On the first night of the exhibition, A Miao caught a cold.

"Don't go tomorrow." Jiang Quanyu looked at the thermometer. "Fortunately, there is no fever."

A Miao took the medicine with a glass full of water and groaned. "It's okay. I'll be better after the sleep."

The next morning, Jiang Quanyu saw that she was sleeping so soundly, and he left a note for her. Arriving at the exhibition hall, he saw Shen Xinglan, and naturally, Shanshan was following him.

"When can we drink a toast to Director Shen's wedding?" Jiang Quanyu seldom took the initiative to greet Shen Xinglan and Shen Xinglan frowned when he found him alone.

"Next year, um... or the following year." Shen Xinglan lifted up the corners of his mouth. "You will be invited after all."

Jiang Quanyu did not try to guess the meaning of his words but looked aside. Shanshan smiled at him and said, "Why is Mr. Jiang here alone? Where's sister A Miao?"

"Oh! She's sick." Jiang Quanyu sighed. "She had a fever all night and slept in this morning."

Shen Xinglan's eyes were dark, and finally, there was nothing left. "Then it is better for you to go back to take care of the patient sooner, or... this exhibition is more important."

"Haha, I just came to show my face, I'll be back later." Jiang Quanyu took a step to the right. "Take care, Director Shen."

Shen Xinglan and his party went to greet the organizer, then took a seat casually, and Shanshan looked at him carefully. "Brother Xinglan, do you want to see sister A Miao?"

"Do you want to go?" Shen Xinglan saw Jiang Quanyu be stopped by several senior officials. It seemed that he could not leave shortly.

Shanshan bit her lip. "She is sick alone... What a pity!"

"Then you have to ask Jiang Quanyu if he will let you go." Shen Xinglan turned to look at her. "I will not go."

"Mmm!" Shanshan nodded with a clever face. "I know."

Since the exhibition was being held by the government, there was a leader's speech at the beginning. The invited executives were all sitting in the VIP area, and the common people all crowded around the door.

While bypassing the main building, two men were standing in front of rusty iron gates in a remote alley behind.

"I'll go."

"I'll go."

Ouyang Jin looked at Ding V and said, "Roshambo for who wins and who goes."

"No, no one can beat you."

"Then who loses and who goes?" Ouyang Jin reached out his fist.

Ding V was expressionless. "No, you also decide who loses."

"OK!" Ouyang Jin made a gesture of invitation. "Go."

Ding V broke the chain on the door. "Come in five minutes."

Ouyang Jin looked at his watch and slipped in when the time was up. The camera had been damaged by Ding V. He assumed that he had found the jade pendant by now and waited for him to get it.

"What are you doing here?" He took a turn, and before he got to the backstage of the exhibition, he saw Ding V squatting on the ground.


Ouyang Jin followed Ding V's eyes and found a woman dressed in black stealing a painting nearby.

"Hey! Who are you, friend?" His voice was not loud or quite, just enough to let her hear it.

She stared blankly, probably not expecting that there would be others here.

Ouyang Jin walked slowly over. "Don't be afraid! I have always been very gentle with beautiful women." On the front of this woman's face, even the eyes were covered by sunglasses, the only thing exposed was the long hair on her head.

"Don't come here!" Her voice was very quiet, obviously not wanting to let them determine what her real voice was.

"I just wanted to ask if you want some help." Ouyang Jin stood still, glancing at the painting in her hand. "Is that all you want?"

The woman put the painting into a tube behind her back and looked at Ouyang Jin and then at Ding V, who was still squatting in the corner planting mushrooms, as if thinking about how to leave.

"Go that way!" Ouyang Jin pointed in the direction that he had come from. "It's very safe."

Ding V suddenly stood up and moved aside to make way. Ouyang Jin lifted his eyebrows and revealed a meaningful smile.

"Young lady, if you don't go, you can stay! Just help us open the lock over there."

Just as the voice died down, he saw the woman running toward the exit and disappear in a few seconds. Ding V also stood up and looked eagerly for a long time, not knowing what he was seeing.

"Who is she?"

Since Ding V did not do anything and even took the initiative to let her go, it meant that he knew and even knew her scent well.

Now that Ding V remembered to get down to business, he went over to the cabinet where the bronze mirror jade pendant was. "Unlock it quickly."

"Tell me who that woman is first?" Ouyang Jin folded his arms.

At the exhibition site, one hour had passed since all the leaders finished speaking. When it was announced that everyone could go in and walk around freely, the eyes of Shen Xinglan suddenly stopped. Then he bowed his head and walked in as if nothing had happened.

"Why are you here?" Jiang Quanyu frowned. "Aren't you sick?"

A Miao rubbed her nose. "I'm not bad, just a little stuffy nose."

"You should have a good rest." Jiang Quanyu touched her forehead to make sure there was no fever before he flicked it. "You came with a fever just for an exhibition?"

