Love is a mistake that cannot be escaped

That symbol is exactly the same as the one Gu Yichen showed me before, the one he drew on paper!

I was overjoyed. Could it be that Gu Yichen had been here?

Did he leave a mark on me?

I suppressed my excitement and subtly looked away.

"get off!"

The man roughly opened the car door and dragged Mengmeng and me out.

I held Mengmeng in my arms, staggered a few steps, and then steadied myself.

Looking around, we found ourselves in a dense forest. Not far away stood a dilapidated factory building with dark, gaping windows that seemed like eyes peering at us, sending chills down our spines.

"Get in!"

The man shoved us and led us into the factory.

Inside the factory, the light was dim, and the air was filled with a musty and bloody smell that made one want to vomit.

"Yi Chen!"

I lowered my voice and called out tentatively.

"Yan Yan, I'm here!"

A familiar voice came from the corner.

I looked in the direction of the sound and saw Gu Yichen tied to a pillar, his body covered in wounds and his face pale, but he still looked at me with a firm gaze.

"Yi Chen!"

My heart ached terribly, tears welled up in my eyes, and I desperately tried to rush over, but the man grabbed me.

"do not move!"

The man pressed a cold dagger against my neck. "Move again, and I'll kill her!"

I froze, too afraid to move, and could only watch helplessly as Gu Yichen suffered.

"What do you want? Let us go!"

I suppressed my fear and glared at the man.

Let you go? Dream on!

The man sneered, "If you behave yourselves, I might consider letting this brat go."

As he spoke, he reached out his claws towards Mengmeng.

"do not want!"

I exclaimed in surprise and rushed forward without thinking, standing in front of Mengmeng.

"Mommy!"

Mengmeng cried out in fear.

"boom!"

Just then, a loud bang was heard, and the factory gate was smashed open by a powerful force, and a group of uniformed police officers rushed in.

"Don't move! Police!"

Leading them were Lu Mingxuan and Gu Yichen!

Lu Mingxuan and Gu Yichen?

A glimmer of hope ignited in my heart.

It seems our distress signal worked!

The sudden appearance of the police caused the man to visibly panic.

He glared at me fiercely, then grabbed Mengmeng and ran towards the back door.

"Don't let him get away, he has hostages!"

I shouted anxiously.

Several police officers immediately chased after the man.

"Yanyan!"

Gu Yichen struggled, trying to break free of the ropes binding him. "Watch out!"

That's when I realized that another man was quietly approaching me.

He held a gleaming dagger in his hand, a sinister smile playing on his lips.

My heart skipped a beat, and I instinctively took a few steps back.

"Want to run?"

The man pressed closer, saying, "Today, none of you will leave here alive!"

In the blink of an eye, he lunged at me, his sharp dagger aimed straight at my heart.

In that critical moment, I closed my eyes and waited in despair for death to come.

"what--"

A scream rang in my ears.

I opened my eyes in horror, only to find that Gu Yichen had somehow broken free of his restraints and was now standing in front of me.

The man was clearly not expected Gu Yichen to appear suddenly. He was stunned for a moment, and the dagger in his hand went astray and stabbed into Gu Yichen's arm.

"Yi Chen!"

I gasped and rushed forward without thinking, supporting the swaying Gu Yichen.

Blood flowed from between his fingers, staining my hands red.

"I'm fine..."

Despite the pain, Gu Yichen punched the man, knocking him to the ground.

The man struggled to his feet, still trying to resist, but was surrounded by police who had rushed to the scene and eventually surrendered.

Looking at the scene before me, I breathed a long sigh of relief, and my heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.

"Yan Yan, are you alright?"

Gu Yichen asked weakly, his eyes filled with worry.

I shook my head, but tears kept flowing down my face.

"Fool, why would you do that?"

I choked back tears, tenderly stroking his injured arm.

"because……"

Gu Yichen looked at me, his eyes gentle yet firm, "I can't let you get hurt."

As the sirens grew louder, I felt as if I could see a glimmer of hope.

Lu Mingxuan and Gu Yichen led the police in and quickly brought the situation under control.

I saw Mengmeng being held in a policewoman's arms. The little one was still in shock, but she still tried her best to reach out to me.

"Mother……"

At that moment, I could no longer hold back my tears. I rushed over and hugged Mengmeng tightly, as if I wanted to meld her into my very bones.

"It's alright, Mom's here, don't be afraid..."

Gu Yichen was also helped up from the ground by the police. He was pale, but he still tried to give me a reassuring smile.

In the chaos, I saw Du Yue being escorted by two policemen.

Her face, though adorned with exquisite makeup, was deathly pale, and she stared at me with malevolent eyes, as if she wanted to tear me apart.

I looked at her coldly, without a ripple of emotion in my heart.

Good and evil will eventually be rewarded; it's not that they won't be, it's just that the time hasn't come

This sudden crisis thus came to a dramatic end.

Gu Yichen and I were taken to the hospital. His injuries were more serious than mine, and he needed to be hospitalized for observation.

I sat by his bedside, holding his hand, my heart filled with mixed emotions.

"Does it still hurt?"

I asked softly, my eyes filled with heartache.

"It doesn't hurt anymore, as long as you're alright."

He grasped my hand in return, his eyes gentle and tender.

"Yichen, thank you..."

I choked up, not knowing what to say.

"Fool, we're husband and wife, why are you saying these things?"

He gently flicked my nose and said affectionately.

Yes, we are husband and wife.

Despite everything we've been through, our feelings for each other have not been diminished; on the contrary, they have become even stronger.

"From now on, let's never be apart again, okay?"

I looked up at him with a firm gaze.

"Okay, we'll never be apart again."

He agreed gently, his eyes sparkling with happiness.

Outside the window, the sun shines brightly, illuminating this hopeful world.

I believe that our future will be as warm and beautiful as this sunshine.

The sun was shining brightly on the day I was discharged from the hospital. Mengmeng was wearing the little dress that Gu Yichen had bought for her, and she was jumping around me like a happy little butterfly.

After that kidnapping, she seemed to have grown up overnight. She no longer cried and fussed like before, but instead became exceptionally dependent on me and Gu Yichen.

"Mom, Dad, let's stay together forever, okay?"

Her little hands held mine and Gu Yichen's tightly, her big eyes full of anticipation.

My heart ached, and I knelt down to kiss her little face. "Of course, we'll always be together."

Gu Yichen's father came to pick us up from the house. He was very silent the whole way, until we entered the house. Then he called out to me, "Fu Yan, come to the study with me."

My heart skipped a beat, and a bad feeling washed over me. Could it be... that he still won't accept me?

I took a deep breath, trying to remain calm, and followed Mr. Gu into the study.

"sit down."

Mr. Gu pointed to the chair opposite him, his tone serious.

I sat down nervously, awaiting his judgment.

"Thank you for your hard work this time."

Gu's father's voice was devoid of emotion.

I quickly shook my head, "It's not hard work, protecting Mengmeng is what I should do."

The study was eerily quiet; I could almost hear my own heartbeat.

Mr. Gu was silent for a moment, then took a file folder from the drawer and pushed it in front of me. “This is what your aunt and I decided after discussing it. Take a look.”

I hesitantly picked up the file folder, opened it, and was immediately stunned by what I saw inside…
