Yu Huan lifted her head and looked deeply at the astonished Yu Jin. She seemed to know that she had said something wrong and quickly covered her mouth with her hand.

"Feng, you have to help your brother-in-law." Chu Lan held Chu Yufeng's hand and pleaded with a worried look on his face.

Chu Yufeng raised his head to look at Yu Chenlei with a taunting smile. "I can't interfere in this matter. Besides, it's a hidden danger that was planted twenty years ago. What can I do to help?"

Yu Huan looked at them strangely. She didn't understand what they were talking about. What did they mean by 'hidden danger' from twenty years ago? What time was it?

"This is all my fault. I brought this upon myself, even without anyone's help." Yu Chen Bao looked at Yu Huan. The sadness in her eyes was obvious. She sighed deeply and continued speaking.

"Huanhuan, I just hope that you won't misjudge me and miss out on your life."

Yu Huan's mouth quivered as something flashed through her mind, but it was too fast and she wasn't able to grasp it. Just what was going on?

Yu Chenlei let out a deep sigh and went upstairs alone. Only then did Yu Huan notice the newspaper on the tea table. The headline was the investigation order for illegal goods of her company.

How could their company's stuff be illegal? She turned her gaze to Chu Yufeng. He was looking at her with suspicion in his eyes.

"The ring on your finger …" Aunt Lan pointed at the ring on Yu Huan's finger with a surprised expression.

Yu Huan was stunned for a moment, and the Rose Flower Ring appeared in front of them, "Aunt Lan, you recognize this ring too?"

"How could I not recognize the ring that has been passed down from generation to generation in the Ming family?" Aunt Lan sighed deeply and looked away. Her eyes were full of unwillingness. She had never thought that the ring from the Ming family would be on her hand.

After returning to her room, Yu Huan felt exhausted and fell asleep. When she woke up, the sky was already dark.

She went downstairs and was surprised to find that she was alone in the house.

"Elder sister." A weak voice came from behind her.

She turned around and looked at Yu Jin who was standing behind her. With a raise of her eyebrows, she asked, "Why is it only the two of us in the house now?"

"Mom and Dad went out because of something, and Uncle also left." As Yu Jin spoke to here, she carefully sized up Yu Huan's expression.

After hearing that Chu Yufeng had left, Yu Huan heaved a sigh of relief. The devil had finally left and it would be best if he never returned.

"Elder sister seems to have a good relationship with uncle." Yu Jin asked tentatively.

Yu Huan's expression changed as she frowned and looked at Yu Jin. She felt a wave of boredom and didn't want others to put her together with Chu Yufeng.

"I'm fine." As she finished speaking, she walked down the stairs. Right at that moment, her phone rang. Yu Huan frowned as she looked at the unfamiliar number. Her first reaction was Chu Yufeng. He answered the call after a while.

"Yu Huan, it's Gu Dong Cheng."

With one sentence, all the nervousness in her heart was dispelled. She smiled and asked, "Little Ze, is there something you need?"

"I'm outside your door. Can I come out for a moment?"

Yu Huan subconsciously cast her gaze outside the door as a thick smile appeared on her face, "Alright, I'll be going now."

She hurried downstairs, her face brimming with uncontrollable joy. This was the first time he had called her, and he had thought he would never contact her again.

At the staircase, Yu Jin stood at the side and watched Yu Huan happily leave. A trace of viciousness flashed across her eyes as she clenched her fists.

Outside, a brand-new Audi was parked, its windows open, one smoking hand leaning against the window.

With her hands behind her back, Yu Huan walked closer and softly said, "Little Ze."

Gu Dong Cheng pushed open the car door and crushed out the smoke. He wore a formal French handmade suit and stood in front of Yu Huan. His deep black eyes seemed to be covered with a mysterious layer of gauze, making him appear mysterious.

"Miss Yu, are we going for a walk?" he asked, strange and unfamiliar.

The happy expression on Yu Huan's face instantly dimmed. She couldn't stand his alienation any longer and raised her head to look into his eyes.

The two of them seemed to be separated by a whole world. They were so far away that they lost their initial passion. Their dim eyes drooped down as they nodded.

Gu Dong Cheng drove and looked out of the corner of his eyes at the woman sitting beside him. She obediently lowered her head and placed her hands by her sides. However, he easily noticed her disappointment.

Was this woman's disappointment due to his estrangement from her? Ye Zichen's expression turned darker, but he slightly exerted some force on the steering wheel.

"He didn't do anything to you that day, did he?" Gu Dongcheng awkwardly asked.

Yu Huan's pupils constricted for a moment. Only now did she realize that Gu Dong Cheng should have known from the very beginning who it was that had intercepted her that day!

"Do you know it?" Yu Huan asked, somewhat out of control.

Gu Dong Cheng didn't answer and just parked his car to the side. He alighted from the station and walked over to the railing of the bridge, letting the sea breeze blow against him. His entire being seemed to have become one with the darkness, like a dejected pool of ocean water.

Yu Huan got off the car. A cold wind blew, causing her to shiver. She tightened her clothes, but lost the courage to question him.

Perhaps it was all a coincidence, all a coincidence. After all, Gu Dongcheng didn't have any motive for doing so. How could he give her to Chu Yufeng for no reason at all?

Right, this must all be a coincidence. She stood behind Gu Dong Cheng, slightly closing her eyes to console herself, as the cold wind practically blew through her entire body. Suddenly, her body warmed up, and a faint smell of smoke assaulted her.

She opened her eyes and looked at the man standing across from her. He gently held her in his arms, warming her.

"Little... "Little Ze." She called out his name in a questioning voice, wondering at his gesture. Why did he suddenly hug her?

