Chapter 1: Hiding in a corner where you can't see... secretly loving you.
At the end of winter and the beginning of spring, Yang City was cold and humid, with a thick, heavy grey sky that seemed to press down on people's heads, making their hearts feel like they were covered in a dense, unshakeable sorrow.
Su Jingya stood in the crowded street, gazing at the tall building across from her with a wooden expression.
At this moment, the huge LED on the wall of the building is playing a piece of latest entertainment news: The popular three-talented female star Yu Manqing has just returned from her concert tour in Japan and will start filming the historical war epic "The King's Battle" at the end of June. On the screen, Yu Manqing was surrounded by reporters as soon as she got off the plane, while on the bottom of the screen were written a row of big words: Who is the genuine boyfriend of famous film and television singer Yu Manqing, the famous producer Zhou Yi or the young master of Huangling International Group, Huang Fu Yu? The answer will finally be revealed today - the number one figure in Yang City, Huang Fu Yu, and the heavenly queen Yu Manqing are approaching their wedding date.
Su Jingya stood still, her eyes fixed tightly on the man who was embracing Yu Manqing and getting into a car under the escort of a group of black-clad bodyguards. Her clear and elegant gaze gradually became hazy with a thin layer of mist.
The cold wind blew wildly, blowing up the two strands of hair that fell on her ears and temples. The fine rain hit her pale face, which was chilling to the bone.
She clutched the baby supplies she had just bought from the supermarket, which fell to the ground with a loud "thud". She hunched her shoulders, one hand covering her slightly bulging belly and the other pressing hard on her chest.
Scalding tears streamed down her pretty face, unstoppable. She gazed around helplessly, everything seemed so empty and cold, as if all the colors of the world had faded away in an instant.
"Really, you've decided to marry her? Really?" Su Jingya muttered to herself with tears streaming down her face.
Although she had anticipated this outcome, when he abandoned her in the cold and spacious villa to fend for herself, she was mentally prepared, but when the cruel reality was starkly laid out before her eyes, she still felt an unbearable pain.
She was telling herself in her heart: don't cry, no crying allowed, it's nothing serious. But she still cried like a child.
In fact, from the moment she fell in love with Huangfu Yulan, she knew that her life would only be left with misery and desolation, but she still went to him without complaint or regret, like a moth flying into the fire.
Three months ago, she suddenly received a message: Huangfu Yu needed a woman to have children. Although she didn't know why he, who had always disliked children, made this decision, she resolutely decided to make one last attempt.
She signed a contract and became his surrogate, but never thought...
Even if she has a child now, she probably won't be able to stay with him anymore.
Well, in that case...
Jingya raised her tear-stained eyes to gaze at the handsome man's photo repeatedly playing on the LED screen, and murmured in a low, hoarse voice:
"My dear, at that time, time really passed very slowly, so slow that I can only use a lifetime to love you."
"Hey, do you still remember that swing under the banyan tree? Do you still remember that little girl who loved to swing with you?"
"My dear, I have something that I've always wanted to tell you: in the deepest despair, I met the most beautiful surprise. From childhood to adulthood, the person I love the most has always been you."
"If you truly love her so much, then I'm willing to return to the darkness, hiding in a corner where you can't see me... secretly loving you."
"Sir, may I say one last thing in my heart: Huanhuan, long time no see, how have you been? I'm Lele..."
Late at night.
Su Jingya didn't know how she got back, all she knew was that she had lost him and felt like a walking corpse.
"Miss Su, you're finally back!" She had just pushed open the large iron gate when Cloud Auntie anxiously came up to greet her.
"What's wrong?" she replied listlessly.
"Da Shao is back, waiting for you in the backyard, hurry up and go, don't keep Da Shao waiting!" Yun Ai urged, pushing her towards the backyard.
Su Jingya gasped: He's back?
I'm afraid it's just to pass the time for her.
Bitter and heartbroken, she smiled and said to Cloud Auntie: "You go rest first, I'll go myself."
"Good!" Cloud Aunt nodded repeatedly.
Su Jingya took a few deep breaths, clenching and unclenching her fists, before finally summoning up 120% of her courage to head towards the backyard. What was meant to come had finally arrived, and she had no choice but to face it calmly.
But as soon as she entered the backyard, she heard: "Kill! Along with the child in her belly!!"
In the pitch-black night, she hid in the corner and listened to him issue indifferent yet resolute orders, unable to suppress her trembling, and the reason was actually...
