Oh no! Drunk last night, I accidentally wandered into my ex-boyfriend's room.

Lu Beiting really enjoyed seeing Lin Qian blush.

He's liked doing this for the past three years, deliberately making crude jokes to see Lin Qian's reaction.

Lin Qian would always glare at him with embarrassment and annoyance, or hurriedly look away. Her shy and timid appearance, wanting to hide but having nowhere to hide, always accurately touched the softest spot in his heart.

so cute.

How can his baby be so cute?

Lu Beiting didn't know why, but he just thought Lin Qian was very cute and always wanted to tease and bully her in a naughty way.

"Lin Qian, I don't want to see you cry except in bed."

"Um……"

Lin Qian sniffed, trying to suppress the soreness welling up in her eyes, her voice a little hoarse: "I will never cry for someone like Xia Jichuan again. He doesn't deserve it, and he's not worth my tears."

"That's more like it." Lu Beiting released her hand and instead ruffled her hair. "Let's go home."

They returned to the home that belonged only to the two of them.

Lin Qian shook her head, her voice soft and trembling slightly: "Lu Beiting, today... is my mother's death anniversary. I want to go to her grave to see her."

Lu Beiting blurted out, "Then I'll go with you."

"what?"

The man chuckled softly, "How about I meet my future mother-in-law?"

-

Lin Qian's mother, Lin Shuyao, has her grave in Nansang Town.

The town is quiet, and the cemetery is located halfway up the mountain, surrounded by evergreen pines and cypresses. The afterglow of the moonlight casts a soft glow on the tranquil tombstones.

Lin Qian and Lu Beiting bought two bouquets of white carnations and some fresh fruit.

In front of the tombstone, Lin Qian placed the flowers and opened the letter that Xia Jichuan had given her.

In the letter, Lin Shuyao expressed her hopes and affection for her future child.

She said she hoped it could be happy and that it would meet someone who truly loves it in the future.

I hope to marry someone of equal social standing so that I won't be hurt by love again.

Right.

When Lin Qian saw these words, her heart suddenly ached.

She quickly put the envelope away so that Lu Beiting wouldn't see it.

"Lu Beiting," Lin Qian raised her eyes and looked at him earnestly, "Do you know what happened between my mother and Xia Jichuan?"

"Hmm," Lu Beiting said, his eyes lowered, "I know a little bit about it."

"When we were in college, Xia Jichuan fell in love with my mother at first sight. He pursued her relentlessly, but my mother felt that his family background was too good for her and that she was not good enough for him, so she rejected him."

"Later... my mother was still moved by Xia Jichuan. She gave him her heart and became pregnant out of wedlock."

"It was at this moment that Song Qingmei ran over and slapped my mother twice, calling her a slut and a seductress..."

Lin Qian's voice choked with sobs, her tone filled with heartache, "Xia Jichuan abandoned my mother and left, leaving her all alone with her big belly. She's quite far along in her pregnancy, and due to her health condition, the doctor doesn't recommend terminating the pregnancy..."

"My mother didn't resent me because I have the blood of a scumbag in my veins; she always loved me. But such a good mother passed away from a heart attack when I was in elementary school..."

Lin Qian lowered her head sadly, a bitter feeling spreading through her heart, as if countless needles were piercing her heart.

She clutched the hem of her clothes, her voice very soft: "Lu Beiting, I'm scared."

Lu Beiting held her tightly, his voice low and steady, "What are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid I'll end up like my mother, and I'm afraid you'll abandon me and leave too."

She was afraid that things would turn out the way they did three years ago.

She was left alone, secretly crying.

"I won't abandon you." Lu Beiting patted her back gently. "I also won't become a scumbag like Xia Jichuan."

Lin Qian raised her teary eyes, "Really?"

Lu Beiting rubbed her head and coaxed, "If you dare to lie to my baby, may you be struck by lightning and die a horrible death."

When leaving the town of Nansang.

Lin Qian turned back again, gazing longingly at her mother's tombstone.

For some reason, she still felt very uneasy, extremely uneasy.

She always felt that Lu Beiting would leave her at any time, and that the sweetness she felt now would soon disappear, like a dream.

She was plagued by anxiety and seemed even more anxious and stressed than before.

Mom, if you have a spirit in heaven, I hope you can bless me.

Please bless me so I won't be sad because of Lu Beiting anymore...

On Wednesday, Aunt Xu Wan pulled Lin Qian aside and asked, "Qianqian, do you still remember Aunt Zhou?"

Since the incident at home, Xu Wan has been recuperating in the hospital and has only started moving around again in the last two days.

Lin Qian nodded: "I remember, she used to be our next-door neighbor. She was very kind and helped us a lot."

Xu Wan: "Yes, she just flew back from England a few days ago. She's become so stylish and rich now! She even invited the two of us to dinner the day after tomorrow."

"Huh? You only invited the two of us? And your name isn't Lin Yize?"

Xu Wan secretly covered her mouth and laughed, "Oh dear~ Qianqian, you'll know when you get there."

Lin Qian was puzzled, feeling that there was something strange about her aunt's smile.

It's not right.

Something's very wrong!

-

The day after tomorrow, Lin Qian followed Xu Wan to the Western restaurant as promised.

This restaurant is very upscale, with an average cost of 1,000 yuan per person. The environment is elegant and tranquil, with soothing classical piano music playing in the air.

As soon as Lin Qian walked into the reserved dining table, she saw Aunt Zhou sitting inside, dressed in a cheongsam, looking elegant and graceful.

Sitting next to Aunt Zhou was a young man who was both familiar and unfamiliar.

The man had regular features and a refined demeanor. He wore gold-rimmed glasses and a well-tailored light gray suit, with gentle eyes and brows.

Lin Qian didn't recognize him at first.

The other person looked particularly surprised, clearly not recognizing Lin Qian either.

He hesitated before speaking, "You are...?"

Lin Qian was wearing a white floral dress with a beige shawl, and her long, black hair was slightly curled.

She wore light makeup and a dusty rose lipstick, which made her skin look even whiter.

Xu Wan pulled Lin Qian to sit down, chuckling, "What, don't you recognize me? This is Lin Qian! She lived next door to you when we were little, and you two played together every day, saying you'd never be apart!"

The man suddenly realized, "Little sister Qianqian?"

Lin Qian finally recognized him and smiled politely, "Brother Shuyan."

Wen Shuyan's gaze lingered on Lin Qian. "Qianqian, you... have become much more beautiful."

Lin Qian showed no particular emotional fluctuation and responded politely:

"Thank you. You're even more elegant than before."

Lin Qian happened to be sitting opposite Wen Shuyan.

When Lin Qian saw Xu Wan and Aunt Zhou exchanging frequent winks and exchanging gossipy and excited glances, she noticed their expressions.

Lin Qian finally understood:

So this was a trap.

They came to find a partner.
