After the divorce, my ex-husband's cousin tricked me into getting a marriage certificate.

Xu Weiyan pretended to be relaxed and continued, "It was found out last month. The doctor said that if I don't have surgery, I have at most six months left. I didn't want to tell you, but I'm afraid I might suddenly pass away..."

As Xu Weiyan spoke, she began to choke up, “I’m afraid that if I suddenly leave, I won’t have the chance to say what I want to say to you, Mu An. I’ve thought a lot during this time. I miss the carefree life we ​​had in college.”

"Mu An, I was wrong. You loved me so much, but I betrayed you. I dare not ask for your forgiveness. This illness is karma, the retribution for my betrayal. It is my own fault..."

Zhao Mengmeng looked at Qi Mu'an.

He pursed his lips, seemingly unable to process the fact that Xu Weiyan had cancer.

At that moment, Zhao Mengmeng's heart suddenly ached.

She was a little scared.

Qi Mu'an and Xu Weiyan were each other's first love and had been together for many years. If it weren't for Xu Weiyan's betrayal, they would have grown old together.

Feeling a lump in her throat, Zhao Mengmeng turned and walked away.

Qiao Ran and Ding Ding quickly followed.

Qi Muci glanced at Xu Weiyan, grabbed his brother's arm, and forcibly dragged Qi Muan away.

As they stepped out of the store, Qi Muci whispered a warning in Qi Mu'an's ear:

"Don't forget how she treated you back then. Her illness has nothing to do with you. Don't meddle in other people's business and don't make Mengmeng sad."

Qi Mu'an, brought to her senses by her brother's words, said, "I know, I won't sympathize with her."

Qi Muci was skeptical of his brother's answer. His biggest problem was that he was easily swayed. "Xu Weiyan knows your weakness. Putting aside whether she is really sick or not, so what?"

"What she just said clearly means she wants your sympathy. Don't fall into her trap."

Xu Weiyan ruined Zhao Mengmeng's shopping mood, and everything she saw annoyed her.

Qiao Ran knew that Zhao Mengmeng was upset, so she lied and said that she was tired and wanted to have a cup of coffee to rest.

When they arrived at the coffee shop, she pulled Zhao Mengmeng and Ding Ding along to accompany her to the restroom.

As soon as she entered, Qiao Ran locked the door from the inside. "Alright, there's no one here anymore, you don't need to hold your breath."

Zhao Mengmeng let out a long sigh.

"How could I have encountered such a melodramatic situation? Did you see Mu An's eyes just now? He was so worried about that woman. I'm really afraid they'll rekindle their old flame."

Ding Ding dismissed it, saying, "How could that be? What man could stand his wife cheating on him? Chairman Qi isn't stupid; you're overthinking it."

"I think Chairman Qi is just surprised, which is normal. After all, they used to live together. If your ex-husband suddenly told you that he had cancer, wouldn't you be surprised?"

Qiao Ran agreed, "Yes, Mengmeng, I also think that at this time, you must not be suspicious. I think this is a good opportunity to test your relationship with your older brother."

"If... I mean if, if Big Brother really can't forget Xu Weiyan, then we're better off without a man like that."

Ding Ding nodded in agreement, "It's a good thing you and Chairman Qi haven't gotten your marriage certificate yet. If he really rekindles his old flame with his ex-wife, then you should leave quickly and let them be together."

"But didn't that woman say she only has six months left? Even if we let them be together, it'll be pointless. Does she intend to drag Chairman Qi down with her even in death?"

Zhao Mengmeng cried, her face contorted in tears, and remained silent.

Qiao Ran put her arm around Zhao Mengmeng's shoulder. "But then again, if I were in that situation, I would definitely feel terrible too. We understand how you feel."

Ding Ding also came over and hugged Zhao Mengmeng, saying, "If Chairman Qi really rekindles his old flame with that woman, then I'll help you beat him up."

Zhao Mengmeng chuckled, "He's your boss, after all."

