"Who is it?"

On the top floor of the Shangji Hospital inside the VVIP room, a handsome man laid on the bed, leaning back against the headboard, his eyes coldly staring at the man across from him.

Yes, you guessed it right. The man was Gu Yechen.

The man standing across from him was Chen Xiao, and he replied softly, "The KMK group."

Gu Yechen began rhythmically tapping his finger against his leg as he closed his eyes.

It has been a month already. . . A month since their honeymoon together, when the bombing happened. It was so fast he couldn't even react, and he immediately went unconscious after the crash.

Their beautiful and sweet honeymoon was disrupted just like that. . .

The next time he regained consciousness was over two weeks later already, and his mom had told him that he barely survived, and he suffered very severe injuries.

However, he didn't care about his injuries.

Where was He Xinyan?! He didn't want to think back to when he woke up and didn't see He Xinyan.

And when he asked his mom where He Xinyan was, the deafening silence still haunted him until now.

'When the police and medical workers arrived, Xinyan was nowhere to be seen. They didn't find her. The CCTV cameras had been broken from the bombing so there is no recording, but. . . but it is like she just disappeared into thin air! There were no hints of her at the crash!'

Gu Yechen clenched his fists together and leaned back against the headboard, thinking about the information Chen Xiao had just given him.

They have been searching for two weeks already, and they finally figured out who had caused the bombing and brought He Xinyan away. . . the KMK group, the biggest and most powerful underworld group in the world.

The dark circles under Gu Yechen's eyes could be seen from very far away. Since he woke up, he hasn't had a single good night of sleep, even when the doctor injected sleep medicine into him.

He couldn't help but think of He Xinyan whenever he was awake, and only when he was working or trying to search for her. Where was she?!

Gu Yechen sighed and opened his eyes again, staring out the window at the bright blue sky.

"The KMK Group. . ." He narrowed his eyes slightly, "It is time to pay him a visit."

Inside her room, He Xinyan couldn't fall asleep.

When she looked out of the window at the moon in the sky, she couldn't help but wonder if Gu Yechen was also looking at the same moon in some other place.

She missed him a lot. . . More than she could bear. Her heart ached every night thinking about him, even though she told herself to stay strong and be positive.

A single tear rolled down He Xinyan's cheek but she didn't wipe it away.

She missed his smile, his smell, his voice, his food, the sound of his footsteps in the house, his embrace, sleeping next to him, his everything. . .

He Xinyan closed her eyes, which caused several tears to fall down at once.

She lifted her hands up and wiped them away. Stop crying! Why was she crying?! Gu Yechen was definitely searching for her, and they will definitely reunite sooner or later.

Trapped inside this palace, she should also try and convince Yi Qiansi to let her go. . . Although she knew this plan was very unlikely, it was still worth a try.

He Xinyan took a deep breath and rolled around, closing her eyes.

A few minutes later, she was asleep.

He Xinyan was allowed to freely roam around the palace by now.

She frequently walked around the enormous palace. She told Yi Qiansi that she was just trying to get exercise in, but they both knew she was trying to find a possible exit.

Sometimes, he would walk with her in silence around and around the huge palace. The hallways all looked the same and for He Xinyan, it was easy to get lost.

A few days later, Yi Qiansi told her that he ordered people to build a movie theater in the palace so she could go watch movies when she was bored.

She nodded her head and walked into the movie theater, Yi Qiansi right behind her. He sat down next to her and asked her what she wanted to watch.

"Empire: A Documentary of Country Z's History. . . Do you have it?" He Xinyan asked, crossing her legs together on the movie theater chair.

Yi Qiansi frowned slightly as he began searching using the remote, "A documentary? You like history documentaries?"

He Xinyan shook her head, "I don't like it."

Yi Qiansi stopped searching, "Then why do you want to watch it?"

She grabbed the pillow on the chair and hugged it with a sweet smile, "He likes to watch it. . ."

She said sweetly as memories of their date that happened almost a year ago came back into her head, causing her to smile sweetly.

Maybe if she watched it again, it would feel more like he was right here with her.

It didn't take long for Yi Qiansi to figure out who "he" was, and he knit his eyebrows together slightly.

"If you don't like it, then let's watch something else. How about a comedy or romance movie?"

"No, I want to watch it." He Xinyan said forcefully, "I like it."

Yi Qiansi sighed but he still found the movie and began playing it.

"Are we going to turn the lights off?" He Xinyan asked as the lights were still on when the documentary already started playing.

Yi Qiansi gulped and glanced at her, "Can we keep the lights on?"

He Xinyan shrugged, "Sure."

A worker brought in a tub of popcorn a few minutes into the film and He Xinyan began eating. Yi Qiansi didn't fight over the popcorn with her and let her hold the tub herself and eat.

Originally, He Xinyan was still wide awake as the movie started and she had promised that she would stay awake for the entire movie!

She was going to finish it this time!

However, one hour into the documentary with over two hours left to go, He Xinyan really couldn't hold it anymore. The male narrator speaking sounded like a robot with his monotone voice, and it was impossible to stay awake.

How could Gu Yechen and all the other audience do it?!

He Xinyan yawned and looked into the empty tub of popcorn. She leaned back against the comfortable chair and closed her eyes, images of Gu Yechen coming into view.

She smiled and took a deep breath before she fell asleep.

A minute after she fell asleep, Yi Qiansi noticed as he also wasn't very focused on the movie. He turned his head around and looked at her for a very long time, narrowing his eyes.

It was quite weird that Gu Yechen still wasn't here. . . He had already purposely left so many loopholes for him and his team to find. Were they really so stupid to still not figure out that he was the one who planned it and took away He Xinyan?

Yi Qiansi pressed his lips together as his eyes focused on He Xinyan again.

She looked like a little kitten when she was asleep, her mouth slightly opened.

Yi Qiansi smirked softly at her dumb but cute appearance, his attention completely off the movie playing by now.

The longer he looked at her, the sound of the documentary got softer and softer. Then, almost as if he was being controlled, he slowly lifted his arm up and gently moved it around He Xinyan to the other side of her head.

Then, he slowly and softly moved her head over to him, resting it onto his shoulder.