"Little one, do you remember why I called you that? "Because when you were young, you really liked to cry. Every time, I was the one who coaxed you. If not, you wouldn't stop crying." The corners of Gu Dongcheng's mouth curled up, his expression carrying a pampering look.

Yu Huan was stunned for a moment, as if she had really returned to being a child. The corners of her eyes couldn't help but moisten. She couldn't figure out what he meant or why she suddenly mentioned her childhood.

"At that time, I secretly swore to myself that I would never let Little Wa cry again. I will protect her forever by her side." After he finished speaking, a mocking smile appeared on his face. At that time, he was too young, so how could he understand?

"You, what do you mean?" Yu Huan's eyes widened as she asked with doubt written all over her face. Her cheeks were flushed red and the temperature on her face had risen. She became nervous as she looked forward to his next reply.

He lowered his head to look at the woman in his embrace, whose face was filled with anticipation. It was as if his heart was being grabbed by an invisible hand, causing him to feel suffocated.

"No, I'm just sighing. We've all grown up now." He turned his face away, looked away, and took off his coat and put it on her.

Yu Huan lowered her head. There was an unconcealable disappointment in her eyes. How could he know that he had lived in her heart for so many years?

She took the initiative to hold Gu Dongcheng's hand and softly asked, "Little Ze, so now you're …?" What did it feel like?

"So it turns out that he has already sought you out."

"He really has already identified you. When I was young, I thought he was just being a playboy, but it turns out …" A wry smile appeared on his lips as he let go of her hand. "How about we go have a drink?"

For a moment, Yu Huan didn't know what to say. She could only nod her head and follow him into the car. However, she discovered that the feeling of him intentionally leaving her was getting stronger and stronger.

Within the seductive bar, after drinking a cup of wine, Yu Huan felt her entire body warming up. She looked at the man beside her, who was calmly drinking. It was unknown what his deep eyes were thinking about.

It seemed that when he was with her, Gu Dongcheng was usually very quiet, as if there were many things on his mind, as if he was really unfamiliar with her.

The more she thought about it, the more depressed she became. Yu Huan drank the wine in big gulps. After so many years, her previous feeling had faded and she was becoming more and more unfamiliar with it.

"Why are you drinking so much?" After the bottle of wine was taken away, Gu Dongcheng placed a hand on her cheek and looked at her affectionately with a gaze filled with both struggle and helplessness.

"I'm not in a good mood." Yu Huan mumbled. She wanted to grab the bottle of wine beside her, but he stopped her.

Gu Dongcheng looked deeply at her and his expression became helpless. He held the half-drunk Gu Qishao in his arms and whispered into her ear, "If my appearance causes you any trouble, then I'll choose to leave."

"Little Ze, why are you so cold to me? "Why?" Yu Huan narrowed her eyes and patted him. A sour feeling assaulted her heart. She could not help but sniff her nose as her eyes reddened.

Gu Dongcheng looked at the woman in his arms and picked her up by the waist, softly saying, "Little Wa, I wish we had never met each other before. Otherwise, there's no need to be so heartbroken."

Gu Dongcheng carried her out of the bar. A flash of light flashed, and his brows knitted slightly. He shot a sharp glare into the darkness, then got in his car and left.

In the car, Yu Huan mumbled softly as if blaming him for her indifference. The corner of Gu Dongcheng's mouth curled up helplessly as her gaze landed on the ring on her finger.

It seemed like Xuan had already decided that it would be better this way. At the very least, Xuan wouldn't bully her. His mind was thinking of another man.

The game had just started, who knew what the final outcome would be? However, he was certain of one thing. This woman would not be his.

The wry smile on his face became deeper and deeper. He touched her cheek and his eyes were full of love. He was a selfish person. Once he got what he wanted, he would give up on something else.

After sleeping for a while, Yu Huan drowsily opened her eyes and half sat up. She couldn't help but frown as she looked at an unfamiliar place. Her head was hurting severely.

The clear sound of flowing water entered her ears as she widened her eyes in astonishment. Wasn't she drinking with Gu Dongcheng? Why did he come to this place?

She looked around. It seemed to be a hotel. At that moment, the sound of water in the bathroom suddenly stopped. She quickly laid back down and pretended that she was still awake.

However, she couldn't help but feel nervous. Being in the same room with Little Ze was enough to make one's heart race. She bit her lips and her cheeks became redder and redder.

The sound of footsteps came to a stop in front of her. Yu Huan subconsciously held her breath and did not dare to breathe out loud for fear of being discovered by him.

"You're awake?" A voice as calm as water rang out, carrying a trace of a gentle smile.

"How do you know?" "Yes!" Yu Huan answered subconsciously. She opened her eyes and looked into those smiling eyes. Her heart skipped a beat and her cheeks became hotter.

"Idiot, you're so nervous you don't even know how to breathe." Gu Dongcheng used a towel to wipe his hair before casually sitting in a chair to the side. With a smile, he said, "You were drunk, so I had no choice but to bring you here."

"Hm, how embarrassing." She pursed her lips. She actually got drunk in front of Little Ze. This was too embarrassing.

"From now on, don't drink too much." He placed a small cell phone in front of her and said, "He called. Do you want to return the call?"

Yu Huan's expression changed. She frowned and quickly asked, "Who?"

"Chu Yufeng." Gu Dong Cheng said softly. He placed the phone in her hand, turned around, and walked onto the balcony to avoid her.

The expression on Yu Huan's face changed. Her hand that was holding the phone became stiff as she flipped through the record. She didn't even register Chu Yufeng's name. How did he know?

Her head hurt even more, but at that moment, the phone rang again. She accidentally pressed the answer button and a loud roar rang out.

"Stupid girl!" Where the hell did you run off to? "
