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

On the 57th day of liking you, you lent me half an eraser, and our fingertips touched for a second.

[On the 109th day of liking you, you won the basketball game and treated all the girls in the class to ice cream. It was a hot day, but my heart felt warm.]

.....

[It's been 246 days since I started liking you. Do you like me a little too? Otherwise, why would you carry me to the infirmary?]

The college entrance exam is over, Zhou Yanci. Let's meet at our new school.

...

He took them out one by one, reading them word by word, his fingers trembling violently, and his eyes welling up with tears.

The person Xu Daikui likes is actually him?

How is that possible?

The truth is clearly not like that; he heard it very clearly on their wedding night.

He couldn't believe it, so he quickly spread out all the notes one by one and looked at them over and over for more than an hour.

There are a total of 1314 photos, each one expressing her burning love for him hidden deep in her heart.

It started from that time.

She developed feelings for him the moment he took her away from her father.

But all these years, he hadn't noticed anything at all.

What exactly happened?

Did Xu Daikui ever truly love him?

Love him with all your heart?

These 1314 notes cannot possibly be faked!

If it's true, then what's the story with Xu Meng?

Mu En discovered that Xu Meng was born to Shen Qin, nine months after he left.

The timing of our roommates didn't match up at all.

But there are exceptions to everything.

If the child was indeed born to Xu Daikui, then she was impersonating Shen Qin and might have even altered the birth date.

Could Mengmeng really be his daughter?

He was thrilled and felt like he had been hit by a huge surprise. He quickly gathered all the notes into the jar.

Without caring that it was late at night, he opened the car door and hurried toward Xu Daikui's house.

Halfway there, they were blocked by a tall, slender male figure.

Shen Jun was wearing a short white down jacket. His gaze first swept over the man's slightly pale handsome face, and then he looked at the jar in the man's hand.

His hand holding the jar seemed to be trembling slightly.

Moreover, that jar seems to have been displayed in the shop window by Xu Daikui; she treasured it very much.

How did it end up in his hands?

Could it be that he's just making excuses to keep harping on Xu Daikui?

He used to give in to her because he didn't want her to falsely accuse Xu Daikui, but now that he's engaged, many facts no longer matter.

He no longer needs to avoid anything.

He slightly curved his lips, the smile not reaching his eyes, and waved the bag in his hand at Zhou Yanci, "Mr. Zhou, are you going to find Mengmeng and Daikui? They're hungry and just called me to buy some snacks. I rushed back as soon as I got off work."

Zhou Yanci's gaze suddenly cracked slightly. "You live here?"

Could it be that Xu Daikui and Xu Meng were in such a hurry to get rid of me because they were afraid that Shen Jun would be jealous if he saw me?

No wonder they were all so cold to him...

Shen Jun thought for a moment, "You can understand it that way too."

"How about it? Want to go upstairs and get some of the grilled crayfish I bought?"

His writing has a strong sense of ownership.

Zhou Yanci's eyelashes drooped in a dark arc, as if his previous joy had been extinguished overnight by a bucket of cold water.

Yes, what does it prove if you once liked someone?

Love is inherently ever-changing.

He missed his chance, and he never had another.

Despite thinking this way, he still asked Shen Jun, "Xu Meng isn't your cousin's child, right?"

Shen Jun smiled and said, "No matter whose it is, it can't be yours. Mengmeng was born nine months after you went abroad. Dai Kui told me that you two only had sex once in the month before your marriage."

Due to health reasons, Xu Daikui's child was born more than a month late, and the timeline just proved that Xu Meng was not his child.

Moreover, Zhou Yanci is about to get engaged to Xu Jiaojiao. At this critical juncture, if Mengmeng's true identity is exposed, it will likely be another undeserved disaster for Xu Daikui.

"She even told you this?"

They reported every detail of when they slept together to Shen Jun.

So what does the jar of stars in his hand, representing love, mean?

It's utterly ironic.

Shen Jun remained outwardly calm, maintaining his gentle smile. "President Zhou, these things aren't really important. It's dark and windy here, too cold. Why don't we go upstairs and talk about it?"

Go up?

Want to see the harmonious daily life of this family of three?

He's not that shameless.

His knuckles, gripping the glass jar, turned deep white. His cold, dark eyes were fixed on Shen Jun, his face ashen.

"Then I wish you could be a mistress for life. You think I'll get a divorce? Not a chance!"

After uttering those harsh words, Zhou Yanci got into the car and disappeared completely into the night.

Xu Daikui had just finished washing up and gone to bed when she heard a knock on the door.

She glanced at her sleeping daughter and then slowly slipped on her slippers and went outside.

As she reached the door, she instinctively withdrew her outstretched hand, worried that Zhou Yan might have returned after leaving. After hesitating for a while, just as she was about to raise her voice to ask, Shen Jun's gentle voice came through.

"it's me."

Even through the door, he could sense the woman's cautiousness; she seemed to be wary of Zhou Yanci.

Upon hearing that it was Shen Jun, Xu Daikui opened the door without hesitation. "Why are you here so late?"

Shen Jun didn't tell her that he hadn't actually left.

He waved the beer, barbecue, and crayfish in his hand, "I couldn't sleep, so I wanted to buy you and Mengmeng some good food."

He was always very considerate and thoughtful, so Xu Daikui invited him in without much thought and asked him to sit down.

"Mengmeng is asleep, I'll chat with you."

"it is good."

As Shen Jun set out the food, he said, "By the way, I just ran into your ex-husband downstairs."

He hasn't left yet?

Xu Daikui paused in her pouring of water. "You two bumped into each other?"

"Hmm, guess what he just asked me?"

Meeting the man's gentle, smiling eyes, Xu Daikui was stunned. "What?"

"He asked if Mengmeng was my cousin's child, which means he suspects Mengmeng's identity."

"How is this possible?"

Xu Daikui's hand holding the cup trembled involuntarily, and the scalding water instantly overflowed, burning the skin on the back of her hand red.

But she felt no pain at all.

Zhou Yanci hadn't shown any abnormalities just now, so how could he suddenly start suspecting Mengmeng?

"How could you be so careless?"

Seeing that the back of her hand was scalded red, Shen Jun quickly got up, took her wrist, and led her to the sink, turning on the cold water to rinse it for her.

"Daikui, how can you be so clumsy? You keep getting yourself hurt!"

Shen Jun said helplessly, and then slowly dealt with her.

Xu Daikui didn't know why either.

Perhaps it was the deep-rooted trauma of the past decade that caused her so much pain, that now, upon hearing that he had discovered Mengmeng's identity, she felt a panic that her child was about to be taken away.

"So what was your answer?"

If he were to do a paternity test, she would only have one way out!
