Love is a mistake that cannot be escaped

After the press conference, I felt completely drained and just wanted to find a quiet corner to lick my wounds alone.

But those who had been hurt by Du Yue surrounded me with tears in their eyes and gratitude in their eyes. Their weathered faces were filled with sincere thanks, making it impossible for me to refuse them or run away.

I forced myself to stay awake and responded to their thanks, trying to force a genuine smile. However, only I knew the weariness and bitterness hidden behind that smile.

"Fu Yan!"

A familiar voice suddenly rang out from the crowd, and my heart skipped a beat, as if it were being gripped tightly by an invisible hand.

I turned my head with difficulty, searching through the crowd for the source of the voice.

Then, I saw him.

Gu Yichen was still as tall and handsome as ever, his deep eyes showing a hint of weariness that was hard to conceal, yet his resolve was even stronger. He pushed through the crowd and walked towards me step by step, his gaze fixed intently on me, as if trying to see right through me.

Our eyes met, and my heart went awry.

In an instant, a thousand words welled up in my heart, yet I didn't know where to begin.

His appearance pulled me back to those sweet yet painful memories.

"you lost weight."

His voice was low and hoarse, tinged with heartache.

I forced back the tears welling in my eyes and forced a smile, saying, "It's alright, you look fine too..."

"Yan Yan, come with me."

Before I could finish speaking, he grabbed my hand, his tone firm and brooking no refusal.

"I……"

I tried to pull my hand away, but he held it even tighter.

His palms were warm and dry, just as I remembered them, making me crave them, yet also afraid of them.

“I’ve been looking for you these past few days.” He didn’t give me a chance to escape, his deep gaze fixed on my eyes as if trying to see through all my pretenses. “I’ve taken care of the family matters. I won’t let any of those who hurt you get away with it.”

I was stunned. The decisiveness and ruthlessness in his tone felt unfamiliar to me, yet strangely reassuring.

It turns out he knew everything. He knew the grievances I had suffered and the bitterness in my heart.

"Why are you doing this?"

My voice trembled slightly, "Gu Yichen, we're over, aren't we?"

"Finish?"

He smiled bitterly. "Yan Yan, I admit that I once backed down because of family pressure, but I never thought of giving up on you. During this time, I have been regretting every moment, regretting that I didn't hold your hand tightly back then."

He paused, his tone becoming even more resolute, "Yan Yan, come back to me. This time, I won't let go again. I want you to be my only Mrs. Gu. I want to give you a home, a home that truly belongs to us."

His words were like a warm current, slowly flowing through my cold heart and melting the last bit of ice in my heart.

Yes, I loved him so much, and I longed for a future with him.

How could I easily let go of those sweet memories and those unforgettable loves?

I looked up into his sincere eyes, and tears finally welled up and streamed down my face. "Yichen, I..."

"Don't say anything more."

He gently wiped away the tears from the corners of my eyes. "I know you still love me, don't you?"

I choked up and couldn't say anything more, I just nodded forcefully.

Yes, I still love him deeply, more than ever before.

All the hurts and misunderstandings of the past seem insignificant at this moment.

As long as I can be with him, I'm willing to give up everything and start over.

"Okay." He gently pulled me into his arms, as if he wanted to meld me into his very bones.

At that moment, I felt an unprecedented sense of security, like a drifting ship finally finding a harbor to dock in.

I know that we still have a long way to go and many challenges lie ahead.

But I believe that as long as we love each other and walk hand in hand, we will definitely be able to overcome all difficulties and usher in our own happiness.

Gu Yichen kept his word. He handled the family affairs swiftly and decisively, and personally went to apologize to my parents.

Although his parents still harbored some resentment about what had happened before, they gradually let go of their grudges after seeing Gu Yichen's sincere attitude.

Perhaps the saddest person is Grandpa Gu.

When he learned that Gu Yichen and I were getting married, he just sighed deeply.

"Children, you choose your own path, and Grandpa won't stop you. I just hope you won't regret it later."

His aged voice carried a hint of helplessness, but also a touch of blessing.

The wedding was simple, yet very heartwarming.

There was no lavish pomp, no large number of guests, only our closest loved ones, witnessing our happiness.

Wearing a pure white wedding dress, accompanied by my father, I slowly walked towards Gu Yichen.

He was dressed in a black suit, with an upright posture and handsome face, as if all the light in the world had gathered on him.

"Mr. Gu Yichen, do you take Ms. Fu Yan to be your wife? To love her, respect her, protect her, and stay with her through thick and thin, in sickness and in health, until death do you part?"

"I do." His voice was firm and strong, full of love.

"Miss Fu Yan, do you take Mr. Gu Yichen to be your wife? To love him, respect him, protect him, for better or for worse, in sickness and in health, for richer or for poorer, for poorer or for poorer, for better ...

"I do! I do!"

Before the pastor could finish speaking, I impatiently shouted, afraid that if I was even a second late, he would disappear.

At that moment, I knew that I had finally found my happiness.

Sunlight streamed into the room through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting a golden glow on the soft carpet.

I gently stroked my bulging belly, feeling the little life inside moving with each movement, and a happy smile involuntarily appeared on my lips.

"What are you thinking about? Why are you laughing so happily?"

Gu Yichen walked over with a cup of hot milk, leaned down and gently kissed my forehead.

"It's nothing, I just feel that my life is really good right now."

I took the milk and sipped it slowly, the delicate milky aroma filling my mouth. "Yichen, who do you think our child will resemble more?"

Gu Yichen sat down beside me, gently placing his large hand on my stomach. "I hope he'll be like you—smart, beautiful, and kind."

I smiled and rolled my eyes at him. "You're all talk. But I hope he's more like you—brave, strong, and responsible."

We smiled at each other, our eyes shining with happiness.

"Dong dong dong..."

A series of urgent knocks broke the silence.

"I'll go open the door." Gu Yichen got up, walked to the door, and opened it.

"What is it?" His voice carried a hint of displeasure.

The butler stood outside the door; his face was pale, and his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.

"Sir, something terrible has happened, the young master..." Before the butler could finish speaking, Gu Yichen shoved him away abruptly.

"What happened to Yichen?!" My heart tightened, and an ominous premonition surged into my mind.

When I arrived at the room, I saw Gu Yichen, who was pale-faced. He was lying on the bed, breathing weakly, with panicked doctors and nurses beside him.

"Yichen! Yichen!" I rushed to the bedside, tightly holding his cold little hand, tears streaming down my face.

"Doctor, how is he?" Gu Yichen's voice trembled, as if he was trying his best to suppress something.

The doctor shook his head. "Mr. Gu, Mrs. Gu, I'm sorry, we did our best..."

"No!" I screamed desperately, then everything went black, and I passed out...
