Yang Xiyu recalled what happened back then.

She was just a college student at the time.

At that time, Lin Cheng had just become super popular with several singles to his name. Because of his superb appearance, Lin Cheng quickly gained a large number of fans.

Yang Xiyu was one of them.

At first, she just followed news about Lin Cheng and supported Lin Cheng’s works like many other fans.

But soon, she began to fall deeper and deeper into obsession, and she began to join various Lin Cheng fan groups like crazy, just to get more photos and news of Lin Cheng.

Later, just online photos, some news, or the occasional fan meetings could no longer satisfy Yang Xiyu. She began to frantically participate in all of Lin Cheng’s activities, following his itinerary through various cities, and she began to follow Lin Cheng’s schedule, watching him when he was recording programs and even staying at the same hotel where he was staying.

Finally, Yang Xiyu waited for an opportunity and successfully sneaked into Lin Cheng’s room and finally had an encounter with Lin Cheng.

At that time, Yang Xiyu was like a demon. She was no longer satisfied with such close contact with her idol like other improper fans.

She had a bolder idea: she wanted to give birth to a child for Lin Cheng, and then rely on the child to marry her idol and become a true Mrs. Lin Cheng.

With this idea in mind, in order to ensure her plan succeeded, what Yang Xiyu first thought after seeing the incapacitated Lin Cheng that day was not to do something with him but rather to get something from him.

Yang Xiyu got what she wanted and left the hotel in a hurry.

The research project of her mentor in college at the time was in vitro fertilization. Taking advantage of the laboratory she had access to, Yang Xiyu successfully started her pregnancy.

Worried about being discovered by her teachers, Yang Xiyu chose to drop out of college.

She rented a good house just outside the school with the allowance given by her family. Because she spent lavishly at the beginning, she soon ran out of funds. She was also worried that if she continued to ask for money from her family, they would realize something was up and she would be caught. So Yang Xiyu had to move to a more downscaled place, and she lived in a cheap, old residential area.

Just when Yang Xiyu finally settled down and was eagerly waiting to become Mrs. Lin Cheng, in just the span of three months, black materials about Lin Cheng began to be exposed one after another on the Internet.

Seemingly overnight, Lin Cheng changed from a cold musical genius to a scumbag with a chaotic private life.

After their idol collapsed, fans who once liked Lin Cheng lost their enthusiasm, one after another, and began to dislike him.

Yang Xiyu was also suddenly faced with the realization that she didn’t like Lin Cheng at all. To be precise, what she liked was Lin Cheng’s stage character, not Lin Cheng—the person himself.

Yang Xiyu regretted it and wanted to abort the child but she was told that she was too far along for this matter to be done safely.

At that time, her family finally discovered that she had dropped out of school. Yang Xiyu did not dare to tell her family the truth, so she could only lie about being broken hearted and going on a trip with her friends to recover.

Strangely, her parents didn’t blame her.

Because there was a problem with their family’s business at that time, and her parents had gone abroad to avoid their debts, they really had no energy to blame her, so they just asked her to go home quickly.

After another month of delay, Yang Xiyu, who was already in a panic, had no choice but to buy some medicine on the Internet that was said to be able to abort the child in her stomach, and she took it.

As a result, the child was not aborted at all, but was instead born prematurely.

With barely any thought, Yang Xiyu threw the baby— who was only a few days old at the time—into a nearby garbage dump.

After that, Yang Xiyu went abroad with her parents, and the mistakes she made as a young woman were forgotten.

——

This time, Yang Xiyu had no choice but to return to China.

Their family’s business abroad was once again in crisis. Because her family left China in a hurry, they still had some assets in the country that they had not had time to dispose of. When she came back this time, she planned to cash in those assets and bring the proceeds back to fill their company’s financial holes.

Because she was afraid of being harassed by their previous business partners who had been cheated by their family, when Yang Xiyu came back this time, she did not tell anyone, and she planned to leave just as quietly after finishing this matter.

After these many years, Yang Xiyu had almost forgotten what she had done back then.

However, just when she returned to China, she saw Lin Cheng and his child appear on an airport video advertisement. She was dumbfounded: originally, she thought that after what happened that year, Lin Cheng would have become cold and would no longer be able to work in the entertainment industry and such a person would no longer appear before her. But beyond all her expectations, Lin Cheng has somehow become famous again.

When those people who claimed to be Lin Cheng’s assistants found her, Yang Xiyu knew that she was finished, but she didn’t expect that Lin Cheng would come to see her in person.

Yang Xiyu lowered her head, not daring to look at Lin Cheng.

After struggling for a long time, Yang Xiyu whispered ‘I’m sorry’ and begged Lin Cheng for forgiveness.

Lin Cheng looked at Yang Xiyu with narrowed eyes before saying coldly, “I don’t accept your apology.”

Hearing this, Yang Xiyu’s face turned pale and she looked at Lin Cheng in horror, “You…”

She was not stupid. From the current situation, she could already guess that Lin Cheng’s identity was not simple. If the other party wanted to pursue what happened back then, her life would be over.

“Please listen to my explanation, I—“

“It’s not necessary,” Lin Cheng interrupted Yang Xiyu and then said, “The reason why I came to you is not to listen to your so-called explanation, but to understand the original situation and look for clues.”

“Clues?” Yang Xiyu was stunned.

“How did you know I was in that hotel that day, how did you get the key card, and how did you get into my room? What happened during the process? Who did you encounter?”

“This… it’s been too long, I can’t remember it anymore,” Yang Xiyu whispered.

Lin Cheng didn’t say anything, just looked at the other party coldly.

Under such pressure, Yang Xiyu spoke again, “Let me think about it.”

After a while, she said, “I found out about your schedule at that time through a fan group. It wasn’t just me—many improper fans also received the same news.”

“After that…” After thinking about it, Yang Xiyu added, “I don’t know why, but no one stopped me, so I just slipped in. There were two staff members chatting at that time, and they said you had returned to your room. I happened to hear them say the room number and so I just went up there. As for the room key… I picked it up from the floor after they left.”

Recalling what happened that day, Yang Xiyu felt that it was incredibly smooth—unbelievably so.
