"Who dares!" Ye Wan suddenly produced a dagger in her hand, and without hesitation, pressed it against the artery in her neck.
The cold, sharp blade pressed against the artery in her neck. Agitated, the vein was unusually prominent. A slight movement would sever it, or if she was too flustered, the entire artery could be cut, leading to immediate death.
Gu Yunting's heart clenched tightly. The bodyguards also halted, watching nervously, daring not to make any rash moves.
"Ye Wan, don't be ungrateful! This child you're carrying is meaningless! You and I are over!" Gu Yunting forced himself to say those words calmly, but only he knew his heart was bleeding.
"Gu Yunting, you think too highly of yourself. You're meaningless to me now. I only want my child! I have nothing to do with you, and neither does he!" As Ye Wan spoke, the dagger had already drawn a tiny wound on her fair neck.

Gu Yunting knew Ye Wan's character. If he pushed her now, she would really hurt herself. He looked at her coldly, "You'd best take care of yourself!"
With that, he turned and left.
His scalded hand could no longer be opened. The ring in his palm felt like a grain of sand lodged in an oyster, causing him pain every second. Yet, amidst the excruciating agony, he felt this was his only salvation.
Only after Gu Yunting left did Ye Wan lower the dagger. She had brought it for self-defense and never expected it to be used in such a demeaning way. She found it ironic.
Ye Wan felt she could barely stand. She hurried upstairs and collapsed onto Ye Cheng's bed, falling into a deep sleep. It was a long, hazy period before she finally woke.
Upon waking, she felt an intense hunger. The aunt who cared for Ye Cheng had returned to the Lin family. Now, she was alone. There was ready-made food in the refrigerator. Ye Wan took out some noodles and two eggs, making a bowl of egg noodles.
As she brought the bowl to the dining table, she gazed at the fragrant noodles. Memories flooded back of eating noodles with Gu Yunting at the Gu residence, sharing one egg, dividing it between them. He never had enough and would steal her noodles.
Memories surged, and Ye Wan's hand, holding the chopsticks, trembled. She was alone now. She touched her lower abdomen with her left hand. From now on, it would be just her and the baby, relying on each other.
Ye Wan began to eat her noodles. Sometimes, she felt heaven had been kind to her. Whenever she felt she couldn't go on, it would give her a reason to live. First, it was Ye Cheng, and now it was the baby.
With them, she had to persevere. The world was vast, and she wasn't alone. They were her greatest conviction to keep living.
Tears fell into the bowl, one after another. She suddenly felt that humans were the cruelest beings in the world, capable of inflicting wounds that left others utterly broken.

When Lin Feiwei received the paternity test, her eyes lit up completely. It showed that Ye Wan had no familial relationship with her parents!
Specifically, there was no connection whatsoever with her father. With her mother, there was a slight link, perhaps because she had grown within her for a time.
None of this mattered. What was important was that she had to take this paternity test back to show her parents immediately.
Lin Zehan was called home urgently by his family. He didn't know what had happened and had intended to delay his return. However, the phone calls from home kept coming, one after another.
