What was the point of accepting so much money and houses from him? To sell her child for fortune? The two of them had made a mistake and got pregnant. An innocent life had come into this world just like that. She only felt sorry for that child.

“Leave it to the child. If it’s a boy, he will feel less pressured when he gets married in the future. If it’s a girl, she will need a house of her own even more. It can be her premarital assets. If her life after marriage is not smooth, it will be her escape route.”

Liu Jingxing was a little confused. “You should worry about yourself. My Liu family doesn’t lack these things to give to the child.” Ming Yue touched her nose awkwardly. No wonder old people often said that pregnancy made one stupid for three years. She had only been pregnant for a few days, so why was her brain not working well already?

The descendants of the Liu family would never have to worry about material needs in their lives. However, she thought about it and insisted, “I know your family is rich, but you will definitely get married and have children in the future. My baby will definitely not be able to compete with my younger siblings without anyone to support him. Once the child is born, transfer the house to his name.”

Liu Jingxing was so angry that he laughed. “Have you watched too many television dramas? The descendants of the Liu family have their own shares since they were born. Your 20 million yuan is not even enough for the baby’s expenses before he goes to university.”

His words revealed an uncontrollable arrogance. The way he was acting high and mighty deeply pierced Ming Yue’s heart. People were indeed divided into upper, lower and middle class from birth. For someone like her, even buying a small house in the suburbs would require her to pay the mortgage for ten to twenty years. However, he said that twenty million yuan was not even enough for the baby’s expenses before he went to university.

“Whether it’s enough or not, this is the only thing I can leave for him as a mother.” She lowered her head and signed the papers.

Liu Jingxing’s was a little shocked. Was this woman serious? She gave up on 20 million just like that?

Ming Yue signed the agreement and pushed it in front of him. When she saw the water stains on his shirt, she was stunned for a moment. “I’m sorry for splashing water on you just now. I don’t usually act like this. You’re too infuriating. Also… you should change into another shirt.”

His assistant must have seen everything when he brought the agreement over just now. He had lost face in front of his subordinate.

“You know it too!” Liu Jingxing gritted his teeth and returned to the master bedroom to change out of his dirty shirt. He thought about how Secretary Tang had slipped away immediately after sending the things over, and how he had opened the door in this dirty shirt just now. His sorry state was clearly seen. He gritted his teeth in anger. “If I hadn’t been so angry with you, I wouldn’t have opened the door in that dirty shirt!”

“Who asked you to provoke me first? I’m still angry.” He gritted his teeth and stared at her as if he wanted to eat her up. Ming Yue refused to admit defeat. Who didn’t know how to bare their teeth?!

She did not know that because she had just cried, the corners of her eyes were red. Her eyes were dark and clear. She was like a cute little deer, and her angry appearance was not scary at all.

Liu Jingxing glared at her for a few seconds. An inexplicable feeling surged in his heart, so he turned his head away from her. “I can’t be bothered to argue with you.”

After putting on his coat, he walked to the entrance to change into his leather shoes and strode out to work. Ming Yue was left alone in the house. She cleared the dishes on the table and turned around to find a pot of unknown plant on the balcony. The leaves were a little withered and crooked, as if they were about to die.

She watered the plant, changed her clothes, and went downstairs. As soon as she walked out of the unit, she saw Sun Yu sitting on the chair from yesterday, waiting for her. When he saw her coming out, he jogged over to her. “Ming Yue-jie, where are you going? I’ll drive you.”

“To the Central Hospital.” She hadn’t visited her grandmother for a few days. When they reached the entrance of the hospital, she thanked Sun Yu. “Get off work early this afternoon. You don’t have to wait for me. I still have to meet my friend later.”

That friend was called Tang Tang. She met her when she was working in KFC during the summer vacation before she went to university. Tang Tang was three years older than her. After graduation, she and her boyfriend opened a dessert shop near the university and business was booming. She was a very warm and cheerful elder sister. The two of them hit it off at first sight and kept in touch. She would occasionally go to the dessert shop to help.
