Chapter 726: Old Friends Reunite

My understanding and respect for each other.

I don’t know what to do about the matter between you and Wenxue now, but I
do know that Wenxue wouldn’t have proposed to break off the engagement without
reason. Something must have happened between you two that led her to make this
decision. I don’t want to hear you making excuses, saying you’re busy with
work and neglecting her. That’s just your one-sided excuse. Don’t you know
that Wenxue gave up that project in America, which she valued even more, to
marry you and returned to China to be by your side? Wenxue knows better than
anyone what you’re so busy with.

Wenxue never asked you to accompany her all the time. She’s not some
ignorant girl who needs a husband by her side at all times. But she does need
a husband who truly loves her, cares for her, and whom she can trust. Ask
yourself, have you done that?

Therefore, I’ve already arranged for my assistant to handle this matter this
time. Regardless of what happens, the wedding will go on as scheduled. As for
who the bride will be, whether it’s Wenxue or someone else, I can’t be sure.
But I hope you can think clearly about who you actually want to marry.”

With that, Lin Xue hung up the phone.

[Wenxue]

I put my phone aside and looked out the window, feeling a bit dazed for a
moment. Every word Lin Xue said echoed in my ears. Yes, who am I supposed to
be a wife to, whose bride am I going to be? I haven’t even figured that out,
and I’m about to walk into the marriage hall with Ji Chen. But who knew this
moment would come so quickly, and so suddenly? Before the wedding, the
relationship between Ji Chen and me had already completely broken down.

I reached out and touched my lower abdomen. I’m already a mother; I’m no
longer a girl who can be willful. I have to consider the child in my belly.
He’s the child of Ji Chen and me, but I don’t know how to face this child.

If I keep him, how will he face his father, a father who doesn’t love his
mother, a husband who betrayed his mother? If I abort him, how can I explain
to him that it was his father’s mistake that caused him to lose the chance to
be with his mother?

I’m so conflicted. I don’t know what to do, let alone how to choose. My mind
is in a mess, and Lin Xue’s words keep echoing in my ears.

Perhaps Lin Xue is right. I should think carefully about who I want to marry,
and whose bride I want to be!

I took out my phone and sent Lin Xue a text message: “Sister Lin Xue, I’m
sorry for making you worry.”

Soon, Sister Lin Xue replied: “It’s okay, Wenxue. You’re a good girl, and you
deserve a better man to love you.”
Looking at Sister Lin Xue’s words, tears streamed down my face uncontrollably.

Sister Lin Xue understood Ji Chen. She knew that Ji Chen was a man with strong
ambitions, someone who could sacrifice anything for his work, including love
and family. It was precisely because of this that he did things that hurt
Wenxue.

Wenxue also knew Ji Chen’s personality. But in the face of love, Wenxue chose
to be tolerant, to wait, and to silently sacrifice. Yet, her sacrifices did
not receive a response from Ji Chen. Instead, she faced Ji Chen’s indifference
and unfair treatment.

She was truly tired and truly hurt. She really couldn’t hold on anymore. This
relationship, this marriage, she had poured all her passion into it, but Ji Chen
could never give her the warmth and security she wanted.

She wanted to let go, but she couldn’t bear to. After all, Ji Chen was the man
she had loved for so long, the man she wanted to spend her life with.

She also knew that Ji Chen had her in his heart. It was just that his love
was buried deep in his heart, and he didn’t have the courage to express it.

She really didn’t know what to do. If she really filed for divorce, would Ji
Chen regret it? Would he treat her well again?

She knew she couldn’t hold onto such fantasies. She knew Ji Chen’s personality
better than anyone. He was a proud and arrogant man, and he would never change
for her.

The only thing she could do now was to protect herself well, to protect the
child in her belly. As for the future of her and Ji Chen, she would leave it
to fate.

I wiped away my tears, took a deep breath, and told myself, Wenxue, you must
pull yourself together!
I stood up, walked to the cloakroom, changed my clothes, and decided to go out
for a walk to clear my head.

I didn’t want to stay in this room filled with memories and heartache.
Everything here was related to Ji Chen, making it hard for me to breathe.
I changed my clothes, grabbed my bag, and left the apartment.
Along the way, I was contemplating where I should go.
I walked aimlessly on the street, watching the crowds coming and going, watching
those happy couples holding hands, my eyes filled with envy and longing.

I once thought Ji Chen and I would become one of them. But reality is always
so cruel, pulling me back from my dream into reality.

I don’t know how long I walked until my legs felt weak and my stomach started
aching intermittently. Only then did I stop.
I clutched my stomach, squatted on the ground, cold sweat breaking out on my
forehead. I knew it might be because my emotions had fluctuated too much,
causing discomfort to the baby.
I took out my phone, wanting to call Lin Xue, but in the end, I put my phone
down. I didn’t want her to worry, nor did I want anyone to know about my current
situation.

I took out my phone and called Ji Chen, but the phone rang for a long time
without anyone answering. I guessed he must be busy with work again.
My tears once again flowed uncontrollably. I felt so helpless and pitiful.

