Boyfriend's passive-aggressive behavior, she turns the tables and makes him her backup option.

"Not going to sleep with me a second time? You slept with me hundreds of times back then, how come you're so happy with your lover that your memory is failing you?"

The driver's scalp tingled.

Xie Jingyao caught Lin Tinghan in her room back then.

Naturally, he referred to Lin Tinghan as a "adulterer".

Xie Jingyao raised his hand and stroked Si Nian's cheek, his voice tinged with amusement: "Divorce your lover, or I can't guarantee how long you can keep your secret hidden."

The hairs on Si Nian's cheek stood on end when he touched her.

She clenched her fists tightly and replied calmly, "I have no secrets."

"That guy surnamed Zhou."

Xie Jingyao slowly parted his lips.

Si Nian's pupils contracted slightly, and she pushed Xie Jingyao away.

This time, Xie Jingyao did not stop Si Nian from leaving. He just watched her back with a cold and complicated look in his eyes.

After leaving the hotel, Si Nian returned to the Lin family home.

She took out her key and opened the door to the music room. The heavy, soundproof door closed, and her tense expression relaxed for a moment.

She leaned against the wall and took out a crumpled death certificate from her bag.

This was given to her by a person dressed in a very formal manner at her wedding today.

Si Nian's fingers rubbed against the name in the name column, and she forcefully pried off the character "Zhou".

Why would Xie Jingyao suddenly bring up someone who passed away five years ago?

What exactly does he know?

Lin Tinghan didn't return until close to midnight.

At that time, Si Nian had just left the music room and was passing by the study when she overheard Lin Tinghan and his mother talking.

Lin's mother asked suspiciously, "Is that child really your son? Did you have an affair?"

"The paternity test confirms he's my son, but it doesn't count as infidelity..."

"What are your plans regarding Si Nian? What if she minds Heng Heng's presence?"

"She wouldn't mind. She loves me so much that she'd even abandon her own family, and her brother's heart is in my body. Do you think she'd be willing to leave me?"

Lin's mother sighed: "The Lin family has raised her for twelve years. If word gets out, it will give us a reputation for mistreatment, which will not be good for the Lin family. You'd better not go too far in your actions."

"I will entrust the child to her to raise in the future. As long as she is honest and law-abiding and treats Hengheng as her own son, she will always be Mrs. Lin."

Lin's mother: "Although she and our family are not a good match, we'll consider her heart..."

Lin Tinghan frowned and interrupted, "Mom, I promised her brother I would marry her, and I never intended to go back on my word."

Si Nian stood at the door of the study, forgetting to breathe for a moment. She felt a chill emanating from her limbs, making her tremble uncontrollably.

She didn't know how much time had passed before she finally regained her strength and returned to her bedroom in a daze.

Lin Tinghan suffers from congenital heart disease, which flared up a few years ago and became so severe that he could no longer get out of bed.

In the end, it was Si Nian's heart that saved Lin Tinghan's life.

At that time, Lin Tinghan had a girlfriend, but she broke up with him when he was seriously ill. During that period, besides his family, only Si Nian was by Lin Tinghan's side.

Si Nian thought that Lin Tinghan confessed his feelings to her after the successful surgery, because he had been moved by her after spending so much time with her.

Was it all just to repay her brother's kindness?

When Lin Tinghan reappeared in front of Si Nian, it was already late at night.

He hugged Si Nian from behind, utterly exhausted: "Nian Nian, why aren't you asleep yet?"

Si Nian sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, feeling Lin Tinghan's embrace, and she subconsciously resisted.

After realizing this, Lin Tinghan let go of his hand and explained, "Hengheng is a gift from God. His appearance made up for my poor health and the regret of not being able to have children. As long as you are willing, he will be our child from now on."

Si Nian didn't answer, but instead asked, "The paternity test results are in, right?"

"Um."

"Congratulations on becoming a father," Si Nian said bitterly.

"But Hengheng is quite afraid of you. During this time, please be patient with him and take good care of him so that he can adapt..."

Si Nian couldn't help but interrupt him: "You cheated on me, didn't you?"

Lin Tinghan frowned and denied it: "How could that be? Hengheng traveled from the future!"

Do you really believe in time travel?

"I don't want to believe it either, but the paternity test results and Hengheng's words about the prophecy are strong evidence!"

