After all, she and Fan Shixin had never taken any contraceptive measures before.

Hence, her heart sank, and she repeatedly convinced herself not to panic.

To her astonishment, she still did not get her period even after a week.

Mu Wansheng had no choice but to inform her husband.

Yucheng, theres something that I must tell you.

Whats the matter?

I had a boyfriend before this.

I know, its Fan Shixin.

Mu Wansheng admitted, Yes, but its impossible between us now. Ive already married you. However, I have to let you know that Im no longer a virgin.

Ive already guessed that, but it doesnt matter.

Im suspecting that Im pregnant because my period is late. So, go to the pharmacy and help me get two pregnancy test kits she said, her voice beginning to fade.

Tang Yucheng expressed assent and said, Ill go now.

Alright.

Mu Wansheng felt that she was out of her mind for telling her husband to buy her some pregnancy test kits so that she could use them to check if she was pregnant with her ex-boyfriends child. However, there was no one she could count on except him.

Ex-boyfriend

Fan Shixin had indeed become her ex-boyfriend now that she was married.

However, they did not officially break up.

Needless to say, Mu Wanshengs name was definitely included under the list of late family members in the Mu family records.

She currently had only one identity.

Tang Yucheng returned with the pregnancy test kits.

She collected her urine in a transparent plastic cup as stated by the instructions given on the pamphlet that Tang Yucheng had read out to her.

The results of the test took her aback greatly.

She was pregnant.

What is the outcome? Mu Wansheng asked, filled with panic.

Youre pregnant.

Mu Wansheng sat on the bed, facing a certain direction while her mind went blank.

Mu Qixing could finally live in peace after Luo Hang eloped with his girlfriend.

Out of sight, out of mind.

She landed herself a job at the supermarket, in spite of her in-laws constant persuasion for her to work in their furniture company instead. She turned their offer down because she did not want to feel burdened or pressured.

To her dismay, Lu Jingrao would visit the supermarket every day and leave without buying anything.

The same thing happened for several consecutive days. Hence, Mu Qixing pretended not to see him.

Upon discovering that he was present today as well, she planned to pretend not to see him again. However, things did not turn out according to plan.

How much does this cost? he asked, holding a bag of snacks that she used to enjoy eating.

Are you blind? Cant you read the price tag yourself?

He walked toward her and asked, Youre getting off work soon. Shall we have dinner together?

I dont want to dine with you.

I accompanied you for a meal previously. You ought to return the favor too.

Since you already know that Im married, why are you looking me up instead of being upset at me? Why? she asked, staring at him.

If you had left me because you had lost your feelings for me and not because of a misunderstanding, I probably wont swallow my pride and look for you. Ive thought about it carefully. Qixing, I know you still love me. I was the one who didnt give you a sense of security.

He added, I want to salvage our relationship because I still love you.

Even if Im already married?

Youre the one I care about.

Tears welled up in Mu Qixings eyes. Although Luo Hang and I are married only in name, I really dont know when I can divorce him. Hes now eloped with his girlfriend. God knows when hell come home.

Ill wait for you.

Gazing at him, Mu Qixing said, Lets have dinner together.

She loved him deeply, and although she had been suppressing her feelings for him, it didnt mean that she would sacrifice her happiness and true love for a hopeless marriage.

Before her divorce, she would continue to see him while keeping an appropriate distance.

They had lunch at a restaurant where there were partitions in between tables.

However, he was chewing very slowly and spent most of his time watching her eat.

Im almost done eating but youre not done yet. Are you expecting me to wait for you?

I just want to stay with you a little longer. Cant I?

She remained silent and stopped rushing him.

As soon as they were about to leave after they were done with the meal, a figure suddenly caught Mu Qixings attention.

She stood up and said, I just saw Luo Hang walking past.

Are you afraid that hed see us?

Why should I be afraid? Im just thinking that we should come up with a way to make him pester his parents to let him have a divorce. She smirked and continued, Ill be back in a jiffy. If you need to rush off, you may leave first. If not, wait for me in the car.

She then left.

As soon as Luo Hang entered the room, she followed closely behind and zoomed into the room successfully before the door closed.

Upon the sight of her, Luo Hang glowered and questioned, Are you tailing me?

I cant be bothered to do that. I just happened to see you when I was having a meal downstairs. Luo Hang, just how much longer are you going to continue hiding from reality?

Luo Hang sat down and said, Its none of your business.

I know you want a divorce. Why dont you go home and tell your parents that you want to get a divorce? You can marry Ms. Xia and well both be happy.

Luo Hang sneered, I would have done so if I could. Why do I need you to tell me what to do?

Xia Banqin did not believe that Mu Qixing would be that kind and merely thought that it was just one of her devious schemes.

Exactly, you dont have to be such a hypocrite. Go home and enjoy your life as a Young Madam, Xia Banqin chimed in.

Remaining calm and composed, Mu Qixing retorted, Ms. Xia, theres seriously so much animosity between us. But then again, Im Luo Hangs lawful wife and its only understandable that youd resent me. However, I think that the only way you can marry Luo Hang is if we get a divorce and you get pregnant with his child. Otherwise, its impossible for you to replace me and keep him.

She then turned around and left confidently.

Luo Hang was overwhelmed with exasperation.

However, Xia Banqin had taken Mu Qixings words into consideration.

In fact, that was exactly what she planned to do.The Luo family cant possibly make me go for an abortion if I get pregnant, she thought.

Mu Qixing could not be bothered about what they thought because she was certain that they would definitely carry out that plan. All she had to do was to wait patiently. Once Xia Banqin gets pregnant, she would definitely be able to divorce Luo Hang.

She exited the restaurant to see that Lu Jingrao was still waiting for her inside the car. She stepped forward and got inside the car.

Youre back so soon.

What were you expecting? We might be able to get a divorce in a few months time, Mu Qixing said with a smile.

Why so? he asked curiously.
