“Alright, so he hit you the previous time, but did you take a picture as proof?” Cheng Tao asked calmly without a trace of sympathy as he cut a slice of pizza for Xia Yuwei.

Xia Yuwei nodded.

“I took a few photographs as proof and even kept a backup in my mailbox.” Xia Yuwei felt like crying when she saw the food that man had left on her plate.

She remembered that in the past, he had doted on her. When they were still in school, he would do his best to make her happy whenever she was a little unhappy and despite the fact that he did not want to spend money on nice clothes and food, he would always give her something expensive whenever it was a special occasion.

However, since she married Mo Yixuan, she felt as though he no longer doted on her as much.

“That’s good.” The corners of Cheng Tao’s lips twitched to form a faint trace of a smile. He gently stroked her head, as though he was consoling her and said, “Yuwei, don’t worry. If he dares to accuse you of transferring his assets, then you should also accuse him of domestic violence. You mustn’t give in when it comes to the alimony.”

This marriage would be worth it if she could walk out of it as a rich woman.

Xia Yuwei agreed noncommittally. She didn’t seem to be able to shut her tired eyes and when she ate the food on her plate, the food tasted like wax and she lost all appetite.

She had been very emotionally unstable recently. She couldn’t hide her anxiety and didn’t even dare to return home. Her parents were not aware of the truth. If they knew the truth, they would definitely give her a good scolding.

“Senior….” Xia Yuwei pursed her lips together and tears welled up in her eyes. “Uh… Could you keep me company for a few days? All kinds of thoughts have been running through my mind when I’m alone, I’m afraid…”

Xia Yuwei took his hand in hers and pouted, just as she used to do a few years ago whenever she tried to get him to be nice to her.

She did not love this man but this was the only man by her side at this moment.

That man shook his head. If she said these things in the past, these words would have made him so overjoyed that he would lose sleep over it. However, he only scoffed coldly to himself this time.

“I’m sorry, Yuwei, I have to go home. My mum is sick, so I need to head home to take care of her.” Cheng Tao immediately rejected her, not even taking their past relationship into consideration.

On the other hand, Ye Hao carried He Xiyan along the snow covered road. The sunlight splashed on their figures and made their silhouette seem longer than they actually were. Their shadows blended perfectly together.

He Xiyan wrapped her arms around Ye Hao’s neck and buried her face in his neck. This was the first time she was carried in public by a man and she was embarrassed by this public display of affection.

“Please walk carefully.” She whispered into his ear, afraid that he would get distracted and cause both of them to fall.

More importantly, she was afraid of what would happen to her unborn child if she were to fall.

“I know!”

Ye Hao’s arms tightened around the woman. He walked very carefully and avoided the places where ice had formed.

When they returned to the car, he turned up the heater and helped her put on her seatbelt.

“Did you get a prescription? What did the doctor say?” He had only driven a few dozen meters but Ye Hao noticed that the woman beside him was frowning deeply and clutching at the corner of her clothes, as though something was troubling her.

He noticed that she was gone the moment he woke up and only found out that she was at the hospital after asking the housekeeper.He recalled her mentioning that they couldn’t do it last night because she had an infection down there and that it was swollen. He assumed that she would recover after a few days, not expecting it to be so serious that she had to go to the hospital. This was all his fault. If only he hadn’t been pestering her everyday without fail to get intimate, this wouldn’t have happened.
