Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Inside Su Nan and Ruan Heng's apartment.

Su Nan was sitting on the sofa in the living room, comfortably munching on some sunflower seeds while watching television. Xi Xiaye was peeling apples beside her and Ruan Heng was busy cooking in the kitchen.

"Is Han Yifeng really canceling his marriage with that witch Xi Xinyi?" Su Nan asked Xi Xiaye again, with a grin on her face that rejoiced in someone else's misfortune. She started laughing before Xi Xiaye could reply, "Karma! Great! Let's see if she can still show us that cocky face of her again! Karma has finally slapped her hard! That witch is so fake, yet some people are too blind to see through her!" Su Nan could not help but curse her in relief.

"She deserves it! Xiaye, you should've acted sooner. There's also Huang Shanshan and Yu Lingling. Who do they think they are? Who else could've made Yu Lingling say what she did that night?" Su Nan mocked, "Xi Xinyi is doomed now. Most of the contracts she had are now canceled. If Han Yifeng's canceling his marriage with her, I'm interested to see what she'll do next. So what if she's going to take over Yueying? Sell the 37% shares you have now and Yueying will be done for! Even your grandmother will need to listen to you!"

Su Nan was feeling really smug at the moment.

"Their marriage might not be called off anyway. Xi Xinyi isn't like the past me. Even if she agreed to it, the Xi family and Yue family might not give in," Xi Xiaye handed a freshly peeled apple to Su Nan and said.

Su Nan frowned as she took the apple from Xi Xiaye. Taking a big bite and then said, "That's true. If that happened, then it would really benefit Xi Xinyi, but since Han Yifeng suggested not marrying her, he must be getting tired of Xi Xinyi already. Getting them to hate each other seems like a good idea as well!"

Su Nan shrugged with a sadistic expression on her face. "Xiaye, if that's what happens, it would be nice to see Huang Shanshan and Xi Xinyi fight with each other! Please don't look at me like that. I know that I'm pretty mean, but with what you did, we're not really that different. Hahaha..."

Xi Xiaye grabbed a tissue to wipe her hands and drank some water. "This matter is far from over. The Xi Xinyi I know wouldn't just let me get away like this..."

"You mean your expulsion from the military academy? Isn't that news suppressed by your man already? What are you worried about? You didn't do it anyway. Don't suffer for it anymore. It's all in the past and we live in the present. Put your hopes in tomorrow, okay?" Su Nan voiced out as she saw the clearly worried expression on Xi Xiaye's face.

Xi Xiaye smiled and looked at Su Nan. "Since when did you start giving life advice to people?"

Su Nan shrugged and glanced at her with a smile. "I mean it. You're always too serious. Let go of some burden in you and you'll be free. After being with Ruan Heng for so many years, the one thing I'm still worried about is you, Xiaye. You always keep a lot to yourself and we're both worried about you. Luckily, you met a man like Master Mu and we're really relieved about that. Just let him worry about those things... Why else would you need a man for?"

Xi Xiaye felt warm inside as Su Nan's words reached her ears. She looked down at the glass in her hands, a gentle light appearing in her eyes.

She was not really expecting much. The fact that he could trust her and protect her unconditionally, and even settled the matter for her despite her ugly past being thrust right in his face was really touching. Of course, there was Su Nan and Ruan Heng as well...

Suddenly, she felt that luck was still on her side. If all the suffering she experienced before was for the sake of the happiness she was feeling right now, she would still believe that the world was a beautiful place.

If love could happen between him and her, she would believe it and accept it...

However, could he really give it to her?

A crack appeared on the surface of her locked up heart. It seemed like from this moment onward, she started to look forward again.

Still, at the same time, she was worried. What should she do if she could not stay with him till the end?

...

At the Xi Residence at West Park.

Xi Xinyi opened the envelope and took the items inside out.

There were several photos of Han Yifeng and Xi Xiaye by the bank of the South River, and they seemed intimate!

Her expression darkened and her eyebrows frowned. She quickly went through the stack of photos, her body started trembling.

Pa!

Tssssk —

A coldness enveloped her face, and she ripped the photos apart crazily before throwing them onto the ground angrily to stomp on them!

