When she woke up, the sky was already dark.

Ye Tianxin looked around the room in a daze. It looked unfamiliar for a moment. After a while, she remembered that she was in the apartment of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Her body was scrubbed clean, and she felt refreshed. Li Qingcang used warm water to wash Ye Tianxin’s body while she was asleep.

Ye Tianxin walked out of the bedroom, wearing a nightgown but no shoes.

“Tianxin.”

When Li Qingcang saw Ye Tianxin walking out, he quickly turned to Jing Zhichen and Yan get who were sitting in the living room. “Close your eyes.”

The sight of his wife just waking up was so alluring. He did not anyone else to see that. He would pluck out the eyes of anyone who saw his wife in that state.

Ye Tianxin caught sight of Jing Zhichen and Yan Ge with their backs facing her. She quickly went back to the bedroom.

She wore a silk halter-neck nightgown. She didn’t mind if only Li Qingcang was present in the apartment, but it was a big problem now that there were other men outside the bedroom.

Ye Tianxin was mindful of how she should conduct herself in front of others. She could not let them see her like this.

Besides, Ye Tianxin’s chest had grown ever since she became pregnant.

“Tianxin, you looked so good suave in your military uniform during the press conference earlier.”

Ye Tianxin smiled cheekily. “No wonder people always say that the military uniform is the smartest outfit.”

Ye Tianxin thought of the time Li Qingcang wore a military uniform. He looked very smart and distinguished then.

Whenever Ye Tianxin saw him in his uniform, she had the urge to rip off his clothes as he looked on with a stoic expression. She thought it would’ve been an interesting yet alluring scene.

“Qingcang, did my underwear look smaller to you now that I’m pregnant?”

Li Qingcang nodded. He felt that his hands were too small now.

“Let’s go out. Otherwise, the two of them might think we are doing something indecent here.”

Li Qingcang took Ye Tianxin’s hand and walked out of the bedroom.

Ever since Gungun had vanished, Jing Zhichen had been in low spirits and did not talk much.

“Zhichen, Yan Ge.”

Jing Zhichen spoke gently to Ye Tianxin, “Tianxin, you did so well at the press conferences. Your fans seem to love you.”

Ye Tianxin grinned mischievously as she said, “Of course. I am an exemplary model for positive energy. Anyway, Zhichen, do you have any news of Gungun?”

Jing Zhichen shook his head. It was as if Gungun had vanished into thin air. No matter how hard they searched, they could not find a single trace of her.

Sometimes, when it was late at night, Jing Zhichen would wonder if had just been imagining Gungun’s appearance. Was he hallucinating?

Yan Ge rebuked Jing Zhichen by saying, “Who said that there was no news? Didn’t you ask me to look at a postcard?”

“Huh? What’s going on?” Ye Tianxin was a little curious.

Yan Ge took out a copy of a postcard and showed them. “Zhichen said that he received a postcard from Gungun, but there is no address or postmark on it. It was just a postcard stating that all is well. She told him not to worry about her; they were destined to see each other again eventually.”

Ye Tianxin carefully studied the handwriting on the postcard. She then asked, “Zhichen, is this Gungun’s handwriting?”
