Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ji Weixi knew that there was only a tiny chance of pregnancy in the future with one fallopian tube left, but that was still better than having no chance at all.

She remembered then how hopeless it had been for her in the hospital four years ago, alone and unable to face the harsh truth.

She was definitely unwilling the bear the child of someone she didn’t even know.

But she would never bear a child again if she got an abortion.

She had despaired at first, hating everything and every person in the world.

Still, she understood in the end.

That man had done no more than provide a seed, and she was giving birth for herself—not for him, and so that she wouldn’t be childless in her old age.

That was why she chose to give birth.

She wouldn’t have hesitated getting an abortion if her body wasn’t special.

However, after her child was born, Ji Weixi thought everything was worth it, and that her son was hers and hers alone, and nothing to do with that man.

***

Jian Jie’s face was as white as a sheet when she was wheeled out, her eyes tightly shut and unconscious while being fed an IV drip.

As Ji Weixi sat in her ward, she looked at Jian Jie in her sickbed and remembered herself all those years before.

“What is it? Are you feeling unwell?” Li Shaoling was a little worried at the sight of her distressed look.

Ji Weixi turned to look at him, and suddenly showed a pained smile. “Didn’t you say you wanted a daughter?”

Li Shaoling looked delighted. “Are you saying yes?”

Be that as it may, Ji Weixi’s voice abruptly turned cold. “There reason I gave birth was because I would have trouble getting pregnant if I had an abortion. That’s why I did it...”

Pausing, she continued despite his slowly-alarmed gaze. “But after I gave birth, I had to work without any post-natal care. I even fainted and was admitted to the hospital, and the doctor told me that my uterus walls had become too thin and I would never become pregnant again.”

Her voice was so flat it was as if she was talking about someone else.

On the other hand, Li Shaoling’s face became stony. He felt as if he was stabbed in the heart even as he watched her, his breath caught.

Ji Weixi returned his gaze, but her heart was overwhelming in sadness.

He must be upset that she couldn’t give him a daughter.

And that he must be upset for that fact alone, and not for her.

A deathly quiet hence shrouded the ward. It was as if his silence had become a weapon that stabbed into her most vulnerable spot.

Unable to remain there, Ji Weixi stood up and was about to leave when she was caught firmly.

Then, she was folded in a warm embrace.

Even as Li Shaoling held her tightly, he only blamed himself.

“It’s my fault. I’m sorry...” His voice was fraught with hoarseness and pain.

He could not help wanting to kill himself in penance once he imagined how she toiled overseas, licking her own wounds.

Post-natal confined care was vital for women, and yet she had to make a living to raise her child.

Whereas he had forgotten about her in those four years.

In fact, he did not remember a thing at all!

Ji Weixi’s eyes widened, clouded with tears.

Li Shaoling freed her then, and stroked her face with his fingertips and grinned. “So what if you can’t bear a child? The one I want is you.”

“We already have a son. It’s alright if we don’t have a daughter.”

Ji Weixi was actually stunned that he was not disappointed with her condition. “...But I can’t give you any children.”

Li Shaoling tenderly tapped on her forehead. “Silly. I told you you’re the most important in this world. So what if we don’t have any children? It’s fine as long as I have you. I’ll spoil you like a daughter and give you anything you want.”

Ji Weixi’s mouth twitched. “...I don’t want you to be my daddy.”

“Then I’ll just have you be my daughter.”

“...”

Wasn’t that the same thing?

Annoyed, Ji Weixi blabbered. “Fine, you’ll be my daddy and not my husband!”

Li Shaoling happily pulled her. “What did you just say?”

“...You’re deaf. You heard nothing.”

Pulling her into his arms, he sweetly coaxed her. “Good girl. Call me husband.”

Ji Weixi flushed and shoved him with all her might. “Stop fooling around. This is the hospital.”

“What are you’re afraid of? You’re mine, it’s out in the open.”

And not some illicit affair.

But in the midst of their flirting, a mobile phone suddenly started ringing—Ji Weixi looked around and found it in Jian Jie’s pocket.

Lin Kai was the caller, and she answered it.

“Xiao Jie, where are you?” He sounded anxious. “Can you meet me now?”

“She’s in the hospital.” Ji Weixi coolly replied.

Lin Kai was clearly stunned for a moment. “Is she having an abortion?”

Wonderful, he thought as he breathed a sigh of relief.

“No.” Ji Weixi sneered. “She had eccyesis and almost died. Come right now if you have a conscience!”

She hung up immediately without allowing Lin Kai any chance to speak, and look up to find a mild look from Li Shaoling.

She was a little embarrassed from his stare. “What are you looking at?”

Was there something on her face?

Li Shaoling stroked her hair and exclaimed. “My Weixi is so beautiful.”

Especially so when she’s scolding men—exuding such charisma that others couldn’t take their eyes off her.

She never scolded him like that too. Yes, that was good.

Ji Weixi composedly smoothened her hair. “You flatter me.”

***

Lin Kai was quite uneasy when he arrived, as if someone was behind and chasing him.

He was panting heavily for a long time, while Li Shaoling whispered into Ji Weixi’s ear and boasted. “Just look. In the end, your man has more stamina.”

“...”

Forgive her for thinking too much!

“Xiao Jie!” Lin Kai rushed into the sickroom, but Jian Jie was still sedated.

He held his head, upset. “How... how could this be? Why would you have eccyesis!?”

“Xiao Jie, I’ve wronged you... but what can I say? You told me that sorry means nothing... you can’t blame me for getting pregnant too, because it’s consensual and you initiated too! I’m a man; I can’t control myself. I’m grateful you gave me so much money, but I’m with Fang now... and what I have is her money, I might not be able to repay you for life.”

He spoke as if he was innocent and pitiful.

“You’re a good girl, Xiao Jie, I would still choose you if we meet in the next life, it’s just fate is not our side. I know you can’t hear me... ah... take care of yourself. There’s no telling when I could see you again because Fang is quite strict with me, but relax, I will never tell her I came to see you.”

With that, Lin Kai stood up with a look of lost love. “Xiao Jie, I would never forget you. You shouldn’t forget me too, because you said you love me the most.”

As Lin Kai turned away, a teardrop fell off the corner of Jian Jie’s eye.

That was the first time Ji Weixi saw such astounding conceit, and became more annoyed the more she listened.

What new species of scumbag is this?

It’s extraterrestrial levels of scum!

So high-and-mightily disgusting!

Die, scumbag!
