The richest man's parents were kidnapped, and his adorable son captivated the entire family.

After hanging up the phone, Xie Yumin glanced at the rain falling outside. The recent weather mirrored her mood—gloomy and depressed. She returned the phone to the shop owner, then grabbed an umbrella from the doorway and stepped into the rain without looking back.

The tire rolled into the puddle, and the rainwater, covered in dust, splashed into the air before falling back into the puddle like dust.

Xie Beiling sat in the driver's seat, his gaze focused intently on the road ahead.

Xie Yumin glanced back at the busy road, then turned her gaze back to the sidewalk ahead.

The light turned red, and all the cars stopped at the crosswalk. Pedestrians then crossed the street. Xie Yumin was among the many pedestrians.

"Hello, yes, I'm on my way." Xie Beiling put on his Bluetooth headset and answered the call that Gu Yinshen had opened.

Since Xie Yumin woke up and left so coldly, Xie Beiling has not had a normal life for almost half a month. After seeing Mengmeng last time, he realized that hiding at home alone was an escape from reality. If he really wanted to win Xie Yumin's heart, he would have to overcome all difficulties.

After hanging up the phone, he looked at the countdown timer ahead, started the engine, and continued driving.

......

"Ruolan, I'll introduce you to one of my friends in a bit." Gu Yinshen returned to the Gu family home as soon as he finished dealing with company matters that morning. He believed that Ruolan was certain the child she brought back was their child because deep down she couldn't forget that incident.

"friend?"

"Yes."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of a car horn came from outside the door.

Gu Yinshen got up from the sofa and walked towards the door.

Ruolan wasn't curious about her so-called new friends. She needed to prepare dinner and wait for Mengmeng and Tiantian to come home.

Holding a tablet, she was intently studying the recipes on it.

What should I make? The two children have different tastes, so to avoid disappointing them, I should prepare something according to each of their preferences.

"Beiling."

"You said you were going to introduce me to someone, who is it?"

Xie Beiling came to Gu Yinshen's side, looking at him curiously from left to right.

Seeing his expression, Gu Yinshen smiled and pointed towards the living room, "He's inside."

"I thought you were kidding me." Xie Beiling walked towards the living room.

Aunt Ping appeared at the doorway carrying boxes, blocking the entrance. Xie Beiling had just passed by when Gu Yinshen, who was on the other side of the boxes, had to enter the living room a step later.

Xie Beiling entered the living room and looked around. He stood there in a daze, staring at Ruolan on the sofa, who was looking down at her tablet and writing on a piece of paper.

Rain Sleep?

He scanned the document over and over again, and after confirming that it was correct, he excitedly walked toward the sofa.

"Yu Mian!" Xie Beiling hugged Ruolan tightly.

The man's powerful aura suddenly enveloped her body, and Ruolan was so startled that she dropped the tablet in her hand to the ground.

"I've been looking for you for so long, Yu Mian, please don't leave me again." Xie Beiling put his arm around Ruolan's shoulder and held her tightly in his embrace.

When Gu Yinshen came in, he saw the scene on the sofa, frowned, and quickly walked over to pull Xie Beiling back.

One separation made it impossible for Xie Beiling to accept Xie Yumin leaving him again. He wrapped his arms tightly around Ruolan's chest, and no matter how hard Gu Yinshen pulled, he couldn't pull him away.

Ruolan pounded on Xie Beiling's chest in fright, calling out Gu Yinshen's name, "Yinshen!"

"Xie Beiling!" Gu Yinshen shouted angrily, "Release my wife!"

wife?

Xie Beiling turned to look at Gu Yinshen in surprise, "How is that possible? She is Yu Mian! How could she be your wife?"

Looking at Ruolan, who looked almost exactly like Xie Yumin, Xie Beiling simply couldn't accept this fact.

Was Yu Mian's boyfriend at the time Gu Yinshen?

no no……

Xie Beiling released Ruolan's body and staggered back several steps in shock.

Everything came rushing out in a turbulent torrent.

Gu Yinshen had told him personally that his wife had passed away three years ago. Therefore, she must be Yu Mian.

"Yu Mian, don't joke with me, okay?" Xie Beiling stepped forward, wanting to hold Ruolan's hand, but she took a step back and he fell to the ground.

"Yin Shen." Ruolan walked to Gu Yin Shen's side and huddled in his arms in fear.

This scene was like someone pointing a gun at Xie Beiling's chest and relentlessly shooting at her.

Ruolan dared not look at Xie Beiling. She didn't know why he insisted on calling her Yumian. She had never heard of this name before, nor had she ever seen the person who bore it.

“Beiling, she really is my wife, Ruolan,” Gu Yinshen explained again solemnly.

It seems that bringing Xie Beiling today was a mistake. Not only could he not resolve the problems he is currently experiencing, but he has also added to the chaos.

"Ruolan?"

"Yes."

Gu Yinshen responded to Xie Beiling's doubts with an affirmative tone.

“Because of Mengmeng, my wife has returned to my side. As for Yu Mian, whom you mentioned, I can assure you with 100% certainty that she is not her.” Gu Yinshen’s expression was serious.

Any joke is acceptable, except this one. In Gu Yinshen's heart, Ruolan is more important than anything else; he can lose everything, but he cannot lose her.

Gu Yinshen tightened his grip on Ruolan's shoulder, asserting his dominance.

Xie Beiling stared sadly at Ruolan, his open mouth closing helplessly again.

Did he really admit his mistake?

His body deflated like a punctured balloon; in an instant, he collapsed onto the sofa, sitting limply. His legs were spread apart, and his hands hung limply on his knees. Xie Beiling lowered his head, letting out a mournful, desolate laugh.

Fate really loves to play tricks on him. He waited bitterly for several years, guarding her every step of the way. Finally, Xie Yumin woke up, but even seeing her became a longing.

If things had turned out this way, he, with his selfish motives, didn't know whether he should try to wake Xie Yumin up.

"Yin Shen," Ruolan called out.

Gu Yinshen rubbed Ruolan's shoulder to comfort her, "You go upstairs first, I'll handle things here."

"Okay." Ruolan got out of Gu Yinshen's arms and didn't dare to linger for a moment. She turned around and went upstairs without looking back.

Xie Beiling watched Ruolan's departing figure, then looked at Gu Yinshen and asked, "She really isn't Yu Mian?"

“Beiling.” Gu Yinshen came to Xie Beiling’s side and placed his hand on his shoulder. “She is Ruolan, my lawfully wedded wife, and the mother of our children.”

Gu Yinshen's wedding was a sensation back then, and pictures of the wedding circulated online. Xie Beiling took out his phone and immediately started looking them up.

"This……"
