Chapter 19
Ling Yichen reached out and gently stroked her stomach twice, then lifted her chin and said in a deep voice: "Woman, who you belong to in the future is none of my business, but you belong to me now, you must remember that! And don't think you can be arrogant just because you have my child in your belly ...... One million is not money to me at all. This child is no more the only one for me than he is for you."
Summer's eyes burst into tears, what he meant was: he could have this child or not?
"Since he's not your only child, give him to me! I can pay you back, you give me some time, I'll pay you back with interest, can I?"
Xia Mao no longer dared to treat him with the same tone and attitude as before, she knew very well that her child would have to beg for a living under his hands in the future, where else would she have the capital and right to be arrogant?
"I've been pregnant with him for seven months, I've fallen in love with him, just give him to me, can you?" Xia Mao cried and begged, "I can sign a contract with you, I will find a way to earn money to pay you back in the shortest possible time, can I?"
"Make money in the shortest possible time? Are you trying to give birth to someone else to sell again?"
Ling Yichen didn't know what was wrong with him, hearing her say that she was going to marry another man and have children, hearing her say that she was going to take the child in her belly with her, his mood was so unpleasant that he couldn't help but be angry.
But looking at her charming face and her frighteningly large belly, he had no way to really do anything to her, so he used the coldest and most heartless words to irritate her.
He did this just to let this woman know who and where she stood on her own and not to have any delusions of grandeur, and he was even thinking now that if this woman would be honest and obedient, he wouldn't mind raising her as such an extra person.
After all, she was the mother of his child, and if she really had a child with someone else's man, as she had said, where would she let his son's face stand?
Xia Mao's tears stopped at once, and she blinked her curly, wet eyelashes a few times, looking at him incredulously, her heart turning a thousand times, she didn't expect him to say such things about her.
She could say harsh things and hurt people with her words, but she didn't dare, and she couldn't!
For the sake of the child, she could not offend the man in front of her either.
In the end, she said something so condescending that Ling Yichen was crying and laughing, but his anger subsided.
"If you keep saying that, I'll get really angry and never be good with you again."
"Not be nice to me?" Ling Yichen reached out and pulled him up into his arms, her childish words made Ling Yichen laugh out loud in a rare moment, "Then who else do you want to be good with?"
"You always give me a face, and you always laugh at me." Xia Mo was really a bit aggrieved, she looked at him with tears in her eyes, "This time I was really desperate, that's why I did the surrogate thing, once in my life, it was enough to break my bones, my body and regret for the rest of my life, how could I possibly do it again?"
Ling Yichen's heart shook and his smile faded.
When she lay down on the bed, Xia Mao's mind was still thinking about what the man had just said.
His wife couldn't have children, but he said that the child in his belly wasn't his only child, so would his own children be able to live well in the future?
Should she please him so that he can be kind to her child?
But would she be able to please him?
She picked up a pillow and placed it beside her, then turned on her side and padded it under her stomach, gently pulling up the quilt to cover herself.
"Your tummy's not feeling well?" Ling Yichen, who had been watching her, peeked over and opened his mouth to ask.
Xia Mao did not want to talk to him, but thinking of his words before, she said, "My stomach is too big, it's falling down a bit, so a pillow would be more comfortable."
With a pause, she couldn't hold back and continued, "Don't worry, it won't crush your baby."
"He's yours too." Ling Yichen casually answered.
Then their eyes locked again, and after a pause of three seconds, Xia Mo closed her eyes with red circles, "I'm a bit sleepy."
Ling Yichen took off his shirt, lifted the blanket off her body and hugged her from behind, saying two words that were not gentle but definitely not cold either, "Go to sleep!"
Ling Yichen reached out and placed her head on his arm, while his other large hand went down the lapel of her shirt and gently caressed her stomach.
Xia Mao's body stiffened for a moment, then softened and she let out a soft "mmm" through her nose.
"If I don't come back at night, you can stay in the room downstairs. Tomorrow, let Feng Ma clean up that room first, so you don't have to close the door to sleep at night ...... Or else, move a little bed and put it by the door?" Ling Yichen said with some hesitation.
"Which has put the bed at the door?" Xia Mao frowned in confusion and reached out to put the quilt over the two of them, "It's not like we're watching the prisoners."
"If you're sleeping downstairs, you might as well put some clothes on." Ling Yichen suddenly got up and pressed his ear to her stomach.
He had seen a picture like this posted on an advertising board today, and he was thinking what kind of sounds he could hear.
"What kind of sound could be heard? Can you hear his heartbeat?" Summer ended up watching him listen for a while before asking curiously.
"Have you drunk a lot of water today?" Ling Yichen asked.
"No, it's pretty much the same as usual, what's wrong?" Xia Mao asked, puzzled.
