Seven days passed without any news from Mo Yao. If a person goes missing and is not found within three days, the chances of survival are very low. Mo Baicao remains unconvinced and sends people to search again and again, using all available resources.

However, Mo Yao has disappeared like a drop of water into the sea, leaving no trace behind; he cannot be found anymore.

The days at the Mo family are filled with gloomy clouds.

The sea surface at the port remains calm. Mo Baicao does not dare to cry in front of them, nor can he pretend everything is fine or speak nonsense; he has lost all credibility.

Mo Baicao received Ji Bing's call seven days later. After tidying up a bit, he went to the hotel to meet Ji Bing. During these seven days, he had not slept or rested while searching for Mo Yao, hoping against hope that there might be some glimmer of hope. He ate very little and hardly closed his eyes; as a result, he looked somewhat haggard.

Ji Bing looked more haggard than Xiaobai. Her eyes were still red and swollen from crying for a long time. Ji Bing waited for Xiaobai in the hotel’s café, fearing that she would break down if she stayed inside the hotel and beg him not to leave.

Xiaobai...

Sitting across from her, he ordered a glass of lemon juice. Ji Bing felt a pang of pain seeing his listless appearance. Even though Xiaobai left without any regard for her feelings to seek someone else and made a scene on the stage with her alone, she still wished him well.

"Hasn’t your brother been found yet" Ji Bing asked. Mo Yao's disappearance had not been reported, but such an important matter would have reached Ji Bing in some way. From Xiaobai’s expression, she could tell that Mo Yao was still missing.

Perhaps he is dead or perhaps he has simply disappeared.

Seven days had already passed; the likelihood of him returning was slim.

小白 shook his head and said lightly, "I will find him."

"It's already been seven days," Ji Bing said calmly. Mo Xiaobai said firmly, "I will definitely find him."

Ji Bing’s eyes welled up with tears, her lips tightly pressed together as she tasted bitterness. With Bai so resolute and determined, did that mean there was no hope left for her Looking at Ji Bing, Bai spoke softly, “Ji Bing, I'm sorry. I've hurt you.”

“I don't know why you keep acting this way. Before we got married, I felt uneasy already; seeing you with Mo Yao made me even more uneasy. I kept telling myself that as brothers, they should be close and there was no need for my suspicions. But my instincts were right all along; I should trust a woman's intuition.” Ji Bing said bitterly. "Bai, you once told me that you always loved him. What does that make me"

Mo Xiaobai looked at Ji Bing calmly and said, “I'm sorry!”

Ji Bing shook her head and said, "Don't say sorry. I know I’ve lost, but I don’t understand what position I hold in your heart. If you always loved him, why did you come to me Why do you now give up on me when you’ve already stirred my feelings"

She wasn't hysterical or crazy; she just wanted an answer, a question that had been bothering her for a long time. She preferred to believe that Bai Xia was sincere with her, not pretending.

"I've always pretended to avoid his feelings, I didn't dare accept them. I feared such intense emotions and the possibility of falling in love with my brother. I felt inexplicably afraid; it was hard for me to accept. From a young age, I treated him as an older brother, so suddenly treating him as a lover was impossible for me. Yet, I had grown accustomed to his care and indulgence; he always tolerated my whims. In reality, I tested his feelings by constantly dating different girlfriends, but it seemed like my brother didn't mind or feel threatened. To him, loving me and whether I loved him back were two separate issues—apparently, he didn’t need my love as long as he could love me. At the time, I was in a rebellious phase and had always been insecure; his pride only made things worse. So I misunderstood everything and distanced myself from him, refusing to acknowledge my feelings for him. Since I'd never dated, I didn't realize that I was on the wrong path. My brother didn’t tell me it was wrong either because he cared about me and loved me without wanting to burden me with guilt. But then I met you; your dependence made me feel valuable again. So I liked being around you very much. Ji Bing, I really like you and want to spend my life with you. Only... I can’t do it now. I can no longer let him go. Brother has waited for me all these years, and I have hurt him so long; from now on, it's my turn to wait for him. No matter how long it takes, I will continue waiting."

"You're just feeling guilty..."

“No, it wasn’t guilt. I truly understood everything in Berlin after he hit me—I slowly figured things out and wanted to go back to explain myself, not allow him to be nice to Bai Liu. But then something happened to me.” Bai Xia spoke about this matter very frankly, facing those dark times head-on. “While in prison, if it weren’t for the belief that I couldn't die without resolving my grudges against my brother or seeing them through until the end, and if it were not for wanting him to know that I forgave him before dying, then I would have died in prison long ago. I endured all of this just so I could be with him again; I only wanted to spend the rest of my life with my brother well. I wish to give him my best self and love him tenfold, a hundredfold—this isn’t guilt... The true guilt is what I feel towards you.”

Ji Bing widened his eyes in disbelief as he looked at Bai Xia; Bai Xia spoke slowly and steadily, “What I’m saying is the truth. At your engagement ceremony, not only did you lose your fiancé, but also your parents and even a child. You survived it all, witnessed their deaths, suffered trauma that wiped out your memory—only to have me be the cause of these losses. So I want to make amends for what I’ve done.”

Ji Bing stared at Bai Xia in shock; Bai Xia continued calmly, “After you woke up, you relied on me completely and trusted me wholeheartedly. I wanted to compensate you in another way so that your life could be better. But the more you depended on and trusted me, the more captivated by you I became—nobody has ever needed or relied on me like this before. I felt a responsibility towards you; moreover, I liked you very much. I thought about giving you everything back, even more than what your fiancé could have given you—I would make my parents dote on you and give you children too. I’ve thought of so many things... Ji Bing, I really am sorry.” city pace. Instead, they have something soothing within them, which is their true essence.A person can't love another out of nowhere; there must be a reason why one's gaze is drawn to that person.Whe...
