Ruan Xixia, who always made herself strong like a female giant, felt a sharp pain in her nose, nearly shedding tears.

"You don’t need to do this for me..." Her voice was tinged with a nasal tone.

Ji Yemo: "It’s all right, I’m willing."

Ruan Xixia felt uncomfortable hearing this. She knew he was an upright and honest man who never easily made promises, never lied or hid things.

But for her, he broke his own rule...

-

In the private room.

Liang Zuyue saw the terrifyingly dark expression on Liang Qianli’s face and shivered, cautiously asking, "Brother, are you okay?"

Liang Qianli’s words seemed to be squeezed out between his teeth, "What you just said... is it all true?"

"Yes... When she was pregnant, I visited her. The doctor said her constitution was special, that if she aborted the baby, she would never be able to have children again. So she chose to give birth to the child... But she clearly said that the child died as soon as it was born..."

Liang Zuyue began to waver, unsure if Ruan Xixia was telling the truth or if Ji Yemo was.

"Keep this matter to yourself, never mention it to anyone for the rest of your life!" Liang Qianli ordered with an indisputable authority.

Liang Zuyue nodded, "I understand, brother... Will you give her up then?"

"My affairs are none of your concern." Liang Qianli said coldly, a deep pain flickering through his tiger-like eyes.

The woman he loved deeply... actually had another man’s child! Damn it!

Liang Zuyue caught a glimpse of his nearly broken expression and smiled smugly.

Ruan Xixia, a tainted woman, I refuse to believe you can enter the Liang Family’s door!

Ruan Family.

Ji Yemo sent Ruan Xixia to the door. After returning home, she took a bath.

The hot steam filled the bathroom, while the aroma of lavender drifted from the diffuser, causing her to close her eyes in fatigue...

When she awoke, the water in the bathtub was already cold.

Only then did Ruan Xixia realize she had fallen asleep in the bathtub!

She hurried to dry her hair, but it was too late. The next morning, she woke up with a splitting headache and a hoarse throat, and before she could take her temperature, there was a knock on her door.

"Come in."

Aunt Liu from the house came in, "Miss, Young Master Liang is here to see you."

"Liang Qianli?"

"Yes."

Ruan Xixia frowned slightly, washed up, and casually changed into a skirt before leaving the house.

Liang Qianli leaned against his reportedly expensive luxury car, staring pensively into the distance, his chin covered with a faint stubble.

Hearing the footsteps, he turned his face, his gaze inscrutable.

"Xixia..."

"What do you want with me?" Ruan Xixia asked directly.

Liang Qianli looked at her deeply and said meaningfully, "I didn’t sleep all night after I went back, thinking again and again, I still can’t let you go. I know you and Ji Yemo aren’t together, I don’t care about that, you should be with me!"

Ruan Xixia smirked, "No need, I can live well on my own."

With that, she turned to leave, Liang Qianli panicked and grabbed her arm, "Stop! You can’t leave!"

Ruan Xixia turned back impatiently, "Liang Qianli, what exactly do you want?"

"I want you to be with me!"

"Sorry, I don’t want to, not even the slightest bit!"

"Xixia, I really don’t understand you, you’re already..." Liang Qianli stammered, hesitating to speak.
