Gu Nianbin slept for a long time and had two dreams in a row.

In the first dream, he was running in the jungle as a wild beast was chasing behind him. He did not dare to see what it was. He only heard the branches and leaves behind him rustling. It must be a huge beast. He ran with all his might. The wind cut his face like a knife, making him painful. The branches cut open his arm, and blood flowed out. He was in a helpless state, but he did not dare to stop.

Finally, he could no longer hear the sound behind him. Then he turned around and saw that there was no wild beast behind him. He stopped and panted as he continued to walk forward. The weeds ahead were taller than him. The green grass was pleasing to the eyes. He walked over and pushed the grass aside. However, he did not expect that the wild beast would just stay there. It opened its bloody mouth and swallowed him.

He woke up in fright and wiped the sweat off his forehead. He looked at the snow-white ceiling blankly. After a moment, he fell asleep again.

This time, he dreamed of the Gu Group going bankrupt. He was forced by his creditors to jump off the building. Under the gloomy sky, he stood on the roof of the 30-story building. The dark clouds were moving quickly as if it was going to rain. His white shirt was blown up by the wind and his hair was flying.

On the ground was a crowd of people. All of them came here to see how he would atone for his sins with his death.

He stood in silence for a long time. After a long while, when the people below saw that he was not going to jump, they immediately started to make a fuss and shouted, “Jump! Jump immediately!”

“What? You don’t dare to jump?” This voice was behind him.

It was Jiang Kaiwei. The person standing next to him was Du Xiaoxian. Her eyes were still as clear as before, like a stream between mountains. But her smile… was filled with sarcasm.

His face turned pale immediately and his fingers trembled as he pointed at her. “You… you actually…”

“That’s right.” Jiang Kaiwei laughed. “Without her, I wouldn’t have defeated you so quickly. I didn’t expect her to be so useful.”

He ignored Jiang Kaiwei and stared at Du Xiaoxian. He asked in pain, “Have you ever loved me?”

Du Xiaoxian looked at him indifferently. “I don’t love anyone. I only love money!”

So that was how it was. Everyone said that he was so obsessed with a woman that he even abandoned his work for her. That was why he ended up like this.

It was his fault. He made a grave mistake!

Completely disheartened, he no longer had anything to worry about in his life. He didn’t look at her anymore. He turned around, leaped, and quickly fell from the building…

He woke up and sweated again. He wiped his forehead carelessly and sat up from the bed. The curtains were half-open. As the sunlight shone in, the room was bright.

In the golden sunlight, there were countless grains of dust floating around. After looking at them for a long time, he found each grain seemed to have a long and slender tail and was constantly changing its trajectory.

He put on his shoes and slowly walked into the sunlight. Beneath his feet was the world of mortals. Looking down from such a high place, the pedestrians were like ants, the cars were like matchboxes, the road was like a long ribbon. Everything was so small. He looked indifferently at this real and cruel world.

He just thought that it wasn’t true, right? Everything was just his imagination, right?

His world collapsed all of a sudden. These were all fake, right?

He habitually reached out to touch the cigarette box but found nothing. He walked toward the door. When he opened it, he saw that everything in his office was the same as before. Everything was placed in the original place. The ground was clean. Even the crystal ashtray on the table was spotless.

Sure enough, it was just his imagination. It turned out it was just a dream. He turned happy and walked out briskly.

From the corner of his eyes, he saw the small sheet of paper on the coffee table. He stopped and stared at it for a long time. Finally, he walked over and slowly picked it up.

There was a big word in the blue seal: Positive.

Everything that happened a moment ago crowded into his mind. He remembered every scene clearly. He recalled Du Xiaoxian’s indifferent face, her calm tone, and that he abandoned his dignity and begged her to stay. He only got one sentence from her: “I did it of my own accord!”

What a joke, she did it of her own accord! She surely did it in this way. Although she was so thin and weak, no one could force her to do what she did not want to do. When she got stubborn, even he could not do it.

He crumpled the sheet of paper into a ball and held it in his palm as if holding an iron that burned his hand.

He stood there as if he was thinking. He frowned, and his gaze was deep. After an unknown period, he finally opened his palm and unfolded the ball of paper. He spread it on the coffee table. He carefully smoothed every wrinkle of the paper as if it was a fine work of art.

Then he carefully folded it and put it in his pocket. He picked up his coat and put it on, quickly walking out the door. When Zhou Ting heard the sound of the door, she quickly stood up and said, “Boss, I bought lunch for you. Now…”

He waved his hand. “I don’t want to eat it. Tell Little Ding to wait for me downstairs.”

Zhou Ting opened her mouth and finally said one word, “Okay”.

When she saw Gu Nianbin leave in a hurry, she ran inside and took a look. Everything was placed in place, except for the test report. It was not on the coffee table. It was obvious that he had taken it away.

Gu Nianbin went to the hospital mentioned in the test report. This was a big public hospital.

He went to the department of gynecologists directly, found the consulting desk, and asked a nurse, “Is this report issued by your department?”

The nurse took it and looked at it carefully. Then she said, “Yes. The test was done the day before yesterday,” She seemed to remember it. “I have some impression of her. She’s a pretty little girl. Is there a problem?” she asked.

