Chapter 2

When my best friend, Yaoyao, came to find me, she was holding an exquisite gift box.

She tossed it onto the table in front of me and spoke quite bluntly. “Yuanyuan, your love rival left this behind.”

“Love… rival?” My heart skipped a beat. I instinctively thought of the girl in the white dress, and my face paled even further.

“The girl who was just out there crying her eyes out,” Yaoyao said, puffing out her cheeks and rolling her eyes. “Crying like that over someone else’s groom… she’s got some nerve.”

Hearing this, my unease deepened.

Yaoyao patted my shoulder reassuringly, her tone incredibly certain. “Don’t worry too much. Your He Xiuyuan is a famous ‘wife-doting maniac.’ There’s no way he’d do anything to betray you.”

That was true. He Xiuyuan spoiled me to my very core.

Everyone said that I had married for love.

I shouldn’t doubt him.

I let out a long, slow breath, determined not to go looking for trouble.

I chatted with Yaoyao while absentmindedly fiddling with the gift box.

Suddenly.

The name on the gift box caught my eye.

I looked closer. So, her name was Qi Yue.

Wait.

Qi Yue… July…

The string in my mind suddenly snapped. My mouth hung open in a daze, and my straight back collapsed, unable to support my weight.

My world instantly plunged into darkness.

“Yuanyuan, why are you crying? Don’t scare me like this!”

“Where is He Xiuyuan? Help me find He Xiuyuan. I need to see him. I want to see him!”

“Okay, okay, I’ll find He Xiuyuan. You’re still carrying a baby, you can’t cry like this.”
