Shu Pan left the hospital and got into her car, heading to a nearby shopping mall. She realized that her belly was getting bigger, and she didnât have many clothes that fit anymore. She decided to take this opportunity while in Bin City to buy some new clothes.
After all, Bin City had more options compared to Lotus Town, and she planned to return to Lotus Town once Xiaomeng recovered.
However, she didnât know when she would come back again.
This city used to hold deep affection for her, but now it was just associated with pain. All he needed was an excuse, and he could achieve his goal of divorce.
As she looked out of the car window at the scenery, her mood turned somewhat melancholic.
Upon arriving, she purposefully went to a Maternal & Child store.
After shopping, she returned to the place where Xiaomeng used to stay and put down the items. She planned to replace Uncle Ye and Auntie later so that they could come back and rest.
The next day was still sunny. Shu Pan arrived at the hospital early and realized that it had been a while since her prenatal checkup. Coincidentally, the hospital she was in now was the one where Dr. Wen Chi practiced.
She asked around and found out that Dr. Wen was on duty today. She registered for a checkup.
Since she arrived early, there werenât many people, and she was seen quite quickly.
As she entered, Dr. Wen Chi happened to look up at her. He seemed surprised and asked as he stood up, âWhy did you come? Werenât you in Lotus Town? Did something happen?â
âDr. Wen, I happened to be in Bin City, so I thought Iâd come in for a prenatal checkup. Nothingâs wrong.â Shu Pan smiled gently.
âI just happen to have a business trip to study in Lotus Town. I was planning to visit you then.â Wen Chi said.
He always felt something unusual around Shu Pan. Even though there were so many charming women around him, none of them caught his eye. Yet, he found himself interested in a divorced, pregnant woman. He couldnât help but wonder if his taste had become a bit unconventional.
âYouâre welcome anytime.â Shu Pan handed the registration form to Dr. Wen Chi.
âYouâve lost a lot of weight. Whatâs going on?â Dr. Wen Chi noticed she was thinner than the last time he saw her. Most women gain weight during the middle of pregnancy, but she had lost a lot.
âItâs hot weather, and my appetite hasnât been great. But everything else is fine.â Shu Panâs belly was quite pronounced now.
Dr. Wen Chi performed the checkup and found no issues, advising her to take care of herself and her diet.
After Shu Pan left, Dr. Wen Chi contemplated for a moment and decided to visit her when he had the chance.
On the day before her discharge, Ye Xiaomeng finally agreed to see Cheng Yang. She stared at him resolutely and said, âIâve thought a lot these past few days. Last night, I came to a decision. Iâve loved you for 10 years. I thought we would have a good ending, but given the current situation, thereâs no need to continue. What I said at the wedding was true. From now on, letâs treat each other as strangers.â
âXiaomeng, weâve been together for so long. Please give me a chance
âCheng Yang, itâs too late. I gave you a chance, but now I canât love anymore, and I donât want to.â
âThen let me love you from now on. Can I do that?â Cheng Yang held Xiaomengâs hand, pleading.
Ye Xiaomeng pulled her hand away, her eyes reddened, and she choked, âLet go of me. Letâs part ways like this. Now that thereâs no child to bind us, I hope we can separate amicably.â
âMengmeng, we will have children in the future. Please donât let go of me. Letâs start over, okay?â Cheng Yang said anxiously.
âCheng Yang, itâs truly too late. Take care of yourselves.â After saying that, Ye
Xiaomeng lay down on the bed, turned to the side, and tears soaked her pillow..
