Especially on the first edition, a massive photograph dominated the entire page.
The woman in the photo radiated a beaming smile, her slightly curled hair pinned up, and she was wearing a red strapless gown that hugged her figure. Adorned with a pair of red satin high heels, she looked tall and enchanting.
The man standing by her side was none other than Gu Xiuting.
Gu Xiuting himself was in a white tailcoat, looking dashing and handsome.
Bai Man looped her arm through Gu Xiuting’s, and as he inclined his head slightly towards her, their eyes brimming with affection, they made a picture-perfect couple.
The journalist used this snapshot for the entire page’s headline, a huge color photo where every detail was clear.
Xu Chaomu stared at this photo for a long time, and it reminded her of the engagement photo of Bai Man and Shen Chi she had seen in the newspaper five years ago.
Just like that, five years had slipped by.
Xu Chaomu followed the photo to read the news content; it was nothing but wedding details, the grandeur, and the guests, including the bridesmaids and groomsmen.
Those journalists really had too much free time, scrutinizing everything so thoroughly.
The news piece was accompanied by many photos, and Xu Chaomu saw Bai Man greeting the guests, toasting, kissing Gu Xiuting, and many more…
Bai Man looked very happy in these photos, always with a smile on her face.
Of course, amidst these reports, Xu Chaomu still inappropriately found the name Shen Chi.
Journalists love gossip news, indeed. At the engagement banquet, someone mentioned Shen Chi, but Bai Man dismissed it lightly, saying that the man had become part of the past.
After saying that, Bai Man looked at Gu Xiuting with an air of ease, and Gu Xiuting, with love, wrapped his arm around her shoulders.
The newspaper described them just so, and Xu Chaomu could picture the scene in her head as she read.
Bai Man called Shen Chi an ex-boyfriend, but she did not mention anything about what had happened five years ago; it was as if it truly became the past.
Even those journalists couldn’t figure it out, whether five years ago, it was Shen Chi who had dumped Bai Man, or vice versa.
Xu Chaomu, seeing this news, strangely didn’t have any particular thoughts.
The whole International Entertainment section’s headline was about Bai Man and Gu Xiuting’s engagement, which was held in Washington and was very grand.
The current Bai Man seemed to have stepped out of the entertainment circle, and from what Gu Xiuting implied, it was as if he wanted Bai Man to come home and be a full-time wife, that he would take care of her.
Xu Chaomu silently perused these stories, flipping through page by page.
The breakfast on the table was still steaming, and the sunlight from the window fell on her, time moving very slowly.
She was reading the newspaper, and Wealth was playing noisily.
Just then, the door opened.
Shen Chi walked in, startling Xu Chaomu slightly, but after a few seconds, she regained her composure.
“You’re back,” Xu Chaomu said to him.
She had no time to put away the newspaper and could only leave it beside her.
“Why are you reading the newspaper?” Shen Chi came over. “Breakfast has gone cold.”
He stood behind her, wrapping his arms around her waist and resting his chin on her shoulder.
“I wasn’t reading it. I bought it to line Wealth’s dog bed,” Xu Chaomu asserted deliberately.
Shen Chi chuckled upon hearing this poor lie and whispered in her ear, “Wealth’s dog bed doesn’t need a newspaper.”
His warm breath brushed against her neck, causing her hair to softly graze her skin, sending a tingly sensation through her.
Xu Chaomu’s heart raced wildly; even after sharing a bed for so long, he could still make her feel this fluttered.
“Have you had breakfast? Shall we eat together?” Xu Chaomu asked.
“I have eaten, and now, let me have a look at the newspaper,” Shen Chi replied.
After he finished speaking, he freed one hand and took the newspaper that was on the table. Xu Chaomu wanted to snatch it back, but Shen Chi had already taken it away.
Only then did Shen Chi let go of her, saying to her, “Eat your breakfast, be good.”
Xu Chaomu nodded and picked up the spoon from the table.
She gently stirred the clear porridge in the bowl, staying silent without speaking.
Shen Chi, after taking the newspaper, started to flip through it, guessing Xu Chaomu’s little schemes.
Yesterday was the day Bai Man and Gu Xiuting had their engagement, could Xu Chaomu be wanting to read about that?
As Shen Chi turned the pages of the newspaper, indeed, he saw the engagement photos of Bai Man and Gu Xiuting, along with a series of reports and interviews.
Is this girl overthinking something again…
He glanced at Xu Chaomu using his peripheral vision and sure enough, she had a heavy-hearted look on her face.
After a long while, Xu Chaomu spoke up, asking faintly, “Shen Chi, let’s go see the baby later, shall we?”
In the past few days, the excuse Shen Chi gave her was that the child still needed medical care, and by the time she was discharged from the hospital, she would be able to see the baby.
Xu Chaomu had never punctured Shen Chi’s lie, knowing that he had not yet decided when to tell her the truth.
These days, they were deceiving each other like this.
Shen Chi’s hand paused, see the baby…
A few seconds later, he calmed his emotions, and as usual, said nonchalantly, “The doctor said…”
“The doctor said the baby is no longer here, right?”
This time, Xu Chaomu interrupted him! She swiftly and decisively spoke the truth!
Rather than having him struggle every day, putting on a calm demeanor to talk to her, it’s better for her to be the one to break the deadlock.
Shen Chi was completely stunned, his pupils dilating, enlarging…
He lifted his head to look at Xu Chaomu and realized, she knew!
After saying those words, Xu Chaomu seemed as if her soul had been drained, leaving only an empty shell behind.
“Chaomu…”
“I know it all,” Xu Chaomu didn’t give him the chance to speak, continuing, “I’ve known for several days, it’s okay, I’m composed.”
Shen Chi put down the newspaper and embraced her shoulders, looking very intently at her.
“Mumu…” Shen Chi spoke, his face full of agony, “I’m sorry… it’s my fault… I couldn’t save our little one…”
“It’s not your fault,” Xu Chaomu said blandly.
She lowered her head, not daring to meet Shen Chi’s eyes, afraid of seeing a vulnerable and embarrassed Xu Chaomu reflected in his pupils.
“You don’t need to blame yourself,” Xu Chaomu added, her face void of much expression.
Over the last few days, she had come through alone, burying all her sorrow deep in her heart; she had no reason to blame Shen Chi for anything.
“Mumu, promise me, don’t be too sad, okay… promise me, you’ll take good care of yourself, and if you want to cry, tell me, but you mustn’t cry, okay?” Shen Chi’s tone had a pleading quality to it.
He still didn’t know that Xu Chaomu had been aware of this all along.
How had she withstood all this by herself these days…
Why was he so obtuse to think that the smile she showed every day meant he had concealed it well, not realizing she had learned the truth long ago.
“I promise you…”
Shen Chi pulled her tightly into his arms, stroking her forehead.

At this moment, Xu Chaomu was much stronger than he had imagined…
