The next day was Saturday. After Xin Yao fell asleep at night, she was thinking about going back to City Y to visit the grave. In addition, the photos she had seen in that small room during the day, she would inevitably subconsciously recall them when she was asleep.

I don’t know how long I slept, but Ji Xinyao was wandering in the nightmare in the dark, her whole body was filled with intense anxiety, her lips trembled, and she called down: “No…No, no…”

"Xin Yao, Xin Yao?" Gu Nanxi returned to the bed and saw that she seemed to be frightened by a nightmare. She called her gently, reached out to her and patted her back while sleeping sideways: "Are you having a nightmare again?"

"Don't...Nancy...Nancy..."

"I'm here, I'm here." His hands patted her comfortably behind her back.

As if he heard his voice, Ji Xinyao slowly calmed down, but still did not wake up. Her body instinctively leaned into his arms as he lay beside him, and her head was drilling into his arms, and she kept humming and talking in her mouth, holding the fabric on his chest tightly, as if he would disappear as soon as he let go of his hand.

Her hand even wrapped around his neck, and circled it tightly. The strength of the circle holding him made Gu Nanxi feel uncomfortable, but he didn't break away. He just looked at her with a funny look as if she was so uneasy after falling asleep, but she relied so much on her posture. She bent down her head and kissed her gently on the tip of her nose.

After a while, Gu Nanxi could barely hear the rough sound from her humming voice.

Ji Xinyao leaned into his arms and said, "Nancy, don't leave, don't go... don't... no... no..."

She kept repeating this sentence in her mouth, and even hugged his neck tighter. While she said, she was drilling into his arms with force.

Gu Nanxi was stunned for a while, lowered her head and looked at her with a soft look, hugging her gently. In the end, she could only hug her tightly in this way, and softly said in her ear and comforting and assured: "Well, if you don't leave, we won't leave. I will always be by your side and the baby. Be good, don't be afraid..."

Erbing slept darkly at night. I don’t know if Xin Yao, who was still struggling in the nightmare, heard it, but she finally calmed down completely because of the gentle sounds that were pressed against her ears and the caressing under her palms. Then she fell asleep again under her pat and comfort.

But Gu Nanxi in the dark patted her back over and over again, always comforting her emotions in her dreams. She opened her eyes and did not fall asleep for a long time.

When Xin Yao woke up, it was already very bright. The alarm clock she had originally set was 3 a.m. because she wanted to fly back to City Y to visit the graves early in the morning, so that she could also arrive at her mother's cemetery before 8 a.m. But when she saw that it was already past 5 a.m., it was already spring. It was already bright outside at 5 a.m., and the weather today seemed very good. The sun was very abundant in the early morning, but the other side of the sky was a little darker.

In the transparent room illuminated by the sun, Xin Yao felt a little dazzling. She raised her hand and put it in front of her for a while. When she turned her head, she realized that Gu Nanxi had left at some point. The half of the bed next to her was cold without a trace of temperature.

After turning his head and looking at the cold place beside him for a long time, Xin Yao came to her senses and reached out to gently caress the place where he had slept before leaving.

She remembered the dream last night. Gu Nanxi was covered in blood. She couldn't catch him or touch him. She screamed and chased him, but she couldn't touch his face no matter what. He went further and further and further.

It is said that pregnant women have a changeable mood and occasionally have strange nightmares to disturb their moods. But this dream is too real, and it is so real and terrible that she still feels lingering fear.

After a while of silence, she hurriedly got up and hurriedly ran out of the bedroom. Gu Nanxi promised her that she would accompany her back to City Y today, why did she disappear so early?

The panic and inexplicable uneasiness made her rush out directly, but she could not see Gu Nanxi. She was about to put on her clothes and go out, but as soon as she ran to the door, the door in front of her opened from outwards and inside.

Gu Nanxi has already dressed neatly, with a slightly solemn black shirt and black cotton trousers, and her neat short hair is clean and fluffy, natural and handsome. Just a glance, it makes people feel at ease.

"Awaken?" Seeing Xin Yao standing in front of the door, Gu Nanxi slowly closed the door and handed her the breakfast I had just bought: "You have been having nightmares last night and were sleeping uneasy. You could only fall asleep safely a few hours ago. I didn't call you at 3 o'clock. I called the airline because it was raining at the airport. The flight we booked last night was an hour late and had not taken off yet. You can eat some breakfast now, wash it and clean it up. We drive directly to the airport and find someone to arrange the VIP channel for security check, and we can still catch up."

The big stone that was hanging inexplicably in his heart finally fell down. Xin Yao immediately smiled, took the breakfast, took it to the dining table and took it out one by one.