How I wished Ji Chen could be by my side, giving me a hug, giving me enough
sense of security.
But this was just my fantasy!
I sat on the ground, letting my tears flow freely.

Pedestrians passing by looked at me with strange eyes. I knew they must be
wondering, “Who is this woman? Why is she sitting alone on the street crying?”
I didn’t care about their gazes. I only cared if the baby in my belly was safe.

I endured the pain and tried to stand up, but my legs felt numb, and I couldn’t
move at all.
Just as I was despairing, a black sedan stopped beside me. The window slowly
rolled down, revealing Ou Jin’s handsome face.
“Wenxue? Why are you here alone? What happened?” Ou Jin asked, seeing me squatting
on the ground, looking pale and anxious.
I looked at Ou Jin, and my tears welled up again. I reached out, wanting to
hug him, but in the end, I only extended my hand and grabbed the hem of his
clothes.
“Ou Jin, my stomach hurts so much. Am I going to lose my baby?” I said with a
sob.

Ou Jin’s expression changed. He immediately opened the car door, lifted me into
the car, and quickly started driving.

In the car, Ou Jin soothed me softly as he drove: “Wenxue, don’t be afraid.
Everything will be fine. The baby will be fine. I’ll take you to the hospital.”
I leaned on his shoulder, my tears soaking his shirt. I had never felt so
fragile and helpless.
Soon, we arrived at the hospital.
Ou Jin carried me all the way to the emergency room. Seeing my condition, the
doctor immediately arranged for an examination.
I lay on the hospital bed, looking at Ou Jin’s anxious face, feeling an unspeakable
emotion.

Ou Jin, he could always appear by my side at the first moment, always help me
in my time of crisis. He was truly a good person.
The examination results came out quickly. The doctor told me that I only had
uterine contractions due to excessive emotional fluctuations and that there was
no major issue. As long as I rested in bed for a few days and paid attention to
rest, I would be fine.
Hearing the doctor’s words, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Ou Jin also breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the doctor’s words.
He sat by my side, held my hand tightly, and said softly, “Wenxue, you scared
me to death. How could you just wander outside alone? What would you do if
something happened?”
I looked at him, and tears welled up again.

“Ou Jin, I’m sorry for making you worry. I… I was just in a bad mood and
wanted to go out for a walk,” I said with a sob.

Ou Jin gently wiped away the tears from the corners of my eyes and said softly,
“Wenxue, I know you’re in a bad mood right now, but you can’t risk your body and
the baby’s health! The baby in your belly is the crystallization of you and Ji Chen.
You must protect him.”
I nodded. Ou Jin was right. The child was innocent. I shouldn’t joke with his
life.

“Ou Jin, thank you. Thank you for saving me and my child,” I said sincerely.
Ou Jin smiled and said, “Wenxue, do we need to say thank you between us? It’s
good that you’re okay. By the way, where is Ji Chen? I called him, but why
didn’t he answer?”

Hearing Ou Jin mention Ji Chen, my heart ached.
“He… he might be busy,” I said, forcing a smile.
Ou Jin looked at me, his eyes filled with heartache.

“Wenxue, don’t try to fool yourself anymore. Ji Chen doesn’t love you at all. If
he loved you, he wouldn’t let you suffer alone outside,” Ou Jin said directly.
Hearing Ou Jin’s words, my heart ached even more.
Yes, Ji Chen didn’t love me at all. Otherwise, how could he not be by my side when
I needed him the most?
“Ou Jin, I know, but I don’t know what to do,” I said painfully.
Ou Jin hugged me tightly and said gently, “Wenxue, don’t be afraid. I’m here.
I’ll help you get out of this predicament.”
Leaning in his arms, I felt a warmth and a sense of security I had never
experienced before.

Ou Jin, how wonderful it would be if I always had you by my side.
[Gu Yan]
I sat on a chair outside the hospital room, listening to the conversation
inside, my heart filled with jealousy and unwillingness.

I didn’t expect Ou Jin to appear here, nor did I expect him to expose my lies
without hesitation, once again affecting my plan.
I clenched my fists tightly, my fingernails digging deep into my flesh, but I
felt no pain at all. The pain in my heart far exceeded the physical pain.

Wenxue, you slut! How dare you show affection with Ou Jin in front of me behind Ji
Chen’s back? I will not let you go!
I stood up, wanting to rush in and separate them, but in the end, I held back.
I couldn’t act rashly. I had to calm down. If I rushed in now, it would only make my
situation more awkward and passive.

I took a deep breath, trying to calm my angry emotions, and told myself, Gu Yan,
you must be patient. You have to wait for Wenxue to file for divorce before you
have a chance.
I took out my phone and sent Ji Chen a text message: “Ji Chen, Wenxue has a
stomach ache and is in the hospital now. Come here quickly to see her.”

