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

"Why aren't you drinking? Didn't you ask me to come out and keep you company? I even left my precious Xuanxuan at home all by herself because of you."

Fu Minghao drank a few cups by himself, feeling quite bored, and then looked at the man with a gloomy expression.

Zhou Yanci's eyes were glazed over, and he slowly asked a question.

"You said last time that a woman who doesn't love you would still be willing to have your child?"

Fu Minghao narrowed his eyes. "What woman? Besides your wife, who else would be so bored as to have your child?"

"Yes, she's my wife, so naturally I have an obligation," Zhou Yanci murmured, as if trying to comfort himself.

Fu Minghao frowned again. "Old Zhou, what's wrong with you today? Did someone possess you? Who are you going to have your baby with?"

"Xu Daikui? Xu Jiaojiao?"

Which one do you actually love?

"How did you and Tang Xuan get pregnant?"

Ignoring his question, Zhou Yanci raised another one.

"This... do you really want me to tell you?"

Fu Minghao blushed. "If you really don't understand, you can search for it on a browser. It's about two people taking off their clothes, doing this first, then that..."

His brother is not interested in women, surely he knows this basic common sense?

Zhou Yanci impatiently interrupted him, "What I mean is, Tang Xuan has already filed for divorce from you, which means she hates you. Why would she still be willing to sleep with you?"

Fu Minghao thought for a moment and laughed, "You don't understand, do you? A woman saying she hates someone doesn't necessarily mean she really hates them. I'm sure Xuanxuan loves me. Besides, girls need to be coaxed. We had a really fierce argument that day, but later I took the initiative to apologize, admit my mistake, and even kneel down—the three-part act—and she softened. We slept together in the middle of the night..."

"These things should happen naturally, but if a woman really doesn't like you, it's probably very difficult to force her."

Zhou Yanci became increasingly agitated after hearing this.

Take a deep sip of wine.

Fu Minghao looked at him suspiciously, "What...what's wrong with you tonight?"

Zhou Yanci's expression was somber. "I reckon I'll soon be following in your footsteps."

Fu Minghao and Tang Xuan were in love, but Xu Daikui didn't like him. Suing him would be a piece of cake.

Once in court, it would be difficult for him not to divorce.

Before Fu Minghao could offer any further advice, his phone suddenly rang.

It was an unfamiliar number.

He answered the phone, and Bai Weiwei's soft voice came from the other end.

"Minghao, it's my birthday today. Jiaojiao and I are together. Why don't you and Yanci come over and we can have dinner together?"

Fu Minghao was surprised that even after he blocked and deleted her WeChat and phone number, she called him from a different number.

He took a deep breath before coldly saying, "Don't contact me again. I don't want Xuanxuan to misunderstand anymore."

A few days ago, the whole family took Tang Xuan for an ultrasound examination, which revealed that Tang Xuan was carrying a boy.

His parents and grandparents were overjoyed and now treat Tang Xuan like royalty.

After he promised never to have any more contact with Bai Weiwei and deleted all her contact information, Tang Xuan finally gave him a kind look.

He now has to put Tang Xuan first in everything.

"But we are clearly innocent..."

Before Bai Weiwei could say anything more, the man on the other end of the line had already hung up.

She was furious and slammed the cup to the ground.

"Tang Xuan, you're a fucking slut, a whore!"

"What's wrong? Is she throwing a tantrum at Minghao again? If you ask me, you should just go find Fu Minghao. After all, you're his first love, and Tang Xuan is just a homewrecker..."

Xu Jiaojiao raised her bright red lips and tried to persuade her.

Bai Weiwei cried, "Minghao wasn't like this before! Isn't it because that bitch is pregnant? Jiaojiao, we absolutely can't let that bastard in her belly be born!"

Xu Daikui, Zhou Yingying, Xu Meng, and their dog entered the hot pot restaurant and, while looking for a seat, happened to pass by Bai Weiwei's private room.

She vaguely heard her viciously cursing someone's unborn child. The voice was nothing like the gentle one she had used during the interview that day; instead, it carried an indescribable ruthlessness.

When she looked again and saw that the woman sitting opposite her was Xu Jiaojiao, she immediately stopped being surprised.

The saying goes, "Behind the rich, meat and wine go to waste." If they can get together like this, then Bai Weiwei must not be a good person either.

