Yu Fei wakes up. She dazes at the ceiling of the hospital and frowns due to the light smell of disinfectant fluid in the air. Some fragments flash through her mind abruptly, and her pupils contract, and she looks at her belly automatically.

Is the baby all right?

“So you know you should care this baby,I thought you didn’t want it.”

A mocking serious voice rises above her head. Yu Fei raises her head and sees Gu Yi’s straight face. Her fingers are held together and tremble in a tight manner. She feels the gauze on her hands.

Seeing her concerned look, Gu Yi knows he can’t bring himself to scare her, “Don’t worry, your baby is alive. It’s just a little dangerous. The doctor asks you to take your pills, lie in bed and prevent miscarriage and don’t get too excited, either…”

A babble of enjoinment relieves Yu Fei. At the same time,she can’t help but consider that since Ko Chen doesn’t care whether the baby is dead or alive, she might as well abort it.

On this very thought she is taken aback. This is her and Ko Chen’s baby, and how can she be so cruel? Yu Fei is too frightened to think further. She fears that she will take things too hard.

Gu Yi is pretty considerate and doesn’t ask the reason why she fell on the road. He takes care of her gently and thoughtfully. Although he can guess what happened, Yu Fei is still very grateful to him for maintaining her self-esteem.

While Gu Yi is away, she sends a message to Ko Chen, saying that she is in hospital. But after waiting for a long time, she finds her cell phone still lies quiet on the table, without any movement.

Yu Fei’s heart sinks gradually.

A day passed, and the phone still remains silent. Yu Fei is so disappointed that she breaks it ferociously.

Gu Yi just comes in from the outside and witnesses this scene in which Yu Fei looks furious.

They are speechless. Yu Fei takes lead in moving away her sight and is ready to lie down and hide herself.

Gu Yi observes her intentions, and takes away the quilt first, and says, “Yu Fei, we need to talk about it.”

“There is nothing to talk about, I have to prevent miscarriage and get ready to sleep.” She tactfully issues an expulsion order. Although she tries to control her anger, her tone is not friendly.

Gu Yi pretends not to hear it. He holds the quilt in his place. The scene is frozen.

Yu Fei is both guilty and annoyed, and why does he care so much? But at length her guilt prevails, as he saved her and always helped her.

“I’m sorry, I…”

“Have a good rest. If you want to prevent miscarriage, you shouldn’t be at rage. The doctor said you can’t be too thrilled.”

Gu Li gives the quilt back to Yu Fei and walks out of the ward in silence.

Looking at his back, Yu Fei’s tears roll down in a flash. She feels terrible. Undoubtedly, it has nothing to do with Gu Yi, why did she vent her anger on him?

He must be sad now, isn’t he? Yu Fei makes countless apologies in her mind, feeling worse and worse, as if there were fire burning her chest. She is pretty confused, like a helpless bird trapped in the forest when a storm approaches and doesn’t know where to go.

With Gu Yi’s care, Yu Fei stays in hospital for a week, during which she doesn’t receive any news from Ko Chen. She once suspects that he has forgotten her.

It is Gu Yi who pays her hospitalization expenses all through. Yu Fei is embarrassed to trouble her for such a long time. A week later, after the doctor confirms that she can get out of the bed, she takes a taxi and goes back to Ko’s estate.

Passing by the newsstand, she sees Ko Chen and Yu Yu’s photos on the entertainment pages of the newspaper. In the photo they went in and out of the bar and the hospital. It also reports that Yu Yu has Ko Chen’s baby and something else. Yu Fei feels struck by lightning.

It’s just idle reports and paparazzi have never any professional qualities. Yu Fei wants to convince herself with this reason, but the scene she saw in the parking lot that day is still on her mind.

She even can’t prevent herself from thinking that Yu Yu really has Ko Chen’s baby, and Ko Chen attaches more importance to her sister’s baby, so he is not willing to admit her.

For a moment, she feels like the sky is about to collapse, and a burst of blackness appears in front of her eyes. She barely keeps her feet, stumbles to the side of the road, stops a taxi, and goes back to Ko House in a gloomy mood.

“Mrs. Ko, you’re back.” Uncle Zhang was astonished to see her.

Yu Fei doesn’t know whether it’s her illusion, and she always feels he is avoiding eye contact, “Yes, I’m back. Is Chen at home?”

Uncle Zhang is in a daze again, with a weird expression, “Yeah, he’s at home.”

Her feeling of uneasiness grows stronger and stronger. Yu Fei passes him gloomily and walks into the room.

Uncle Zhang sends a message to Ko Chen stealthily in a hurry, reminding him of Yu Fei’s arrival.

On receiving the message, Ko Chen immediately props up his weak body and rises to his feet, kicks open the door to the guest room, and pulls up Yu Yu who is sleeping from the bed, “Get up, if you don’t want to be driven out.”

Yu Yu was already awake at the moment the door was opened. Seeing Ko Chen walking straight to her, she thinks Ko can’t bear loneliness and comes to her. Without hesitation, she shows her sexy shoulder and throws herself in his arms.

Unexpectedly, Ko Chen doesn’t refuse.

When Yu Yu is still in doubt, she hears Yu Fei’s trembling voice.

“You…” The instant her guess is confirmed, Yu Fei’s world is broken and fragmented.

“Sister, we really love each other, will you bless us?” Yu Fei’s appearance also surprises Yu Yu, but she quickly sobers up, and she knows that as long as she is entangled with Ko Chen, Yu Fei will quit due to her cowardice.

At that time, Ko Family’s young mistress and Ko Company are both the apple in her hands.

“Blessing?” Yu Fei sneers and trembles with anger, “you take away my husband and want me to bless you? In your dream!”

Yu Fei is so raged that she picks up the vase on the table and hits it at Yu Yu, who is so scared that she hides behind Ko Chen to play “helpless”.

“Are you going to protect her?” Yu Fei holds the vase with tears in her eyes and her fingers whiten. She doesn’t understand that the so-called virginity can really change a man so much that he can forget the oath of the past?

So the famous Ko Chen has unreasonable virginity complex?

“Yu Fei, you’re like a bitch right now,” he frowns and says tranquilly and impersonally as if he were stating a simple fact.

However, his words are more lethal than any abuse, insult or desperate words. Yu Fei almost falls down.

“You said I’m like a bitch?” Her tears burst out.

Ko Chen has to look away, and he’s afraid that he can’t help but hold her in his arms and apologize.

In fact, he is happy because Yu Fei cares him so much. But he has to hurt her, forcing her to leave.

Love is hurt, I’ll let you go.

“Ko Chen, answer me! Why don’t say a word? I’m your wife, shouldn’t you give me an explanation in this situation?” Yu Fei can hardly help but burst out, shouting at him and crying. No matter what she does, Ko Chen just doesn’t give her any response.

“I beg you, explain to me, will you? As long as you explain, I’ll believe you.”

It’s not that Yu Fei didn’t face the silent Ko Chen before, but that she has never been so grievous and helpless as today.