“Did she come alone?”

“No, she came with her boyfriend, who was tall, thin, and energetic.”

Gu Nianbin asked again, “Has she been pregnant for a month?”

The nurse pointed at the “4W” on the test report and said, “It’s written on the report. How can it be wrong?”

Without a word, Gu Nianbin turned around and left, leaving the nurse confused. In fact, she was willing to say a few more words because Gu Nianbin was a handsome man. Otherwise, she would not bother to talk more. However, the handsome man did not even say a word of appreciation after asking the question. For the sake of his good looks, she didn’t fuss about him being rude.

Another nurse happened to come over, and she asked, “Hey, Zhenzhen, a little girl came to do an early pregnancy check two days ago. Do you remember? The one you praised for her beautiful eyes. She also has a thin and tall boyfriend…”

Zhenzhen said, “I remember. What’s wrong?”

“How many weeks of pregnancy did her report say?”

Zhenzhen frowned and thought carefully, “It’s been ten weeks! I was the one who found the report for her.”

“Four weeks or ten weeks?”

“Ten weeks. I remember it very clearly. What’s wrong? Jiajia.”

Jiajia stood on her tiptoes and looked at the other end of the corridor. Gu Nianbin had already gone. She shook her head. “Forget it. Originally, I wanted to let you see a handsome guy.”

“A handsome guy?”

“A moment ago, a handsome guy came over with Du Xiaoxian’s test report and asked if it was made here and if she had been pregnant for four weeks. I didn’t pay attention to it and said yes.”

“Oops,” Zhenzhen was a little anxious. “Is there something wrong? Should we call the police?”

Jiajia laughed. “Don’t be stupid. As long as the pregnant woman knew it, it would be fine. Who knows what their relationship is? Why do you care so much?”

The nurse called Zhenzhen nodded. “That’s true.”

When Gu Nianbin returned to the car, his expression became even more awful. Little Ding did not even dare to look back. He just looked at him in the rear-view mirror and asked, “Young Master, where are we going now?”

“The company.” Gu Nianbin said two words and fell back in his chair, closing his eyes.

The last ray of hope was also shattered. He asked himself in his heart, “what to do? What to do? What should I do?”

When he was on the way here, he was mentally prepared. Du Xiaoxian would never tell lies. Moreover, she was timid. She did not dare to lie to him about such a serious thing. The fact that she dared to see him and left the test report was revealing.

It was him who refused to give up until all hope was gone. He insisted on seeking confirmation. Now, as the cruel reality was in front of him, he had no choice but to believe it.

In any case, there was no hope. Everything was in vain. It was just that he had wishful thinking. In Du Xiaoxian’s heart, he was just a person who was good to her. Because he treated her better than others, she liked him and was willing to stay by his side. He gave her a good life but also brought her all kinds of trouble caused by Xia Manyin, Xia Xiaowan, his family, and profane eyes…

So, she was bored and turned to throw herself into another man’s arms. It turned out that she had no heart. As long as someone was good to her, no matter who it was, she could go with that person.

But he was stupid enough to love her with his entire life. He had loved her with all his painstaking care but ended up like this! He was really the most pathetic, ridiculous, and stupid person in this world!

He suddenly laughed. The more he laughed, the louder he became. Even he found it funny. It was really funny…

When Little Ding heard this strange laughter in the front, he was so scared that he almost stopped the car. He repeatedly looked at Gu Nianbin from the rear-view mirror. His heart was in a panic, but he did not dare to ask. When the young master came out of the hospital, he appeared to want to kill someone, but now… it seemed like he was going to eat someone!

Could it be that the company was about to collapse?

He silently sped up the car, hoping to send the young master back to the company as soon as possible. If there was something bad on the way… He could not afford to take responsibility. But if they were in the company, he could count on President Shao and Secretary Zhou!

When they were about to reach the company, Gu Nianbin suddenly said, “Bring me to the riverside.”

Little Ding said, “The company is up ahead.”

Gu Nianbin did not speak anymore. So Little Ding obediently turned the car around and headed towards the riverside. However, he was secretly complaining in his heart. Going to the riverside meant that Gu Nianbin was in an extremely bad mood. He really didn’t want to be cannon fodder!

It was already three o’clock in the afternoon and the sun was shining brightly. Gu Nianbin opened the car door and walked out. He turned around after a few steps. “Give me the cigarettes.”

There were usually cigarettes in the car. Little Ding took a box of cigarettes and gave it to him along with a lighter.

Gu Nianbin walked down the stairs of the embankment and stopped halfway. Then he sat down and lit a cigarette.

Little Ding was afraid that something might happen to him, so he quietly came out of the car and went to the river bank to take a look at him. Under the scorching sun, Gu Nianbin’s figure appeared particularly lonely. Little Ding could not see his face. He only saw light blue smoke curling up and enveloping Gu Nianbin. How fierce was the smoking to create so much smoke? Little Ding thought that Gu Nianbin would get pneumonia in this manner, right?

However, he just stood there and watched Gu Nianbin silently. He did not dare to make any noise. The uneasiness in his heart was magnified. He had never seen the young master like this. What on earth had happened to the young master?
