Cheng Yang finally noticed the strangeness in Ye Xiaomeng’s demeanor. His heart tightened, and he murmured, “My dear, what’s wrong with you?”

“Cheng Yang, you mentioned earlier that you had something to tell me?” Ye Xiaomeng lifted her head to look at him, wondering if he was going to talk about the situation with that woman.

“Oh, it’s just that our wedding day is approaching, and I thought we could go pick out wedding dresses in our free time.” Cheng Yang’s intended words faltered on his lips, and he ended up saying this instead.

Ye Xiaomeng felt a bit disappointed. Honesty was the best policy. If things were transparent, why couldn’t he tell her? If he honestly explained that the woman was just a friend, she might believe him.

But seeing that he wasn’t going to bring it up, she decided to act like she didn’t know. However, somewhere in her heart, cracks had already started forming.

“I’ve been a bit tired these days. Let’s go another day. Maybe we should set an appointment with the bridal shop first.” Ye Xiaomeng wasn’t feeling enthusiastic at the moment. Without this issue, she would probably be overjoyed and unable to sleep.

“Alright, enjoy your noodles while they’re hot, then take a shower. You’ve been out all day and must be tired.” Cheng Yang gently patted her back as he spoke.

“Yeah.” Ye Xiaomeng nodded.

When Ye Xiaomeng emerged from her shower, she didn’t see Cheng Yang in the living room or bedroom. She was puzzled. Had he gone out?

While she was lost in thought, she suddenly heard voices coming from the balcony. The conversation was deliberately hushed, making it difficult for her to hear clearly.

She walked closer and saw Cheng Yang talking on the phone with his back turned. His tone was gentle, “Sweetie, tomorrow I’ll take you to…”

To someone unaware, it sounded like a conversation between lovers. Ye Xiaomeng’s heart ached to the point of numbness. She pretended to make some noise and saw Cheng Yang quickly hang up the call.

As he walked into the living room, there was a trace of unease on his face. “Done with your shower?” He approached her, trying to hide his flustered demeanor.

“Yeah, it’s late. Who were you on the phone with?” Ye Xiaomeng deliberately asked, already knowing the answer.

“Oh, just an ordinary friend.” Cheng Yang explained.

“Well, you should get some rest too.” Ye Xiaomeng replied expressionlessly and then went back to the bedroom.

Cheng Yang nodded with a guilty conscience.

Shu Pan also struggled to fall asleep. Xiaomeng’s strange behavior today bothered her, but she remembered that they had a 10-year foundation of feelings, which wasn’t easily shaken.

Thinking about her own situation with Gu Shaoting, they had essentially had a flash marriage. Even if no one else interfered, it was still hard to maintain.

Love was a two-way street, singing a monologue wouldn’t sustain it.

Shu Pan decided to look forward to the future and treat the past as chalk marks that could be easily erased.

The gentle morning sun warmed the earth. Shu Pan woke up early, wearing a cotton dress that slightly revealed her growing belly. She strolled towards the flower shop.

Inside the flower shop, the owner Lan Lan had just returned from getting supplies. Shu Pan quickly went over to help categorize and organize the flowers.

Buds of flowers that were about to bloom emitted a delicate fragrance.

The fully bloomed flowers competed in their brilliant colors, bringing joy to anyone who looked at them.

Facing these beautiful flowers every day, Shu Pan felt that she would become much happier.

She carefully wrapped the flowers. Her five-month pregnancy was now showing, with a noticeable bump. Occasionally, she could even feel faint movements from the baby.

Shu Pan found this feeling quite subtle. Although she didn’t have her husband’s care or various nutritional supplements and had to make do with simple meals, she was determined to provide endless love for her child and ensure the child’s healthy and joyful growth.
