When Fu Yuzhang heard Lu Zhiran's words, he was suddenly shocked.

He looked into Lu Zhiran's clear eyes, as if he could see the sorrow and alienation deep in her heart.

He took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and slowly said, "Ran'er, you know my feelings for Xiangxiu, but I never thought of wronging you. I am indeed responsible for what happened today. It was because I didn't handle it well that you suffered such a grievance."

A scumbag is a scumbag. He wants this and that.

Lu Zhiran now feels that talking to Fu Yuzhang is a waste of time.

Lu Zhiran shook her head gently. Her face looked particularly gentle in the afterglow of the setting sun, but the alienation in her eyes was like an insurmountable gap.

She whispered, "Fu Yuzhang, I know your favorite person is Zhang Xiangxiu. As long as you can give me a decent wife, I will be very satisfied."

Fu Yuzhang's heart tightened. He held Lu Zhiran's hand and said anxiously, "Ran'er, I..."

Lu Zhiran gently pulled her hand back and interrupted Fu Yuzhang's words with a bit of determination in her voice: "Fu Yuzhang, I'm tired and don't want to discuss these issues anymore."

"I'm back!"

Lu Zhiran turned and left, her back looked so determined and lonely in the sunset. Fu Yuzhang looked at her leaving back, and an indescribable sense of loss and regret surged in his heart.

Maybe I really did something wrong.

He wanted too much, but ignored Lu Zhiran's feelings. His greed made him lose her trust, and also the innocence and warmth in her heart.

As the night deepened, Fu Yuzhang stood alone in the courtyard, staring at the starry sky in a daze.

He recalled every bit of his acquaintance with Lu Zhiran, and those sweet and beautiful times seemed to be just yesterday. However, the cruel reality forced him to face the predicament before him.

He knew very well that he couldn't just give up on Lu Zhiran. He loved her and wanted to win her heart back.

But how should he do it?

Just as Fu Yuzhang was lost in thought, the sound of soft footsteps broke the silence of the night.

He turned around and saw Zhang Xiangxiu standing not far away with a complicated expression on her face.

Seeing Zhang Xiangxiu, Fu Yuzhang's expression suddenly turned cold. His usually cynical face now seemed to be covered with frost, cold and hard.

"What are you doing here?" His voice was somewhat cold and distant, as if Zhang Xiangxiu in front of him was just a stranger.

Zhang Xiangxiu's heart felt like it was hit by a heavy hammer, but she still bit her lips tightly to prevent her tears from flowing.

She knew that although Fu Yuzhang defended her in front of outsiders today, it would definitely not be so easy for him to forgive her in his heart.

However, she had to come because she was afraid, afraid of losing Fu Yuzhang, the only person she could rely on.

After all, now, the only one she can catch is Fu Yuzhang.

She raised her head and looked at Fu Yuzhang, her bright eyes full of pleading and determination. "Yuzhang, I can explain the fake pregnancy."

Her voice was trembling a little, but still firm.

Fu Yuzhang looked at her coldly without saying anything.

His eyes were full of confusion and disappointment, as if he was looking at a stranger.

He even couldn't understand how a woman who was once so proud could become so calculating and vicious.

Seeing Fu Yuzhang's eyes, Zhang Xiangxiu's heart ached, but she still plucked up her courage and walked towards Fu Yuzhang step by step.

Although her appearance is not stunningly beautiful, she can be considered a pretty lady.

At this moment, her face was full of tear marks, which made her look even more pitiful.

She walked up to Fu Yuzhang, raised her hand, and wanted to hold his hand, but stopped in mid-air.

"That's because you treat Lu Zhiran so well. I'm afraid that you'll fall in love with her and never come to see me again."

Zhang Xiangxiu's voice was choked with sobs, and her eyes were full of fear and anxiety.

"So, I can only use fake pregnancy to keep you."

Fu Yuzhang looked at her. Such a humble Zhang Xiangxiu made him feel very strange, and he felt as if he was trapped by her.

"Only in this way can I make you come back and see only me."

Zhang Xiangxiu portrayed herself as extremely pitiful; no man could refuse a woman who would risk her life for him.

Sure enough, after Zhang Xiangxiu said this.

Fu Yuzhang's expression changed slightly and softened a little.

But I thought of Lu Zhiran’s cold and distant eyes.

Fu Yuzhang calmed down again.

He asked Zhang Xiangxiu coldly.

"If the fake pregnancy was for me, to get me back, then why did you frame Lu Zhiran?"

Zhang Xiangxiu's body trembled and her face turned pale. She bit her lips tightly to prevent herself from crying out.

Her eyes flickered with guilt and fear.

"I... I'm just too scared." Zhang Xiangxiu's voice was trembling. She lowered her head, not daring to look into Fu Yuzhang's eyes. "A fake pregnancy will always be exposed. I have to find a way to get rid of the baby."

"I just want to frame Lu Zhiran so that you will hate Lu Zhiran."

I saw Fu Yuzhang’s expression suddenly become very cold.

Zhang Xiangxiu hurriedly grabbed Fu Yuzhang's hand.

"Yu Zhang, I did that because I love you too much. I was afraid you would leave me. I was afraid I would lose you again."

Hearing what Zhang Xiangxiu said, Fu Yuzhang coldly withdrew his hand, his eyes full of disappointment and anger.

He didn't expect Zhang Xiangxiu to do such a despicable thing in order to keep him.

"Xiangxiu, you disappoint me so much." Fu Yuzhang's voice was trembling. "Love should not be based on lies and deception. Your behavior only makes me hate you more."

"Besides, you hurt Lu Zhiran!"

"Do you know that she now hates me too?"

I'd rather hate you!

I wish you would never see each other again until you die.

Zhang Xiangxiu was ecstatic inside, but pretended to be panicked on the surface.

"Yu Zhang, I'm sorry, I know I was wrong." Zhang Xiangxiu's voice was filled with tears, "But please believe me, I did this because I love you too much."

"Please forgive me this time!"

"We're back to the way we were before, just like we just met."

Zhang Xiangxiu took the opportunity to step forward and threw herself into Fu Yuzhang's arms.

Fu Yuzhang was stunned. He felt Zhang Xiangxiu's body trembling. The familiar fragrance lingered at his nose, making him a little dazed.

He looked down and saw Zhang Xiangxiu's tearful face, which used to be the most gentle harbor in his heart, but now made him feel strange and alienated.

Her face was still beautiful, and her almond-shaped eyes were filled with tears that seemed to be able to drip water.

The red lips that once moved his heart now made him feel sick. He thought of Lu Zhiran's clear eyes and felt a pain in his heart.

"Xiangxiu, you have changed." Fu Yuzhang's voice was a little hoarse, "You used to be simple and kind, why have you become so scheming now?"
