Since he rose to prominence, Yu Jin had developed this aura, a kind of presence like that of someone in a higher position.
“Who knows if you and that Tang Li have anything going on?”
Yu Jin’s words carried no pretense at all, spoken as casually as normal conversation. Every single word landed clearly in my ears.
“But you have to understand, doing a paternity test is very harmful to an unborn child!”
I almost screamed at him, nearly hysterical. No one knew better than me that this child was his.
But even though the child was his, the one in Fang Tian’s belly received endless love and care, while the child he shared with me…
Comparing the two made my whole body tremble with anger. My fingers went white as I clutched the bedsheet beneath me. “No! I won’t do this paternity test!” I threw every ounce of strength into my protest. At that moment, the bedroom door was pushed open from the outside.
The door had never been locked. Since Fang Tian had moved into this house, it had become a habit not to lock it. And so, my embarrassing, shameful state was completely exposed to her.
Fang Tian took one glance at the scene before her and instantly understood what was happening. She had overheard much of it from the doorway just a moment ago.
She wore loose clothing, her lower abdomen slightly rounded, though not as obvious as mine. She stepped forward slowly, letting out a gentle laugh as she said to me, “Meng Yanshuang, doing a paternity test won’t kill the child. Medical technology is very advanced these days.”
Her sweet voice would normally be pleasant, but to me, it sounded unbearably sharp, as if I wanted to immediately cover her mouth.
I quickly turned my gaze to Yu Jin. Just as a flicker of emotion had passed across his face, it was replaced by firm resolve. “Tian Tian is right,” he said with righteous authority.
Yu Jin spoke calmly, catching Fang Tian as she leaned in, in a protective gesture.
The two of them, handsome and beautiful, looked like a divine couple, a match made in heaven. And I… felt like the ridiculous interloper, the mistress intruding on their love.
My face went pale. I forced a smile but refused to show weakness. “It’s not your child, so of course you don’t care.”
My conversations with Fang Tian were always like this—sharp as knives, every word a battle.
Tears instantly filled Fang Tian’s eyes, as if my harsh words had wounded her. She pitifully said, “Sister Meng, how can you say that? I’m just thinking about your happiness and Jin Gege’s.”
“Doing a paternity test will clear up misunderstandings between the two of you and put everyone’s mind at ease,” she added in her soft, gentle voice—one that naturally calms men and pleases them.
But I couldn’t act like that. I found the demeanor completely disgusting.
Hearing her words, I sensed trouble. Her every phrase seemed to hint at something else. Though ostensibly for Yu Jin’s sake, she was subtly implying that I was guilty.
This child could not possibly be Yu Jin’s.
I wouldn’t have noticed such things before, but after marriage… perhaps from witnessing so many schemes and intrigues, I had unconsciously learned to recognize them. And I had realized this now, almost instinctively.
I laughed bitterly. “Fang Tian, don’t slander me. I know what you’re really trying to say.”
By then, I was too furious to think clearly, my whole mind consumed with the desire to confront Fang Tian and make sure she never appeared before me again.
The words came out before I could think.
Fang Tian seemed startled by the volume of my voice. She quickly moved behind Yu Jin, gripping his sleeve tightly, adopting the posture of someone seeking protection.
This display clearly pleased Yu Jin’s sense of masculinity. Raising an eyebrow, he looked at me and said loudly, “Meng Yanshuang, what did Tian Tian say? Does that require you to speak to her like this?”
“I find you truly unreasonable,” I shot back.
His words stunned me for a moment, but I didn’t miss the look in Fang Tian’s eyes as she peeked from behind him—full of glee, endless malice, and sheer cruelty.
