Huang Xi nervously held the water glass, taking sips now and then without saying a word.

“I asked He Yong.”

After a long time.

Zhou Hui said, "Otherwise, I wouldn't have come alone today."

"You've suffered a lot too. I don't want the house or the car. Just focus on giving birth to the child..."

"If you need anything, just tell me."

"Cao Jianjun has now gone to the Ministry's Major Crimes Department. Every mission he undertakes from now on will likely be a matter of life and death."

“I know his personality well. Ever since he was in Balihe, he has been single-mindedly focused on solving major cases and making great contributions.”

"If the director hadn't kept it under control, who knows what kind of big thing would have happened in 04."

"Now that my eagerness to make a name for myself is gone, it actually makes me more worried..."

"I don't know if one day I'll suddenly receive news of his sacrifice..."

“From the time I got pregnant until now, I can count the number of days Cao Jianjun has been at home on one hand…”

"Making things difficult for you now won't change anything. Maybe this is just my fate as a woman."

Zhou Hui is a typical example of someone with a sharp tongue but a soft heart.

Despite her seemingly strong personality, she has a heart as soft as a sponge.

"sister!"

Huang Xi placed the water glass on the coffee table, turned around, and looked at Zhou Hui: "I... can I call you sister?"

"You're not older than me, so what should I call you if not 'sister'?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Xi's lips twitched even more violently, and her eyes welled up with tears: "I...I'm sorry."

"Sorry for what?"

The anger on Zhou Hui's face vanished, replaced by a calm expression: "What can we do? We're women, after all. You didn't do it on purpose..."

Huang Xi lowered her head in shame, pursed her lips, and didn't know what to say.

Has it been checked?

Zhou Hui turned her head to look at her belly and asked, "Is it a boy or a girl?"

Huang Xi shook his head: "I don't know."

“We already have two daughters…” Zhou Hui joked, “Let’s have a boy, otherwise the house will be full of women and there won’t be anyone to protect them.”

Huang Xi smiled happily and leaned slowly against Zhou Hui's shoulder.

Tears welled up in my eyes immediately.

This time, her tears were a cry of relief, a cry of liberation and relaxation.

Zhou Hui was an insurmountable obstacle for her; otherwise... Huang Xi would have always felt a kind of shameful discomfort.

That's why she didn't refuse when Zhou Hui contacted her a few days ago.

She was even willing to give up all the material things Cao Jianjun had given her, just wanting to live an open and honest life.

As long as Zhou Hui doesn't cause her trouble, she will feel at ease, and she will make up for everything in the future on her own.

"Sis, why don't you stay here for a few days? I'll show you around Beijiang."

Huang Xi sobbed, holding Zhou Hui's arm with both hands: "I...I haven't had any friends for a long time either."

"I have children at home..."

"You can bring your child here, and I'll help you take care of him/her."

"What are you going to do? Let Cao Jianjun come and see his two women together? He'll be so arrogant."

“I can stop him from coming.”

"Huang Xi..."

As they chatted, Zhou Hui's expression turned serious again: "I can forgive you, do you know why?"

"Know something."

"But Cao Jianjun must not know any of this."

Zhou Hui said in a serious tone, "You are a product of chance; a series of coincidences collided to bring you to where you are today."

"We absolutely cannot tell Cao Jianjun about our relationship."

"Otherwise, if he doesn't learn his lesson, he'll have a third or fourth woman..."

“If it comes to that, not to mention whether it will ruin us and our children, he will be stripped of his police uniform, and he might even go to jail.”

Huang Xi listened intently and nodded vigorously.

"Sister, I know, but I will never tell."

"Yeah, in front of Cao Jianjun, we're still enemies, it's either you or me."

Zhou Hui said, both amused and exasperated, "I did this entirely because of you, but only because of you."

"Uh-huh……"

Huang Xi nodded frantically: "Sister, I swear, from today onwards, I will never let Cao Jianjun into this house again."

"What?"

Zhou Hui was taken aback: "Then how will he take care of the child in the future?"

"Yeah...that's true too."

Huang Xi frowned, stunned. "I just... I just don't want him to touch me again."

"You've already had a child with him, why would I care about these things?"

Zhou Hui rolled her eyes, both angry and amused.

"I don't care..."

Huang Xi hugged Zhou Hui's arm tightly and said, "If Cao Jianjun wants to see the child, you can come with him. Giving birth is something I can't help."

"He's gone crazy."

Zhou Hui tapped Huang Xi on the forehead in an annoyed tone: "Get up quickly and heat up the food, I'm hungry too."

"it is good!"

Huang Xi immediately perked up, jumped up, and ran happily to the kitchen.

In front of the first wife, she had to be obedient and compliant.

Even though Huang Xi was unwilling, she had no choice for the sake of her child.

same.

Zhou Hui is the same.

After a falling out with Huang Xi, the two became mortal enemies, and their marriage came to an end.

Whether she could keep Cao Jianjun was secondary; the most important thing was that she couldn't let her two daughters lose their father.

Most importantly, the work Cao Jianjun was engaged in carried the risk of death at any moment.

Zhou Hui knew that if she didn't resolve his worries, and he died in battle, neither she nor Huang Xi would be winners.

and so.

Zhou Hui wanted to stand on the same side as Huang Xi, for the sake of their child and for Cao Jianjun to return safely from every mission.

Huang Xi reheated breakfast in the kitchen and boiled an extra egg.

After working for more than ten minutes, they brought the dishes over one by one and placed them on the dining table.

"Sis, let's eat."

"Huang Xi, this house of yours must have been expensive, right?"

Zhou Hui suddenly remembered something: "House prices in Beijiang are so expensive, where did Cao Jianjun get the money to buy you a house?"

"I do not know either."

Huang Xi made no secret of it: "Cao Jianjun transferred 4.8 million yuan to me, and it came from a fund account."

He also said it was legal property and told me to keep it without worry.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Hui's delicate eyebrows furrowed.

"How much? Four million eight hundred thousand?"

"Ah."

Huang Xi nodded repeatedly, took out her phone, and found the bank's app: "Look, sis, there are still transfer records here."

"After buying a house and a car, there's still a million left."

"Sister, shall I transfer the house to your name?"

Zhou Hui looked at Huang Xi with a serious expression: "Where did he get so much money?"
