Even though the child in her belly was involved, she could not escape the fate of being cut in half after a year.

To put it bluntly, she was only a surrogate mother in the Feng family.

‘Don’t think too highly of yourself. Qiao Ruoxi, you shouldn’t have any fantasies about that man.’

Guard your heart well. After a year, you will still be you, the invincible you.

Qiao Ruoxi ran out of the ward and stumbled. Just as she turned the corner, she ran into a nurse’s trolley.

She walked around the cart and accidentally bumped into someone.

“I’m sorry…”

Qiao Ruoxi apologized and looked up. It was Qin Xuming.

When Qin Xuming saw Qiao Ruoxi, he was stunned. He asked in surprise, “Little Xi, why are you here?”

“Just passing by,” Qiao Ruoxi replied simply.

When she saw Qin Xuming again, she realized that he had returned to his original well-dressed appearance.

“Who are you visiting?” Qiao Ruoxi asked.

Qin Xuming subconsciously hid the flowers behind his back. “No, I didn’t see anyone. Coincidentally, one of my clients is sick and hospitalized. I came to take a look too.”

“Oh, I won’t bother you then. I’ll leave now.”

After all, they had broken up. Qiao Ruoxi did not want to have anything to do with him anymore.

Just as she stepped forward, Qin Xuming stopped her with his body. “Little Xi, let’s talk.”

“Xuming, we have nothing to talk about.”

Qiao Ruoxi thought that since they had already broken up, there was no need for them to keep in contact anymore. Moreover, she was already a married woman with a “husband.” How could she be entangled with her ex?

She left without looking back.

However, just as the elevator door was about to close, Qin Xuming chased after her.

“Little Xi… can’t you give me a few minutes to talk?”

He grabbed her arm stubbornly.

“What else is there to say?”

Qiao Ruoxi looked at him helplessly.

They were not the only ones in the elevator. There were also other patients’ family members. When they quarreled, those people turned to look at them.

Qiao Ruoxi lowered her head, not wanting to be surrounded.

“If you don’t want everyone to know, come with me.”

Qin Xuming whispered into her ear and pressed the button for the underground parking lot.

No one came and went in the underground parking lot. It was especially quiet.

Qin Xuming walked in front while Qiao Ruoxi followed behind him. The reason she agreed to talk was mainly because she had something to ask him.

Qin Xuming stopped in his tracks and turned to look at her. “You’ve changed, Little Xi.”

She was still the girl he knew, but the feeling she gave him had changed.

Right now, there was only coldness and distance in her eyes.

“I haven’t changed. I’m still me.”

Qiao Ruoxi took a deep breath and asked, “Xuming, can I ask you a question?”

Qin Xuming nodded. Qiao Ruoxi asked the question that had been buried deep in her heart. “Have you ever lied to me in the years we’ve been dating? Or are you hiding something from me?”

Qin Xuming was shocked. ‘Why is she suddenly asking about this?’

‘Has she found out about something?’

‘What did she remember?’

As a lawyer, Qin Xuming was good at controlling his emotions. He restrained the panic in his heart and smiled.

“Little Xi, I’ve always loved you very much. I’ve never lied to you and I’ve never hidden anything from you. Why do you think that?”
