Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Chen Shaocong learned everything about Song Yunsheng from Song Yunshu, and he solemnly promised her that he would take responsibility for the matter and investigate it thoroughly.

He would never let Song Yunsheng die in vain.

Song Yunshu was filled with gratitude, but at the same time, she knew that the investigation would be fraught with difficulties.

If it were not for the doctor’s intentional reminder, they might not have known about this matter even if Yun Sheng was buried.

Moreover, they had immediately gone to investigate this matter, but in the end, the information from back then had been destroyed.

One could imagine how powerful the layers of obstacles were.

Aunt Xiang sat at the side and took a tissue to wipe her tears silently.

After hearing Chen Shaocong’s assurance, it was only at this moment that she truly felt that her persistence finally had hope.

“Shaocong, thank you for being willing to help us. Ever since Yunsheng’s incident, Song Song and I have been thinking about it every day. Every night when I close my eyes, I dream of Yunsheng’s last appearance. The child died so unjustly.”

“Aunt Xiang, don’t worry. Since I promised to help you, I will definitely do it. You too, Yunshu. Don’t be sad.”

Chen Shaocong’s smile was warm, and the heartache in his eyes unconsciously fell on Song Yunshu.

She also saw the emotions in his eyes, but she did not say anything else. Instead, she thanked him gratefully. “Senior, I really have to thank you. Otherwise, Aunt Xiang and I really don’t know who else to turn to.”

Just as Song Yunshu finished speaking, the waiter happened to serve the dishes.

Steamed sea bass, pork ribs, stir-fried vegetables.

They were all very home-cooked dishes that looked delicious.

“Let’s talk while eating.” Chen Shaocong picked up the chopsticks on the table and put some fish in Song Yunshu’s bowl.

“It’s been a while since we last met. You seem to have lost a lot of weight. Even if you’re worried about your brother, you can’t neglect yourself.”

Before Song Yunshu could respond, she smelled a pungent fishy smell.

She looked at the fish meat in her bowl and immediately frowned with a troubled expression.

Nausea churned in her stomach and surged up in waves.

It made her unable to concentrate on listening to Chen Shaocong’s words at all.

The next second, she apologized hurriedly, covered her mouth, got up, and ran towards the restroom.

Aunt Xiang and Chen Shaocong looked at each other at the dining table.

“This…”

“Aunt Xiang, Yunshu doesn’t look well. Should I go and check on her?”

After saying that, Chen Shaocong hurriedly put down his utensils in his hand, got up, and rushed toward the restroom.

Song Yunshu, who had run into the bathroom, had no idea what was happening outside. She squatted there and vomited out stomach acid.

Patting his chest, she stood up again and went to the sink.

She took a handful of water and rinsed her mouth.

Song Yunshu looked up at her slightly pale self in the mirror.

She pursed her lips tightly, with a worried expression

Her gaze subconsciously fell on her flat stomach.

A wave of anxiety washed over her.

Her pregnancy regurgitation had been a little serious in the past two days, especially at the wedding banquet last night. She had struggled to hold it in and not expose herself at the wedding.

However, she really couldn’t stand the smell of fish meat. Even a whiff of it would make her feel nauseous. So she couldn’t hold it in just now.

Moreover, she would definitely have to spend a lot of time with Huo Cen in the future.

If she did not deal with this pregnancy as soon as possible, she was afraid that she would be exposed sooner or later.

After making up her mind, Song Yunshu tidied herself up and pushed the door open.

However, before she could leave the restroom, she saw Chen Shaocong standing outside with a serious frown.

“Senior, what’s wrong?”

“Are you alright? I saw that your condition was quite serious, so I went to the pharmacy next door to buy a box of stomach medicine. You’ll feel better if you put it in your mouth.”

Song Yunshu took the medicine box from him and thanked him.

However, she did not take the medicine.

She knew that she was suffering from pregnancy regurgitation, she held the medicine box but dare not to eat.

Although she had already made up her mind not to have this child, she was not really crazy.

Moreover, medicine is toxic to some extent. She did not have the habit of taking medicine indiscriminately.

Chen Shaocong didn’t ask any further when he saw this.

Just as Song Yunshu was about to return to her seat with Chen Shaocong, her phone rang unexpectedly in her pocket.

She took out her phone and saw a string of unknown numbers on the screen.

Before she answered the phone, she subconsciously glanced at Chen Shaocong in front of her.

Chen Shaocong immediately understood and nodded at her gently before returning to his seat.

Song Yunshu picked up the phone and walked to the side.

“Hello,”

“Where are you?”

Huo Cen’s cold voice sounded on the other end of the phone.

She was stunned for two seconds before she came back to her senses and replied, “I’m eating with my aunt outside.”

“Okay, we’ll go to the old mansion tonight.”

“What?”

Song Yunshu blurted out.

After saying this, she covered her mouth in regret.

Earlier in the morning, she had thought that he was just saying it casually, and she had just heaved a sigh of relief. Who would have thought that in the end, she would still have to go back with him.

She felt a headache when she thought about the elders of the Huo family.

“You don’t want to go?” Huo Cen’s voice came from the other end of the phone again, interrupting her scattered thoughts.

“No, it’s just that you said it too suddenly. I wasn’t prepared for it at the moment.”

“Hmm, there’s no need to prepare. Just follow me.”

Huo Cen didn’t say much, but Song Yunshu could hear the comfort in his voice.

Song Yunshu nodded.

But the next second, she realized that he couldn’t see her, so she immediately added, “Okay.”

When she returned to her seat, the steamed fish on the table had been removed and replaced with a new dish of steamed meat with vermicelli.

Although the taste wasn’t as stimulating as before, Song Yunshu still didn’t have much appetite.

She took a few sips of water and put down the cup.

On their way back, Chen Shaocong offered to send them home, but before Song Yunshu could reject him, she was interrupted by the chauffeur, Xiao Liu, who had been waiting outside.

“Madam, are you going back?”

Xiao Liu’s appearance made Song Yunshu’s body stiffen for a moment.

Although she knew that she could not keep her marriage with Huo Cen a secret from Aunt Xiang, it should not be under such circumstances.

Xiao Liu looked at her with a smile, and then his gaze shifted to Chen Shaocong.

Xiao Liu’s gaze seemed to be warning him, but his words were still polite.

“There’s no need to trouble this gentleman. Our car is here.”

Chen Shaocong didn’t look at him. Instead, his gaze fell on Song Yunshu and his eyes darkened.

“Yunshu, when did you…get married?”
