“Xiaomeng, has something happened?” Shu Pan asked worriedly, also regretting not being with her.

“It’s nothing, babe. I’m just being paranoid. No matter what happens, I believe in him.” Ye Xiaomeng’s words were a bit cryptic, but Shu Pan knew she was referring to Cheng Yang.

“Babe, it’s my turn now. I’m at a prenatal checkup. We’ll talk later.” “Sure, remember to call me if there’s anything.” Shu Pan instructed.

“Yeah, don’t worry.” Shu Pan felt that Ye Xiaomeng seemed a bit different from usual, as if she had lost her previous cheerfulness and carefreeness.

In truth, Shu Pan was conflicted. She didn’t know whether to tell her friend about what she had seen. Although Cheng Yang kept insisting that the girl was his sister, who would have such ambiguous behavior with their sister?

Ye Xiaomeng loved Cheng Yang so much, for almost ten years. She was carrying his child now and they were going to have a wedding soon. If Shu Pan told her now, how could she handle it?

But not telling her, keeping it from her, the truth would come out sooner or later. Even if Ye Xiaomeng were thick-headed, she would eventually notice the hints of their close relationship.

To tell or not to tell, it seemed like both options would eventually lead to hurt. That was something Shu Pan didn’t want to see. She didn’t want her best friend to be hurt.

People were coming and going in the hospital. After her prenatal checkup, Ye Xiaomeng was planning to go home when a heart-wrenching scene appeared before her eyes.

She saw Cheng Yang, who had told her he was going on a business trip yesterday, now holding a woman in his arms. They were walking towards the registration counter, the woman in his arms appearing delicate and pitiable. Ye Xiaomeng could hardly believe her eyes.

Yet some things were hard to doubt when seen with one’s own eyes. In fact, she had sensed something was amiss vaguely, but she had been deceiving herself.

Tears streamed down Ye Xiaomeng’s face.

Lately, she had felt that something was off, but she didn’t dare to delve deeper.

He used to accompany her to prenatal checkups no matter how busy he was.

Whatever she wanted to eat, he would bring it to her immediately.

And now? He was always saying he had to travel for work, that he was busy. She was a fool. She thought his promotion had really made him that busy. It turned out he had someone else now!

She had just confidently told Shu Pan that she believed in him, and now it felt so ironic.

In fact, she was saying it to herself. For ten years, her world had revolved around him. He was her everything, her sky. Her love for him had even taken away her sense of self.

The scene before her completely shattered her. Afraid of being seen, she stepped aside, feeling pathetic for herself. Even in this state, she still didn’t want to confront the situation head-on.

She waited until they were far away before heading towards the exit, wandering aimlessly. She didn’t want to go home now, didn’t want to face the lies one after another.

She had stayed in the innocent world Cheng Yang had built for her for too long. She didn’t understand the complexity of human hearts. The world outside was so colorful, so tempting. How many could resist its allure?

By the afternoon, Cheng Yang finally called, “Honey, how was the checkup? Is our son doing well?”

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiaomeng’s heart felt sour. If not for what had happened earlier, maybe she would still think of herself as the happiest woman in the world. But now she really wanted to ask Cheng Yang, what was going on with that woman? How could he hold another woman and still care about her and their child?

But Ye Xiaomeng held back. She pretended as if nothing had happened, “Everything’s fine. When are you coming back? I want to eat the tomato and egg noodles you make.”

Cheng Yang on the other end of the line chuckled softly and called her a little glutton. Then, a voice came through the phone very clearly, “Brother Cheng, who are you talking to?”

The call was hastily disconnected right after that..
