Bread or love, which would you choose?
It’s an age-old dilemma.
Xiao Yuchuan thought he was the exception, greedy enough to want both.
But when you keep a balance for too long, you inevitably find yourself tilting toward the side that weighs more in your heart.
He thought no one would ever know...
Until he lost An Xia for good.
-
On the day An Xia found out she was pregnant, she discovered that Xiao Yuchuan was cheating on her.
She had always thought she was the one and only, until the other woman barged into her home in broad daylight with people in tow, claiming to be his fiancee.
A few resounding slaps and a bucket of red paint left An Xia in a wretched state.
The next day, the whole internet knew An Xia as the woman who had broken up someone else’s relationship.
People pointed fingers at her and hurled abuse without restraint.
They even went after her retired parents in their village.
Ten years of love still couldn’t compete with his ambition to climb the social ladder by currying favor with the powerful.
An Xia accepted her bad luck, terminated the pregnancy, and vanished from Xiao Yuchuan’s world for good.
*
An Xia disappeared for three years. Xiao Yuchuan went mad for three years.
When they met again, she was already married.
Seeing the two figures, one tall and one short, Xiao Yuchuan was struck as if by lightning.
He stood frozen in place, his lips moving for a long time without managing to form a single complete word.
An Xia simply smiled at him calmly, her eyes filled with the relief of having let everything go.
She patted the little girl beside her. “Be good and call him Uncle.”
