Hello, Heir

But her own child...

When it was three months old, where had it been? Did anyone take care of it? When it was hungry or thirsty, did anyone feed it milk? If it urinated, had there been anyone who changed its diapers?

Was her child a boy or a girl? Did it look more like her or Shi Jinyan?

Her child...

Si Jingyu felt as if all the air had left her lungs, and a pressing pain in her chest forced her to bend over.

But bending down didn’t help alleviate her pain at all. She still felt as if something was being sucked out of her.

Her eyes grew teary.

Ever since she returned home, she had refrained from visiting the two children precisely because she had wanted to avoid a scenario like this.

This day, however, she hadn’t been able to resist it.

These two children would soon call her Auntie.

But where was the child that would call her Mother?

Si Jingyu clenched her fists, and her body slid down the wall toward the floor.

The iciness of the floor pierced through her clothes and into her bones, turning her heart cold.

Then, she felt something warm flow down her face. It landed heavily on the floor and scattered into smaller droplets.

Pursing her lips and using the back of her hand to wipe away her tears, she looked toward Si Zhengting’s room. Not daring to enter the room, she stood up and quietly left the villa instead.

She drove around Beijing aimlessly once more.

The tears in her eyes had no way of going back in.

Despite her tears, she managed to park her car by the side of a road. She sized up Beijing’s nighttime landscape through her car window.

It was a large city and a prosperous capital. And yet, there was nowhere in it that she could call home.

She bit her lips and lowered her head, sighing. But just as she was about to drive off, she turned her head toward the view once more and was now flabbergasted.

The surroundings, both familiar and yet foreign, stunned her.

How had she unknowingly come here?

She bit her lips once more and looked out of another window.

She spotted an office building with a large sign hanging around six to seven floors up in the air that read, “Hua Pu Company Private Limited.”

Hua Pu... was the name of Shi Jinyan’s company.

She had frequented the building upon marriage with Shi Jinyan.

It had all been because of Shi Jinyan’s cold attitude toward her. She had thought, “How can we be so cold to each other now that we’re already married?”

So, she had made him meals and regularly brought them over to his office.

They had just gotten married at that point in time.

She had been so blissful during her honeymoon period that even the pain that the issue of her child gave her had diminished.

She had been full of hope for the marriage and had tried hard to make it work.

But him?

Him?

Si Jingyu’s eyes became a little dazed as she thought of him.

When they had first gotten married, it was undeniable that he had treated her well, especially in bed. They complemented each other so well that it had seemed like they were made for each other.

But... why were they now keeping a respectful distance apart?
