How many secrets are still hidden in Chapter 15?
How many secrets are still hidden in Chapter 15?
Xie Shiyun jolted awake from his dream, his forehead beaded with cold sweat, his body trembling slightly. He sat on the edge of the bed, his eyes glazed and confused, as if still immersed in the terrifying dream he had just experienced. After a long while, he finally came to his senses and muttered to himself, "No, I have to figure out what happened..."
She seemed to belong to another world, yet that woman had the same face as her. Her memories were fragmented, and now she felt as if her memories were being arbitrarily altered, with many images of her and Fu Shiyue together flooding her mind.
Those scenes, like a movie, played repeatedly before her eyes from childhood to adulthood...
what on earth is it?
She picked up her phone and called Fu Shiyue, but no one answered...
Night fell like a giant black curtain, silently covering the entire city. In this quiet moment, Fu Shiyue turned around quietly, his gaze fixed on Fu Shiling standing in front of him.
His eyes held a deep gaze and a hint of doubt, his sharp gaze seemingly able to pierce through the other person's very soul. Fu Shiyue narrowed his eyes slightly, and spoke slowly but firmly, "You came back from Australia just to take the Fu Group from me? Even going so far as to collude with Wan Shen?"
His voice was deep and powerful, each word carrying a heavy weight, making people hold their breath. Fu Shiyue's eyes flashed with anger and disappointment as he stared intently at the other man, as if trying to see through the mask to the true intentions hidden behind it.
However, Fu Shiling stood calmly before him, displaying an expression of indifference and fearlessness. After all, he had returned to reclaim the Fu Group, and more importantly, to take away everything that man cherished, ruthlessly stripping him of his happiness and glory; he had to ensure that his beloved mother's spirit could rest in peace, allowing her to return to the Fu family ancestral hall with dignity, enjoying the respect and offerings she deserved. This was not only for his mother, but also for his own dignity and honor!
"You have a woman named Xie Shiyun by your side, right?" he said, then suddenly let out a cold laugh. "You love her very much, don't you?"
His laughter was chilling. Despite his youthful and radiant face, his bright eyes held a suppressed emotion, a cold cruelty. Beneath the facade of his smile, a few glints of icy malice still emanated from him.
"I seem to be quite interested in her as well. What kind of woman could you have kept hidden for so many years?" Fu Shiling stroked his chin and asked thoughtfully.
"Fu Shiling! If you dare to have even the slightest thought about her, I will make you pay a terrible price!" Fu Shiyue warned resolutely, his eyes icy.
Their somber gazes clashed in the air, creating a silent tension.
He knew clearly that the Fu Shiling before him was no longer the naive boy who was bullied by everyone. Over the years, his experience of venturing across the ocean to Australia had completely transformed him. On that unfamiliar land, he had endured hardships and learned to be hard-hearted and decisive.
Nowadays, he acts decisively and ruthlessly.
He remained silent, slowly leaning back with a mysterious smile playing on his lips, as if concealing endless meaning. Then, he shrugged lightly and said firmly, "In this world, nothing can frighten me anymore. Do you think I would give up so easily because of your threats?" With that, he resolutely turned away, his back to the other person, and continued, "Absolutely not!"
He was about to turn and leave, but suddenly stopped. He turned his head slightly, staring at the other man with a defiant gaze, a cold smile playing on his lips: "Hmph! Do you really think I know nothing about what you've done here all these years? Don't think you've covered your tracks perfectly; I've seen it all. Now let me tell you, if your beloved woman knew about all the shady things you've done, would she still want to stay by your side?"
His voice carried a hint of disdain and mockery, as if he could see right through the other person's unease and fear. After saying this, he turned around again, preparing to leave.
However, before taking the first step, he paused, as if remembering something important. Then, he turned back and said in a sharper tone, "And don't treat everyone else like fools. You may think you can fool everyone, but the truth will eventually come out. At that time, you will lose everything, including what you cherish most."
After saying his last words, he didn't linger and resolutely walked into the distance, leaving Fu Shiyue standing there, lost in thought...