Suddenly, the door opened and Yue Lingsi came inside. She was shocked to see Xi Xinyi's maniacal behavior and cold expression!

"Xinyi, what's wrong?"

Yue Lingsi looked at Xi Xinyi with complicated eyes. She felt that her daughter had totally transformed into another person, especially after her scandal. She also felt odd about the documents Xi Xiaye had sent them.

She felt that she had never really understood her own daughter well.

She looked at the photos on the ground, some of which were torn into pieces. Yue Lingsi was stunned for a moment before picking one of them up. Her expression changed when she saw what was on them!

"Xinyi, what's happening?" Yue Lingsi looked at Xi Xinyi with her eyes wide.

Xi Xinyi clenched her fists while her expression was horrible. She suddenly covered her face as she broke down and cried, "Mother, what should I do? Yifeng doesn't want me anymore... He doesn't want me anymore... He's going back to Sister... I did all of it just to get him, but he blames me..."

"Mother, I know I'm wrong... I just love him too much. All these years, I felt guilty about what I did to Sister, and I tried to make it up to her. In the end, they still treat me this way..."

Xi Xinyi was crying as she broke down.

Yue Lingsi felt pained looking Xi Xinyi. She was reminded of her past self when she saw the happily married Xi Mushan and Shen Wenna. Xi Xinyi was still her daughter after all. She was not wrong to fight for her own happiness since everyone had that right, did they not?

Xi Xinyi was really exhausted. Her face looked pale and her bright self was nowhere to be seen. Moreover, Yue Lingsi noticed that Han Yifeng had not been at West Park lately!

She could already sense that something was not right between Xi Xinyi and Han Yifeng, so she had come over to ask her about it. However, she did not expect to bump into such a scene here. Looking at these photos, Xi Xiaye and Han Yifeng...

"This..."

Yue Lingsi looked at Xi Xinyi in doubt and was surprised about the photos.

Xi Xinyi's voice became hoarse from all the crying. As she was about to explain, suddenly the door opened from the outside.

Yue Lingsi turned over to the door as Xi Xinyi sniffed and raised her head. The person who appeared before them was Han Yifeng's personal assistant, Secretary Wang!

"Mrs. Xi, Ms. Xinyi!"

Secretary Wang came inside with a large envelope in his hand.

"Secretary Wang? Why are you here? Where's CEO Han?" Yue Lingsi asked.

Secretary Wang greeted Yue Lingsi with a smile, but he then stopped before Xi Xinyi. Stealing a glance at the photos on the ground, he frowned when he saw the people in the photos, but he quickly averted his gaze.

"Secretary Wang, Yifeng..." Xi Xinyi wiped off the tears on her face and trailed off.

Secretary Wang bowed slightly and handed the envelope to Xi Xinyi as he said quietly, "Ms. Xinyi, CEO Han went overseas to work and will only be back in a few days. He asked me to hand you this document. He'll discuss the marriage contract with you again when he returns..."

"What? What does he mean by that? Discuss the marriage contract? What is Yifeng trying to do?" Yue Lingsi's eyes widened when she heard Secretary Wang, she stared at him, "You're saying that Yifeng is trying to cancel the marriage contract?"

"Mrs. Xi, CEO Han will do his best to compensate Ms. Xinyi. It's chaotic all over right now. The Han Corporation's share price is going down. This might be a temporary solution. Please understand! CEO Han is really worn out from what happened lately. It's already tough enough to help Ms. Xinyi secure the collaboration with Qikai," Secretary Wang explained.

"Did you say that Han Yifeng has secured the collaboration with Qikai? They're not going to withdraw?"

Yue Lingsi's eyes suddenly brightened!

Secretary Wang nodded. "CEO Han put in his best effort for Ms. Xinyi's sake. Ms. Xinyi, CEO Han said he gave you a choice, and since you made your choice, he'll respect it. He hopes that you can be well on your own in the future. This document is a contract with Qikai. The filming can start anytime after they change the female lead role!"

Xi Xinyi's tears started to flow again. She dragged Secretary Wang's arm as he was about to leave after giving her the document. She cried, "Wait! Secretary Wang! Yifeng wouldn't do this to me. Please tell him that this is really the last time, alright? He's not answering my calls and he's not at home. I don't know where he is. Secretary Wang, can you please tell him for me? I don't want to cancel our marriage contract. I don't want to..."

