clothes. She refused.
“You promised me a life of luxury!” she
screamed. “I quit my job and left my
boyfriend for you. Now you’re broke and want
me to sell my things? No way!”
Chen Yun, always gentle with Han Xiaoxiao,
snapped.
“Then starve! I’m in this mess because of
you! If you hadn’t wanted that bracelet, I
L
wouldn’t have tried to steal it! It broke, and I
had to use the company to cover the cost! All my years of work were wasted! And if it
weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have broken up
with Su Qianqian! I could have been a Su
heiress‘ husband!”
They started shouting at each other in the
street. I found it laughable. I remembered his
declarations of love for Han Xiaoxiao when
he’d abandoned me; how things had changed.
I chuckled.
But at that moment, Chen Yun looked up and
saw me. His eyes lit up. He tried to call out to
me, but Han Xiaoxiao slapped him.
“Su Qianqian, you’re going to pay for this!”
she shrieked.
I found her behavior deranged. I sped away,
leaving them behind.
Two months later, my daughter was born. Lu
Ming had meticulously arranged everything at
the maternity center, preparing a layette,
baby bottles, clothes, and countless other
things. He was more nervous than I was
during labor, holding my hand the entire time.
“Su Qianqian, I’ll be right here with you.”
His presence was incredibly comforting. Our
daughter was born healthy. She looked
exactly like me, without any resemblance to
Chen Yun. Perhaps she had no affection for
her biological father.
After a month at the maternity center, Lu
Ming was driving me home when Han
Xiaoxiao appeared, knife in hand, lunging at
the baby.
“Die, Su Qianqian! I’ll kill this little bastard
first, then you!”
I was still weak from childbirth and holding
the baby. I felt helpless. As I instinctively
shielded the baby, Chen Yun pushed me out
of the way.
VI MIV wuy.
“Watch out!”
Han Xiaoxiao’s knife plunged into his
abdomen. After ten hours of surgery, he was
finally stable. The first thing he asked for was
to see me and the baby. I hesitated, but I
went with the baby.
Chen Yun was pale, almost translucent. His
eyes lit up when he saw me, and he smiled
when he saw the baby.
