"Sigh. "Let me say what's good for you." Pei Yaochen sighed, and hugged her tighter.
The two of them went silent. After a long while, Pei Yaochen finally reached out to turn off the light, and said tiredly: "It's getting late, let's go to sleep."
Because at this moment, deceiving meant that he had at least doted on her, right?
She bit down hard on her lip. The taste of blood slowly seeped into her mouth, and her eyes swelled painfully, but she was proud to keep the tears from rolling down.
She suddenly hated herself to the extreme. She only felt that she was so stupid, so pitiful, so petty, that she despised herself.
She clearly knew of his choice long ago, but she wasn't willing to accept it. She kept trying to change him …
She had made herself into a joke in his eyes, a huge joke!
Thinking of this, she really wanted to push him away and run away, disregarding everything else.
However, she did not move in the end.
She just turned her back to him, closed her eyes, and said quietly, "I see. "I'm tired. Sleep."
"Good night. A beautiful dream. Don't let your thoughts run wild. "Remember, you have me." Pei Yaochen whispered in her ear.
Xia Zhi did not speak anymore, because at this moment, she no longer had the strength to speak.
She needed time to heal her wounds …
Xia Zhi did not sleep at all that night, and only closed her eyes after the sun had risen.
Very quickly, she heard the sound of Pei Yaochen getting up and washing his face. She also clearly felt him tiptoeing to the bedside and looking down at her carefully.
She hated it, but she tried to keep her breathing calm and orderly.
At this moment, she was terrified of his touch.
Fortunately, he did not kiss her when she was asleep, as he had done so many days and nights before. He simply looked at her and let out a faint sigh before he left.
Xia Zhi slowly opened her eyes and stared blankly at the ceiling, while her hands aimlessly rubbed her stomach.
At first, the child did not move, but after a while, as if playing with her, she arched her belly up and down, making it bulge here and there, and then rise and fall again.
She could feel his joy and her heart ached. Tears rolled down her cheeks uncontrollably.
At this time, Han Jing and Yang Yazhu had just pushed the door open and entered the room. When they saw her staring blankly at the ceiling with tears rolling down his face non-stop, they looked at each other and understood everything.
Han Jing raised his brows, coldly laughed, and said in a low voice: "Looks like fate wants us to continue."
Yang Yazhu felt that his smile was extremely dazzling, she frowned and waved his hand, signalling him to leave.
Han Jing did not argue with her and turned to leave.
Yang Yazhu walked to Xia Zhi's side and stopped. She did not speak, but pulled out a tissue to gently wipe away Xia Zhi's tears.
Xia Zhi came back to reality and couldn't help but to turn her head and sit up. After taking the tissue she handed him, she wiped her tears and asked softly: "When did you come?"
"Just arrived." Yang Yazhu sighed, and then sat down beside her, "Seems like you did not get the answer you wanted."
Xia Zhi drooped her head and muttered, "Yes."
"He's gone too far! Xia Zhi, it's not worth it to sacrifice yourself for such a man! Let's go! I'll take you and disappear in front of him! Let him get nothing! " Yang Yazhu said in indignation.
Xia Zhi shook her head, "I don't want to go."
"Why?! Xia Zhi! Don't tell me you're still trying to sacrifice yourself for his child! It's not worth it! "
"I know. But I owe the child. I've been in this world for twenty-six years, and I've seen the wonders of it, and I'm tired of it. But he had never seen this world before! Yazhu, you don't know how excited he is everyday, I can feel how much he is looking forward to coming out from my stomach to see this world.
I owed him too much to kill his rights like this. You're right, he is not worth it for me, but this child is! " Xia Zhi said bitterly.
"But do you know? It's not fair to children! Have you ever thought about how he would live without a mother's love if you left him in this world? "
Yang Yazhu asked sharply, "Can you guarantee that a cold person like Pei Yaochen will treat this child well for the rest of his life? What if one day he finds another girl more like his lover than you? Would he be desperate to have children with that girl again? "Don't tell me that's impossible. The absurdity of this world is not something a normal person like me or you can estimate!"