I put down my phone and waited quietly. I believed Ji Chen would come. After all,
Wenxue was his wife. He couldn’t be so heartless.
Not long after I sent the text message, Ji Chen’s phone call came.
“Gu Yan, you said Wenxue is in the hospital? What’s wrong with her? Which
hospital?” Ji Chen’s anxious voice came from the other end of the phone.
Hearing Ji Chen’s anxious voice, I was secretly pleased. As expected, Ji Chen still
cared about Wenxue.
“Ji Chen, Wenxue has a stomach ache. I’m with her at the hospital. Where are
you? I’ll send you the address,” I said gently.
“Okay, send me the address. I’ll be right there,” Ji Chen said, and hung up the
phone.
I looked at the phone screen, a cold smile appearing at the corner of my mouth.
Wenxue, let’s see if you can escape my grasp this time!
I sent the hospital address to Ji Chen, then walked into the ward.
Ou Jin frowned slightly when he saw me enter, but in the end, he didn’t say
anything.

“Wenxue, are you feeling any better?” I walked to the bedside and asked with
concern.
Wenxue’s eyes flashed with surprise when she saw me, but she quickly regained her
composure.
“Gu Yan? Why are you here?” Wenxue asked.
“I called you, but you didn’t answer. I was very worried about you, so I came to
see you,” I said gently.
Hearing my words, Wenxue’s eyes flashed with self-mockery. *Called me? When did you
ever call me? You obviously did this on purpose, to gloat at my misfortune, didn’t
you!*
Ou Jin felt a pang of heartache seeing Wenxue’s expression. He knew what Wenxue
was thinking, but he couldn’t expose Gu Yan’s lie. He knew what a good actress Gu
Yan was.

“Wenxue, don’t overthink it. Gu Yan is concerned about you, which is why she came
to see you. Besides, how would she know you were in the hospital?” Ou Jin said.
Hearing Ou Jin’s words, my heart tightened. This Ou Jin is such a busybody!
“Ou Jin, I just sent Wenxue a WeChat message asking where she was. She said she
was in the hospital, so I came to see her. I’m straightforward, and my words might
be a bit inappropriate. Please don’t misunderstand,” I quickly explained.
Hearing my explanation, Wenxue sneered inwardly. *Talking sounds nice, but you’re
clearly here to laugh at me!*

“Gu Yan, thank you for your concern. I’m fine now. You should go back,” Wenxue
said coldly.
Hearing Wenxue’s words, I felt unwilling. I had come all this way, how could I
leave just like that!

“Wenxue, don’t be angry. That’s not what I meant. I genuinely care about you,” I
said, feigning grievance.
Just then, the ward door opened, and Ji Chen walked in.
“Wenxue!” Ji Chen ran over anxiously when he saw Wenxue lying on the hospital bed,
her face pale.
Wenxue’s eyes flashed with complexity when she saw Ji Chen. She didn’t know
if Ji Chen had come because he was worried about her or because of the baby.

“Ji Chen, you’re here,” Wenxue said faintly.
Ji Chen held Wenxue’s hand and said gently, “Wenxue, you scared me to death. Why
did your stomach suddenly hurt? What did the doctor say?”

“The doctor said it’s nothing, just severe emotional fluctuations that caused
uterine contractions. I’ll be fine with a few days of bed rest,” Wenxue said.
Ji Chen breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Ou Jin.

“Ou Jin, thank you for taking Wenxue to the hospital,” Ji Chen said sincerely.
Ou Jin said calmly, “Ji Chen, you don’t have to thank me. I just did what I should
have done.”
Hearing Ou Jin’s words, I felt uncomfortable. Ou Jin was clearly showing off to me,
and to Ji Chen!

“Ou Jin, what do you mean by that? Do you think if it weren’t for you, Wenxue would
have been in trouble?” I said angrily.
Ou Jin looked at me, his eyes filled with disdain.

“Gu Yan, I didn’t mean that. I just think if Ji Chen paid a little more attention to
Wenxue, she wouldn’t have gotten into trouble,” Ou Jin said without hesitation.
Hearing Ou Jin’s words, I was so angry that I was trembling all over. This Ou Jin
is truly detestable!
Ji Chen felt annoyed seeing Gu Yan and Ou Jin’s confrontational demeanor.
One was the woman he had loved for ten years, and the other was his best friend.
He was caught in the middle, finding it difficult to choose.

“Ou Jin, Gu Yan, you both say less. Wenxue needs to rest now. You should both leave,” Ji
Chen said sternly.
Ou Jin glanced at me, then looked at Wenxue.

“Wenxue, rest well. I’ll leave first. If you need anything, call me anytime,” Ou Jin
said.
Wenxue nodded and said, “Ou Jin, thank you.”

Ou Jin smiled and walked out of the ward. He stopped as he passed by me.
“Gu Yan, I advise you to be kind and don’t do anything to hurt Wenxue anymore, or I
won’t let you off!” Ou Jin said, then left.
I watched Ou Jin’s retreating back, my eyes filled with resentment. Ou Jin, you just
wait. I won’t let you off easily!
I looked at Ji Chen and said pitifully, “Ji Chen, did you hear that? Ou Jin is
threatening me!”
Ji Chen sighed and said, “Gu Yan, don’t overthink it. Ou Jin is worried about
Wenxue, which is why he said that.”
“Ji Chen, do you have me in your heart? Why are you always speaking up for Wenxue?” I
said with grievance.
Ji Chen looked at me, his eyes filled with helplessness.

