Chapter 1
“I’m pregnant. Why don’t you divorce Qin Zhen? Although the Shen family has fallen, you were once the young miss of the Shen family. Have some dignity for yourself.”
Today was Shen Qingyue and Qin Zhen’s three-year wedding anniversary. She did not wait for her husband, but instead, she was met by his lover holding a pregnancy test report, demanding to take her place. How ironic.
In their three years of marriage, he had never touched her. He would always say he respected her work and dreams, asked her to take care of her health, and ensured their child would not lack companionship. Yet, he ended up having a child with another woman. If it were the old her, she would have kicked Wei Jiuer out a long time ago.
However, now, she remained calm and indifferent. “Sure, let’s get a divorce.”
Looking at the skinny woman in front of her, Wei Jiuer could not believe what she heard. “You agree? Are you kidding me?”
Shen Qingyue nodded.
Wei Jiuer was overjoyed. “Let’s go find A Zhen now! You’ll get a divorce today!”
To convince Shen Qingyue to agree to a divorce, she caused quite a stir, but Shen Qingyue remained stubborn. If she had known that faking a pregnancy would be so effective, she would not have wasted so much time.
Following Wei Jiuer into the car, Shen Qingyue asked directly, “Do you know where Qin Zhen is?”
Wei Jiuer answered without hesitation, “The Mandarin Duck Hotel.”
Shen Qingyue fell silent. Qin Zhen had not come home for a month. She could not contact him or find him. She did not have the chance to tell him that she was sick. Last month, she had been diagnosed with advanced-stage gastric cancer. Besides Qin Zhen, she had no family left. Thinking about how he did not want to accompany her to the Jiangnan water town, she had gone alone. She just had not seen Qin Zhen all this time, and there was always a trace of unwillingness in her heart. She wanted to see him one last time, to bring closure to their relationship.
With these thoughts in mind, a bitter smile appeared on her face. She had not expected that in the final moments of her life, she would have to rely on his lover to see him. While she was being tormented by illness, he was enjoying love and affection with his lover. It was time for her to wake up.
At this moment, a truck with a burning carriage sped over from the right.
Shen Qingyue’s pupils contracted and she subconsciously wanted to remind Wei Jiuer to brake. But it was too late… As her consciousness gradually blurred, she vaguely heard someone talking.
“President Qin, there’s someone else in the car besides Miss Wei!”
“Save Jiu’er first!”
Then, she saw the car door being pried open and someone carrying Wei Jiuer out. He was wearing the same wedding ring as hers…
Shen Qingyue fell into a coma. When she regained consciousness, she heard someone talking in her ear intermittently.
“What do you mean? I’ve come looking for so many of you. Are you all trash?” It was a deep and familiar male voice.
“Mr. Chi… We really tried our best. Miss Shen was sitting in the front passenger seat. Her injuries were too serious, and she was not treated in time. She had lost too much blood… I understand your feelings… But Miss Shen is already in the late stage of stomach cancer…”
“Don’t tell me this!” The man interrupted the doctor and then shouted to the person beside him, “You still haven’t contacted Qin Zhen? Did he die on the way?”
“President Chi, President Qin… I went to eat a candlelight dinner with Wei Jiuer. Wei Jiuer is only slightly injured…”
“Damn it!” First, it was the man’s angry scolding, followed by the sound of the trash can being kicked over, and then the sound of the door opening.
Someone sat beside her. Shen Qingyue tried hard to open her eyes, but it was futile. She could hear everything, but she could not do anything.
“I don’t know what to say to you… You were so smart when you were young. I’ve only been gone for a few years, and you’ve gotten yourself into this state… It’s my fault. You said I was picking a fight with you. You heartless person, it’s been three years, and you didn’t even give me a call. Am I that unlikable to you? If I hadn’t come back to find you, would there be no one to even collect your body… Wake up soon. I remember you liked the life in the Jiangnan water town, I’ll take you there…” Chi Ming whispered in her ear, his voice choked with emotion.
Shen Qing Yue remembered Chi Ming. They grew up together, but why did they part ways later? She remembered now. Because she insisted on marrying Qin Zhen, everyone told her that Qin Zhen did not love her, but she still fell for him. Chi Ming did not even attend the wedding… She did not expect him to send her off on her final journey… Her consciousness fell into a coma once again. It should be said that it was slowly being pulled out. Her heart completely stopped beating.
This time, she had no consciousness, and she did not know what Qin Zhen’s mad state was like afterward! She was also unaware that Chi Ming remained unmarried for the rest of his life.
