  Yao Teng sighed. “Did you forget what I do?”


  Dazed, Si Jingyu looked up at him.

  “Four years ago, you insisted on taking a gap year to travel without telling me why. You were overseas for six months by yourself.” After saying this, Yao Teng paused and said moments later, “You might not know this, but I thought that something was wrong back then and I went to look for you at Little Rock.”


  Upon hearing this, Si Jingyu was completely stunned.

  She looked up at him intently in disbelief.

  Yao Teng seemed to have been reminded of something very saddening. With his eyelids slightly drooping, he said with no intonation, “At that time, I found out that you weren’t even attending school. I asked so many people and searched the entire city before I finally saw you going for a checkup at the gynecologist with a protruding tummy.”


  After he said this, Si Jingyu’s hands suddenly clenched up as she looked at him in disbelief. It seemed like she had never expected this kind of thing to have occurred back then.

  Her mouth opened and closed repeatedly. After a while, she said, “I……”


  “The child is…… Shi Jinyan’s, right?”


  As soon as he said this, Si Jingyu suddenly closed her eyes. Then, two clear drops of tears fell from the corner of her eyes.

  She had thought that she would be able to keep this secret to herself for the rest of her life. Never did she expect that someone would know about this.

  The child was his.

  1

  They were young, vigorous, and naive. As a result, she had to pay a bitter price for the rest of her life.

  At that time, her brother was still in high school and the Imperial Group was slowly gaining a footing under her mother’s control. Hence, the Si family could not afford any scandals.

  But she wanted the child.

  Thus, she gave birth to the child overseas secretly. To prevent her family from finding out and the paparazzi from catching her, she reported a fake name at the hospital. All her documents were fake and all the hospitals she went to were private practices.

  Little did she know that the child that she had given birth to so painstakingly would be kidnapped before she even found out the child’s gender.

  As she thought of this, Si Jingyu felt her heart wrenching again. Pain infiltrated every single cell in her body.

  Seeing her pale face, Yao Teng could not bear to continue saying what he had wanted to say. However, he still told her the cruel truth. “After that, when you came back, it’s as if you lost your soul. Ever since then, you would travel overseas every year. I didn’t realize that you also put up notices anonymously to look for your child with a huge sum of money as a reward. So, although the Imperial Group has given you bonuses every year throughout these years, you actually…… spent it all?”


  After hearing this, Si Jingyu looked down.

  Yeah, she spent it all.

  Spent it all.

  Hence, she did not have the money to buy any luxury goods, branded clothes, shoes, or makeup. Fortunately, she had always unconventionally liked athleisure clothes since she was young, so Si Zhengting and Madam Ding did not suspect anything.

  However, she had never regretted it. If she could, she was willing to pay any price to look for her child.

  Seeing her like this, Yao Teng continued, “I have been analyzing your travel records these few years. You have been going everywhere all these years just to look for your child, right? The last time you went to the uninhabited island and faced danger because you saw a python. You went there because you heard that there is an aboriginal child that’s around three to four years old, right? Did you come to Hebei this time around because the bunch of frauds scammed you into thinking that they have your child?”
