Mengmeng stared at the two lines that appeared on the kit. This was the second time she tried the test.

Pregnant… She was pregnant… how could that be? She was said to be Bai Jingye’s fiancé, right? Could he be the father? But… their marriage was just an arrangement. Her husband has someone else he loved. Could she be… seeing another man before she got into an accident then?

She went out of the restroom with her face as white as a sheet. She staggered, her knees losing their strength. She was lucky enough to be caught by Bai Jingye who happened to be standing outside, waiting for her to come out.

“I-I’m pregnant…” she stuttered. 

“I am not the father,” he said coldly, dissipating one of her doubts. He didn’t want her to think that there could be something between them before she lost her memories.

“I know…” she mumbled. If he was the father, he would at least change the way he treated her and change his mind about the divorce. 

To be honest, she didn’t know what to feel. Should she be happy or should she be depressed? With her memories gone, finding out the father of the child was nearly impossible.

Reluctantly, Mengmeng decided to ask him the truth about their relationship this time, “please be honest. Am I really your fiancé before the accident happened?”

Being his childhood friend and being his fiancé were different matters after all.

Bai Jingye didn’t think twice in answering her as he straightforwardly replied, “no, you weren’t. You’re only a stranger who saved my grandfather. That’s all.”

“But grandpa said-”

“You shouldn’t believe everything he told you.”

She was a total stranger huh? Not his childhood friend or his fiancé. She didn’t have a connection with him from the beginning.

The man supporting her was kind enough to lead her to the bed, allowing her to sit on the side of the bed.

He was not going to comfort her just because she was this troubled. He didn’t care. He turned and went back to the sofa. “We need to get some rest. We need to be early tomorrow to pack our things at home,” he said coldly.

How can she sleep after learning that she was pregnant? After learning that she has zero connections with his family? The old man lied about everything. Strangely enough, she wasn’t angry about it. He probably did that to repay her. He was only trying to help her, right? All her identity cards, even her phone, any information about her were burnt in the accident. With no money, no background, she would definitely become a beggar and starve.

“Please don’t let anyone know about this…” Especially Bai Keran. She was afraid that he might feel betrayed if he found out.

Seconds ticked by but no answer came from the man who was now lying down the sofa. 

He won’t tell anyone about it after all they just got married. If others were to know, it would be an insult to him. At least that was what she thought.

She unconsciously placed her hand on her stomach. She needed to have her memories back but how? The doctor said that if she spent her time around the people she knew, if she has some items that belonged to her then perhaps, her memories would return. The only problem was… she was not familiar with the people around her. They were all strangers. That must be the only reason why even after a week of stay in the old man Bai’s place, she regained nothing.

It was a long night for Mengmeng. A lot of things were going on in her mind. She was anxious, confused, stressed. She was only able to fall asleep when her eyes grew tired.

…

The next day, Bai Jingye dropped his wife at his place. 

She was quiet the whole time and never said a word to him while they were on their way. He didn’t try to start a conversation either. The atmosphere around them was heavy. No matter how he looked at it, she was so bothered by her pregnancy. He couldn’t do anything about her condition. There were more important things to do at that moment. 

Shortly after he dropped her, he ordered his servant to pack his things for him before he headed off to somewhere, leaving her alone.
