Sheng Yize sighed and gave a succinct explanation, which made An Yibei frown as well .
“Is abortion the only option?”
“Not necessarily, but it’s the safest option for her…”
An Yibei pondered a moment before saying, “Talk to her . She’s been a sucker for sweet talk and the soft approach since she was little . Say something nice and take her home . ”
Sheng Yize darted him a brooding look and smiled coldly . “Do you need me to set you up with some women?”
An Yibei recognized the sarcasm in his tone right away . After a moment of silence, he said in a low voice, “From now on, she will be my sister and nothing more . ”
“I certainly hope so, or…” Sheng Yize stopped mid-sentence, leaving An Yibei to figure out the rest .
He turned around and marched into the flat . An Yibei stood where he was for a long time before he took off his glasses .
In his brooding black eyes was an intense, complicated feeling that no one could possibly begin to comprehend .
He had to end this feeling himself, which was never supposed to have existed in the first place .
Pushing the door open, Sheng Yize went up to An Xiaxia and sat down beside her . He called her name gently . “Xiaxia . ”
Cheeks puffing up, An Xiaxia glared at him . “Didn’t I tell you to leave? Why are you still here? Mhm…”
An imposing kiss stopped the rest of her words and in the next second, he was on top of her . The scene on the small sofa then turned very hot indeed .
An Xiaxia was gasping for air when the kiss finally ended . Her eyes were watery and she said resentfully, “You’re such a horrible person…”
He would try to solve things with kisses all the time and never once asked if she wanted them .
Sheng Yize touched the corner of her eye with his fingertip, wiping away the tears . “Do you find me that awful?”
An Xiaxia looked away . “Hmph . ”
“Let’s talk, ok?” Sheng Yize adjusted the cushions so that she could sit comfortably . “Xiaxia, you know I love you very much, and I know you love me as much . Is that right?”
The little woman was still pissed off and wouldn’t look at him .
“If I had to choose between the child and you, it’ll always be you . Do you understand that?” Sheng Yize’s voice was a little hoarse as he explained to her patiently, “Now, you don’t have to have a baby yourself . If you like kids, we can adopt as many as you want . As long as you’re happy . ”
“But I’m with child now!” An Xiaxia wrinkled her nose . “It’s my baby and I’m having it no matter what . Irresponsible men like you, who only care about the fun you have in bed, have no idea how a mother feels!”
Sheng Yize sighed in resignation . He had made sure to use protection whenever they did it .
It was supposed to have a success rate of 99 . 8%, but they just happened to fall into that 0 . 02% .
He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry .
“I do understand . This is my child as much as it is yours . I’m its father and I probably want a child of our own more than you do . ” Sheng Yize chose his words carefully . “But given the current condition of your health, giving birth will be very dangerous . Xiaxia, please listen to me . Let’s get you better first, then we can have our own child . Ok?”
“But I’m in good health! Isn’t all childbirth risky in some way? Momo is in such great shape and He Jiayu is such a capable doctor, but aren’t they worried sick all the time? Are they going to have an abortion because of that, too?” An Xiaxia kicked him . “I’m willing to take the risk for the baby!”
Sheng Yize said nothing .
Vexed, An Xiaxia pushed him away and picked up a fruit knife from the table . “If you don’t let me, I – I’ll cut myself!”
