Yan Fei didn't understand why Gu Xiaolan agreed to his request so readily. Looking at her indifferent face, he suddenly remembered something and asked, "Xiaolan, can you tell me what exactly happened to your daughter back then?"

Upon hearing Yan Fei's question, the usually cold Gu Xiaolan showed a painful expression. Her facial muscles twitched, and she seemed to be struggling. Eventually, she opened her mouth to answer Yan Fei's question, saying, "Yan Fei, you know, I've been an orphan since a young age, losing both parents. So when I grew up, I wanted to build a complete family and have a child of my own. I wanted to give all my love to my family and child."

"The reason I later chose to be with Zhuge Liuyun wasn't because I couldn't see his true nature, but because he helped me greatly when I was destitute. That's why I unconditionally liked him. After deciding to be with him, I never thought of leaving him. I wholeheartedly helped him advance, boosting his honor, hoping he would achieve greater success and use it to change his flaws, making our family more harmonious."

"Thanks to my efforts, Zhuge Liuyun's career thrived. During this time, his behavior was decent, but I accidentally got pregnant. Initially, he didn't want the child, but I convinced him, and we decided to have the baby. However, when I was seven months pregnant, Zhuge Liuyun suddenly received an international task to pursue a fugitive. It was crucial to his future, and he wanted me to assist him. Yet he feared I couldn't help during my pregnancy, so he insisted I undergo an abortion, to terminate the child."

At this point, Gu Xiaolan's face turned angry, but she didn't stop and continued, "For Zhuge Liuyun's future, although I wanted a child of my own, I ultimately agreed to the abortion. At the time, I believed the child was removed, but later, I learned the operation wasn't that simple. Many things occurred during the surgery. Zhuge Liuyun wouldn't tell me the truth, and I couldn't uncover what had happened. Fortunately, with Ye Su's help, I entered the River of Time and, by reviewing past moments, finally discovered the truth of that abortion."

Yan Fei asked, "What was the truth back then?"

Gu Xiaolan seemed agitated and said, "Since my child was already seven months old, I was fully anesthetized to ensure she was removed smoothly, and I fell asleep during the surgery. But through the River of Time, I discovered that just after I was anesthetized, before the surgery could be performed, my child was born naturally. Although she was a premature baby, born three months early, she was very healthy, lively, and adorable."

"Upon discovering this unexpected situation, the surgeon immediately informed Zhuge Liuyun, who was waiting outside. Zhuge Liuyun feared losing control over me with a child in the picture, so he took the child to the river, wrapped her in a blanket, and attempted to suffocate her. But my child's fate was strong; when Zhuge Liuyun tried to throw her into the river, she woke up again. Zhuge Liuyun was heartless, and he brutally killed his own daughter with a Stone, then threw her body into the river."

"Afraid of a similar situation recurring, Zhuge Liuyun used my anesthesia to have the doctor perform sterilization on me. Since then, I can no longer have my own child. After this, the doctor who performed the surgery on me was quietly dealt with by him and has vanished. I was in a coma the whole time; after awakening, I didn't suspect anything and had no idea of the tragic fate that befell my poor daughter. If Zhuge Liuyun hadn't let it slip, I wouldn't have had any idea I once had such a lovely daughter."

Yan Fei didn't expect Gu Xiaolan to have experienced such a tragic event, which explained her furious reaction after discovering the truth from the River of Time, mercilessly killing Zhuge Liuyun. He then felt some understanding of Ye Su's words about Gu Xiaolan's sorrowful destiny—a parentless orphan who finally found a man to rely on, only to be betrayed by him, who also cruelly killed her daughter. If such a destiny isn't tragic, what destiny would be?

Gu Xiaolan said, "My poor daughter came into this World only to face such a tragic fate, caused by her own father. Don't you think Zhuge Liuyun deserved to die?"

Yan Fei agreed and said, "Yes, Zhuge Liuyun truly deserved to die."

Gu Xiaolan continued, "After learning all the truth back then, I deeply regretted trusting such a beast in human clothing. So, after returning to Shanghai, I sealed myself in the underground Septic Tank to atone for my reckless choices before. If you hadn't come here to wake me, I would have stayed sealed here forever."
