The morning arrived quietly at the Gu mansion.
But for Li Xinyue, everything felt different.
She stood in front of the mirror, looking at her reflection.
The same face.
The same name.
The same body.
But inside…
She was someone completely different.
A woman who had died once.
A woman who had been given another chance.
A woman who refused to lose the people she loved again.
At breakfast, Gu Zhen noticed she was unusually quiet.
“You didn’t sleep well.”
Li Xinyue looked at him.
“How did you know?”
“You looked at the same page of the newspaper for ten minutes.”
She was surprised.
“You noticed?”
Gu Zhen calmly drank his tea.
“I notice everything about you.”
Her heart skipped.
Before, she never believed he paid attention to her.
But now she realized…
He always had.
She was just too blind to see.
After breakfast, Gu Zhen stopped her before she left.
“Xinyue.”
She turned.
“Be careful today.”
She smiled slightly.
“Are you worried?”
“Yes.”
His honesty surprised her.
The old Gu Zhen would have hidden his emotions.
But now…
He was slowly showing her his heart.
“I’ll be careful.”
She promised.
At the Li Group, Li Xinyue began investigating the mysterious person behind the messages.
The more she searched, the stranger it became.
The person knew details that ordinary people couldn’t know.
Details about her past.
Details about the time before her marriage.
“Miss Li.”
“We found something.”
He placed a document on the table.
Li Xinyue opened it.
Her eyes widened.
“This company…”
The company belonged to someone who had disappeared years ago.
A person connected to the Gu family’s enemies.
But there was something more shocking.
The person had once investigated…
Her death.
“Why would they investigate that?”
Chen Wei asked.
Li Xinyue remained silent.
Because she didn’t know.
Her death had always been considered an accident.
But now…
Was there more behind it?
Meanwhile, Gu Zhen received information from his own investigation.
His expression became dark.
The enemy was getting closer.
But there was another thing bothering him.
Li Xinyue.
He could feel that she was hiding something painful.
Not because she didn’t trust him.
But because she was afraid.
And he hated that.
He wanted his wife to know one thing.
She never had to be afraid with him.
That evening, Gu Zhen found Li Xinyue sitting in the garden.
The sunset covered everything in golden light.
He sat beside her.
“Tell me.”
She looked at him.
“Tell you what?”
“The thing you are afraid of.”
Her breathing stopped.
How could he understand her so easily?
“I…”
She struggled.
“I don’t know how to explain.”
Gu Zhen looked at her calmly.
“Then don’t explain.”
She was surprised.
“What?” Visit g.com for the full chapter.
“Just remember one thing.”
He held her hand.
“Whatever happened before…”
“I am here now.”
Her eyes became warm.
For the first time, Li Xinyue wanted to tell him everything.
But before she could speak…
A sudden message arrived.
Her phone screen lit up.
A picture appeared.
Her old death scene.
Her eyes widened.
Below the picture were words:
“You thought your death was an accident?”
Her blood ran cold.
Impossible.
Someone knew.
Someone knew that her death was not what she thought.
Gu Zhen noticed her expression.
“What happened?”
Li Xinyue looked at him.
For a moment, she wanted to hide it.
But then she remembered his words.
I am here now.
Slowly, she handed him the phone.
Gu Zhen looked at the picture.
His expression changed.
Not because he understood everything.
But because he saw the fear in his wife’s eyes.
And that angered him more than anything.
“Who sent this?”
His voice was cold.
Li Xinyue whispered:
“I don’t know.”
Gu Zhen stood up.
“Then we will find out.”
That night, the Gu family began a full investigation.
Not only into the attacks.
Not only into the rumors.
But into the mystery surrounding Li Xinyue’s death.
And somewhere in the darkness…
Someone smiled.
Because they knew something Gu Zhen didn’t.
The truth about Li Xinyue’s second life.
