It hurt Song Yunxuan badly to say every word.

Chu Mochen looked at her tearful eyes.

Facing her sight, he slightly lowered his eyes.

Finally, he uttered, “Yunxuan, give me your word.”

“No! Don’t do that. I won’t promise anything.”

Song Yunxuan raised her hands to cover her ears and did not want to hear any words from Chu Mochen.

She knew it was her dream.

She knew that Chu Mochen was going to say useless words of comfort to her.

She knew that he would tell her to move on.

However, she didn’t want to hear any of it.

“Yunxuan.”

Chu Mochen pulled her hand over her ears gently. He leaned over and looked at her eyes, “No matter what happened, I believe you can get through it.”

“No, I can’t…” Song Yunxuan lowered her eyes feebly, “I used to get through everything all by myself before I met you. Then you showed up in my life. You had always backed me up. Now when I’m going to rely on you, you’re gone.”

It didn’t make any sense. She did not understand why it became like this.

For starters, she didn’t think about relying on Chu Mochen at all, but he had always got himself involved. He took part in every stage of her plan.

Gradually, she got used to this kind of life in which Chu Mochen would give a hand at any time.

It was ridiculous that when she finally got used to it, Chu Mochen was suddenly gone.

He left her life all of a sudden.

She didn’t prepare for it at all.

She wanted to cry. Tears kept rolling down from her eyes.

Chu Mochen seemed to be leaving.

She saw him standing up and walking towards the door.

Desperately, she rushed to grab his fingers, looking at him, “Don’t go!”

Chu Mochen frowned and looked at her with worried eyes.

Song Yunxuan clutched his fingers tightly and repeated, “Don’t go!”

“Yunxuan.”

Chu Mochen gently touched her face. His movement was so gentle that it was like a wind blowing on her cheeks.

The wind put Song Yunxuan in a trance.

She blinked her eyes gently.

However, the moment she blinked, Chu Mochen suddenly disappeared.

Her hand was empty.

She was certain that she had just clasped Chu Mochen.

But now, she lowered her head. There was nothing on her hand.

There was nothing. She couldn’t clasp anything.

She looked around her bedroom in a panic.

The room was so quiet as if Chu Mochen had never been here. She couldn’t accept it.

“Chu Mochen?”

“Chu Mochen!” She shouted his name loudly.

No one responded to her.

She heard nothing but the echoes of her own voice as if she had been in a quiet valley.

She rushed out of bed with bare feet, shouting his name, “Chu Mochen, come back! Chu Mochen!”

“He’s dead.”

As if someone had been alerted by her shouting, a man responded to her, smiling.

Hearing this man, Song Yunxuan frowned and looked towards the source of the voice.

Suddenly, she saw Shao Tianze behind her.

Shao Tianze wore an ironic smile on his face, “He’s dead. No one will help you.”

“No, he is alive.”

“Not just him. You’re also dead, Gu Changge.” His voice was so eerie that it made Song Yunxuan hard to breathe.

Song Yunxuan’s heart constricted, “No, Gu Changge is also alive.”

“Is she?” Shao Tianze laughed and walked towards her step by step. His black suit suddenly turned into a white coat. He wore a pair of thin-frame glasses, looking exactly like when he was in the hospital.

Looking at him approaching step by step, Song Yunxuan subconsciously wanted to step back.

However, when she thought she had been killed by Shao Tianze once, she forced herself to stand still.

Shao Tianze walked to her. She gazed at him stubbornly. He sneered, “I hate you for being like this the most. I didn’t kill you last time. Today, I’ll kill you again!”

As he spoke, he raised his hand like a flash of lightning and stabbed into her chest with a sharp scalpel.

“Ah!”

Song Yunxuan gasped and suddenly sat up from the bed.

The maid who heard the noise outside knocked on the door and asked nervously, “Miss Song, are you all right?”

Song Yunxuan sat on the bed. She looked at the dim outline of furniture and calmed her breathing. Then she said in a hoarse voice, “I’m fine.”

The maid was still worried, “Miss Song, call me anytime if you need me. I’ll wait outside.”

Song Yunxuan asked, puzzled, “Aren’t you sleeping?”

The maid answered, “Mr. Mei told me to be here for you.”

“So that is.”

