Xu Honglin rubbed his sore eyes, gathered his thoughts, and slowly said:

"Big brother, I'm sorry to you, and even more sorry to Jingya."

What good is it for you to say sorry now?

"I didn't know that Su Xin's original name was Shen Qiuye!"

Xu Honglin spoke frankly and sincerely, not at all like he was defending himself. "When I met Su Xin, her name was Lian Wenying and my name was Zhang Hongxuan. We participated in a nuclear research project together. This project was a top-level national secret project. Everyone who participated in the project used an alias. The participants were recruited from all over the country. In order to keep the project secret, we did not know each other and signed a confidentiality agreement, which prohibited us from disclosing any of our private information."

He continued speaking for about twenty minutes, explaining in detail how he met Shen Qiuye and how they fell in love.

It turns out that they had all worked under assumed names back then for a state secret project.

At that time, Xu Honglin was divorced, and he was very disappointed after ending a messy marriage.

At this time, he was deeply attracted by the beautiful, elegant, and knowledgeable Shen Qiuye.

Working and living together day and night allowed them to discover the harmony between their souls.

They had endless topics to discuss, shared common interests, and the same passion for serving their country.

And so, the two secretly began dating.

Xu Honglin also solemnly promised that he would marry her as soon as the project was completed.

"Just when the project was about to end, Su Xin suddenly withdrew."

Xu Honglin recalled, "She left very suddenly. The higher-ups said that she voluntarily withdrew due to health reasons. When she left, she didn't leave any information, not even a goodbye. I was sad for a long time. Now I understand why she left without a word."

Shen Jingyan's eyes slowly reddened: "She's pregnant, and that child is me."
