Chapter 290 - Pricked By Needles

Li Fang shivered and quickly looked away. She walked forward guiltily.

Bai Lian stood rooted to the ground and frowned hard. This was the first time they had met, so why was this country bumpkin so afraid of her?

It seemed like it was necessary to investigate.

Seeing Su Wan and her daughter walk away, Bai Lian smiled disdainfully and left.

Su Wan brought Li Fang around the mall for a while. Just like before, Li Fang refused to spend her money, as if she was an outsider.

Su Wan forcefully suppressed the doubts in her heart and sent Li Fang back.

In order to deal with Bai Lian, Su Wan stayed in the villa under Qin Lan’s name. Now that the matter was over, she naturally stayed in the old mansion of the Jing Family.

At the entrance of the Jing Family Mansion, Su Wan got out of the car and saw a familiar figure.

Jing Chen.

Jing Chen walked quickly to Su Wan and asked gently, “How do you feel today? Are you not used to it? Did they make things difficult for you?”

Su Wan was stunned for a moment before she found it funny. “No matter what, they’re my biological parents. Why would they make things difficult for me? On the other hand, I’m not used to you suddenly caring about me.”

It was true.

In the past two years of marriage, Jing Chen had been extremely gentle to her. He could be said to be a role model for men. At that time, she really thought that Jing Chen had fallen in love with her, but the appearance of Bai Lian woke her up from this act of love.

Although the current Jing Chen was indeed starting to treat her well, but…

Bai Lian was still pregnant.

It would be a lie to say that she did not mind.

Jing Chen was silent for a while. Looking at Su Wan’s calm expression, he felt very upset. “Wan wan, I just want… Can we return to how we were before? It’s just that this time, I’m sincere. I want to keep you by my side and we won’t be separated anymore, okay?”

With that, Jing Chen pulled Su Wan into his arms and rested his chin on her head.

If it was in the past, Su Wan would definitely be so touched that she would cry. It would happen in a moment.

But now, Su Wan was very calm. Her hands were lowered and her face was calm. The familiar smell of Jing Chen was at the tip of her nose, but she was not so infatuated anymore.

Without much anticipation, there would be less disappointment.

Su Wan pushed Jing Chen away gently. “Jing Chen, I told you last time that the marriage certificate can’t prove anything. Besides, I’m still with the Jing Family and the paternity test results are not out yet. At least there’s still time. You don’t have to be too anxious.”

After Su Wan finished speaking, she looked at Jing Chen meaningfully and took a step back. She walked into the house, leaving Jing Chen alone.

Jing Chen looked between his empty arms and was a little disappointed.

Later on, Jing Chen did not know how he got back. His dejected look made Zhao Lin not dare to breathe loudly.

Late at night, Su Wan lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling in a daze.

All kinds of things from the past appeared in her mind like a movie. Jing Chen’s gentleness, meticulousness, or later on, when Bai Lian appeared, his suspicion and distrust were like needles stabbing into Su Wan’s heart, it hurt so much it was suffocating.

Tears flowed from the corners of her eyes, followed by soft sobs. Then, they turned into silent cries.

Su Wan grabbed the blanket tightly and bit her lower lip.

It was not that she did not want to forgive Jing Chen, but she could not get over the hurdle in her heart. She was afraid of being hurt again.

Now that Bai Lian was pregnant, even if she was not sure if it was Jing Chen’s, who could say that there was no possibility?

…

Bai Lian wasn’t angry after being snubbed by Su Wan. She hummed a tune and returned to the villa.

But the moment she opened the door, Bai Lian’s smile froze on her face.

“Why are you here again? Can you let me know first? Be careful or I’ll call the police and say that you’re trespassing and breaking in to steal things!”

Bai Lian’s threat was weak. Gao Nan shrugged indifferently. “As long as you dare, you can call the police. When the time comes, I’ll let everyone know what a shameless woman you are. Then, I’ll tell your sweetheart that the child in your stomach isn’t his.”

Bai Lian’s expression changed drastically. She quickly went forward to cover Gao Nan’s mouth. She was still afraid. “If you tell anyone, both of us will be finished! You’d better be obedient!”

Gao Nan narrowed his eyes and took Bai Lian’s hand away. He even touched it and smiled wretchedly. “As long as you cooperate obediently, how can I tell anyone?”

Bai Lian slapped Gao Nan’s hand away in disgust. “The child is still unstable. Don’t do anything rash.”
