Chapter 489: His Decision

Three days later.

The wind was blowing hard outside, and bean-sized raindrops hit the window, making pitter-patter sounds.

Ye Qingyu only fell asleep very late last night. When she woke up in the morning, she stood by the window and watched the rain for a while before she snuggled back into the blanket and fell asleep again.

When she woke up again, it was already noon.

It was rare that the servants did not knock on the door to ask her to eat today. After she went to the bathroom to wash up, Ye Qingyu wore a loose and soft T-shirt and walked towards the living room.

Ye Qingyu took a glance at the kitchen as the fragrance of the dishes wafted into her nose.

The tall and handsome man was wearing a simple and elegant white shirt as he busied himself in front of the counter. His sleeves were rolled up a few times, revealing his strong and sturdy arms. He held a wok in one hand and a spatula in the other, cooking the dishes skillfully and smoothly.

Ye Qingyu smelled the smell of braised pork ribs.

Ever since he learned that she liked braised pork ribs, he had cooked them for her several times.

Ye Qingyu looked at the man’s back and thought that she was hallucinating.

She closed her eyes and looked into the kitchen again. Seeing that he was still standing there, she realized in shock that he was really here!

Ye Qingyu turned around and was about to leave.

Lying back on the bed, Ye Qingyu’s small hand caressed her bulging abdomen. She could only calm herself down by constantly comforting herself in her heart.

If what he said was true, she knew that he should hate her!

But the child in her stomach was innocent!

How could he be so cold and treat his own child as a tool to save others?

Tears rolled down uncontrollably from the corners of her eyes.

The door was pushed open from the outside, and the man’s steady footsteps could be heard.

Li Yanchen walked in.

“Qingyu, I made your favorite dishes. Get up and eat.”

Ye Qingyu did not want to argue with him anymore, nor did she want to get hysterical.

Her greatest strength was that she knew what she wanted.

Now that she understood that Li Yanchen was only taking revenge and using her, it was impossible for her to still have any illusions about him.

Women are weak, but they are strong!

Ye Qingyu’s thoughts were all on the child now. She knew that she could not let her emotions fluctuate too much, or it would have a bad effect on the child.

For the past three days, she tried her best to maintain a calm state of mind. She ate when she should eat and drank nutritious soup when she should.

If she couldn’t leave Cheng Garden, she wouldn’t leave for the time being.

There was no need to turn herself into a resentful wife!

Ye Qingyu raised her long eyelashes and glanced at Li Yanchen. He took off his glasses, and his phoenix eyes looked even more slender and deep. He looked at her handsome face with a calm expression, and no emotions could be seen from his heart.

Ye Qingyu nodded.” Go out first. I’ll change my clothes.””

Li Yanchen left very quickly.

Ye Qingyu changed into a maternity dress and tidied her long hair, making herself look neat and tidy.

Li Yanchen was already seated in the dining room. He had prepared three dishes and a soup. When he saw Ye Qingyu coming over, he stood up and pulled out a chair for her like a gentleman.

Everything seemed to have returned to three days ago when she still did not know anything.

However, Ye Qingyu knew that she and Li Yanchen could never return to the past.

Li Yanchen scooped some soup for Ye Qingyu and picked up some pork ribs, looking very affectionate.

Ye Qingyu’s face revealed a hint of mockery.” You’ve already shed all pretense of cordiality, you don’t have to do this anymore!””

Li Yanchen pursed his thin lips slightly.” Let’s eat!”

Based on Ye Qingyu’s understanding of Li Yanchen, she could vaguely guess that he had come back to look for her.

Ye Qingyu didn’t take the initiative to ask and ate slowly.

Li Yanchen’s gaze would occasionally fall on her.

She had long, seaweed-like hair, a beautiful face, small, pointed, and long eyelashes that looked like butterfly wings. Under her beautiful nose, her lips were naturally pink.

She was calmer and stronger than he had imagined. If it were any other woman, she might have been hysterical and wished she was dead.

Ye Qingyu ate a lot, but she was full.

She picked up a tissue and wiped her lips.

She raised her long eyelashes and looked at the man’s handsome face.” Tell me, why did you come back to look for me?”

Li Yanchen stared at Ye Qingyu for a few seconds before looking at her protruding abdomen.” I’ve asked the doctor. A 37-week baby can be delivered by C-section.”

His usually elegant and indifferent voice sounded a little hoarse and astringent.

Ye Qingyu’s mind went blank for a moment.

Her hands, which were placed on the dining table, suddenly clenched into fists. She glared at Li Yanchen with a frown.”What are you talking about?”

What her father owed her, what he owed Uncle Lan and Auntie Lan, she had to admit it.

Chu Xin had schemed to get close to her, take revenge on her, and make her fall for him. She had accepted it.

He wanted the child’s umbilical cord blood. She would give it to him after the child was successfully born.

But what did he just say?

A 37-week C-section?

For a normal pregnant woman, a 37-week baby was indeed full term and could be caesarian.

However, the child in her stomach was one or two weeks younger than a normal child.

She had always wanted the child to have a natural birth so that he could absorb sufficient nutrients and give birth naturally.

But now, he wanted her to perform a C-section in advance.

In other words, the child would be forced to come out before the month was up.

He wanted his own flesh and blood to risk their lives to save another child.

How cruel was that?

Ye Qingyu could tolerate everything. His deception, his use, his revenge, but she could not tolerate him taking risks with her child!

Ye Qingyu’s beautiful eyes gradually turned red. Her heart ached as she looked at the man’s tense and cold handsome face.

Unparalleled strangeness, incomparable hatred!

The suffocating feeling in her chest was like a tidal wave that wanted to drown her.

“Li Yanchen, you know that it’s risky for the child to come out early, but you still want to be stubborn?”

Li Yanchen’s long eyebrows furrowed. He looked at Ye Qingyu, whose eyes were filled with anger, disappointment, and pain. He raised his hand and pressed between his eyebrows.” Lingling can’t wait for you to give birth naturally. The doctor said that we have to save her with the cord blood within a week!”

Ye Qingyu did not speak anymore. The atmosphere in the dining room suddenly became stiff and cold.

Ye Qingyu felt as if her heart had been pierced by thousands of needles again.

Perhaps the child in her stomach felt her grief and indignation, and the feeling of fetal movement became stronger.

Ye Qingyu placed her hands on her abdomen. She met Li Yanchen’s deep phoenix eyes and said in a hoarse and firm voice,” Li Yanchen, I can pay with my life, but don’t you dare hurt my child!”

“I won’t let him come out early until he’s full term!”

Li Yanchen’s eyes revealed a hint of fatigue. He said to Ye Qingyu in a deep and hoarse voice,” Medical technology is advanced now…”

Ye Qingyu saw that he had no room for negotiation. She could no longer control her emotions and interrupted him angrily,” Li Yanchen, I won’t let you hurt my child. If you have the ability, kill me first!””
