Chapter 205 - The Only Chance

He left the knob and reclined on the wall. It was the biggest con of his life. He felt as if his heart was gripped by iron claws. He fisted his c.h.e.s.t and closed his eyes. He was looking forward to see the baby and lately that has been his motivation to work.

However, what he just heard was impossible to bear. He felt winded as his c.h.e.s.t tightened. He started breathing fast. Slowly he slumped down and sat on the floor with a thud.

Ying Yue heard the sound and ran out of the door only to see Yan Xiaojun over there. She was taken aback. Quickly she wiped her tears and wondered whether he had listened to the conversation or not. But he looked as if he was in tremendous pain and he couldn't have heard the conversation. She squatted in front of him and checked his forehead. She asked, "Yan Xiaojun, are you alright?"

Yan Xiaojun opened his eyes and say Ying Yue in the dim light of the staircase. She looked like a ghost. He pushed her and she fell on the ground. She was shocked by his action and said in anger, "What are you doing? Don't you know I am pregnant?"

Yan Xiaojun got up from there and started leaving. Ying Yue also got up and ran after him. She caught his hand and said, "Yan Xiaojun, where are you going? Stay here tonight. I have made a list of things that we have to buy for the baby."

Ever since she listened to the doctor that she would never be able to become a mother, her mind went into an overdrive. She thought that she would leave the town on the pretext of a new job and would come back with an adopted child nine months later. That way no one would know about her secret and Yan Xiaojun would continue to cater to her needs and eventually marry her.

Yan Xiaojun removed his hand from her clasp. He again started going down the stairway. He was just one step down when she again held him from back and said, "Yan Xiaojun, please don't go. You see, the doctor has told me not get into any stressful situation. I have to stay happy."

Before she could speak any further, Yan Xiaojun slapped her hard on her face.

The burning sensation was so stinging that Ying Yue pressed her cheek with her hand and looked at him in bewilderment.

"Ying Yue, that slap is not because you faked your pregnancy but because I had started trusting you and you broke my trust. I forgot that a snake would never turn into a swan. Only someone as pathetic as you could even fake a pregnancy. And now you have the guts to carry on with this façade and trap me? Do you think it was so easy to continue with your drama? I would have eventually caught you."

Yan Xiaojun started laughing loudly as he looked at Ying Yue who was shocked with tears flowing out.

Then he said something that pinched her heart, "What a mistake you did by aborting Yang Xinyu's child. That was the only chance God had given you to be a mother…"

Ying Yue's secret was out. She shook her head crazily and said, "No, that is not true. The doctor was talking about someone else. She said that one of my friends couldn't become pregnant."

Yan Xiaojun looked at her with pity. But more than her, he pitied himself. He berated himself for falling in the trap of a woman as filthy as Ying Yue. He started to leave.

This time Ying Yue held his leg and said, "Yan Xiaojun, you can't leave me. We will make all this better. Trust me, I will make myself better. Don't leave me at this juncture of my life. I will kill myself if you leave," said Ying Yue trying to pressurize him mentally.

Yan Xiaojun smirked at her and then shoved her away. As he was going down the stairway, his emotions slowly changed to that of relief - he felt relieved, he felt free. He blew a breath and walked out of the house as fast as he could. Now he had to go to Bulgaria to get Wu Lina out of the clutches of Vladimir.

He knew that Yang Xinyu must have also gone there.

Even if Vladimir would agree to give his daughter's hands in his hand, Wu Lina would never agree – Yan Xiaojun had that at the back of his mind… Perhaps he was seeking retribution… he just had to go and save her…

He took the next flight to Sofia.

On the day of the party, Zhao Hai Xiang was trying to figure out how to get close to someone from the security. He desperately wanted to meet Yang Xinyu who had checked in a hotel. However, every time he would try to chat with the guards, he was rebutted with cold glares. Dejected, he went to meet Wu Lina.

Wu Lina was in her room resting on the bed. A designer had come over and she was displaying various gowns for her to wear in the evening. Wu Lina wasn't even paying attention. She wanted this ordeal to get over, as she felt extremely exhausted. When Zhao Hai Xiang came into the room, her eyes glinted.

In order to talk to him, she randomly selected a pink gown and asked the designer to go but the designer's work had only started. She went outside for a minute to bring back accessories that could be worn with the gown.

Wu Lina looked at her furiously and said, "Do what you want you do!" Unfortunately the designer couldn't understand a word she had spoken. So she didn't budge.

Wu Lina got up from her place and without seeing anything she just threw random accessories to pair up with the dress. Then she waved her hand for the designer to leave. The designer shrank in fear and left after collecting her stuff as quickly as possible. The designer's job was done and she had to come back in the evening to help Wu Lina dress up.

The designer had already left Zhao Hai Xiang's clothes in his room. She was asked to bring something decent for him.
