Chapter 781: If Life Were Just Like When First Met (7)
However, they did not make it past the seven-year itch.
After graduating from college, Yuan Shen took over the Yuan Group. Social events, dinners, banquets, and various activities followed one after another. With his status and family background, and a natural charm that attracted women, he was naturally surrounded by beautiful women, one after the other.
Over the years, Yuan Shen had been very devoted to Qin Qian, focusing on self-improvement and living simply, keeping himself pure. However, as the saying goes, often walking by the river, one’s shoes are bound to get wet. Gradually, the playful side of his nature began to resurface.
Qin Qian did not find a job. On one hand, Yuan Shen didn’t want her to go out, and on the other hand, since he had just taken over the Yuan Group, he wanted to prove his ability to his parents, hoping to earn enough respect to bring Qin Qian home and have them accept his choice. So Qin Qian stayed home, becoming the woman behind the scenes.
Qin Qian noticed the changes in her partner. At first, she didn’t want to believe it and tried to convince herself otherwise.
Because Yuan Shen told her that he didn’t want any other women but her, she foolishly believed him.
But once, twice, three times, he began coming home late, a faint scent of women’s perfume clinging to him, and one day, she even discovered lipstick on his white shirt.
The evidence was right in front of her, leaving Qin Qian no choice but to believe it.
She threw the shirt at Yuan Shen when he returned late once again and confronted him.
Yuan Shen responded quite openly, saying it happened accidentally while socializing.
After being together for so many years, Qin Qian could tell whether Yuan Shen was telling the truth or not. At that time, he was being honest, so she forgave him.
However, such incidents kept occurring, and each time they quarreled, Yuan Shen would coax her, and she would eventually relent and let go of her anger.
Perhaps because she forgave him so easily, Yuan Shen began to act with impunity.
Later, as her complaints and arguments became more frequent, he started to dismiss them.
The more indifferent he was, the deeper Qin Qian found herself trapped, wanting to hold on to him but finding it increasingly difficult.
At that time, they often quarreled, each fight more intense and merciless than the last.
The harshest remark Yuan Shen made was, "Qin Qian, I told you, my affairs outside are just a show. No matter how I play outside, I always come back home. Isn’t that enough for you?"
The man who once told her, "I don’t want them, I only want you," was now the same man saying, "No matter what I do, I’ll always come home. You should be content."
Qin Qian slapped Yuan Shen, and he slammed the door as he left.
He disappeared again for a month, and during that month, Qin Qian found out she was over two months pregnant.
The day she found out about the pregnancy, the sky was blue, and the sun was shining brightly. As she walked back from the hospital with the pregnancy check in her hand, Qin Qian took a deep breath, picked up her phone, and called Yuan Shen.
After dialing the familiar number on her phone, just as she was about to press the call button, a message beeped in.
Her hand paused, instinctively clicking on the message, and then... her phone crashed to the ground.
The next day, she scheduled an operation and terminated the pregnancy. A week later, she packed her bags and left L City.