"I read the news and there were many good things here!" A Miao pushed his hand away. "I'm fine, let's go in quickly!"

Most of the exhibitions were calligraphy, paintings, and jade wares, which were said to date back to the Spring and Autumn Period and were all authentic. A Miao's eyes flitted through the exhibits. Jiang Quanyu asked her curiously.

"Are you looking for something?"

A Miao looked down and smiled. "Yes, I want to see if there is anything interesting! I don't understand paintings. Those jade ornaments are too common."

"There is nothing good here." Jiang Quanyu slowed down, and A Miao had to follow him slowly. "Isn't there always one or two exceptions?" She blinked. "I heard they all came from the museum."

Jiang Quanyu poked her in the head. "Fool, the good things have been put away long ago. These are to fool people..."

"Sister A Miao!"

A voice interrupted Jiang Quanyu, then the two of them looked up, not knowing when they had joined Shen Xinglan's line of people.

"It's great that you're all right." Shanshan stood beside Shen Xinglan and patted him on the arm affectionately. "I just said that I was going to see you!"

A Miao’s eyes swept across the face of Shen Xinglan, only to see him calmly staring at a vase nearby. She smiled and said, "I don't remember knowing you very well. I'd rather you not visit me when I'm sick."

"Pfft!"

A sneer came from Shen Xinglan's mouth. He turned to look at A Miao. "Shanshan is kind. You don't have to break her heart with this attitude."

"Haha, what does it matter if she is hurt or not?" Jiang Quanyu raised his hand and put his arm around A Miao's shoulder. "We really don't know your fiancee very well. Please keep an eye on her in the future and stop calling everyone sister."

Shanshan's eyes were full of tears and she bit her lips and sobbed aloud. There was a sudden sharp chill in Shen Xinglan's body, and everyone around him who had been secretly watching them shivered.

"Sorry." A Miao frowned. "I don't mean to annoy Mr. Shen, but I really don't know your fiancee well, and I don't want to know her well. If she sees me later, she'd better act like she doesn't know me."

She took Jiang Quanyu's arm and said, "Lest you cry again as if we had bullied you."

"Let's go over there!" Jiang Quanyu smiled.

When passing by Shen Xinglan, A Miao looked at him, only to see deep helplessness and sadness. The next second, there was nothing left, and its speed made it seem like it was an illusion.

"Sister A Miao!" Shanshan suddenly pulled her. "Has your memory come back? Otherwise, why do you hate me so much?"

A Miao turned around somewhat helplessly. "I can't remember anything, but is it strange that I don't want to be friends with you? We are not the same kind of people."

"Why?" Shanshan was adamant and clung to her.

There was a stabbing pain in her arm. A Miao gave Shanshan a pat on the hand. Seeing that she was still unwilling to let go, she simply gave her a good push.

"Let go!"

Shanshan let out a cry and suddenly fell to the ground.

"Ah!" She suddenly covered her stomach and cried, "It hurts… My stomach hurts, Brother Xinglan!"

A Miao, who had already turned away, looked back and her heart leaped. On the white marble floor, a pool of red was scattered under Shanshan's skirt. Thick, black blood dyed her calf red...

"Get to the hospital quickly," Shen Xinglan said. Then Shen I picked up Shanshan and ran out.

He and Shen II followed, took a few steps, but could not help looking back at A Miao. They almost returned to see her pale, dim face.

"Boss..." Shen II reminded him, "if you return, we will waste all the previous efforts."

Shen Xinglan closed his eyes and turned his head to step away.

"I say, you made the headlines!" He Shishi ran to A Miao's early in the morning and showed her the newspaper.

A Miao's cold had gotten worse again. She held a tissue box on the sofa and sniffled. "Cough… What did it say about me… Cough!"

"It said you could not forget your old love and you were jealous of Shanshan and caused her to fall and almost miscarry." He Shishi glanced at her. "What bad luck! Let's go to the temple to pray when you are ready."

"Is she all right?" A Miao casually threw away a mass of tissues and took another one.

He Shishi sneered. "Do you still care about her? She has a baby. I am afraid they will get married next."

"It's good that the child is fine." A Miao did not answer her words and said something to herself.

"Aren't you angry and sad?" He Shishi poured her a glass of water. "Those two adulterers will come to no good end sooner or later."

A Miao squeezed out a smile. "It's all right. When Shanshan marries Shen Xinglan, she won't pay any more attention to me."

"Seeing you now, I have no hope for love." He Shishi looked weak. "Ouyang Jin is like this, so is Shen Xinglan. He was going to die when you had the accident, but only after a few years, he made another woman get pregnant with his child..."

Seeing her like this, A Miao pretended to be sad also and rubbed her eyes. "Clearly it is I who should be comforted. Why are you sad first?"

"Ptooey!" He Shishi stood up. "Let's go, let's have a sauna and massage, maybe you will get better!"

In the hospital, Shanshan touched her stomach with surprise.

"Brother Xinglan, do I really... really have a baby?"
