The dark night always gave people a mysterious feeling, especially on this rainy night, it added a layer of solemnness and fear to it. When Duan Wenzhuo was cuddled in Tang Hongbo's embrace, it would be false to say that there was no fear in her heart.
In her heart, Tang Hongbo had always been her elder sister's lover, but she couldn't help but like him. No matter how much she rejected him on normal days, her heart still moved closer to him.
When Tang Hongbo heard this, he pursed his lips into a smile and reached out to grab her hand: "Nothing will be more genuine than this."
"But why do I feel like you've been avoiding me recently? Has something happened? " Tang Hongbo asked.
Duan Wenzhuo did not say anything. She just opened her eyes in the dark night, wanting to see his current expression, but she could not see anything. She was sure that she liked him, but she felt a sense of desolation and loneliness.
"It's nothing, it's just Sister Wenyu, what should I say?" Duan Wenzhuo was dazed for a moment as she muttered to herself.
Maybe it was because he heard Duan Wenyu's name that Tang Hongbo couldn't help but snort. In his heart, he understood what Duan Wenyu had done, but the little woman in his embrace did not know. No matter how angry she was, she could not speak to him.
"Do you really trust your Sister Wenyu that much?"
Duan Wenzhuo laughed in the darkness.
"Of course, if it wasn't for her, I wouldn't be returning to the Duan Clan right now. Although I have always been regretful about coming back, I feel very gratified because of Sister Wenyu. Only she would truly treat me like a little sister and help me. When Duan Wenzhuo talked about Duan Wenyu, she became more talkative, and her mood seemed to improve a lot.
Tang Hongbo sighed softly. He knew in his heart why Duan Wenyu had come to find her, and if it hadn't been for Duan Wenzhuo, she wouldn't have been able to escape so smoothly.
Leaving Duan Wenzhuo to bear the pressure of the clan alone, and also making her bear the burden of thinking that he had lost her, made him know that all these years, Duan Wenzhuo had been living in guilt.
That was why she was willing to let herself be bullied and humiliated. She did not complain at all, because she knew in her heart that she was the one who lost Duan Wenyu, and she was the one who caused an accident to her.
So no matter how much he tortured her, she would not resist. She silently endured. She thought she could redeem herself this way and make her heart feel better.
And he was tormenting her.
But when the truth was revealed, he wished that he could strangle himself. All of the harm he did to her turned into loathing and hatred towards Duan Wenyu.
He had hated Duan Wenzhuo so much back then and how he hated Duan Wenyu now. She did not hesitate to hurt him and the pure and kind Duan Wenzhuo, just for his sake.
He already didn't recognize her, but Tang Hongbo was deep in thought and couldn't help but hug Duan Wenzhuo tightly. All the injuries he had once given her had now turned into guilt and love.
He swore that he would never let anyone hurt her again.
"Hongbo, why aren't you talking? Also, you're hugging me a little too tightly, I can't even breathe." Duan Wenzhuo said softly, and she was truly holding her back a little.
"Is that so? I want to hug you tighter, just in case one day you run away. " When Tang Hongbo heard this, he did not let go of her and only changed to a more comfortable position to hug her.
"No, I'm not going anywhere." Duan Wenzhuo just wanted to stay by his side and not go anywhere.
"Alright, I will always be by your side, and our child as well." Tang Hongbo said as he kissed her forehead.
He thought that as long as Duan Wenyu took care of himself, he wouldn't make things difficult for her. After all, Duan Wenzhuo thought that she was a good older sister, and he didn't want her to know the truth, nor did he want to make her sad.
In her heart, perhaps Duan Wenyu was even more important than her.
"Yes, and children, do you think our children are boys or girls?" Duan Wenzhuo asked stupidly.
"It's all good. As long as it's you and my child, I will like them." Tang Hongbo reached out and touched her stomach. There was a life quietly growing there, and this was the first time he felt the greatness of life.
"Heh, I thought you …" Duan Wenzhuo suddenly smiled and did not continue.
"Then why?" Tang Hongbo asked.
"Nothing, I just feel that you seem different now." Duan Wenzhuo said gently, her voice becoming more pleasing to the ear in the darkness.
"Then what was I like before?" Tang Hongbo laughed out loud.
"Don't you know what you look like? At all times, my entire body is filled with hostility and I can never laugh. I can always speak harshly and coldly to me, and … " The rest of Duan Wenzhuo's words were stuffed into Tang Hongbo's mouth.
It was a gentle kiss, as if she was afraid it would hurt.
When the kiss ended, Tang Hongbo lowered his gaze to her forehead and said with an unstable aura.