“Gu Yan, Wenxue is pregnant. Don’t argue with her,” Ji Chen said.
Hearing Ji Chen’s words, I felt wronged. Wenxue is pregnant, so am I not a woman?

“Ji Chen, you’ve changed. You weren’t like this before!” I said, crying.
Ji Chen looked at my tears, and his heart softened.

“Gu Yan, don’t cry. It was my fault. I shouldn’t have been harsh with you. You should
go back first. I’ll take care of Wenxue here.” Ji Chen said.
Hearing Ji Chen’s words, I felt unwilling. This Wenxue slut actually made Ji Chen stay to
take care of her!
“Ji Chen, I’m not leaving. I want to stay with you,” I said.
Ji Chen frowned and said, “Gu Yan, your staying here will only make it more awkward
for me and Wenxue. You should go back first. I promise you, I’ll treat you to a meal
after Wenxue is discharged.”
Hearing Ji Chen’s words, I felt a surge of happiness. Is Ji Chen compromising with
me?

“Ji Chen, you said it. No take-backs!” I said.
“When have I ever lied to you?” Ji Chen said.

I smiled, then looked at Wenxue, my eyes filled with provocation. Wenxue, did you
see that? Ji Chen still loves me!

“Wenxue, rest well. I’m leaving now. We’ll get together again when you have time,” I
said.
Wenxue didn’t say anything, just nodded faintly.
I walked out of the ward, the triumphant smile on my face instantly disappearing,
replaced by a look of malice.

Wenxue, don’t think that just because you’re pregnant, you can capture Ji Chen’s
heart. I won’t let you succeed!
I took out my phone and sent Lin Xue a text message: “Sister Lin Xue, Wenxue is in
the hospital. Come quickly to see her.”
After sending the message, I left the hospital. I didn’t want to see Wenxue’s annoying
face anymore.
Lin Xue received my text message and felt a sense of confusion. Why was Wenxue in
the hospital?

She called Ji Chen, but he hung up.
Lin Xue’s unease grew, and she immediately rushed to the hospital.
Lin Xue arrived at the hospital and went straight to Wenxue’s ward.
In the ward, Ji Chen was peeling an apple for Wenxue.
Seeing the scene before her, Lin Xue didn’t know how she felt.
She knew Ji Chen cared about Wenxue, but she also knew that Ji Chen’s love for
Wenxue wasn’t an all-consuming love, but rather a sense of responsibility, a sense
of guilt.

“Wenxue, how are you? Why are you suddenly in the hospital?” Lin Xue asked with
concern.
Seeing Lin Xue, Wenxue’s tears flowed uncontrollably.

“Sister Lin Xue, I’m fine. The baby is just a bit fussy,” Wenxue said with a sob.
Lin Xue walked to the bedside and held Wenxue’s hand tightly.

“Silly girl, don’t scare me. What happened?” Lin Xue asked.
Wenxue shook her head and said, “Sister Lin Xue, I’m really fine. Don’t worry.”
Lin Xue looked at Ji Chen, her eyes filled with blame.

“Ji Chen, come out. I have something to say to you,” Lin Xue said coldly.
Ji Chen put down the apple in his hand and followed Lin Xue out of the ward.
They stopped in the corridor outside the ward.

“Ji Chen, tell me honestly, is the baby in Wenxue’s belly yours or not?” Lin Xue
asked.
Hearing Lin Xue’s question, Ji Chen was startled.

“Sister Lin Xue, what do you mean? The baby in Wenxue’s belly is of course mine!” Ji
Chen said.

“Yours? Yours? Then why did Wenxue call you when she had a stomach ache, and you
didn’t answer? Why was Wenxue wandering outside alone when she had a stomach ache, and
nobody knew?” Lin Xue asked angrily.
Hearing Lin Xue’s words, Ji Chen felt a pang of guilt. He knew Lin Xue was
reproaching him, reproaching him for neglecting Wenxue.

“Sister Lin Xue, I’m sorry. It’s my fault. I’ve neglected Wenxue,” Ji Chen
apologized.

“Neglecting? Ji Chen, you don’t love Wenxue anymore, do you?” Lin Xue asked directly.
Ji Chen looked at Lin Xue, unsure how to answer.
Did he love Wenxue? Of course he loved Wenxue. Wenxue was the woman he had loved
for ten years, the woman he wanted to spend his life with.

But the way he loved Wenxue was so awkward, so disheartening.

“Sister Lin Xue, I love Wenxue. I just don’t know how to express my love,” Ji Chen
said.

“Don’t know how to express it? Ji Chen, ask yourself, if the baby in Wenxue’s belly wasn’t
yours, would you still care about Wenxue like this?” Lin Xue asked.
Hearing Lin Xue’s words, Ji Chen’s heart ached.
Yes, if the baby in Wenxue’s belly wasn’t his, would he still care about Wenxue like
this?

