The moment Li Fei reached the house, she went to the kitchen to find Yin Chen preparing some noodles. On seeing her, she said," Oh, you came back early today. Hope everything is alright. "Yes. It's just that something happened," she said. "What happened?" she asked. "Uhm...Mr Jin Liwei found out about it," she said biting the inside of her cheek in nervousness and hearing this, Yin Chen gasped and she paused with what she was doing. "What?! How did he find out?" she asked utterly perplexed. "Someone told him and it's why I've left the company early. I didn't want to encounter him when he still has so much anger," she said.
"He must be so angry right now. But you shouldn't worry so much. It will also come to an end," she said and Li Fei nodded but she knew that she was just consoling her.
After, she went to her room and sat down earnestly waiting for him come back. She had a number of anticipations on how he was going to punish her. Honestly, she was ready for anything.
When it clocked evening, Jin Liwei left the penthouse to head home. He had left the office shortly after receiving the news and he spent the the rest of the day at the penthouse thinking about so many things. Honestly, the non existent baby hurt him so much and he only wished that he could turn back time which was impossible. On his way home, he was thinking of several ways to approach her but he couldn't come up with any less aggressive approach. Reaching home, the gate for the Villa opened when he said," Take me to Jing's house." "Yes sir," replied the chauffeur and he turned the car before driving away. Jin Liwei decided not to confront her tonight because he knew that sooner or later, he was going to regret what he had planned to do.
"What a surprise! I honestly didn't expect to see you here especially after switching off your phone for the whole day," said Jing Yue.
"I know. I didn't plan the visit, I just found myself here," said Jin Liwei as they headed to the drawing room.
On reaching, Jin Liwei told him about the pregnancy and abortion and after, Jing Yue took a deep breath before saying," That is so bad. I'm so sorry to hear that. Did she have a reason as to why she did it?" "I don't know," replied Jin Liwei. "It might be because you forced her but then, it doesn't justify her action. The child was innocent," said Jing Yue and receiving no response, he continued," What are you planning to do?" "I don't know," he replied. At the moment, he honestly didn't know what to do. On one hand, he wanted to heavily punish her for what she did and make her beg for his mercy but on the other hand, he didn't want to see her suffering again since she had a soft spot in his heart.

The next morning, Li Fei woke up and looked around to see that she was still in her room. Yesterday, she slept very late waiting for Jin Liwei but it seems he didn't come home or in her room. But was it possible? Did Liu Han perhaps not tell him?
Suddenly, her eyes widened in realisation when she thought that he could have taken it out on her parents and she immediately called her mother. "Mom, are you okay? Is everything fine over there?" she asked. "Yes. Why do you sound tense? Are you alright?" "I'm okay. I just had a bad dream that's all," she said. "Okay, you shouldn't worry about anything we are fine
You didn't come home as you promised FeiFei," she reminded her. "Mom, I will call you back in five," she quickly hang up.
If he didn't do anything to her parents either then there might be a slight possibility that Liu Han didn't tell him. She decided to go to work today so as to confirm.
For the whole day, Li Fei didn't see him and neither did he call for her in his office and it made her wonder. She waited for evening once again to see if he won't come back home.
For three days, Li Fei was anticipating the CEO'S call to his office but it never happened and she had come to a conclusion that Liu Han hadn't told him anything. She breathed in a sigh of relief that he didn't know anything and she scolded herself for quickly jumping into conclusions.
At the time of dinner, her eyes would often look at the space he had started sitting in at the dining table and strangely, she missed him. She wondered why he no longer came back home nowadays yet he had started coming back everyday in the past days.
On the fourth night as Li Fei had just entered the bed, her door was opened with such great force that she jumped out of the bed thinking that they were intruders. On looking, she saw that it was Jin Liwei and the way he looked at her right now was spine chilling. "Mr Jin Liwei.." she whispered looking at him and he closed the door behind him before taking steps to enter the room.
When he reached where she was, he calmly asked," Why did you abort my child?"
Hearing this, her face turned pale as a white sheet of paper and she heard her heart hammering in her ears. He knew! She told him! She opened her lips to talk but no sound came out as her lips were trembling.
"Once again, I wasn't able to become a father because of you," he said looking at her. Her hands tightly clutched the sides of her night gown as she casted her head down so as to hide the tears that were starting to gather in her eyes.
He grabbed her wrist to make her look at him and when she did, he said," Why are you crying? Whose at fault here?" She looked at him with tear stained cheeks and in a hoarse voice she whispered," You're hurting me."
He hadn't realized that his grip on her was so tight but nonetheless, he didn't release her.
"This is nothing to how I felt when I found out that you killed my child," he said and it was clear that he was trying to conceal his anger.
