At the entrance to the garden.

Whoosh.

An Xia secretly let out a sigh of relief. She stole a glance at him and couldn't help but ask, "When can we go back?"

Huo Jin Ze's eyes swept across her face, she really isn't suitable to live in this circle, look at her nervous appearance.

He raised his head and looked at the sky. The night was bright, and the sky was filled with countless stars. It was truly beautiful.

He turned his gaze back to the stars in the sky and asked in a deep voice, "Are you really pregnant?"

As he said this, he frowned slightly as if he had thought of something.

An Xia was silent for a moment before she truthfully replied, "I don't know."

"I don't know."

Huo Jin Ze inexplicably asked.

An Xia was even more certain of her thoughts. She should be happy that she didn't need to help him give birth to a child, right?

Why did she...

She would never guess the light sorrow between his brows.

He didn't want her to have children — but with children, was he going to keep his contract and let her go?

He didn't want to.

After dinner, there was also a ball that had already been arranged.

An Xia's man, Huo Jinze, didn't stay in the garden for even half an hour before he was called away.

She did not want to chat with people she did not know at the party. She could only leisurely enjoy the scenery in the garden.

She was sitting on a swing in the garden, bored. Suddenly, the figure of a woman appeared in front of her. She raised her head, and a look of surprise flashed across her eyes. It was her?!

The main character of the banquet, Huo Jingwen!

Huo Jingwen had a cute baby face, and at this moment, her face looked anxious.

She frowned as she walked in front of her and anxiously asked, "You are An Xia, right?

"I am … Why are you …"

Before she could finish, Huo Jingwen hastily interrupted her. Her face seemed to have something very urgent. "Follow me quickly!"

Huo Jin Ze?

An Xia subconsciously refused, "If there's nothing important, can I just not go over?"

"My brother, he …" "He …"

"Huo Jin Ze?"

An Xia couldn't help but raise his heart when he saw her expression. With an anxious tone, he asked, "What's wrong with him?"

"My brother's old habit is to call you by your name all the time. He's in the garage and he doesn't look good. That's why I came to find you. Quickly go and see him! "

After saying that, she eagerly stepped forward and grabbed An Xia's hand.

In An Xia's mind, the image of Huo Jinze clutching his chest in pain suddenly appeared, she had seen it once before.

She complied without thinking, and the two hurriedly ran towards the garage. Although An Xia's feet were injured, she still left Huo Jingwen, who was walking in front of her, behind.

Huo Jingwen was stunned. Didn't they say she didn't want to go? Why was she running faster than her?

Looking at her anxious expression, it was as if something huge had happened. It seemed that her elder brother's position in this woman's heart was of great importance.

That's right, his brother was so handsome. Which woman wouldn't be so handsome?

The two of them endured until they finally arrived at the garage. An Xia hurriedly went inside, but couldn't find Huo Jin Ze's figure.

She frowned strangely and turned around to look at him. "Why aren't you here?"

"Maybe they took him somewhere else."

Huo Jingwen anxiously walked forward and pointed at the warehouse not far away. "Let's go take a look!"

An Xia had some doubts in his heart. Why would he go there?

However, An Nai couldn't suppress the anxiety and worry in her heart. Without thinking, she went out to follow her.

She quickly overtook Huo Jingwen who was walking in front of her, and rushed into the warehouse in a hurry, "Huo Jin Ze! Huo Jin Ze? "

Her eyes searched the surroundings for the handsome figure. He's not here?

Frowning, she turned around and was about to ask when she suddenly heard a "bang" sound of the door closing.

An Xia turned around in surprise, seeing that the door to the warehouse was tightly shut.

Her heart was filled with doubt, but just as she was in a daze, the sound of chains came from the door.

"Miss Huo?"

An Xia called out her name, but there was no response from outside the door. It seemed like she was already gone?

"Miss Huo! Huo Jingwen? "

She called out a few more times, but still no one answered.

The storage space in the warehouse wasn't small, but the surroundings were dark. The only thing that could let in a little bit of moonlight was the door, and it was even closed.

She took out her cell phone and looked at the ceiling of the garage. There was a light.

She timidly strode around the warehouse searching for something. Just as she was about to reach the entrance, her eyes lit up. As expected, she saw the switch.

The fear in her heart eased slightly, and her fingers tapped the switch once, twice, three times. It was still pitch black.

How could it be broken?

Was it originally like this, or did Huo Jingwen, who just locked her up here, break?

"Squeak squeak squeak …" "Squeak squeak squeak …"

Ah!

The sound of a mouse suddenly rang out in the pitch-black space. It was so scared that it loosened its grip and the phone in its hand fell to the ground.

Since young, An Xia's greatest fear was mice, which reminded him of those bad memories from back then.

Back then, when she was often locked in a suburban room by her stepmother, she was hungry and cold and could hear nothing but the squeaking of rats in the dark night, just as she was now.

She no longer cared about her cellphone. She panicked and didn't know where to hide. It was as if it wasn't safe to hide in this dark storage room.

She tripped over a stool, but still ended up knocking against her injured ankle. The pain made her grimace.

Without caring about the pain, the squeaking sound seemed to be right behind her, scaring her so much that she hurriedly stood up from her chair and went to stand on top of it.

"Huo Jin Ze, where are you? Come and save me! "

She was scared out of her wits, so she cowered on the chair and buried her head between her legs.

She didn't notice in the slightest that when she was at her most afraid, the first person she thought of was Huo Jin Ze, but he wasn't the one who was always nice to her.

Ye Ting was the person who treated her the most.

She didn't know either. She only knew that when she thought of that man's stern face, the fear in her heart would gain a sliver of comfort.

After a long while, the creaking in her ears gradually disappeared. Only then did she slowly recover from her fear.

She carefully got down from the chair and used her senses to find the location of her phone. Every step she took was filled with fear, as if she was afraid of disturbing the mouse.

After fumbling around for more than ten minutes, her fingers touched a hard object. Surprised, she picked up her phone and lit up the flashlight on her phone.

At this moment, the sound of light footsteps came from outside the door. She was overjoyed as she rushed to the door. She didn't seem to be afraid of startling mice anymore as she slammed her palm on the metal door.

"Is anyone outside? Help! I'm locked in here! Please open the door for me! "

However, the sound of footsteps outside the door didn't answer her.
