After the divorce, he went on a motorcycle trip, and his ex-wife and daughter were filled with regre

at the same time.

Located in the Cloud Top Hillside Villa District, a wealthy area of ​​Hanzhou City, Shen Qinghan's private villa was filled with a repressive and cold atmosphere.

Several days have passed since that farcical and sensational engagement party.

But everything that happened at that banquet was like a rusty poisonous thorn, stuck deep in Shen Qinghan's heart, making her feel extremely uncomfortable and distressed every time she recalled it.

Jiang Ye's utterly indifferent gaze, Xia Yu's haughty demeanor, and Gu Ziming's pathetic, dog-like groveling before Xia Yu...

Everything shattered Shen Qinghan's proud self-esteem.

She suddenly realized that her once-proud eye for talent seemed to have a serious problem.

Because of this unresolved issue in her heart, on the night after the engagement banquet, Shen Qinghan refused Gu Ziming's request to live together, citing the need to "cool down for a while and take good care of her pregnancy."

Although the two were officially engaged and became a married couple, Shen Qinghan still insisted on living in her villa and maintaining a separate relationship with Gu Ziming.

8 PM.

In the spacious and luxurious living room on the first floor of the villa, a crystal chandelier emitted a cool white light.

"Xinyu, look! Zimo's dad came to see you, and he brought you the latest toys!"

Gu Ziming, dressed in an expensive casual suit and carrying an exaggerated, brightly colored, huge plastic box, walked into the living room with a big smile on his face.

As he changed into his slippers, he called out to Shen Xinyu, who was sitting on the carpet playing with building blocks, in that affected, cloying voice.

Shen Qinghan, dressed in loose loungewear, sat on the sofa, holding a glass of warm milk in her hand, her brows furrowed slightly.

Shen Xinyu stopped building with blocks when she heard the sound.

The little girl raised her head, and her clear, big eyes, which looked just like Jiang Ye's, no longer sparkled with excitement and anticipation as before. Instead, they revealed a clear sense of resistance and alienation.

"Come on, Xinyu, see if you like it? This is a limited edition Barbie castle!"

Gu Ziming walked to the edge of the carpet, placed the huge box in front of Shen Xinyu, and reached out to touch the little girl's head.

Shen Xinyu nimbly shrank back, dodging Gu Ziming's hand.

She glanced down at the packaging box.

"I don't like it."

Shen Xinyu pouted, her voice childish yet firm.

"Besides, you're not my dad. I only have one dad, and his name is Jiang Ye. From now on, I won't call you Zi Mo Dad."

The little girl's words were like a resounding slap in the face, mercilessly striking Gu Ziming's cheek.

Gu Ziming's smile froze instantly, a sinister glint flashing deep in his eyes. If Shen Qinghan hadn't been sitting next to him, he would have loved to slap this little bastard across the face!

"Xinyu, how can you be so rude?"

Shen Qinghan put down the milk cup in her hand. Although she was scolding her daughter, her tone was not very stern.

She stood up, walked to the carpet, and her gaze fell on the so-called "limited edition" toy.

After just one glance, Shen Qinghan's face darkened.

With the discerning eye of the eldest daughter of the Shen family, how could she not see it?

This is not a limited edition at all; it's clearly a cheap counterfeit that you can buy for a few dozen yuan at a street stall!

The edges of the packaging box even had rough burrs, and the pungent plastic smell made even an adult like her feel dizzy, let alone a young child!

"Zi Mo, Xin Yu is still young and her respiratory system is fragile. Let's not buy toys with such a strong smell in the future," Shen Qinghan said coldly, suppressing his displeasure.

Gu Ziming cursed inwardly, but on the surface he quickly put on a look of annoyance.

"Oh dear, Qinghan, I'm so sorry! I was tricked by the toy seller. He said it was made of imported environmentally friendly materials. I'm usually too busy with work and don't know much about these kids' toys. Next time I'll definitely be more careful and buy the best from the official store!"

Shen Qinghan didn't reply. She simply picked up the cheap toy and threw it into a trash can some distance away.

Seeing this, Gu Ziming almost ground his back teeth to powder, but he could only force himself to endure it.

. .

10 PM.

After the nanny coaxed Shen Xinyu to sleep, she left the room.

Shen Qinghan took a shower, changed into a silk slip dress, and dragged her somewhat tired body back to the master bedroom on the second floor.

She froze as soon as she opened the door.

Gu Ziming had finished showering sometime earlier, and was wearing only a bathrobe. He was leaning casually against her large bed, holding a glass of red wine in his hand, his eyes gleaming with an undisguised, naked lust.

"You...why haven't you left yet?" Shen Qinghan subconsciously took a step back, his brows furrowed tightly.

"Qinghan, what are you saying? We're engaged, I'm your fiancé, where else am I supposed to sleep if not here?"

Gu Ziming put down his wine glass, lifted the covers and got out of bed, approaching Shen Qinghan step by step.

He looked at Shen Qinghan's fair and rosy skin, which was flushed from her recent bath, and the alluring curves that were faintly visible beneath her silk nightgown. His Adam's apple bobbed violently, and desire burst forth from his eyes.

Since Shen Qinghan became pregnant, Gu Ziming hadn't touched her for a long time because of the baby. Tonight, looking at his aloof and beautiful fiancée, he could no longer suppress the lustful fire in his heart.

"Qinghan, you've been telling me to calm down these past few days, and I've listened to you. Tonight, let me spend some quality time with you..."

As Gu Ziming spoke, he reached out and suddenly pulled Shen Qinghan into his arms, then lowered his head to kiss her lips.

"What are you doing! Let go of me!"

A strong sense of resistance and nausea welled up in Shen Qinghan's heart. She twisted her body desperately and pushed against Gu Ziming's chest with both hands.

"Gu Ziming! Are you crazy?! The doctor said I'm in the early stages of pregnancy! The fetus is unstable! We absolutely cannot have sex!" Shen Qinghan shouted sternly.

However, Gu Ziming, who was blinded by desire, was no longer able to listen to any of this.

"Oh dear, Qinghan, don't be so nervous! The doctor was just trying to scare you! As long as I'm gentle and careful, I definitely won't hurt the baby!"

Gu Ziming not only didn't let go, but hugged her even tighter. His large hands began to wander restlessly around Shen Qinghan's waist, and he even tried to pull on the shoulder straps of her nightgown.

"Let go! I said no, and that means no!"

Shen Qinghan was furious.

She didn't know where the strength came from, but she suddenly raised her hand and, with a loud "slap," delivered a resounding slap to Gu Ziming's face!
