Song Yunshu ran out of the villa, planning to walk a bit to the bus stop outside.
However, before she had gone a few steps, a black Maybach suddenly caught up from behind and honked, calling her attention.
Song Yunshu turned around.
The window of the back seat had been lowered, and the man's stern face appeared in front of her.
Huo Cen turned to look at her.
Even through his glasses, she could clearly feel the pressure emanating from those dark pupils, which made her grip the bag in front of her tightly.
"Sister, brother-in-law."
"Where are you going?"
"I'm going home."
"Get in the car."
"What?"
The man's succinct words made Song Yunshu stunned for a moment.
Get in the car?
Why get in the car?
She grabbed her bag in a panic. "The bus stop is just ahead, I can walk there. It's not far, I don't want to trouble you, brother-in-law."
Song Yunshu smiled awkwardly at him.
However, the man did not respond to her and turned his head sideways.
His cold and distant gaze fell on her with an irresistible meaning.
Meanwhile, the chauffeur had already gotten out of the car and walked around the front of the car to her side. He opened the door for her and made a gesture to invite her in.
"Miss Su, please. Our Master doesn't easily invite people into the car."
The chauffeur had a smile on his face and a calm tone, as if not giving her a chance to refuse again.
However, Song Yunshu wasn't someone who would easily be compromised either.
Now that her relationship with the An family was delicate, and Huo Cen was about to marry An Jiaqing, she really didn't want to have too much contact with him under such complex circumstances.
Moreover, she had only met Huo Cen for the first time today. She really wasn't at the point where she could get into his car without any scruples.
"Thank you, Brother-in-law. But I really don't need it. It's just a short walk. I'll go back on my own."
After saying that, Song Yunshu turned around and ran away.
She didn't give anyone a chance to speak at all.
The chauffeur looked at the girl in front of him, who fled like a gust of wind and opened his mouth wide in surprise.
The next moment, he looked at the man in the car with a troubled expression. "Sir, this ..."
"Forget it, just follow behind her."
In the car, Huo Cen's calm gaze was still on the girl not far away. He fiddled with the ring on his other hand, lost in thought.
"Yes, sir."
Song Yunshu's feet seemed to be oiled as if there was a ferocious beast behind her.
When she turned around and saw Huo Cen's car following behind her, she quickened her pace to escape.
Although she didn't know what this man wanted to do.
However, there was a voice in her heart that told her:
Run away as far as possible from him, as he was An Jiaqing's fiancé. It was better to stay away from him.
Finally, Song Yunshu reached the bus stop. When she turned around, Huo Cen's car suddenly accelerated and quickly passed by her.
At that moment, Song Yunshu finally relaxed and let go of the tension she had been holding.
The next morning, Song Yunshu went to the hospital early with a nervous heart to do a checkup.
As she sat on a chair in the hospital corridor with the confirmation of her pregnancy in hand, her already frail body felt even more unsteady.
The moment she found out that she was pregnant, Song Yunshu went to the doctor to abort the child without hesitation.
The doctor had wanted to persuade her to go back and discuss it with the child's father, but Song Yunshu was adamant that there was no need for discussion.
The doctor had no choice but to give up. After confirming the time of the operation with her, Song Yunshu left the hospital.
It was midsummer in August. She stood at the entrance of the hospital. The hot sun shone on her body, but she felt that her body was still cold.

It was Thursday night, the day before Huo An's wedding.
As the wedding was the next day, some of the close relatives of the two families gathered the night before the wedding to discuss the procedure of the wedding tomorrow.
That day, Song Yunshu was also called over by An Jiaqing. She was sitting in a corner of the private room.
As the bride-to-be, An Jiaqing was wearing a cheongsam and expensive jewelry. Her every frown and smile made her look beautiful.
Huo Cen, who was standing beside her, was still wearing a white shirt and trousers. The simple clothes could not hide the noble aura he exuded at all.
The emcee knocked on the door and walked straight to the bride-to-be and groom-to-be.
"Mr. Huo, Miss An, we've already prepared a celebratory video as requested for tomorrow's wedding. You can take a look and see if you're satisfied."
An Jiaqing hugged Huo Cen's arm and smiled sweetly. She couldn't wait any longer. "Great, let's play it for everyone to watch."
The lights dimmed, and the projection screen above their heads gradually lit up.
The unbearable scene completely shattered the beautiful anticipation that An Jiaqing and the An family had been looking forward to for a long time.