Song Yunxuan took a sign and held onto her forehead with one hand. She was exhausted, having a lot on her mind.

The maid became quiet since Song Yunxuan had no further inquiries.

Song Yunxuan’s heart bounded wildly because of the dream she just had.

She wanted to see Chu Mochen again.

But Shao Tianze was also in her dream.

He was about to kill her once more.

She switched on the lamp on the nightstand, then leaned against the headboard, and stared at the dim ceiling.

She looked tired and gloomy.

Was Shao Tianze aware of her true identity?

It must be beyond his wildest dream that she was Gu Changge.

The Shao Family must be thrilled that Chu Mochen was missing. They deemed that Song Yunxuan was incapable of anything without his help.

What a joke!

As long as Gu Changge was alive, there was nothing she could not achieve in Yuncheng.

Even if Chu Mochen was dead and she was alone, she could take the Shao enterprise over by herself.

She frowned and closed her eyes, trying to gather her thoughts.

But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t clear her head.

In contrast, she became more and more tired.

She frowned and stared at the ceiling dully until dawn.

When she woke up in the morning, a maid gently knocked on the door and asked, “Miss Song, what would you like to have for breakfast?”

“Let Miss Zang decide.”

The maid went to ask Zang Linger.

She didn’t come back for her opinion.

For Song Yunxuan, it didn’t matter what the breakfast was.

Because she had no appetite and couldn’t eat much.

Song Yunxuan took a shower. In the bathroom, she saw Chu Mochen’s skincare products. She pursed her lips and covered them with a white towel.

As if she wouldn’t want to see them ever after.

After a bath, she got dressed. A maid’s voice came from outside, “Miss Song, the breakfast is ready. Would you like to go downstairs for breakfast?”

Song Yunxuan opened the door.

The maid saw Song Yunxuan appearing at the door. She looked relieved and said, “Miss Song, you may want to hurry up. The breakfast is ready. Miss Zang is waiting for you in the dining room.”

Song Yunxuan nodded.

Then she walked outside of her bedroom.

When she was about to pass the maid, she ordered, “Pack up everything that belonged to Chu Mochen in the bathroom. I don’t want to see them again.”

The maid was stunned for a while, and then she replied, “I’ll be on my way to pack them up.”

After that, Song Yunxuan went downstairs.

She saw Zang Linger standing at the top of the stairs.

Zang Linger looked at her and heard what she ordered just now.

“Are you gonna pack Chu Mochen’s stuff in such a hurry?”

Song Yunxuan ignored her. She walked past her and was going to have breakfast in the dining room.

Being ignored, Zang Linger felt somewhat bored as well as sorry for her.

“He would be sad if he knew it.”

Song Yunxuan paused for a second. She answered, “Why would he be sad? He’s gone. How could a dead man feel sad?”

Zang Linger didn’t know how to argue with it.

She could only watch Song Yunxuan going downstairs and followed her to the dining room.

Song Yunxuan had a point. It was impossible for a dead man to be sad.

Song Yunxuan sat down in the dining room. So did Zang Linger.

When Song Yunxuan was having breakfast, Zang Linger uttered, “I heard you scream last night.”

Song Yunxuan lifted her eyes and glanced at her without saying anything.

Seeing Song Yunxuan didn’t reply, Zang Linger asked her again, “Did you have nightmares?”

Song Yunxuan lowered her eyes, “I dreamed of Chu Mochen.”

“Did he say anything to you?”

Zang Linger looked at her.

Song Yunxuan said, “He told me to get through everything by myself.”

Although it was just a dream, she kept everything Chu Mochen told her in her mind.

“Then it’s not a nightmare if you dreamed of him?”

It was a sensitive question.

Song Yunxuan raised her eyes and looked at Zang Linger’s face, “When will you go back to Harbor City?”

Song Yunxuan was giving an obvious sign that Zang Linger was not welcomed to stay here longer.

But Linger answered with a straight face, “I’m going to stay here for a few more months.”

“Your family doesn’t have a big influence in Yuncheng. You shouldn’t stay here for too long. It’s better to go back to Harbor City sooner.”

“That sounds reasonable, but I don’t want to go back.” After saying that, Zang Linger looked at her, “Besides, don’t you need my help at this time?”
