CHAPTER 838: CHAPTER 838: YOU WILL PAY THE PRICE (5)

"It’s true, all of it is true." Uncle Tang’s tears wouldn’t stop at all, crying fiercely, not because Xiao Yebai was lost, but because of Xiao Jianming’s current mental state, "That night, Chairman, we all told you, and you said it was nothing, then you went to sleep. In the end, none of us knew that you deliberately forgot about this matter, and then—"

Xiao Jianming’s five fingers started clutching the fabric over his chest, gripping tightly.

Gu Nuan’s words before leaving the room: You’ll pay for this—

With a thud, he collapsed onto the large desk.

"Chairman, Chairman—" Uncle Tang called out, summoning the standby family doctor.

Bending down to check on Xiao Jianming’s breathing, it seemed as if he heard the final breath laden with a single word: Ruzhen—

When Gu Nuan walked out of the villa, the road outside was naturally pitch dark apart from the streetlights.

The autumn wind blew fiercely, passing through the near-empty void in her heart.

Zhan Dapeng opened the car door, truly afraid that something might happen to her in this state. He cautiously helped her into the seat first, then buckled the seatbelt for her and closed the door.

As he circled back to the driver’s seat and began driving, he seemed to see her unfastening the seatbelt.

"Sister-in-law." He hurriedly got into the car, pressing his hands over hers, "Sister-in-law, don’t rush, let’s go back and discuss it with Third Brother. I, Zhan Dapeng, swear to you, if we don’t find Second Brother, I won’t go on living either!"

Gu Nuan frowned, looked down at his hands pressing on hers until they turned red, and said, "I just need to go to the restroom."

Zhan Dapeng froze for a moment.

Gu Nuan said, "Since getting pregnant, I’ve had to go to the bathroom more often than usual."

Of course, this is a normal reaction during pregnancy.

Zhan Dapeng reluctantly withdrew his hands in slight embarrassment, simultaneously feeling skeptical about her words. He sped the Ferrari to the nearest public restroom.

Gu Nuan walked into the women’s restroom. Zhan Dapeng stood waiting at the entrance, not caring how the women and old ladies passing by viewed him, occasionally peering inside out of concern.

Inside the restroom, Gu Nuan took out a handkerchief, wetted it with water, and washed her face.

In the mirror, she could clearly see the dark circles under her eyes.

So ugly. Is this really her?

If he saw her like this, what would he think?

Would he say, "Nuannuan, my formidable wife, is this all you can take to be defeated like this?"

Inexplicably, she looked at the mirror and her lips curled slightly upward, not knowing who she was smiling at.

Her fingers slowly moved to her currently inconspicuous slightly rounded belly.

In the past, she always worried that if the baby turned out to be a replica of him, another Great Sage Equalling Heaven, what would she do? But now, she only thought—how wonderful!

Zhan Dapeng was probably waiting impatiently outside and wanted to go inside, but was grabbed by an old lady who didn’t like the look of him.

"What are you sneaking around outside the women’s restroom for? Pervert! I’ll call the police!"

"Don’t talk nonsense, Auntie! I’m just, my friend has been in there too long, and I’m worried something happened to her—" Zhan Dapeng explained hurriedly, but the old lady didn’t believe a word of it.

The old lady thought only men up to no good would loiter around the women’s restroom.

"No excuses necessary!" the old lady tugged at his clothes forcefully, "I’m taking you to the police! I’ve seen plenty of men like you making excuses. Trying to sneak into the women’s restroom to act shady, let’s see how I deal with you!"
