Qiao Mianmian left the hotel exhausted and received a call from Qiao Anxin, who mentioned Qiao Chen to lure her to Ming Yue Hotel. There, Qiao Anxin offered 10 million yuan for Qiao Mianmian to renounce her engagement to Su Ze, revealing her pregnancy with his child and her intent to keep it. Despite escalating bribes and arguments, Qiao Mianmian refused and slapped her sister.

That sharp slap instantly left a vivid handprint on Qiao Anxin’s delicate face.

Qiao Anxin was utterly stunned by the blow.

She pressed a palm to her cheek, shock spreading across her features. The moment she regained her composure, she raised her hand, poised to strike back.

Suddenly, a familiar silhouette caught her peripheral vision. She swiftly withdrew her arm and faked a stumble backwards.

Qiao Mianmian was still puzzled by the situation, yet her sister stared at her with sheer terror and trauma. “Sister, I’m sorry, I know I’m in the wrong. But I can’t control my feelings, I really love Brother Ah Ze. Sister, please forgive me, please don’t hurt my child.”

She seemed on the brink of tumbling to the floor.

All at once, the door flew open as a man burst inside. “Anxin!”

He rushed forward and caught Qiao Anxin in a firm embrace.

“Anxin, are you alright?”

The man was none other than Su Ze.

Qiao Anxin nestled against him, gazing up with eyes brimming with tears. Pitifully, she whispered, “Brother Ah Ze.”

“I’m so afraid. Our baby almost...”

Tremors wracked her body as she spoke, tears now streaming freely down her face. “Brother Ah Ze, I know I’ve let Sister down, and I won’t dare expect nor ask for her forgiveness. She can scold or even hit me and I’d be willing to take all of it. But our baby is innocent! How could she...”

Qiao Anxin’s cheek remained puffed up from the strike.

The handprint lingered clearly.

Even her eyes were puffy.

She looked utterly shaken, quivering in his arms from the ordeal.

Su Ze’s heart ached deeply seeing her so frightened.

He spun to confront Qiao Mianmian, his expression twisted with contempt and dismay. “Qiao Mianmian, the baby Anxin is carrying is only about a month old. This is the most unstable period. Given the way you shoved her, if she really did fall to the ground, do you know what the consequences would be?”

“I always thought you were kind and gentle, why have you become so vicious!”

“I’m vicious?”

Qiao Mianmian staggered, gaping at the man in utter disbelief.

Dressed head to toe in white, this dashing and princely figure exuded charm.

This was the face she had adored for countless years.

Yet now, it appeared completely strange and distant.

She was his fiancée.

They had shared a decade together!

Still, he sided with Qiao Anxin without hesitation.

Ten years... was that the limit of his faith in her?

In Su Ze’s view, she was nothing but a cruel harpy!

As she watched him cradle Qiao Anxin so protectively, and noted the vast difference in his gaze toward her, a chill gripped her heart while disappointment clouded her eyes. “Su Ze, have you forgotten whose fiancé you are? And who the woman in your arms is?”
