Jun Zishu was honestly a little surprised by this situation. She didn’t expect that she would have to experience such a forbidden relationship in this mission world. Although she was a little excited by the idea, having such a relationship wouldn’t be too good for their reputation. They’d also have difficulty receiving the blessing of others. Jun Zishu might not care about these things, but she didn’t wish for her beloved to have such a terrible experience.
[No, Lord doesn’t choose her identities consciously. She should’ve subconsciously chosen an identity that allows her to be the closest to you.]
Why didn’t she choose that homewrecker, then?
[I have no idea, either. ovo]
Little Fairy was also confused by this situation. However, she was already rubbing her hands together and warming her seat in anticipation of the following show.
How wide is the age gap between her and me?
Jun Zishu’s current body was already 25 years old. Although she wouldn’t mind it even if there was a 30-year age gap between herself and Lord, she definitely couldn’t bring herself to put her hands on an old lady. Not to mention, if such a large age gap existed between them, it’d mean that they wouldn’t have much time to spend with each other.
[Ten years.]
Hm? Give me her information.
It should be known that Qiu Ziqian was only one year older than Jian Qing. Although Lord’s current relationship with Qiu Ziqian was that of mother and son, it still felt a little bizarre for there to only be a ten-year age gap between them.
[Okay.]
Little Fairy quickly compiled the information and sent it to Jun Zishu.
Once Jun Zishu was done reading the report, she understood the gist of the situation.
Lord’s name in this world was Tang Qianqiu, and she was a powerful individual in this world.
Tang Qianqiu was the sole heir of the Tang family, and she began immersing herself in work from a young age. Tang Qianqiu was similar to Jun Zishu in this regard. In her original world, Jun Zishu had also actively participated in the matters of her parents’ company from a young age.
When Tang Qianqiu was 20, a health inspection discovered that she would have difficulty conceiving children. After making this discovery, Tang Qianqiu decided to adopt a child from a branch family. Meanwhile, the child was none other than Qiu Ziqian, and he had just lost his father at the time.
When Qiu Ziqian was brought into the main family, he was only 10 years old, while Tang Qianqiu was 20.
Qiu Ziqian understood full well that Tang Qianqiu wasn’t his mother. He also worried that Tang Qianqiu might have him replaced at any time. So, he would always behave obediently when in front of Tang Qianqiu.
Tang Qianqiu was constantly busy with her work, so she never placed much attention on educating her adopted son. She simply had people keep an eye on him and had him meet her requirements as her future successor. The last time Tang Qianqiu showed herself in front of Qiu Ziqian was two years ago when Jian Qing and Qiu Ziqian got married.
[Do you want to keep the child, Host?]
Huh?
[If you want to, I can help you with it.]
Abort it.
Just like in the original storyline, the child between Qiu Ziqian and Jian Qing ceased to exist.
Subsequently, darkness enveloped Jun Zishu’s world as the body she inhabited fell into a deep slumber.
When Jun Zishu opened her eyes again, what entered her eyes was a white ceiling. Then, a face entered her vision, and Jun Zishu reflexively frowned at this sight. However, she quickly realized her situation and erased her frown. Her expression changed so quickly that the person looking at her didn’t even notice the change.
“You’re awake, Honey,” Qiu Ziqian said, his expression looking a little apprehensive and heartbroken.
Jun Zishu was a little disgusted at receiving Qiu Ziqian’s gaze. After sorting out her emotions, she glared at him angrily, perfectly replicating the reaction of a woman who had caught her spouse cheating.
“Get out! I don’t want to see you right now!”
“Qingqing, please believe me. Everything you saw was just a misunderstanding. There really isn’t anything going on between me and her. We are just friends…”
“Friends? Will a friend sit on your lap? And inside your office, no less?” Jun Zishu questioned in a hoarse voice, tears pooling in her eyes.
However, despite her heated reaction on the surface, her heart was as calm as a still lake.
“We were just talking about something, and she decided to play a joke on me…”
Qiu Ziqian knew that it was a terrible excuse. However, he had no better options than this.
Jun Zishu’s current appearance was truly pitiful. She had fallen down a flight of stairs, so her head was currently wrapped in a thick layer of gauze, and her arms were covered in bruises. Her complexion also looked terrible because of the miscarriage.
When Qiu Ziqian saw this, he couldn’t help but take pity on Jun Zishu. However, when she thought about the root cause of this situation, he couldn’t help but harbor some resentment toward Jun Zishu.
Didn’t she realize that she was pregnant? What was she doing visiting his office all of a sudden? Moreover, she even insisted on taking the stairs instead of the elevator. Had Jun Zishu known about her body’s condition and taken the elevator instead, or better yet, not visited his company, none of this would’ve happened, and his child would have still been safe.
“There really isn’t anything going on between me and her, Honey. We didn’t do anything.”
Qiu Ziqian sounded relatively confident when he said these words. After all, it was a fact that nothing had yet to happen between him and Bai Yuwan.
“I have another thing to tell you, Honest, but you must promise not to feel too upset,” Qiu Ziqian said as he held Jun Zishu’s hand, only to have Jun Zishu shake away his hand immediately afterward.
