Later on, Han Siyu was diagnosed with mental health issues and was confined to a psychiatric hospital by the two families, effectively ensuring she would never leave. With both families involved, her life inside was bound to be far from pleasant.
Qin Ze and Han Ningyao’s engagement proceeded as planned, after all. The invitations had already been sent out, and many guests had arrived. Backing out at this point would have been disastrous for the reputations and credibility of both families.
Fortunately, none of the invited guests were foolish enough to cause trouble or provoke the Qin and Han families, sparing themselves unnecessary trouble. As a result, the engagement ceremony went off smoothly.
As for Han Siyu’s situation, while the Qin and Han families tried to suppress the matter, her outburst had been too public. Though no one dared to speak openly, rumors and gossip spread like wildfire in private. Naturally, Li Hui also heard about the incident.
Upon learning of Han Siyu’s actions, Li Hui fell silent for a moment, sighed, but said nothing more. From that point on—or rather, from the moment Li Hui left their shared rented apartment—he and Han Siyu had become strangers. Whatever she did, whatever happened to her, no longer concerned him.
Li Hui smiled at Lu Hanling, who was worried he might be heartbroken, effectively erasing Han Siyu from his life. He would move forward, start anew—Han Siyu was now a thing of the past.
As for Han Siyu? After Han Feng’s verification, it was confirmed that she was indeed his biological daughter. But that was as far as it went. Han Feng had no intention of acknowledging a mentally unstable woman as his daughter, and their paths would never cross again.
Just when Han Feng thought the matter was over, another woman came looking for him. This time, however, it wasn’t a young, beautiful girl but a mature, sensual middle-aged woman.
This was none other than He Wanqiong—the woman who had once had an affair with Han Feng, secretly given birth to Han Siyu behind his back, and initially passed the child off as her ex-husband’s. When the truth came out, she was swiftly divorced and cast out by her former spouse.
Despite the passage of time, He Wanqiong retained the allure and grace of a mature woman. Yet, she still clung to the naive fantasy that Han Feng had truly loved her and would leave his wife for her.
Indeed, Han Siyu’s birth had been the result of He Wanqiong’s careful scheming.
Back then, He Wanqiong had fallen head over heels for Han Feng at first sight and went to great lengths to engineer their encounters, eventually succeeding in seducing him. But Han Feng had only wanted a fling, while He Wanqiong took it seriously. Even knowing he was married, she didn’t care—she convinced herself his marriage was loveless, just like hers.
When Han Feng insisted they couldn’t have a child, He Wanqiong concocted excuses for him, telling herself it was because his wife was domineering and unreasonable, forcing him to stay in a loveless marriage. In her mind, Han Feng was protecting her by not letting her bear his child.
No matter what Han Feng did, He Wanqiong found ways to justify it. No matter how flimsy the excuses, she deluded herself into believing them. The rose-tinted glasses of a woman in love—or rather, in self-deception—were thick indeed.
He Wanqiong’s own unhappy marriage led her to assume Han Feng’s was equally miserable. In her eyes, if someone as outstanding, beautiful, gentle, and capable as her could suffer in marriage, how could any other woman be happy?
But the truth was, He Wanqiong’s marriage wasn’t as bad as she imagined.
Her ex-husband, also surnamed Han, had been introduced through a matchmaker. Her parents, realizing their daughter’s growing detachment from reality—obsessed with fantasies of marrying a wealthy, handsome man and living a life of luxury—had hoped marriage would ground her.
He Wanqiong, however, refused to work, spending her parents’ hard-earned money on expensive cosmetics and skincare to maintain her glamorous appearance, all in pursuit of a rich husband who would shower her with wealth.
Her parents, knowing full well their daughter’s unrealistic expectations, eventually arranged her marriage to a decent, hardworking man—Han, a small-business owner. Though not as wealthy as Han Feng, he was comfortably well-off.
Initially, Han doted on his beautiful wife. But when he realized her extravagant spending and love for frivolous displays, he grew displeased. Raised to value frugality, he cut off her access to funds, limiting her to a fixed monthly allowance.
For He Wanqiong, this was unbearable. Though the allowance was generous, her lavish tastes left her perpetually unsatisfied. When she protested, Han warned her: “If you keep this up, I won’t hesitate to divorce you.”
The threat silenced her. She knew without him, she’d return to a life of hardship.
Over time, He Wanqiong grew increasingly disdainful of her husband. His ordinary looks and limited wealth no longer satisfied her. When she met Han Feng, she was instantly smitten—his handsome appearance, wealth, and sophistication were everything she desired.
Their affair began, and Han Feng’s generosity only deepened her obsession. Even knowing he was married, she refused to let go, weaving elaborate justifications for his actions.
She even fantasized about Han Feng leaving his wife for her. In her mind, she was the superior choice—beautiful, captivating, while his wife was just a neglected, aging woman.
But when Han Feng tried to end things, panic set in. Faced with losing her wealthy lover, He Wanqiong began plotting her next move.
