"Beep, beep, beep—"
Listening to the relentless automated busy signal, Du Ruoxin plunged into an endless abyss of darkness.
Rong Jingyang…
I don't believe anyone else, I only believe you.
But—
"Pfft—"
Du Ruoxin spat out a mouthful of blood, her legs went weak, her vision went black, and she fell straight down.
Before her consciousness faded, only one thought remained in her mind.
She had loved the wrong man.
[Killing the heart.]
[Rong Jingyang, you are so cruel!]
Kristino had been following Du Ruoxin. When she left the hospital and walked alone unsteadily down the street, he could no longer sit still.
He got out of his luxury car.
He walked a few meters behind Du Ruoxin, following her closely.
Just as he was considering whether to call out to her, the woman collapsed.
"Xin'er!"
Kristino sprinted forward, but it was too late. Du Ruoxin fell to the ground, hitting the edge of a flower bed, and her forehead immediately split open.
Blood flowed profusely.
"Xin'er!"
"Wake up!"
"Wake up!"
Kristino scooped up the woman and rushed into the hospital. "Doctor! Save her quickly!"
At this moment, he panicked.
—
Early in the morning, Zhan Lan called Grace, saying she had arrived at the entrance of her residential complex.
Grace: "—"
Was she being kidnapped to Sichuan if she didn't go?
Grace felt an unpleasant sense of being forced into something. She politely declined, "I'm sorry, Aunt Zhan, I have some things to handle today and really can't get away."
Zhan Lan said with some disappointment, "Okay."
After hanging up, as Grace was about to leave, she received a call from the project director. "Equipment maintenance today, a day off."
Grace: "..."
Why did she connect Zhan Lan's call with this matter?
She felt that Zhan Lan would call her again in a minute!
o(╯□╰)o
Should she just not answer?
Wouldn't that be impolite?
Grace was struggling with her thoughts when the phone rang again: "Beep, beep, beep—"
She flinched, about to ignore it, but then realized it was her friend Caroline calling.
Grace immediately slid to the green button.
"Darling, how are things with Qin Yunxi? Did he get scared away by you?" Caroline's tired voice came from the other end of the signal.
Upon hearing the name "Qin Yunxi," Grace immediately wilted.
"Alas—"
She sighed deeply, collapsed onto the sofa, and stared blankly at the ceiling.
Caroline chuckled, "What? Is the plot a bit complicated?"
Grace's mouth twitched—complicated? It was downright terrifying!
She said, on the verge of tears, "I... I got the marriage certificate with Qin Yunxi."
Caroline's smile froze instantly. "What?"
Got the certificate?
What certificate?
Had she misheard?
"Yesterday I listened to you and thought you made a lot of sense... blah blah blah..." Grace recounted how she fell into Qin Yunxi's trap and how she dramatically went from single to married.
Caroline's jaw dropped in surprise, and she was speechless for a long time.
"He—"
"Is he serious?"
Did Qin Yunxi really want to marry Grace? Did he really want Grace to bear heirs for the Qin family?
Caroline's mood was somewhat complex.
A man like Qin Yunxi... how could he... get married and have children?
"Did he ask you to sign a prenuptial agreement?"
"Did he..."
Caroline instinctively didn't believe it, but before she could finish, Grace interrupted, "No, he didn't ask me to sign anything, except the marriage agreement."
Caroline: "!!!"
There's a trick!
A woman's intuition told her that Grace was in big trouble!
Coupled with Qin Yunxi's identity as an arms dealer...
Others didn't know how terrifying Qin Yunxi could be when he was ruthless, but she had seen it with her own eyes!
No!
She would never allow her good friend to be in danger!
Caroline shivered, jumped up, "Sister, I think you're in danger!"
"No, I'll help you test him!"
