Bingwen's hard voice scared Menxiang as he grabbed her hands tightly and shook her roughly. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DON'T INTEND TO KEEP THIS BABY?"
"Let me go! Bingwen, you are hurting me. Let me go!" Menxiang struggled for a while before she was flung on the couch, lying there like a dead body.
"Tell me, do you really intend to kill this baby?" Bingwen couldn't believe that this was the woman he had fallen in love with.
"Its my body, Bingwen and I can do whatever I want with it!" Menxiang screamed at him before she broke down again crying.
"Oh, I see. Now that you have become He Yuhan's fiancee, it will be a burden if you carry a bastard into the family!" Bingwen felt like breaking something.
"That's not it, that's not it." Menxiang could hardly refute his claim when she was picked up again, frowning at the grip he had on her wrist.
"You don't know just how much I regret that night." Bingwen scowled at her, his voice hardened with hatred. "How I regret knowing you and how much I regret falling in love with you!"
"What is going on here?" A young woman's voice interrupted their discussion. Both of them broke apart and Menxiang quickly approached her.
"Chunlan, you are awake!" Menxiang have her a hug, quietly sobbing as she drew strength from her.
"Please excuse me." Bingwen passes them as he stared to go upstairs, leaving a final warning to Menxiang. "It will do you good for you postpone your plans, Miss Su. Make a wrong move and things will go very bad for you, I promise."
Menxiang inhaled a sharp intake of breath and Chunlan didn't need a fortuneteller to know that they had just fought.
"Menxiang, what happened? Why are you two fighting now?"
Menxiang struggled to compose herself before she smiled weakly. "Its just about the things people like us normally go through when they are breaking up. Don't worry about it."
Chunlan allowed her to lead her to a chair before she spoke. "Menxiang, listen to me. I can't tell you that I am sure about anything when it comes to the problems between you and Bingwen. What I am very sure about is the love that he has about you."
"I know." Menxiang felt that she would break down any moment from the pain she was feeling right now. She also wished that things didn't have to be this way. "I was so stupid, Chunlan. I was too foolish not to realize my love for him and now its haunting me."
"Things like that cannot be rushed neither can it be forced. I just want you to always do things that won't disturb your conscience. Trust your heart, my friend when your head can't make the decision for you."
Huizhong returned to the house with his wife in a calm manner contrary to everyone's expectations. Chunhua and Chunying stayed in their rooms pretending to be sleeping and they didn't dare go outside.
Chunhua brought out her homework and starting writing, ignoring her sister that was lying down, daydreaming but Chunying even started talking about her fantasises. "Hua'er, did you see that Japanese guy that stayed in the room with us? He is.....just so handsome!"
Chunhua frowned when she realized the person her twin was talking about. "Stay away from him, he looks dangerous!"
"Isn't everyone we know dangerous? I don't care! All I know is that he has captured my heart with just his smile!" Chunhua felt like puking when she saw her starry eyes filled with love.
"Father bȧrėly approved of Jie Jie's marriage to Brother Jihai, what do you think he will do when he finds out you are going after his cousin? You are just a college freshman, just focus on your studies!" Chunhua said coldly.
Chunying sobered up immediately at the mention of her father's name, pouting as she brought out her own books. "I will just wait for Jie Jie to get married, then I will ask for her help then. I won't give up!"
Meanwhile in the night, Haifeng gently dried her husband's hair as they talked on the bed. "Do you really plan not to help the Sakai clan punish the Wen family for what they did? After tricking us like this, if we don't do anything, people will think that we have become afraid of them because of Wen Qiqiang. Besides, even if we don't do anything, your godbrother, Lai Weilong will definitely not let this go....."
Huizhong became exasperated with her chattering, as he struggled to stay awake even though he just wanted to sleep due to her massages. "Enough, woman. I know you are just afraid that something bad will happen to Lan'er if we don't interfere. Don't worry, I will keep her safe!"
She smiled. "You are the one who understands me best."
Huizhong quickly made her lie on the bed before he turned off the bedside lamp. "Alright, let's go to sleep now. No more talking or else, I won't let you rest all night!"
Haifeng blushed shyly when she heard his words. "Husband, let's sleep then."
Huizhong closes his eyes only for a few minutes when he faintly heard his phone ring. He was about to move when he felt his wife's hands gently press him down. "Don't worry, I will get it."
He nodded.
Haifeng got up from the bed and went to search her husband's clothes for his phone when she saw it was Yin Tao that was calling him.
"Have you found it?" She heard her husband's voice and immediately declined the call. Afraid that he will call again, she even deleted his number and turned off his phone.
"Yes, but it's not your phone that is ringing. It was Chunlan who called me." She dropped the phone back and returned to bed.
"What does she want now?" Huizhong's tired voice contained a trace of annoyance.
"Nothing, she just called because she is worried that you are still angry with her." She put the blanket over his shoulders as he scowled.
"That little brat, so its just now she has realized that she has done something wrong. Turns out she still has some conscience left!"
"Enough, Husband. Let's go to bed, okay " Haifeng coaxed him softly.
She thought, Oh Lan'er......this mother is really trying her best to protect you!
