Gu Meng stared at the blood that was pouring out of the man. It had soaked the almost the entire shoulder portion of his shirt.

A thick metallic scent filled the air.

Gu Mengs eyes reddened quickly, though she didnt know if it was because of his blood bleeding non-stop, or if it was because of his cold and heartless appearance.

Why? Why must he be so cruel to her?

He already had a beautiful fiance whose status was on par with him. They would have their children in the future. But she she only had herself

Why couldnt he give her something to reminisce with?

Gu Meng was miserable and she was on the brink of breaking down.

When she was younger, her mother had been biased and had doted on and loved her younger siblings more. She had been sad, but she was naturally optimistic. As such, she had simply gotten through many things with some smiles and laughter.

However, ever since hed forgotten her, he had given her many unhappy memories.

She had tried her best to be more generous, open-minded, and optimistic, but she couldnt do it.

Being influenced by such negative emotions every day made her feel as if she was becoming depressed.

Gu Meng closed her eyes and turned around before she walked toward the balcony railing and grabbed it tightly with both her hands.

From the back, she didnt look pregnant at all.

Her back was as slender as before. In fact, she even looked a little weak.

Staring at her back, Ye Qings eyes darkened a little. He clenched his hands into tight fists and took two steps forward. He wanted to hug her trembling shoulders, but he stopped himself instantly.

He stared at her for a very long time, only turning away to leave when his shoulder had bled so much to the point that he couldnt take it anymore.

He went to his bedroom and threw a coat over his shoulders before leaving the villa hurriedly. He didnt let anyone know that he was injured.

When Ye Qings car left the villa, a person hidden in the dark, out of sight from the villa, instantly took out his phone and sent a message.

The person who sent the message was someone Dai Na had sent over.

After waiting for an hour in the palace, Dai Na hadnt seen Ye Qing return.

With a dark expression, she got her driver to send her to his office.

Since Dai Na was already Ye Qings fiance, no one stopped her from entering his office.

She entered Ye Qings office. There was no one in the cold and discretely luxurious-looking office. The door connecting the office to the lounge was opened and Dai Na walked over.

The lights werent turned on in the lounge. There was only a dim glow from the bathroom.

Ye Qing was showering.

Dai Na took a few steps toward the bathroom. From the corner of her eye, she suddenly saw a jacket that had been thrown on the bed.

There seemed to be a hint of metallic scent.

Dai Na walked toward the bed and picked the jacket up before smelling it.

Indeed, there was the metallic scent of blood.

Dai Na brought it before the window and took a closer look at it with the help of the moonlight shining in from outside.

She realized that the shoulder area of the jacket was perforated and that blood had soaked the entire area.

Was he that badly injured?

And he hadnt gone to a hospital and had instead returned to his office alone?

Dai Na furrowed her exquisite eyebrows. Did he not dare to tell anyone about it because he was protecting that person he was hiding in that villa?

Dai Nas grip on his jacket grew tighter as the veins on the back of her hands popped up.

What kind of woman was staying in that villa that made him protect and cherish her like that?

Dai Na took out her phone and took a photo.

As she heard sounds coming from the bathroom, Dai Na hurriedly put the jacket down and left the lounge.

Ye Qing walked out from the bathroom.

His wound wasnt deep, but he had bled a fair bit.

He placed medicine on the wound before wrapping a bandage around it.

He wasnt wearing any top and was only wearing a casual pair of pants.

His abdomen muscles were sexy, firm, and well-defined.

He sat on the bed, leaning his head backward. Losing too much blood had turned his lips pale. His jawline was tensed as he exuded a weakness that didnt match his status.

The scene of her taking out the fruits knife and stabbing his shoulder kept replaying in his mind.

How much did she hate and despise him to actually do it?

At the thought of her naive and bright smile in the past, Ye Qing suddenly felt that he was an executioner.

He was the one who had personally killed her source of happiness.

Even after Ye Qing left, Gu Meng didnt feel sleepy at all.

At first, she still had some hope.

After all, he had gotten engaged with the Princess and it was definite that they would get married in the future.

The Princess definitely wouldnt like her child. Her child might not have a comfortable life with them.

Although her child wouldnt experience a fatherly love with her, she would love and dote on him more and not let him suffer a bit.

However, Ye Qing had rejected her request right away.

There had been no room for negotiation.

Gu Meng felt that her entire world had turned gray.

The more she thought about it, the more miserable she felt.

She was about to break down, about to suffocate!

She returned to her room and took out the phone from under her bed.

She turned the phone on and stared at the phone screen. Her gaze was blank and confused.

Who should she call?

Xiao Xi was her best friend and had gotten her happiness now. She couldnt let her negative emotions affect Xiao Xi.

A face flashed past Gu Mengs mind.

Fu Cheng.

Gu Meng called him.

The ringtone rang twice before someone picked up the call. Xiao Meng?

Hearing Fu Chengs voice, Gu Meng was instantly overwhelmed by the urge to cry, and her eyes reddened. Brother Fu, I dont know what to do now. He already has the Princess. Why does he still want to fight with me for this child?

At first, I wanted to leave after having the child. But during the prenatal checkup today, I realized that I cant bear to part with him after hearing his strong heartbeat.

I talked to him and begged him to give me the child but he said that there were no grounds for negotiations!

Hes the almighty Third Prince while Im only an ordinary fishing villages girl I dont know if this is Gods punishment for me indulging in such a wild fantasy and overestimating myself before. Is it?

Even though they were separated by a call, Fu Cheng could still feel Gu Mengs pain and pressure. She had been such an optimistic girl in the past and yet, she was suffering so much right now!

She couldnt even take care of the child she had carried for ten months.

If Fu Cheng hadnt seen how great Gu Meng was to Ah Dai in the fishing village, he probably wouldnt have involved himself in this matter. After all, with his capability, he wouldnt be able to do anything to Ye Qing.

However, Gu Meng was too pitiful.

Back in the fishing village, her parents hadnt doted on her or loved her. She had given her everything to a man who had lost his memories but in the end, the man remembered everything and forgot only about her!

Xiao Meng, I will save you!

Hearing Fu Chengs words, Gu Meng shivered. Brother Fu, I only wanted to find someone to vent my emotions. Please dont take the risk. I dont want to implicate you. Brother Fu, Brother Fu

Before Gu Meng could finish speaking, Fu Cheng had already hung up the call.

When Gu Meng called him once more, she was notified that he had already turned off his phone.

Gu Meng furrowed her eyebrows tightly as she hurriedly sent a message to him.

Once she was done, she called him again. However, she was informed once again that his phone was turned off.

Gu Meng threw the phone on the bed and buried her head in her hands.

She should never have called Fu Cheng.

However, thinking about it again, he probably didnt know where she lived either. So, even if he wanted to take her away, he wouldnt be able to find her.

At this thought, her unsettled heart calmed down a little.
