A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
Then, she quickly regained her composure.
Liu Yanyan also noticed me.
She stuck out her tongue and said, "A Sheng, you have someone at home?"
"Does that mean it was quite rude of me to break things just now?"
Qin Sheng pinched her cheek and replied, "What are you afraid of? This is our home."
"Do whatever you want."
As she spoke, she picked up a vase and handed it to her.
Liu Yanyan happily accepted it.
"A Sheng, you’re so good to me."
Seeing her about to smash my vase again, I rushed forward to stop her. "Stop!"
Liu Yanyan froze. "Huh?"
"You can't do this!"
I shouted in despair, "That’s something I worked hard to buy!"
Liu Yanyan clung to Qin Sheng's arm and said in a spoiled tone, "A Sheng, I'm scared."
Qin Sheng snorted coldly. "Qi Yun, get lost!"
I refused to back down.
Qin Sheng pushed me down.
I fell to the ground.
My arm was cut by the shards of a vase on the floor.
Qin Sheng pulled Liu Yanyan behind him, shielding her as if afraid I would hurt her.
I sat on the ground, my heart aching.
This was the man I loved deeply.
Once, he had whispered sweet words to me.
Liu Yanyan peeked out from behind Qin Sheng and spoke with a mocking tone:
"Sister, I know you're angry and want to vent."
"But you're pregnant now, and you can't handle stress, so you need to learn to be more magnanimous."
"A Sheng has been under a lot of pressure at work for you; he's been through a lot."
"Don't be so petty."
Qin Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at me. "That's right."
"Qi Yun, since you're pregnant, you should go back to your room and rest properly."
"Don't make things difficult for Yan Yan here."
Go back to my room?
Is there still a place for me in this home?
Is there a room that belongs to me?
I lowered my head, and tears fell to the ground, drop by drop.
When I first met Qin Sheng, he treated me the same way.
Every day after work, he would weave the most beautiful flowers into a crown and place it on my head.
Now, he uses the same tricks on another woman.
My parents passed away long ago.
I grew up being supported by others.
It wasn't until I graduated with my doctorate that I learned the organization funding my orphanage was Qin Group.
When I first met Qin Sheng, I thought it was a blessing from heaven.
Chairman Qin had helped me, and Qin Sheng had been sincere towards me.
I couldn't refuse.
Later, I married Qin Sheng.
For him, I gave up my career.
For him, I underwent more than twenty test tube procedures, hoping to carry on the the Qin Family lineage.
But he grew increasingly distant from me.
Especially when he was holding Liu Yanyan while going upstairs, I finally couldn't help but speak up.
"Qin Sheng, didn't you say that Qi Zhu was your one true love? Why are you betraying her?"
Qin Sheng snapped back angrily, "Shut up!"
"The person I love could never be you!"
My heart shattered completely.
It turned out that in his eyes, I was less important than Qi Zhu and Liu Yanyan.
I returned to my room and called my mentor from Across the Ocean and a doctor from a private clinic I knew.
Rather than staying in the the Qin Family and being tormented to death, it was better to break free from their control, terminate the pregnancy, and leave without looking back.
A week later, I lay in a dimly lit Private Clinic.
The doctor applied cold gel to my lower abdomen.
On the television, the news from The City was playing.
Qin Sheng was throwing a lavish birthday party for Liu Yanyan.
