My sister regretted sending me to the correctional facility.

In the darkness of a dream.

The scene shifted rapidly.

Time flies.

I took over the company my father left behind and became a young president.

Aunt Gu needs to make a living.

Gu Yao is going to university.

I wanted to give them the best life and send Gu Yao to the best university.

So I gave up the opportunity to study abroad.

I put all my energy into running the company.

Because my father left in a hurry, the older employees in the company were all resentful of me. I fought those people to the bitter end, and was even assassinated by them.

Ultimately, through my own efforts, I eliminated dissidents and successfully took control of everything in the company.

I bought Aunt Gu the best villa, with a large yard so she can grow vegetables.

I gave Gu Yao a bank card with no upper limit and helped her contact the best universities abroad to send her abroad to pursue a doctorate.

In the end, I did not fail to live up to my childhood aspirations.

Through my own efforts, I have enabled them to live a happy life free from worries about food and clothing.

But one day, I collapsed at the company due to overwork.

When I woke up, I was lying in the best hospital bed.

Aunt Gu is by my bedside, taking care of me meticulously, with a jar of chicken soup she has carefully prepared next to me.

"Lu Yi, you're finally awake! You scared me to death! You have no idea how many people were terrified when you suddenly collapsed!"

“I told Yao Yao about you fainting, and she told me she would immediately buy the earliest flight back to see you.”

Hearing this warmed my heart; all my hard work over the years had not been in vain.

"I'm fine now. Tell Gu Yao not to come back; it's too much trouble!"

Aunt Gu laughed and said, "Hey! You know Yao Yao's personality. Once she's made up her mind, no one can change it!"

"Lu Yi, you don't take your health seriously enough. This company is so big, and you're the only one working on it. Can you really manage it all?"

"Perfect timing! Yao Yao is about to graduate with her doctorate. I'll have her come back and help you at your company!"

I gently held Aunt Gu's hand, my eyes welling up with tears, deeply moved.

“Aunt Gu, after my father passed away, this family needs a man to hold it together.”

"Besides, I am good to you and your daughter because I want to be good to you."

"You care about me, take good care of me, raise me, and treat me like your own son. Now you've even asked Gu Yao to help me. I simply don't know what words of thanks to say."

Aunt Gu looked at me with a touched expression.

"What are you saying, child! How can you say thank you? I'm the one who should be thanking you!"

"If it weren't for taking care of us, you wouldn't have remained unmarried for so many years!"

I didn't say anything, I just smiled.

Suddenly, Aunt Gu said out of the blue, "Lu Yi, you haven't gotten married all these years, are you waiting for Gu Yao?"

That startled me.

Memories buried deep within from many years ago seem to be awakening little by little.

I panicked and stammered, "I, I..."

Aunt Gu suddenly laughed: "Silly child, I'm not stupid. I can see that many beautiful and outstanding girls have pursued you over the years, but you rejected them all. Is it because they weren't good enough? No, it's just that there's always been someone in your heart!"

"How about I personally arrange for you two to marry her after Gu Yao graduates?"

I shuddered, my eyes welled up with tears, and a warm current surged through my body.

Just when I thought my life was finally over.

I can marry the white moonlight of my youth.

A dark dream before my eyes.

The scene then shifts to a year later.

Gu Yao successfully graduated with a doctorate from a prestigious overseas university.

After coming back.

She didn't join my company to help me, as the caregiver had suggested.

Instead, he started his own business and eventually became a renowned CEO.

Gu Yao easily surpassed my efforts of many years.

Just as I was smiling and congratulating her on her success...

But the first thing she did when she saw me again was to send me to a correctional facility.

She stared at me coldly, her eyes filled with disgust.

"Lu Yi, you're not allowed to come out until you've cleared your head of all those filthy thoughts!"

The scene changes again.

This time it's a correctional facility.

I was lying on a specially made torture bed, with my limbs fixed in place.

The director picked up a scalpel and walked towards me with a sinister grin.

"Lu Yi, you've revealed the secrets of the reformatory, so I'm going to punish you severely!"

I shook my head in terror and fear.

"I didn't say that! I didn't say that!"

The director's scalpel had already fallen, plunging straight into my heart, and then he forcefully slid it downwards, and immense pain filled my entire body.

I shouted and roared with all my might, trying to yell out all the pain and despair inside me!

Suddenly.

I used the last of my strength to open my eyes.

He was panting heavily, and sweat was pouring down his forehead.

The surrounding environment is very familiar.

My heart clenched instantly.

"Am I back in the correctional facility again?"

Just as I was filled with panic and confusion.

I turned my head and saw Gu Yao sitting next to the hospital bed, staring at me with a cold expression.

Gu Yao saw that I was awake.

She said somewhat angrily, "Lu Yi, I was supposed to go look at wedding dresses this afternoon, but because of you, all my plans have been ruined!"

I was startled, and it reminded me of the scene in my dream.

That's a place I never want to go back to.

Despite my weakness and pain, I struggled to get out of bed, rolling and crawling.

Then he accidentally fell to the ground with a thud.

Gu Yao was startled by my sudden action.

"Lu Yi, what are you up to?"

I was filled with fear and trepidation, and I kowtowed to her with tears streaming down my face.

boom! boom! boom!

The sound of my kowtowing echoed in the quiet ward.

I confessed, "Gu Yao, I swear to you, from now on, I will never dare to have any improper thoughts about you again. I have cleared all the filthy thoughts from my mind!"

"Please, I beg you, don't send me back."

Gu Yao was clearly frightened; her pretty face turned pale, and her eyes held a mixture of fear and surprise.

She stepped forward and quickly helped me up as I was kowtowing.

Gu Yao looked at my forehead, which was already bleeding from the bump.

There was a hint of pity in her eyes.

"Lu Yi, tell me, what exactly happened to you?"

I can't hold back any longer.

She wanted to tell everyone what happened in the correctional facility.

But at this time.

A nurse pushed a cart in.

She smiled and said, "It's time for the patient's dressing change. Could you please leave for a moment, ma'am?"

Then, Gu Yao went outside.

The nurse helped me back to bed.

Just as the nurse was changing my dressing.

She suddenly lowered her voice and spoke in a tone that was only for the two of us.

"The director asked me to pass on a message to you: if you don't want to be disemboweled, you'd better keep your mouth shut!"

Upon hearing this, I was immediately filled with extreme fear and looked at the nurse with trembling eyes.

The nurse instantly flashed a sweet smile, as if nothing had just happened.

"Sir, your dressing has been changed. Please rest quietly and don't move around!"
