On the day I was leaving for Beijing, Xie Zhong personally took me to the airport to meet Lizi. Before boarding, he leaned close to my ear and whispered, " Meng, have fun with Lizi. If you see anything you like, buy it. Don't worry about the money." To outsiders, he seemed like a caring husband. But the more he acted this way, the more disgusted I felt. Especially after learning his true nature, his actions seemed hypocritical to the point of making me want to vomit. Nevertheless, I pretended to be happy and nodded, "Got it, husband. I'll have a great time." "Good." "Goodbye, husband." "Goodbye." He waved his hand and watched as Lizi and I passed through security before leaving with a sense of relief.
I stood at the security checkpoint, looking back at his retreating figure, feeling a mix of emotions. He was in such a hurry; he must be going to find Xia Ranran. At that moment, Lizi walked over and gently patted my shoulder. " Meng, we should go." I nodded, "Okay." Together with Lizi, I boarded the plane.
As the plane took off, I gazed out at the blue sky and white clouds, feeling a wave of bitterness in my heart. Goodbye, Xie Zhong.
Three hours later, the plane arrived in Beijing. Lizi and I disembarked and exited the airport. Just as we reached the door, Lizi suddenly asked me, "Are you really going to do this?" "Yes." "You..." " Lizi, if you consider me a friend, don't try to persuade me because I won't listen." Lizi sighed, "Alright then."
I hailed a taxi outside the airport and was about to get in when Lizi suddenly called out to me. " Meng!" I turned around to look at her. "Are you... really going to do this?" "Yes." "No regrets?"
"Never regret."
"Then... I support you."
"Thank you."
"Who says we aren't good friends?"
"Right, we are lifelong good friends."
"Mm!"
The taxi door closed.
Through the car window, I saw Lizi standing there, tears glistening in her eyes.
I closed my eyes and silently said, " Lizi, I'm sorry."
An hour later, the taxi arrived at Xia Ranran's place.
As soon as I got out of the car, a man in black approached me.
"Miss Sun, you've arrived."
"Is there any news these days?"
"Xie Zhong comes by every day; sometimes he even stays overnight."
I bit my lip and replied, "Okay, I understand."
"Miss Sun, do you want to go up now?"
"No, I'll wait for him downstairs."
"Alright."
I walked over to a bench and sat down, quietly waiting for Xie Zhong's arrival.
The paparazzo stood not far away, watchfully scanning the surroundings.
Around five in the afternoon, a familiar black Mercedes slowly drove into the community.
Xie Zhong got out of the car and quickly walked toward the elevator.
I exchanged glances with the paparazzo; he understood immediately and followed him.
I stood downstairs, watching Xie Zhong's disappearing figure, feeling a chill in my heart.
Xie Zhong, if I don't see you with Xia Ranran myself, I will never give up.
The news that Lizi found out was that Xie Zhong did not appear at the place he originally planned to go.
However, a friend of Lizi unexpectedly discovered that Xia Ranran was taking a taxi with a child to a certain location.
Lizi immediately informed me of this news.
I was shocked to find out that the place Xia Ranran was going to was actually the home we once shared together.
Xie Zhong, are you really that impatient?
I had just left when you brought Xia Ranran home? You did this because you were sure I would never discover your secret, right? I stood at the entrance, holding the key to my house. Just as I was about to unlock the door, I heard the sound of a child crying inside.
"Wah wah wah—"
The child's cries were loud, completely drowning out the sound of me opening the door. I opened the door and quietly stepped inside. In the foyer, there was a pair of women's leather shoes that didn't belong to me. The slippers I usually kept there were nowhere to be found.
I cautiously moved forward, the child's cries intermittent. It wasn't until I reached the living room that I saw what was happening on the sofa.
As I finally took in the scene on the living room sofa, a wave of intense nausea washed over me. Xie Zhong, Xia Ranran, how could you… How could you…
They were sitting on the sofa, embracing each other and kissing passionately. They held each other without a care in the world, as if they were the legitimate couple. And I was just a sad and pitiful intruder.
"Wah wah wah—" The child's cries continued. I turned my head to look at the little life lying in the stroller. He was so small, so innocent. Yet his existence felt like a disgrace to me.
I couldn't accept that the man I had loved for so many years had a child with another woman. I couldn't accept that the home I once considered a refuge had become another woman's nest.
