Xia Wei's fingers trembled slightly as she clutched the envelope Lin Mo had secretly handed her.
She returned to her apartment, locked the door, and only then opened the yellowed envelope with cautious fingers. Inside were several photos—blurry, taken from a distance, but unmistakable.
One photo showed Shen Yicheng, five years ago, sitting in a car with a woman. Another showed them entering a private villa together. And the final one… was a hospital record. The woman's name was circled: Liu Yuyan.
Xia Wei's breath caught. This wasn't just any woman. Liu Yuyan had once been her friend.
No. More than that—her best friend.
Her eyes scanned the medical record again. Pregnancy confirmed. Estimated date: three months before the divorce.
Her fingertips went cold.
So that was it.
The sudden, heartless divorce. The cold silence. The fact that Shen Yicheng had never once explained why.
It wasn't just betrayal. It was betrayal from both of them.
She closed her eyes. For a moment, she was silent. Then she whispered to herself, "This is why you looked so guilty when we met again."
She clenched the envelope tight and tossed it into the drawer. There was no time for emotion now.
Because Xia Wei had her own secret too.
And when it came out… the entire game would change.
