"Squeak—"

A screeching sound rang out, and as the cellar door opened, sunlight rushed in, illuminating the dark, damp and cramped basement.

Gu Chen curled up in the corner covered in injuries and closed his eyes uncomfortably.

He couldn't remember how many days he hadn't seen the sun, and the darkness in the basement was never-ending.

Therefore, his first reaction at the moment was not joy, but fear.

It wasn't until three minutes later that he slowly adjusted to the light and saw clearly the person standing in front of him.

The person who came was dressed in a white suit and had a tall figure, broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and slender legs.

His chestnut hair was slightly curly, and a pair of beautiful eyes like sapphires were staring at Gu Chen, with a sarcastic smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Gu Chen, this is your second mission failure."

Gu Chen lowered his head unwillingly, "Yes, I am willing to accept punishment." ”

"Punishment?"

The man used expensive leather shoes to provoke Gu Chen's blood-stained face and sneered.

"You've already been punished, what's the use of beating more, it's not a waste."

Gu Chen's pupils constricted, and his hands clenched into fists.

"Sir, I know it's wrong, I shouldn't be underestimated! It's all my fault, it's not about my companions, please sir let them go! ”

The man turned, and his men brought him a chair.

With slender legs stacked on top of each other, one hand lazily supporting his head, the whole person is careless, but everywhere reveals noble elegance.

"You all fail the mission, and of course everyone will be punished, except for the one who died."

Just accept the punishment...... Gu Chen breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"Thank you, sir, we deserve punishment."

The man hooked his lips, as if he had thought of something, and his sapphire eyes sparkled.

"Tell me about her. I haven't seen her for so many years, but she is more powerful than I imagined, and she can't even deal with you? ”

Gu Chen's expression moved slightly, and he understood that the man was talking about Ming Yin.

Recalling her tough and sharp eyes, her cat-like posture and excellent posture, Gu Chen's eyes were shrouded in a layer of haze.

"She's really good......"

……

The news that Chi Xiao went to Taihexuan several times and stayed here for a long time finally reached Zhou Yun's ears.

Whether it was to exchange the ancient books for the phoenix, or to see Mingyin, Zhou Yun knew better than anyone else.

When she heard the report, she drank her coffee calmly, but her mouth was filled with a strong smell of blood.

"Is that really the case?"

The visitor affirmed: "It's true. ”

Zhou Yun's head was stunned, and his heart was like numbness.

"I know, you've worked hard these past few days, you don't need to help me keep an eye on it for the time being, just rest well."

"Yes."

Zhou Yun put down the coffee cup and clasped his hands together uneasily.

She didn't dare to question Chi Xiao, and she didn't even dare to mention it to him inadvertently, if Chi Xiao knew that he was secretly investigating him, I am afraid that the Zhou family would not be far from destruction.

Zhou Yun believed that Chi Xiao went back and forth to Taihexuan to deliver ancient books at the beginning, but since they stayed on the cliff for one night......

Some of the feelings between them seem to have quietly changed.

This made Zhou Yun restless, and even rushed to the doctor in a hurry, wanting to go to Chi Xiao's ex-wife to discuss countermeasures.

She did this yesterday, but she didn't expect that the other party had already gone to the empty building, and no one knew where she had moved, as if the world had evaporated.

She has been in love with Chi Xiao since she was young, even if he is married, she is still waiting, Zhou Yun is really unwilling to give it up.

Looking down at the flat lower abdomen, Zhou Yun was in a complicated mood.

The excuse of pregnancy won't last long, unless ...... She figured out how to really make a child.

You may be sorry for Chi Xiao by doing this, but you will never be sorry for yourself!

After thinking about it clearly, Zhou Yun picked up his mobile phone and dialed Mingyin's contact information.

"Miss Ming, it's me."

Hearing that it was Zhou Yun's voice, Mingyin said in a light tone: "Miss Zhou, is there something wrong?" ”

"I want to talk to you, right now."

Ming Yin glanced at the finishing work, and did not refuse: "Okay, send me the address." ”

Half an hour later, Ming Yin came to the café.

Zhou Wan pushed the menu to her, "Miss Ming, do you want something to drink?" ”

"No need, just white water." She returned the menu to the waitress and went straight to the point with Zhou Yun.

"Mingren doesn't say dark words, what is Miss Zhou calling me for?"

Zhou Yun smiled gently, his delicately maintained fingers gently stroked the coffee cup, and said casually: "I heard that Ah Xiao always goes to Taihexuan recently?" ”

"That's right, he goes a lot." Ming Yin nodded, generous, without the slightest concealment.

Zhou Yun's heart sank, and he no longer continued to beat around the bush.

"Miss Ming, I am pregnant with Ah Xiao's child, and he is destined to be with me."

Ming Yin was stunned, it turned out that Zhou Yun had come to declare sovereignty.

She couldn't help but be funny, if Zhou Yun knew that she was Chi Xiao's legitimate wife, would she be so ashamed?

She doesn't love Chi Xiao, so naturally she doesn't care about his private life, but Ming Yin will never allow anyone to run to her head to spread wild.

"I know, but what does this have to do with me?"

Zhou Yun chuckled and explained: "Miss Ming likes ancient things, then you should know that there are differences between men and women since ancient times, maybe the two of you are indeed innocent, but sometimes if you get too close, others may not think so." ”

"Ah Xiao is the best man in the world, no one will not be impressed by him, so if Miss Ming likes Ah Xiao, I can understand, but he can only be with me."

Zhou Yun's attitude is inevitable, as if he will have a wedding with Chi Xiao tomorrow.

Ming Yin looked at her as if she was immersed in a sweet dream, and she only felt pitiful.

"Mr. Chi may indeed be very good, but what Miss Zhou said is too exaggerated, there are billions of people in the world, and it is impossible for everyone to like him, including me, of course."

Mingyin's back was straight, and her face did not change color.

Zhou Wan raised his eyebrows, seemingly not quite convinced, "Really? ”

"Do I need to lie to you?" Ming Yin was so angry that she wanted to laugh.

"That's good." Zhou Yun breathed a sigh of relief, but did not forget to advise, "I am surprised and very happy that Miss Ming doesn't like Ah Xiao." Either way, I hope you keep your distance so that you don't gossip or have feelings that you shouldn't have. ”

The words have been said so clearly, but I didn't expect Zhou Yun to still not plan to let go of herself, and Ming Yin was also a little displeased.

Not married yet, just because of an unformed embryo in the belly, you want to hold her hostage?

It's ridiculous.

If it is about dependence, the real marriage between her and Chi Xiao is the most powerful reliance!

"Miss Zhou's words are a bit excessive, no one wants to compete with you for a man, I only pin my hopes on myself, and others are unreliable."

Ming Yin got up and looked at Zhou Yun's stomach with calm eyes.

"What's more, this kid can really tie up Mr. Chi?"
