After rebirth, she first killed the book thief, and she was busy writing articles to save people

Jiang Baige felt a little embarrassed and lowered her voice - she was afraid that Jingchai would feel offended.

"If not, I'm sorry..."

"of course not!"

Huh? Jiang Baige raised her head and opened her eyes wide.

But after a brief surprise, Jingchai burst into laughter and almost fell forward and backward.

"He has no sperm." Jingchai wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, "So there is no way I can get pregnant."

what?

Jiang Baige was even more surprised.

But it shouldn’t be like this…

Whether it is the "child" mentioned by Jingchai in the previous life, or Chen Xi, the living child, it is enough to prove Chen Dongguo's "ability", unless...

"Could it be... Chen Xi..."

Jiang Baige made a bold guess.

And Jingchai's nod confirmed this guess: "Xiaoxi is not Chen Dongguo's daughter... Are you surprised? When I first knew about it, I was also shocked."

"Then Xiaoxi..."

"Of course she doesn't know." Jingchai snorted coldly, "If she knew that Chen Dongguo was not her biological father at all, why would she keep trying to maintain the illusion of her broken family..."

It turns out that Jingchai thought so too.

"But...even if he's not her biological father, didn't Xiaoxi say it herself? Her mother was busy with work, so Chen Dongguo took care of her more when she was a child."

"Heh." Jingchai rolled her eyes this time. "What can he take care of? A person who can't even cook a meal... Xiaoxi has always grown up in my family, but Xiaoxi has a filter for him..."

Having said this, Jingchai's voice weakened again, perhaps he was thinking of his past self. After being disenchanted by those so-called talents, all he saw was a rotten body and a wretched soul.

"But if even Xiaoxi doesn't know...then how do you know all this?"

"Chen Dongguo said it himself." Jingchai looked up at Jiang Baige, who had her mouth wide open. He seemed not surprised at all by her surprise again. "Didn't expect it? When he told me that, I thought he was drunk and talking nonsense."

It was true that he was drunk, but what he said was also true.

Moreover, he said it with a very proud look.

At that time, he had been married to Chen Xi's mother Wan Baoling for some time, but his writing had never made any progress. Wan Baoling was already the head of the troupe at a young age, and the two had almost no common topics.

One day, Wan Baoling suddenly told him that she wanted to divorce him.

After his further questioning, he found out that Wan Baoling was pregnant.

Chen Dongguo suffers from azoospermia, which was the result of a check-up after the couple got married and tried to conceive but found that they could not have children.

"I used to think that it would be OK if I didn't have a child so I could focus on my career. But now that the child has come into this world, I want to give her a complete family."

Although she did not reveal the name of the child's father out of respectability, her firm attitude showed that Chen Dongguo no longer had a chance.

"That's when I realized I couldn't live without her... because I had been frustrated in finding a job and didn't have a stable income, and she was the one supporting the family."

When Chen Dongguo said this to Jingchai, he did not have the uneasiness of a gigolo. Instead, he had a look of pride that came from enduring humiliation, as if he was still devoting himself to art by being a gigolo.

He was even more proud of what was to come.

Just as he was anxiously waiting for the death knell of losing his parents, another real death knell rang:

The flight that Wan Baoling's lover, Chen Xi's father was taking back to China crashed and he completely disappeared over the Atlantic Ocean.

Chen Dongguo hurriedly seized this opportunity to show his courtesy to Wan Baoling, saying that he didn't care whether the child was his or not, as long as she stayed with him, that was enough.

Wan Baoling, who was at a loss at the time, was persuaded.

In that era, if given a choice, no one wanted to be a single mother and be criticized, and the same was true for Wan Baoling.

But she also knew very well that she no longer loved Chen Dongguo.

So after giving birth to Chen Xi and recuperating, she threw herself into her work and quickly returned to her position as chief executive.

The daughter was naturally left to be raised by Chen Dongguo.

But of course Chen Dongguo couldn't care less about Chen Xi. Fortunately, Chen Xi looked more like her mother, which slightly reduced the faint green color on Chen Dongguo's head that he saw every time he saw her.

Perhaps because of her "guilt" towards Chen Dongguo, Wan Baoling chose to turn a blind eye to Chen Dongguo's many dirty behaviors after he became famous, and simply participated in performances more frequently. Even after she retired to the second line, she was still active behind the scenes and in teaching, and was unwilling to "return to her family."

Although they each had their own concerns, they continued their marriage, which was in name only and even became a model family in the eyes of others.

At this point, Jingchai finally understood why Chen Xi, who was raised in such a "model family", always had a vague worry about being "abandoned".

She couldn't catch her mother who was performing everywhere, so she had to hold on to her father tightly.

After Jingchai finished speaking, he was still immersed in his emotions, unable to extricate himself, while Jiang Baige's brain was spinning rapidly -

Since Chen Dongguo said himself that he had azoospermia and Chen Xi was not his daughter, then the "child" that Jingchai mentioned when he was about to fight to the death with him in the previous life must have referred to something else.

What would that be?

Jiang Baige quickly thought of a possibility - out of her instinct as a creator, and she remembered that Jingchai had also used this word before in the villa.

"That may be my misunderstanding." Jiang Baige smiled apologetically, "I thought you couldn't break up with him because of the child..."

"How is that possible? If I was really pregnant, I would have aborted the baby." At this moment, Jingchai's expression suddenly dimmed. "So what you want to know is why I still haven't left him, right?"

Jiang Baige nodded.

Jingchai sighed, drank another cup of tea, and then said, "If I tell you this, you might look down on me... This is all just because... my novel is almost finished..."

"Is it the novel you quarreled about?"

"Yeah." Jingchai's fingers unconsciously stroked the edge of the cup. "This is a novella... Although it can't exchange for my freedom, he said that if I can finish it, he will help me recommend it for publication."

Jingchai's expression suddenly became a little distorted, and it was almost impossible to tell whether she was crying or laughing.

"I know my behavior is despicable, but I have already surrendered to him. Why can't I seek more benefits? Can I only allow him to violate my happiness and freedom, and not allow me to do something for my children..."

"Your novel is your 'child'...right?"

"Of course, isn't that what you think?"

Jiang Baige guessed right, but her brows did not relax.

Because she knew that Jingchai would eventually lose this "child", and this would directly lead to Chen Xi's tragedy...