The disgust on Jun Zishu’s face was obvious. When Qiu Ziqian touched her, the thought of resistance filled every corner of her mind. She had originally disliked others touching her already, and it was even more so for scumbags like Qiu Ziqian.
However, Qiu Ziqian did not get angry at having his hand shaken aside. He simply thought that Jun Zishu was still mad at him. So, he continued with what he set out to say and said, “Our child is gone…”
Shock, disbelief, despair, anguish, and sadness. These were all emotions Jian Qing had experienced in the original storyline.
After this point in the original storyline, Jian Qing had come to thoroughly hate Bai Yuwan. However, her hatred was only limited to Bai Yuwan. Faced with Qiu Ziqians’ coaxing and the period of vulnerability she experienced after losing her child, Jian Qing quickly forgave Qiu Ziqian and cried in his arms.
There was no way Jun Zishu would cry in the scumbag’s arms. Instead of mimicking Jian Qing’s reaction in the original storyline, Jun Zishu touched her belly with a trembling hand while wearing a stunned expression on her face.
“Don’t be too sad, Honey. We can always have another child in the future. The doctor says that there are no problems with your body and that you are still very healthy.”
The tears pooling in Jun Zishu’s eyes finally rolled down her cheeks as she clenched her fists tightly. However, as one of her hands was connected to an IV drip via a needle, her action of clenching her hands caused the back of her hand to bruise and swell up immediately.
When Qiu Ziqian saw his beautiful wife shedding tears with a faint look of despair, guilt overwhelmed his heart.
There was no question that Jian Qing possessed a beautiful outer shell. Even with gauze wrapped around her head and bruises decorating parts of her face, her beauty did not get overshadowed.
The way Jun Zishu silently shed tears only served to further amplify her gentle appearance and maximize the sympathy of others.
Jun Zishu recalled that Qiu Ziqian had felt a little annoyed when Jian Qing had wailed loudly in his arms in the original storyline. No matter how beautiful a person was, they’d look ugly if they cried and yelled without caring about their appearance.
The scumbag male lead’s heart was no longer on the original owner. The only reason he had even bothered to coax Jian Qing in the original storyline was because of their past relationship and the pity he felt for her miscarriage. Since the start of their relationship, Qiu Ziqian had only ever given Jian Qing three-tenths of his love. After the miscarriage incident, that proportion had further reduced to just one-tenth.
It was undeniable that Qiu Ziqian loved Bai Yuwan very, very much. He had chased after her and protected her since they were young. His desire for her was so great that even after he married another woman, he was willing to set aside his second wedding anniversary just because Bai Yuwan had returned.
However, from how Jun Zishu looked at things, she felt that Qiu Ziqian didn’t truly love Bai Yuwan all that much in reality. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have chosen to marry a different woman and instead chose to wait until Bai Yuwan returned.
Perhaps, in Qiu Ziqian’s mind, Bai Yuwan would never return or forgive him. After all, he had very nearly raped Bai Yuwan back then. Although he had stopped had the last moment, it still didn’t change the fact that he had tried to do so.
However, Jun Zishu didn’t care whether Qiu Ziqian loved Bai Yuwan. It was an inescapable fact that he was a scumbag through and through.
“Qingqing…”
Qiu Ziqian wanted to hug Jun Zishu and console her. However, Jun Zishu pushed him away before he could do so.
“Don’t touch me. Please leave.”
Jun Zishu’s complexion was pale, and her reddened eyes were filled with hatred.
“Qingqing, I…”
“I told you to get out!”
“What use is there in yelling at me? Is that child not mine as well? Do you think my heart doesn’t hurt over this situation?”
Qiu Ziqian glared at Jun Zishu, anger gradually growing within his heart.
“But you are the culprit who killed him!”
“How is it me? You were the one who wasn’t careful! Why couldn’t you pay more attention when you walked down the stairs?!”
“Who do you think caused me to behave like that?” Jun Zishu asked in a mocking tone. “It is all because my wonderful husband, the father of the child in my belly, decided to have a romp with another woman!”
“I already said it was a misunderstanding. The two of us were only messing around as friends. Why won’t you believe me? Have I wronged you in any way these past two years? I’ve given you the best of everything, yet even this isn’t enough to earn your trust?”
“Friends?” Jun Zishu laughed, seemingly hearing a very funny joke. “I don’t believe you’re not aware of your thoughts for her.”
“But that is already in the past. I have never even dated her before. Can you please stop being so unreasonable?”
However, what grinded a person’s gears the most was the inability to get something they wanted. Oftentimes, it was precisely because something was out of one’s reach that one would want to grasp it even more.
“I’m being unreasonable? Fine, then. I’ll go find a male friend to joke around with some other day. It won’t matter even if I sit on his lap and cuddle with him for a bit, right?”
Jun Zishu gazed into Qiu Ziqian’s eyes and watched as his expression gradually turned angry.

Having a scumbag personality wasn’t the worst thing a person could do. What was worse was having a scumbag personality and feeling righteous about it.
“You dare?”
“Why wouldn’t I dare? Isn’t it the same with you and that lady?”
“Stop making a fuss, okay, Qingqing? I know you are holding a grudge against me. I promise I’ll keep my distance from her, okay?”
Just when Jun Zishu was about to continue speaking, a knock suddenly came from the door.
