She covered her face with both hands. She felt as though she was going crazy.

No, definitely not. She must not let Chu Lui know about this. No one in the Chu family must know that they had a three-year-old granddaughter roaming outside. Neither must they know that that child belonged to Chu Lui. Based on what she knew about the Chu family members, they would bring the child into their home. With the unfulfilled viciousness and hatred that Chu Lui had with Xia Ruoxin, she was sure that they must have felt something for each other. Deep in her heart, she wouldn’t believe nothing was going on between both of them. If she lost Chu Lui, she would have to lose everything. She really, really couldn’t afford it. She would die.

Li Manni stood up hastily and ran to the washroom. She shut the door and looked at her reflection in the mirror. Was she the pale-faced woman who resembled a ghost? Was she the one who had cried her lungs out?

No. She was beautiful. There was no way she could look like that. She washed her face quickly and applied a layer of light makeup. Then, she examined herself in the mirror.

It was her—the elegant and kind woman in the mirror. That was Li Manni. She felt calmer after crying and knew that she must not let things continue the way it had.

Or else, she might lose everything.

After she had adjusted her breathing, she walked out of the washroom. Once again, she had reverted to being the elegant wife of the Chu Enterprise’s CEO.

When she entered the VIP room, she made sure to put on a flawless smile. However, in her eyes, an abnormal look flashed by. It was dark, cunning, and gloomy.

She sat beside Chu Lui, quietly listening to them discussing the details of the operation. As Chu Lui’s wife, it was natural for her to sit in and listen, even offer suggestions concerning her husband’s health.

A sarcastic smile appeared on her mouth as she lowered her head. Xia Ruoxin, so what if you have a child? She must not exist in this world. She must die, too. I won’t let her join the Chu family. Soon, she will be a pile of ashes. No one will know that you had actually given birth to Chu Lui’s child.

She smiled. It only made her look more sinister.

After everything had been agreed through the extensive discussion, Chu Lui went back for a well-deserved rest. Tomorrow, he had to come back for another full-body examination. Three days later—if everything goes well, they would have the operation.

There must be no errors during the operation. This was Chu Lui’s order. Naturally, it was also the hospital’s responsibility.

“Everything will be fine. I won’t let anything happen to me.” Of course, to that child, too. He promised himself in his mind. No matter what, he must save that child. She must not die. He was not sure why, but he couldn’t bear to let that tiny little girl die.

“Lui.” Li Manni gave him a confused look as her nails bit into the flesh of his arm. “Lui, can we not go through with the operation? It is really risky.”

“Manni, I must do it. That child is only three years old. What can a three-year-old possibly understand? If I can save her life, why not?” Chu Lui’s voice was stiff and filled with a hint of frustration. Li Manni felt his frustration, and she did not pursue further. She could tell that he did not suspect anything about the child’s ident.i.ty. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be this calm.

They were exceptionally quiet in the car. Li Manni had her hands around Chu Lui’s arm.

“Lui, I am really afraid. Will everything really be alright with the operation?” She choked back a sob in Chu Lui’s arms. He reached out and caressed her hair, but there was a distant look in his eyes.
