"Chen Qing, I..." Jiang Miao became hesitant. "You can have a child if you want. Why must it be Fu Jing's?"
"Because I love him. In fact, you know in your heart that I love him. Even if I can't be together, I still love him." I turned to look into his eyes. "I know that I love someone in my heart and marry you. It was a selfish decision I made to protect myself, so you can terminate this marriage at any time. I'm still grateful to you."
"You know... I... I like you. I can give you whatever Fu Jing gives you, and I can give whatever he can't. Why, why can't you..."
I interrupted his confession. "I can't. Young master Jiang, the child is mine. If you can't accept it, we won't get married. Can we stay in North city safely? I'm on my own. You can marry anyone with such good conditions. Don't ruin your own life for me. Time will make you fall in love with someone else."
I left without waiting for him to lock my car. I owed Jiang Miao a favor. It was too cruel for him to be a cheap father. Even if he agreed, I couldn't agree.
I took a taxi back to Jiang Miao's house. Before he came back, I packed a few clothes and my personal belongings and was ready to move away. I put the bracelet that Nanny Jiangmiao gave me on the table, and there was a note under the bracelet.
I know a hundred words of apology can't make up for the hurt that others have suffered, but I can do it, that's all.
After leaving jiang miao's house, I found a hotel to stay in. I really want to see Fu Jing now. I really want to.
I knew that Fu Shouye's men might still be staring at me, and he might even kidnap me again, but I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid of anything now that I have a child.
This is my child, the child of me and my beloved.
My phone suddenly rang, and I was startled. When I saw the number I hadn't seen for a long time, I froze. Ning Jing, why did she call me?
"Xiao Qing, it's me. I brought your father's ashes from my hometown to North city. I'll give them to you sometime."
"Didn't you say the nursing home would handle it? Why did you bring it to North city?"
Ning Jing paused, and the next second, his tone changed. "You still have a grudge after all these years? Is it really necessary to be so serious with your own father? I heard from Liu Mang that you sent your father to a nursing home and hired a lifetime lawyer for him, which proves that you still care about your father. Now that he's gone, can't you let him stay with his daughter after he dies?"
Her lesson made me confused. When was it her turn to gossip about our family?
Or did she get used to taking care of me and come up with her own way of making decisions for me?
"I thank you. You can scatter his ashes in your hometown. He didn't need his daughter before he died, and I don't think he needed her after he died." I hung up the phone angrily.
Not long after, Ning Jing called again. I didn't answer.
I knew her bad temper so well that if I didn't answer it, she would keep hitting me until I did what she wanted. I used to think she was nice to me, so I could put up with it all the time, but after the ring thing, I stopped thinking about it.
She's never been selfless to me. I've had enough of her kindness over the years.
I turned off my phone and stopped talking to her.
I was lying in bed, watching the tv series in boredom, hoping that fu jing would come to me.
At around nine o' clock in the evening, I switched on my phone again and again. The ringtone kept ringing for a while before it finally quieted down. It was all Ning Jing's missed calls, unread text messages, and wechat. She really did everything she could.
I glanced at it and deleted it all. I can't be bothered to read the general principles that others think are right.
I found Fu Jing's number. He didn't come to me, so we had to take the initiative.
"Fu Jing, I have something to tell you. Is it convenient for you now?"
"Convenient." His voice was sonorous and forceful, completely different from the one he met yesterday.
I lowered my head and pursed my lips, "I'm pregnant. The doctor said it's been two months."
After a long silence, he asked me, "Where are you?"
I told him the name and location of the hotel. In less than half an hour, he showed up at my door. As soon as I opened the door, he picked me up.
I screamed and felt the same excitement in his heart as I did. "Put me down. I'm dizzy. I'm dizzy."
He sat on the sofa, and I sat on him with my legs crossed and my hands around his neck.
"I want to stay with this child." I looked at him seriously.
He smiled, a smile I haven't seen in a long time. "You have to stay."
"But, I can't marry Jiang Miao anymore. He's a diamond bachelor, and there's no reason to be a stepfather to my child." I told him what I was thinking. "Your grandfather knows about my marriage to Jiang Miao, so he won't bother me anymore. If he finds out that the marriage is fake, can I stay in North city?"
Fu Jing smoothed the hair around my ear. "Why don't you believe I can protect you?"
"I..." I lowered my eyes. "My sister's incident cast a shadow over me. When she was young, she might have thought that love was too much, but I had worked so hard in North city for so many years. I was very realistic. I cherished my life and my wealth, so I was afraid that if you couldn't protect me well, I might disappear one day."
"Silly." He hugged me. "If you go missing, then I'll go missing with you. If you die, then I'll..."
I covered his mouth. "Now I'm putting our lives in your hands, Fu Jing. Don't let me down."
He took my hand and hugged me tighter.
That night, he stayed here, and we talked a lot, talking about checking out tomorrow to stay at his house, talking about my dangerous situation in Melbourne, talking a lot.
It turned out that when I took the box Fu Shouye gave me home, Fu Jing looked inside. He knew where I was going to study. After I left, he immediately chased after me and rented a house across from my apartment.
That night, I met a burglar who scared me half to death. After that, the bad guy didn't show up. I thought he ran away because I said I was going to call the police, but it wasn't at all. Fu Jing beat him up and warned him not to think of me.
And Yun Yang, Yun Yang was a relative of Fu Jing's. After junior high, he was sent abroad. Fu Shouye helped me with the enrollment procedures. Yun Yang helped me a lot, and Fu Jing bribed Yun Yang as soon as she got there. She even told him to protect me and take care of me.
Alas, I escaped so far, but I still did not escape from Fu Jing's hands.
"Fu Jing, I don't like this world. I don't like the helplessness of reality. I only like you." I hid in his arms, so relieved.