Seeing her look of being frowning and smiling for a while, Gu Nanxi walked over and said, "What was your expression when I entered the door just now? It was as anxious as if the sky was about to have a bed."

"It's nothing. I had some nightmare last night and haven't recovered from the dream." Ji Xinyao curled her lips and secretly scolded herself for being childish in her heart.

Gu Nanxi stirred up her beautiful eyebrows and chuckled: "What nightmare? About me?"

When Ji Xinyao thought of the scene in the dream, she felt uncomfortable and turned her head to glar at him: "A dream, please ask, Mayor Gu, when will he be so gossiping? Have breakfast soon. After eating, we will go back to City Y. Go early and come back early, so as not to delay your work."

Gu Nanxi just laughed and said no more.

But as Gu Nanxi said, the sun was still shining brightly here on the Mumuli, but it started to rain heavily at the G City Airport. Because there were not many vehicles on the road in the early morning and there was no congestion, so I accelerated and arrived at the airport smoothly before the plane took off. I quickly passed the security check and got on the plane. Only then did Xin Yao's heart fall.

When I arrived in City Y, it was around 8 o'clock in the morning. Although it was a little later than expected, it was not considered early in the morning and it was still a little later. But it was better to be later. At least some people could be avoided in the cemetery.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, it was drizzling in City Y. Xin Yao was holding a handful of white chrysanthemums in her hand, wearing a white loose long gown and a black coat. Gu Nanxi was holding some tomb-sweeping items for her, and holding an umbrella in the other hand, steadily above the heads of the two.

The two walked slowly into the cemetery in the western suburbs of Y City. Ji Xinyao only had the opportunity to come this place this time on this day every year, because it was too remote and too hidden. No one could come in at any time except for specific times.

Seeing Gu Nanxi quietly accompanying her, when she walked into the cemetery, Xin Yao smiled and turned to look at him: "Nancy, look at this cemetery, do you think Ji Qiuhang is not so cruel to my mother?"

Gu Nanxi said nothing, but just changed the umbrella to her other hand, took her casually, and gently pressed her in her arms.

Xin Yao continued to smile and looked around: "Do you know where this cemetery is? This place is the place where some of the more special death row prisoners in the First and Second Prisons of Y City were buried after being shot. It looks quite regular, but he put my mother and these criminals who are still well-off just to avoid attracting the attention of others."

"No one dares to come here normally, except for the families of the deceased who occasionally come here, but it is also very desolate. How many people are willing to sweep the graves for a death row inmate all year round? So here is usually only the two old men from the mailroom outside the cemetery to clean up."

"And I, at this time of year, come with Xiu Li to sweep the grave for my mother." Xin Yao chuckled: "But this year, Xiu Li should not come again. Her biological mother is still alive, waiting for him to respect her, and my mother, who has been dead for more than 20 years..."

As soon as he said this, Ji Xinyao's steps suddenly stopped and his eyes stared at the straight figure standing in front of Shan Xiaoou's tombstone.

Gu Nanxi's steps also stopped at the same time, and both of them looked at the figure lightly.

The man felt two gazes not far away, slowly turned his head and looked at them quietly.

Xin Yao bit her lip secretly. Gu Nanxi put down the hand that was holding on her shoulder, but at the same time he held her hand and walked over: "Old Shan."

Old Dan nodded and looked at Gu Nanxi with great satisfaction. After that, his eyes turned to Ji Xinyao who was silently holding a handful of Bai Ju and not talking: "Child, you have suffered."

Ji Xinyao still didn't say anything. She paused, then gently placed the flower in her hand in front of the tombstone, ignored Mr. Shan and bowed slowly. Gu Nanxi also expressed his respect and remembrance to Shan Xiaoou's tombstone. Xuyu pulled Xin Yao's hand and always encouraged her.

In fact, Ji Xinyao is not escaping from the Shan family. She is just numb to everything her mother has encountered and everything she has encountered. Like her, her mother has never really come into contact with the Shan family since she was a child. She is unfamiliar with two generations, so why bother to force her to recognize her relatives because of this blood relationship?

But Mr. Shan was able to find this place, which shows that Mr. Shan was really interested in this daughter. At this moment, Ji Xinyao couldn't say anything, but just took a step back and leaned against Gu Nanxi: "Let's go."

"I went to Ji's house. I heard that Ji Chengcheng had been detained for several months but had not been able to go back yet. Ji Qiuhang and He Manni beg me and beg me to help rescue their daughter." Old Shan suddenly spoke.

Ji Xinyao paused, suddenly looked up, and looked at Gu Nanxi, who also raised his eyebrows lightly.

Gu Nanxi pinched her hand and told her not to worry. Then she looked at Shan Heping, who was standing there: "Old Mr. Shan, are you going to interfere in the Ji family's affairs?"

