Yuncheng City.
Emperor Hotel's courtyard.
Blossoms burst into full splendor, while the soft wind bore the sweet floral aroma.
Yet Qiao Mianmian couldn't savor the beauty; the sight choked her breathless.
Gentle glows cast upon the earth as two familiar figures clung together beneath the tree.
“Brother Ah Ze...”
The woman's tone rang soft and tender. Her slender pale arms looped around his neck, nestling her head fondly against his chest.
The man appeared conflicted with other thoughts. He paused briefly before easing her away tenderly.
Spotting Su Ze glancing her way, Qiao Mianmian swiftly concealed herself behind cover.
She caught Su Ze's words, “Anxin, you said you were going to give me a surprise. What is it?”
Qiao Anxin's voice dripped with sweetness, shyly murmuring, “Brother Ah Ze, I’m pregnant.”
Right then, Qiao Mianmian felt slammed by an unseen impact.
Terror stretched her eyes wide while her cheeks drained of color.
“What?!” Shock hit Su Ze too.
“Brother Ah Ze, I’m pregnant!” Qiao Anxin lunged into his embrace, clinging tight with a face radiant in joy. “I’m carrying our baby. You’ll be a father soon, are you happy?”
Su Ze dipped his gaze, face still dazed, brows creasing faintly. “When was this?”
“Just a month ago.”
Body pressed to his, Qiao Anxin lifted her chin and shot a look at Qiao Mianmian's hiding spot.
Her lips arched slyly. “That day when Sister went for a shoot and we did it at the bay window in your house... that time.”
A month ago, her shoot?
Qiao Mianmian sensed the world whirling around her.
Su Ze’s house bay window...
She'd adored lounging there with a book.
That image twisted her insides with revulsion.
Qiao Anxin prattled on, but Qiao Mianmian absorbed nothing.
Her thoughts blanked out entirely.
Soon after, Su Ze remarked, “Let’s go back. We’ve been out here too long, she’ll get suspicious.”
Finishing their tender exchange, they turned toward the living room.
Qiao Mianmian paled ghostly, heart shredded in agony.
Through reddened eyes brimming with tears, she watched Su Ze sling his arm over Qiao Anxin while heading her way.
Noticing their advance, she bolted away in terror.

Dizzy and limp, Qiao Mianmian couldn't tell if the liquor she'd downed caused it.
Fleeing blindly, she crashed into several towering men dressed in black.
Apologies on her lips, one seized her vise-like. “That’s her. We found the person, take her away!”
That’s her?
Wrong person entirely?
Qiao Mianmian wriggled and fought back feebly, strength utterly spent.
Dizziness surged stronger, her mind fading fast...