"Your stomach is full of 'gurgling' water." Ling Yichen spoke with disgust, but then, undeterred, pressed his ear to her stomach again, only to have Xia Mao's stomach suddenly bulge out in a big bag, right on Ling Yichen's ear, startling Ling Yichen.
He looked at Xia Mao with some shock, "What is this?"
"I... I don't know." Xia Mao's face changed slightly, "What's going on?"
"Do you feel any pain anywhere? Don't be afraid, I'll take you to the hospital now."
Ling Yichen looked at the bag that had been standing there and was busy jumping up from the bed, finding his trousers and lifting them up without even putting on his underwear, ripping off several hairs, but he couldn't care less.
His eyes were still on the woman on the bed, and seeing that there was nothing wrong with her, he went back to putting on her nightdress with his bare hands, but in his fumbling, he couldn't even get the sleeves of the dress right.
Suddenly, he swept up the telephone on the bed and he immediately picked it up and found the doctor's number and dialled it.
"What's the matter with pregnant women who always have big bulges on their stomachs?" His voice shook slightly, causing Summer's heart to lift tightly.
"That's the baby moving around inside the mother's belly, it's also a fetal movement, the bulging area could be the fetus' buttocks or knees, or it could be the fetus' hands and feet, this is all normal, don't worry ......" The doctor didn't finish his words, Ling Yichen hung up the phone after saying "thank you" in a stiff voice.
"It's okay." The company's main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers.
Xia Mao looked at the man who didn't know where the fire was coming from and blinked, full of bewilderment.
Mei said Weixin public number, see more good-looking said!
Chapter 20
"Let me see if there's any more of that bag." Ling Yichen took off his own clothes, then twisted his head to look at Xia Mao, turned and ripped off the pajamas she had just put on again.
"Can you be more civilized?" After all this time together, Xia Mao no longer had that initial fear of his Mi and violence, she just felt speechless, "The bag seems to be gone."
The man pressed his ear to her stomach for another half day, but could no longer wait for the baby to say hello to him.
He could only lie down in discouragement, but from that night onwards, the man had one more thing to do, and that was to listen to the woman's belly every day.
In a flash Xia Mao was eight months pregnant, and it was Ling Yichen who accompanied her to a private hospital.
"Where is Madam?" Xia Mao hadn't seen Lu Wanru and Wu Ma for a month.
"She's out of the country for something." Last time Lu Wanru said she was coming back but never did, and today she called herself and asked him to pick her up from the airport in the evening, saying she was worried about people seeing her now that she wasn't pregnant.
But in his heart he couldn't help but think about where he should live after Lu Wanru returned.
Should he go back to the old mansion, or continue to live in this home?
In the examination room sat a young female nurse who looked at them with a curious look in her eyes, wondering in her heart what the two men were from that they needed the hospital to clear the entire fifth floor.
"Name." The female nurse opened the hospital register.
"Xia Mao." Xia Mao looked at her about to write it on the hospitalization form and was busy stopping her, asking, "Do you still need an ID card for hospitalization?"
"You don't have to." The nurse smiled and said bluntly, "Someone else has to use it."
"Then it's better to put my name as Summer." Xia Mao smiled and gave her a thank you.
It was then that Ling Yichen realised that he didn't know what her name was.
Summer's End, Summer, which was her real name? Or were both names not hers?
"Age." The nurse gave her a strange look and then asked.
"Ten ...... twenty-two." Summer's end, who never lied, even her ears burned red.
"There's no need to fill out any of these things, you tell your dean that it was me who said it." Ling Yichen reached out and helped the woman stand up, "Let's go do the examination first."
"Good." Xia Mao was busy breathing a sigh of relief, happy to see him blinking his big black and white eyes, looking at him meekly, two nice pear swirls at the corners of his mouth then flashing straight at him.
Ling Yichen's eyes sank slightly.
How does she look like twenty-two?
The fact that she often looked at the questions in the entrance exams and the word "ten" she just said, she should only be 18 or 19!
How dare he let a high school student have a baby?
"How old are you, anyway?" Following the nurse, he reached out and gently wrapped his arm around her waist and whispered in her ear.
"Eighteen now, and in a little over two months, it'll be nineteen." Summer's end also pressed against his ear and whispered quietly.
That warm breath, the orchid-like breath, made Ling Yichen's gaze tighten on her cherry lips.
Had he never kissed her before? How was it that there was no memory of the two of them kissing at all?
"Have I ever kissed you?" Ling Yichen's thin lips suddenly came up to her ear, deliberately touching her alabaster-like ear.
Xia Mao's footsteps lurched and she almost didn't fall down the stairs, she looked at the man in front of her as if he was a monster.
