Chapter 2

"No, Mr. Han! You should not have let Qiao Xin go. You should have asked her to stay. She should not have gone and you should have not let her. Because at the moment, Qiao Xin is bearing your child!"

Xiao Long and Li Xuan looked straight at her. They looked at her in disbelief. None of them knew that Qiao Xin was pregnant.

"W..what?" Xiao Long stammered. Mei pulled out a pregnancy test strip that she picked up from her apartment, and showed it to Xiao Long and Li Xuan.

"Last night, Qiao Xin felt so devastated. She doesn't know what to do. She even collapsed a few times. I ordered our favorite meal but she felt uneasy and lost her appetite. I knew that something was not right, so I asked about her last period. She said that her period was two weeks late. Therefore, I suggested she take a pregnancy test because I happen to have some in hand. Qiao Xin was initially against that idea, but she finally took one when I was not looking. I knew she took one because she was no longer with me in the morning. When I went around to look for her, I found these strips in the trash bin. I thought she came here to inform you of her pregnancy. I had hoped that both of you would forget that agreement for the sake of your own child. I did not expect her to come here just to say goodbye to you, she even did not say it in person and left a letter instead. How come she thought that she was alone? Did she think my place wasn't hers anymore?"

"No, no." Xiao Long stood up and got dressed. He walked to the door, and grabbed his car key. Li Xuan got on his way and stopped him.

"Wait, what are you doing now? Don't you realize that you can't think straight now?" Li Xuan asked seriously.

Xiao Long cried again as he tried to get out of his room. He felt so helpless.

"Let me go, Li Xuan. Let me go! I must find Qiao Xin no matter what. She is currently bearing my children and I don't know where she is! How dare Xuan Cheng sleep with my wife when she was pregnant. How come Qiao Xin let herself fall into his arms when she knew that she was pregnant!" Xiao Long screamed. "I...I can forgive her, I can give her another chance. I will do anything for our marriage and our child. We are still legally husband and wife, so I must find her."

Mei and Li Xuan felt so heartbroken when he said that. He looked so devastated. Even Li Xuan promised to make Xuan Cheng pay for his nefarious deed.

"I think the only person who knew about that was Tao, Qiao Xin was there with Tao at that moment. If Qiao Xin and Xuan Cheng slept together consensually, then why did Tao get into an accident in a place far away from them. On top of that, there was a possibility of foul play in that accident. Besides, if she really did that purposefully, why did she come to you?I believe that there's something wrong here. I believe that Qiao Xin was innocent, Mr. Han." Mei looked at Xiao Long seriously. "Let us find Qiao Xin together, we need to talk to her. I am certain that it was all a huge misunderstanding. I believe that there was something that we don't know. I, as Qiao Xin's friend, will get to the bottom of this. I hope that you, as her husband, must see this through to uphold your own wife's dignity."

"Okay, what now?" Xuan Cheng asked Wei Wei, who looked so calm in the face of such trouble. She only glanced at Xuan Cheng for a moment and sighed.

"What happened to you, Cheng? Stay calm, will you? You used to be a composed man. Everything that you want has come true now, right? Xiao Long and that whore's relationship has been destroyed, she even already left Han's residence, Tao probably still in coma and may not be able to make it. So what is there to worry about? Everything falls into place perfectly, they can't sue you for what you have done with that whore in the video as both of you actually did it consensually. I think, all you need to do is find that damned woman, you know, tie a loose end." Wei Wei answered nonchalantly.

Xuan Cheng sighed, he never thought that Wei Wei would say something like that. He never knew that deep inside, Wei Wei was a cold-hearted woman.

"I just don't get it, Wei Wei. Problem is, Qiao Xin has gone and could you stop calling her a whore. That woman has a name, you have no right to change it. Besides, I have dispatched most of my men to look for her, but none of them found her, not even in her hometown. How can I rest easy knowing that she is missing? I sincerely love her, I am not a cold-blooded criminal like you. I will never let her go just like that."
