After five years of a cold marriage, I can no longer hide the child I secretly gave birth to.

He paused for a moment, then realized what was happening. He took Mengmeng's hand, gave Xu Daikui a wink, and the two walked over.

"Dr. Milan, this is my niece."

Shen Jun took the initiative to introduce himself.

Milan glanced at the pink and white baby, then noticed the woman standing behind her, whose facial features resembled the baby's.

She looked him over carefully and couldn't help but ask Shen Jun, "Is she the child's mother?"

Shen Jun quickly denied it, "No, she's my...good friend."

Milan glanced back and forth between them for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's quite popular to choose not to get married abroad."

She assumed the baby in front of her was the child Xu Daikui and Shen Jun had secretly had together, since they weren't married but had a child before marriage.

After all, the little girl looks too much like Xu Daikui.

As she spoke, she turned to look at Zhou Yanci, "Yanci, what do you think of this relationship model of having a child before marriage?"

She knew Zhou Yanci had a wife, so she guessed he wasn't interested in this kind of relationship.

Zhou Yanci's gaze swept over Xu Daikui's delicate and petite face. After a long while, his tone was as cold and hard as if it were covered with ice.

"That's pretty immoral."

His relentless rebuttal delighted Xu Jiaojiao, who was standing to the side.

She suppressed the smile playing on her lips, pursed her lips, and interjected, "Dr. Milan, you've been living abroad, so you must have been influenced by the marriage practices there. In China, it's still common to bind someone with a marriage certificate, but there are still people who like to have affairs..."

"Moreover, we don't have children after marriage here. It's called premarital pregnancy, or to put it bluntly, having a child through illicit intercourse. You could drown a person in spit."

Xu Daikui clearly understood who she was referring to, whether explicitly or implicitly.

But she didn't intend to explain; Xu Meng's identity required a suitable shield.

Since they've already formed their own opinions and believe that's what they're thinking, then that's for the best.

She used to try to explain, but he didn't want to listen.

From now on... let's leave it at that.

Anyway, Zhou Yanci also cheated on her. He flaunted Xu Jiaojiao in public every day, knowing full well that she cared, but he didn't care at all that she would also be in pain.

I never explained it to her.

Loving him was the biggest regret of her life.

Moreover, he did cheat, so he didn't lose out.

They should just consider it as each of them having cheated and each of them being sorry.

It would be best if, for this reason, he could get a clean divorce so they would never have to see each other again.

Shen Jun also sensed Xu Jiaojiao's overt and covert hostility. His handsome brows furrowed, and he retorted coldly, "Adultery is most likely due to the husband's infidelity, which is not a serious crime. It is the person who interferes in someone else's marriage and destroys someone else's family who is unforgivable and would be drowned in the pond in ancient times."

This was the first time Xu Jiaojiao had directly faced Shen Jun's hostility, and her sense of crisis was rising steadily.

The fingers were deeply embedded in the flesh.

She thought that by taking advantage of Xu Daikui's beating of her, she could win over everyone in the world and make them side with her.

She thought that by making Xu Daikui lose her job, she had won.

But Shen Jun actually favored Xu Daikui.

He is the third man whose heart has strayed.

While keeping Shen Jun on her toes, Xu Daikui was also colluding with Wang Guang and even planning to open a pet hospital. She had a very clear understanding of every move Shen Jun made.

They want to open a pet hospital and squeeze out Pet Home, but she will never let them succeed.

"Aci, now that Dr. Milan has given the prescription for Auntie, shall we go get the medicine?"

She bit her red lips, concealing her anger as she glanced at the cold-faced man beside her.

Zhou Yanci lowered his eyes, his face frosty, and said, "Mm."

He agreed, stood up, nodded slightly to Dr. Milan, and left with Xu Jiaojiao without looking back.

Xu Daikui could even feel the chill emanating from his body as he brushed past her, freezing the air.

Ha ha.

All that remained for her was countless irony.

My heart is weary to the bone.

"Shen Jun, take Mengmeng to your office first. I need to talk to Dr. Milan alone."

She swallowed the bitter taste in her throat and looked at him.

Hearing about many treatments would affect Xu Meng's mental health.

"it is good."

Shen Jun bent down, picked up Xu Meng, and went out.

Where is the child's father?

The room quieted down, and Dr. Milan adjusted his glasses, gesturing for her to sit opposite him.

Xu Daikui sat down, adjusted her facial expression, and said, "She didn't have a father; she grew up in a single-parent family."

"She wasn't your daughter with Dr. Shen?"

Milan narrowed her eyes, observing the woman's expression, which seemed to indicate emotional distress.

Could it be that she is divorced? Then wasn't she wrong just now?

This doctor seems to have a good relationship with Zhou Yanci, and Xu Daikui doesn't want her to know too much.

She simply said, "Yes, she is Dr. Shen's cousin's child, but I have been taking care of her all these years."

"All right."

It's not surprising that the child has psychological problems.

"How about this?"

Dr. Milan looked at her and said, "Now tell me everything about your child's behavior and habits from birth to now, in great detail. I need to use the environment to determine whether her aphasia is caused by psychological factors."

"OK."

Xu Daikui described in detail the unusual things that had happened to Mengmeng since she was one year old.

...

Shen Jun carried Xu Meng down to the first floor and bumped into Zhou Yanci coming out of Xu Jiaojiao's office.

As they brushed past each other, he couldn't help but say, "If you have someone you love, why not give them freedom?"

Xu Daikui has brought up divorce many times, but Zhou Yanci has remained silent.

He ignored Xu Daikui and flirted with Xu Jiaojiao without regard for others. With his overwhelming power, Xu Daikui was powerless against him and could only be depressed every day.

He couldn't bear to look at it.

Zhou Yanci stopped in his tracks, his gaze sweeping over him before finally settling on Xu Meng's delicate and bright eyes.

A moment later, he scoffed, "You're really taking it seriously, aren't you? You have no boundaries? Think you can get what you want so easily? Dream on!"

Shen Jun, "?"

Sensing the hostility emanating from him, Shen Jun frowned. "Have you misunderstood something?"

"Mengmeng is my cousin's child."

Remembering something, he clarified it again.

Although he wanted Zhou Yanci and Xu Daikui to part amicably as soon as possible, he also didn't want to continue to see Xu Daikui as that kind of immoral, adulterous woman.

That silly woman, I used to like her.

In the end, it should have a good outcome.

Oh.

His cousin's child is registered under Xu Daikui's name, looks like Xu Daikui, and also has the surname Xu.

...

*Smack--*

As the atmosphere between the two became tense, Xu Meng suddenly kissed Shen Jun's fair profile, as if she were deliberately putting on an act for Zhou Yanci to see.

She smiled and leaned closer to Shen Jun's neck.

The intimacy and trust they exuded showed no sign of acting.

A warm feeling rose in Shen Jun's heart.

Zhou Yanci felt a lump in his throat.

My heart felt as if it had been struck by a thousand hammers.

His feet were rooted to the floor, and he could hardly move for a long time.

Shen Jun ignored Zhou Yanci and simply smiled as he patted Xu Meng's head, his tone cheerful, "Daddy Shen will buy you a Barbie doll today, and tonight we'll take Aunt Xu out for a big meal, okay?"

Xu Meng nodded and hugged Shen Jun's neck tightly.

Shen Jun turned around, picked her up, and walked towards the office.

Xu Meng's gaze fell on Zhou Yanci's figure, which had not moved an inch.

Is that scumbag dad upset?

He deserved it!
