Love is a mistake that cannot be escaped

"I was quite surprised that things turned out this way..."

Du Yue wanted to say something more, but Gu Yichen suddenly stood up and interrupted her performance, "Enough, take off your hypocritical mask. From the moment you chose to deal with a tiger, you should have expected this day to come."

He ignored Du Yue's pale face, turned around and took my and the little one's hands, saying gently, "Let's go home."

As we stepped out of the police station, the warm sunshine bathed us, seemingly dispelling the gloom of the past few days.

The little girl clapped her hands excitedly, "Let's go home, let's go home!" I looked down at her innocent smiling face, and my heart was filled with warmth.

Back home, Uncle Gu and Gu Yichen had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing us return safely, Uncle Gu was so moved that tears streamed down his face. He hugged us tightly, saying, "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back!"

Since learning the truth, Gu Yichen's spirits have improved considerably, and a trace of color has returned to his pale face.

He looked at the adorable child with eyes full of affection, "Sister, can I hug her?"

I smiled and handed the adorable child to him, saying, "Of course, you'll be her uncle from now on."

Gu Yichen carefully held the adorable baby, a happy smile on his face.

Seeing this scene filled me with countless emotions. After going through so much, our family is finally reunited.

To celebrate this hard-won victory, we decided to have a family gathering.

Upon receiving the invitation, Lu Mingxuan was the first to arrive. He looked at me and Gu Yichen and sincerely congratulated us, saying, "Congratulations, you've finally overcome your hardships."

At the party, everyone was laughing and chatting, and the atmosphere was harmonious. Watching this heartwarming scene, my heart was filled with happiness and emotion. However, just then, Gu Yichen's phone suddenly rang.

He picked up the phone and his expression gradually became serious.

"What did you say?!"

His tone became urgent and low, and my heart jumped.

"I understand, I'll be right there." After hanging up the phone, a complex emotion flashed in his deep eyes.

"What's wrong?" I held his hand and felt that his palm was icy cold.

"Something urgent has come up at the company, I have to go there right away." He forced a smile and gently stroked my cheek. "I'm sorry, I can't stay with you."

"It's alright, you go ahead and do your work. I'll take care of things at home." I nodded understandingly and watched him leave in a hurry.

After Gu Yichen left, I couldn't suppress the unease in my heart, and I had a feeling that something was about to happen.

I tried to remain calm and urged everyone to continue eating.

"Sister, does Daddy not want us anymore?"

The adorable child suddenly asked in a childish voice, her big eyes filled with worry.

"How could that be? Dad is just busy with work. He loves you the most."

I picked up the adorable baby and kissed her little face.

"But Daddy never abandoned me and my sister before," the little girl pouted, looking aggrieved.

My heart ached, and I didn't know how to explain it.

At this moment, Lu Mingxuan walked over, patted the child's head, and said softly, "Uncle loves you the most too. Uncle will always be with you and your sister."

Hearing Lu Mingxuan's words, the little girl seemed a bit relieved. She blinked her big eyes and asked curiously, "Really? Uncle, will you tell me stories and play games with me like Daddy does?"

"Of course I will," Lu Mingxuan replied with a smile.

Looking into Lu Mingxuan's gentle eyes, I felt a mix of emotions.

For so many years, he has silently protected me, but I...

After dinner, Uncle Gu and Gu Yichen left in a hurry because they were worried about Gu Yichen.

Lu Mingxuan insisted on staying with me, and I couldn't refuse him, so I had to agree.

It's late at night, and the little one is already asleep.

Lu Mingxuan and I sat in the living room, chatting casually.

"Yan Yan, are you really determined to be with Gu Yichen?"

Lu Mingxuan suddenly asked, his tone tinged with bitterness.

I was silent for a moment, then looked up at him and said firmly, "Yes, I love him, and I want to be with him."

Lu Mingxuan shook his head with a wry smile, "But his background is complicated. Are you really prepared?"

“I know, but I believe in him, and I believe in myself.”

I clenched my fists, my eyes filled with determination.

"Silly girl." Lu Mingxuan reached out and ruffled my hair, his tone full of affection. "As long as you're happy, I'll always support you."

I looked at him gratefully, my heart filled with warmth.

Gu Yichen and I decided that once Gu Yichen's condition stabilizes further, we will hold a family gathering to invite relatives and friends to celebrate this period of victory and reunion.

On the day of the gathering, the sun shone brightly and the sky was cloudless, as if it were blessing us.

The villa's garden was decorated in a warm and romantic style. Amidst cheerful music, relatives and friends gathered together, their faces beaming with joy.

Uncle Gu and Gu Yichen's stepmother Du Yue also came. Although I knew that Du Yue did not approve of my relationship with Gu Yichen, she still pretended to be kind and friendly on the surface.

The adorable child, dressed in a beautiful princess dress, flitted through the crowd like a happy little butterfly, her clear laughter infectious to everyone present.

I linked arms with Gu Yichen as we moved among the guests, receiving their blessings.

He always wore a faint smile, and his eyes sparkled with happiness.

"Congratulations, Yan Yan, Yi Chen." Lu Mingxuan walked up to us with a wine glass in hand, his face full of sincere blessings. "I wish you happiness forever."

"Thank you." I smiled, raised my glass, and gently clinked it against his.

"Brother and sister-in-law, I wish you a long and happy life together and many children!"

Gu Yichen sat in a wheelchair, pushed over by a caregiver, a shy smile on his face.

Seeing that Gu Yichen, who used to be sickly, now looks much better, I feel sincerely gratified.

"Yichen, you need to get better soon too. When that happens, your sister-in-law will take you to the amusement park."

I said with a smile.

"Yes!" Gu Yichen nodded vigorously, his eyes filled with anticipation.

Just then, Gu Yichen's phone suddenly rang.

He took out his phone, glanced at the caller ID, and his expression changed slightly.

"Sorry, I'll take a call."

He muttered something under his breath, then turned and walked aside to answer the phone.

His figure looked particularly lonely in the setting sun, and a sudden unease welled up in my heart, as if something was about to happen.

He frowned, spoke in a low voice, and his expression grew increasingly serious.

My heart jumped, and a sense of foreboding washed over me.
