WBSGVS Chapter 179 V1

The situation was turning out very different from what they had planned.

That afternoon, Xu Yin was already in a low emotional state because of Shen Yanjun’s attitude. When she then heard this devastating news, her stomach started to ache again.

Because she’d had stomach pain so many times before, Shen’s mother wasn’t immediately alarmed. She came over slowly, only to realize this time something was seriously wrong.

By the time they rushed her to the hospital and the doctor checked her out, they were told she was showing signs of a possible miscarriage and needed to remain emotionally stable. Shen’s mother frowned and said coldly, “What is wrong with you? We’re treating you well in the Shen family, preparing the wedding and everything, and you’re still unhappy?”

“I’ve never seen anyone act this spoiled!”

Xu Yin’s face was pale. She forced a weak smile, unable to argue back.

She was under enormous emotional stress, but she couldn’t say anything—because everything she had now had been stolen.

When Shen Yanjun rushed over in a panic, concern written all over his face, Xu Yin felt even more regret.

Why had she insisted on throwing that truth out there, just to prove a point? If she’d just waited a little longer, Huo Qingli would’ve found out on her own what kind of man she was marrying.

But those comments full of congratulations had been too much to bear. She’d lost her temper the moment Shen Yanjun’s attitude hit a nerve.

Now look where it got her.

Huo Qingli had gone on the show just to save face. If things unfolded like the original plot she remembered, and the hospital incident from back then was accidentally brought up—and if Shen Yanjun found out…

The original plot was just text, but now, seeing it unfold in real life, Xu Yin could feel the difference. She knew how special Huo Qingli was to Shen Yanjun. If he ever learned the truth, just imagining it sent chills down her spine.

This child was her last lifeline—she had no right to treat it carelessly just because she got emotional.

“Does your stomach still hurt?”

The man in front of her asked gently.

Xu Yin smiled and shook her head. “It’s much better. The moment you showed up, it was like the baby could feel it—the pain went away.”

Shen’s mother curled her lip in disdain, clearly disgusted.

Of course, this low-class woman would pull something like this to get a man’s attention. Still, Xu Yin’s complexion did look better than before, and for the sake of her future grandchild, Shen’s mother didn’t say more. She clicked her heels and walked out.

With her son and a housekeeper in the room, there was no need for her to stay and be annoyed.

Shen Yanjun hadn’t noticed his mother’s displeasure. Looking at Xu Yin, his heart softened. No matter what had changed, she had once been the light in his youth—the girl he’d dreamed of when he was young. And now she was carrying his child.

He sighed quietly, feeling hollow inside, but still reached out to gently touch her belly. “This is my fault. I’ve been too busy lately and neglected you. I’ll take some time off for the next couple of days and stay with you.”

Ever since his plan against the Chi family failed, which only led to them teaming up with the Huo family, even his father had been dissatisfied with him. To prove himself, he took on a ton of work—partly out of pride, partly to escape. He started working later and later, with overtime every weekend becoming the norm.

In the process, he’d completely overlooked Xu Yin.

And ever since realizing that the person he loved wasn’t Xu Yin, he’d found it difficult to even think about her unless he forced himself. Unfortunately, the person he truly loved had already slipped away.

He thought maybe, once the weekend came and he saw Huo Qingli with Chi Yue, he’d finally give up—and then he’d settle down with Xu Yin and look forward to raising their child together.

Xu Yin’s heart warmed, and she leaned on him with a sweet smile. “Okay.”

And just like he promised, Shen Yanjun kept his word. On the first day, because he had to handle some work handovers, he brought Xu Yin with him to the office. Of course, a gossip account snapped photos right away and posted them online with the headline: [Shen Yanjun Spoils His Wife!]

It immediately shot up the trending list. Young girls swooned, while many others rolled their eyes in scorn.

On the second and third days, he was photographed taking Xu Yin out to have fun again and again.

The “true love” narrative was gaining traction—until a new headline demolished it:
[Huo Qingli Revealed as the Screenwriter of Destiny Files!!!]

Trying to capitalize on the buzz from Huo Qingli’s wedding, the show Destiny Files aired its episodes that day. Although it was a low-budget production with no big-name stars, it had a solid script, good pacing, and fresh new actors who delivered convincing performances. Thanks to early promotion, the show racked up over a hundred million views by the next day.

Even though viewers were loving it, the buzz remained modest—until the eighth episode dropped.

That episode wrapped up the first case and launched the second, and suddenly everyone realized: The killer had already slipped up in the very first episode! No one had noticed before.

Fans started dissecting the clues and details. Someone even posted an analysis chart online, and it became clear: not a single frame had been wasted. Every scene was tight, clean, and meaningful.

Unfortunately, aside from the female lead, most of the cast were unknowns, with small fan bases. So organic fans took matters into their own hands, creating short clips and recommendation posts on Weibo and Bilibili, which successfully pushed the show onto the trending page.

Once it was trending, more people watched it, and with more eyes came sharper observations.

That’s when people discovered something else: the top name listed under “screenwriter” was none other than Huo Qingli.

The internet exploded.

Wait, Huo Qingli? No way!

But then the production team released blurred behind-the-scenes photos of Huo Qingli working on the script with the other writers. Netizens couldn’t deny it anymore: the smart, no-nonsense, fierce, and badass female lead… was also the show’s head writer!

At the same time, the trending search about Shen Yanjun and Xu Yin on another date resurfaced. Shen Corp had been enjoying the image of a loving couple at its helm, and they’d even paid to promote the post.

Now, both members of a former couple were trending—one for being a devoted husband, the other for crushing it in her career. The contrast was stark, and netizens couldn’t help but mock it relentlessly.
