t to hear anyone making noise, which made him feel irritated."Need I point out your mistakes to these two juniors in front of you"As soon as the menacing threat came out of Fei Wu's mouth, Du Caiyi's...Chapter Name: 156
Jiang Cheng frowned, reaching up to rub his forehead, and looked at Lin Meng with a helpless expression.
“Mengmeng, you are only 16 years old, too young to be foolish. This child, you can't raise him well. You have no education and no money, how can you raise a child! The cost of raising a child now is so high. From the moment he is born, he starts spending a lot of money - formula milk, diapers, medicine, almost every day's expenses are over a hundred yuan. Can you afford it! And children need to go to school, kindergarten, primary school, middle school, university, all of this is basically made with money. Where will you get the money from! Now even ordinary working-class couples find it difficult to raise one child, and you, alone, how can you afford it! Can you bear to let that child live a miserable life with you, unable to enjoy a carefree childhood, unable to receive a better education Just following you through hardships until he grows up, facing the dilemma of low education and having to sell his labor and do hard work for others! Can you endure this!”
Lin Meng shook her head, her lips pressed together even tighter, revealing a hint of fragile paleness.
Jiang Chengfeng said harshly, continuing, "Let's just say you told Rong Ling about this. Would he acknowledge the child Would he raise it His family is so prominent, what if your child ends up becoming something unexpected in the future Most importantly, do you still want to be with Rong Ling without a name or status Would he even want you Can you handle being a second wife in such a wealthy family Don't tell me you're that kind of person, Lin Meng!"
Lin Meng shook her head vigorously. She didn't want to be a mistress!
Jiang Cheng said, "Also, Rong Ling said he wouldn't want you if you didn't want him. Once he doesn't want you, your life won't be secure. What will you and the child do!"
Lin Meng shook her head, speechless.
Jiang Cheng gave him another blow. "The most important thing is, if you can't marry Rong Ling, your child will be an illegitimate child. Are you willing to let your child bear such a name for life, pointed at and gossiped about!"
Lin Meng shivered, her hands trembling slightly.
Jiang Chengfeng saw this and narrowed his eyes, suppressing the heartache, sighed softly, and said in a low voice, "Mengmeng, I have handled many cases like yours before. Young girls who get pregnant for all sorts of reasons. Some stubbornly give birth to the child, but ultimately either abandon them or the child lives a hard life and has psychological problems when they grow up. So, believe me, getting rid of the child is the best choice! You're still young, the child isn't formed yet, if it's gone, you can have another one later. When you are capable, give birth to a child in a healthy and superior environment, that would be truly good for both you and the child. Giving birth now is not the right time. It will only bring hardship to both you and the child! You yourself have been through this, you probably have some experience. Mengmeng, actually, I think you already have the answer in your heart, don't you"
Lin Meng bit her lip, her slightly drooping eyelids concealing a tear that had just rolled down.
She reached out and uncontrollably touched her belly, which was still unseeable to her. Her heart ached with pain!
She actually knew that not having children was the best choice. If she had children, they would probably only suffer with her. But -- she couldn't bear it, she really couldn't bear it...
There's a child growing inside her, connected to her by blood. It lies there in her womb now, such a wondrous thing. And in seven or eight months, there will be a chubby little baby, grinning with its gummy smile, and she thinks about it and feels a sweetness in her heart, so much that she can't bear to… she just can't bear to...
"Mengmeng, we don't have much time. Let's set it for next Wednesday. I'm free that day and can accompany you to the hospital!" Jiang Chengfeng stated decisively. This actually meant pushing Mengmeng towards getting rid of the child!
In Jiang Cheng's eyes, this child shouldn't be born! It's not that he wouldn't help, because he certainly couldn't bear to see Lin Meng suffer. If she really gave birth to the child, he would definitely take care of her. But the prerequisite is that this child can't be Rong Ling's!
Rong Ling, such a dangerous person! The Rong family, those unwritten rules, as long as they are children of the Rong family, they are all qualified to compete for the position of the next head of the family. He couldn't be sure what kind of personality this child would have if he was born and grew up. All he knew was that if this child was born, Lin Meng would inevitably still be entangled with Rong Ling, and with a child involved, the relationship would become very complicated, and it would be difficult to break off even if they wanted to. This is not what he wants to see!
