he had to release her gentle body at dawn.
This departure will either mean separation in life or death.
It was already evening when Fu Cheng returned to Qinglong Bay. He walked aimlessly along the riverbank into the depths of Qinglong Bay.
There was no one guarding the walls of the Zishan Villa. The light coming from inside was unusually dim, giving it an eerie feel. As one approached, one could faintly hear a woman's cries for help.
