“Nothing more. You also have your own worries, so I don’t want to burden you with more troubles,” Shu Pan said.
“After your wedding, let’s talk more.”
“Alright, you’re pregnant too. Take care of yourself,” Ye Xiaomeng advised her.
Not long after Ye Xiaomeng hung up the phone, Cheng Yang returned. His hair seemed a bit damp.
“What’s wrong? Did it rain outside?” Ye Xiao Meng frowned.
“No, it’s just… hot… I’m sweating,” Cheng Yang stammered.
“Then go take a shower first. We’ll need to work on the invitations to notify our friends and family later,” Ye Xiaomeng said, glancing at him before heading back to the bedroom.
Cheng Yang entered the bathroom with his clothes, quickly finishing his shower. When he came out, Ye Xiaomeng was looking at the invitations.
Without looking up at him, Ye Xiaomeng continued working. Cheng Yang stood by awkwardly, wanting to say something but not knowing where to start.
After a while, Ye Xiaomeng called him over to help. He seemed absent-minded and distant, which annoyed Ye Xiaomeng a bit, but she held back considering her pregnancy.
Once they were done, and realized it was getting late, Ye Xiao Meng went to the bathroom. While putting clothes into the laundry basket, she froze. Cheng Yang’s underwear wasn’t the same as the one he wore this morning.
Normally, she bought him solid-colored underwear, not like the leopard-print one she was holding now. He wasn’t fond of flashy patterns. He had worn dark blue ones this morning. Why the change?
Clutching the underwear tightly, Ye Xiaomeng’s fingers turned white due to her grip. Was her patience and concessions met with betrayal over and over again? Did she still have the courage to keep going?
Ye Xiaomeng crouched down, her hands gripping her arms, tears involuntarily streaming down her face.
“Honey, are you okay? You’ve been in there for a while,” Cheng Yang’s knocking could be heard from outside.
“I’m fine. I’ll be out soon.” In a while, Ye Xiaomeng opened the door, her eyes red from crying.
It was another sleepless night. Ye Xiaomeng tossed and turned for most of the night, looking at Cheng Yang sleeping soundly beside her. Sleep evaded her.
In the morning, after Cheng Yang left, she finally got up. Shortly after, her phone rang. She thought it might be Cheng Yang, but it was an unfamiliar number.
“May I ask who’s calling?” Ye Xiaomeng answered, breaking the silence. contemporary romance
“Ms. Ye, let’s cut to the chase. We share a common man, Cheng. Can we meet and talk? Convenient for you?” The voice on the other end sounded arrogant.
“Sure, let’s meet at the café across from my house. I believe you know the place.” Ye Xiao Meng marveled at her own composure. Subconsciously, she already knew she’d have to face this someday. It was just a matter of time.
When Ye Xiaomeng arrived, she saw a long-haired, graceful woman sitting by the window. Even from her back, Xiaomeng knew it was her. She had caught a fleeting glimpse of her at the hospital, but it had left a deep impression.
Approaching her, she sat down across from her.
“Ye Xiaomeng, right? I’m Ling Snow. Has Cheng mentioned me to you? We

“No, he told me you were his sister, just a friend,” Ye Xiaomeng said expressionlessly.
“Huh, men’s words are often far from their hearts.. Can sisters do what lovers do? What do you think of Cheng wearing leopard-print underwear? Isn’t it sexy?”
