"Jiang Miao, how can you think of me like that?" The only thing left for me to doubt about Jiang Miao was shock.
"Why can't I think like that? Now my whole family is helping you, and everyone is advising you and your son. I don't want to solve your problems, so that you and tingsheng can live openly and unrestrained! But what about you, pushing and shoving? My mom broke the ice and you still don't agree. What do you want?!"
Jiang Miao's face was cold, and in the end he used a roar.
I never dreamed that he would do this to me if I didn't agree to one of his methods.
For a moment, I didn't even know how to respond. I only felt the shackles, and now they were all around me and Tingsheng. One by one, they tied me so tightly that I was almost out of breath.
"You go out." I pulled the blanket over my neck and turned my back to him.
"Xiao Qing, if you really want tingsheng to be good, think about my idea. Don't regret it when tingsheng is gone."
Jiang Miao dropped this sentence and left my ward. I froze and felt powerless, seeping into my bones and blood. At this moment, I realized that no matter whether I depended on Jiang Miao or Fu Jing, no one could go far. If I didn't, I had to be stronger.
I have a brain and a body. Why should I rely on others?!
After Jiang Miao left, I changed and went to the newborn ward. When I saw Tingsheng sleeping soundly, a smile appeared on my lips.
I talked to Tingsheng's attending doctor for a long time. I wanted Tingsheng to be discharged from the hospital. The doctor said it was fine. Tingsheng is now very good looking. As long as he is fed carefully, he will soon be able to catch up with those full-term babies.
I told Jiang Miao about getting out of the hospital. He didn't have a big reaction, which means he agreed.
"If you want to hold a press conference, then do it, but I'll get to the bottom of it." I spoke calmly to him. "It's my last choice to let tingsheng take your surname and live under your name. If you don't want to, you can refuse at any time. But if you do, it's your kindness to our mother and son. I don't want to be labeled husband and wife between you and me after the press conference."
Jiang Miao looked up at me. "You mean, you don't want to be with me?"
"I'm sorry." I avoided his eyes.
"I can take care of you for the rest of my life, let tingsheng grow up safe and happy, and I can love you as much as I do now. I promise I will be loyal to you, and I won't be as reckless as I used to be." He grabbed my shoulder and shook it, making me dizzy.
I gently pushed his hand away. "You've been very good to me and Tingsheng these days. I'm not blind, I can see. But Jiang Miao, I can tell you for sure that I don't like you, and I don't want to be with you. When you hold a press conference, please tell me that I'm the mother of the child, not to mention who I am."
"Chen Qing!" His eyes were red and his tone was hurried. "Are you playing with me?"
"I'm not." I firmly denied, "I thought you were good to me, good to my children, and I could rely on you for the rest of my life to repay your kindness to us, but I couldn't do it. I thought I could do it myself before. Maybe I said something that crossed the line and made you misunderstand, so I apologize. But now I know what I think. I can't do it, I can't love you."
As soon as I finished speaking, I pushed open the door and went out. He wanted to calm down, so did I.
I squatted down the stairs, not crying, not sad, this is my first step, if I can't even take this step out, then I still talk about getting stronger.
Jiang Miao loved me, and he helped me. Emotional debt is the hardest to pay. I know that, but I don't want to talk about repaying people now. I don't want to be as clear about everything as I used to be.
Even if it was a debt, I would still owe it to others, and I would never let anyone owe it to me.
I squatted for a while, but I was also ruthless. When I returned to the ward, jiang miao had just finished smoking, so I opened the window to let the smoke out.
"Have you thought about it?" I asked faintly.
"Okay, just do as you say."
He compromised as I expected, not for anything else, because he liked me, and it was not pure to like this kind of thing. He asked for something in return, and I asked for it, and everyone took what they needed.
I kept comforting myself, telling myself not to be a mother, that nothing was more important than Tingsheng.
The next day, tingsheng and I went to the moon center. Jiang Miao deliberately arranged to take a picture of us and announce that tingsheng was Jiang Miao's son. As for me, no one asked, no one answered.
The yuezi center was luxurious and had all kinds of facilities. My sister-in-law was a babysitter for two months, and tingsheng and I got the best care.
"You've spent a lot of money this time, but I won't let you spend so much on us."
Jiang Miao glanced at me. "Why are you so polite all of a sudden?"
"You're welcome? No, it's just that it amazes me and makes me feel that it's great to be rich." I smiled.
"If there's anything you're not satisfied with, just say it. Whatever I can do, I'll try my best to do it." He raised his hand to pat me on the shoulder, and I dodged without a trace.
I raised my voice from the crib, gently coaxed him, and played with him. He could not smile, but only blinked his eyes.
When I turned around again, Jiang Miao was gone.
I glanced at the door and couldn't bear it. I kissed my son on the forehead. "Tingsheng, I treated him like this. Don't think mom's not good. She's playing tricks just to live a better life."
Because the press conference was held successfully, no one bothered me during my confinement, no one from the Fu family came, and even Hai Tang who had been eating too much did not come to take revenge.
As soon as I left the moon center, the reporters immediately surrounded me, blocking the distance from the door to the car.
The sunglasses and mask Jiang Miao had put on for me before I left the house worked very well. I lowered my head, held the child in my arms, and got into the car under the escort of the bodyguards and Jiang Miao.
"Mom, did you arrange these reporters?" Jiang Miao's eyes were filled with impatience.
Nanny Jiangmiao said, "Yes, the last time you held a press conference, the Fu family group stopped for a while. I don't trust them if they don't consolidate."
Jiang Miao glanced at me and saw that I was silent, so he stopped talking.
The car hadn't been driving for hundreds of meters, and my phone rang. It was Tan Jie.
"I just saw the video on the internet. You're done sitting on the moon. Is everything okay?" Tan Jie seemed to be very tired and was panting heavily.
I grunted and felt a warm current in my heart. "All right, how about you?"
"It's still the same. With a new manager, my career is a little down, but I'm glad I have more time."
His tone was cheerful, but my heart ached as I listened. I can't blame him for what he did from superstar Tan Jie.
