After a chaotic scramble, Xiao Yu took Shi Yunyun to the hospital.
The next morning, Shi Yunyun woke up to find herself in a hospital room.
She got out of bed and prepared to look for Xiao Yu, but then she saw him standing at the stairwell with his back turned, talking on the phone.
As she approached, she overheard Xiao Yu instructing his secretary to bring breakfast over on the phone, and also told his secretary to schedule an abortion after she ate.
This cold, ruthless side of Xiao Yu was one Shi Yunyun had never seen before.
He was calmly arranging everything, as if the baby in her belly was not a child, but an object that could be discarded at any time.
Shi Yunyun was terrified.
'Baby, since Daddy doesn't want you, Mommy will take you away, okay?"
Shi Yunyun gently stroked her belly, then quietly slipped past Xiao Yu, tiptoed downstairs, and left the hospital.
When Mingting learned about this from the system, he laughed, "So the Hero didn't love the Heroine unswervingly? Instead, the plot's gone off track and turned into a 'CEO's runaway wife with a secret baby' trope?"
[Don't be happy, Shi Yunyun is coming to see you. She's already entered the neighborhood and will be at your building in five minutes.]
The system gloated.
"What?"
Mingting sat up abruptly.
He had driven back to his high-rise apartment in the city center last night, as it was more convenient for daily life, and living alone gave him more freedom.
When Mingting heard the system's words at this time, he finally remembered that this building had private elevator access, and the original owner had given Shi Yunyun a spare keycard for the elevator.
[Are you going to run, or stay and comfort the Heroine? What will you do if she wants to live here for a long time?]
The system snickered, obviously wanting to see Mingting make a fool of himself.
"What a joke! This is my home… Why should I hide?"
Mingting then called the concierge on the first floor and instructed them to deactivate the spare elevator card, telling them that only the main card would be valid from now on.
The concierge handled it immediately.
When Shi Yunyun entered the elevator and swiped her card, the mechanical sound prompted that the spare keycard was invalid several times in a row.
He Xu, the concierge for Building C, saw this scene and walked over, "Hello, ma'am, may I ask who you're here to see?"
"I'm looking for Gu Mingting on the 17th floor. I'm his friend. This is the elevator card he gave me."
Shi Yunyun shook the card in her hand, "I don't know why it's not working."
He Xu had just received the call from Mingting and was well aware of the 17th-floor resident's instructions.
Although He Xu didn't understand why Mingting would bar a friend, he didn't show any abnormality on his face, and still maintained a professional smile, "It's like this, Mr. Gu has reported the spare card as deactivated. If you're here to visit him, would you like to call him first?"
"What?!"
Shi Yunyun hadn't expected Mingting to do this.
'When Mingting had given me the card, he said that his home was my home and I was welcome to come anytime.'
'Why had he revoked my access now, just when I needed him most?'
Shi Yunyun quickly dialed his number, but no one answered after dialing several times.
"I really am a close friend of Gu Mingting's, otherwise, he wouldn't have given me this card. I have something urgent to do with him, can't you just let me up?"
Shi Yunyun was anxious.
"I'm sorry, ma'am, but that's against the regulations. How about you find a place to wait for a while? Maybe Mr. Gu will call you back when he's free?"
The polite smile on He Xu's face remained unchanged.
But no matter how much Shi Yunyun pleaded, he smiled and firmly refused.
In the end, Shi Yunyun was worried that Xiao Yu would come, so she had no choice but to leave temporarily.
Only after she had been gone for a while did Mingting finally leave his apartment, carrying a thermos of sweet soup he'd prepared.
Mingting wanted nothing to do with the Male and Female Leads' messy drama. Right now, he was taking the subway to deliver some 'love' to Shen Tinglan.
When passing by a flower shop, Mingting also bought a bouquet of bright orange spray roses.
Since it was already at around nine o'clock in the morning, the subway was not so crowded. Mingting carefully protected the roses in his arms and lowered his head to smell their fragrance.
This moment was captured by Wu Ye with her mobile phone.
Wu Ye is a college junior who loved filming interesting snippets and post them on the Internet. She also has more than 100,000 fans on a certain platform.
The second Mingting stepped into the train car, Wu Ye noticed him.
As a 'face connoisseur', Wu Ye was instantly drawn to Ming Ting's elegant and refined face.
Looking at his height of over 1.8 meters, his model-like proportions, and his impeccable fashion sense... If not for the public setting, she would've squealed like a fangirl.
'Ahhh! Sisters, a super handsome guy had just boarded at Cheng Gu Station on Line 2!'
Wu Ye sent the photos she secretly took to her group chat, and replies immediately flooded in.
When they saw the photo of Mingting bending down to smell the flowers, the people in the group immediately turned into a group of groundhogs.
"Sisters! Get a front shot! Let me see the handsome guy!"
"Don't be afraid, Ye Zi, go up and ask for that little brother's WeChat…"
As a bold and thick-skinned girl, Wu Ye discreetly angled her camera toward Mingting.
With his sharp senses, Mingting noticed Wu Ye filming him.
However, he did not detect any malice from the other party, so he just ignored it.
After arriving at the destination, Mingting exited the subway, holding the flowers in one hand and a lunch bag in the other, heading straight to Zhengheng Group's headquarters.
"Hello, I'm Gu Mingting. I'm here to see Shen Tinglan."
The receptionist knew that their Boss Lady had just got engaged, and was very familiar with Mingting's face, so she quickly called upstairs.
As Mingting stepped into the elevator, the receptionist immediately sent a message in the company's WeChat group, "Breaking news, the fiancé is here!"
