Prosperity throughout the four seasons

The news of my husband and the rescue team collectively going missing spread all over the internet.
My father-in-law, under the sixty-degree ground temperature, recorded a video in the desert pleading with me.
My mother-in-law angrily berated me in front of the media as cold-blooded and heartless.
The entire internet is condemning me as the vicious wife who disregards her husband's safety.
I only turned on do not disturb mode, held my peacefully sleeping daughter, and enjoyed a beauty spa at the maternity center.
Three days ago, I was sent into the delivery room.
Yet my husband, due to an urgent call for help related to his childhood friend, was eager to rush to Lop Nur overnight.
On the operating table, in pain and convulsing, I sent him a voice message with tears in my eyes.
"At the time when the child and I need you the most, if you choose Yu Xiaoxiao, then never come back to this home."
A long time after, he only responded with: "You have doctors; only I can save Xiaoxiao!"


Love Has Faded, Hatred is in Vain

Jiang Yuzhou and I met during an outdoor adventure.


At the time, my friends and I were driving to the next supply point. Amidst the wind and sand, I saw a man collapsed on a hill, half of his body already buried in dust, so I immediately stopped the car and took people to rescue him.


After that, Jiang Yuzhou started to pursue me fervently.


With my emotional life being a blank slate, I was involuntarily attracted by his passionate and carefree nature and soon fell for him.


We both had a passion for outdoor adventures, but I was used to being thoroughly prepared for everything, only taking safe routes during travels.


However, Jiang Yuzhou was addicted to the uncertainty of journeys, daring to venture into uninhabited areas with just a simple backpack.


I was afraid he'd get into trouble, so when he proposed, I made three agreements with him.


Future outings must be arranged and planned by me, and he couldn't act alone.


Although Jiang Yuzhou hesitated for a moment, he eventually agreed.


I thought we would always be this happy until…


Yu Xiaoxiao had dark skin, with her brownish-yellow hair messily tied up on her head.


She dressed more sloppily than the men at the table and kept yelling for someone to drink directly from the bottle with her.


Yet when Jiang Yuzhou looked at her, his gaze was so gentle and indulgent.


Later, I found out they grew up together as childhood sweethearts.


Yu Xiaoxiao was famously known as an adventurous king who loved spontaneous adventures, and it was under her influence that Jiang Yuzhou entered this circle.


When she saw me, Yu Xiaoxiao casually hung on Jiang Yuzhou and disdainfully curled her lips at me.


"Marry a certain kind of woman, and that decides what kind of sights you'll see in the future."


"The most beautiful sceneries in nature are in places no one has been to. It's a pity that Yuzhou, despite having all the skills I taught him, will only walk those well-trodden old paths in the future."


"Why bother going out with such little courage? Might as well stroll around with a map in your own neighborhood!"


The group that was close with Yu Xiaoxiao looked at me with contempt and disdain.


I felt completely uncomfortable and found an excuse to leave.


But Jiang Yuzhou stayed with them until late at night.


When he returned at midnight, he reeked of alcohol, with a few dark red lipstick marks on his cheeks.


He said it was just friends goading him into having an arm-in-arm drink with Yu Xiaoxiao for fun, and he couldn't refuse, so he drank.


As for the lipstick, it was just Yu Xiaoxiao, on a whim, kissing his cheek a couple of times.


Jiang Yuzhou spoke nonchalantly, completely unaware that we hadn't even shared a ceremonial drink, yet he had already shared it with another woman.


I wanted to get angry, but since my parents died early, I've always longed for a happy family, so I cherished this relationship greatly.


Thinking it was the first day of our marriage, I held back.


After that, even when I knew that Jiang Yuzhou occasionally went to dangerous places with Yu Xiaoxiao's exploration team without telling me, I chose to turn a blind eye.


Just hoping to bear a child with him, making him fully return to the family both in body and mind.


When I found out I was pregnant, I was so happy I almost went crazy, and Jiang Yuzhou hugged and kissed me repeatedly.


We looked up names in the dictionary together for the child, planned the nursery, and bought set after set of tiny baby clothes, filling the storeroom with baby supplies.


I thought the arrival of the child would make him change his mind and stop taking risks.


But unexpectedly, when Yu Xiaoxiao was in danger, neither my safety nor the baby's could compare to his obsession with her.


Since Jiang Yuzhou has already made his choice.


Then, from now on, the child and I do not need him anymore!
