She had never told him. When Wen Fenglin had revealed the fact to him, he had been stunned speechless. Chi Xian had a child? A child through surrogacy?
At the mention of this, Zhen Xianlang broke into laughter. He said, "To think that back then, we were together morning and night, and she never gave any hint of it. Shows you what a lacking husband I was."
When Yu Lili heard that and observed the evident guilt in his eyes, she lowered her head.
To be honest, Zhen Xianlang wasn't exactly to blame either. It was common knowledge that Xian'er was of very ill health. No one would have expected this tender and delicate lady to hire a surrogate for her child.
Furthermore, in those days, the technology for surrogacy wasn't as advanced as it currently was. She'd probably approached the whole process with nothing more than a heart full of hope.
The more Yu Lili thought about it, the more her heart began to ache.