"No." Shan Heping glanced at Gu Nanxi and walked slowly over: "What did they do to my daughter Shan Xiaoou? I only found out a rough idea. However, I am afraid that I still have to go through the mouth of the child Xin Yao to understand. The Ji family did not know that Shan Xiaoou was my daughter, and they still asked me to help this with their relationship for many years."

As he said that, Shan Heping looked at Ji Xinyao again, thought for a while, and then said seriously: "Child, it doesn't matter if you don't want to recognize me. So, let me tell me, should I help you with this?"

"It's your choice whether to help or not. What does it have to do with me?" Xin Yao said coldly.

Mr. Shan seemed to be unhappy because of her lukewarm attitude, but he just sighed: "You really think I am old? I can't tell you that you can separate the eyes of the Ji family and bring Ji Chengcheng's baby daughter into the bureau. No one can help you to protect people. Is it through Nancy's hands? I know Nancy's character. If it weren't for the big mistake that made him really angry, he would never have treated Ji Chengcheng like this. At least Gu Ji and the two families still have some relatives, right?"

"Child, tell me the truth, what's going on between you and the Ji family? Since Ji Qiuhang is your father, why didn't he mention you when I went to Ji's family? And when I mentioned you, why was He Manni's attitude of avoiding the topic?" Old Shan narrowed his eyes and suddenly looked at her with a serious look: "I went to prison yesterday and saw a person named Xu Limin."

As soon as he heard these three words, Ji Xinyao felt uncomfortable all over. She frowned and looked at Old Dan coldly.

Mr. Shan just smiled faintly: "If I guess correctly, the Ji family is also behind this surnamed Xu. Xu Limin will be injected into death next month, but the news about him is tightly closed."

Mr. Shan smiled again: "It can be seen that in order not to affect your emotions when you are pregnant, Nancy has completely eliminated this bastard named Xu in your life. She has no intention of letting you contact you again. He does protect you very well now, but Xin Yao, you don't want to recognize me, so you should let my grandfather know how Ji Qiuhang defeated my daughter back then, how did the Ji family bully my grandson, and how did Ji Chengcheng force you away alive?"

Ji Xinyao didn't expect that Xu Limin had already been arrested before he knew it. He turned to look at Gu Nanxi in shock. Although he did not express his opinion, he just smiled at himself gently, and raised his hand to put the coat on her body, she knew that Mr. Shan was right. Gu Nanxi protected her so well now. He made her forget everything bit by bit, and chose to let those who had hurt her completely disappear when she didn't know it, so as not to think too much.

As for Mr. Shan, he was able to say these words, obviously, Mr. Shan had used special channels to find out a lot of things, and he was just asking for verification from her.

"About Ji Chengcheng, if Mr. Shan wants to help the Ji family, then please give me a request. There is not much justice in this country. You have great power and you can let someone out if you want to let someone out. It is their blessing to be able to get you from the Ji family. I just want to ask, I have never really thought that she will be punished with evil in this life. Someone protects others' great causes and begging them. Now you are here to ask for my opinion. What else can I say?"

Xin Yao was unwilling to mention Ji Chengcheng. Whether it was dealt with or released, Gu Nanxi had done it for her, so she was satisfied. However, if Mr. Shan insisted on intervening in this, she would not want her husband to confront Mr. Shan for no reason, and she would not want him to cause trouble.

No matter what Gu Nanxi thought, she didn't want to cause any more trouble for him.

"Do you think I really want to save that stinky girl?" Old Shan frowned: "Xin Yao, are you pretending to be confused when you understand me?"

Mr. Shan's tone was a little excited at this moment: "Shan Xiaoou is my daughter after all. If I ask you these things now, can you still harm you? You girl..."

"Of course you won't harm me. You won't eat any pigs. Even if you used to harm me, it should be gone now. What should I be afraid of? Shan Xiaoou chose not to see you as a father in his life, so why should I make a relative with you? Old Shan, people should respect themselves!"

"You!" Dan Lao was so angry.13acv.

"Old Mr. Shan, let's go out to chat?" Gu Nanxi spoke at the right time, his voice faintly, but successfully suppressed Old Mr. Shan's anger: "Xin Yao was running around all morning before she arrived, so she asked her to spend more time with her deceased mother."

Old Dan frowned, but said nothing, and turned around and left with Gu Nanxi.

Before leaving, Gu Nanxi gently patted Xin Yao on the shoulder, which was a gentle comfort. Xin Yao understood and smiled hard at him.

After they walked out of the cemetery, Ji Xinyao let out a deep breath, stood silently for a while, relaxed his mood, and bent down.
