Chapter 1

At my wedding to He Xiuyuan, a girl in a white dress had too much to drink.

He Xiuyuan’s face darkened as he told her to stop making a scene.

Ignoring him, she turned to me with a smile. “Sister, I heard you’re pregnant. Have you picked out a name for the baby yet?”

I stroked my stomach and replied gently, “His nickname is July.”

“July.” Her gaze shifted back to He Xiuyuan, and she began to laugh even harder, tears pricking the corners of her eyes. “How can he be named July? He doesn’t even want July anymore.”

My expression froze, confused by her words.

In the stagnant silence, He Xiuyuan’s childhood friend was the first to speak up.

“Sister-in-law, my classmate is hammered. I’ll take her back to the hotel.”

After they left, I couldn’t help but ask He Xiuyuan, my voice tinged with a hint of hesitation.

“Ah Yuan, who was she?”

He Xiuyuan looked at me intently, his expression showing nothing out of the ordinary. “An old classmate.”

I wanted to press further.

But he beat me to it, changing the subject.

“Honey, a client from the company is wasted. I need to go check on him.”

“Alright…” I forced the words out, swallowing the questions I had been about to ask.

I don’t know why, but as I watched his hurried departure, an inexplicable sense of unease settled in my heart.