"Can I stay with the baby until the full moon?" Xia Mao suddenly stopped in her tracks and turned her head to look at him with red eyes, "Only until the full moon, is that okay?"
"Good." Ling Yichen thought for a moment before he reached out and touched the broken hair on top of her head
"Thanks." At this moment, Xia Mao felt as if the man in front of her had become a lot closer.
What he actually wanted to say was not just the word "good", but what he wanted to say was: if you want, you can always stay in that courtyard.
"Yichen?" Suddenly a soft female voice sounded from the back.
Xia Mao and Ling Yichen couldn't help but turn around together and look at the woman coming up from the bottom of the stairs.
Ling Yichen's arm was as if he had been electrocuted, fiercely removing it from Xia Mao's body, causing Xia Mao to look sideways.
"Wanqiu? When did you return to China?"
A woman who looked a bit like Lu Wanru, but looked even more bright and beautiful, smiled and took a few quick steps to Ling Yichen, reaching out and hugging his arm.
"Yichen, I'm pregnant!" The woman's voice was as bright as the sunshine, her smile as gorgeous as the sunset, her whole body and soul was filled with excitement, her big bright eyes only stared at Ling Yichen alone, not even noticing the other people.
"What did you say?" Ling Yichen's face changed slightly.
"I ...... said I'm pregnant, I'm having your baby, aren't you happy?" The smile on the woman's face froze before she saw Xia Mao next to her, "Yichen, who is she?"
Xia Mao held her stomach in her hands, her face as white as paper, her eyes couldn't help but stare at the woman's still flat stomach.
This woman was actually pregnant with his child too? They had actually gotten two women at the same time? So what now? Was there a meritocracy?
"Yichen, she wouldn't be the woman who was a surrogate, would she?" When Yuan Wanqiu saw that Ling Yichen had not said anything, as if he had suddenly reacted, she looked at Ling Yichen, her eyes were red and tears rolled down her face, "Did you really find a surrogate woman?"
Ling Yichen pursed the corners of his mouth, his jaw taut, and looked at Lu Wanqiu with a shocked expression, still having trouble reacting from the news she said.
Xia Mao took two unseen steps back, so she was not the same as herself, she was his lover?
Facing the unresponsive man, Lu Wanqiu's face suddenly turned white.
She wiped her face with the back of her hand and raised her hand to touch her stomach, the happiness in her eyes instantly turned to sadness, and she couldn't help but murmur: "It's true, the name is not right, and in the end, you can't stay. In fact, this matter, in itself, is not to blame for you, for so many years, you have been ......"
After Lu Wanqiu finished speaking, she turned around to leave.
Ling Yichen reached out and pulled in Lu Wanqiu who turned to leave, "Wanqiu, how could I not want it? No matter what, he is still a life, leave him ......"
"Yichen--" Lu Wanqiu turned around and jumped into his arms in one smooth motion, sobbing, "You don't know how happy I was in my heart when I found out I was pregnant. I finally have your child with me, I have been hoping for so many years, waiting for so many years, I have finally waited, even if you don't want this child, I still want to give birth to him, I would rather take him to a place where no one knows, I still want to give birth to him ......"
"Fool, he's not just your child, he's my child too." Ling Yichen's face was ugly, but his movements were gentle as he patted her back, his eyes looking towards Xia Mao who was a meter away.
Xia Mao bit the corner of her lip lightly, looking at them in a wooden daze, like a prisoner awaiting trial, but seeing a big show before the execution.
"But ...... but, what if she ...... doesn't agree?" Lu Wanqiu raised her head from his arms and looked at Ling Yichen with teary eyes, a look of panic flashed across her face, she broke out of his embrace again in a flash, "No, I can't have this baby, my sister will be sad, she will hate me even more."
As if she had only just thought of Lu Wanru, she began to wail again, backing away as she spoke, and with a turn, she looked at Xia Mao behind her.
Xia Mao looked at the hint of ruthlessness in her eyes and busily reached out and clasped her hand to her stomach, but still missed.
"Ah..." Xia Mao screamed as she pushed her, and fell backwards with a stomp.
She looked over at the man in panic and fear.
His face paled, his eyes flashed with panic, and he was busy reaching out to her, and she reached out her own hand to him, but in the nick of time, the woman who had pushed herself, with a twist of her body, unexpectedly fell down towards the stairs screaming too.
With a twist of his wrist, Ling Yichen grabbed the other woman who was close at hand.
"With a few muffled thumps, Xia Mao fell down five steps in a row, like a kite with a broken string, and fell to the ground in the corner, with a trace of bright red blood seeping from the corner of her mouth, lifeless.
She looked down at the growing blood beneath her and rushed to the man who was holding another woman a few steps away, pleading in a low voice: "Please, save the child ......"
