“Zhijun, there’s something 1 want to tell you, but you must promise not to tell anyone, including your aunt and all your relatives,” Shen Ning pleaded tearfully, her hands clasped in the car. “If you can’t promise, please leave now, and consider today as if you’ve seen nothing. Don’t involve yourself in my affairs anymore. I’ll be grateful to you.”

As she spoke, she suddenly leaned against the back of the car seat and burst into tears.

Li Zhijun felt at a loss. In his entire life, he had never been in a situation like this. He was torn between curiosity and uncertainty, unable to figure out how to respond.

However, the woman’s distressed expression made him more certain than ever that Shen Ning was facing difficulties.

A surge of chivalry rose within him.

“Ning, don’t worry. I will definitely keep your secret. If you’re facing any difficulties, just tell me, and I’ll do my best to help you,” he reassured her gently, patting her back.

He had always held affection for Shen Ning. He had even heard rumors that she had died after being abandoned by her cousin, which had deeply saddened him.

Although she was still alive, her current living conditions, as evidenced by this semi-old, remote apartment, were undoubtedly bleak.

“Then swear to the heavens,” Shen Ning said, wiping away her tears and pointing to the sky outside, her voice filled with doubt.

“I, Li Zhijun, swear to the heavens. If I break my promise and betray your trust, 1 shall be struck by heavenly retribution, and my soul will find no peace.”

Shen Ning watched him take the oath, finding his commitment fierce. Given the circumstances, she had no choice but to take this gamble and trust him.

In reality, even if she didn’t trust him, he had already discovered Keke’s secret, and there was no way to hide it any longer. Instead of waiting for him to reveal it, she decided to tell him herself, hoping to seek his assistance.

So, she briefly explained her situation to him.

“Oh my goodness, Shen Ning, you’re incredibly noble,” unexpectedly, Li Zhijun exclaimed, looking at Shen Ning in amazement. “So you’ve given birth to triplets for my cousin. He’s incredibly lucky. If it were me, I’d be overjoyed.”

“Hey, remember the oath you took,” Shen Ning nervously reminded him when she saw his exaggerated expression.

Li Zhijun chuckled and then became serious, showing even more admiration for Shen Ning.

“Shen Niece-in-law, you could have chosen to reveal the truth. Although my cousin may not love you, he definitely loves the children. He wouldn’t neglect Keke and Xiaoxiao.”

“No,” Shen Ning, with a pale face, shook her head vigorously. “If I could tell him, 1 would have done so long ago. I can’t let him know about the children. You should know, I have nothing in this life except Keke and Xiaoxiao. If your cousin finds out, he’ll definitely take my children away. He’s a devil. 1 can’t lose my children. And that wicked woman, Shen Mei, won’t spare my children either.”

As she spoke, Shen Ning began to cry in despair, holding her head.

“Oh dear, don’t cry. Don’t worry, 1 won’t say a word, and I’ll even help you,” Li Zhijun said hastily, feeling flustered when he saw a woman cry.

He couldn’t imagine how much suffering and injustice she had endured over the years. His conscience compelled him to lend her a hand.

“If you ever say anything, I’ll be on my deathbed, and you can take a knife and finish me off,” Li Zhijun solemnly swore to the heavens.

Shen Ning couldn’t help but smile at his words. “Fine, for now, you’re the only one who knows. If this leaks out, I’ll come looking for you.”

Shen Ning finally wiped away her tears..
