keep her trapped. He opened the car door for her. The fresh air rushed in all at once, stinging his lungs.Wen Man left without looking back.Back at the apartment, Xiaobai wagged his tail as Wenman fed...Late at night, two bowls of simple egg noodles.

yet makes one feel warm.

There's no maid at home, Qin Yu was about to wash the dishes when Zhang Baiyan stopped him and said, "I'll wash! You rest first."

Qin Yu blinked lightly.

After a while she said, "I'm not that delicate either. I can do housework too."

But Zhang Baiyan wouldn't let her.

He whispered to her, "Qin Yu, I keep you by my side not to have you suffer with me. At least when I'm home, you don't need to do these chores."

Qin Yu didn't say anything more!

Chapter Baiyan put the bowl and dishes into the washing pool. He rolled up his shirt sleeves to do housework, actually he hadn't done housework for many years. Since his career was successful, there was no need for him to lift a finger.

But now, he was very calm.

This seemingly down-and-out night made him think of his childhood and the hardships he and his mother had endured.

After his mother passed away, he no longer had a proper home.

And now, Qin Yu made him feel warm.

As if he didn't know, the night could also be so peaceful.

The rain outside is still falling steadily, the flowers and trees in the courtyard are covered with water droplets, glistening under the lights.

Zhang Baiyan was embraced from behind.

He turned his head to look, Qin Yu's face pressed against his shoulder, her voice soft, "Zhang Baiyan, I feel like it's actually pretty good that you went bankrupt!"

His heart softened.

After a long while, he spoke in a low voice, "I haven't suffered yet! I might not think this way in the future."

Qin Yu tightened her arms and said she had some private money.

But she also knew that Zhang Baiyan wouldn't want to use her family's money, he would support them, mother and son... They were like this, one washing dishes, the other speaking softly behind her.

Several plates, it took a full half hour to wash them.

This night, they slept particularly soundly...

When the sun rose, Zhang Baiyan made breakfast for Qin Yu.

He went to handle company matters.

When Qin Yu woke up, Zhang Baiyan was already gone from the bed. The pillow beside him had long since cooled down, and only the quilt retained his warmth.

Last night they slept together, lying down and talking for a long time.

Later, she saw him closing his eyes but still answering her.

Qin Yu then said nothing more. She rested her head on his shoulder, quietly listening to the rain and feeling an unusual peace within her heart.

She got up, washed her face and brushed her teeth, tidied up the bedroom, and went downstairs.

To his surprise, his parents came over!

Upon seeing Qin Yu, the couple's expressions became complex. Especially Qin Father, whose gaze was fixed on her abdomen, as if she were a thorn in his eye and a splinter in his flesh.

Qin Yu stood in the middle of the stairs, she did not come down.

Qin Mu opened her mouth first, her tone still relatively gentle, "Qin Yu, my husband and I came here to ask about your plans!"

What are you thinking

Qin Yu softly asked, "What do Mom and Dad think I should plan for"

Qin's mother hesitated to speak.

She's soft-tempered and used to relying on her husband, so she still wants him to make the decisions. Under her gaze, Qin's father spoke in a strong tone, "I don't know what Zhang Baiyan is thinking. He should have at least done some PR and taken his pregnant wife out of there! Most of the dirt would have fallen on that woman! But he didn't. He was foolishly taking on everything and watched helplessly as the company went bankrupt. Maybe he thought it would be easy to make a comeback, maybe he thought my father-in-law would help him, but he was wrong. He thought too optimistically. Our Qin family doesn't play by his rules...Qin Yu, I told you yesterday on the phone: abort the child and come home to your parents. With your qualifications, you won't find anyone much better."

Qin Yu listened quietly.

After a while, she asked Qin's mother, "Mom, do you think the same way"

Qin Mu hesitated for a long time and persuaded, "Your father is right! Qin Yu, why are you hanging yourself on one tree Zhang Baiyan is going to be poor for a lifetime. You must not think too much about it."

Qin Yu lowered her eyes and slowly went downstairs.

She didn't greet her parents on the sofa and walked straight to the dining table to eat.

Breakfast was made by Zhang Baiyan for her and it tasted very good.

She had a bowl of congee and a piece of egg cake... She didn't know before that Zhang Baiyan was such a good cook.

Qin's father stared at her with eyes full of venomous hatred.

He saw his daughter was unyielding, and couldn't help but sneer, "A few egg pancakes bought you out Qin Yu, where did your brain go He's an unfaithful man, he did something wrong to you, do you still want to protect him"

Qin Yu raised her eyes and looked at her father in silence for a long time.