He didn’t know. He really didn’t know. He only knew that Wenxue was his wife, and
the child was his flesh and blood. He had to be responsible for Wenxue, and
responsible for the child.
“Sister Lin Xue, stop talking. I know what to do,” Ji Chen said sternly.
Lin Xue looked at Ji Chen, her eyes filled with disappointment.

“Ji Chen, I hope you can think clearly about who you love and who you want to marry.
Don’t regret it when it’s too late!” Lin Xue said, then walked back into the ward.
Ji Chen stood in the corridor, looking at Wenxue and Lin Xue in the ward, feeling
unspeakable emotion.

He knew Lin Xue meant well for him and for Wenxue, but he couldn’t accept Lin
Xue’s words. He couldn’t accept that he loved Wenxue because of the child.
He loved Wenxue, because he loved Wenxue, the woman he had loved for ten years!

He took out his phone and sent Gu Yan a text message: “Gu Yan, I’m sorry, I can’t
have dinner with you. Wenxue needs me here.”
After sending the message, he walked back into the ward.
Seeing Ji Chen enter, Lin Xue’s eyes were filled with disdain.

“Ji Chen, what are you doing here? Didn’t you have work to do?” Lin Xue said coldly.
Ji Chen walked to the bedside, looked at Wenxue, and said softly, “Wenxue, I’m
sorry. I won’t neglect you anymore. I’ll take good care of you, and I’ll take good
care of our child.”
Wenxue looked at Ji Chen, her eyes filled with complexity. She didn’t know if Ji
Chen was speaking the truth or just trying to appease her.

“Ji Chen, you don’t have to do this. I’m really fine,” Wenxue said.

“Wenxue, I know you say you’re fine, but you must be feeling very upset inside. I’m
sorry. I apologize,” Ji Chen said.
Wenxue looked at Ji Chen, her eyes filled with complexity. Was Ji Chen’s apology
sincere?

“Ji Chen, I don’t need your apology. I just hope you can think clearly about who you
love!” Wenxue said.
“Wenxue, I love you. The person I love is you!” Ji Chen said.
Hearing Ji Chen’s words, tears streamed down Wenxue’s face again.

“Ji Chen, if you loved me, you wouldn’t have done things that hurt me. You wouldn’t
have let me suffer alone outside!” Wenxue cried.
Ji Chen hugged Wenxue tightly and said gently, “Wenxue, I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. I
won’t make this mistake again!”
Wenxue cried even harder in his arms.

An hour later, Wenxue finally stopped crying.
Ji Chen held her, saying nothing, just quietly listening to her cry.
I lifted my head from his embrace, my eyes red and swollen as I looked at him.

“Ji Chen, are you treating me so well only because of the baby?” I asked.
Ji Chen’s heart ached at my words.

“Wenxue, what nonsense are you talking about? I love you, and it has nothing to do with
the baby!” Ji Chen said.

“Has nothing to do with it? Ji Chen, don’t lie to me. If it weren’t for the baby, you
would have divorced me long ago!” I said.
Ji Chen felt even more guilty at my words.

“Wenxue, I’m sorry. I was wrong before. I neglected your feelings, but I know I was
wrong now. Please give me a chance to make it up to you, okay?” Ji Chen said.
I looked at Ji Chen, my eyes filled with hesitation. Should I believe Ji Chen?
Can I still believe Ji Chen?

“Ji Chen, I don’t know. I really don’t know,” I said painfully.
“Wenxue, I will prove my love for you with my actions. Please believe me!” Ji Chen said.
I nodded, my heart filled with anticipation. I hoped Ji Chen could really change and love
me again.

“Wenxue, are you hungry? I’ll go buy you some porridge,” Ji Chen asked.
I shook my head and said, “Ji Chen, I’m not hungry.”

“Wenxue, you haven’t eaten anything all day. This is not good for the baby. I’ll go buy you
some porridge,” Ji Chen said.
After saying that, Ji Chen left the ward.
I watched Ji Chen’s retreating back, my heart feeling warm. Is Ji Chen really
concerned about me?

Just then, Ou Jin walked in.
“Wenxue, are you alright?” Ou Jin asked with concern when he saw me awake.
I smiled and said, “Ou Jin, I’m fine. Thank you.”
“Wenxue, you don’t need to thank me. This is what I should do. By the way, where is Ji
Chen? Why did he leave?” Ou Jin asked.
“He went to buy me porridge,” I said.
Ou Jin’s face fell when he heard my words.

“Wenxue, don’t believe Ji Chen anymore. He’s only being nice to you because of the
baby!” Ou Jin said.
Hearing Ou Jin’s words, my heart ached. Why did Ou Jin always have to expose Ji
Chen’s lies?

“Ou Jin, stop talking. I believe Ji Chen,” I said.
Ou Jin looked at me, his eyes filled with heartache. He knew Wenxue was deceiving
herself.

“Wenxue, you’re such a fool. Why are you always making excuses for Ji Chen? He doesn’t
love you at all!” Ou Jin said.

“Ou Jin, stop talking!” I said angrily.
Ou Jin sighed and said, “Wenxue, I just don’t want you to get hurt.”