He wanted this girl, and he had every intention of marrying her. Now, because of his brother's death, he couldn't pursue her so easily, couldn't bring her home to stir up their parents. But he had time to wait, and the confidence to wait, until she grew up, until those wounds slowly scabbed over, he would make her his.
So, the child can't have it!
"I... need to think!" Lin Meng lowered her head.
Jiang Cheng sighed as he rode the wind. "Then think it over well. Stay inside these next two days, don't go out anywhere. I'll come back next Wednesday. If anything happens, just give me a call, okay!"
He can't keep coming and going here so frequently, entangled with her, because he has his own concerns and difficulties. Her past, Jiang Po Lang's death, these are all difficult!
Lin Meng nodded.
Then, it was once again that unsolvable contemplation.
As time ticked by, day after day, Lin Meng felt restless. Maybe she should give Rong Ling a call and hear his thoughts. The child... he deserved to know about this child too. He... also had the right to know. He... perhaps would... make good arrangements!
> That's right!
Lin Meng was almost ecstatic. Rong Ling was so intelligent, he must have thought of more things than she had, perhaps he could come up with a very good arrangement to solve her predicament!
She stood up and rushed toward the door, but when she got to the phone, she hesitated. Her hand reached out but stopped halfway, her heart pounding in her chest, a mixture of excitement and fear.
What if...what if the result is very bad, what should she do!
She pulled her hand back, widening her eyes in fear, and stared at the phone. Her steps followed close behind, taking two steps back. Then she stood there, as if challenging the phone, staring intently at it!
It had been a long time, so long that her eyes began to ache, so long that her legs started to feel sore. Her stomach seemed to be bothering her too. She immediately placed her hand on her stomach, relaxed her body, and slowly sat down on the sofa. Then, she took deep breaths in and out until the discomfort in her stomach subsided.
She raised her eyes and looked at the machine again, a resolute glint flashing in her eyes!
Just—listen to what he means!
She was daydreaming, but it was all in vain!
Her fingertips trembled, and she finally dialed the number. That number was deeply etched into her bone marrow, something that could never be erased. ( ..tw nice novels) He had also said that the number would not change easily and only a select few knew it!
Sure enough, the phone went through, but there was silence on the other end. Probably checking her identity!
She swallowed nervously, licking her lips. Her mouth suddenly felt dry, as if she couldn't speak.
"Hey!" she finally blurted out, her voice trembling with a hint of panicked urgency.
That side finally grunted, coldly and flatly, as if emanating from its nose a hint of disdain.
Her heart ached slightly, she suppressed the uncomfortable feeling, licked her lips, and continued in an unsteady voice: "I... I... I..."
I uttered my name three times, the words reaching my lips but fear held me back from speaking. There was a feeling that once they left my mouth, everything would be over.
He stayed silent this time, not even giving her the sound of a breath. He just waited for her to finish what she had to say.
Her nose felt sore, hurt by his cold emotions. She had told herself not to care, but perhaps pregnant women are more sensitive and emotional. Ever since she became pregnant, she had been especially prone to sadness and... particularly easily fixated on him.
I miss him!
I can't stop thinking about him!
Oh, he's so cold!
She sniffed, forcefully pressing down the sourness in her heart. Gritting her teeth, she thought to herself that she shouldn't drag it out any longer, lest she felt pathetic. So, she took a deep breath, calmed herself, and bravely said to him.
"I'm pregnant!"
As soon as he finished speaking, my heart leaped into my throat. My breath caught in my chest, and I listened intently to every word he said on the other end of the line, afraid to miss a single sound!
There, silence reigned for a long time, so profound that even the sound of breathing was absent. This filled her with fear, for such stillness seemed to herald the calm before the storm!
"Hey!" She blurted out, unable to contain herself. "You...are you even listening!"
Trembling with fear and anxiety, my heart was racing. I felt like I was hanging in the air!
