Zhu Jiangci's hands stiffened as he sat motionlessly to the side. His eyelids slightly closed and the expression in his eyes grew darker.

She really wanted children so much, and doted on them so much. If she gave birth to them and forcibly took them away from her, wouldn't she …? Will he go crazy?

No, Su Qiao An had always had an extremely strong self-recovery ability, even if the child was taken away, she would only feel pain for a short while, and would quickly wake up from the shock.

Zhu Jiangci did not want to face where his hesitation and unwillingness came from at this very moment. He had already decided from the very beginning and there was already no path of retreat, so this was all he could do.

Child or marriage, that was it.

He would give Su Qiao An the best life and would also provide her the best material conditions. No matter what she wanted to do, he would try his best to satisfy her.

Zhu Jiangci sighed silently and lifted his hand to gently wipe the tears at the corner of her eyes.

He did not disturb anyone when he came over, nor did he leave behind any words. No one knew that he came over during the night, and no one knew that he still held a bit of mercy towards Su Qiao An and the children.

Perhaps, he really wasn't as ruthless and merciless as he had imagined. He could really do anything without a care.

Before he left, Zhu Jiangci sat on the sofa in the living room downstairs without moving for a long time.

After a long time, he raised his hand and pressed his aching forehead. What was he hesitating for? This decision was already made long ago when she knew that Su Qiao An was pregnant, wasn't it? The fact that he chose Ke Er meant that he had to give up on Su Qiao An and his children.

There was no turning back. There was no turning back now. He could only take one step at a time.

Su Qiao An had a nightmares about the child the whole night. In her dreams, the child was gone, she searched everywhere for the child, but was finally found and snatched away. She was tired after walking and shouting, and she fell to the ground exhausted, losing the courage to continue looking for the child.

He didn't sleep well at night, and when he woke up, his head felt as heavy as a thousand kilograms. Even his drowsy state of mind wasn't clear enough, and his face was as pale as a ghost.

He was covered in sweat, and his calves were trembling as he climbed out of bed.

Su Qiao An forced herself to go to the bathroom to wash up. Before Qiao Er came, she had already went downstairs.

"Young Mistress, why did you get up so early?"

"So be it." Su Qiao An said dispiritedly, "Is Dad home?"

"He's here. Master woke up early in the morning."

Hearing that, Su Yun forced himself up, "Then I'll go look for him first."

Qiao Er was startled for a moment, seeing that Su Qiao An had difficulty moving, he stepped forward to support her, "Let me help you."

"Yes."

She wanted to talk to Chu Shixiong, even if she was going to tear off all decorum with him, she had to take Chu Shixiong's face into consideration. After Su Rong passed away, Chu Shixiong was the only one who treated her well, so she would definitely be grateful.

When Qiao Er woke up early, Feng Manli had not woken up yet. When Qiao Er helped Su Qiao An look for a place to go, Chu Shixiong was pruning the excess flowers in the flower garden.

"Dad." Su Qiao An called out softly.

Chu Shixiong's hand paused, he turned around and saw Su Qiao An, smiling benevolently, "Why are you up so early? You must be very heavy now, so don't walk around, you must be careful. "

"I know." Su Qiao An said, "I want to talk to you."

Talk?

Chu Shixiong sized up Su Qiao An and saw that her expression was ugly. He then nodded: "Qiao Er, you go down first, without my order, no one is allowed to come here."

"Alright." Qiao Er left respectfully.

"Qiao An, what do you want to talk about with me?"

"Father, did you give those things to me back then because of your agreement with Zhu Jiangci?" Su Qiao An asked, "You promised that as long as he agrees to me giving birth to the child, you would allow him to marry Jiang Kerou and let him enter the house. Give my child to Jiang Kerou to raise, right? "

Chu Shixiong's expression changed, "Qiao An … You heard Dad say that Dad was forced to do this. "

"I know that you are forced to do this, so I am not here to cause you trouble, nor am I here to seek an explanation." Su Qiao An forced a smile, "I want to tell you that I don't want to chill your heart, but for the sake of your child, I can do anything. He forced me too hard, I don't have any other choice, I … I will make those things public. "

Su Qiao An laughed bitterly as he looked at Chu Shixiong, his eyes filled with tears.

Chu Shixiong sighed deeply, "Originally, I thought that I could buy you ten more months. I thought that Jiang Yu would change his mind, but who would have thought …"

On the night of the new year, he brought that woman to the feast, and ignored Qiao An. She would hate him, would grumble at him, and furthermore, Jiang Shu was still planning to chase Su Qiao An away when the child was born, and give the child to Jiang Kerou to raise. If it was him, he would most likely choose to fight Zhu Jiangci to the death.

"I'm also old, even if I wanted to, I wouldn't be able to meddle in your affairs. Don't worry, you can do whatever you want, dad will definitely support you and stand by your side."

"Thank you." No matter what, Chu Shixiong was the only one who truly treated her well in this family, and was the only one who gave her warmth.

She only wanted to live a peaceful life, but if Zhu Jiangci wanted to steal her child, he still wanted his own child to go and call someone else's mother. How could she endure that?

"Good child, don't be wronged by others. Just do whatever you want to do." Chu Shixiong paused for a moment, then said with a look of shame, "Think about it, I was the one who let you fall into such a predicament. If it wasn't for my selfishness, you wouldn't be in such a difficult situation right now.

Su Qiao An's eyes filled with tears and she suddenly shook her head. "No, if it wasn't for father, based on my previous predicament, I might have had a more difficult time."

"Alright, don't cry, you are a person with a pregnancy right now, every action of yours will affect the child. Whatever you want to do, Dad won't interfere, and that bastard should have suffered a bit. I'm very pleased, you will tell me in advance before you make a move." From the moment Chu Shixiong had chosen to give everything to Su Qiao An, it meant that he had already decided to give up his entire Chu Family.

The mistakes he made, he would not have the chance to make up for in this lifetime. He could only try his best to satisfy Su Qiao An's requests and guarantee that Su Qiao An would be able to go through the process safely.

After giving Zhu Jiangci so many chances and saying so many good things, Zhu Jiangci just did not want to listen to him and still had to be stubborn. Maybe... It was their family that was destined to let down the Su family!