“Ou Jin, I know you mean well for me, but I really hope you can give me some time to
deal with the matter between Ji Chen and me myself, okay?” I said.
Ou Jin nodded and said, “Wenxue, I respect your decision. But remember, no matter
what happens, I will always be by your side!”
I looked at Ou Jin, my heart filled with gratitude. Ou Jin, thank you. Thank you for
always silently guarding me by my side.

“Ou Jin, thank you,” I said.
Ou Jin smiled and said, “Wenxue, don’t say thank you to me anymore.”
Just then, Ji Chen walked in. Seeing Ou Jin in my ward, his face fell.

“Ou Jin, why are you here? Didn’t you leave?” Ji Chen asked displeasedly.
Ou Jin smiled and said, “Ji Chen, I just came to see Wenxue. You don’t need to be so
nervous.”
Ji Chen placed the porridge in his hand on the table, then walked to the bedside, looked
at me, and said softly, “Wenxue, drink the porridge quickly.”
I nodded and picked up the porridge.
Ou Jin looked at Ji Chen’s gentle demeanor, feeling uncomfortable. This Ji Chen is such
an actor!

“Ji Chen, you don’t need to put on an act here. Wenxue has already seen through your
true colors!” Ou Jin said.
Ji Chen’s face fell when he heard Ou Jin’s words.

“Ou Jin, don’t go too far!” Ji Chen said angrily.
“Am I going too far? You’re the one who’s gone too far!” Ou Jin said.
Seeing the two of them about to start arguing again, I felt annoyed.

“Ji Chen, Ou Jin, stop arguing. I need quiet right now!” I said.
Hearing my words, Ji Chen and Ou Jin both shut their mouths.
I looked at the two of them, my heart filled with helplessness. Why did these two men always
have to argue over me?
After finishing the porridge, I lay down on the bed.
Ji Chen sat by my bedside, holding my hand tightly. Ou Jin sat
She sat on the chair, looking at me quietly.

I looked at the two of them, with an indescribable feeling in my heart. These two men: one was the man I loved, and the other was the man who had always silently guarded me. How should I choose?

I closed my eyes, my mind in chaos.

[Lin Xue]

I walked out of the hospital, my heart filled with worry. Ji Chen and Ou Jin, both men loved Wen Xue. Who would Wen Xue ultimately choose?

I took out my mobile phone and called Gu Yan.
“Gu Yan, where are you?” I asked.

Gu Yan was startled when she heard my voice. Why was Sister Lin Xue calling her so suddenly?

“Sister Lin Xue, I’m at home, what’s wrong?” Gu Yan asked.
“Gu Yan, I want to see you. There are some things I want to talk to you about,” I said.

Gu Yan’s heart leaped with joy. Sister Lin Xue wanted to talk to her, could there be a turning point in the matter between Ji Chen and Wen Xue?
“Sister Lin Xue, where are you? I’ll come find you right away,” Gu Yan said.
I told Gu Yan the meeting location and then hung up the phone.

Half an hour later, Gu Yan arrived at the agreed location.
Seeing Gu Yan, I had an indescribable feeling in my heart. Gu Yan, a woman who deeply lovedJi Chen and would do anything for him, was truly pitiful, but also detestable.

“Sister Lin Xue, what did you want to see me about?” Gu Yan asked.
I looked at Gu Yan, my eyes filled with pity.

“Gu Yan, I want to ask you, do you really love Ji Chen?” I asked.
Gu Yan’s heart tightened upon hearing my words.

“Sister Lin Xue, of course I love Ji Chen. I’ve loved him for ten years!” Gu Yan said.

“Love him? Gu Yan, your love for Ji Chen is possessive, selfish, and a kind of pathological love!” I said.
Gu Yan’s expression changed upon hearing my words.

“Sister Lin Xue, what do you mean by that? Did I do something wrong?” Gu Yan asked.

“Gu Yan, you didn’t do anything wrong. You were only wrong to interfere in Ji Chen and Wen Xue’s marriage. You shouldn’t have hurt Wen Xue!” I said.

Gu Yan felt a surge of grievance upon hearing my words. She hadn’t interfered in Ji Chen and Wen Xue’s marriage; it was Ji Chen who didn’t love Wen Xue, and it was Wen Xue who first gave up on Ji Chen!

“Sister Lin Xue, don’t wrongly accuse me. I didn’t interfere in their marriage. It was Ji Chen who didn’t love Wen Xue, and it was Wen Xue who first proposed divorce!” Gu Yan said.

“Wen Xue proposed divorce first? Gu Yan, don’t tell me nothing happened between you and Ji Chen!” I said.

Gu Yan’s face turned pale. She knew Sister Lin Xue was trying to trick her, but she couldn’t admit it. If she admitted it, it would solidify her status as a homewrecker.

“Sister Lin Xue, don’t speak nonsense. Ji Chen and I are innocent. We’re just friends!” Gu Yan said.

“Friends? Gu Yan, do you think I’ll believe your nonsense? If you were just friends, would you have done so many things to hurt Wen Xue for him?” I said angrily.

