Bai Fanglan's hand clenched tightly inside her pocket, her nails biting painfully into her skin.

Back then, she was just a ragged village girl, injured and terrified when she came to the city. But after meeting Gu Junming, she suddenly ascended and now her face is open and bright, looking much prettier.

And what about herself? Once a respected military doctor, yet within a year she'd come to this.

Though she still appeared to be a doctor, she actually had to leave the military hospital due to disciplinary actions. In the current hospital, she was marginalized, her work was unsatisfying, her husband wasn't by her side, and her in-laws didn't care for her. Every day was just enduring through.

She really regretted it, for arguing with them before boarding the train. If not for that, she wouldn't have parted ways and faced her subsequent ordeals. And now, what happened in Shenzhen has become an eternal source of anxiety and nightmares.

She has awakened countless times from nightmares, crying incessantly, in deep pain.

Bai Fanglan thought about these chaotic matters in her heart, suddenly feeling a surge of nausea in her chest. With her heart aching, she quickly returned to her office, picked up the phone, and called Wang Hu with a hoarse voice: "Wang Hu? I want to tell you something, I'm pregnant, one month now."

Actually, it's been two months, but Sun Chan dared not speak the truth. She only dared to tell him after making up her mind.

Wang Hu was initially stunned after hearing this and then said, "Is it from that time at the motel?" Quite a coincidence.

Once was indeed enough, since both were older, and conceiving had not been easy before.

"Yes." Bai Fanglan bit her lip, trembling all over, but still pretended to be calm: "I didn't expect it would happen so easily, you…you want this child, right?" She actually wanted to ask if he still wanted a divorce.

Wang Hu wasn't thrilled about it, as he actually felt indifferent towards Bai Fanglan now. But since his parents had expectations, he smiled: "Having a child is a good thing! I'll tell my parents later. They'll be happy."

Bai Fanglan laughed, "I'll tell them myself. When will you be back?"

"At the end of the year. Don't worry, I'll definitely see you give birth."

"Yes, Wang Hu, things happened in the past, because I was too capricious. You…please forgive me." Bai Fanglan bit her lip, tears welling up in her eyes, her hands constantly tracing the patterns on the table.

She was truly terrified of losing Wang Hu. If they divorced, her reputation would suffer, and it would be impossible to find someone of similar conditions again. She heard her grandpa plans to retire before the end of the year.

Although Bai Chuan had tried every method, it still wasn't working. He himself lacked merit and ability, and had once framed Gu Junming. Although there was no evidence from above, the people in charge weren't dumb, and were displeased with Bai Chuan's actions.

Even with the Wang family as in-laws, they clearly had no intention to help.

Bai Chuan was embarrassed to say so, especially since his granddaughter had such an ugly confrontation with Wang Hu before.

Wang Hu said, "Stop overthinking. I'll always be with you, take care of the baby."

"Wang Hu…" Bai Fanglan choked with emotion, "I'm sorry, truly sorry to you!" The biggest mistake was pinning this child on you. But I had no choice, she silently prayed in her heart, hoping she could continue hiding it. She promised herself to make it up to him in the future.

Of course, Wang Hu didn't know her thoughts. Hearing Bai Fanglan, he thought it was about the divorce dispute before and consoled a few words: "Alright, I'm not angry, I also have faults, not caring enough for you. Rest well, I'll call you then."

"Okay, you go ahead." Bai Fanglan hung up the phone and covered her face, crying heavily, feeling deeply ashamed.

Wang Hu naturally heard Bai Fanglan's sobbing and felt she genuinely realized her mistakes, then sighed. Though he didn't like this woman, if she truly changed for the better, he could accept her.

Bai Fanglan leaned against the chair, thinking of buying some groceries for her in-laws tonight instead of always eating ready-made meals. She no longer wanted to compete with Sun Chan and others, only wished to live her own life.

She regretted inwardly, that even if she wasn't willing at the time, not confronting Sun Chan was fine. Why persistently hold on and end up in the abyss herself!

Meanwhile, Wang Hu walked out of the office, only to meet Yao DianDian waiting for him. She wasn't wearing a hat, and her short hair fluttered in the wind, her uniform giving a youthful vibe.

Wang Hu nodded to her, "I seem to see you often."

"Not by chance, I'm always around you," Yao DianDian smiled.

Wang Hu glanced at her and continued walking, but Yao DianDian followed directly.

"Why are you following me?"

"I like you. Have I mentioned it?" Yao DianDian said softly.

Wang Hu didn't hear clearly and turned back, "What did you say?"

Yao DianDian quickly said, "I said, are you going to the library this afternoon?"

"No." Wang Hu paused for a moment, then said, "If you're going, can you help borrow two books for me?"

Yao DianDian was very happy and quickly said, "What type?"

"Pregnancy-related. My wife is pregnant, and I want to learn more." Wang Hu smiled. He was about to become a father, and he felt a bit happy. He had always been serious, and this sudden smile gave Yao DianDian a sense of charm.

Yao DianDian felt incredibly sad. She knew his relationship with his wife was poor, even went through a divorce, and was waiting for a chance. But unexpectedly, they had no intention of divorcing and even had a child!

With someone like Wang Hu, once a child is born, there surely won't be any divorce. Perhaps she truly doesn't have any hope for a lifetime?

Yao DianDian, being a simple girl, couldn't hide her feelings. Upon hearing his words, tears welled up instantly. She really liked Wang Hu, liking someone for the first time, why should it end this way!

Wang Hu was stunned seeing her tears, "What's wrong, are you unwell?"

Yao DianDian punched him hard, "I hate you, I hate you to death!" Saying this, she left, wiping her tears vigorously, but they wouldn't stop. While walking, she stumbled and fell to the ground. The ground was sandy, and right at noon, her hands pressed onto it, burning her into a gasp.

Wang Hu was puzzled, "What happened?" Seeing Yao DianDian fall, he hurried over to help her up.
