"Father, don't be impatient. You should take care of it here for a while, I will go and find A Hao."
While she was rushing out, she told the butler, "Go tell those people outside that Daddy just took some medicine to rest up. We'll meet them in half an hour."
"Yes, Miss Xu, I will go and stop them now."
The butler hurriedly ran out, locked the door with a smile on his face, and instructed the nurse outside, "No one is allowed in. Tell them the lord is resting."
She had to stall for time and convince A Hao. No matter what happened in the future, crossing this hurdle was the most important thing!
In the resting room next to the sickroom, Shen Zonghao finished his breakfast and stood by himself at the window looking out at the silver cloth. The sunlight was so weak, barely able to make its way through the dense black clouds, but the dazzling golden light still gave people hope.
Huaiyan pushed the door open and walked in. She locked the door softly and walked behind him. When he turned around, she gently put her arms around his waist and put her face on it.
He trembled slightly, but held her hand. The cold touch made him a little unhappy. "Why is it so cold? Why did you run out of here without putting on any clothes …"
He turned around and hugged her, wrapping her in his arms. "What did Daddy say to you?"
Huaiyan didn't answer. After a while, she softly said, "Hubby, just agree to daddy's request."
"What did you say?"
Shen Zonghao didn't believe that she would say such a thing. He lowered his head, pressed her shoulders and said: "You don't know what nonsense Father said, but you actually made me agree to his request!"
"I know that my father was right to do so. If it were me, I would do the same."
She lifted her head and looked at him intently. "I know you love me, so you won't betray me, right?"
He nodded without hesitation.
It was only at this moment that the sadness in her heart that had long ago appeared …
"Then, how could I blame you? I hate you." She pursed her lips, as if to give herself the courage to tell the truth.
"Do you know that Cai Mingzheng is carrying your child?" Her words were like a bomb that had blown him senseless.
"Yanyan, believe me, I have never touched her, no matter how drunk I am, how can I not know if I have done or not? "Don't listen to other people's nonsense …"
Shen Zonghao hurriedly explained to her, but she only smiled at him, and tears fell down his face while she laughed. She really pitied him, and even now, he still did not know the truth of the matter.
All the causes of her guilt were only a child. If only she could give him a child.
"Yanyan, don't cry, don't cry …"
His heart ached as he looked at her, angry and anxious. "I said I won't let you listen to my dad's nonsense, but you didn't believe me. Now that I've separated you from the rest of your heart because of something that doesn't seem to exist, and made you feel uncomfortable, do you feel good about letting me see it?"
"A Hao... The child in Cai Mingzheng's arms is indeed yours. The reason why you didn't know about it is because … "
She bit her lower lip and looked at his bewildered expression. She felt a sense of desolation at the bottom of her heart. Why was this world so cruel and complicated?
"Mrs. Shen, she … she drugged you …"
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt the arm holding her suddenly stiffen … She looked up in shock. Shen Zonghao's face was filled with disbelief, he stood still as a statue.
"Hubby?" The smiling face shook him gently, but he remained motionless.
"Hubby, what happened to you …"
Huaiyan's heart tightened. She hurriedly and vigorously shook him as she shouted in panic.
"I don't believe you. Are you lying to me, Yanyan?" However, he smiled and held her shoulders with his hand as he asked like a pure and innocent child.
"Why would she do this to me? I'm her only son." His voice gradually became hoarse, but the smile on his face became deeper.
Huaiyan didn't know how to reply so she could only gently hug him. "A Hao, let's accept our fate."
"No, I definitely won't …"
Shen Zonghao shook his head with all his might: "I still don't believe it, it must be fake, even if it is, even if she had drugged me, I still wouldn't touch that Cai Mingzheng! Besides you, I don't want anyone else, I've been waiting for you for five years, Yanyan, you've finally returned to my side, we have a pretty daughter, why would I touch anyone else?
He spoke anxiously, but his happy face actually felt wet. She thought she was crying, and when she looked up, the person who was crying was Shen Zonghao …
"Hubby!" She wanted to wipe his tears, but he held her tightly in his arms, "Yanyan, I won't allow you to think about leaving me. Even if it's just, even if that child is mine, I don't want it!"
"Hubby, calm down a bit … They came together under the escort of the board of directors. If you don't accept that child now, hubby, you will lose the Shen Family Group that your grandfather personally gave you! "
"The Shen Family Group is important, but he's just a dead body. Even if I lose the Shen Family Group, I will have the ability to give another one to grandfather in my lifetime. But if I lose you, where can I find an identical Xu Huanyan in this world? Where did I find such a good mother for my Nuan Nuan? Find myself such a good wife? I am not an idiot, I know what I want, Yanyan, you don't have to advise me … "
She tightly closed her eyes. When he was about to step out of the room, she finally spoke out: "I've already promised Father, Cai Mingzheng should be arriving at the hospital soon."