"Hmm." Finally there was some movement over there, but it was still just a grunt.
She was both flustered and anxious, unable to decipher his intentions. What did he plan to do At least he could say something! Nervously, she started biting her fingernails again, her lips pale from the strain of clenching them tightly.
It seemed like a century had passed in silence before he finally spoke, asking, "How long!" His voice, transmitted over the phone line, sounded strangely hoarse.
Her heart, it was still hanging, tightly grasped.
"Two months." She thought for a moment, then hurriedly added, "Almost 10 weeks!"
There, silence fell again, but this time he spoke quickly, his voice laced with a chilling coldness.
No matter who the child belongs to, get rid of him!
Lin Meng's mind went blank in an instant.
Her hand trembled, and the receiver slipped from her grasp, falling to the floor with a thud against the sofa. She stared at the phone as if some monstrous creature were lurking at the other end of the line! Her breathing grew rapid, each inhale seeming to contain a wellspring of suppressed fury.
No matter who the child belongs to, get rid of him!
This is his reply!
This is his reply!
The child belongs to whomever!
Who's the child!
Isn't that his ! How could he say such a thing! How could he say such a thing!
Tears of anguish streamed down her face! She grabbed the phone, her breath coming in ragged gasps as she growled into it, "The child is yours!"
The roar was laced with grief, unable to conceal the past!
She felt insulted!
That man was too much, too much!
On the other end of the phone, the familiar voice was still cold, mechanically repeating icy words.
"No matter whose child it is, abort it!"
She bit her lip, drawing blood, the tears welling up and spreading across it, turning the blood into a crimson bloom.
“The child was conceived in the bar, under the moonlit steps. That night, it belonged to you. You don't have the right to humiliate me!” she cried out, her voice trembling and breaking with sobs.
The man on the phone, damn cold.
"Just say that, take him out! I will not admit to this child!"
He was too cold and resolute, making Lin Meng angry. Anger surged through her, making her want to bite him, to smash the phone in her hand. Just when her anger reached its peak, a sudden thought flashed through her mind, chilling her to the bone.
“That day…” Her hand trembled like she was sick. “That night, it was… wasn’t it you”
He was silent.
This made her even more uneasy, and she roared in anger.
"Say, wasn't it you that night Wasn't it you Come on, speak up! Tell me!"
She was as furious as a lion, and as wild as one!
He "click" hung up the phone, doused her with a bucket of cold water, from head to toe, so cold that she started shivering.
She helplessly put down the phone, sat there blankly for a while, then covered her face and burst into tears.
That night, she was out of it and only felt as if she had seen Rong Ling. So, she blindly assumed that the man who was entangled with her was Rong Ling. However, she completely ignored the possibility that it might be someone else. Or perhaps she was too drunk, mistaking someone else for him!
That was the only time, the child had it that night.
He ordered her to abort the child so coldly, and so decisively said he wouldn't acknowledge the child, didn't he Because this child wasn't his at all! After all, he wasn't even with her that night!
This idea nearly drove her crazy!
She shrank back in terror, and suddenly felt a chill in her stomach!
If he truly isn't the father, then he...he isn't his...he isn't his...
She trembled, tears flowing down her face like a river. If it weren't for his child, what would she do!
There was a thrill of excitement in his heart, and he had an inexplicable expectation for this child. It was simply because he had identified him as his own!
"Yes, the child wouldn't be his!"
What should she do
What to do!
This wasn't her decision at all. The next morning around 9 o'clock, a group of people knocked on Jiang Xiaoxiao's door. The maid opened the door with caution.
"Who are you looking for!"
"Find Lin Meng!" The leading man wore a hint of a smile. His clean appearance and sharp, mature aura made him look like a very capable person!
The nanny instinctively felt a bit of apprehension and called Lin Meng out.
Lin Meng recognized this person, Rong Ling's secretary—Xiaoduan, back when they were in Hope New Village!
"Let me come, Rong!"
Little smile!
Ke Lin's face turned pale.
An anti-theft door is not about whether it can be opened or not, but even if it's not opened, the people Xia Duan brings have the complete ability to open it themselves.