Lin Tinghan wanted to say something more, but her phone suddenly rang.

"Mr. Lin, Miss Chen has woken up."

Upon hearing this, he hurriedly stood up, his tone filled with anticipation: "I haven't had a chance to tell Bitong about Hengheng yet, I'll go tell her!"

So on their wedding night, Si Nian stayed alone in the bridal chamber.

She was woken up early the next morning by the noise of children.

Every few minutes, someone would bang on her door as if playing a prank, then run away laughing.

After several attempts, Si Nian was completely unable to fall asleep.

When the door was banged on again, Si Nian pulled it open and saw Lin Ziheng, who hadn't run far.

Upon seeing Si Nian, Lin Ziheng screamed and ran away, yelling, "The evil witch is awake! Run!"

Si Nian's eyes turned cold as she said to the nanny beside her, "Keep an eye on him and don't let him run around."

The nanny pulled Lin Ziheng back, preventing him from running around: "Young Master, don't run away. The Young Madam has woken up. Please greet her."

"I'm not going to say hello to her!"

"Young Master, you should speak politely to the Young Madam..."

"Why should I? Dad said I'm in charge of this house from now on, and I'll kick that wicked woman out sooner or later! If you say another word, I'll have Dad fire you!"

The nanny was a little embarrassed. She didn't want to offend Si Nian, but she didn't want to offend this little tyrant in front of her even more.

Fortunately, Si Nian simply closed the door and didn't seem angry.

The nanny had just breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Lin Ziheng run off again.

Inside the room, Si Nian was replying to messages from her best friend, Song Shuyi.

The wedding was suddenly canceled yesterday, and her phone was bombarded with messages from her friends.

Song Shuyi, in particular, was so anxious that she wanted to come to the Lin family to find her.

Si Nian must have had doubts about Lin Tinghan's suddenly appearing son.

Yesterday, she subconsciously felt that Hengheng was arranged by Xie Jingyao to disrupt her wedding.

However, Lin Tinghan said that the paternity test showed that the two were biologically father and son.

Si Nian finished typing, but still hadn't received a reply from Song Shuyi.

Then I saw a pop-up window on my phone, displaying the latest gossip news.

The second son of the Lin Group reunited with his first love on his wedding night, and their intimate interactions suggested a rekindling of their old flame!

The accompanying picture shows Lin Tinghan pushing Chen Bitong's wheelchair in the hospital.

Another photo shows him reaching out to straighten Chen Bitong's clothes, the gesture appearing familiar and intimate.

Chen Bitong cooperated, tilting her head slightly and gazing affectionately at the man in front of her.

There was another knock on the door, interrupting Si Nian's gaze from the screen.

The nanny's hesitant voice came through: "Young Madam, the key to the music room... did you give it to the young master?"

Si Nian's heart tightened. "I never give the key to the music room to anyone else."

Seeing the fleeting guilt on the nanny's face, Si Nian felt a sense of foreboding.

She quickly pushed the nanny aside and walked towards the music room.

The entire music room was a complete mess.

Several cellos were knocked to the ground, some bows were broken, some were soaked in water, and the sheet music was crumpled into a messy ball.

Si Nian walked past several antique violins with high collection value and went straight to the cello at the far end, which was kept in a glass cabinet.

It also suffered the same fate, with two of its strings being cut!

Si Nian felt a buzzing in her head as she carefully lifted the cello from the ground.

Then, she went downstairs to find the culprit.

She spoke coldly to Lin Ziheng, who was sitting on the carpet playing with Lego.

"Did you break my piano? Apologize to me."

Lin Ziheng looked up with a smug look: "Dad said that the things belonging to the Lin family are my things..."

Before he could finish speaking, he saw Si Nian take a Transformer toy in his hand, and with a "snap," its head was twisted off.

Immediately afterwards, Si Nian broke off the Transformer's limbs and threw them on the ground.

She lifted Lin Ziheng from the ground, grabbing him by the collar: "Apologize."

Lin Ziheng flailed in the air, only to have his collar tightened further, his face turning red as he stammered, "I...I'm sorry."

Si Nian released her grip, and Lin Ziheng fell to the ground with a thud.

"If you dare touch my piano again, I'll twist your head next time," Si Nian threatened with a dark face.

Lin Ziheng sat on the ground, instinctively covered his head, and burst into tears before running outside.

"Si Nian, what are you doing!"