"Ms. Xinyi, you've made your choice. Why do you have to give CEO Han such a hard time? All these years, CEO Han has put up with you, yet you... I'm afraid CEO Han has made up his mind this time. He also hopes that you can hand back the key to his villa... If you're unhappy, he can give you an amount of money as compensation."

Secretary Wang looked at Xi Xinyi in disappointment as he sighed, "Ms. Xinyi, CEO Han has always thought of you. The Han Corporation was deeply affected because of you. Why can't you put yourself in his shoes? Ms. Shanshan and I waited for you the whole morning at the airport the other day. We were really disappointed that you didn't come. Ms. Shanshan wanted to forgive you if you were willing to let go of everything and just obey CEO Han. Unfortunately, you gave up on that choice, so don't blame anyone else."

He wanted to pull her hand away, but she gripped on tightly with tears in her eyes. "No, Secretary Wang, can you tell me where Yifeng is? I'll talk to him myself! I really can't leave City Z. Why does he have to force me like this? Can't he put it up with me one last time? Does he hate me because of Xi Xiaye?"

"I don't know about that either, Ms. Xinyi! I'm just here to pass you his message. I hope you can understand."

"I understand you, but please tell me where Yifeng is! You must know where he is, don't you?"

Xi Xinyi tossed the envelope aside and stood up. Suddenly, she got hit by a dizzy spell. Before she could react, she stumbled and fell down.

"Ms. Xinyi!"

"Xinyi!"

Secretary Wang quickly grabbed her hand and she did not hit the ground, but she was now unconscious.

"Ms. Xinyi, how are you?"

"Xinyi! Xinyi! What's wrong?"

...

No matter how they called her name, Xi Xinyi did not respond at all. Yue Lingsi panicked.

"Don't worry, Mrs. Xi. Call the ambulance now!"

Secretary Wang calmed down quickly. He held Xi Xinyi in his arms and walked out swiftly.

Yue Lingsi recovered from her panic and quickly grabbed her phone to call an ambulance.

Secretary Wang rushed down the staircase and then bumped into Deng Wenwen with her servants.

"What happened?"

Deng Wenwen had recovered a little after resting for several days. Although she was very exhausted with what had happened to Yueying, she had no idea how to clean up this mess, so she could only rely on the Yue family and the Han Corporation for now.

"Ms. Xinyi suddenly fell unconscious! I'm sending her to the hospital!"

Deng Wenwen finally saw who Secretary Wang was holding. "What? Xin Er? What happened to Xin Er?"

"I don't know. We'll find out at the hospital!"

Yue Lingsi also caught up with them as she appeared behind.

Deng Wenwen's expression darkened when she saw Secretary Wang march outside quickly. She grabbed Yue Lingsi and asked her anxiously, "Lingsi, what happened?!"

Yue Lingsi looked at Deng Wenwen with worry in her eyes. "Han Yifeng wants to annul his marriage contract with Xinyi. She was too shocked and fell unconscious! Mother, I thought it was odd that Han Yifeng hasn't been visiting us lately. He was having a conflict with Xinyi, and he might even have had the thought of abandoning her for some time already. What should we do?"

"Mother, look at these pictures... It's Han Yifeng and that witch! How can Xinyi take it after seeing these photos?"

Yue Lingsi handed the photos to Deng Wenwen with a murderous expression, coldness appearing in her eyes. "I knew she wouldn't just give up! She must be thinking of getting Han Yifeng back using this opportunity to mess with Xinyi! That must be it! What a wicked person!"

Deng Wenwen took a glance at the photos and her expression darkened as well. A glint flashed in her eyes as she yelled, "Nonsense! What's this? Isn't he engaged to Xin Er? And he still went out with Xi Xiaye? That fool!"

Deng Wenwen was furious, especially after Xi Xiaye had released a series of scandals about Xi Xinyi and landed Yueying in chaos. Before the dust had even settled, now this happened!

"Mother, that witch Xi Xiaye is messing with us! She turned Yueying into this state today and she's still not happy with it. She just had to meddle with Han Yifeng and Xinyi! She planned to give us a hard time all along. Xinyi was already pitiful enough, and she's still not going to let go of her..."