She spoke softly, "Dad! Haven't you ever done anything wrong to Mom ... Besides, although Zhang Baiyan is down on his luck now, when he had the ability, didn't you ever ask him for help"

She sounded a little less intense. "Haven't you asked him to handle the things you're not comfortable with"

Qin's father was stunned.

He didn't expect Qin Yu to know about him keeping a female student outside and having a son with her.

He kept this a secret.

He looked at his wife with guilt. After all, Qin Yu's mother's family was very influential. Even though he controlled his wife mentally, how could he dare to expose those outrageous things

Qin's father was at a loss for words.

And Qin Mu looked at her husband with suspicion, after a long pause, she asked, "Qin Li Ren, are you hiding something from me"

Qin's father immediately put on a virtuous and upright demeanor.

He said, "How is that possible"

He was the most eloquent, and over the years, he had managed to win over his mother-in-law. With just a few words, he could dispel her doubts. However, his father-in-law dared not provoke his daughter anymore, after all, he still had a weakness that Qin Yu held over him.

But he was still not happy. He spoke sullenly as he left.

He said, "Qin Yu, since you've made such a decision, then let me and your mother make our stance clear. If you insist on staying by Zhang Baiyan's side, don't even think about taking any of the Qin family's property!"

Qin Yu's face was pale.

Actually, she had expected it, but when her father said it, it still hurt.

She knew he was going to leave his fortune to his illegitimate son.

Mother Qin looked troubled, though she still had a soft spot for her daughter. Father Qin glared at her, "It's you who spoiled her! You spoiled her so much that she can't tell right from wrong. She'd even give birth to his child after what Zhang Baiyan did to her!"

Qin Mu meekly and softly agreed, not daring to oppose her husband.

Qin Yu looked at him coldly.

She doesn't regret her decision. Perhaps in the end, Zhang Baiyan wasn't her destined partner, but she would definitely give birth to this child. She wouldn't return to the Qin family either. She didn't want to be controlled by her father like her mother was.

She also stated, "Dad, please rest assured! Even if I starve to death outside, I won't go back to the Qin family to beg for money or resources. Not one stitch will I take."

Qin's father snorted coldly, "You better have that backbone!"

He took Qin's mother away.

I didn't want to, but I ran into Zhang Baiyan in the entryway.

The atmosphere instantly turned awkward. Although Qin's father had a sharp tongue, Zhang Beran held his trump card, so he didn't dare to tear up his facade in front of his wife. He just snorted coldly and walked away with his wife.

After they left, Zhang Baiyan walked into the hall.

Qin Yu looked at him silently, for a long time, then softly asked, "How did you come back"

Zhang Baiyan gently touched her face.

He whispered, "There are cameras at home, you forgot As soon as I saw your parents coming, I came back!"

He didn't ask anything more, it was obvious.

Zhang Baiyan's voice lowered a bit.

He whispered, "Qin Yu, I'll try my best, not to make you regret your decision today."

Qin Yu gave a light smile.

Actually, no matter what the ending is between her and Zhang Baiyan, she won't regret it. She looked at him and told him to wait a moment... She said she had something to give him.

Qin Yu went upstairs and came down with a bank card.

There is also a jewelry box.

She handed these to Zhang Baiyan and said, "Rebuilding from the ashes also requires money! This is my premarital property, you can use them to start anew."

The total cash is over forty million, plus her jewelry, which could fetch another twenty million or so.

Zhang Baiyan did not want it.

Qin Yu said, "Just consider it my investment. I left 2 million behind, and my child and I have enough to eat and wear."

Zhang Baiyan's eyes were a little hot.

Two million yuan, you couldn't even buy a 40-square-meter small apartment in city B.

Qin Yu gave him all her wealth, but she still said that she and the child would have food and clothing… He still refused. No matter what Zhang Baiyan did, he couldn't spend his wife's premarital property.

He held her close, his lips pressed against her hairline.

Silence speaks volumes.

He thought about the unspoken feelings he had. He wanted to wait until he could provide a good life for his wife and children, only then would he have the confidence to tell her that he would love her forever.

A week later, Baiyou Group collapsed.

Zhang Baiyan lost everything overnight, even their house, which was seized by the court.

Qin Yu began packing her belongings, preparing to move.o go take a look"Zhang Chongguang opened the car door and helped her into the car. Though he did so, his words were laced with bitterness: "Well! Your little boyfriend, I'm not that magnanimous yet,...
