"Don’t cry." Bai Ran opened her eyes, smiling as she raised a hand to wipe away his tears, "Isn’t the child okay? And I managed to escape too; that’s already our greatest fortune." Ning Qinglin suddenly hugged her tightly, with such force as if trying to meld her into his bones, "Ranran, without you, I can’t go on living either." Bai Ran glared at him and covered his mouth with her hand, "Phooey, phooey, phooey, don’t say such discouraging things. Even if one day I’m gone, you can’t give up. Do you want to leave Xi’er alone in this world? You have to promise me, no matter which of us leaves first one day, the other must live on well, live for both of us." Ning Qinglin sighed, "Ranran, you are too cruel to me." Thinking of the perilous time, fear welled up in Bai Ran’s heart, and she couldn’t help but hold him tightly, seeking comfort in his embrace. She closed her eyes and said tenderly, "That day will never come. We’ll grow old together..." A soft cough suddenly broke the moment, awakening them. Bai Ran looked toward the door and saw a graceful young girl smiling, "Sorry to interrupt." As she spoke, she turned to leave. "Yun Ya, stop right there." Bai Ran quickly called out. Yun Ya turned around with a smile, raising her eyebrows slightly, a hint of mischief in her eyes. Bai Ran blushed, feeling a bit embarrassed, and pushed Ning Qinglin, "I want to eat starfruit, go get some for me." Knowing they wanted to talk, Ning Qinglin found it inappropriate to stay, so he got up and left. As he passed by Yun Ya, he nodded and smiled. Once he was gone, Yun Ya walked to Bai Ran’s bedside, sat down, and looked at Bai Ran’s pale face, asking, "Aunt Bai, how’s your health? Is the child alright?" Bai Ran lay back down, letting one hand rest on her abdomen, and sighed softly, "The child is very strong." "It seems this little sister will have great accomplishments in the future. Aunt Bai, you’re lucky." Bai Ran gave her a look, "You only know how to say sweet words to make me happy." Yun Ya laughed, "Isn’t it true? Aunt Bai, you don’t know how many women envy you. You’ve married a perfect man, loyal and devoted to you, and your child is lively, smart, and adorable. Now you’re pregnant with a daughter. It seems like your life is perfect." Bai Ran’s eyes showed some complexity, "Being too lucky, even the heavens can get jealous. Recently, I’ve always felt uneasy, as if something bad is about to happen. Now it has come true. I don’t know what dangers the future holds." Yun Ya’s eyes narrowed slightly, "Aunt Bai, what’s the thing you regret the most in your life?" Bai Ran found the question strange but answered after thinking for a while, "Marrying Yun Shen is the thing I regret most in my life." Thinking she was doing it for her family, she sacrificed her marriage and ten years. Ultimately, her family discarded her without hesitation. It’s ironic. People should live for themselves. She wasted ten years and failed the person she loved deeply. Fortunately, it’s not too late. Yun Ya suddenly smiled, a gentle yet somewhat cold smile, making Bai Ran’s pupils contract slightly, "Yun Ya... you." "But some people don’t think so." The ambiguous statement left Bai Ran confused.

Bai Ran didn’t understand what Yun Ya meant by that, but instinctively she felt it was important, yet she couldn’t figure it out no matter how hard she tried. Was it related to Yun Shen? Anything related to Yun Shen, she instinctively resisted, rubbing her aching temples, she stopped thinking about it. Leaving the hospital, the sunlight fell on her, but she felt no warmth. The killing had already begun. In places out of her sight, lives were being claimed silently. Looking up at the sun, squinting slightly from its glare, she thought it was necessary to see someone. For two years, she had resisted seeing a particular person. The relative of hers imprisoned with a twenty-year sentence. She was mentally prepared, so when she saw the man sitting behind the glass, wearing handcuffs and shackles, she wasn’t too surprised. Although looking the same, he was not the Yun Shen she knew.