After a while, he picked up his phone and looked at the series of flashing numbers on the screen, a complex emotion welling up inside him. All these missed calls were from the same person—Xie Shiyun. He stared at that familiar name, his finger hesitantly hovering above the dial button, wanting to call back, but for some reason, his hand seemed frozen, unable to press the button.
He slowly put down his phone, turned and walked to the office window, standing there quietly, his tall figure silhouetted against the light. He put his hands in his pockets, his gaze drifting into the distance, his thoughts drifting back to a long time ago…
At the age of 20, Fu Shiyue already had plans for his future. He longed to join the Fu Group and showcase his talents and ambitions. However, at that time, he was still quite inexperienced and lacked sufficient qualifications and experience to directly enter this vast corporate empire.
Just then, Fu Shiyue's grandfather gave him a difficult task: to approach Xie Changrong of the Fanxing Group and persuade him to cooperate with the Fu Group. Faced with this seemingly impossible task, Fu Shiyue did not back down, but instead regarded it as a rare opportunity.
At that time, the Fu Group was just emerging and had not yet attracted widespread attention in the industry. In contrast, the Fanxing Group was one of the most outstanding design groups in the market at the time, with a well-established reputation. Fu Shiyue knew that to successfully cooperate with such a powerful competitor, he would need to put in much more effort and use more sophisticated methods…
He sat there quietly, his brow furrowed, as if the whole world had frozen. His thoughts drifted back to the past, to that moment that had caused him endless pain and confusion—the death of Xie Shiyun's parents, which was actually caused by the Fu family, and he was also involved.
To atone for his sins, he risked everything to save Xie Shiyun and took her back to his side, determined to raise her to adulthood himself. However, it was in the year she lost her parents that Xie Shiyun's personality underwent a dramatic change. The lively, cheerful, and sunny little girl gradually disappeared, replaced by an introverted and withdrawn teenager.
She no longer interacted with people as easily as before, filled with wariness and distrust towards the world around her. She shut herself off, immersing herself in deep inner pain, unwilling to open her heart to anyone. Her smiles became rare and precious, as if forgotten by time in some distant corner.
Despite being surrounded by a bustling crowd, Xie Shiyun felt incredibly lonely. She preferred to contemplate alone rather than participate in lively social activities. A faint sadness often lingered in her eyes, evoking pity in those who saw her.
The phone rang again, and he pressed the answer button again: "Ah Yun, what's wrong?"
His feelings were complicated. At this moment, he had a thousand words he wanted to say to her, but the words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't say them.
There was silence on the other end of the phone. Finally, he spoke first: "I'll be right back."
After hanging up the phone, he stood there for a moment, then slowly turned around and walked towards home.
Back home, his gaze involuntarily drifted to the room upstairs. The door was ajar, and a faint light shone from within. Was she still awake?
He tiptoed upstairs, hesitated for a moment at the door, then gently pushed it open and went inside. The room was quiet, with only the soft sound of her breathing. She was lying on her side on the bed, wearing a white dress, her back to him, seemingly asleep.
He quietly walked to the bedside and sat down, gazing at her back, a surge of indescribable emotion welling up inside him. He reached out, wanting to gently stroke her hair, but stopped just before touching her.
He sat there on the edge of the bed, watching her without moving.
Xie Shiyun seemed to sense his familiar presence, slowly opened her eyes, sat up straight, her gaze calm and her tone indifferent: "You're back."
Fu Shiyue responded softly. Looking at her stunningly beautiful face, he felt an urge to reach out and touch her. But just as his hand was about to touch her cheek, she turned her head slightly to avoid it.
Fu Shiyue's hand remained suspended in mid-air, somewhat embarrassed and disappointed. He looked at Xie Shiyun, a hint of pain and helplessness flashing in his eyes.
Suddenly, she spoke, "Fu Shiyue, I remember everything now." Her tone was calm, but carried an indescribable heaviness. It was as if, at this moment, she had finally unveiled the fog that had shrouded her heart and seen the whole truth.