Yue Lingsi was enraged, fuelling Deng Wenwen's anger. A cold aura spread around her.

"What should we do now? How should we handle this matter? I'm afraid the Han family..." Yue Lingsi felt really anxious and frowned.

"How can they just cancel the marriage just like that? Do they think it's a joke? We'll discuss it. Go and take a look at Xin Er's condition now!"

Deng Wenwen calmed down quickly after she tossed the photos in her hand away. "What bullsh*t!"

Yue Lingsi nodded before going out. "Okay, I'll look after Xin Er. Mother, you should stay at home and wait for my call."

Inside a premium ward in the obstetrics and gynecology department of Hospital T.

The doctor wearing a white coat did a thorough check-up for Xi Xinyi. Then, he closed his document and told Yue Lingsi, "Mrs. Xi, Ms. Xi has already been pregnant for a month plus. Congratulations!"

Yue Lingsi was stunned by the doctor's words. Unable to grasp what was happening, she stared at the doctor blankly and mumbled, "What did you say? Xinyi is pregnant?"

"Yes, it's been slightly over a month. She fell unconscious because of her weak body and she's overexerted herself recently. I'll give her some tocolytics. Her condition isn't fully stable now and she needs to be hospitalized for a day or two. The nurse will explain what to take note of later. You can go and start the hospitalization procedure first!" The doctor said with a smile.

Yue Lingsi's worrisome expression softened when the doctor gave her such a confident response. She started smiling and even chuckled happily. "Great! Just amazing! Xinyi, you did well! I have to tell your grandmother about this right away. Oh, and your in-laws!"

Yue Lingsi took her phone out and dialed West Park swiftly.

On the other side of the bed, the silent Secretary Wang frowned slightly.

Things just got more troublesome now!

Did CEO Han want to annul the marriage?

They had a child now. How could it be done? With the relationship between the Xis and the Hans, it was already difficult to annul the marriage contract in the first place. Now with this child in the equation, not only was it nearly impossible to void the marriage contract, but they might even be forced to get married immediately!

After some thought, Secretary Wang told Yue Lingsi, "Mrs. Xi, I'll work on the hospitalization procedure!"

Yue Lingsi nodded with a smile. "Sure! Thank you, Secretary Wang!"

Secretary Wang nodded with a heavy expression. He took his phone out and called Han Yifeng the moment he stepped out of the room.

"CEO Han, I have two items to report to you." Secretary Wang's slightly uneasy tone reached Han Yifeng's ears.

On the balcony of the hotel room, Han Yifeng was leaning on the fence and gazing at the gloomy sky as he answered, "What is it?"

"Just now, when I delivered the document, I saw the photos of you and Ms. Xiaye in Ms. Xinyi's room. They look like candid photos that were secretly taken! Ms. Xinyi's emotions were really unstable and she fell unconscious just now, so I sent her to the hospital. The results came out and the doctor said that Ms. Xinyi is..."

Secretary Wang took a solemn pause at this point.

"She's what?" Han Yifeng's face was expressionless as he asked coldly.

Secretary Wang took a deep breath before he replied quietly, "The doctor said that Ms. Xinyi has already been pregnant for a month. She needs to be hospitalized for a few days due to her frail body and unstable emotions..."

Pregnant!

He was stunned when he heard this word. Instantly, he could not react at all!

How could Xi Xinyi be pregnant?

At this time?

He remembered that she would take medication every time after they did it. She mentioned she would not consider a child for the next one to two years because of her acting career!

What's happening?

Han Yifeng clenched his fists, irritation blooming on his cold face.

"CEO Han, what do we now? Mrs. Xi called CEO Deng and also the Han family. I'm sure your parents will come over very soon. You do realize that they were really looking forward to a grandchild, and with the relationship between the Hans and the Xis, they might still force you two to get married despite Ms. Xinyi's current circumstances..."

Han Yifeng had a headache after hearing Secretary Han's update. He pinched the space between his eyebrows and went silent. After a while, he replied, "I got it. We'll talk about it again when I get back. Take care of things over there."

"Yes, CEO Han!"

Han Yifeng hung up on the call, feeling irritated deep down. He was not sure if he should feel delighted or troubled!
