k illuminated, casting a yellowish glow that turned Lin Ruochu's pure white dress a vibrant orange-yellow. Her delicate features were also unusually yellowed under the light.It's been four hours.She t...Stepping out of the store, Lin Jinran sprinted towards the nearest door, practically bursting out of the shop in one breath.

She didn't dare linger. She couldn't stop to catch her breath, running all the way toward the apartment building near the store, and soon disappeared from the street.

Leaning against the corner wall of the residential building, Lin Jinran bent over, holding his knees and gasping for breath heavily, trying to regulate his racing heart.

Escaping was far too easy than she imagined. Lin Jinran could hardly believe she had actually left Ye Xiao's side.

Having calmed her wildly beating heart, Lin Jinran straightened up and cautiously peered in the direction of the shopping mall.

The gate bustled with people coming and going, yet there was no sign of Ye Xiao's presence. Had he noticed her disappearance Was he frantically searching for her

Whether the woods were dyed a fiery red, she couldn't tell. She dared not ponder it, for the more she thought about it, the more unbearable her feelings became.

She had to leave as quickly as possible before the Night Owls sent someone after her.

"Goodbye," Lin Jinran murmured, resolutely turning back and walking into the depths of the apartment building, searching for a new exit.

A heart-wrenching pain, unbearable and yet unable to stop Lin Jinyan from moving forward. Even tears welled up, blurring her vision.

In the mall, Ye Xiao stood still, silently holding his phone in one hand and opening an app. He pressed the location button.

A moving green dot appeared on the phone screen, slowly moving away into the distance. That little dot was Lin Jinyan running away.

Just as Ye Xiao was stroking Lin Jinyan's ink-green hair, his hand, slipping from her shoulder, casually pressed a small tracking button onto the collar of her shirt.

The Night Owl had already sensed something was amiss with Lin Jinyan. She hid it well, but the pain she felt was still impossible to completely conceal.

When you go to get your mother's belongings, be sure to go to the mall and buy something. Distract the only bodyguard by having him buy snacks, making an excuse for him not to enter the store.

All sorts of abnormal reactions, without exception, reminded Ye Xiao that Lin Jinran had a reason. He feigned ignorance, waiting for Lin Jinran's next move.

As expected, he waited, for her to quietly leave him.

Long fingers tightened around the phone, Ye Xiao's face was as dark as night, and he took long strides out of the mall.

He was furious that Lin Jinran chose to leave him, and even more enraged that Lin Jinran didn't believe in his love.

The chasm between them wasn't caused by her sleeping with someone else, nor was it because she was carrying another man's child. It was because she didn't believe his love for her could encompass all of that!

He could accept that child, for her physical condition, allowing her to be born, and even taking on the role of the child's father.

Why couldn't she, for him, stay by his side Couldn't she love him more, trust him just a little bit

Stepping out of the shopping mall, there were still crowds of people, but beside him there was no longer his beloved woman.

The bodyguard who was following him in the shadows followed along, ready to obey Night Owl's orders at any time.

The night owl raised his eyes to the sky. This time, he did not send anyone to chase after Lin Jinyan; instead, he forcefully confined her by his side.

He simply said faintly, "Follow her."

Ye Xiao wanted to see what, after all this insistence on leaving him, Lin Jinran was going to do.

Is it about wanting to give the child up for adoption, raising the child alone, or finding the biological father

Thinking of this, Ye Xiao's brows and eyes grew colder. He said in a deep voice, "If she dares to find Mu Shaocheng, bring her back and kill Mu Shaocheng!"

He could make Lin Jinyan leave, he had plenty of ways to find her and bring her back to his side.

But he absolutely won't allow Lin Jinran and Mu Shaochen to be together. He would rather have Lin Jinran hate him for life than let Mu Shaochen disappear, just to be safe!amn woman, she actually ran away.In the elevator, Lin Jinyan tilted her head and noticed the mark Fu Mochen had deliberately left on her neck. She reached out and rubbed it a few times, making it even...