"He... what did he make you do!" Her voice was hoarse from crying, her eyes still swollen. She had cried herself to sleep last night!
Xiao Duan entered the door and politely replied, "General Rong instructed me to take you to the hospital. This was what he said last night!"
By now, it's self-evident. The Rongling faction sent people to forcefully take Lin Meng to the hospital for an abortion!
Lin Meng's body swayed, she was dazed and dragged along by two people. They got in a car and headed to the hospital! The final destination, as expected, was the operating room.
"Just lie down!" The doctor, in surgical scrubs and a mask, issued a bland command, gesturing with his hand towards the operating table. Technically, having the baby terminated after two months was just a matter of taking some pills, but the patient insisted on a safe and secure procedure, so here they were, on the operating table!
Lin Meng stared at the wide and narrow operating table, like a coffin board. Her mind went blank for a moment.
All her past convictions were shattered by the child's unprovoked speculation. How could she possibly take care of a stranger's child! Where would she find the courage to resist all the hardships and raise him well
"Destroy it Just erase this child from existence, make all the past vanish into thin air!"
She didn't know… didn't know…
Being pushed by the nurse, I was helplessly wheeled onto the operating table. The doctor there had already instructed them to prepare the anesthesia.
The operating table was so cold, as soon as she lay down, goosebumps popped up all over her body and her legs started to tremble. She could hear the sounds of movement around her, nurses preparing things, and the occasional conversations between nurses and doctors. They sounded close but also distant!
A pair of hands suddenly reached out and touched her leg!
"Take off your pants!" The cold command came from a doctor wearing a mask!
Lin Meng's hands began to tremble, struggling to pull up her pants.
Don't have children, really don't have children!
Once you take off these pants, there's no turning back, the child will be gone!
For two months, it lay silently in her belly, quietly merging with her. Then, if the child were to be gone, she would be hers again, alone!
Tears streamed down her face.
"Didn't you think this through!" The doctor's cold voice suddenly softened. As she pulled her mask down, Lin Meng realized that she recognized this person—it was the female doctor who had determined her pregnancy that day!
"Haven't you thought it through!" the female doctor asked again, her eyes filled with a kind of peace and compassion that couldn't be described in words. "This is also a life, don't casually and whimsically belittle any life! Girl, I ask you once more, this child, are you keeping it or not"
Shouldn't we value every life
Lin Meng blinked, her hot tears welling up and streaming down her face.
This child isn't Rong Ling's, is she! It's not his! What should she do now!
Time slipped away in silence and tears, the female doctor finally letting out a sigh before putting her mask back on and coldly stating: "Then let's get started!"
She ordered the nurse standing beside her to take Lin Meng's pants off!
The female nurse's hand just touched Lin Meng's pants when Lin Meng suddenly reached out and pulled the nurse's hand away! She staggered down from the operating table and knelt before the female doctor, grabbing at her pant leg and pleading in a choked voice.
"I want this child, please don't have an abortion, I beg you, help me, help me... I want this child... but he doesn't... he wants me to abort the baby... I don't want to... I want it... I want a child... I want this child..."
Her whole life was filled with little joy, and she spent almost all of it alone. She sought familial love but found none; romantic love was nothing more than a distant dream!
This child, who stayed in her belly, was fate, a comfort given to her by heaven, a companion for her lonely life. From now on, no matter how miserable she might be, there would be this child to accompany her. For the rest of her life, with this child, she would never be alone. Finally, there would be someone to always stay with her, to be with her!
Finally, there was someone like this, why did she have to push him away!
If she were left behind, she would suffer greatly, but even if she suffered, she would never make the child suffer. She would definitely ensure that the child was well taken care of!
Does it matter whether Rongling wants her or the child What does it have to do with him! Their relationship was never meant to be in the first place! Why should she abort the baby just because of him!
Who's the child's father, does it even matter! All she wants is someone to be with her! And that person, is her child, the one connected to her by blood, the one who will never abandon her!
"I want this child... I need it... please help me... please help me... beg you... beg you..."
