That scene was so beautiful, just like how a television drama would do it, a post-production romantic cut.
It was after she married Qin Yinan that she found out the news that Song Qingchun and Su Zhinian were siblings from different mothers. Words couldn't even describe how shocked she had been.
To prevent Qin Yinan from marrying Song Qingchun, she had even taken advantage of Qin Yinan when he was drunk and climbed into his bed. She had even sought help from a friend to create a fake pregnancy to force Qin Yinan to give up on Song Qingchun. She had thought that way, the man that she loved would have the chance to finally marry the girl that he loved, but who would have thought that fate had other plans in mind?
She had cried that night when she found out the truth. She had cried for herself and for Su Zhinian, who had loved Song Qingchun for so many years.
Only God knew how happy she was at Song Empire's anniversary, when she found out Su Zhinian and Song Qingchun weren't actual biological siblings. The Adonis that she had silently loved for so many years was finally going to get his happy ending; how could she not be happy?
Especially tonight, when she saw they kiss openly under the night sky, she felt glad. However, after the gladness washed over, her heart dropped. As she had wished, Su Zhinian and Song Qingchun finally had their happy ending.
But what about her? Her life was a veritable mess. She wasn't pregnant, but Qin Yinan's parents, her parents, and Qin Yinan himself thought she was pregnant. She wondered how long she could fake this pregnancy.
Even though her sole purpose of marrying Qin Yinan was to stop him from marrying Song Qingchun, she couldn't just ask for a divorce after her mission was accomplished. She came from a traditional family, and she couldn't forget how happy her parents were when she told them she was getting married. She didn't think they could survive the shock and disappointment of her divorce.
However, after Qin Yinan found out she wasn't really pregnant, he would definitely divorce her, right?
There wasn't really an emotional foundation between them. They had been married for more than half a month already, but they still treated each other like guests. In fact, Qin Yinan did slip and call her Miss Cheng several times when they were alone. Therefore, to swindle him into bed to make the fake pregnancy real was out of question.
The more Cheng Qingchong thought about it, the greater her headache. She raised her fingers to her temples to massage them as she slowly closed her eyes.
Cheng Qingchong pushed open the door to see Qin Yinan, who was packing his suitcase in the living room. Qin Yinan turned towards the noise, and when he saw her, he greeted, "Welcome home."
Cheng Qingchong nodded in acknowledgement. She changed into a pair of slippers as she walked into the house. She stared at his suitcase for a while before asking, "Are… you leaving for work?"
"Yes, going to Shanghai. Leaving tomorrow and will be back two days after." Qin Yinan placed the folded shirts in the suitcase. Suddenly, he pointed at a bag that was placed on the couch. "Right, that is for you."
For me? Cheng Qingchong was startled before she bent down to pick up the bag and opened it. A pair of flats was sitting inside.
"Since you're pregnant, it's unwise to keep wearing heels…" As Qin Yinan started to explain, Cheng Qingchong's fingers shook, and the flats fell to the floor.
"What's wrong?" Qin Yinan stopped what he was doing and turned towards her with concern. "Why do you look so pale?"
