Ye Lu had been lying on the hospital bed in the village clinic and was quite bored, so she asked Ling Kong to borrow her some books.

Whenever she could sleep, she would try to rest; when she couldn’t sleep, she would read a book because she really didn’t want her mind to be vacant, having the opportunity to think about those men that caused her pain.

Even if she wanted to suffer, she had to leave the Su Family area smoothly, ensuring her own safety first before allowing herself to wallow in longing and sorrow.

While quietly reading her book, two women walked into the clinic. Their laughter and loud voices arrived before they did.

"Mei, who would’ve thought yours was so fierce? He looks so scholarly and refined, but turns out to be more vigorous than those who work the fields. It seems appearances can be deceiving, but looking at his physique, he really is tall and handsome," chattered one woman with a gossipy laugh.

Then came Mei’s voice, shy but unable to hide her pride: "Otherwise, I wouldn’t be having a sore back and aching waist. During these past days, he almost broke my back."

"That’s great, now quickly have a baby, and watch him dote on you more."

"I’m his wife, of course he dotes on me. This man may seem mild-mannered on the surface... but every night he clings to me, so annoying."

Though her words expressed annoyance, her tone was full of the sweetness and pride of being in love, which made Ye Lu frown as she listened from inside.

To speak so openly and loudly about such matters, was this a way of flaunting their love?

Ye Lu had no interest in the private affairs of other couples, but Mei’s undisguised pride did make her feel oddly uncomfortable. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

To make matters worse, these two women waited in the clinic when the doctor was out, non-stop chattering and sharing intimate women’s secrets, each boasting about their own sexual bliss.

Ye Lu couldn’t help but hear.

Feeling extremely frustrated and annoyed, she felt that this woman was doing it on purpose, making sure she could hear. Because every time this woman detailed how vigorous her husband was and how intensely he pampered her, her voice got especially loud.

Just then, the doctor who had gone out finally returned and asked what was troubling them.

Mei glanced towards Ye Lu’s room with a mix of disgust and jealousy in her eyes but put on a smile.

"I’ve been feeling a lack of appetite lately, kind of dizzy, and my period hasn’t come. I don’t know what’s wrong?"

Ye Lu raised an eyebrow. Was this a pregnancy?

The woman who came with Mei immediately exclaimed in surprise, "Mei, are you pregnant?"

"I don’t know, isn’t that why I came here?" Mei responded coyly.

The doctor was straightforward, saying bluntly, "Impossible."

Mei grew angry, "What do you mean by impossible? You didn’t even check. What if I really am pregnant!"

She was trying to flaunt this in front of her love rival. Why was this doctor ruining her moment?

"If that’s the case, it’s a big problem." The doctor looked at her irritably, "Your husband only just got back. If you were pregnant, you would have had to feel it at least a month or two ago, right? If you really are pregnant, whose child would it be?"

Pfft... Ye Lu couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Mei, hearing the suppressed laughter from the ward, turned red and then pale, her teeth itching with hatred.

She stomped her foot, not bothering with the doctor any longer, and ran out.

Feeling refreshed, Ye Lu picked up the book and started to flip through it. Upon seeing Xie Wen’s name on the first page, she was momentarily taken aback. Was this that man’s book?

To be honest, the way he talked about inducing the abortion did cause her to hate him, but when she thought about it carefully, his harsh words had actually awakened her.

But this man really was ruthless. How could someone like him stay in a mountain village?

As she opened the book and saw the notes inside, she was surprised.