Seeing this girl crying like she was heartbroken, the female doctor felt moved. Recalling those men in black standing outside the operating room door, she had a hunch about what happened. Perhaps the child's father was someone powerful and influential, which is why he forced the woman to have an abortion!
"Come up here! The ground is a little cold, it's not good for the child!"
The female doctor reached out and pulled Lin Meng up from the ground.
"You can tell me about your current situation, and I'll be happy to help!"
Lin Meng wiped her face in embarrassment, "Hmm" she responded.
Last, disguised as if she had just gone through a miscarriage, Lin Meng was pushed out of the operating room. Several men in black followed closely behind and entered the rest room. After that, the anti-inflammatory solution was hung up. Of course, although it was labeled as an anti-inflammatory drug, the contents of the bottle had already been replaced with glucose to replenish her body's nutrition!
"Go away, I don't want to see you!"
Lin Meng glanced at Xiao Duan and the others indifferently. Xiao Duan felt a little embarrassed and said in a low voice, "Wait until we finish this bottle, and I'll send you back!"
Lin Meng narrowed her eyes and ignored these people.
Xiao Duan went out for a bit, he's probably calling his boss Rong Ling to report the results!
After about an hour, the IV drip finished. Lin Meng got out of bed. Xiao Duan wanted to help her up, but Lin Meng pushed him away and glared at him fiercely. Xiao Duan quickly changed his approach, telling his men to just stand on either side of Lin Meng and not let anyone touch her.
Stepping out of the hospital, the afternoon sun shone brightly, slanted in, bringing a vast expanse of warmth and dispelling much of the chill. Lin Meng squinted her eyes, silently sighing in her heart. But -- there was still a warmth in her chest, this child, she had saved him after all.
From now on, both blessings and misfortunes will be shared with this child!
Lowering her head, she fought the urge to touch her stomach. Her lips twitched slightly, a hint of satisfaction playing on them. After pacing the operating table once, it truly dawned on her how much she cherished this child who had suddenly entered her life!
Suddenly, a heavy shadow fell upon her!
She frowned and looked up, against the light, she saw that breathtakingly handsome face. Her heart skipped a beat, her face paled instantly!
He, why is he here!
She instinctively took a few steps back, defensive, staring him down with hostility!
Róng frowned, scanning her from head to toe before taking a large step closer!
She still backed away, afraid of his approach, afraid of his sudden arrival. But her legs weren't long enough to outrun him, and he finally reached her face. With a large hand outstretched, he scooped her up in his arms amidst her gasp. He turned around, took a few steps, and got into the car that started following his movements.
"Let me go!" she hissed. "Put me down, I can walk myself!"
He held her tight, bowing his head to kiss her cheek, which was slightly cold.
"Be good, don't move!" she was softly coaxed. But this inexplicable tenderness was too much for her to bear!
"Let me go, I have nothing to do with you!"
She pushed him with her hand, her eyes turning red in an instant!
He held her in his arms, of course he couldn't let go.
"Don't be willful!" he hissed softly, "Just now you gave birth, just be a little obedient!"
As soon as she heard this, tears welled up in her eyes and streamed down her face!
It turns out, he wasn't here to cause her trouble. It turns out, he didn't discover anything. It turns out, he was just here to show a little bit of human kindness!
"Let me go, I'm fine, not that weak!" she pleaded, tears streaming down her face. She didn't want any further connection with him!
He didn't speak, only held her tighter. His big hand moved along her waist and towards her stomach! She was so startled that all her muscles tensed up, she couldn't move at all, afraid he would notice something, and then with one slap, he'd erase the child from existence.
And he, only gently stroked her small belly, then his large palm stayed there, motionless!
"Does it hurt!" he asked in a hoarse voice, with a hint of barely perceptible loss.
She was crying and could only shake her head.
He let out a long sigh, his eyes dimming slightly. He rested his chin on her shoulder and fell silent.
The car drove toward an unknown destination. Lin Meng imagined that Rong Ling probably hadn't noticed anything, so she couldn't stay by his side anymore. She had to leave, and the farther away from him, the better. Otherwise, if he found out about the child, he might send people to force her to have an abortion. And if that happened again, she absolutely wouldn't be lucky enough to escape!
