Under the bright and clear moonlight, the diamond shined brilliantly like crystal. Tang Hongbo placed it in his hand, then turned and walked towards the bedside.

Tang Hongbo quietly walked over, and then gently held her hand. Seeing that her slender fingers were empty, he couldn't help but feel a sense of guilt in his heart.

Love was always like this, always ignoring everything else, just like how he was willing to do anything for Duan Wenyu, regardless of anything.

He gazed at her sleeping face, then lowered his head and kissed the ring on her ring finger. This ring was originally meant to be worn during the marriage proposal ceremony, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen.

He even thought that if such a thing happened again, he didn't know if he would be able to accept it. Losing her would be equivalent to taking his life.

The dark night was always very mysterious. Tang Hongbo lied on his bed as his mind was filled with the events of the day. Even though he was very tired, he wasn't sleepy at all.

He thought that Duan Wenzhuo's disappearance would have something to do with Sima Yun, but now that he thought about it, there must have been someone who wanted to use this matter to deepen the conflict between the Tang Clan and Sima Clan.

Now that he understood, the first person he thought of was Rong Xuan.

To him, it was easy to obtain the spare key to his room in the hotel. The Rong Family held all the big and small hotels in the city, from low to high class. This difficulty was nothing to him.

But was it really just for that?

This doesn't conform with his style of doing things at all, Tang Hongbo silently thought in his heart.

But no matter who it was, he did not manage to hurt Duan Wenzhuo in the end. This point, he was still comforted by her words, as he did not know if this matter had anything to do with Duan Wenyu, but he did not want to pursue this matter right now, because as long as Duan Wenzhuo was still well, he would hand everything over to the police.

All these years, the only person he cared about was only Duan Wenzhuo. If something really happened to her, he would spare no expense for the entire Tang Family.

However, if Duan Wenyu was truly related to this matter, he definitely wouldn't have forgiven her. His father said that he was the one who carried Duan Wenyu on his shoulders, but in fact, two years ago, if she hadn't left without permission.

This kind of situation was all caused by her, so it couldn't be blamed on anyone. The left and right of Duan Wenzhuo was now his wife, the woman he viewed as his own life.

To him, Duan Wenyu was just a stranger. However, as long as she didn't do anything to Duan Wen Wen, he could make her his friend.

Before, he thought the person he loved was Duan Wenyu, but only later did he realize how wrong she was. Before he met Duan Wenzhuo, he felt that love was nothing more than mediocre, but now, he knew what it felt like.

The sky gradually turned white, and only then did Tang Hongbo slowly fall asleep.

He knew that there would be even more difficult things to do after dawn. Yesterday, he publicly said in front of the reporters that the Sima family would definitely not let this matter rest.

However, since he dared to say so, it meant that he was mentally prepared. This was a tough battle that he had to fight.

Just like that, a ray of sunlight trickled through the gaps between the curtains. Before the person on the bed had woken up, a gust of wind blew by and the fragrance of flowers drifted in the air.

Duan Wenzhuo slowly opened his eyes. The fragrance of the flowers in the early morning carried a hint of dew. Duan Wenzhuo turned his head to look at Tang Hongbo and saw that he was still sleeping.

She couldn't help but smile. She wanted to reach out and touch his face, but when she saw the item on the ring finger, she stopped mid-air.

Her eyes widened, and she withdrew her hand. This ring?

She looked at Tang Hongbo who was still awake. Looking at the ring, she felt a warm feeling in her heart, not because of how expensive this diamond ring was.

It was because of her feelings and her emotions. She thought that she would never wear a ring in her life, but she never expected that he would actually think of it.

Originally, she thought he had forgotten, because she had forgotten that after marrying him for so long, she didn't even have a diamond ring.

But now, she suddenly felt a sweet and sour feeling in her heart.

Why did he have to give her such a touching feeling when she made such a decision? It was as if there was something that was quietly changing overnight.

She wanted to leave, for Duan Wenyu, and herself, but she looked at Tang Hongbo, not knowing whether to leave or not. At this moment, she was at a loss once again.

The breakfast was very bountiful, but Duan Wenzhuo felt it was a little strange. Usually, this kind of breakfast would only be like this when Duan Wenyu was here.

Duan Wenzhuo was a little confused at first, but when she suddenly saw Duan Wenyu coming out from the kitchen with the porridge, she finally understood what was going on.

"Wenzhuo, you're awake?" Duan Wenyu said very naturally, and then she placed the porridge in her hands on the table.

"Sister Wenyu, why are you here?" Duan Wenzhuo had not seen her for a while, and now that he saw her, he couldn't help but be happy.

