Su Yige became much more cautious when searching for a new house after being deceived by the intermediary last time.
Although it was more expensive than the market valuation, the communities around it were pleasant.
However, she knew she wouldn't be able to stay there for long.
Su Yige bought daily necessities for Bai Yeqi in the supermarket near where she lived.
Bai Yeqi only followed quietly behind her as he became increasingly curious about her private life.
He didn't even know why he had someone tailing her these days.
Perhaps it was because she bore a resemblance to Shu Yanian.
He hadn't been treated well by Shu Yanian, and that was why he always felt discontented. Besides, the brief encounter he had with Su Yige made him curious about her, leading him to pay more attention to her.
That was what he thought to himself.
However, Su Yige said after she had finished showing him around the apartment, "I'll take my leave now..."
"Where are you going?" Bai Yeqi's expression suddenly changed. Where else could she possibly go?
Su Yige was surprised at how quickly he changed his mood.
She replied in a serious manner, "It is inappropriate for a man and woman to stay in the same place. I can't continue living here if you're staying at my place."
Bai Yeqi narrowed his eyes as his expression carried a hint of threat.
He suddenly smirked teasingly. "Now you're being virtuous."
Su Yige's face instantly turned pale.
She didn't know why Bai Yeqi came to Yunzhou City back then, and she had no idea why Gong Zeyang brought her to Bai Yeqi's bed.
It was such a long time ago, and she didn't want to delve into it anymore.
Su Yige was betrayed by the person she loved the most.
She had loved Gong Zeyang so deeply and blindly that she lost herself in love.
She couldn't quite recall why she had loved him so much even now. Perhaps it was just out of habit. Gong Zeyang was the only person she had ever loved since her childhood after all.
What hurt her the most was how Gong Zeyang handed her over to Bai Yeqi even though he was already treating her poorly.
She was pathetic.
Bai Yeqi's words suggested that he had recognized she was the woman back then.
She was surprised that he still remembered her.
Su Yige asked coldly, "You're right, I wasn't a decent person before. But, life goes on. Can't I change for the better?"
Bai Yeqi realized he might have chosen poor words at that instant.
However, he couldn't apologize to her now, could he?
"I'm leaving."
Su Yige picked up her bag and left following that.
...
She descended the stairs and sat down shortly after leaving.
She felt cold throughout her body as she buried her head in her knees.
In truth, she wished she had a wise father who could guide her through all the rights and wrongs like Su Ziyue did, from the moment she was born.
Su Yige liked Su Yizi when she was young.
Su Yizi was very gentle with the children. He was always smiling and approachable. Unsurprisingly, most children adored him.
However, her grandmother and parents told her that her uncle was a bad person who would take everything away from the Su Family.
She didn't fully understand what they meant at that time.
They would often whisper in her ear, persuading her that Su Yizi was a bad person, so she ended up perceiving him that way. Her belief was further cemented when he was later imprisoned because of that incident.
They also told her that Su Ziyue would replace her in the Su Family after Su Ziyue joined the Su Family and that she must drive her away.
All of those felt as if they had happened a long time ago, looking back on the past events now.
What kind of a family would do that?
They were full of schemes and jealousy. Everyone was in it only for their own interests.
Su Yizi and Su Ziyue didn't seem to resemble the Su Family members. Otherwise, Su Yizi wouldn't have met such a tragic fate now that she thought about it.
She contemplated death multiple times during the time when she first went abroad after being betrayed by those she loved most.
Even the baby in her womb was an illegitimate one.
But, she might never become a mother in this lifetime if she decided not to give birth to the baby.
She lived in the hospital for a long time, feeling desolate and gloomy back then.
Her attending physician was a middle-aged woman, who was beautiful and graceful. She would often bring her own child to visit Su Yige at the hospital.
Many people would help her when she went out occasionally as soon as they noticed she was pregnant.
She realized that there was still kindness in this world at that time.
She still encountered kind people despite her miserable circumstances, and she felt deeply grateful.
Thankfully, her condition gradually improved after the baby was born.
All the pain and despair in the past no longer seemed as terrifying after the passage of time.
However, she was entangled with the last person she wanted to be involved with now. There was still trouble for her after all.
Involving herself with Bai Yeqi was a gamble far too risky.
The Bai Family would undoubtedly take her son away from her if they found out about his existence.
Su Yige took a deep breath and slowly descended the stairs.
She knew that she couldn't bring her son back to the country for now.
