Mu Chenyan rarely went online ever since she got pregnant with her second baby. She would only go online when she wanted to have a video call with Yuan Tian who was far away overseas. It was much more comfortable video chatting using her laptop than her phone. That was why she would go online at a certain point of time.

She never expected that she would see a comment from Su Qingcheng when she logged onto the QQ website today.

Mu Chenyan had posted a picture of her ultrasound scan on her profile. The woman who had disappeared for a long time commented with a smiley face emoji and wrote, “Congratulations, Chenyan. I miss you very much!”

Mu Chenyan was extremely happy and excited. She shouted, “Yuan Xuan, come here quickly.”

Chef Yuan wiped his hands and rushed out of the kitchen when he heard his wife yelling for him. The man’s handsome face still looked the same as before. His distinctly angular and sharp features made him look cold. This man was blessed enough to get the chance to enjoy fatherhood for the second time. He beamed like a proud father with every move he made. It was completely apparent.

“What’s wrong?” Yuan Xuan’s voice was deep and raspy as he held Mu Chenyan’s shoulders.

Mu Chenyan pointed at the comment on her profile in excitement. When Yuan Xuan saw the commenter’s name was “Superb Smile”, he understood everything at once. “Is that Su Qingcheng?”

Mu Chenyan nodded right away. “She changed her cell phone number and isn’t using her original WeChat account anymore, but she’s been using her QQ account all along. She probably left this comment when she went online.”

Yuan Xuan straightened up. A dull glimmer flashed across his dark eyes as he took his cell phone and dialed Yan Jun’s number. “Su Qingcheng logged onto her QQ account two hours ago. Go and search for the address where she had logged on. I’ll send you the original message.”

Yan Jun knew that this matter had something to do with Mr. Shao when he received the order. He hurriedly gathered the hackers and told them to get to work.

In less than half an hour, they had discovered that she had logged on from Yan Zhou.

Mu Chenyan was still pretending to be Guo Jingze’s wife in City A when Su Qingcheng left Luo Hai. Both women had quickly gotten new phone numbers and WeChat accounts to escape from their jilted lovers who were chasing after them. They had decided to sever all previous forms of communication with each other. They did not come into contact with the other party at all during those two to three years. Their only remaining way of contacting each other was through QQ.

Today, Su Qingcheng left a comment on Mu Chenyan’s post without thinking much about it because she had merely felt nostalgic.

She felt rather depressed when she went offline, so she stayed in the study room and wrote an entry to her diary.

She had not lost her habit of writing her diary by hand after so many years.

She left her first diary behind for Shao Yibai, and that was when it all started. She must write a few lines in her diary every day once her son was asleep. Sometimes she would write about the things she had realized about life. Most of the time, she wrote about her feelings for Shao Yibai.

The woman took a shower after writing her diary, but she was unable to sleep.

It was already late. A light breeze rose and blew in this summer night. Su Qingcheng went out to the balcony and drank a bottle of beer.

She was not a good drinker. She had only drunk with Shao Yibai in Capital City before, and he would always take advantage of her every time she drank too much.

She was very obedient at that time. One look from Shao Yibai was enough to make her spread her slim legs.

She matured with each passing year after she fled to Luo Hai. She fought with Shao Yibai, but she slept with him as well. She did not shy away from anything, including hurting him, just to get away from that man.

Right now, he was in Capital City while she was in Yan Zhou. Su Qingcheng laughed at herself in her mind. It was impossible for her to escape from the maze that Shao Yibai had built around her.

She had initially come to Yan Zhou because this was the place where their love had first blossomed. Back then, she had fallen in love with her instructor with the enthusiasm of a teenage girl and without caring about anything else…

The local people in Yan Zhou preferred to refer to Su Qingcheng’s Heaven and Earth Martial Arts Club as a martial arts center.

Yan Zhou was a small city that was located near the border. She merely worked at this place as a temporary martial arts coach when she first arrived here.

The little children adored her because she was beautiful and gentle. She earned more money when she taught more classes. As it was the school holidays at that time, Su Qingcheng brought Su Shaoan with her so that she could teach more classes. He would learn with the other children during their classes. Now he had ended up causing trouble using the martial arts skills that he had mastered…

In the end, Su Qingcheng decided to become a stockholder and own half of the club.

The original owner spent several years in Yan Zhou before migrating overseas. He sold the remaining shares to Su Qingcheng at a low price. The training center that was rather well-known in Yan Zhou became Su Qingcheng’s property after that.

There were about twenty to thirty people who were employed there. Some of them were retired soldiers while others were lonely people like her who had no one else to depend on.

