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

The car window rolled down, revealing Zhou Yingying's round face with her hair in a bun.

"Sister-in-law, isn't my new car cool? It's a coming-of-age gift from my older brother."

She had just turned eighteen a few days ago, and immediately went to take her driver's license test. Then she asked her older brother, who was living abroad, for a car.

She had originally wanted to ask her second brother for a car so they could take turns driving, but he hadn't come home for the past few days and wouldn't even answer her calls.

After asking around, she learned that Xu Daikui had injured Xu Jiaojiao, and her second brother must have been busy comforting Xu Jiaojiao recently.

Because of this incident, Xu Daikui was also fired from the pet hospital. She lost her job, which is why she thought of coming over to comfort her.

Xu Daikui frowned deeply when she saw her, not wanting to pay any attention to her, and turned to leave with Xu Meng in her hand.

Zhou Yingying noticed that she was holding a small baby's hand. The baby looked somewhat familiar, so she didn't pay attention to her coldness.

"Hey, isn't she that little girl? Why are you holding Xu Jiaojiao's child?"

Surprised, she quickly got out of the car, ran over, squatted down, and started touching and looking at Xu Meng here and there.

Xu Meng frowned slightly.

Auntie, have you washed your hands?

She had just seen her sitting in the car, holding a brown dog in her arms.

"Zhou Yingying, she's not Xu Jiaojiao's child. Please have some self-respect and stay away from us!"

Xu Daikui was afraid that a careless remark she made might one day become a reality, so she angrily separated them.

This was the first time Xu Daikui had yelled at herself.

A flicker of disappointment crossed Zhou Yingying's eyes before she stood up. "She's not Xu Jiaojiao's child, so could it be yours?"

"You...and my second brother?"

Thinking back to that night five years ago, her second brother and Xu Daikui slept together all night. If they had gotten pregnant on the first try, their child would be this old by now.

The more she thought about it, the more likely it seemed, so she immediately grabbed Xu Daikui's hand.

"The child is my second brother's, isn't it? When did you have this child in secret?"

"What nonsense are you spouting?"

Xu Daikui's wrist was gripped tightly by her. She irritably shook her off, trying her best to appear calm. "She's my friend's child. Your second brother knows that too."

"Your friend's child? But they look just like you!"

Zhou Yingying pouted and then widened her eyes to carefully examine Xu Meng.

Xu Meng turned her head away, her back to her, so that she wouldn't see.

"It's true. I have no reason to lie to you. Your second brother even held her. If she really was his, he wouldn't be able to tell. He's not blind."

Xu Daikui added expressionlessly.

Zhou Yingying thought for a moment. If it really was her second brother's child, there was no way her second brother wouldn't have found out.

But she looks so much like Xu Daikui that she still has to ask her second brother about it.

"Mengmeng, let's go."

Xu Daikui didn't want to see any more members of the Zhou family, so she simply picked up Xu Meng and turned to leave.

Zhou Yingying wanted to chase after her, but her car blocked the gate, and the security guards came to drive her away.

By the time she moved her car, Xu Daikui was no longer in the crowd.

It seems this time it's for real.

Xu Daikui truly never wanted to have any further contact with the Zhou family.

She used to love her second brother so much.

Xu Daikui, who was so devoted to love, eventually disappeared after being heartbroken.

What will happen to her baby in the future?

The more I think about it, the more anxious I become…

She still needs to find a way to build a new relationship with Xu Daikui as soon as possible.

Her second brother doesn't want her, but she will never treat him like a stranger.

Ten o'clock at night, at Finlan Bar.

The glittering private room was filled with the interplay of light and shadow, the aroma of expensive liquor mingling with the wild scent of tobacco.

Fu Minghao pushed open the door and entered, where he saw a man with a distant and aloof demeanor sitting in the main seat of the booth.

His long, slender fingers gripped the wine glass, lost in thought. His lips were moist and an unnatural red, indicating that he had been drinking for quite some time.

"Wow, that's rare! Even CEO Zhou has moments when he wants to get drunk?"

He remembered that in the past, he would get completely drunk in pubs, while the man would keep him company, but he was cold and rational and never drank a drop of alcohol.

Seeing the joy on his lips, Zhou Yanci slightly raised his lips, put down his wine glass, and asked, "Have you made up?"

Didn't his divorce from Tang Xuan cause a huge uproar in Beijing?

Fu Minghao should be wearing a long face right now.

"Uh...they haven't reconciled yet, but they're not getting a divorce for now, which is a happy thing."

Fu Minghao smiled and leaned against him. "Your brother is quite blessed by God. A few days ago, during the last court hearing, Xuanxuan suddenly became pregnant. The judge said that pregnancy is a special period, and the lawsuit can only be filed again after the child is safely delivered."

Zhou Yanci's eyes flashed with hesitation. "Tang Xuan agreed?"

Fu Minghao nodded, "That's right! Let me tell you, women are the most emotional. Once they have a baby, their hearts become very soft, and they will unconsciously love the child's father even more. Plus, Xuanxuan and I already have a deep relationship, so this child is truly a timely gift from God."

"This time, during my pregnancy, I will take extra care of her and make Xuanxuan change her mind. I will never give her another chance to file for divorce. I also advise you, never get a divorce. It can ruin a person's life."

Zhou Yanci listened with a smile but said nothing, and simply tilted his head back to drink another half cup of wine.

The strong, dry liquor slid down his throat and seeped into his lungs, leaving his heart feeling a dull, unpleasant blockage.

Seeing his lowered eyes and his face exuding a coldness like a deep well, Fu Minghao couldn't help but ask.

"Where's your sister-in-law? Have you seen her recently? Is she still determined to get a divorce?"

"If you ask me, stop being so cold. Put aside your pride and bring her home. You can cultivate your relationship slowly after you have a child. Just because she loves you doesn't mean she's unwilling to have your child."

child?

Zhou Yanci tightened his grip on the wine glass suddenly, and Xu Meng flashed through his mind.

"She won't."

"What do you mean you can't? You tried?"

Fu Minghao was greatly puzzled. "You two are a legitimate married couple. Even if she didn't want to, no one would say anything if you forced yourself on her. Just like Xuanxuan and me, the first time she threatened divorce, we slept together. We had a wonderful night together, and the next day Xuanxuan wasn't angry anymore. Let me tell you, relationships are built through sex. How can you have feelings if you don't sleep together?"

Zhou Yanci slowly put down his wine glass, his long, slender fingers loosening his tie.

Hearing his words, his prominent Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily, and after a moment, a sneer escaped his lips.

"She is not Xuanxuan, and I am not you."

He and Xu Daikui were different from others.

Her heart was never with him.

Children, of course, will not be born.

If she has one… then it will only be a tool she uses to take revenge on everyone.
