What's going on?
Su Ping blinked, somewhat bewildered.
"Pingping, it's all Dad's fault for being too busy with work and neglecting to take care of you."
Su Zhinan looked at his daughter, who had grown into a young woman, and sighed heavily again.
"The baby in your belly..."
Su Zhinan's gaze shifted downwards and landed on Su Ping's stomach.
Feeling guilty, Su Ping instinctively covered her stomach.
However, in Su Zhinan's eyes, this action was seen as her being afraid of herself.
Considering that she only had one daughter, Su Zhinan ultimately chose to respect her decision.
"Pingping, don't be afraid. If you really like this child, then give birth to it!"
Su Zhinan's words were like a muffled thunderclap, exploding directly in Su Ping's mind.
"As long as your father is around, no outsider will dare to say anything to you."
“But you are my only daughter. Xiao Song is a decent boy. If he is willing to marry into the family, I am willing to teach him how to manage the company…”
Su Zhinan thought he had been very tactful, after all, given Song Qi's family situation, he was really worried about marrying his daughter off to them.
Upon hearing that Su Zhinan was already considering taking Song Qi as his son-in-law, Su Ping instinctively shook her head and refused: "No way!"
It was already a misunderstanding, and she was still thinking about how to find an excuse to accidentally miscarry the "baby" in her belly. If Song Qi were involved, she would be completely disoriented.
Seeing her resolute attitude, Su Zhinan was stunned for a moment. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but found that he didn't know what to say.
Both sets of parents have been aware of their daughter's feelings for Xu Yichen over the years. Now that she is giving up the marriage because of the child in her womb, she must be feeling incredibly sad.
And at this moment, he was urging her to be with Xiao Song...
Su Zhinan felt a little guilty and patted Su Ping's hair, saying, "Okay, Dad respects your choice. It's getting late, you should go upstairs and rest."
Su Ping breathed a sigh of relief, got up, clutched her stomach, and pretended to walk towards the stairs.
Su Zhinan watched her figure disappear around the corner of the stairs, then turned his gaze back to the teapot on the table.
He decided to find a time to invite Xiao Song to his home for a proper talk. After all, he was the father of Pingping's unborn child, and he had the right to know.
Su Ping, who had just pushed open the door, suddenly sneezed and felt a chill on her back.
Could it be that the cold wind blew when you got off the bus?
After a night of tossing and turning, she was exhausted.
She grabbed her nightgown and headed towards the bathroom. When she had unbuttoned the dress halfway down, something fell from her waist.
Under the light, the little thing emitted faint blue light.
Su Ping bent down and picked it up from the ground. When she opened it in her palm, she realized that it was the blue earring that had been taken from Tu Hengchuan's ear.
How could she forget to return it?
Thinking of how much Tu Hengchuan valued this blue earring, she disregarded her half-undone dress and hurriedly returned to her bedroom to find a small box to put the blue earring in her palm.
After taking a shower and quickly drying her hair, she went straight to bed and fell asleep.
In her dream, she seemed to hear the sound of the wind rustling through the trees.
When I opened my eyes, I found myself standing on a mountaintop, with a man in front of me, his back to me, fiddling with something.
That figure from behind felt strangely familiar.
As the lights came on, the man turned around and looked over.
When Su Ping saw Tu Hengchuan's face, she was startled and immediately realized that she must be dreaming.
Why is Tu Hengchuan such a persistent ghost? She can't even sleep peacefully.
Seeing that the atmosphere was just right, Tu Hengchuan stepped forward and knelt down in front of her.
His eyes were full of love as he looked at her: "Pingping, I love you. Will you marry me?"
After saying that, he took a small box out of his pocket.
Su Ping wanted to speak, but found that she couldn't move and could only watch helplessly as Tu Hengchuan opened the small box.
Inside the box was another blue earring, clearly a pair with the one he was wearing.
At this moment, Su Ping felt herself slowly detach from her body, watching as that version of herself walked indifferently to Tu Hengchuan and then took the earring from Tu Hengchuan's hand.
Under Tu Hengchuan's expectant gaze, she saw "herself" give a cold smile, and the blue earring in her hand fell directly to the ground.
"It's too late."
She heard "herself" softly utter those two words, and then Tu Hengchuan's expression gradually darkened. He looked down in disbelief to pick up the earring from the ground.
Then, with the smile he had agreed upon, he held the earring in front of "himself" as if it were his heart, his eyes filled with reverence.
Su Ping was dumbfounded. Although she knew she was dreaming, she never expected Tu Hengchuan to have this side to him.
To be honest, she enjoyed watching it.
But I also had a strange feeling. This scene was so real, so real, that it felt like it had actually happened.
Su Ping clutched her heart, feeling its pounding.
At that moment, she seemed to see "herself" take the blue earring and then look up in her direction.
The moment Su Ping met the gaze of "herself," a sense of fear suddenly arose in her heart. The feeling of being watched made her suddenly unable to breathe.
She clutched her chest tighter and looked up again, only to find that the scene had vanished, leaving her alone on the mountaintop.
The feeling that she was the only person left in the world was as if she had always been alone from beginning to end.
Why is she here? How can she leave?
Just then, she heard a voice beside her—her own voice.
"Haven't you remembered yet?"
Her heart skipped a beat. She turned her head and found that "she" had somehow appeared beside her, looking at her with a sorrowful expression.
What should I remember?
Su Ping asked the question subconsciously, but saw the "self" opposite her shake her head and smile bitterly, and then her body gradually became transparent.
Before her body became completely transparent, Su Ping's sense of panic intensified.
For some reason, she had a premonition that if she couldn't remember certain things, she would also disappear little by little, just like the "self" in front of her.
Who are you?!
What responded to her was her completely transparent "self," and the echo of her own voice from the mountaintop.
A wave of pain washed over her, and Su Ping suddenly opened her eyes, only to find herself rolled off the bed.
Thankfully, it was just a dream...
Su Ping patted her chest to comfort herself, but she froze when she saw the blue earring on the bedside table.
Is it really just a dream?
