Chapter 995: Chapter 993: What Title Compares to You

“Su Hao!”

Wu Jinyan hastily sat up from the bed, but due to being overly excited, was kicked twice by the child in her belly.

“It hurts…”

Wu Jinyan subconsciously held her belly, her already pale and gaunt face growing even more haggard.

Su Hao tenderly supported her, his large palm gently resting on her belly, “Why are you being so naughty? Don’t you know your mother is in great discomfort right now?”

It seemed as though he was scolding the child inside Wu Jinyan’s belly.

Wu Jinyan gave a bitter laugh, her eyes complicated, “He has always been obedient, it’s just… I haven’t been good to him, he never used to fuss.”

Wu Jinyan thought back to her pregnancy thus far, whether she was considering an abortion or confining herself in her room without eating properly, the child had never before made his presence felt, but now he was able to kick her. Perhaps he wasn’t being mischievous but wanted to give her some spirit in front of Su Hao.

Su Hao’s eyes carried a trace of pity, “Since he is so obedient, you should treat him even better. I want to see our child born and then raise him well, teach him literature and martial arts, make him a pillar of the state.”

“You say… what?” Wu Jinyan’s lips trembled, and she gently pushed Su Hao away, “Stop saying such things. I know you’re worried and came to see me, but our marriage is canceled. In the future, whether you marry Lu Ying or some other young misses from rich families, stop coming to see me and the child, lest our presence tarnish your reputation…”

“How can I abandon you and the child just for the sake of my reputation?”

Su Hao’s gentle gaze fell on Wu Jinyan’s belly, “Your child is also my child. Although our marriage is canceled, I still wish to be with you until our old age, only… I cannot marry you as my wife, I’m sorry, Yan’er.”

“Su Hao, you know full well that this…”

“I know full well that this will affect my reputation, the reputation of the Marquis’s Manor, but I still must do so. My Yan’er, will you back down, will you leave me?”

Su Hao tightly grasped her hand, the masculine strength from his palm transferring to her, and Wu Jinyan’s heart began to burn hot.

In her heart, there were a million reasons not to tarnish Su Hao’s reputation, not to involve him in her future life and career, not to have him carry the stain associated with her for his whole life!

“Su Hao, if our initial encounter was a mistake, I would rather you forget it,” Wu Jinyan said tearfully.

If she knew that her existence would drag him down so much, Wu Jinyan would rather she had never taken action to save Su Hao.

“Yan’er, why do you have so little confidence in our love?” Su Hao asked her, hitting right at the heart of the matter.

His hand fell heavily on her shoulder, “You’ve faced hardships since you were young yet never backed down, you’ve raised the old, young, sick, and disabled at Fufeng Center and never backed down, but when it comes to me, you keep retreating. We have finally come together, and although there have been changes, my feelings for you have never wavered. Promise me, don’t back down, okay? Even if in the future I don’t marry, and we live in separate residences, we will still be together, okay?”

“Li Mansion? But in the future, you have to inherit the title, if you leave the Marquis’s Manor…” Wu Jinyan began to shake her head without even finishing her thought.

“If you wish to be the marquis’s madam, then this title means something to me, but if you don’t, my uncle and third uncle both have sons. My brothers are all excellent, and any of them can inherit the title. This title is not essential for me. I, Su Hao, rely on my own merit and achievements, not on a title,” he said with an imposing air that can only come from someone as capable as him.