The club was busiest during the summer and winter holidays, but children would usually come and attend the classes on Saturdays and Sundays as well.

Right now, Su Qingcheng did not plan to teach many classes. Her main aim was to take care of Su Shaoan and make it convenient for herself to manage the business.

Today, little Su Shaoan looked at her with his glistening doe-like eyes as he put himself among a group of older boys and girls who were almost a foot taller than him to sit for her mother’s lesson.

Su Qingcheng shot a glance at him but remained silent.

She had taught the students in this class for almost three years, but they were still learning basic fistfighting because they did not practice daily. To be honest, Su Shaoan’s stamina and skills were superior to theirs.

Su Qingcheng told the children to do their warm-up practices first. After that, they would do boxing and blocking for about half an hour before doing jiu-jitsu training for another thirty minutes.

Su Shaoan underwent heart surgery when he was younger. Su Qingcheng had been too afraid to allow him to attend the training at first. However, she had never expected that his body would be fine after following their sessions for some time. Moreover, he had become even stronger than before.

Su Qingcheng never stopped him from attending her lessons after that.

After the recent fight at school, the little boy ensured that he would be on his best behavior today. His attitude was extremely cooperative, and he was very meticulous during the training session.

Su Qingcheng walked up next to him. There was a charming smile on his face when he said, “Mom…”

“Call me Miss Su!” Su Qingcheng did not care about giving him face at all. Little Su Shaoan kept quiet immediately.

He exerted more force in his little fists as he waved them around.

Su Qingcheng rolled her eyes at him. He would still need to attend school on Monday. Nonetheless, it would be less likely for him to get into trouble if he vented out his anger during these two days.

On Monday, Su Qingcheng woke up early in the morning and made breakfast for Su Shaoan. After his meal, Su Shaoan went to school refreshed and with a full stomach. Su Qingcheng thought about reminding him about certain things again, but she realized that it was unnecessary. It would be somewhat unfair to him.

Su Qingcheng would not approve it if he merely stood back and allowed other children to hit him.

“Mom, can we go and eat spicy hot pot for lunch after you pick me up from school today?” Su Shaoan was not very friendly toward other people, but he knew how to pander to his mother.

Su Qingcheng’s face grew stern. “It’s bad for little children to eat spicy food all the time.”

“I’m eating it to spend time with my mom.” Su Shaoan smiled, trying his best to butter her up.

Su Qingcheng’s heart warmed up. She ruffled her son’s hair and replied happily, “Alright, we’ll discuss this later once you’re done with school.”

The mother and son spent some time together before Su Shaoan set his mind at rest and entered the schoolyard.

In the afternoon, Su Qingcheng put on some light makeup beforehand when she recalled her son’s suggestion about going out to eat. Su Shaoan was slightly conceited. He would be delighted for a long time if his classmates complimented his mother on her beauty when she attended his parent-teacher meetings.

Su Qingcheng put in some effort when she applied her makeup today so that she could give her son some face.

She wore a light blue sleeveless long dress that highlighted her beautiful figure and her snow-white skin. She tried on her high-heels that she had not worn in a long time. Now that she was older, she exuded a more mature type of beauty. Although she did not constantly look at herself in the mirror, she knew that she was getting more beautiful.

Despite that, she felt that her reflection looked rather stunning when she looked at herself in the mirror. She muttered to herself, “It would look better if I wore high heels…”

Su Qingcheng grabbed her beige-colored handbag and looked at her watch. Classes were almost over, so she decided to leave and drive to school then

She waited at the entrance for some time. All of Su Shaoan’s classmates had left, but she had not seen any sign of that little boy. Su Qingcheng began to grow anxious. Had the teacher forced him to stay back because he caused trouble again?

She dialed Miss Zhang’s cell phone number. The teacher was very shocked. “Miss Su, Su Shaoan’s father came in the afternoon to pick your son up. Didn’t you know that?”

Su Qingcheng was instantly stunned. “His father? What father?”

Miss Zhang was little afraid. She stammered, “He said that he was Su Shaoan’s father. He was a… A handsome man who spoke with an accent from the capital…”

A buzzing noise filled Su Qingcheng’s head. Her tone sounded rather desperate when she said, “How could you let my son leave with someone else without getting my permission?”

Miss Zhang was extremely frightened now. She said tearfully, “Your son said that he knew him, and that man had a family picture with all three of you in it. I really thought that he was his father. Miss Su, if there are problems in your family, please take your time and fix them. I think that the boy and his father are very close. It would be rather extreme if you kept refusing to let him see his son. This will be troublesome for your child when he grows up as well…”

Su Qingcheng was at a loss for words. How was that relevant to anything?
