[GB] Boss Ruan, your husband doesn't want you anymore.

Huo Jingmo curled up in the darkness. He slowly opened his eyes and saw only pitch blackness, without a single ray of light, a darkness that filled him with despair.

He blinked in confusion, waving his hand in front of his eyes, but to no avail; he couldn't see anything.

The sensation of waving his hand allowed him to discern the strange feeling in his own hand.

He thrashed about wildly, the sensation in his hands making him feel as if he were in the water. Yet, he could breathe freely.

Then came silence, an unnatural silence, as if the five senses were disappearing, and all emotions were fading away.

Huo Jingmo struggled incessantly as his body grew cold, gradually sinking downwards, followed by a bone-chilling cold that penetrated everything.

The cold air seeped into his bones, circled around, and continued to erode him. His body stiffened.

Just when he was about to give up, something enveloped him, shielding him from the cold.

In that instant, he felt as if he were taking flight. Everything that had just happened seemed to recede into the distance.

A clear, ethereal voice rang out: "Go back, this is not a place for you." Deep in the ocean, a body remained, eyes closed.

Tick ​​tock tick tock——

Huo Jingmo heard the ticking sound again.

He suddenly opened his eyes, and all he saw was a blinding white light. The sounds around him gradually became clearer.

In that instant, Huo Jingmo felt a sudden sense of clarity; the silence almost drove him mad.

Gong Chen was intently reading Chi Xiao's manuscript when he noticed Huo Jingmo's slightest movement.

Gong Chen raised her head and looked at Huo Jingmo, who was slowly opening his eyes, and said, "You're finally awake. I thought you'd never wake up again!"

"Do you know that you were unconscious for a whole month? A whole month!" Gong Chen's tone was filled with lingering fear.

Huo Jingmo lay on the bed, staring blankly at the white ceiling, exhaling into the ventilator.

He laboriously raised his hand, unconsciously touching his lower abdomen. He only felt a flat surface. As he tried to identify what it was...

But Gong Chen grabbed her wrist and said, "Don't move around, be careful of your wound."

Huo Jingmo tilted his head back, feeling no pressure on his stomach, yet for some reason, he felt an emptiness in his heart.

Gong Chen heard the word "child" in his weak voice.

Gong Chen pursed his lips, unsure whether this was a good thing or a bad thing for him.

He pointed to a direction beside Huo Jingmo, where a small baby was lying quietly in an incubator.

Huo Jingmo looked up with difficulty, his heart filled with mixed emotions, revealing a hint of despair.

His true nature, however, brought a genuine smile to his face.

But the next moment, he saw the instrument next to him change its expression and look at Gong Chen with a panicked gaze.

Gong Chen thought he was worried about the child and reassured him, "There's no problem. You know that being Ruan Qian'an's child is somewhat abnormal."

Huo Jingmo slowly closed his eyes and nodded. All his emotions rushed towards him like an avalanche, instantly engulfing him.

It was unacceptable to him. He could only avoid looking at the tiny baby.

Gong Chen consciously gave the father and daughter some space and took the initiative to go out.

Perhaps sensing the safe atmosphere, the baby opened her eyes.

Bright and dazzling, with a faint blue tint, it stared unblinkingly at Huo Jingmo.

Huo Jingmo felt a little uneasy under the stare. He forced himself to sit up, rested on the bed for a while, and then approached the incubator where the baby was.

He lifted the cover of the incubator, and the baby let out a crisp laugh, the sound like a clear spring, pure and innocent, gentle and peaceful, making people feel warm and joyful.

Huo Jingmo scrutinized her for a moment, his gaze gradually turning cold. Her eyes were so much like Ruan Qian'an's.

His hands trembled as he reached out to the baby's tender neck.

Before he could even touch it, a small hand grasped Huo Jingmo's index finger, and a soft cheek rubbed against Huo Jingmo.

Huo Jingmo gritted his teeth and grabbed her neck, gradually tightening his grip until the child's cheeks turned red from being pinched.

Breathing became increasingly difficult, and Huo Jingmo's grip tightened.

The little baby, feeling the discomfort of suffocation, cried out with a wailing sound as his lips turned down. He struggled, but never let go of Huo Jingmo's index finger, as if grasping at a lifeline.

Startled by the cry, Huo Jingmo released his grip, and the little baby thrashed about.

The little baby grabbed his index finger, pouting pitifully as he looked at Huo Jingmo for comfort.

She made a very crisp sound: "Da da da." Then she giggled, as if the danger had never happened.

Huo Jingmo's hand trembled as he lovingly stroked the spot where he had just pinched her. Her body was so small, so tiny, and her little face was all wrinkled.

With a hint of breakdown in her voice, she kept apologizing: "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..."

The baby just smiled happily and hugged Huo Jingmo's fingers with joy.

This is his child, this is his child, and has nothing to do with anyone else.

The camera was pointed directly at Huo Jingmo. Standing in front of the monitor, Chi Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. His clenched fist relaxed at that moment.

Chi Xiao: "That was close." He breathed a heavy sigh of relief and sat back down in his chair.

If Huo Jingmo really intended to kill, he wouldn't stop him.

But the next moment, he swiftly grabbed Yan Ling by the back of the neck and said, "Don't go and cause trouble."

Yan Ling's eyes were filled with murderous intent: "He's going to make a move on the little boss!"

Chi Xiao stumbled as he was pulled: "You reckless idiot!"

"You must listen to me now!"

Yan Ling stopped and stared intently at Chi Xiao. Chi Xiao said, "Even if Huo Jingmo really wants to kill this child, you cannot save him, and you must not lay a hand on him."

"Do you understand?"

Yan Ling turned her head, gritting her teeth, and tried to break free from him in dissatisfaction.

Chi Xiao: "What's your hurry?" He turned around and gestured for Yan Ling to look at the monitor: "We haven't made a move yet, have we?"

"Stop causing trouble here."

Seeing that Yan Ling hadn't actually done anything, Yan Ling relaxed, patted Chi Xiao on the shoulder, and said, "When the cat's away, the mice will play."

Chi Xiao rolled her eyes at her, annoyed: "If you were more rational, I wouldn't be controlling you like this. Otherwise, you'll be in big trouble when the boss comes back."

"Besides, I have a higher position than you. If you don't listen to me, who do you listen to?"

Word of Power: "You're a weakling. How can you command respect without me? How dare you keep nagging?"

Chi Xiao said helplessly to Yan Ling, "Keep an eye on 07. I've noticed she's been acting mysteriously all month. It's best to keep her away from Huo Jingmo. I'm afraid Huo Jingmo might be stressed."

The words of power replied perfunctorily, "Yes, yes, I've never seen you so long-winded before."

Chi Xiao concealed the bitterness in his eyes and said, "We also need to recall the people searching for Kun to protect Huo Jingmo."

Hearing Chi Xiao say this, Yan Ling was somewhat surprised: "We have enough manpower now, there's no need to recall the Dark Hidden Pavilion people, is there?"

Chi Xiao shook his head and said, "No need to look anymore."

Word Spirit: "You're not hiding something from us, are you?"

Chi Xiao forced a smile: "No, hurry up and go, stop dawdling."

Word of Power: "Yes, yes, yes."

Chi Xiao said to the person next to him, "Keep a close eye on Huo Jingmo's movements."

After saying that, he and Yan Ling walked out of the monitoring room together.

What happened afterward made Chi Xiao think more than once every day, "If only Kun hadn't disappeared or Boss hadn't gone missing."
