“Oh, right! Yunmo.” Zhang Yanhua suddenly pushed Shen Yunmo away and looked at him with a serious expression.

"What's wrong, Yan Hua?" Shen Yunmo looked at him with a puzzled expression.

She gently stroked her lower abdomen. "Yunmo, it's almost two months along. I went to a private doctor for a checkup yesterday, and there's a heartbeat!"

She looked at Shen Yunmo hesitantly, wondering how he would react.

"Really?" Shen Yunmo asked with delight. "It really has a heartbeat?"

He wrapped his arms around her waist like a child, his ear pressed against her lower abdomen. "Strange, why can't I hear you?"

"Ugh! I can't hear you now!" Zhang Yanhua pushed him away with a shy expression.

The two of them were playfully bickering, which was very sweet.

But suddenly, Zhang Yanhua's mood plummeted again.

"Yunmo, what do you plan to do with this child?" From the moment she found out she was pregnant, she knew that this child should not be kept.

But she couldn't bear to part with it, especially looking at that tiny little thing on the ultrasound.

How amazing, a tiny life was growing inside her body.

The long-held hopes for a child seem to have found their home at this moment.

People her age have long been mothers, but she is still all alone. Every time she sees others holding their children at gatherings, she may appear indifferent, but she feels a pang of sadness inside.

For a long time, she and Xiao Linran had no children, and Xiao Linran blamed her for it because he had children with other women, but she had never had any. Under long-term suppression.

She even thought that she might never have children or the opportunity to be a mother.

But this child came so suddenly, and it didn't care about its untimely arrival. It grew strong and healthy inside her body.

She tried several times to kill it by herself, but in the end she couldn't bring herself to do it.

"What do you mean, what should we do? Of course, we should keep it! It's our child!" Shen Yunmo said without hesitation, his expression showing no doubt.

Looking at Shen Yunmo's young and handsome face, Zhang Yanhua felt a surge of tenderness in her heart.

She had asked Shen Yunmo before, but he always gave her the same answer.

“But once this child is born, Xiao Linran will definitely know that the child is not his. What should we do then?” Zhang Yanhua asked anxiously.

"Why don't we just elope? The world is so big, there must be a place for us!" Shen Yunmo said with anticipation.

"Elopement?" Zhang Yanhua kept pondering these two words in her mind.

Zhang Yanhua considered the idea briefly, then quickly dismissed it.

No, absolutely not!

She is now the second wife of the Xiao family, the future matriarch of the Xiao family. Eloping means abandoning everything she has now and becoming an unknown person. How can that be allowed!

She's been in this position for so many years, it would be such a waste to let her give it up like this!

Moreover, she had been pampered and spoiled since childhood, never lifting a finger to do anything.

Shen Yunmo was just an ordinary security guard; how could he afford to support her?

Elopement with him would mean falling from the clouds to the bottom of the mud.

How can this be?

At this moment, Zhang Yanhua's inherent selfishness was fully unleashed, and even her expression towards Shen Yunmo became much colder.

Shen Yunmo understood everything about her expression.

He sneered inwardly. Just as he had expected, this woman was unwilling to give up her wealth and status, yet also unwilling to give up his gentleness and tenderness.

But there's no such thing as having it all in this world. If you're so greedy, you'll only be asking for trouble.

Shen Yunmo was indifferent inside, but his face remained expressionless.

"I was just joking, but is there really no other way? Don't you want our child to be born?" Shen Yunmo said pointedly.

"Other methods?" Shen Yunmo's words seemed to suddenly awaken Zhang Yanhua.

Why did she insist on aborting the child?

Why couldn't she make Xiao Linran feel that this was his child?

Xiao Linran has always wanted to have a child, hasn't he?

The baby is less than two months old, there's still a chance, isn't there?

As long as Xiao Linran is willing to share a room with her, there is still a way to cover everything up.

As for the issue of the baby's gestational age, there are plenty of ways to cover it up later.

The more Zhang Yanhua thought about it, the more feasible it seemed, and she secretly made up her mind.

The next day, she called Xiao Linran, pleading for reconciliation in a humble tone.

Xiao Linran had initially found Zhang Yanhua's coldness during this period rather strange.

Her attempt to make peace only made him feel that Zhang Yanhua's previous actions were a deliberate ploy to lure him in, which made him even more disdainful.

"Sorry, I'm busy right now! Do you think your little tricks can attract my attention?" Xiao Linran said with a look of disdain.

Zhang Yanhua was so angry she almost fainted.

That old bastard Xiao Linran, does he really think she's still the same as before? She's long lost interest in him, but she just can't directly retort, which almost made her die of frustration.

This happened several times. The more she tried to please Xiao Linran, the less he would listen and he would even make sarcastic remarks to her. She was so angry that she almost died.

A month passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the child was already more than two months old in her belly, but she still hadn't found an opportunity to make the child recognize Xiao Linran as his father.

She was getting more and more anxious, but there was nothing she could do. Xiao Linran wouldn't even step into the house, so she couldn't find an opportunity at all.

Just as she was troubled by Xiao Linran's matter, another major event occurred.

Shen Yunmo has disappeared.

Without any message or words left behind, it was as if they had vanished into thin air.

His clothes, his blankets, the books on his desk, and the plants he had carefully tended—everything was still there, but he couldn't find them anywhere.

Zhang Yanhua stood in Shen Yunmo's dormitory, "Did he really not tell you where he went?"

Even at this point, Zhang Yanhua still clung to a sliver of hope, thinking that perhaps Shen Yunmo hadn't disappeared at all, but had simply forgotten to tell the others where he went.

"Second Young Madam, even you don't know, so how could we possibly know?" It was obvious that the people in Shen Yunmo's dormitory knew about his relationship with Zhang Yanhua.

"Don't you have any special missions lately?" Zhang Yanhua still wouldn't give up.

"No, there haven't been any special missions lately!" Even this was denied by the others.

Did Yunmo really leave without saying goodbye?
