Zhang Yuan had learned to live with Ning Tang over the years.
However, she had never forgotten the moment she had separated from the person she loved. Zhang Yuan would never forget the fatal coercion that Ning Tang used to break them up.
The memory brought up a feeling of hatred and regret in Zhang Yuan.
Ning Tang had forced himself on her in front of Gu Bo. Her body had been in so much pain.
When she opened her eyes, all she saw was Ning Tang's henchmen beating Gu Bo to a pulp at the door.
"Gu Bo!
"No..."
Ning Tang had forced her to look at the person at the door.
"You like him so much? I want him to see how you are pressed under me and how you call me."
It had been an embarrassing and dirty scene.
However, Gu Bo had not said a word. He did not desire to make the situation worse for Zhang Yuan.
He lay on the ground and did not make a sound.
The hatred from that night was hard for Zhang Yuan to erase. She had truly loved Gu Bo, but she was forced by her family to marry Ning Tang. How could she not hate him?
She had vowed that she would never give birth to Ning Tang's child!
However, after that night, Zhang Yuan became pregnant. Ning Tang approached her father and asked for her hand in marriage. He even used Gu Bo to force her to compromise.
Zhang Yuan had no choice but to compromise, and her father was more than willing to marry her off.
Soon after their marriage, Zhang Yuan had deliberately slipped down the stairs hoping that she would abort the child. She wanted to take revenge on Ning Tang!
She hired people in the media to spread rumors around the capital that she was infertile. Zhang Yuan also convinced a well-known doctor to prepare a false report that would prove she was barren.
At that time, Zhang Yuan was bitter.
She did not want Ning Tang to have a child of his own. She wanted him to be childless and live in pain for the rest of his life.
However, Ning Tang found a doctor who exposed her lie. He desperately wanted her to give birth to a child for the Ning family.
After a few years, Zhang Yuan conceived again. When Ning Tang learned about the pregnancy, he took a year's leave and guarded her day and night to prevent her from getting rid of the child.
When Zhang Yuan saw that she could not abort her pregnancy anymore, she thought of an even crazier way to take revenge on Ning Tang. Any time she got pregnant, she would swap her biological child with an abandoned baby.
Ning Tang was not aware of Zhang Yuan's intentions.
She used the trick and raised Ning Zongxuan and Ning Tangxi as her children after swapping them with her biological children. Every time she saw that Ning Tang was foolishly giving his love to his non-biological children, the joy in her heart would spread endlessly.
Later on, Zhang Yuan got pregnant with a third child.
Fortunately, Ning Tang had been trapped in a foreign country and had not been around for the duration of the pregnancy. After delivering the child, Zhang Yuan had looked at her beautiful daughter and gotten emotional.
She was so small and adorable as she curled up beside her, which attracted Zhang Yuan's endless love and pity.
She did not want to abandon her daughter. Instead, she decided to hand her over to Gu Bo.
It was their only chance to see each other again before Ning Tang made it back to the country.
"Gu Bo, I'll leave my daughter in your care.
"If it were possible, I would have loved to give birth to a child for you."
Gu Bo had held the child in his arms emotionally as he had watched her leave. They had both sobbed continuously before parting ways.
For Zhang Yuan, seeing Gu Bo for the last time had felt like death.
It was not until many years later that her emotions finally changed.
Ning Tang's love and tenderness had begun to dissolve the hatred in her heart. Even if she could never truly love him, she accepted the fact that she was Mrs. Ning.
After a few years, she accepted Ning Tang as her husband.
However, after they moved to the city, Zhang Yuan had bumped into Zhou Yunxi, and all the memories had come flooding back again.
