Thick smoke billowed, and the ground could not be seen clearly.

Everyone was running out.

If Gu Jinmo was not afraid of fire, he would definitely be able to escape. However, Gu Jinmo had a natural fear of fire. Once it caught fire, it would be difficult for him to escape.

Wen Yan picked up the tablecloth beside her and placed it in the fish tank. She draped it over her body and rushed upstairs.

…

Smelling the familiar thick smoke, Gu Jinmo stood at the door without moving.

His feet seemed to be nailed to the ground. In a trance, he saw a tall figure rushing in.

That person anxiously held his head.

“Ah Mo, Ah Mo…”

The man dragged him out.

Gu Jinmo closed his eyes, his voice dry and hoarse as he softly called out a name.

Wen Yan was stunned.

Just as she had guessed, Gu Jinmo couldn’t move when he saw a fire. This was his hidden illness.

No matter what he was doing at that time, as long as he saw the fire and felt the thick smoke, he would soon lose consciousness, as if he had entered another world.

It was an accident when she found out about his hidden illness. That was the first time he drove her back to the Gu family villa. On the way, a car caught fire. Gu Jinmo, who was driving, froze immediately and even forgot to step on the brakes.

If she hadn’t pulled the steering wheel and crashed into the bushes next to them, perhaps both of them would have lost their lives.

After that day, she realized Gu Jinmo never entered the kitchen and would deliberately avoid all kinds of things related to fire.

Although she was curious, she had never asked. She was afraid that Gu Jinmo would despise her.

However, she had always remembered that Gu Jinmo was afraid of fire.

At this moment, Gu Jinmo closed his eyes, but his entire body was twitching.

As the thick smoke billowed, his eyes were filled with tears.

Wen Yan gritted her teeth and dragged him out.

One Step

Another step…

From the room to the stairs, she used all her strength.

“Gu Jinmo, hold on! Cough cough…”

In Gu Jinmo’s ear, she shouted loudly, “Gu Jinmo, don’t let anything happen to you. Otherwise, all your assets will be mine!”

These words made Gu Jinmo’s eyelids twitch.

Wen Yan saw that this was useful and continued to provoke him, “When the time comes, I’ll take your money and eat and drink well. I’ll keep a young hunk and walk to the peak of my life.”

After saying that in one breath, she continued to cover her mouth with a towel.

Gu Jinmo’s tightly shut eyelids finally opened. He coughed and said, “How dare you!”

Her red lips curled up. So he still cared about these things.

Therefore, seeing that the fire could not be moved was a psychological problem. As long as he was stimulated, he could overcome it.

Her gaze moved slightly and she patted his leg, “Can you stand up?”

Gu Jinmo’s feet felt inexplicably hot from her patting. He frowned and lifted his feet, but there was still no movement.

He pushed her away and whispered, “Leave quickly. Don’t worry about me.”

Wen Yan looked outside the door. The entire first floor was shrouded in smoke. She couldn’t even see the door, let alone escape.

The furniture fell to the ground in a mess, blocking the way.

“I can’t get out.” Wen Yan smiled in despair. “Gu Jinmo, I won’t be buried with you, right?”

“If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have saved you.”

Her clear and teasing voice made Gu Jinmo open his tightly shut eyes.

The corners of the man’s eyes were slightly red. His eyes were cold and misty.

Although she said those harsh words, there was no fear on her face.

She was beautiful, but her usual low-profile made her beautiful.

Perhaps he had never seen through her, just like how he thought she would be timid, but he did not expect her to rush in to save him.

He remembered she had been outside the house the whole time, so she did not have to come in.

Ever since that incident, he had been afraid of fire. In the fire, he could not feel the heat. Instead, his entire body felt cold. The doctor had said that this was a psychological problem. Perhaps he would recover one day, or perhaps he would never recover.

The appearance of Wen Yan lit up a small flame in his heart, bringing warmth to his entire body.

The fire siren sounded outside the house, and the paramedics finally arrived.

He did not know where he got the strength to help her stand up.

“I will not let you die…”

Suppressing the fear in his heart, he lifted his stiff legs and walked forward.

Just as Wen Yan heaved a sigh of relief, the chandeliers on the ceiling fell one by one.

Under the high temperature, the crystal lamps were already burning hot. One after another, they hit his body, burning and hurting.

Gu Jinmo pulled her into his arms. She heard a muffled groan as he protect her from everything.

The man’s embrace was very warm and steady, but it was like a strong tree.

“Gu Jinmo, can you stand up? Can you walk?”

No respond.

Suddenly, the weight on her body increased.

“Gu Jinmo!” Wen Yan supported him, but all she saw was his unconscious eyes.

Wen Yan dragged him forward. Sweat and thick smoke made it hard for her to see the road ahead, but she only had one goal, and that was to bring Gu Jinmo forward, straight ahead.

After an unknown period of time, a ray of light finally entered the dark room.

Someone rushed in.

“There’s someone! There are still people!”

“Save them!”

…

Wen Yan smiled.

They were finally saved!

From the ambulance to the hospital, Wen Yan was sober the entire time. She could clearly hear others calling her silly.

“It is said that she went in later to save people.”

“How silly. President Gu doesn’t love her.”

…

Yes, you’re really silly, Wen Yan.

Wen Yan closed her eyes mockingly.

She finally fell into darkness.

She dreamt that when she first entered university, she was just one of the people Gu Jinmo sponsored. After graduation, the jewelry she designed had already won an award overseas. She rejected the olive branch from a well-known foreign company just to thank the Gu family for funding her for four years of university and choosing to be a small designer at the Gu Corporation.

At that time, the design of the Gu Corporation was very ordinary. After she entered, she was discriminated against by others in the company. It was Gu Jinmo who helped her out. She also used her ability to bring the design department of the Gu Corporation to a new height.

From then on, he became her light.

When she woke up from her dream, it was morning. There was no one around except for the nurse who was doing a checkup for her.

“I want to be discharged,” Wen Yan stood up and said to the nurse.

The doctor insisted she stay in the hospital, but Wen Yan did not want to stay in the hospital because she did not have any other injuries.

The atmosphere in the hospital made her depressed. From time to time, she thought of the scene of her grandmother’s death.

The cause of the fire at the Gu residence was still under investigation.

Gu Jinmo’s life was out of danger, but he was still unconscious. Su Qianqian stayed by his side, and even the news reported that Su Qianqian was Gu Jinmo’s savior.

Wen Yan did not want to see this kind of news with obvious artificial traces. She turned off his phone and took a taxi to the Xie family’s manor.

The Xie family manor occupied a large area. It took half an hour to walk from the main gate to the residence.

The Gu family also had a manor as big as this, but it was a little far from the city, so it was not as big.

The Xie family was indeed rich.

Wen Yan picked up his phone and dialed Xie Yiye’s number.

“You’re here?”

On the phone, Xie Yiye naturally saw the news as well. His tone was serious, “Didn’t I tell you not to come over?”

“It’s fine now. Since I promised you to come, I have to keep my promise.”

She kept her promise and hoped that he would do the same.

Xie Yiye didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, “Don’t worry, I’ll do what I promised you. Forget it, since you’re here, just stand still. I’ll go pick you up.”

“Yes.”

After hanging up the phone, Wen Yan stood still.

A group of people dressed in servants’ uniforms walked past him in a hurry.

These people were like servants of the Xie family. They ran anxiously while searching.

“The Madam ran out, quickly search for her!”

“Where can we find her in such a big place? If President Xie finds out, we’re finished.”
