Return to before death

"How to do?"

"You're not clear-headed enough right now. Calm down and come see me tomorrow. I'll tell you what to do."

Yan Ran had truly calmed down, but she also realized something else. "Why do you remember?"

"Perhaps it's because I, like you, believe in such miracles."

"You said you investigated me for nine years and couldn't find any trace of me. We had no contact before today, so how do you know about Tangtang?"

"As I said, I noticed you the moment I entered the venue."

"And then they investigated me?"

There was a sudden pause on the other end of the phone, followed by a deep male voice, "Yan Ran, what are you suspecting?"

Yan Ran bit her lip. She didn't know why, but she suddenly remembered what he said when he handed her the amulet, as if he was hinting at something.

She was just thinking that her husband and daughter were equally important to her, so why did that letter make her do nothing and resolutely choose her daughter, Tangtang?

She just didn't understand what had happened, why her future self told her to stay away from Sheng Xuanling as much as possible, why the letter wasn't finished, and why it was stained with blood.

"Sheng Xuanling, do you know? I received a letter from the future. It told me to stay away from you because you would be affected by me..."

"Because of you? Have I fallen in love with you?"

"The letter isn't finished. I think we both need to calm down and think carefully about what to do in the future. I will definitely save my daughter, and I hope you can help me, but the future is warning us that we shouldn't get close, we can't get close."

"You can't save anyone by yourself. Bring that letter tomorrow. Don't forget, you also need to help me save someone else. The person I need can't have any problems, so the person carrying out the order can't either."

After hanging up the phone, Yan Ran went over to close the window. Just as her hand touched the switch, she saw a man and a woman struggling downstairs.

"Uncle?" Yan Ran looked closely and saw that the woman seemed to be calling out something. In the heavy rain, her uncle had been trying his best to hold an umbrella for her to keep her from getting wet. That woman... seemed to be... Lan Ke?

My head is throbbing again. It seems that ever since the timeline changed, Lan Ke has been frequently seen near the main family's residence, and it's always my uncle who's handling things.

She had never seen it before the change.

Yan Ran shook her head. Before the change, Zheng Qing left, and the company was in its most chaotic period. Her uncle lacked experience, and the company was out of sorts for a long time. As the general manager's assistant, Lan Ke probably wouldn't have any free time even if she was pregnant. No wonder she didn't appear.

Perhaps there's something going on between her and her uncle.

Yan Ran closed the window. It was too cold. So many things had happened all day, like a tangled mess that she couldn't sort out.

She lay in bed, hugging Tangtang's doll, trying hard to close her eyes and rest, but she couldn't fall asleep. The old and new timelines kept intertwining in her mind, like a nightmare.

She would even recall when Zhengqing came to see her with the baby in his arms right after Tangtang was born. The baby was small and ugly, but so cute and well-behaved.

I remember her nestled in my arms, just learning to speak, babbling "Mama" all the time. I remember her first day of kindergarten, her little mouth pouting as she looked back every few steps.

I remember on her birthday, Tangtang wore a floral dress and skipped around, imitating a Korean star's dance to wish her mother a happy birthday.

She reminisced about the past, breathing with the help of her memories, until the tightly closed door was opened, and someone lay down beside her, wrapped their arms around her waist, and pulled her into a warm embrace.

“Zhengqing…” She turned around, hugged him, and rested her head on his chest. “I miss Tangtang.”

"I know, I know." He gently stroked her back, feeling how thin and frail the person in his arms was, making his heart ache. "Ranran, you still have me. I will always be by your side, loving you for all eternity. In the future, if you wish, we will have many, many more children."

"I'm sorry, Zhengqing." She killed their child, she killed Tangtang. "But Zhengqing, I can't bear to lose you either, I love you so much."