"Indeed. The possibility you're talking about might exist. So, I want to ask you to not make enemies with Pei Yaochen because of me, because I hope that you can become the child's godmother. Help me keep an eye on Pei Yaochen. If one day, I really meet with the kind of situation you're talking about, I hope that you and Han Jing can think of a way to bring the child away from his side for you to take care of him. "
Xia Zhi pleaded with a pitiful face, "Yazhu, I know that this is also a burden for you, I shouldn't have forced it on you. But in this world, I only believe in you. So, no matter what, you have to help me! "
Yang Yazhu said angrily, "Xia Zhi! Don't even think about it! I will never agree to your foolish request! I won't allow you to sacrifice yourself! That's why I refused! "
"Yazhu..." Xia Zhi still wanted to beg, but the door was pushed open. Han Jing walked in and slowly said, "Xia Zhi, you don't have to ask for others' help. Because you have other options. "
Xia Zhi clenched her teeth, "No need to persuade me anymore! I will not consider other options. Fine! I'm not begging you! I only hope that the situation Yazhu mentioned earlier will not happen. If he doesn't meet other girls who are more like me, I'm sure he will be wholehearted in her love for his children. "Because after I die, he can only find the shadow of her former lover in the child."
"What if? There is no lack of such things in this world. " Yang Yazhu said with sorrow.
"If there really is a chance, then I will bet on our friendship. Yazhu, I have always trusted you. I believe that if something like that really did happen, you would definitely not watch as my child suffers! " Xia Zhi said with certainty.
"Don't even think about kidnapping me!" Yang Yazhu said bitterly.
"I kidnapped you out of friendship." Xia Zhi smiled and extended his hand out to her.
Yang Yazhu turned her head and did not look at her, but she stubbornly stretched out her hand and called out her name.
After a long time, Yang Yazhu could no longer bear it, she turned and held her hand, and said softly: "Xia Zhi, I hate you!"
"Yes." I know. I hate myself, too. But what to do? I am such a nuisance. It doesn't matter if you can take it or not! " Xia Zhi laughed as she choked back her sobs.
Yang Yazhu's heart ached, and she blurted out, "Xia Zhi, actually …"
Before he could finish, he was interrupted by Han Jing, "Actually, there is no need to be so pessimistic. After so many years on the operating table, I've seen many miracles. Maybe you and the baby can really make it together! Xia Zhi, don't be too pessimistic, you must definitely focus your mind and face everything. You must believe that fate will bless you and your child! "
Xia Zhi nodded, "You're right! I won't admit defeat until the very last moment! "
"I hope you remember your current determination. Do not let us down!" Han Jing patted her shoulder, and laughed gently, "Alright, stop being sad, living a good life is the most important right now. Hurry up and go to the bathroom to wash up. "After you're done, come out and have breakfast with us!"
"Alright!" Xia Zhi replied, she wiped away the tears on her face and got off the bed to enter the bathroom.
Yang Yazhu angrily lowered her voice and asked Han Jing, "What did you stop me from doing? As matters stood, she had already seen Pei Yaochen's true face. Was there still a need to hide the truth? Shouldn't we advise her to leave immediately? She and the child had disappeared without a trace. Wasn't this the punishment for Pei Yaochen? Han Jing, what else do you want? "
Han Jing frowned, "Right now, I can indeed put an end to this. As long as we bring Xia Zhi away, Pei Yaochen might indeed become depressed, but have you thought about it? After hearing the truth, when Xia Zhi discovers that she still has a lifetime worth of time to waste with Pei Yaochen, will she hope for Pei Yaochen again? And thinking about how to use time to make him fall in love with herself? Don't deny that the possibility doesn't exist.
You women are always sentimental. Otherwise, you wouldn't still be by my side. In your eyes, I am the embodiment of evil, and you are still willing to give me a chance. For her, aside from love, Pei Yaochen also saved her life. I bet if she knew that her people still had time, she would have stayed by Pei Yaochen's side without even thinking! "
Hearing this, Yang Yazhu laughed in sorrow, "Yes. Your analysis makes a lot of sense. You're right. I just want to ask you, when will it really end? "
"Make Xia Zhi completely despair, and completely give up on him, then she will have the chance to be reborn. Only then will we truly be able to help her. "
"So it can't end now?" What about the hatred between you and Pei Yaochen? And when will that be the end of it? " Yang Yazhu asked sarcastically.
