Chapter 1: Goodbye, Fu Sijue

Gestation: eight weeks

Seeing those four characters on the ultrasound report, Lu Xiwán was stunned for a moment, then intense elation surged in her eyes.

After three years of marriage, she finally had Fu Sijue's child.

Back then she had dragged Fu Sijue through three days of heavy snow, which gave her a cold uterus; she thought she had lost the right to be a mother for life…

She never expected she would actually have this child!

Lu Xiwán could hardly wait to tell Fu Sijue the news herself.

She had the driver take her to Hengshan Gongguan. These days, Fu Sijue has been staying at the mansion for company matters and hasn't returned home.

She misses him a lot.

If he learns the news, he should return to the Fu Family to stay with her for the delivery…

Thinking of that, Lu Xiwán's heart filled with sweetness.

After a short while.

The car stopped in front of Hengshan Gongguan; Lu Xiwán stepped out, full of anticipation. As she pushed open the mansion's door, she saw the tall, handsome figure of a man in the Living Room, and Lu Xiwán exclaimed happily, "Fu Sijue, I…"

But before she could finish, she finally saw that a beautiful woman stood beside Fu Sijue.

She, too, wore loose clothing, her abdomen slightly rounded.

Fu Sijue's hand was intimately supporting her, the two of them a perfect, messy pair.

Gu Qingmeng… Fu Sijue's former white moonlight.

Lu Xiwán's heart felt as if it had been violently seized, until Fu Sijue's cold voice startled her awake: "What are you doing here?"

Lu Xiwán finally met his gaze and, hoarsely, asked, "How did she get here?"

"That has nothing to do with you."

Fu Sijue frowned, his eyes flicking over her; considerately shielding Gu Qingmeng's abdomen as he passed her, he asked his assistant, "Is everything ready?"

"President Fu, the car is waiting outside, and the hospital side has already been notified."

Lu Xiwán then realized that Fu Sijue was going to accompany Gu Qingmeng for a prenatal check‑up…

Recalling her earlier joy, Lu Xiwán suddenly felt a bit ridiculous.

Originally, Fu Sijue married her only because Fu's old master forced him, which made him very cold toward her.

These years, she has poured all her effort into being a good Fu wife, trying to win back her husband's heart, fully believing that this child could bring even a sliver of warmth to their icy relationship.

But it turned out to be only her one‑sided wish.

Tears slightly wet her eyes; she reached out and grabbed Fu Sijue, humbly hoping for one last chance.

Her voice at the mouth trembled: "Fu Sijue, aren't you going to give me an explanation?"

Fu Sijue examined her expression, his eyes a shade darker, flashing a hint of hesitation and emotion.

At that moment, Gu Qingmeng beside him also clutched his sleeve, biting her lip in pleading: "Sijue, I feel terrible right now; can you take me to the hospital first? The one in my womb is the Fu Family's eldest grandson…"

Eldest grandson—Gu Qingmeng's words pierced Lu Xiwán's heart like needles.

Lu Xiwán's throat seemed blocked; she stared at Fu Sijue with tear‑blurred eyes: "Is what she said true?"

Fu Sijue moved the arm that Lu Xiwán had grabbed; Lu Xiwán's eyes instantly lit up, but before Fu Sijue could act, Gu Qingmeng beside him turned pallid, clutching her belly and crying out in pain.

He immediately shook off the arm Lu Xiwán had held, bent down and hoisted Gu Qingmeng sideways, his deep ink‑black eyes gazing intently at Lu Xiwán, his tone low: "I'll take her to the hospital first; we can discuss anything else later."

He strode past Lu Xiwán toward the car.

Lu Xiwán's heart instantly felt like it had plunged into a cold pool, despair and pain instantly engulfing her.
