“Who knew that Chen Jingrong was such a bad person? You can’t be blamed. Even we didn’t see through her act and we were classmates with her for so many years.”

Zixi laughed as he emptied the glass in his hand down his throat.

“Since it’s in the past, let’s not talk about it anymore. Shouldn’t you be happy that you became a father?”

“Now that you’ve resolved the matter with Chen Jingrong, what about Yao Anqi? She gave birth to a child for you, so it won’t be easy for her to get married in the future. Shouldn’t you take responsibility?”

“I think it’s a jerk move to go look for another woman straight after breaking up,” Zixi explained. “Let’s let things flow naturally. It’s lucky that she isn’t a clingy person. Our main priority now, is to take care of Xingzhe’s health.”

“I understand you.”

Zixi laughed at this response. Who in this world could actually understand another’s pain?

No one!

They were just words of comfort!

That’s how the two drank and chatted until late into the night. Afterwards, Zixi turned to leave, but his friend suddenly stopped him, “Sleep here tonight. Chen Jingrong might be waiting at your front door.”

Zixi patted his friend on the shoulder and laughed, “There’s no need. I’m going to visit the hospital.”

“OK, be careful then. Are you sure that you’re not drunk?”

“I’m very awake!” Zixi said as he grabbed his jacket and headed for the military hospital. That’s when he saw Yao Anqi working busily in the emergency department.

Was she a robot? How could she not get any rest for 24 hours?

But, he simply stood to one side and watched her help a patient with their wound without disturbing her. As he watched her, he noticed a black mole on Yao Anqi’s ear lobe. All of a sudden, all his memories of the night flooded back.

Back then, he noticed this mole, but he didn’t find it on Chen Jingrong, so he thought he was imagining things.

Plus, he never noticed Yao Anqi after that night, so he never considered that she was actually the woman that he slept with.

“Dr. Yao, you need to stitch up a patient. Can you still handle it?” a nurse asked as she chased after Yao Anqi.

Yao Anqi turned around and nodded her head, “Yes, I’m fine.”

A moment later, she spotted Zixi. At first, she was surprised, but she quickly drew back her gaze.

“Let’s go in now.”

Zixi watched as Yao Anqi left, but he did not chase after her or show any concern; he didn’t want to cause her any trouble. After all, he had just broken up with Chen Jingrong.

Soon, Zixi returned to the army base to apply for leave and deal with Xingzhe’s matter.

After his superior knew about his matter, he pulled him over to the office and lectured him, “Tell me, what did you do?”

“Chief, I’m guilty!”

“Since you’ve got a child, you need to take responsibility. Hand me a marriage application soon. If word gets out about this, then both of us are dead.”

“Yes, Chief.”

“And what happened with Jingrong?”

“I’ve already clarified everything with Jingrong,” Zixi replied.

The chief’s exp**ssion immediately warmed up in satisfaction, “At least you did one good thing. You’ve been in the military for so long and haven’t taken any breaks, so I’ll give you one month off. Handle the matter well and don’t let me hear any rumors!”

“Otherwise, you will hold responsibility for it!”

Zixi saluted at his superior and turned to leave. But, just as he was about to step foot out of the office, he heard the chief tap on the table behind him, “Hurry and send me your marriage application.”

Marriage? Why did it sound like something he had to do?

But, just like he said, he didn’t want to marry another woman just as he broke up with one. Even though, it was a reasonable thing to do.

After leaving his chief’s office, Zixi drove over to the parking lot near the hospital.

He knew that he was temporarily unable to return home and he had nothing to pack.

However, he ended up waiting an entire hour. By the time he saw Yao Anqi walk out, it was already 4am and the hospital was pretty much empty.

Zixi looked at Yao Anqi and p**ssed his car horn.

When Yao Anqi approached and saw Zixi, she was a little surprised, “Why are you here?”

“Get in the car, I’ll drive you home. I’ll also take the opportunity to grab a few things for Xingzhe,” Zixi replied.

“But…”

“If you keep delaying, someone will come over,” Zixi reminded.

Yao Anqi had no choice but to open the door and step into the passenger’s seat.

However, while they drove, they didn’t have much to talk about. They were originally just acquaintances, but they suddenly turned into the parents of a child. Most people couldn’t accept a change like this.

But, if they remained awkward, time felt slow and long. In the end, Zixi couldn’t help but say, “From now on, you will see me more often and I will come to look for you, but I will try my best not to cause you any trouble.”

“But, what about Chen Jie?”

“I’ve already clarified everything with her…” Zixi replied. “It’s not because of you. We broke up because we had problems to begin with.”

