The moon peeped out from behind the treetops. On the vast sea, a luxurious two-floor ship was lit as bright as day in the dark night, and there were continuous flirting and moaning voices coming from inside.Shen Zhiwei, who was seven months pregnant, pushed open a VIP room on the second floor.A nauseating and erotic smell greeted her immediately.She looked into the room, only to see a dozen naked men moving back and forth with the blasting music, penetrating the beautiful unclothed women bent over in the center of them.She was shocked by this promiscuous scene, and coarse words kept punching her eardrums.She felt like throwing up, but she did not turn her head. Her eyes fell on a man and woman on the sofa.In the dim light, she saw the woman straddle the man's lap.The woman covered the man's hand that was kneading her snow-white breast with her own. Her black stockings were torn apart, and the hem of her sexy dress was pulled up to her waist, revealing the private part of

Shen Zhiwei could not tell if she was in a dream or reality.In a daze, she felt that someone had suddenly smacked her hard in the face. She was startled and sat up in the bed, which caused the cut on her abdomen to burst open. Her face turned pale instantly from the pain, and her forehead was covered in cold sweat.The air smelled of disinfectant.She realized that she was in a hospital.Two women were standing at her bedside.They were no other than her stepmother, Zhou Jin, and her younger sister, Shen Rou, who was said to be dead."Sis, you didn't expect me to be back, did you?"Shen Rou stared smilingly at Shen Zhiwei like a pretentious bitch."No, I didn't. What a pity. I didn't forget to burn incense in front of your tombstone in your memory on every anniversary of your death."Shen Zhiwei sat up somewhat straight, her pale lips curling into a cold sneer."B*tch, how dare you curse your sister?"Zhou Jin slapped Shen Zhiwei in the face once more.Shen Zhiwei was too

For almost half a month, Shen Zhiwei laid in bed, resting at the hospital.While her husband cheated on her, and her family betrayed her.The nurses who watched her only felt pity, worried that she might crumble one day. Only, she did not. She prevailed persistently as if completely unfazed, visiting her son every day at the incubation ward.She gazed down at the wrinkled, rosy cheeks of her baby plumping out the gently. He was still very small, but she could see Bo Yan in him.Her lean, weakened fingers slowly and gently traced the smooth and limber skin of her precious baby boy's face...Motherly love permeated from her very being, her gaze filled with utmost adoration—she finally understood what it meant to be a mother.Watching him was enough; enough for her to feel that she owned the world."Grow up, my baby. Grow up well and healthy, my son, and Mommy will give you nothing but the very best...."She looked nothing like the strong and resolute woman she was. Whenever she c

"Do you know what you resemble now?""What?""A little bird that has been imprisoned by me for many years. And now, at the first glimpse of opportunity, you're so anxious for your taste of freedom. But...""But I'm the one who's really been imprisoned all these years, in captivity for your torment for so many years?! Yet why are you the one feeling serene and calm?!"Even the request for divorce sounded like an act of generosity and charity on her part!"With his voice heard no more, the entire office became as silent and still as a crypt.Shen Zhiwei merely stopped in her tracks when he called. But hearing nothing further, she decided not to wait. She decided that waiting wouldn't change anything after all.She was hardly surprised to see Shen Rou when she swung open the door.But she trailed around her like a stranger and marched in long strides with a straight back as she left. "Finally, Bo Yan, I'm going to leave you...""Rumble..."A thunderclap resounded in the distance

After they parted on bad terms that day, Bo Yan did not look for Shen Zhiwei even once.She did not come to him either.They reached an unprecedented deadlock.Shen Zhiwei had once decided that she would not give up regardless if he loved her or not. She believed that she could soften his heart little by little since life was long.She had even made up her mind that she would stick to him like glue for the rest of her life even if his attitude remained unchanged.However, she changed her mind, as she now was a mother. All she wanted was to live a peaceful life with her baby son, and whether he loved her or not did not matter anymore.But Bo Yan thought otherwise. He became increasingly uneasy as the deadlock continued, and he started to lose sleep. At first, he could not fall asleep until midnight; later, he was up all night, but the next day, he went to work looking as if nothing had happened.Nevertheless, the staff in his company found the ambiance suppressing.Shen Rou impl
