Late at night, the evening wind in Lanjiang City at the end of June was unbearably hot. Inside the black car, Qiao Mu's self-reproachful gaze passed through the window and looked in the direction of the 10th floor of the single apartment building. When the dim yellow light suddenly went out, a heavy sigh sounded in the car.
Qiao Mu knew that from the moment he helped Sheng Anran change the paternity test report, everything was irreparable. He could let himself be consigned to eternal damnation, but even now, he still wanted to protect Sheng Anran's safety.
As for all the sins, let him bear them.
After Ye Huanyan moved into Ji Xiaoyue's house, Sheng Anran and Ling Han once again appeared on the hot search headlines of major social media platforms, and the rumors of their impending marriage intensified.
Some people said that the new movie was a hype, while others said that good things were strewn with setbacks.
It was very common for a female celebrity to marry into a wealthy family in the entertainment industry, and Ling Han was a 'national husband' who changed girlfriends as easily as changing clothes. Despite several twists and turns in his relationship with Sheng Anran for more than a year, they were still together, which made many netizens think that perhaps it was true love.
Ye Huanyan watched the news of Sheng Anran holding Ling Han's arm and attending the movie opening ceremony on TV. Her eyes were dim, but there was no sadness or joy.
The doorbell rang for a long time before she came back to her senses. She was stunned for a moment before she got up to open the door.
Gu Liu stood at the door with a hesitant expression.
Ye Huanyan pursed her lips and said indifferently, "Assistant Gu, you're here."
Gu Liu came to find her the day after she moved here. He originally wanted to take her away, but she refused. Probably because of Gu Sinian's request, he didn't dare to slack off, so he came to see her regularly every day and brought some supplements. Every three days, he also brought a private doctor to check on her.
Ye Huanyan found it troublesome and declined several times, but he turned a deaf ear to it.
A mixed-blood female doctor in a professional suit, Grace, followed behind Gu Liu. She had long brown hair, deep eyes, and spoke very gently. She spoke in authentic Chinese. Gu Liu said that she was the Gu Family's private doctor and had recently received Gu Sinian's order to work in China.
"Miss Ye, it's time for a checkup today."
Ye Huanyan took a deep breath, nodded and stepped aside. "Assistant Gu, it's better if you don't come here in the future. You didn't tell Big Brother, did you?"
Gu Liu looked embarrassed. He looked back and nervously took a step back.
"Miss, why don't you explain to Young Master personally?"
Ye Huanyan was stunned for a few seconds before she saw a tall figure walk out from the shadows of the corridor. He stood in the doorway with a cold aura around him. There was a hint of anger in his eyes as he sized her up without blinking.
"Yan Yan, Gu Liu is my man. Do you think he will help you hide it from me?"
Gu Sinian had returned to Lanjiang City a week ago, and Ye Huanyan, Gu Liu, who had been taking care of Ye Huanyan, had already told him about it. He didn't come to see Ye Huanyan because he had confirmed that she was safe and sound, so he went to do other things first.
Ye Huanyan felt guilty under Gu Sinian's gaze. She called out softly, "Brother, you … when did you come back?"
"I came back a long time ago."
Gu Sinian glanced at her and strode into the apartment. Gu Sinian pulled out a chair for him to sit on. Grace had already set up all kinds of equipment in the bedroom and stood at the door, waiting for Gu Sinian's instructions.
"Let's do a checkup first."
Ye Huanyan sighed in relief and went straight into the bedroom. She closed the door and went to do a checkup with Grace.
"The child is a little underdeveloped. Miss Ye, you have to pay more attention to your diet and supplement it with dietary fiber. You can't always rely on drugs."
After the checkup, Grace tidied up at the side, while Ye Huanyan slowly buttoned up her clothes. She seriously remembered Grace's words in her mind.
After Grace went out to tell Gu Sinian about Ye Huanyan's physical condition, she was still dawdling in the bedroom.
Gu Liu glanced at the bedroom door and understood.
"Grace, let's go. I'll send you back first."
Gu Sinian was the only one left in the apartment.
"Do you plan to stay in the bedroom for the rest of your life?"
Gu Sinian's voice was a little cold, but there was no lack of concern and love for her.
Ye Huanyan was ten years younger than him. She was the little sister he had looked forward to for a long time when he was young. When he heard that his mother was pregnant at the age of ten, he hoped that it would be a girl. When the tests revealed that it was a girl, he was even happier for a long time. When he heard that his mother had given birth in China across the ocean, he even made a fuss and rushed over with his father.
What he received was news that the little miss of the Gu family had gone missing.
For the past twenty years, his little sister's disappearance had been a haze over the heads of the entire family. Although she was not by their side, she was a shadow that the entire Gu family yearned for day and night. In order to make up for the guilt in their hearts, the Gu family even adopted a girl who was born in the same year as Ye Huanyan and raised her at home.
She used the name that originally belonged to Ye Huanyan.
Gu Sinian was a little displeased at the thought of his' little sister 'at home. He frowned.
At this time, Ye Huanyan had already pushed open the bedroom door and walked out carefully. She said softly, "Brother, I'm actually not that bad. My body is fine, and the baby is fine too. When the baby is born, I'll go home with you."
"Why don't you go now?"
Gu Liu had told Ye Huanyan more than once that he could take her back now.
She had rejected him.
Ye Huanyan pursed her lips and did not speak, but her eyes betrayed her.
Gu Sinian frowned and said, "You're still thinking about him?"
"No …" Ye Huanyan denied. "I just want to wait until the baby is born and prove to him that this child is his and not someone else's. I can be wronged, but my child can't."
Hearing this, Gu Sinian was even more displeased. "You don't need to prove anything to him. In the eyes of the Gu family, Ling Han is just an ant. You are the Second Miss of the Gu family. You can do whatever you want. You don't need to explain yourself to anyone."
"Don't I need to explain myself to my child?"
Ye Huanyan's words made Gu Sinian's eyes flash with a trace of astonishment.
Ye Huanyan supported her waist and slowly walked in front of Gu Sinian. "Brother, I don't need to explain myself to anyone, including Ling Han. But I'm afraid that one day, my child will ask me who his father is. I know better than anyone else. Why should I let my child suffer this kind of injustice?"
Gu Sinian frowned and looked at Ye Huanyan. In the end, he took her hand and pulled her to sit beside him. He sighed and said, "You can do whatever you want. Mom and Dad were very happy when they heard that you were found. Mom wanted to come too, but you're already in a mess here, so she didn't want to add to the trouble. They're waiting for you to go back."
Gu Sinian felt his scalp go numb at the thought of his mother's personality. Fortunately, he didn't bring her here. Otherwise, he couldn't be sure what she would have done.
As they were talking, the sound of a key being inserted into the lock rang out. The axle of the door creaked and turned. Ji Xiaoyue's voice followed.
"Yan Yan, let's go out for dinner tonight …"
