+—- Author’s note —–+

Hello, dears,

welcome my new editor Psycho S, please!

I decided to invest my first web’s paycheck back into my by getting an amazing editor.

It’s my way to show how grateful I’m and also to thank all the people who supported me until now.

From now on, Psycho S will edit QT:AMW’s new releases, and at the same time, will make sure to slowly edit this ’s earlier chapters. (Earlier chapters will take a while to edit as both of us prefer quality over quantity.)

I strongly believe that S’s talent with words will bring a new depth to this , increasing its quality to a new high.

We both want to make sure you get what you pay for.

Thank you. ??

Su Min was in despair- in the end, she still couldn’t protect her child. Surrounded in this endless abyss, she wept, “You’re right... I’m a cheap woman. Falling in love with you was my biggest mistake!”

“You can’t escape from me. Even if you die, I won’t let you go! You’ll always belong to me! You will always be mine!” Mo Luwei scoffed as he began to drive.

The sensation in Su Min’s lower abdomen was painful. Pinpricks of pain centred around her abdomen almost made her eyes roll back. The need to urinate was becoming unbearable. She struggled in vocally asserting her need toward Mo Luwei. Her voice was thin, her tone an especially pitiful thing to hear: “Pull over, I need to use the toilet.”

Mo Luwei, not one to fall for another one of Su Min’s tricks, would roll his eyes and grit his teeth in annoyance, “What tricks are you playing this time?”

“Stop the car, or I’ll piss everywhere!” Su Min gnashed her teeth and eventually threatened the cleanliness of Mo Luwei’s car. Thankfully, her threat worked in getting the disgusted Mo Luwei into stopping the car.

“Well, hurry up!”

Su Min hurriedly left the car and went in search of a private enough area where she could peacefully pee. While searching for the perfect toilet location, she listened to Mo Luwei’s ringtone -that he quickly answered- and subsequently, his loud yelling.

“How is Su Luqin gone?! If something happens to her, all of you will be fired!” Mo Luwei, enraged and feeling as though his fierce yelling wasn’t enough, drew his fist back and punched the car window.

The frightening sound of shattering glass made Su Min flinch back in fear. Immediately, after retrieving his hand that was dyed a morbid red, he would give her a frustrated glance.

After ending the call, he went into the car and started the engine. It was clear that he was getting ready to leave.

“Mo Luwei, no, don’t- don’t go! Don’t leave! My stomach hurts. I’m... I’m bleeding!” Su Min panicked. She was on the cusp of bursting out into tears as she tried to stop Mo Luwei from leaving. If he went away, how would she leave this desolate hell?

“What does that have to do with me?” Mo Luwei frowned impatiently. He gave her a look- one void of emotions. With no remorse in his heart, he drove away with an additional, almost mocking rev of his engine.

His car disappeared far off into the horizon, leaving the frozen Su Min in the dark; the road was empty without any sign of any cars coming for a long time. When she had left her frozen state, immediately, she curled into herself with a scream so raw it tore up the vocal cords of her throat; such a scream would strike anyone who heard it in their heart.

When he was hurt, she carried him on her back to the hospital for 3 kilometres, not putting him down until she fainted. Not once did she complain about dragging his weight on her back. At that moment, when her faith in Mo Luwei was unwavering, she never voiced how heavy he was: how exhausted she was; how much she ached to quit and take a break. But in return, how did he treat her? For her love and undying loyalty, what did he give back?

He lashed out against her whenever he was annoyed. He left her for another woman -and god did that hurt; she doubted she’d be able to open her heart once more to a man when her aching heart longed for him alone-. He left her here, in this forsaken place, uncaring of the way she bled and the way her body curled inwards from pain. He was selfish and cruel, so why did she find that a part of her heart was still so in love with him? Why could her heart never learn?

Her scream exhausted almost all of her strength. Because of this, her vision became blurred and her consciousnesses faded in and out of reality. She came to the abrupt realisation that in all her mournful thinking, she’d forgotten about her child. “My- my child...” She whispered to herself. “Ho...hospital...”

She closed her eyes as she distantly realised that her child would not be welcomed kindly by the world. In her ears, far off in the distance, she could hear the soft voice of a woman.

“Stupid... Why leave the hospital? No matter what, you’ll end up there one way or another,” Bing Shi stepped on the brakes and got out of the car. Before Su Min could completely become unconscious, she wrapped her arms Su Min, successfully catching her.

[[Host... She... she’s losing her female lead’s aura!]]

XiaoPu accompanied Su Min this whole time, apathetically watching Su Min – as she crumbled into herself, the strength within her completely eradicated and her confidence slowly becoming erased- until his Host arrived.

Bing Shi looked up at the starry sky, thinking to herself as she adjusted her hold on Su Min.

[[“Does it matter if she’s a female lead or not? Even still she ended up like this... barely alive... even her sanity is barely intact... because the world said so...?”]]

It was the second time for XiaoPu to see this side of his Host. The first time was right after she killed his ex-host. His new host never actively showed off her superiority; ever since the first time he saw her, she would suppress it. It wasn’t that she couldn’t hide her presence- it’s just that, now, his host had far too much presence.

The pressure around her was both free and united; this was reflected in every strand of hair that swayed with the winds and it was reflected in the dark light of her eyes. Even the wisps of clouds that escaped her open lips conjured the most brilliant mosaics of white and grey art in this nightly darkness.

XiaoPu felt a buzz in his head.

|Let me speak to my wife.|

Li Jie looked at Bing Shi, his brows scrunched together, forming a frown as he observed her in confusion. Did he also turn crazy? What normal person would give their stalker their car keys?! Maybe it was because she saved Su Min and because of that, she received a bit of his trust.

|My dear, calm down. Don’t let the whole world see your beauty.|

|”Hubby. Oh? Ok. Ok. Ok.”|

While Li Jie called an emergency helicopter, Bing Shi fed Su Min some medication to prevent miscarriage and she also fed her some pain relief pills that she bought during the ride here.

|”Hubby... There are two devils on my shoulders. They’re telling me to be like them, but I still decided to listen to my angelic self. “|

|Let me guess. Those little devils told you to let Su Min die on the roads because she brought it upon herself, so you can play the hero who protects the weak and punishes the bullies? I love your devils, but I love your choices more. |

Hearing his contagious chuckle, Bing Shi joined in and grinned albeit devilishly.

|”You know me the best!”|

|It’s hurting me to see you covered in blood. Go home right after you drop her off. There’s an almond bath waiting just for you. |

|”Yes, Sir!”|

Lu Kai smiled dotingly. No matter what life put her through, she always chose to be who she wanted to be. It was one of the few similarities they shared, though they expressed this similarity in different ways.

· · — · ???· — · ·

With Li Jie’s help, they moved Su Min carefully inside his car to keep her warm.

“We’re going to be in tomorrow’s headlines,” Li Jie commented as they waited for help outside. He and Bing Shi were both leaning against the car, looking up at the sky, “You seem happy.”

Bing Shi nodded cutely, her lips spreading to reveal an almost bragging smile as she talked about Su Luqin with Lu Kai, “It’s because I get to be with my hubby.”

She noticed how Li Jie was about to open his mouth and give a long – painfully boring- speech. In a bid to stop Li Jie from talking nonsense, Bing Shi smugly retrieved her marriage certificate from her backpack and showed it off to him, “Look, I’m happily married!”

“So whenever you mentioned your husband... you were talking about him?”

“Yes!”

“...” Li Jie felt as if someone just slapped him in the face with a huge flyswatter.