She remembered it all; those memories buried deep in her heart surged up like a tide. Some were painful, some were beautiful, and every detail was so vividly presented before her eyes. Those times she had spent with Fu Shiyue, whether filled with laughter or tears, had now become indelible marks on her heart.
Fu Shiyue was stunned. He stared straight at her beautiful face, a hint of guilt flickering in his eyes. His voice was hoarse, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he only sighed softly.
She met his gaze without flinching, her face etched with pain. Her gaze was like a sharp sword, piercing his soul, leaving him no escape. She bit her lip, trying to hold back her tears, but her trembling voice betrayed her inner vulnerability: "Why? Why did you do this to me?"
Fu Shiyue watched her silently, his heart filled with conflict and helplessness. He knew that the mistakes he had made had caused her immense harm, but at this moment, he found himself powerless to make amends. He could only stand there silently, enduring her questioning and accusations.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Xie Shiyun became even angrier. She got off the bed and started hitting him repeatedly.
Fu Shiyue closed his eyes, letting Xie Shiyun's fists fall on him. He knew this was the punishment he deserved.
A moment later, Xie Shiyun stopped what she was doing and looked at Fu Shiyue, panting.
Fu Shiyue looked up at her with a face full of guilt, "I'm sorry, A-Yun, I know I was wrong."
"Can an 'I'm sorry' make up for the harm you've caused me?" Xie Shiyun's tears could no longer be held back and rolled down like a flood.
Fu Shiyue tenderly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. "I know I can't completely make up for the hurt I've caused you, but I will spend my whole life making it up to you. Please give me another chance to take good care of you."
Xie Shiyun's anger gradually subsided after hearing Fu Shiyue's words. She looked at Fu Shiyue, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.
"How can you possibly erase everything you've done for me and my family with just a promise to take care of them for the rest of your life? Fu Shiyue, how can you be so heartless as to say such a thing to me?" she said hoarsely.
"What other secrets do you have, Fu Shiyue?" She gave him a cold glance.
She stepped forward and grabbed his collar.
Her slightly upturned face was glistening with moisture. Her exquisitely beautiful and ethereal features were deathly pale, devoid of any color, soft and heartbreaking.
That day has finally arrived.
He had thought about it countless times. He hoped she would never regain her true memories; her former personality was something he had created himself.
Later, she slowly released her grip on his collar, her hands trembling as she desperately covered her ears, trying to block out all external noise.
Unable to hold on any longer, she collapsed and slowly sat on the ground, laughing, laughing and laughing...
Lost consciousness
"A-Yun!" Fu Shiyue hurriedly supported her, anxiously calling her name, but Xie Shiyun was already unconscious. He picked her up and rushed to the hospital, his heart filled with self-blame and worry.
"She's pregnant, two months along. The fainting was caused by overwork and emotional distress. She needs to rest." Fu Shiyue was overjoyed to hear the news.
"Okay, I understand, thank you, doctor."
He and she had a child!
After that, I stayed by her bedside, holding her hand tightly, silently keeping her company.
After a few days,
When Xie Shiyun woke up, she saw Fu Shiyue by her side. She felt a mix of emotions and didn't know how to face him.
"Ah Yun, you're awake."
You slowly opened your eyes, your blurry vision gradually clearing. The first thing you saw was his figure sitting by the bed. Your heart sank, and your brows furrowed slightly.
Xie Shiyun turned her head away: "Get out of here, I don't want to see you."
His eyes revealed concern and self-reproach. Xie Shiyun quickly turned her head away, avoiding his gaze, a complex mix of emotions welling up inside her.
Thinking back to everything that had happened, all the pain and hurt...
She tried to move away from him, but found herself unusually heavy. He quickly reached out to support her and asked with concern, "How are you feeling? Is anything bothering you?"
His voice was gentle and deep, but Xie Shiyun found it particularly grating.
She bit her lip, trying to keep her voice calm: "I told you to get away, but you didn't hear me." She pushed his hand away forcefully and tried to sit up.
His next sentence struck Xie Shiyun like a thunderbolt.
"Ah Yun, you are pregnant with our child."
