Meanwhile, at home. Gu Nanyan came back from work, and Jiang Sao excitedly reported to her, "Young Madam, the young master just called and said he would be back later today." Jiang Sao knew that he was too embarrassed to call Gu Nanyan directly, so he called the home phone. Handing her bag to Jiang Sao, Gu Nanyan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go upstairs and get ready then." However, after she bathed herself thoroughly and even put on newly bought pajamas, she waited and waited, but Lu Beicheng did not return. Seeing that it was almost eleven o'clock and Lu Beicheng still hadn't returned, Gu Nanyan lost the mood to work. She slapped the case materials in her hand onto the table and picked up the phone to call Xia Cheng, "Xia Cheng, what's going on with Lu Beicheng? Didn't he say he would come back?" Calling Xia Cheng was Gu Nanyan's last resort. Because after getting married, Lu Beicheng stopped answering her calls. If there was anything, it was always Xia Cheng who relayed the message. Being married to this extent, Gu Nanyan felt rather self-mocking. On the other end of the phone, Xia Cheng said, "Young Madam, the boss is dealing with some matters." After a pause, Xia Cheng continued, "He might not be able to make it back tonight, you'd better not wait." Hearing that Lu Beicheng would not come back, Gu Nanyan hung up the phone with a snap. You don't want to come back, that's fine! But don't call and notify the family! Giving someone hope and then dousing it with cold water, what kind of thing is this? Snap!

The mobile phone was thrown impatiently onto the desk, and Gu Nanyan lifted her hand to push her black curly long hair away from her face, feeling an indescribable frustration in her heart. She had taken a shower and changed her clothes. But in the end, he didn't come back. If this continued, she really wouldn't be able to conceive a child. Moreover, time was flying by, and just recently she felt there was still a year left, but now there were only about ten months remaining. Feeling uneasy, Gu Nanyan picked up her phone and called Lu Jingyang: 'Jingyang, you're back, right? Could you help me check what your brother is up to tonight?' On the other end of the phone: 'No problem, give me three minutes.' Lu Jingyang was Lu Beicheng's cousin and also a classmate of Gu Nanyan and Zhou Bei. Between Gu Nanyan and Lu Beicheng, Lu Jingyang unconditionally and wholeheartedly stood by Gu Nanyan's side. It wasn't long before Lu Jingyang called back. Listening to Lu Jingyang's report, Gu Nanyan's face gradually turned cold and stern, and finally, a self-mocking smile emerged. She had thought she could keep Lu Beicheng! —— In the hospital room. With his hands in his pockets, Lu Beicheng looked at Ye Chu, who had not yet awakened, and took out his left hand from his pocket to glance at his watch. Seeing that it was almost midnight, his complexion wasn't looking good. Beside him, Xia Cheng whispered, 'BOSS, the young mistress just called.' 'Hmm!' 'Why don't you go back first, I'll keep an eye on Secretary Ye.'

With his left hand tucked back into his pocket, Lu Beicheng let out a light sigh, and Ye Chu suddenly woke up with a frown. After struggling and adapting several times, she opened her eyes and saw Lu Beicheng. Her pale face instantly reddened around the eyes. Looking at Lu Beicheng through blurry tears, she called out to him hoarsely, 'Beicheng.' Ye Chu had woken up, but Lu Beicheng's complexion was even darker than before. Seeing this, Xia Cheng said sternly, 'Secretary Ye, you were too confused. If we had found you a little later today, you wouldn't have been saved.' After Xia Cheng finished speaking, tears instantly flooded Ye Chu's eyes. Propping herself up on the bed with both hands, she looked at Lu Beicheng and cried, 'Beicheng, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, I didn't want to cause you trouble, it's just that thinking about the future of my family, I felt hopeless, that's why I acted recklessly.' Wiping away a tear, she promised again, 'I won't be confused in the future, I won't do anything foolish.' Having taken nearly half a bottle of diazepam, if it weren't for the timely discovery by the housekeeper arranged by Xia Cheng, she would have probably been gone for real this time. Looking down at the tearful Ye Chu, Lu Beicheng said calmly, 'Your life won't be that difficult in the future, you don't need to think too much.'

Ye Chu's father passed away in a car accident a few years ago, and her mother's mental state has not been very good. She also has a younger brother who is only nine years old. It's impossible to say that life has no burdens, but her salary at Lu Corporation is not low, and she also has this relationship with Lu Beicheng. Lu Beicheng would not ignore her; at the very least, he would have Xia Cheng help manage her life. With the promise from Lu Beicheng, Ye Chu reached out and grabbed his arm, looking up at him: 'Beicheng, you won't ignore me, right? You will help me, won't you?' Seeing Ye Chu clinging to him like a lifeline, Lu Beicheng's right hand moved in his pocket, but in the end, he did not take it out, nor did he remove Ye Chu's hand. He looked down at her and said, 'For anything you need, you can directly contact Xia Cheng.' Xia Cheng quickly added from the side, 'Secretary Ye, the BOSS values loyalty and righteousness the most. He won't ignore you. You can directly contact me for anything in the future.' She has a life-saving grace to the BOSS, and he will definitely help her with her personal matters. She was able to stay in the secretarial office also because of this relationship. With the promise from the master and servant, Ye Chu slowly removed her hand from Lu Beicheng's arm. She said, 'Beicheng, thank you.' Then she turned to Xia Cheng: 'Assistant Xia, I've caused you trouble.'

Ye Chu woke up, and Lu Beicheng stayed in the ward for a while before leaving. It was already one o'clock in the morning. He had originally intended to return to Yulin Bay, but thinking about how he had upset her last time at the old city house, where she had slept with her back to him for an entire night, he figured it would likely be the same situation this time, so Lu Beicheng dismissed the idea of going back and asked Xia Cheng to take him to another residence. The doctor advised Ye Chu to stay in the hospital for a few days of observation, and Lu Beicheng occasionally went to see her. After all, her current state was more or less related to him. Gu Nanyan was aware of Lu Beicheng's whereabouts these past few days. Having become accustomed to it, she merely scoffed inwardly and no longer took Lu Beicheng's promises seriously, nor did she hope for his return. Once the heart grows cold, it's just that simple. However, Qin Haiyun was not so easily placated. Learning that Lu Beicheng had been visiting Ye Chu in the hospital these past few days and hadn't returned home for quite some time, she started scolding at home: 'That little vixen, it's probably all an act of playing the victim. She just sees that the relationship between Beicheng and Nanyan is improving.' Maid: 'That's for sure.' Qin Haiyun: 'No way, I can't stand her causing all this trouble, even if Nanyan doesn't care.' With that, she had the driver take her to Yulin Bay. So when Gu Nanyan got off work and returned home, she immediately saw Qin Haiyun sitting angrily in the living room. Surprised, Gu Nanyan handed her bag to the maid and asked Qin Haiyun, 'Mom, why are you here?' Hearing Gu Nanyan's voice, Qin Haiyun quickly stood up from the sofa: 'If I don't come over now, Beicheng will no longer be your husband.'

Gu Nanyan smiled: 'Mom, it's not that serious.' Despite Gu Nanyan's positive attitude, Qin Haiyun was not influenced by her. After scolding Ye Chu with her, she handed Gu Nanyan a check. Looking at the check Qin Haiyun handed over, Gu Nanyan was somewhat puzzled and asked with suspicion, 'Mom, what do you mean by this?'
