A pond full of blooming flowers, an ultimate addiction.

"Yes, Miss Jiang opened the door herself that day. Yes, that was the day I received a call from the hospital that my daughter had given birth to a baby. Miss Jiang even gave me a red envelope and told me not to wait for you and to go to the hospital right away, so I remember it very clearly."

Old Wang's memory isn't failing him yet; he wouldn't tell Chi Ruiche unless asked—that's the quality of a ride-hailing driver.

"Go to Jiang Yang's neighborhood."

Chi Ruiche stated the location directly; he needed to see her immediately. He had completely forgotten something so important. The girl he cherished had been hurt by him time and time again. Jiang Yang had been too lenient.

Chi Ruiche couldn't wait for the elevator, so he went up through the emergency exit and pounded on the door. Jiang Yang opened the door with a disgruntled expression.

"Are you crazy? You're disturbing the peace at night!" This person went crazy when I was revising the most important part of the tender document.

Chi Ruiche pushed him away like a madman and went inside to find Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi was also woken up and stood on the stairs. Chi Ruiche ran over and grabbed her tightly with both hands.

Why didn't you tell me? Why?

I don't understand what you mean?

Jiang Yi was stunned. He knew about this. It couldn't be! "You hurt me!"

Jiang struggled to shake off his hand.

"Let's go get our marriage certificate." Chi Ruiche pulled Jiang Yi and was about to leave.

"Chi Ruiche, what are you doing? You're the one who said we should break up. We have nothing to do with each other anymore!"

Jiang Yi looked at this man who was almost obsessed. His hands were clenched too tightly. He knew he was pregnant, otherwise he wouldn't be like this. He wanted to take responsibility.

"If it's because I'm pregnant, there's no need for that. I'll have the surgery tomorrow, and after that, we'll have nothing to do with each other. You don't need to apologize. I just hope we can both be well in the future."

After being hit by a series of blows, Chi Ruiche was stunned, and Jiang Yi's words left him speechless for a moment.

She is pregnant.

He actually did such a despicable thing, and he was so slow to realize it.

"I'm sorry, Xiao Yi, I'm so sorry."

Chi Ruiche held her in his arms and wouldn't let go no matter how much she struggled.

"Chi Ruiche, what exactly do you mean? This was consensual, you don't need to apologize. Let me go, let me go."

Jiang Yi got angry, slapped him hard, and even bit him hard on the shoulder.

Chi Ruiche let her be, holding her tightly without letting go at all, "Xiao Yi, I'm sorry, I will make it up to you."

"Chi Ruiche, are you still taking advantage of my sister's youth and ignorance? Your Chi family is a bottomless abyss; whoever enters it is doomed. Now that you've resolved things, you think you can take charge?"

Jiang Yang looked at the two of them, who clearly loved each other but were wary of one another, hoping only that they could avoid being hurt. He decided to help Chi Ruiche out of consideration for their years of friendship.

"Then I'll just leave the Chi family, as long as I'm with Xiao Yi."

Chi Ruiche was willing to give up his empire, which he had been planning for many years, for Jiang Yi, simply because of Jiang Yi.

"I don't need you to do that. I can live perfectly well on my own." Jiang Yi couldn't bring herself to bite down and awkwardly avoided looking at him.

"Do you think you'll be spared if you leave the Chi family? As long as Jiang Yi is by your side, you'll be hurt and there's nothing you can do. I think Jiang Yi knows that too, and leaving you is the wisest choice."

Jiang Yang hit the nail on the head.

The little girl he so carefully protected actually knew everything, just to please himself. How could he possibly do that? If it caused her so much pain, all these concerns would be meaningless.