Gu Yan couldn’t stop her tears from flowing upon hearing my words.
“Sister Lin Xue, I didn’t hurt Wen Xue. I just love Ji Chen, and I’m not wrong!” Gu Yan cried.

“Love him? Gu Yan, your love for Ji Chen will only make him hate you more and stay further away from you!” I said.

Gu Yan’s heart ached upon hearing my words. She knew Sister Lin Xue was right. Her love for Ji Chen had already made him feel disgusted.

“Sister Lin Xue, what exactly do you want to say?” Gu Yan asked.
“Gu Yan, I want you to let go, to let Ji Chen go, and to let yourself go!” I said.

Gu Yan felt unwilling upon hearing my words.
“Let go? Sister Lin Xue, I’ve loved Ji Chen for ten years. How can you ask me to let go?” Gu Yan said.

“Gu Yan, you’ve loved him for ten years, but he doesn’t love you. He loves Wen Xue!” I said.

Gu Yan’s heart ached upon hearing my words.
“Sister Lin Xue, Wen Xue’s child is not Ji Chen’s. Ji Chen won’t love her!” Gu Yan suddenly said.

I was startled by Gu Yan’s words.
“Gu Yan, what nonsense are you talking about? Of course, Wen Xue’s child is Ji Chen’s!” I said.

“No! Sister Lin Xue, Wen Xue’s child is not Ji Chen’s at all. It’s his and Ou Jin’s!” Gu Yan exclaimed loudly.
My expression changed upon hearing Gu Yan’s words.

“Gu Yan, do you have any evidence to prove that Wen Xue’s child is not Ji Chen’s?” I asked.

Gu Yan smiled and said, “Sister Lin Xue, don’t you remember Ou Jin stayed by her side the entire time Wen Xue was abroad before?”

My heart sank upon hearing Gu Yan’s words. Was Gu Yan telling the truth? Was Wen Xue’s child really not Ji Chen’s?

“Gu Yan, don’t speak nonsense. Wen Xue is not that kind of woman!” I said.
“Sister Lin Xue, believe me, Wen Xue’s child is really not Ji Chen’s. If you don’t believe me, you can go to the hospital and check!” Gu Yan said.

I looked at Gu Yan, my eyes filled with complexity. I didn’t know whether to believe Gu Yan’s words, but if Gu Yan was telling the truth, then the marriage between Wen Xue and Ji Chen would truly be at its end.

I said calmly, “Gu Yan, you should go back first. I need some time to consider.”

Gu Yan nodded and said, “Sister Lin Xue, I know what you’re thinking, but you must believe me. I’m telling the truth!”
Gu Yan left. I sat on the chair, with an indescribable feeling in my heart.

Is Wen Xue’s child really not Ji Chen’s?
If not, then the feelings between Wen Xue and Ji Chen would truly be beyond recovery.

I took out my mobile phone and called Ou Jin.
“Ou Jin, is Wen Xue’s child truly Ji Chen’s?” I asked.

Ou Jin was startled by my question.
“Sister Lin Xue, why are you asking me this question?” Ou Jin asked.
“Ou Jin, tell me, did anything happen between you and Wen Xue?” I asked.

Ou Jin fell silent. He didn’t know how to answer Lin Xue’s question.
“Ou Jin, tell me the truth. I won’t blame you,” I said.

Ou Jin sighed and said, “Sister Lin Xue, Wen Xue and I are innocent. Nothing happened between us. Of course, Wen Xue’s child is Ji Chen’s.”

I breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Ou Jin’s words.
“Ou Jin, I believe you, but Gu Yan said she has evidence to prove that Wen Xue’s child is not Ji Chen’s and asked you to check at the hospital.” I said.

Ou Jin’s heart tightened upon hearing my words.
“Sister Lin Xue, Gu Yan is trying to sow discord. Don’t believe her words!” Ou Jin said.

“Ou Jin, I won’t believe Gu Yan’s words, but for safety, I hope you can stop Gu Yan and prevent her from speaking nonsense at the hospital!” I said.

Ou Jin nodded and said, “Sister Lin Xue, don’t worry, I will stop Gu Yan!”
I hung up the phone, my heart filled with worry. Gu Yan, that woman, is truly terrifying!

I took out my mobile phone and sent Wen Xue a text message: “Wen Xue, don’t worry, I will handle the matters between you and Ji Chen.”
After sending the message, I drove back to the company. I had to find a way to stop Gu Yan and prevent her from destroying Wen Xue and Ji Chen’s marriage.

[Gu Yan]

As I walked out of the coffee shop, the smug smile on my face instantly disappeared, replaced by a look of ferocious venom.

Lin Xue, don’t think you can change my mind by saying a few words. I won’t let you get your way!
Wen Xue, you b*tch, how dare you get pregnant with Ou Jin’s child and marry Ji Chen? I won’t let you off!

I took out my mobile phone and called the media.
“Hello? Is this XX Daily? I want to break a big story!” I said.

A man’s voice came from the other end of the phone: “Miss, what big story do you want to break?”