Ding Ding: "So what if he's my boss? If he dares to bully my sister, I'll still beat him to a pulp."

The three of them stayed in the restroom for a while, composed themselves, and then prepared to go back for coffee.

As soon as I opened the bathroom door, I saw Qi Mu'an standing in the doorway.

"Why did you stay inside for so long?" Qi Mu'an asked with a smile, feeling a pang of sympathy when he saw Zhao Mengmeng's red eyes.

Zhao Mengmeng rolled her eyes at Qi Mu'an, "None of your business. Who are you to me?"

Qi Mu'an took Zhao Mengmeng's hand and said to Qiao Ran and Ding Ding, "I want to say a few words to Mengmeng."

Qiao Ran and Ding Ding wisely left.

"Let go of me!" Zhao Mengmeng glared, trying to pull her hand back.

Qi Mu'an gripped him even tighter. "I won't let go. If I do, and you run away, where will I find you?"

Zhao Mengmeng pouted, "Why are you chasing me? You just want me to run away, don't you? Tomorrow I'll move back to my own apartment and make room for your ex-wife so she can move in and keep you company. She needs someone to take care of her anyway."

Qi Mu'an grabbed Zhao Mengmeng's head and covered her mouth with his hand.

Zhao Mengmeng struggled and punched Qi Mu'an a few times, but he only hugged her tighter.

The cleaning lady came over with a mop to clean, but when she saw this embarrassing scene, she quickly ran away.

Qi Mu'an then released Zhao Mengmeng and said angrily, "Don't say such things again. I'm done with her. You are my girlfriend. I won't forgive her just because of a few words she said."

"I was just surprised and didn't know what to say. I didn't have any other thoughts."

Zhao Mengmeng pouted, "If you dare to have any other ideas, I'll kill you!"

Qi Mu'an laughed, "Okay, I'll personally hand you the knife then. You must stab me in the chest and kill me with one blow."

When Qiao Ran saw Qi Mu'an returning with Zhao Mengmeng in his arms, she knew that the two had made up.

She breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Qi Muci, saying, "Let's go to Mom and Dad's after we finish this coffee."

Qi Muci glanced at his brother and Zhao Mengmeng, then replied to Qiao Ran, "Okay."

Dingding had to attend a company staff gathering that evening, so she didn't go to Qi's house with them.

When Qiao Ran and her group of four arrived at the Qi family's residence, everyone else was already there.

She and Zhao Mengmeng distributed the gifts they bought to the elders, and everyone was very happy.

Xiang Wanli pulled Qiao Ran aside and asked, "Do you have any good news?"

Qiao Ran was a little embarrassed. "Grandma, not yet."

Xiang Wanli pouted and glared at Qi Muci, "It must be your problem. Did you drink the medicine I gave you? You have such a strong body, but you're all show and no substance."

Qi Muci looked at Qiao Ran with a wronged expression, "Wife, tell Grandma, am I all looks and no substance?"

Qiao Ran was speechless. "Grandma, he's working really hard."

Xiang Wanli: "That means you haven't tried hard enough, Mu Ci. You need to keep up the good work, you know?"

Qi Muci was both amused and exasperated. "Grandma, I'm worried that Ranran's body can't handle it."

Qiao Ran's face turned as red as a monkey's bottom.

Fortunately, her mother-in-law, Shen Qinglan, came to her rescue, saying, "Mom, don't put too much pressure on them. They are both healthy, and getting pregnant is just a matter of time."

Zhou Yu, who was standing nearby, smiled and said, "Yes, my dear mother-in-law, children are also a matter of fate. When the time is right, they will come."

Xiang Wanli: "Okay, I won't rush them anymore. What about Mu An? Mu An, when are you and Mengmeng going to get your marriage certificate?"

Zhao Mengmeng remembered her chance encounter with Xu Weiyan at the mall, and her eyes welled up with tears when she heard the old lady's words.

She sniffed. "Grandma, I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you. We don't have that plan for the time being."
