He Xiyan walked along the road and she would have to walk close to 1,000 meters before she arrived at her residence. She was afraid that others would hara.s.s her and was also afraid that he might come to visit again, so she rented her apartment out and was now living in an apartment that Ye Hao had found on her behalf. This was the East Chen district of Shen City and was more than 10 kilometers from her previous residence.

As though she sensed danger, she looked warily around her surroundings but was still startled when a black commercial car parked along the side of the road.

The window slowly rolled down and the person in the car stuck out his head to greet her.

“He Xiyan…” A man’s voice called out to her and the surprise was clear in his voice.

Similarly, He Xiyan was stunned.

As recognition dawned, she immediately turned away and her heart pounded so fast it was as though it was about to burst.

Yang Mingyu got out of the car and ignored the fact that he could not park in this place.

He stared fixedly at her belly.

Oh my G.o.d! Her belly was so big. Was she about to give birth?

“You…” As he studied her swollen belly, his eyes widened in disbelief.

He Xiyan’s gripped her hands tightly, her palms full of sweat. Sweat beaded across her forehead as well. The person in front of her used to be her schoolmate and was a friend of both Mo Yixuan and herself. She was very close to him but the sight of him now caused her to freeze in terror and she was unable to say anything.

“Is this Yixuan’s child?” Yang Mingyu gripped her shoulders and voiced his biggest suspicion.

He Xiyan immediately shook her head. This was her child.

However, her denial did not ease his suspicion. Her belly was so huge that it meant she was due anytime soon. If this child was not Yixuan’s, then whose child could it be?

“Let’s go! I’ll buy you a meal!” Yang Mingyu dragged He Xiyan into his car and drove to a nearby restaurant.

“Mingyu,” He Xiyan said as she looked at the man in front of her, “Could you keep this secret for me? I’m begging you!” She became a little agitated and her face was flushed. She truly did not want him to know for she was afraid they would take her child away once they found out. She was even more afraid that Xia Yuwei would harm her child.

Yang Mingyu frowned and felt very bad for this woman. He remembered Yixuan mentioning that He Xiyan was infertile. How then could this child have come about? Did he make up this story in order to openly get together with Xia Yuwei? How could he have been so shameless?

“Xiyan, what are your plans?” Was she going to deprive her child of a father forever?

He Xiyan shook her head.

“It is alright. Mingyu, I have already recovered from my heartbreak. I will take good care of this child on my own and will make sure that this child will not suffer. Don’t tell him this. What good would it do even if he knew? Xia Yuwei is about to give birth soon and he will only love their child. Furthermore, he has never once loved me.” She looked away, tears swimming in her eyes.

She had been abandoned along with her child. Now, all she had was her child.

Yang Mingyu heaved a long sigh and his eyes filled with sorrow. He rubbed at his temples and felt a headache coming on. He also felt bad for his friend, but what could he do now? Xia Yuwei was apparently due to give birth this month. If Xia Yuwei knew of the existence of this child, someone as vicious and close-minded as her….he did not dare to imagine what she might do.

Yixuan, you are definitely going to regret this!

His hands clenched into fists and he heavily slammed a fist onto the table as though he wanted to smash it into pieces. He was so enraged he suddenly felt like beating somebody up.

“Mingyu…” He Xiyan quickly patted him on the shoulder when she clocked his rage.

“Alright, I’m fine!” Mingyu sighed once more. “Xiyan, I will keep this secret for you. However, you must take good care of yourself and your child. If you need any a.s.sistance, you may look for me. I visit this place frequently for business.”

“Thank you, Mingyu.” He Xiyan shot him a relieved smile.

Yang Mingyu nodded but kept his eyes fixed on her swollen belly. Then, he blinked hard but could not erase the sympathy and pity from his eyes.