“Wen Xue’s child is not Ji Chen’s at all. It’s with another man!” I said.

“What? Miss, are you telling the truth? Do you have any evidence?” the man asked in surprise.

“Of course, I have evidence. If you don’t believe me, you can investigate. This will definitely be tomorrow’s front-page headline news!” I said.

The man’s heart stirred upon hearing my words. If this news was true, their newspaper would strike it rich!

“Miss, may I ask who you are? Are you willing to reveal your identity?” the man asked.

“Who I am is not important. What’s important is that I’m providing you with a big story. You just need to investigate and report it!” I said.
I hung up the phone, feeling smug. Wen Xue, let’s see if you can escape this time!

I drove to the hospital. I wanted to see how long this b*tch Wen Xue could keep up her act!

I walked into Wen Xue’s hospital room and saw Ji Chen sitting by the bed, feeding Wen Xue. My heart burned with jealousy.

Wen Xue, you b*tch, how dare you make Ji Chen do so many things for you!

“Wen Xue, are you alright?” I asked, pretending to be concerned.
Upon seeing me, a flicker of disgust flashed in Wen Xue’s eyes.
“Gu Yan, what are you doing here?” Wen Xue asked coldly.

“Wen Xue, I heard you were sick, so I came to see you. Are you feeling better?” I asked, pretending to be concerned.
“I’m fine, you can go back,” Wen Xue said.
“Wen Xue, don’t be angry. I didn’t mean it that way. I’m sincerely concerned about you,” I said.

Ji Chen’s heart grew restless seeing the tense atmosphere between me and Wen Xue. One was the woman he had loved for ten years, and the other was his current wife. He was caught in the middle, in a difficult position.

“Gu Yan, you should go back first. Wen Xue needs to rest now,” Ji Chen said in a deep voice.

“Ji Chen, I’m not leaving. I want to stay and accompany you,” I said.
“Gu Yan, don’t be difficult. If you stay here, it will only make Wen Xue and I more awkward,” Ji Chen said.

I felt a surge of grievance upon hearing Ji Chen’s words. He actually wanted me to leave for Wen Xue’s sake!

“Ji Chen, you’ve changed. You weren’t like this before!” I said, crying.
Ji Chen’s heart softened upon seeing my tears.

“Gu Yan, don’t cry. It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have yelled at you. You should go back first. I’ll take care of Wen Xue here.” Ji Chen said.

I felt overjoyed upon hearing Ji Chen’s words. Was Ji Chen compromising with me?

“Ji Chen, you said so yourself. Don’t go back on your word!” I said.
“When have I ever lied to you?” Ji Chen said.

I smiled, then looked at Wen Xue, my eyes filled with provocation. Wen Xue, did you see? Ji Chen still loves me!

Just then, the hospital room door opened, and Ou Jin walked in.
Seeing Ou Jin, I felt uncomfortable. This Ou Jin, he’s such a persistent fellow!

“Wen Xue, are you alright?” Ou Jin asked, his eyes filled with worry upon seeing Wen Xue.

“Ou Jin, I’m fine now. Thank you,” Wen Xue said.

“Ou Jin, why are you here? Didn’t you leave?” Ji Chen asked displeasedly.

“Ji Chen, I just came to see Wen Xue. You don’t need to be so nervous,” Ou Jin said.

Ji Chen’s anger flared upon seeing Ou Jin. This Ou Jin is truly hateful!

“Ou Jin, don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking. You’re not pitying Wen Xue; you want to take advantage of her vulnerability. You want to snatch my wife!” Ji Chen said angrily.

Ou Jin’s heart ached upon hearing Ji Chen’s words.
“Ji Chen, you’ve disappointed me greatly. I never thought of snatching your wife. I just pity Wen Xue and the suffering she’s endured for you!” Ou Jin said.

“Pity? Ou Jin, stop pretending. Do you think I don’t know you’ve been pursuing Wen Xue all along?” Ji Chen said.
Seeing that the two were about to argue again, I felt smug. Let them argue, the fiercer the argument, the better. This way, the feelings between Wen Xue and Ji Chen would truly come to an end!

“Ji Chen, Ou Jin, stop arguing. I need quiet now!” Wen Xue said.

Ji Chen and Ou Jin fell silent upon hearing Wen Xue’s words.
I looked at the two of them, my heart filled with triumph. Wen Xue, do you think they’ll listen to you just because you said a few words?

“Wen Xue, rest well. I’ll leave now. Let’s get together again when you’re free,” I said.

I walked out of the hospital room, the smug smile on my face instantly disappearing, replaced by a look of ferocious venom.

Wen Xue, don’t think you can keep Ji Chen’s heart by being pregnant. I won’t let you get your way!

I took out my mobile phone and called the media.
“Hello? Is this XX Daily? I want to break a big story!” I said.

A man’s voice came from the other end of the phone: “Miss, are you the lady who just broke the news about Miss Wen Xue’s pregnancy?”

“It’s me. I want to tell you that Wen Xue’s child is not Ji Chen’s at all. It’s with another man!” I said.
