Don't meet me in your next life.

After he left, Xiang Yi's gaze followed his retreating figure until he completely disappeared from sight, at which point her heart suddenly ached.

She suddenly felt sad, and tears streamed uncontrollably down her face.

She thought that she would be happy if she were with Gu Yiran.

Because she knew that Gu Yiran was genuinely good to her.

......

Nine p.m.

Xiang Yi lay on the bed, tossing and turning, her mind filled with Gu Yiran's gentle gaze and doting gestures.

He was really good to her.

Xiang Yi felt that she must be crazy, otherwise, how could she have been bewitched by his kindness?

Xiang Yi rolled around in bed for a while, but finally couldn't resist the drowsiness and gradually closed her eyes.

......

early morning.

Gu Yiran sat in the car, closing her eyes to rest.

These days, he spends almost every day at the hospital taking care of Xiang Yiyi.

The doctor advised him to go home and rest, but Gu Yiran did not want to leave her.

Just as Gu Yiran was deep in thought, the driver suddenly stepped on the brakes.

"Mr. Gu! Someone is following us!"

He was startled, then immediately sat up and saw a black sedan parked not far away.

Gu Yiran frowned.

He leaned out of the car window and said to the driver, "Turn around! Go to the company!"

Upon hearing this, the driver immediately turned the steering wheel and drove the car into the company's underground parking lot.

Gu Yiran got out of the car and quickly ran towards the elevator.

He had just stepped out of the elevator when a gust of cold wind blew in his face.

Gu Yiran shivered and quickened his pace toward the president's private elevator.

Just as he was about to reach out and press the number on the top floor, he suddenly heard footsteps approaching.

Gu Yiran gripped the pistol at his waist warily and quickly drew it.

However......

A "ding" sounded.

The elevator doors opened, and Xiang Yiyi was holding onto the door frame with one hand and clutching her stomach with the other. Her cheeks were covered in sweat, and her face was as pale as paper.

The moment he saw her, Gu Yiran's pupils suddenly contracted!

Her forehead and arms were covered in blood!

Gu Yiran walked over quickly and grabbed her hand.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" he asked, his eyes filled with concern.

"It hurts...it hurts so much..." Xiang Yi said weakly.

Gu Yiran looked at the wound on her wrist and was immediately shocked.

The gauze on the wound was soaked with blood, and he could feel a thick, fishy smell seeping into his skin from the gaps.

He felt as if a huge rock was pressing on his heart, making it hard to breathe.

"I'll take you to the hospital right away!" he said urgently.

"No, don't..." Xiang Yi shook her head.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here, no one can hurt you!" He held her hand tightly and led her out of the elevator.

Xiang Yi gritted her teeth and refused to let go.

"I'm fine, it's just..." Xiang Yi bit her lip, "...I'm a little scared..."

Scared?

Gu Yiran's body suddenly stiffened.

Are you scared?

"Hmm..." She nodded.

Her eyes were red-rimmed and slightly moist.

She didn't understand why she was afraid, but she just felt herself trembling all over, and her heart was pounding uncontrollably.

Like... the night her child was lost.

That night, they all thought the child was dead, but in the end, he miraculously survived.

"What are you afraid of? I'm here!" Gu Yiran comforted her.

Xiang Yiyi calmed down a little, but tears still kept falling.

Gu Yiran felt extremely distressed. He held her tightly in his arms, gently stroking her back, and softly coaxed her again and again, "Don't be afraid, it's alright, it's alright..."

"I...I don't want to see that man again..." Xiang Yiyi's voice was filled with sobs.

“Okay,” he agreed.

......

In the hospital's VIP ward.

Gu Yiran was wiping the bloodstains off Xiang Yiyi's hands with a towel.

His fingers were long and clean, with dry but very rounded nails.

At this moment, Gu Yiran's fingertips were stained with her blood.

He was taken aback, and then a hint of embarrassment appeared in his eyes.

He quickly withdrew his hand.

“I’ll help you treat it, don’t touch the wound,” he said, throwing the towel into the trash can.

He nodded to her.

She watched his retreating figure, her heart filled with complex emotions.

She remembered all the kindness this man had shown her.

But how should her feelings for him be defined?

After Gu Yiran finished treating her wounds, he sat down on the sofa.

He lifted her legs and placed them on his knees, carefully examining the wound.

Why did you go to the park?

His voice is very pleasant, gentle and warm.

Xiang Yi lowered her head and didn't say anything.

Gu Yiran saw the glistening teardrops clinging to her eyelashes. He sighed and said, "I don't want to see you cry."

Xiang Yi pursed her lips and remained silent.

Gu Yiran sighed and ruffled her hair. "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go home."

Xiang Yi nodded obediently.

Gu Yiran pulled her hand and stood up. Xiang Yiyi suddenly felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen.

Her body swayed slightly.

"Are you OK?"

Gu Yiran quickly helped her up.

My stomach hurts so much...

"Stomach ache?" Gu Yiran frowned. "I'll take you to the OB/GYN."

"I...I think I'm pregnant."

Xiang Yi said softly, touching her belly with her small hand.

Gu Yiran was suddenly startled.

She is pregnant?

How could... how could I suddenly be pregnant?

This news was so sudden that Gu Yiran was completely unprepared!

Xiang Yiyi hadn't expected her period to be so late...

But she has now been confirmed to be pregnant.

Xiang Yi felt a mix of emotions.

"Are we... are we going to be parents?" Xiang Yi looked up at Gu Yiran, her eyes slightly evasive.

Gu Yiran was stunned.

Was she... actually expecting this child?

Gu Yiran was delighted by her reaction. He bent down and kissed her cheek, saying softly, "Silly girl, of course we are! We're going to be parents. Don't you want to marry me?"

Gu Yiran's gaze was intense.

Xiang Yi's heart stopped beating, and she hurriedly looked away.

"No, no..." she murmured, her eyes filled with panic, "I...I didn't expect to...be pregnant."

She really didn't know what to do.

She never wanted this child.

But now, it has suddenly arrived...

Xiang Yi looked at Gu Yiran, at a loss, not knowing how to talk to him.

"But... I never intended to have this child, and... your father wouldn't agree..."

She was a single mother, while he was a man with a fiancée.

She didn't want to implicate Gu Yiran, which is why she hesitated and even didn't want his child!

However, Gu Yiran misunderstood her.

He frowned and said, "It's alright, I'll handle it."

"But......"
