Love is a mistake that cannot be escaped

We didn't end up going to that dessert shop.

Gu Yichen said there was an urgent matter at the company and left in a hurry, after which there was no further news.

I felt uneasy, as if something was about to happen.

As evening fell, Gu Yichen returned home with a gloomy expression, holding his phone in his hand, without saying a word.

I had never seen him with such a solemn expression; it felt as if my heart was being gripped tightly by an invisible hand.

"What's wrong? Is something serious at the company?" I asked tentatively, my voice trembling slightly with nervousness.

He took a deep breath, walked to my side, and pulled me into his arms, his voice low and menacing: "Yan Yan, we might be in trouble."

"What trouble?" My heart sank.

He took out his phone, opened the call log, and turned the screen towards me: "Remember that anonymous call? I had someone check, it was Du Yue's number."

"What?!" I stared wide-eyed in disbelief. "How could it be her? Why would she do this?"

"She probably found out about your regained memories and was worried that you would expose her true colors, so she..."

At this point, Gu Yichen suddenly stopped, a ruthless glint in his eyes: "Since she wants to fight to the death, then don't blame me for being impolite!"

I realized that a storm was brewing...

He held me tightly in his arms, his tone gentle yet resolute: "Yan Yan, you and the baby can't stay here any longer. I have to take you to a safe place."

My heart skipped a beat, and I gripped his sleeve anxiously: "Where are you taking me? Are you leaving me?"

He cupped my face in his hands, his deep eyes filled with worry and determination: "No, I'm just trying to protect you. Trust me, I'll bring you back soon."

I understand his concerns. Du Yue has become ruthless and insane. My child and I are her biggest threat. Only by leaving here can we guarantee our safety.

I bit my lip and nodded gently.

He immediately arranged for people to secretly take me and the child to a villa in the suburbs.

Before leaving, I hugged him tightly and whispered in his ear, "Be careful, the children and I are waiting for you to come back."

He kissed my forehead and said firmly, "Wait for me."

As I watched the car drive away, I felt as if my heart had been hollowed out.

Although the villa was luxurious and comfortable, I couldn't feel happy at all; my mind was filled with images of Gu Yichen.

As evening fell, Lu Mingxuan and Gu Yichen arrived at the villa. Seeing them, a glimmer of hope ignited in my heart, and I hurriedly went to greet them: "Where's Yichen? Is he alright?"

Lu Mingxuan patted my shoulder and comforted me, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, my brother is fine. He has some things to take care of right now and can't come over for the time being."

Gu Yichen also came over, a hint of worry on his pale face: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, my brother has arranged everything, we will all protect you."

I suppressed my unease and nodded.

I know this is not the time for sadness and fear. I must be strong, for the sake of my child and for Gu Yichen.

"Does Yichen have any plans?" I asked.

Lu Mingxuan and Gu Yichen exchanged a glance, a cold glint flashing in their eyes.

"Since Du Yue wants to play, then we'll play along to the end!" The tranquility of the villa didn't put my mind at ease for long; unease clung to me like vines.

Lu Mingxuan and Gu Yichen's faces were unusually solemn, and the air seemed to be filled with the smell of gunpowder that could be ignited at any moment.

"Sister-in-law, there's news from my brother's side," Lu Mingxuan suddenly said, his tone urgent.

My heart tightened, and I quickly asked, "How is he? Is he alright?"

“My brother is fine, it’s just…” He paused, seemingly choosing his words carefully.

Du Yue somehow learned that you had regained your memories, and now she has joined forces with several family elders to take over the Gu Group and seize power completely.

My face turned pale instantly, and my heart felt as if it had fallen into an ice cave.

Du Yue is determined to fight to the death and completely destroy Gu Yichen!

"How dare she?!" I could barely control my emotions, my voice trembling. "Isn't she afraid of the rest of the Gu family objecting?"

Gu Yichen gave a bitter smile, his eyes cold: "Oppose? Those old guys have long been corrupted by Du Yue's sweet talk. They can't wait for Big Brother to fall so they can divide up Gu's assets."

I slumped helplessly onto the sofa, my mind a complete mess.

How could this happen? Are Yichen, our child, and I really going to become victims of this power struggle?

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, my brother has made thorough preparations. We won't sit idly by and wait to die."

Lu Mingxuan clenched his fist, his eyes flashing with determination.

Just then, a rapid telephone ring broke the silence of the room.

Lu Mingxuan answered the phone, his expression instantly turning serious.

"What?! How could this be?!" He stood up abruptly, his voice filled with shock and disbelief.

My heart leaped into my throat, a sense of foreboding washing over me: "What's wrong? What happened?"

Lu Mingxuan took a deep breath, slowly put down his phone, and looked at me with a complex emotion in his eyes.

"Du Yue, she's been kidnapped..."
