"The Song family went bankrupt, and you weren't here."

"I was pregnant, and you weren't here."

"I had a miscarriage, and you were still not here."

The woman's crying and complaining rang in his ears, causing Gu Tinglin to open his eyes in a daze and stare at the woman in front of him in astonishment.

Seeing the woman's appearance clearly, his pupils suddenly widened in shock.

The woman was young and beautiful, wearing the latest season of Chanel, with exquisite makeup, and even her tears did not ruin her makeup.

She was really young, only in her early twenties.

Gu Tinglin had a splitting headache, and his whole body was spinning. How did he appear here?

The four children had grown up, and each of them was outstanding and good-looking.

But in the blink of an eye, he went back to decades ago?

Song Yaling grabbed Gu Tinglin's arm, her eyes full of resentment and sadness, "Now I'm getting married, I hope you're still not here."

The same words, the same scene, were played out decades ago.

The sun shone on his body, and his shadow on the ground was

tall and slender. He raised his hand, which had old hair, but was young and wrinkle-free.

Gu Tinglin wondered, was this an illusion before his death, or did he have regrets and return to his youth?

His daughter and son-in-law were both excellent, and his grandchildren were also well-educated. He should have no regrets...

No, he still had regrets.

He owed Jiang Ning.

He had reflected countless times that if he had been more careful at the time, Jiang Ning would not have grown up in an orphanage and experienced so much suffering.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Song Yaling was very panicked, afraid that he would pester her and let the Chen family discover the truth she was hiding. Then not only would the marriage be cancelled, she would also become a laughing stock in the circle, and the Song family's business would go bankrupt.

She gritted her teeth secretly and gently stroked her flat belly, "I'm pregnant, but the child is not yours."

Her words were like thunder, which broke the defense of Gu Tinglin, who was full of confidence at the time.

The mission was urgent and confidential, and it lasted for a year. He didn't even have his injuries healed yet, and he rushed to see her as soon as he returned.

The special job did wrong her.

But long before the relationship was confirmed, he mentioned it to her again and again, and she said it didn't matter and she could wait for him to come back.

He came back and bought an engagement ring.

But the answer she got was not what she wanted.

Self-blame, reflection, let her give a chance...

But that was a lifetime ago, now Gu Tinglin has long been calm.

When he learned the truth, he complained and repented, but he felt more guilty and self-blame.

Gu Tinglin grabbed Song Yaling's hand and moved it away from his arm inch by inch, calmly without any emotion, "Okay."

Song Yaling's tears were still rolling, and his decisive answer surprised her on the spot, "Tinglin, I..."

She fell in love with him at first sight, as passionate as a moth to a flame, thinking that as long as they loved each other, they could overcome everything, so she was brave enough to ignore the consequences.

But reality gave her a hard blow, it turned out that she was so naive.

Gu Tinglin could not solve the difficulties of the Song family.

His love for her could not change anything.

Song Yaling was very sad, even if she said the words of breaking up cruelly, she still loved him.

She could fool others, but she couldn't fool herself.

She thought he would be in agony and would keep her regardless of the consequences. She would ask her what happened and that he would help her solve all the problems. They would never be separated, even if he had to hold her tightly. But she didn't expect him to be so decisive. He

was so rational that it was scary.

Did he really... love her?

Song Yaling was unwilling and even a little angry. She blurted out the accusation, "My family encountered difficulties. When I needed you the most, I couldn't find you at all."

The past was gone. Gu Tinglin didn't want to listen anymore, let alone explain. "Sorry."

He just wanted to leave early and find his daughter who was cruelly abandoned in an orphanage by her. He

didn't want to delay even a minute.

This time, he would not miss his daughter's growth again.

He would protect her well and stop her from suffering the cruelty of her past life.

However, his words angered Song Yaling, "Gu Tinglin, have you really loved me?"

If she had a choice, she would not have chosen the path of marriage.

He could not empathize with her pain at all.

Why did she have to bear all the bitter fruits, and he was so calm even when they broke up, as if he was facing a stranger without any feelings.

She was his girlfriend and gave birth to a daughter for him after ten months of pregnancy.

How could he let her down?

Ridiculous, she only saw everything clearly today, he never loved her at all!

Not at all!

Facing her questioning, Gu Tinglin was still calm, "You are pregnant with someone else's child and are about to get married. Does it matter whether I loved you or not?"

Important! Very important!

Because she still loves him!

But Song Yaling couldn't say it.

She suddenly hated him and felt that she was stupid and not worth it at all in the past.

How could he... play with her feelings.

Song Yaling raised her hand and slapped Gu Tinglin hard.

Gu Tinglin did not dodge and took the slap.

He thought he owed her, thanking her for giving birth to the most lovely and heartwarming daughter.

"You...you bastard!"

Song Yaling burst into tears and turned away.

Thinking of her fate in her previous life, Gu Tinglin stopped her, "You take care of yourself."

Song Yaling became even angrier and got into a red sports car and drove away.

Gu Tinglin took out the engagement ring from his pocket and threw it into the trash can on the side of the road without hesitation.

He took a taxi and went straight to the orphanage where his daughter was.

Arriving at the orphanage, Gu Tinglin was extremely anxious, "I'm here to find my daughter, Jiang Ning."

Jiang Ning? The staff was surprised, "There is no child named Jiang Ning here."

How could there be no child!

The information could not be wrong, and Jiang Ning herself said that she grew up in this orphanage.

What went wrong?

Gu Tinglin quickly calmed down, thinking that he was misled by Song Yaling and was careless for a moment.

Song Yaling deliberately said that she was pregnant in order to break up. At this time, Jiang Ning should have been sent here only a few months ago, and it is possible that she had not yet been named.

He calculated the time, "A baby girl about three months old, with a jade pendant on her body when she was sent here."

Gu Tinglin described the appearance of the jade pendant, and the staff quickly got the impression, and opened their mouths and scolded him, "What's wrong with you as parents? You just throw away your own child, she is not a cat or a dog, you really have no sense of responsibility..."

He apologized repeatedly and spent a lot of time explaining.

Children in an orphanage cannot be taken away just like that.

To say that a child is your own, you need evidence.

"The child is really mine. If you don't believe me, we can do a paternity test."

Gu Tinglin was taken to the director's office and told the whole story again. He asked with great expectation: "Director, can I see the child?"

The director considered and refused again and again, "We will arrange it after the paternity test is correct."

Gu Tinglin was anxious but it was useless. The orphanage had its own concerns. He had to draw blood and wait for the results. "Is the child okay?"

"The child is very healthy, you don't have to worry."

Seeing the appraisal report, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The process was completed quickly, and Gu Tinglin saw Jiang Ning, who was sleeping soundly in the crib.

He gently picked up the little girl and smiled sincerely: "Aning, Daddy is here."

Gu Tinglin kissed her on the cheek.

The baby girl was awakened, her dark eyes stared at Gu Tinglin, and then she giggled.

Gu Tinglin's heart was warmed, and this time it was his turn to protect her.

With 19 more years of preparation time, he believed that humans can better survive natural disasters.
