Su Xiaoxing opened her eyes to a glaring red wedding character that made them ache.
Beside her, a man breathed steadily. It was Gu Yanchuan, the husband she had driven away in her previous life.
In her past life, she had made a scene day after day and demanded a divorce, only to end up impoverished, lonely, and all alone.

He would be back at his unit by daybreak anyway, far beyond the emperor’s reach. That would give her the freedom to lead her whole family to prosperity.
But for all her careful calculations, she never expected that night to get so out of hand.

He stared at her stomach, his eyes dark. “Su Xiaoxing, you’d better explain yourself.”
