After staring at her for a while, Feng Ling seemed to have understood what she meant.

  Everyone knew that to Tang Yuansi, Shangxin was his most precious and beloved darling. If she were to leave and never appear in front of him anymore, Tang Yuansi would not possibly accept her immediately, nor would he accept any other women.

  But, she could use her status as his life savior to request to stay by his side.

  When that happened, he would surely not be that cruel as to chase her away.

  That way, it was a matter of time before she had the chance to become his woman.

  In time to come, as long as she could get pregnant with his child, Tang Yuansi would definitely marry her for the sake of their child.

  The position of the Tang Family’s Young Mistress would then belong to her.

  There was no need to rush things at the moment and ruin her great plans.

  “Alright, I promise you. As long as you leave and never appear again, I’ll save Tang Yuansi!”


  After muttering these words, Feng Ling grabbed her bag and walked up to Shangxin.

  Her nail, which was painted bright red, brushed past Shangxin’s chin and moved slightly upwards onto her face.

  With a haughty expression, she teased sarcastically, “Rest assured. I haven’t been able to forget such an outstanding man as President Tang for so many years. I definitely won’t stand by and watch him die. Not only will I help you treat his illness, but I’ll also stay by his side on your behalf and bear children for him.”


  “…”


  Shangxin’s face instantly became pale and she threw the hand on her face aside.

  Her fists were clenched with anger and she no longer stayed to listen to her provoking words, she simply turned to leave the private room.

  Her hurried steps made it seem as if she was escaping the place.

  The moment she stepped out of the nightclub, the tears, that she had been suppressing, almost instantly cascaded down her face.

  Covering her face, she squatted down and started to bawl in agony.

  She had once said that no matter what happened, she would not let go of his hand. But, now, she could not keep her promise.

  Her heart was wrenching with extreme pain!

  It was as if there was a dagger slicing through her heart.

  “Shangxin!”


  Nian Xiaomu, who had just gotten out of the car, saw Shangxin’s figure all curled up in a corner and hurriedly rushed over, pulling her into her arms.

  After receiving a call from her assistant saying that Shangxin had gone to find Feng Ling herself, she had rushed over straight away.

  Not expecting to witness such a scene, she instantly helped Shangxin up, her heart aching badly for her.

  “Did that slut bully you? I’ll help you to beat her up!”


  “No…” Shangxin grabbed onto her hand like someone who was lost and had found her family, immediately wrapping her arms around Nian Xiaomu.

  “Xiao Mumu, as long as Brother Xiaosi can live, that’s enough, right?”


  “…”


  “There’s nothing more important than him being alive. As long as he’s alive, any sacrifice of mine will be worth it… I obviously feel that I’ve not done anything wrong, but why do I feel so upset inside…?”


  Shangxin was like a child who was worrying about making a mistake, she continued to ask for her opinion.

  While Nian Xiaomu was hugging her, she could feel her whole body shaking.

  Hearing her words, she seemed to have understood something in that instant.

  She simply stayed by her side quietly and listened as she poured out her grievances.

  Only when she had calmed down did Nian Xiaomu slowly ask, “Have you really thought it through properly? No matter what happens in the future, as long as you let go of his hand now, you and Tang Yuansi won’t have any chance of getting back together. And the child in your stomach…”


  The child would not have a father from the moment it was born.

  To Shangxin, such an outcome was not that different from Tang Yuansi dying.

  After all the crying, Shangxin had regained her composure.

  Her eyes were fixed ahead, looking slightly lost, but brimming with determination.

  She slowly muttered, “I’ve thought it through. Even if I won’t be able to see him in the future, as long as I know that he’s still alive and living well in this world, that’s more important to me than anything else. I won’t regret it.”
