Hupo was walking alone in the garden.

She suddenly heard the sound of the cameras taking pictures outside the garden and turned her head to check out what was going on.

They were reporters.

"I've heard that Mr. Ke has a mistress. She's not bad."

"Mr. Ke is getting engaged tonight. But she's so quiet. If all the mistresses are as tolerant as her, they can definitely get along well with the wives."

"Do you think she's prettier than Meng Qinqin?"

"No matter how pretty she is, she's just a mistress who has to be behind the scene."

Hupo pinched her nails into her flesh and silently walked towards the main hall. She could not bear to hear one more word from those people.

What could she do?

What could she do?

That night, Hupo only ate one mouthful of rice and went into her bedroom.

She turned on the TV and she quietly sat on the bed, watching Ke Beichen and Meng Qinqin's engagement party.

A lot of people were there. All of them were the upper-class celebrities in City T. Ke Beichen and Meng Qinqin, who were walking hand in hand. They seemed to match each other.

Her heart was bleeding.

Hupo rushed into the bathroom and let the cold water poured down to her face. Not long after, she slipped and fell asleep on the floor of the bathroom.

Could I just fall asleep like this for the rest of my life?

Could I choose not to meet Ke Beichen?

"Why were you so careless?" She opened her eyes when hearing Ke Beichen's low and cold rebuke.

She smiled faintly. "Did I disturb you?" He must be very annoyed because she disturbed his engagement party.

"No. But be careful next time." If he hadn't called the nanny to ask what she was doing, the child would have been gone by the time she was found fainted.

"Alright." She answered obediently with a faint smile, as elegant and beautiful as the first time they met.

He hugged her tightly. "Lan Hupo, can you just be nice to yourself?" In this period of time, her belly grew larger and larger, but she had been losing weight.

He had always known that the woman in his arms was no longer the same Lan Hupo as before.

"Beichen, I want a date." Lan Hupo smiled gently.

"Sure, do whatever you want." Ke Beichen was about to kiss Hupo on the forehead when his phone suddenly rang, which broke the peace in the room and he let go of Hupo. Ke Beichen picked up the phone and walked out. "Qinqin, what's wrong?"

"My parents are still at the hotel and the engagement party is not over yet. You'd better come back and explain it to them." Meng Qinqin shouted and hung up.

Ke Beichen turned to look at the ward. Everyone had a mission. His wedding with Meng Qinqin had to be held on time; even Lan Hupo could not stop it.

He asked the nanny to take care of Hupo and then left the hospital.

Hupo waited for a long time but he did not return. She picked up her phone and scanned through the gossip news, and knew that he had rushed back to the banquet.

That was true. She was just a pet that he kept, just his mistress. That was what everyone in the city thought. Even her father and Jiang Lam thought so.

No one remembered it was her birthday today.
