Gu Man looked Yun Liu up and down and said, “A woman like you is only a phase for Young Master Lan. Once the novelty wears off… Do you really think he likes you? Hah! You’re just a tool to warm his bed.”𝒂ll new st𝒐ries at n0ve/lbi/𝒏(.)c𝒐m

Gu Man snickered behind her hand. “By the way, does that childhood sweetheart brother of yours know about your affair? He’ll probably be terribly heartbroken if he does, won’t he?”

Nowadays, Yun Liu hated it when people mention Yun Zhang the most; it disgusted her. Anger boiled in Yun Liu’s heart when Gu Man brought him up. She picked up a wine bottle at the side and swung it at Gu Man.

Gu Man had never expected Yun Liu to get physical. She screamed in fear and shielded her head with her hands. However, she didn’t hear the sound of glass shattering. She carefully opened her eyes and saw Xi Cheng had Yun Liu’s wrist gripped tightly in his grasp.

Xi Cheng frowned and asked, “What do you think you’re doing?”

Gu Man threw herself into Xi Cheng’s arms and cried, “Xi Cheng, this woman is crazy! She wants to kill me!”

Xi Cheng snatched the bottle from Yun Liu’s hand and viciously glared at her.

Scared, Yun Liu took a step back. However, she didn’t expect someone to push her with great force from behind, and the momentum had her crashing toward Xi Cheng with a scream.

“”Ah!”” Both Yun Liu and Gu Man exclaimed.

Xi Cheng instantly pushed Yun Liu away after she crashed into him, causing her to hit her head on the cabinet at the side, and blood immediately flowed freely from the wound on her forehead. Yun Liu’s vision went dark, and she fainted.

Gu Man, on the other hand, was startled by the person behind Yun Liu. There Lin Yu stood, one hand supporting her huge belly and the other supporting her waist, panting heavily and glaring furiously at Xi Cheng and Gu Man.

“Lin Yu?” Xi Cheng cried out. After being stunned for a moment, he ran towards Lin Yu in surprise. He made to hug Lin Yu, but her huge pregnant stomach got between them, and Xi Cheng suddenly felt a sharp pain.

‘What?’ Xi Cheng lowered his head and looked at Lin Yu’s stomach. Lin Yu’s stomach was round and protruding, but he could also see that there was a dagger stuck in his own stomach, stabbed right to the hilt.

Xi Cheng staggered back a couple of steps, one hand on the dagger’s hilt. His panicked eyes were glued on Lin Yu as he asked, “Why?”

“It’s what you owe me!” Lin Yu replied as she regarded Xi Cheng with a calm expression.

“Ah! Ah! Xi Cheng! Xi Cheng!” Gu Man screamed in fright behind him.

Xi Cheng didn’t turn around. He just stared dazedly at Lin Yu and uttered, “I’ve been looking for you for a long time. I couldn’t find you.”

A faint smile that didn’t reach her eyes appeared on Lin Yu’s face, and her tone was gentle when she remarked, “Is that so? You looked for me? You couldn’t find me, so you found another woman to replace me, is that right?”

A little anxious, Xi Cheng shook his head. “N—no, I didn’t. I—I’ve been looking for you.” He spoke with some difficulty because of the dull pain in his abdomen, but he still had things to say to Lin Yu.

Lin Yu looked at him, and her gentle tone was unchanged as she told him, “I’ve always been in your mother’s room. She has been keeping me locked up in there. I could see and hear you every time you came to find her. I heard you two talk about Fang Xi, about Gu Man, and I heard her scold me. But you never spoke in my defense. I heard you beg her to help you, but she refused. I heard everything. And after you left, I still had to endure her humiliation.”

“Xi Cheng, see, I was right by your side. I’ve always been by your side and have never left you. I love you so much, how could I possibly bear to part with you? I love you so much, so why did you betray me?”

Hands covering his abdomen, Xi Cheng stared at Lin Yu and digested her words. Finally, he thought of something, but his vision was going a little blurry, and he couldn’t see clearly. He couldn’t keep himself standing anymore; his legs went weak, and he fell to his knees on the ground. Gazing at the blood pooling on the ground, he felt a never-experienced-before panic.

He glanced up at Lin Yu and asked, “What about Mom? My mom… Where is she?”

Lin Yu looked down at him condescendingly. “She’s dead. I killed her.” Her tone was calm and gentle, without the slightest ripple in her words, as if she was saying something as common as “It’s raining outside.”

Xi Cheng’s breathing sped up, but he stubbornly clung onto consciousness and stared at Lin Yu. She took a step forward and said softly, “I’ve wanted to kill her for a long time. I’ve wanted to kill her since she was paralyzed on the hospital bed. It’s my fault; I’ve been soft-hearted and hesitant time and time again. I missed my opportunity and allowed her to survive.”

Lin Yu continued, “It’s all that b*tch Yun Nan’s fault! She ruined my plans and gave your mother the chance to turn the tables on me. Your mother actually imprisoned me, tortured me, and took revenge on me!”

“Haha, she doesn’t even care about you, her biological son, so there’s no way she would care about the child in my belly either. Then don’t blame me; I only did what I did because of her heartlessness.”

Xi Cheng fell to the ground, his face soaked in blood. ‘That’s my blood,’ he thought. ‘Strange, it’s both warm and icy cold.’ He panted and gasped heavily as his eyes stared widely up at his wife.