“Take me back!” she reached out, grabbing his arm, her slender fingers digging deep into the fabric of his suit jacket. He looked at her, squinting, pulling her body close, tilting slightly so that she nestled into his embrace, while he extended one hand, holding her like a child, circling her, trapping her.
“I've already had someone take care of your passport. In a few days, when you're feeling a little better, I'll send you abroad. I've already talked to Third Uncle, he won't harm your family. But you have to be obedient overseas, don't run around. Little sweetheart, from now on, you can't go anywhere else, you can only stay by my side.”
"No---"
He suddenly reached out and blocked her lips.
“You can’t say no!” he whispered, taking a delicate bite on her small ear. “This is an order, you have only to obey. Be good, you are mine, always will be. From now on, you're stuck with me! Even if you don't want to, you have to follow.”
In exchange for giving up her child and living an anonymous life by his side, Rong Ling secured permission from Rong Sanbo. This was Rong Ling's final concession, a last chance for herself and Lin Meng.
He couldn't bear to watch her drift away like a ghost, nor could he truly ignore her. As night fell on the steps and enveloped her, he had to admit that his body still craved her, that his heart still yearned for her. Even though she repeatedly angered him, testing the limits of his patience time and again, he was powerless to let go of her!
Children are an opportunity!
He went to talk to Rong Sanbo, saying that Lin Meng was pregnant with his child, and that he had her get an abortion. He was only making a show to the elder, proving that she wouldn't be a threat and could only be a woman living by his side. He sent her abroad, away from the turmoil within the country, and it also severed ties with the chaos she herself created!
He was implying to the elder that he didn't really care about this woman, so he readily let her abort the child. At the same time, he was also hinting to the elder that he wouldn't be controlled by the woman, and he always knew his limits in doing things, but he wouldn't let things go too far!
He's still supporting her, only because she had it tough! Forcing her to have an abortion, he needs to make amends! So, he sent her abroad, providing for her with ease and comfort! Such reasoning is reasonable and logical, San Bo shouldn't nitpick!
Thus, he once again drew her into his embrace! This time, her presence also became reasonable! No one could stop it!
She shook her head in his arms, violently shaking her head, her lips pressed against his, brokenly mumbling "no", all of her expressions were a "disagreement". He didn't take it to heart!
She just gave birth and is feeling down, even resentful towards him. This is perfectly normal. He firmly believes things will get better in a few days!
Back at the Jade Pavilion Hotel, he gently laid her on the bed in their presidential suite. A special kitchen had prepared a nourishing soup which was immediately served. He took the bowl and brought it to her.
"Drink this, it's good for your blood!"
She widened her eyes and shook her head in fear! Her small hands were clenched at her sides, and she struggled to control herself, not reaching out to take the bowl of soup that was offered.
She was afraid there was something in the soup that would be harmful to pregnant women, afraid it would hurt her child!
And this man is too shrewd, did he find out she didn't have an abortion, did he plan to quietly give her a medication abortion!
At this moment, she was on high alert, every muscle tensed. The atmosphere crackled with tension, as if the slightest sound would set off an alarm!
Rong Ling saw her like this, his eyes flickered, his brows furrowed slightly, and he asked in a low voice, "Why don't you drink!"
"I don't want to drink!" She refused, turning her head away and pulling the blanket over herself. She lay down and covered herself completely from head to toe, as if that would shield her from his gaze!
Rong Ling raised an eyebrow, looking at the bundle wrapped in the blanket. His eyes flickered again.
"This is good for your body!"
"No!" she growled, pressing her lips together, her eyes wide and glaring from under the covers. "I'm going to sleep. Leave me alone!"
He reached out to grab her quilt. She hurriedly pulled it with her small hands, desperately holding onto it so he wouldn't take it away. However, he was much stronger than her, and she couldn't fight him. After a few struggles, in the end, he ripped the quilt away from her. He almost dragged her off the bed along with the quilt.
