Sheng Quan waited until his emotions had stabilized before slowly reopening the deep-seated wound in his heart and recollecting the scene from the day of the accident.
That day, on the mountain road.
Only he and his wife, Shen Can, were driving back home from a vacation resort.
Shen Can’s smile never faded throughout the journey. “Honey, the mountains and waters here are so beautiful. We should bring Niannian with us next time. She’ll love it here.”
“Sure,” Sheng Quan absentmindedly replied.
Seeing his wife so happy, he couldn’t say what he wanted to say.
Little did Shen Can know that all the love she had joyfully received from her husband was merely a facade born out of Sheng Quan’s deep-seated guilt.
The reason he had left behind the company’s affairs and spent these few days with Shen Can in the mountain resort was that he wanted a divorce. He wanted to make the most of these last few days to compensate her and then leave her forever for another woman.
However, facing his wife’s smiling face, he couldn’t bring himself to say the words he had in mind.
Lin Wei was a very clever woman.
She had known Sheng Quan since childhood, and although they had each married separately as they grew older, no one knew Sheng Quan better than she did.
So, she had guessed early on that Sheng Quan might not be able to speak the truth, and she secretly left her pregnancy test report in the car, speaking on Sheng Quan’s behalf.
Shen Can was in the car eating fresh fruit and wanted to grab some tissues from the drawer when she unexpectedly saw the report.
In an instant, something in her mind snapped, and the fruit slipped from her hand and fell into the car. Her whole body felt as if it had been drained of blood, leaving her powerless.
At that moment, Sheng Quan had not yet realized that something was amiss with his wife.
He glanced at the fruit that had fallen to the ground and suddenly became somewhat impatient. “Why can’t you eat something without dropping it? Do you know how much trouble it is to wash the car?”
Usually, when faced with his complaints, Shen Can would always smile and appease him, but this time, the person beside him had fallen silent.
On the winding mountain road where parking was not allowed, Sheng Quan had to slow down the car’s speed. He took a moment to glance at the person beside him and only then did he realize that his wife was looking at him with an incredulous expression. The complex emotions churning inside her eyes made him feel deeply unsettled.
He was suddenly a little flustered and quickly asked, “Honey, what’s wrong with you? Why are you suddenly looking at me like this?”
As he spoke, he drove carefully. At this moment, a car was about to overtake him. After carefully avoiding it, he looked at Shen Can again, and his eyes moved down slightly to the piece of paper in her hand.
A pregnancy test report.
In just an instant, Sheng Quan understood why Shen Can had suddenly become so strange. His throat felt as if something was stuck, and it took him a long time to squeeze out a few words, “You already know.”
Shen Can, unexpectedly, remained calm. She only trembled her eyelashes, trying to prevent any unnecessary embarrassing sounds from escaping her lips. “Who is she?”
A tinge of pain grew in Sheng Quan’s heart, but he steeled himself and said, “Cancan, I didn’t want to tell you at this time. 1 wanted to wait until we both sat down and discussed it properly. But I didn’t expect this report to show up in my car.”
“So, the reason you brought me to the mountain resort to play these past few days was out of guilt, to compensate me, or did you just pity me and wanted to give me a few more days of being a loving couple with you?” Shen Can, with disbelief, clenched her lower lip.
The man she had loved for so many years had already been with another woman outside and even had a child with her.
Shen Can felt as if the world was collapsing, and her chest became so heavy that she couldn’t catch her breath.
“Honey, 1 didn’t want to hurt you…” Sheng Quan said with a troubled expression.
Shen Can shouted at the top of his lungs, “But you’ve already hurt me! Don’t call me honey. It’s disgusting!”
The thought of this man being affectionate with another woman behind her back made her feel nauseous to the core.
Her heart felt as though it were tightly clenched, but she gritted her teeth and kept it to herself, trying to appear strong.
The man beside her now belonged to another woman, and she didn’t want to show any vulnerability in front of him!
Sheng Quan was unaware of the fact that her face was growing paler, and he continued speaking, “Cancan, even though I’m with someone else now, you were still my first wife. I will treat you well in the future, and, of course, I’ll also treat Niannian well. You two will always be my most important family.”
“Shut up,” Shen Can was on the brink of breaking down. She leaned against the car door, her mouth opening several times but unable to produce a single word.
Just at that moment, a car ahead suddenly plunged downhill at a bend, causing a massive explosion at the base of the mountain.
Sheng Quan exclaimed in shock and quickly turned to look at his wife, only to find her already pale and lifeless.
At this point in the story, Sheng Quan covered his face and sobbed softly.
“I didn’t mean to hurt her. It’s all my fault that Niannian lost her mother at that time!”
Mei Shu wasn’t in the mood to console a man who had cheated, she was only concerned with one thing. “You said that my mother’s car couldn’t slow down at the bend, which caused the accident.. Is that right?”
