As expected of a woman, even the slightest emotional fluctuation can throw her into disarray.

Seeing her waver, Fang Youming immediately seized the opportunity and spoke in an even more sorrowful tone.

"Yuelan, we are husband and wife, lovers, and also the parents of our child."

"For the next few decades, through thick and thin, through birth, aging, sickness and death, we will walk together. I trust you with all my heart and regard you as the most important person in my life."

"But what about you? You make me doubt myself time and time again, doubt this relationship, doubt whether I'm just putting on a one-man show."

"Don't make me feel like a joke, like a fool who's been kept in the dark."

As he spoke, his eyes suddenly reddened.

This scene made Liu Yuelan's heart clench.

She rushed over and hugged him tightly, her voice trembling.

"Youming, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry."

“I know I’ve gone too far lately. I didn’t communicate with you properly and made you bear so much alone, which hurt you… I was wrong.”

“But I really did put the medicine into Zhang Qin’s bucket of water. I didn’t lie.”

“I never ordered anyone to harm them, nor did I arrange any assassins. I don’t know how things turned out this way.”

"It shouldn't have been like this... It's all because of Shen Zhiyu, it's all his fault!"

Upon hearing this, Fang Youming's pupils suddenly contracted.

But Liu Yuelan seemed to realize she had let something slip and suddenly stopped.

He immediately pressed for more information.

What happened to Shen Zhiyu?

Liu Yuelan's mind was in complete chaos.

Reason is desperately screaming for change.

Don't speak!

Once you say it, everything is over!

But her emotions were pulling at her heart so hard that she couldn't remain silent.

He's your man!

You married him, shared a bed with him, yet lied to him. What kind of couple are you?

"Because...because of Shen Zhiyu..."

Her voice was weak and trembling.

Fang Youming seized the opportunity and pulled her into his arms.

"Yuelan, there shouldn't be any secrets between us."

He whispered in her ear.

"I love you, and you love me too, don't you?"

Liu Yuelan nodded.

Yes, I love you.

She said this very seriously.

Because she truly loved him.

It is precisely because of love that we dare not speak the truth.

She feared that if she spoke out, this hard-won peace would collapse instantly.

"Then tell me, what exactly did Shen Zhiyu do?"

Fang Youming's tone remained calm.

He stared at her, waiting for her answer.

"Shen Zhiyu...it seems he really has fallen for Su Qingzhi."

She finally spoke, her voice low and hoarse, tinged with a sob.

After struggling for a long time, she chose the safest path.

They only mentioned that Shen Zhiyu had fallen in love, but didn't mention his rebirth.

Fang Youming's eyes turned noticeably cold after hearing this.

It's a bit of a pity.

Turns out she wasn't completely stupid; she could still hide something.

He sneered inwardly.

Women always think that by hiding or concealing a little, they can live a peaceful life.

But he wasn't stupid; he knew she had something else she hadn't said.

However, the time is not right yet; pushing too hard could backfire.

"Let's go to the hospital for a full checkup."

His tone returned to its usual gentleness.

Liu Yuelan thought he believed her and felt a pang of guilt.

She lowered her head and followed him forward, her steps somewhat heavy.

As I passed by Su Qingzhi's house, I saw Su Qingzhi and Shen Zhiyu talking in the yard.

Sunlight streamed into the courtyard, and the two stood neither too close nor too far apart, intimately connected.

The sight made Liu Yuelan's eyes sting.

She immediately thrust her belly forward and said to the person next to her in a coquettish voice.

"Youming, we are so happy. We have a baby right after we got married."

She caught a glimpse of Su Qingzhi looking over and smiled at her.

"Su Qingzhi, when are you two going to have children?"

"Women should have children earlier; it's bad for their health when they get older."

Su Qingzhi stood up, walked to the door, and replied indifferently.

"How do you know so much about childbirth? Have you given birth several times yourself?"

Liu Yuelan felt a lump in her throat, and her face instantly turned red.

She was about to retort when Fang Youming grabbed her and pulled her away.

"Don't embarrass yourself here, let's go."

His tone was cold and hard, with obvious impatience.

"snort."

Su Qingzhi watched the two figures leave in a disheveled state and sneered.

"They really treat childbirth like a medal, and they don't even find it tiring."

She shook her head, her tone full of disdain.

Shen Zhiyu pulled Su Qingzhi to his side and whispered.

Don't argue with her.

"Let's just ignore her."

He put his arm around her shoulder and led her back into the house.

Su Qingzhi nodded, her expression serious.

She paused for a moment, then asked about returning to Beijing.

"Have you bought the tickets yet?"

"Changxi ordered it for me, and you and Mom's were also arranged together."

Shen Zhiyu spoke calmly.

"Should I go too?"

Su Qingzhi was slightly taken aback and looked at Shen Zhiyu with some surprise.

"certainly."

Shen Zhiyu nodded without hesitation.

“My mom hasn’t been back for three years. My grandparents, uncle, and aunt all want to see you. I want to take you back to visit them.”

He paused, looking at her calmly.

"Besides, I feel more at ease leaving the water with you."

Su Qingzhi also knew that the thing was mysterious and unpredictable, and it would be troublesome if she were targeted by someone on the road.

She hesitated for a moment, then made the suggestion.