A strange sensation suddenly surged through her stomach, causing her to jolt and drop the blanket she was clutching. Reflexively, she reached out and covered her abdomen, her face paling slightly in fear!
Upon seeing this, Rong Ling's sharp sword eyebrows twitched fiercely!
"What's wrong!"
He sat down abruptly, pulling her into his arms. His large hand immediately followed, landing on her belly.
She only then realized she had overdone it. The instinctive movement of covering her stomach was practically "covering up the tracks"! Would he suspect anything Would he see through it
Her body tensed!
In her arms, he was stiff, as if someone had hit his acupuncture point!
His thin lips slowly pursed together, gradually becoming a line. His large palm rested on her stomach, gently stroking it back and forth several times, cautiously as if feeling something!
She was panicked and her mind went blank at that moment. She acted instinctively, reaching out with a sudden movement and grabbing his arm, pulling him outwards.
"No---"
She whimpered, tears welling up in her eyes pitifully.
He glanced at her, his deep eyes holding a hint of inquiry as they fixated on her delicate face. His big hand remained firmly on her stomach, as if trying to see through her and expose everything she was desperately trying to conceal!
She was flustered and didn't know what to do. She burst into tears out of fright. Her tears, transparent as they were, were about to soak her whole little face.
He narrowed his eyes and opened his mouth.
"Ouch!"
She acted as if she had grasped a lifeline, eagerly following his lead and nodding frantically. Her heart was filled with relief and gratitude!
"Ugh, it hurts... so much..."
He stared at her enigmatically, making her feel flustered and uneasy. She then helplessly averted her eyes from his gaze!
"Drink up the soup!"
He opened his mouth, gently pulling her closer, letting her lean against the headboard, and then pulled the blanket over her.
"Drink it, and your stomach won't hurt anymore. This soup is especially made to nourish the body!"
She was afraid that if she didn't drink the soup, he would have another trick up his sleeve. She had no choice but to grit her teeth and choke out, "What kind of soup is it! What's in it"
His lips, following closely, twitched. A fierce edge at the corner of his mouth flashed and disappeared!
He picked up the soup bowl, swirling it gently as if checking for something within. As the broth rippled, his eyes seemed to flicker with each wave.
Abruptly, he raised the bowl of soup to his lips, tapped it lightly, and then said, "Forget it, let's not drink this. The soup has gone cold. I'll have the kitchen make you a fresh bowl!"
She took a surreptitious breath.
While he remained composed, taking in her every expression silently!
He walked away with his bowl, and her heart jumped again. Who knows what would be in the next bowl of soup! Thinking about it, she started to get goosebumps again!
"Rong Ling!"
She suddenly cried out. He stopped, turned his body slightly, pursed his lips, and looked down at him with a gaze that was deep and profound, like an ancient well.
Her scalp went numb, but she still called out. "Mushroom beef and carrot soup, I want that one, nothing else, don't let them put anything else in it!"
She won't drink unless it's something else!
After finishing, she feigned calmness and lay down, pulling the blanket over herself. In reality, her hands were trembling slightly.
But, luckily, she heard him say a "good" word!
As she listened to his footsteps fading away, she finally relaxed her body and let out a deep breath. Reaching out, she touched her stomach, her heart clenching again. She knew this wouldn't last forever; that man was terrifyingly shrewd. The longer she stayed by his side, the easier it would be for her to get discovered. Remembering the vitamin B12 in her pocket, the doctor had said it might help suppress the nausea. After a quick glance around to make sure no one was watching, she quickly pulled out the small bottle from her pocket and swallowed two pills as fast as she could.
Well, she still had to figure out how to leave him!
He said he wanted to take her abroad, and her passport was in the process of being handled, so going abroad was just a matter of days. No, she couldn't go with him. But this man's attitude was already very firm, and he made it clear that whether she agreed or disagreed, she had to leave with him!
She regretted it, cursing herself for being such an idiot! She shouldn't have called him. She shouldn't have thought he had the right to know about the baby. She shouldn't have been so blinded by wishful thinking that she thought he would give her a better idea!
Now, it's over. She's just digging her own grave!
