On the day I was leaving for Beijing, Xie Zhong personally took me to the airport to meet Lizi. Before boarding, he leaned close to my ear and whispered, " Meng, have fun with Lizi. If you see anything you like, buy it. Don't worry about the money." To outsiders, he seemed like a caring husband. But the more he acted this way, the more disgusted I felt. Especially after learning his true nature, his actions seemed hypocritical to the point of making me want to vomit. Nevertheless, I pretended to be happy and nodded, "Got it, husband. I'll have a great time." "Good." "Goodbye, husband." "Goodbye." He waved his hand and watched as Lizi and I passed through security before leaving with a sense of relief. 0
 
I stood at the security checkpoint, looking back at his retreating figure, feeling a mix of emotions. He was in such a hurry; he must be going to find Xia Ranran. At that moment, Lizi walked over and gently patted my shoulder. " Meng, we should go." I nodded, "Okay." Together with Lizi, I boarded the plane. 0
 
As the plane took off, I gazed out at the blue sky and white clouds, feeling a wave of bitterness in my heart. Goodbye, Xie Zhong. 0
 
Three hours later, the plane arrived in Beijing. Lizi and I disembarked and exited the airport. Just as we reached the door, Lizi suddenly asked me, "Are you really going to do this?" "Yes." "You..." " Lizi, if you consider me a friend, don't try to persuade me because I won't listen." Lizi sighed, "Alright then." 0
 
I hailed a taxi outside the airport and was about to get in when Lizi suddenly called out to me. " Meng!" I turned around to look at her. "Are you... really going to do this?" "Yes." "No regrets?" 0
 
 
"Never regret." 0
"Then... I support you." 0
"Thank you." 0
"Who says we aren't good friends?" 0
"Right, we are lifelong good friends." 0
"Mm!" 0
The taxi door closed. 0
Through the car window, I saw Lizi standing there, tears glistening in her eyes. 0
I closed my eyes and silently said, " Lizi, I'm sorry." 0
An hour later, the taxi arrived at Xia Ranran's place. 0
As soon as I got out of the car, a man in black approached me. 0
"Miss Sun, you've arrived." 0
"Is there any news these days?" 0
"Xie Zhong comes by every day; sometimes he even stays overnight." 0
I bit my lip and replied, "Okay, I understand." 0
"Miss Sun, do you want to go up now?" 0
"No, I'll wait for him downstairs." 0
"Alright." 0
I walked over to a bench and sat down, quietly waiting for Xie Zhong's arrival. 0
The paparazzo stood not far away, watchfully scanning the surroundings. 0
Around five in the afternoon, a familiar black Mercedes slowly drove into the community. 0
Xie Zhong got out of the car and quickly walked toward the elevator. 0
I exchanged glances with the paparazzo; he understood immediately and followed him. 0
I stood downstairs, watching Xie Zhong's disappearing figure, feeling a chill in my heart. 0
Xie Zhong, if I don't see you with Xia Ranran myself, I will never give up. 0
The news that Lizi found out was that Xie Zhong did not appear at the place he originally planned to go. 0
However, a friend of Lizi unexpectedly discovered that Xia Ranran was taking a taxi with a child to a certain location. 0
Lizi immediately informed me of this news. 0
I was shocked to find out that the place Xia Ranran was going to was actually the home we once shared together. 0
Xie Zhong, are you really that impatient? 0
 
 
I had just left when you brought Xia Ranran home? You did this because you were sure I would never discover your secret, right? I stood at the entrance, holding the key to my house. Just as I was about to unlock the door, I heard the sound of a child crying inside. 0
 
"Wah wah wah—" 0
 
The child's cries were loud, completely drowning out the sound of me opening the door. I opened the door and quietly stepped inside. In the foyer, there was a pair of women's leather shoes that didn't belong to me. The slippers I usually kept there were nowhere to be found. 0
 
I cautiously moved forward, the child's cries intermittent. It wasn't until I reached the living room that I saw what was happening on the sofa. 0
 
As I finally took in the scene on the living room sofa, a wave of intense nausea washed over me. Xie Zhong, Xia Ranran, how could you… How could you… 0
 
They were sitting on the sofa, embracing each other and kissing passionately. They held each other without a care in the world, as if they were the legitimate couple. And I was just a sad and pitiful intruder. 0
 
"Wah wah wah—" The child's cries continued. I turned my head to look at the little life lying in the stroller. He was so small, so innocent. Yet his existence felt like a disgrace to me. 0
 
I couldn't accept that the man I had loved for so many years had a child with another woman. I couldn't accept that the home I once considered a refuge had become another woman's nest. 0
