Ming Yue took a deep breath. “It’s none of your business who I like, right?” Now that the truth had been revealed, why was he still so aggressive? Ming Yue’s eyes were red, and she felt inexplicably aggrieved. Her tears fell like broken beads. No matter how hard she tried, she could not wipe them away. “Now that you know who the culprit is, please don’t humiliate me anymore.”

Liu Jingxing scratched his head in frustration and felt suffocated. He loosened his tie with one hand, but it was useless. He took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth. Just as he was about to light it, he remembered that Ming Yue was pregnant and he could not smoke. Liu Jingxing was a little flustered.

For the past two months, he had firmly believed that Ming Yue had tampered with the soup. Hence, he did not even think about investigating. After Zheng Ziheng reminded him, he did not even have to spend much effort to find the real culprit. It was that simple. However, in the past two months, he had directly sentenced Ming Yue to death. No matter how the other party explained, he would treat it as a lie.

Ming Yue’s accusations and tears left him at a loss. He recalled the snide remarks he had made about her over the past two months and the humiliating accusations he had made. For the first time in his life, Liu Jingxing finally tasted the taste of regret. In front of criminals, both of them were victims. But in front of her, what was he? A high and mighty abuser who did not listen to anyone’s explanation?

He couldn’t help but think of what Zheng Ziheng had said. “An old granny with a heart disease came to the hospital. Her physical fitness is average. Her body probably deteriorated due to long years of farming. She doesn’t have any other relatives. She only has a 23-year-old granddaughter who took care of her every day in the hospital. When I go to the rooftop to take a breather every day, I often see her hiding on the rooftop to eat instant noodles. After eating, she brings a lunch box with a good combination of meat and vegetables to the ward to feed her grandmother. It’s been five months. No matter what others say, she hasn’t given up on the old woman.”

She was a strong, kind, beautiful, and stubborn girl. Like a flower that had just bloomed and was ravaged by a storm, she tried her best to straighten her back and refused to lower her head. The two of them had an accident, and she had almost become the last straw that broke the camel’s back.

“I’m sorry,” he said and regretted it. Those words were too light. How could he use those two simple words to pretend nothing had happened after two months of hurt?

The woman was still crying. There was no sound at all, only tears. His heart was clenched into a ball, and he could not breathe. He strode over and wrapped her in his arms. “Cry. After you’re done crying, let’s go to the hospital and abort the child. I’ll bear your grandmother’s medical expenses and all the subsequent expenses for you. I’ll coordinate with my family, and the agreement will be voided. If you have any other requests, I’ll fulfill them.”

Ming Yue was in a daze from crying and could not react. She asked with tears in her eyes, “Why abort the child?” Liu Jingxing did not know how to respond to her. Ming Yue also reacted and asked, “What do you mean by the agreement is void?”

“You don’t have to give birth to this child because of the Liu family’s request. Of course, if you want to give birth to the child yourself, it’s up to you. You’re the one who has to be pregnant for ten months.” Ming Yue lowered her head and thought for a long time before pushing Liu Jingxing away.

She understood what the young master meant. He wanted to make it up to her. The young master said that he would bear grandmother’s medical expenses. In the beginning, Ming Yue agreed to give birth to the child because she wanted to treat grandmother’s illness. At that time, she did not have any feelings for the child in her stomach, but now that he had been in her stomach for two months, she had already experienced the feeling of being a mother.

There were still three months left. When the baby was as big as Tang Tang’s baby, it would start kicking. One day, she was even kicked by Tang Tang’s child. Her heart instantly softened.

How magical and unbelievable. Would the baby in her stomach, who had half of her genes, like her as a mother in the future? Now, when she went out, she would subconsciously look at babies. When she played with her phone, she would watch some parenting videos that she would never watch before.

She planned to tell him that after the baby was born, she wanted custody of the baby. She would work hard to save money to repay her grandmother’s surgery fees in the future. However, on second thought, if the baby followed her, he would definitely not be able to live a life where he did not have to worry about food and clothing and could use the best of everything. Moreover, the old madam would not allow it. She had been looking forward to this child for so long. How could she give custody to her?