“How is it not because of me? I feel like I’ve stolen someone else’s man…”

“You didn’t steal from her, she stole from you,” Zixi explained. “I know it will be hard for you to relax if I don’t tell you the real reason, so let me tell you the truth. If Chen Jingrong didn’t lie to me, it would have been hard for me to end things with her. But… there’s no ‘if’. She did indeed deceive me for 4 years.”

“4 years ago, on that particular night, I didn’t know it was you. When I woke up, she was the one that was lying next to me, so I thought she was the one I slept with.”

“Then…”

“I did not touch her. She is still a virgin,” Zixi laughed. “So, from now on, don’t blame yourself anymore. I won’t mention her again either. I know you’re not a person with a lot of problems, so let’s leave this matter here and not mention it ever again.”

Yao Anqi nodded her head. As long as she wasn’t a mistress, she didn’t mind.

After a short conversation, Zixi finally pulled up outside Yao Anqi’s home.

But, rather than calling it a ‘home’, it was more of a shelter from the wind and rain. It was apparent that Yao Anqi didn’t live a very wealthy life.

“If not for Xingzhe, you would be quite a rich woman.”

“I’m an orphan, so after giving birth, we only had each other,” Yao Anqi explained as she packed a few things and handed them to Zixi. “These are some things that Xingzhe likes and is used to. If he sees this, he won’t come looking for me.”

“When will you go to visit him?” Zixi asked.

“I…don’t think I should see him often from now on. Otherwise, we will have too many things tying us together.”

After listening to Yao Anqi, Zixi looked at her in seriousness and said, “You may think it’s not possible, but nothing is impossible in my family. I will never find a stepmother simply for the sake of my son. Getting married is not a priority for me, so you can come visit whenever you want.”

“Major Mo…”

“You keep throwing the blame on yourself, but I’ve never thought that you messed up my life. In fact, you saved me just in time,” Zixi said patiently. It’s not early anymore, you should get some rest, your eye bags are getting dark. I’ll take this with me first and you can give me a phone call if you get the chance. I’ll leave my phone number on the desk. I have one month leave.”

Yao Anqi was tired and didn’t have the energy to think about other things.

After Zixi left, she lay on the bed and fell asleep.

Zixi actually wanted to tell her not to work so hard.

Especially after seeing her simple living arrangements, he thought he should help her move somewhere else.

Zixi finally arrived home at 6am. The early-riser Emma saw her son return holding Xingzhe’s things and immediately asked, “You’ve sorted everything out?”

“Yes, I’ve clarified it,” Zixi replied. “Mom, where is Xingzhe? I want to see him.”

“He is in your sister’s room. She loves him,” Emma said as she pointed to Ziyan’s room.

“OK, I’ll go in when she wakes up then,” Zixi said as he carried his things back into his room.

Perhaps, she could sense her son’s struggles, so Emma followed him upstairs.

“If you’re struggling, just cry. We are all here for you.”

Zixi had never felt this bad before. As he wr*pped his arm around Emma’s waist, he buried his head into her stomach and began to cry, “Mom, I feel like a failure.”

“Why didn’t I discover the truth earlier? Why didn’t I know that I had a son earlier?”

“If I knew earlier, Yao Anqi wouldn’t have suffered so much and Xingzhe would have had a father to love him.”

“And I wouldn’t have been deceived for so many years like an idiot.”

“Anqi didn’t want to disturb your life,” Emma comforted as she patted him on his back. “You should be happy that Anqi is a good person that gave birth to such an adorable baby for you and saved you in time.”

“Mom…even though that’s the case, I still feel bad. I invested 4 years into a relationship to find out that it was all a lie in the end.”

“So what if it was 4 years? The truth was still revealed in the end,” Emma comforted again. “Simply learn from your mistakes and never get fooled again.”

“Also, I don’t know what to do about Yao Anqi,” Zixi sobbed. “I can’t not marry her because she’s already given birth to a son for me, but if I try to marry her, she may not be willing. Plus, she can definitely lead a much better life.”

“I can’t comment on your relationship with Anqi. Anqi is a good person, but we still need to see if you have any fate with each other. What if Anqi likes someone else?”

“Zixi, your main priority now is to take care of Xingzhe. Everything else, just play it by ear. After all, you can’t force things.”

“Also, I know your heart is hurt.”

After being deceived for 4 years, who wouldn’t feel upset?

However, Zixi did not say a word. He simply hugged his mother as though he wanted to enjoy his mother’s embrace before he grew up.

“Mom, I honestly miss the carefree days that Zichen and I had in the past.”

“But, you’re grown up now and you’re a father,” Emma comforted. “That’s enough, you should go look for your son. As for Anqi, when you have some time, ask her over to have some dinner. At least, you can grow closer that way.”