"Right, what, you don't welcome me?" Duan Wenyu laughed.

"How could that be? It's too late for me to welcome you." Duan Wenzhuo said with a smile.

"That's good. Look, I made your favorite seafood congee. Also, your favorite dessert. Eat more later on." Duan Wenyu smiled.

Duan Wenyu nodded.

"Then you sit down, I'll go to the kitchen and have a look." Duan Wenyu said with a smile.

Duan Wenzhuo laughed, and then sat down. Seeing Duan Wenyu turn around and enter the kitchen, she could not help but feel displeasure in her heart.

Not only did Duan Wenyu not bother about the matter between her and Tang Hongbo, she even took care of her in such a way.

She sat in front of the dining table, unconsciously twirling the ring on her ring finger. The moment she saw Duan Wenyu, her heart wavered.

"Madam, what are you thinking about so early on? Why are you so lost in thought?" Aunt Liu came out of the kitchen smiling. Seeing the dazed Duan Wenzhuo, he could not help but ask.

Duan Wenzhuo was stunned as she shook her head with a smile.

"Oh, madam, this diamond ring is so pretty. Is it a gift from mister?" Aunt Liu put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hand, looked at Duan Wenzhuo's hand and laughed.

"Ah, yes? "Thank you." Duan Wenzhuo also laughed.

"What is it? It's so pretty!" Suddenly, Duan Wenyu's voice cut in.

Duan Wenzhuo was startled for a moment, and then, instantly hid her hands behind her back, as if she was afraid that she would see them.

"Nothing."

However, Duan Wenyu, with her sharp eyes, had already seen the dazzling diamond on Duan Wenzhuo's hand, which was clenched into a fist under her long sleeves.

It was just a diamond ring, after going through so much, did she still care about it? Even though he thought this in his heart, his hand that was hidden under his sleeve clenched tighter and tighter.

"Then, let's eat." Duan Wenyu suddenly pretended to be relaxed as she said this.

"Alright." Duan Wenzhuo also laughed.

"Oh right, where's Hongbo?" Duan Wenyu acted as if she did not care and asked.

"He, he's still sleeping." Duan Wenzhuo replied a little awkwardly.

Duan Wenyu's expression did not change as she nodded her head. She did not seem to care much on the surface, but she was already hating her in her heart.

This should have been her lines, but her wrong thoughts created this situation. She hated Duan Wenzhuo, and also hated herself.

Duan Wenzhuo did not eat much in the morning, but for the sake of the child in her womb, she ate a lot. Just as breakfast was about to end, Tang Hongbo slowly walked down the stairs.

When she saw Duan Wenyu, she became completely cold and detached.

"Why are you here?" Tang Hongbo's eyes became even colder.

"Hongbo, you're up?" Duan Wenyu turned a deaf ear to his words and continued to smile.

Tang Hongbo ignored Duan Wenyu's words and directly walked towards Duan Wenzhuo. He walked to Duan Wenzhuo's side and sat down, then acted as if he did not see him.

She then picked up the congee in front of Duan Wenzhuo and gently fed it into her mouth.

"Did you not eat again?" Tang Hongbo's words carried a gentle reprimand.

Duan Wenzhuo was once very embarrassed. She looked at Duan Wenyu and saw the smile on her face.

"No, I've already finished eating. I don't want to eat anymore." Duan Wenzhuo said as she frowned.

"Be good and take another bite." Tang Hongbo said as he raised his hand.

Of course Duan Wenyu knew that Tang Hongbo was doing this for her to see. Although she knew that it was on purpose, she was still suffocating from the pain in her heart.

Duan Wenzhuo was unable to refuse and could only open her mouth to take a bite.

Just as Duan Wenzhuo swallowed her porridge, she saw the butler Elder Lin bringing Secretary Wang in.

Tang Hongbo placed the porridge in his hand on the table, then looked at Secretary Wang and said.

"Why are you home?"

"CEO, why did your phone shut down? Why can't I get through? " Secretary Wang's face was filled with anxiety.

"Maybe there's no electricity, is there?" Tang Hongbo asked indifferently.

"CEO, right now, the main entrance and back door of the company are completely surrounded by reporters. It's best if you don't go to the company today." Secretary Wang said.

Tang Hong's eyes darkened.

"What's going on?"

"They were all called over by the Sima family. About yesterday's matter of you publicly criticizing Sima Yun, they asked for an explanation so they called over a reporter." Secretary Wang frowned and said.

"Hmph, a bunch of clowns." Tang Hongbo snorted and then suddenly stood up.

"Hongbo..." Duan Wenzhuo shouted out worriedly.
