Everyone told her that if she wanted to keep the baby, she had to learn to be strong.

She also knew she should persist, constantly telling herself that everything would be okay.

Until she saw Diwu Zexuan and Rui Hui, quarreling but caring for each other... Memories of Yu Xiuzhun instantly flashed into her mind, and she couldn’t shake them off.

"Ye Mingmei, in this life, besides me, don’t even think about anyone else!"

Such a similar sentence, but unfortunately, Rui Hui and Diwu Zexuan still had the chance to cherish each other, while she would never have the chance to hear it again.

The pain she had been suppressing at the bottom of her heart suddenly burst forth like a flood breaking through a dam.

Ye Mingmei slid down from the door, collapsed on the ground, clenching herself tightly, and cried out loud.

Yu Xiuzhun, where are you?

You said you would come back for me; you won’t lie to me, right?

The baby and I are waiting for you, no matter how long it takes, we will keep waiting...

She didn’t know how much time had passed before her emotions gradually calmed down. Remembering that she was pregnant, she quickly stood up from the ground, protecting her belly nervously.

Hearing a sound outside the door, she reached out to wipe away her tears and opened the door.

Facing Jin Chenye’s gentle eyes, she froze.

Her swollen eyes couldn’t hide the traces of tears.

Not to mention, Jin Chenye had been standing by the door since she started crying.

He listened for as long as she cried.

"I’m sorry, I..." 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"It’s okay to cry; crying will make you feel better. You don’t have to apologize to me."

Jin Chenye interrupted her, reaching out to wipe the tears from her eyes, "Living here, you can be yourself without any worries."

"Senior, I want to see Yu Xiuzhun. Can you help me?" Ye Mingmei suddenly looked up, pleading at him.

"..."

Jin Chenye paused, his eyes darting away.

Even his steps unconsciously retreated a bit, surprised as he looked at Ye Mingmei.

He knew that Ye Mingmei still refused to believe that Yu Xiuzhun was truly gone. Unless she saw the body, she wouldn’t give up.

At this moment, he should think of a way to create a fake body to convince Ye Mingmei to let go of the past and start anew.

But looking at her trusting eyes, he couldn’t lie.

"Yu Xiuzhun’s body has not been found at all; the surrounding sea areas have been searched, and there is still no news."

"You mean there’s a chance he might still be alive?" Ye Mingmei was stunned, a hint of joy quickly appearing in her eyes.

"Mingmei!" Jin Chenye placed his hands on her shoulders, applying slight pressure.

"Everyone didn’t want to tell you because they worried you’d react like this. Wake up, Yu Xiuzhun was shot and fell into the sea. After such a long time with no trace, he was most likely carried away by the current, or even eaten by fish... The chances of survival are nearly zero. You can’t live in self-deception!"

"..." Ye Mingmei’s body shook, her eyes slightly red.

She bit her lip to keep herself from crying aloud.

"I’m sorry, maybe I spoke too harshly. I just worry about you. Don’t let your mind wander." Jin Chenye pulled her into his arms, gently patting her back.

"Yu Xiuzhun’s body can’t be seen, but you can see his assistant. I heard he woke up today and just finished giving his statement."

"He woke up?" Ye Mingmei tightened her grip on Jin Chenye’s hand and looked up, "I want to see him."