"Yingying, you're eating here too?"

At this moment, Xu Jiaojiao spotted Xu Daikui and Zhou Yingying. She ignored Xu Daikui and walked straight towards Zhou Yingying, acting as if they were very familiar with each other.

Zhou Yingying scoffed inwardly, but maintained a nonchalant expression. "Well, I came with Sister Dai Kui. What, you didn't have my second brother accompany you tonight?"

Xu Jiaojiao smiled shyly, "Aci is tired after a long day. He said he'll wait for me at the hotel's hot spring pool. I'll go back to keep him company after I finish eating."

"Heh, you guys are pretty good at this, huh? Then you'd better hurry up and get my second brother to divorce his wife and marry you, otherwise, with you following him like this without any clear explanation, everyone will think you're a mistress!"

Xu Jiaojiao's face instantly turned ugly.

After she finished her mockery, she left with Xu Daikui and the others, her fierceness evident on her face.

"Weiwei, I'll help you get rid of Tang Xuan's baby, but Xu Daikui, you have to help me get her and Aci divorced as soon as possible!"

Bai Weiwei laughed and said, "Sure, no problem. I've already successfully interviewed at her pet hospital. You know what? I also discovered something interesting the other day."

"What?" Xu Jiaojiao immediately became curious.

"At our pet hospital, the director actually has feelings for Xu Daikui. The other day when we were having dinner, he took good care of Xu Daikui the whole time. I could tell that he had impure thoughts about her."

"A slut likes to flirt and seduce men. Xu Daikui has loved seducing men since she was little."

Bai Weiwei laughed and said, "If Xu Daikui's affair with that old man is confirmed and exposed by the media, do you think Yan Ci will still drag his feet on getting a divorce?"

A deep meaning flashed in Xu Jiaojiao's eyes. "That's true. Aci is dragging his feet on the divorce because he's angry that Xu Daikui cheated on him first. If she really does something like that openly, then we'll spread the news that she's Mrs. Zhou. Even if Aci can tolerate it, his parents will definitely have zero tolerance."

"Okay, leave this to me."

Bai Weiwei picked up a glass of wine, and Xu Jiaojiao clinked glasses with her. "Okay, I'll also work on Tang Xuan's side. As long as the child is gone, it'll be a piece of cake for you to take her place."

"Yes, definitely."

Bai Weiwei spoke with great confidence.

*

"Those two getting together probably won't lead to anything good."

After Zhou Yingying sat down, she began to complain.

"You know Bai Weiwei?" Xu Daikui asked curiously.

"Yes, she's Minghao's mistress. After the car accident, intimate photos of her and Minghao were taken, which is why Tang Xuan wanted a divorce."

Xu Daikui never expected that Fu Minghao, who usually seemed to have a clear head, was actually a scumbag who couldn't control his lower body.

However, it's normal for someone who hangs out with a man like Zhou Yanci to be greedy and have his eyes on other things.

After all, it's no wonder people are influenced by what they see and hear all the time.

"Then Tang Xuan, whom you all talk about, is quite pitiful," she said calmly.

Zhou Yingying nodded, "Who says otherwise? Luckily, she's pregnant now. The Fu family has completely abandoned Bai Weiwei. She's only able to gain status because of her child, and now the Fu family spoils her rotten."

Upon hearing that she was pregnant, Xu Daikui thought of herself.

Thinking of Zhou Yanci's words, she decided to have a child with him.

What traps women is never marriage, but children.

Is Zhou Yanci also trying to use the child to tie himself down?

He doesn't love her, yet he wants to possess her; he no longer seems to be the sunny, upright young man he once was.

She would never let him have his way.

.....

The meal was enjoyed with laughter and conversation, although Zhou Yingying and Nibao were the ones trying their best to make her and Xu Meng laugh throughout.

But the food was quite satisfying.

As the three walked out of the hot pot restaurant, Xu Daikui spotted a familiar Maybach parked in a corner not far away.

Zhou Yingying saw it too.

Angrily, she grabbed Xu Daikui and turned to walk towards her own car.

"He came to pick up Xu Jiaojiao, he must be itching to take a bath with her, he has no bottom line."

Xu Daikui sat in her Ferrari, smiled faintly, and said nothing.
