air on the terrace. There was a box of cigarettes on the small round table, and he had already smoked four or five.Although he had everything he ever wanted, a beautiful fiancée and all the perks that...Zhang Baiyan rose from the shadowy space, gazing up at the woman before him.

His wife who is six months pregnant.

Qin Yu held up her umbrella, and when she put it away, raindrops fell one by one... He only realized it was raining outside. When he looked up, the teardrop mole at the corner of his eye, which he rarely showed, could be seen faintly.

He spoke in a raspy voice, "How did you get here It's raining outside. Did someone drive you"

Qin Yu slowly put away the umbrella.

She looked up at him, meeting his gaze...

Zhang Baiyan's gaze was murky, but there was an underlying sense of calm. Qin Yu watched him for a while before walking over and sitting beside him. Her voice was calm and measured, "This morning, I paid the last wages to our family driver. The servants, cooks, and gardeners have all left!"

Zhang Baiyan's throat felt tight.

Qin Yu continued, "In just two days, the group has become like this. You didn't try to save it, did you Zhang Baiyan, are you trying to atone for your own mistakes Do you think these riches led you astray, causing a girl to die, so you want them all to disappear"

Zhang Baiyan tilted his head and quietly gazed at her.

Qin Yu's voice was soft and gentle, "My father called me this afternoon and asked me to return to the Qin family... Zhang Baiyan, I want to come over and ask for your opinion."

Zhang Baiyan's Adam's apple rolled up and down. He reached out and gently touched her abdomen.

"It's been over six months," he said.

He remained silent for a long time, before speaking in a hoarse voice, "The company's accountant calculated that if we file for bankruptcy, the money in the company's accounts could cover all the employee salaries... As for you, I have another sum of money to ensure you and the child can live well, even if you leave me, you'll be able to live a good life."

Qin Yu's voice trembled slightly.

She asked, "So, do you want me to go back to the Qin family"

Zhang Baiyan grasped her arm, he looked out at the darkness outside. After a long, long time, he asked her, "Qin Yu, are you willing to wait for me It might take three, five, or even longer years for me to let you and the child live like you do now."

Bo Yu was founded by him and destroyed by him.

He wants to rebuild the future.

He didn't know if the woman beside him, a woman with a heart full of cracks and crevices, still wanted him. He didn't know if she was still willing to wait for him, to wait for him to promise her a future that truly belonged to them both.

The people around me haven't spoken in a long time.

Zhang Baiyan thought she didn't want to.

He lowered his eyes for a long time, and softly said, "Tomorrow, I will have someone arrange to send you abroad."

Qin Yu loves her children, she wouldn't possibly abort them and return to the Qin family. He understood this better than anyone... So he asked her, asked her if she was still willing.

He finished speaking, and stood up. He held out his hand to her.

He said, "I'll take you back!"

But she still sat there, looking up at her husband, her voice steady but with a slight tremor. "Zhang Baiyan, I also want to ask you, is your heart clean now The future and afterward you spoke of, is it only us"

Outside, the rain falls heavily.

Zhang Baiyan's heart was wet with emotion.

He didn't say anything. He just sat back down, and he let his wife lean against his shoulder.

They just sat there quietly.

He repented of the past and promised her a future.

Qin Yu's voice was bitter, "Zhang Baiyan, I don't love you. I just feel that I probably won't be able to love anyone else in this life. I don't want to change my current life, so... I don't love you."

She spoke incoherently.

Zhang Baiyan's voice was soft, gentler than the night itself.

He said, "I know! I know!"

He leaned down and kissed her hair, holding her close in his arms... They stayed like that for a while, until the night deepened, when he draped his jacket over her shoulders.

Qin Yu whispered, asking him if he was cold.

He said he wasn't cold, and then he asked her if she was tired. Qin Yu said she was.

Zhang Beiyan drove her home.

When the car returned to the villa, all the security guards had left. So he got out of the car and went to open the door himself... Qin Yu looked at him, feeling a pang of sympathy for him.

Zhang Baiyan got in the car and, seeing her expression, knew what she was thinking.

He leaned forward and said softly, "I've lived through even harder times... I can bear it."

He gently clasped her hand, his palm warm while Qin Yu's was icy cold.

They didn't say "I love you," but what they felt ran deeper than love.

Chapter Baiyan's such crazy behavior, yet there was a woman who could understand him, comprehend him, and even willing to stay by his side. She said toughly that she didn't love him... But at that moment, Chapter Baiyan felt she was adorable.

He also in that instant, suddenly felt relieved.

He understood why Lu You would fall in love with Ye Bai, because falling in love was just a momentary feeling! When people are most vulnerable, they give their hearts to someone.

He thought, his heart was with Qin Yu now.

He thought she would put it away for him, tuck it safely out of sight.

He thought, as long as she was willing to keep it, he would never take it away for his whole life.

……

After a few turns, the Land Rover stopped at the doorstep. Zhang Baiyan glanced at his watch.

It is already midnight.

As he unbuckled his seat belt, he glanced at her sideways, his voice soft. "Are you hungry I'll make you a bowl of noodles!"

Qin Yu actually had no appetite.

But she softly said, "I want a bowl of egg noodles."

He said ok.

After getting off the car, he wanted to help her to the living room. Qin Yu smiled faintly, "It's not that bad yet, I can walk myself."

Zhang Baiyan looked down at her.

His gaze was deep.

Qin Yu raised her eyes to look at him, her voice trembling slightly. "The money you left me and the child, you take it to start over! I have money on hand! Besides, there will be many hard days in the future, from now on... you don't have to be so pampered anymore."

She really wanted to tell him, Zhang Baiyan, this is the biggest gamble of my life, you mustn't let me down!

But then she thought, since it's a high-stakes gamble, where would there be any guarantee of winning

Under the lamppost, Zhang Baiyan watched her quietly.

Lastly, he gently clasped her fingertips, his voice husky, "Be careful on your way! I'm going downstairs to the kitchen."

She hummed in response and walked towards the entranceway.

Zhang Baiyan just watched his wife's back in the night.

The night was cool, his jacket still draped over her shoulders. She was over six months pregnant, but from behind, she still looked slender… Her walk gave away her upbringing as a lady, yet she told him she wanted to share his hardships.

After a long time, Zhang Baiyan walked to the kitchen.

He had two bowls of egg noodles and baked two sugar-free cakes in the oven.

When it arrived at the table, he said softly, "After we got married, I seem to have never cooked anything for you."

He cut off a small piece for her.

He said again, “I hope it’s a boy. I’d name him Zhang Yu. If it’s a girl, I’ll feel sorry for her having to follow me through hardship.”

Qin Yu ate elegantly.

"In a little while, she whispered, 'I'll take good care of the child! I'll take him to amusement parks, buy him toys and all sorts of delicious food, but Zhang Baiyan, you have to work hard to earn money, work hard so we can live in a better place... I don't like living with other people, at least, we need a single room.'"

Zhang Baiyan's eyes were a little warm.

After a long pause, he softly said, "I understand!"dressed in a floral dress, and she used her brush to fluff up her brown curly hair. She then asked curiously, "Why is Mommy still sleeping"Ho Shao-ting tied his tie neatly and looked very dapper.He pi...