"Wenzhuo, make us forget those unhappy things in the past. I'm sorry, in the future we will only remember happy things alright?"
In the darkness, a tear fell from Duan Wenzhuo's eyes. It fell onto the snow-white pillow.
She could not suppress the excitement in her heart. She knew that she had already hopelessly fallen in love with him and she was destined to let Duan Wenyu down.
The two of them who were intimate with each other in the room didn't know that someone was secretly peeping at them from the door.
Duan Wenyu clenched both his hands tightly, his nails digging into the flesh of his palms, his eyes filled with hatred and his face filled with it, clearly showing her current mood.
She did not dare believe that Tang Hongbo, who she had actually fallen for, would actually … She could not believe it at all. She stubbornly thought that Tang Hongbo only wanted to do this because of the child in her womb.
After all, he grew up with her and Tang Hongbo. Only she could match Tang Hongbo, so he was sure that Mrs. Tang's position would be hers.
She looked sharply at their closed door.
In the end, she didn't know who fell asleep first, but it was a good night's sleep for Duan Wenzhuo and it was also the night that she would never forget.
The morning mist was very thick, and Tang Hongbo was the first one to wake up. Seeing Duan Wenzhuo peacefully sleeping in the crook of his arm, he felt a burst of satisfaction in his heart.
He gently removed his arm and kissed her on the forehead.
He stood up and opened the curtain. It was still drizzling outside the window, and the fog was a bit thick. He didn't open the window, but only pulled open the curtain, letting the light in from the dark room.
When he went downstairs, he saw Duan Wenyu helping the nanny cook breakfast. Thinking back to last night, he was in a very good mood when he showed his intentions to Duan Wenzhuo, and when he saw Duan Wenyu, his expression did not look that bad anymore.
"Hongbo, you're up. You can eat breakfast soon." Duan Wenyu turned her head and laughed.
Tang Hongbo nodded his head.
"Has the lady not woken up yet? I'll get her. " He smiled.
"I'll go." Duan Wenyu immediately said.
"No need, she slept late last night, let her sleep a bit more." Tang Hongbo said indifferently.
Duan Wenyu's smile froze on her face, but it quickly disappeared as her hands clenched into fists behind her.
After all, Wenzhuo is pregnant right now, so it's good for her to sleep more. Duan Wenyu said with feigned generosity.
After breakfast, the nanny looked at the time and said.
"Sir, Madam has already woken up at this time every day. Why is it that she hasn't woken up yet?" The nanny said with concern.
Tang Hongbo looked at the watch on her wrist. It was already 9: 30, and it was already time for her to go to work.
"Sir, I think it's better if I go take a look." the nurse said anxiously.
"Forget it, I'll go." Tang Hongbo said as he stood up and walked towards the stairs.
"I'll go with you." Duan Wenyu also stood up, but a proud look flashed past her eyes.
Tang Hongbo did not refuse and went upstairs with Duan Wenyu. The nanny followed behind the two of them.
When Tang Hongbo pushed open the door, he saw Duan Wenzhuo lying on the ground with her body curled up in pain.
"Wenzhuo." Tang Hongbo strode forward and carried her.
Duan Wenzhuo reached out to grab his collar, and said with a painful voice.
"Hongbo, child, child, quickly save, save, child." She couldn't tell if it was sweat or tears.
Tang Hongbo turned pale with fright.
"Wenzhuo, what's wrong? Wenzhuo? Aunt Liu, quickly call 120. " Tang Hongbo hugged her, his voice trembling.
Aunt Liu, who had been scared witless, immediately responded and went downstairs to make a call.
"How can this be? Wenzhuo, are you alright? " Duan Wenyu pretended to be hurt and went forward to be concerned.
But Duan Wenzhuo had already fainted.
"Go away, I don't need you here." Tang Hongbo carried Duan Wenzhuo downstairs with an ashen face.
Duan Wenyu looked at his cold back, and bit hard on her lips. Otherwise, if her tears would fall, her eyes would still be filled with hatred and grievance.
The ambulance came quickly.
Tang Hongbo sat on the bench, with his hands folded across his face. From time to time, he would raise his head to look at the red light on the door of the emergency room.
Duan Wenzhuo leaned on the wall, looked at Tang Hongbo, and said gently.
"Hongbo, don't worry, Vin will definitely be fine."
She did not receive Tang Hongbo's response as she took a deep breath, thinking that it was indeed true. Duan Wenzhuo, it's best if she doesn't wake up.
An hour later, the red light finally went out and the doctors came out of the emergency room one after another. They didn't wait for Tang Hongbo to ask anything and took the initiative to go up and tell him about Duan Wenzhuo's situation.
