Don't meet me in your next life.

"Don't you feel tired from torturing yourself like this?"

Upon hearing this, Xiang Yi suddenly raised her head and stared blankly at Ji Shengting.

Is he concerned about her?

A complex expression flashed in Ji Shengting's eyes.

He pursed his lips and remained silent.

Xiang Yi suddenly felt a dryness in her throat. She opened her mouth, wanting to ask about her child, but realized that she had no right to speak.

At this moment, a nurse pushed open the door and saw Xiang Yi crying with tears streaming down her face. She was startled and quickly ran out to find Ji Shengting.

She reported the situation to Ji Shengting, who only said one word:

"check."

Xiang Yiyi's heart skipped a beat.

What does he mean?

Does he... not want this child anymore?

Xiang Yi's head exploded with a buzzing sound, and her heart felt as if it had been slashed by a sharp blade.

"Miss, Miss, what's wrong?"

The nurse looked at her, somewhat frightened, and quickly helped her up.

Xiang Yiyi's body trembled slightly.

As she looked at Ji Shengting, a sense of desolation gradually spread throughout her body.

She had always wanted a child, but what about him?

Ji Shengting looked at her, a painful struggle flashing in his eyes.

He also longed for a child that belonged to both him and her, but he couldn't have one!

"Miss, don't worry, I'll call a doctor for you right away."

After the nurse finished speaking, she quickly left the ward and ran towards the nurses' station.

She dialed the doctor's cell phone number.

Xiang Yi saw that Ji Shengting had also walked to the window.

Why didn't you tell me the child was mine?

His voice was somewhat hoarse.

"You said you would acknowledge this child?"

Xiang Yi retorted with a cold laugh.

She's not stupid; she knows very well.

If Ji Shengting really likes children, why wouldn't he want one?

However, he would rather choose not to have the child than admit that it was his.

Ji Shengting frowned.

“If you hadn’t told me, I would never have known this was my child. I also wouldn’t have been able to accept his existence.”

Xiang Yi looked at him with a cold smile.

He put it so nicely, but if they don't accept his existence, then why does he keep it?

"So, this is our child!"

She said, biting her lip.

Ji Shengting's gaze darkened. "But you're still sick. Don't be foolish anymore. We'll talk about the child later!"

He turned and left after he finished speaking.

Xiang Yi looked at his retreating figure and felt only irony.

How could she have ever believed that Ji Shengting would fall in love with her?

But he has done it.

Xiang Yi lay down on the bed, closed her eyes, and felt a heartache so intense she could hardly breathe.

Xiang Yi didn't sleep well that night.

She kept her eyes open until dawn, but her eyelids remained heavy, and she couldn't muster any energy.

She got up from her bed, took a shower, and changed into a light blue long cotton dress.

These are the clothes Ji Shengting gave her yesterday; they fit her perfectly.

However, the color of this dress is too plain, and it's a solid-color skirt.

Xiang Yi looked at herself in the mirror.

Although her face was pale, her eyes were still very beautiful.

Her eyes were large, almond-shaped, and watery; they were very captivating.

However, she was in a terrible mood at the moment, and her eyes looked unfocused, lifeless and empty.

She picked up her makeup bag and started touching up her makeup while looking in the mirror.

However, the more she tried to apply it, the worse it got, and in the end, she simply smeared foundation all over her eyelids, making her whole face look messy.

Xiang Yi looked at her ugly reflection in the mirror and couldn't help but give a bitter smile.

She's really gone too far.

She needs to pull herself together!

Xiang Yi encouraged herself before deciding to leave.

However, as soon as she stepped out of the ward, she saw Ji Shengting.

He was leaning against the wall, smoking, his posture elegant and charming.

Xiang Yi didn't know whether she should go up to them or pretend she didn't see them.

Ji Shengting saw her too, but didn't come up to greet her.

Xiang Yi had no choice but to bite the bullet and step forward to greet him.

"You're awake."

Ji Shengting exhaled a smoke ring, his gaze indifferent and aloof. "Hmm."

"Then... what about the child?"

Xiang Yiyi finally couldn't help but ask.

She genuinely liked the child.

She wanted to give birth to him and let him grow up healthy.

He would probably be very happy if he knew he had a younger brother or sister, right?

Upon hearing the word "child," Ji Shengting's eyes narrowed slightly.

His gaze fell on Xiang Yi's flat stomach, a dark glint flashing in his eyes.

He remained silent for a long time before slowly saying, "If you want it, then take it. Fallen."

Xiang Yi was stunned.

She didn't expect Ji Shengting to agree so readily.

Her eyes suddenly reddened, and tears almost fell.

She choked back tears and said, "You don't hate me? You don't blame me?"

Ji Shengting's expression changed. He looked into Xiang Yiyi's eyes, which were filled with regret and guilt.

"The child is innocent."

"But you can't deprive him of his happiness just because he's the only thing that binds us together!"

"I will try my best to make it up to you."

Ji Shengting looked at Xiang Yiyi, his tone firm.

Xiang Yi sniffed, forcing herself to calm down.

"I want to see the children."

"Okay, I'll go with you later."

Ji Shengting nodded.

Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.

Ji Shengting looked at Xiang Yiyi. Her eyes were very red, and her eyelashes were still covered with glistening water droplets, clearly indicating that she had just been crying.

"Yi Yi, are you alright?"

“Yeah, it’s okay.”

Xiang Yi forced a smile.

"You don't need to comfort me. I know I deserve to be like this."

She gave a self-deprecating laugh and continued, "Actually, I knew a long time ago that you would never marry me. Because you had another woman. But I just couldn't help it. I really love you, but I can't accept your love. So I wanted to test whether you would really love me. But when I saw you in bed with another woman, I was so sad and heartbroken."

Ji Shengting frowned. "Yi Yi, nothing happened between Lin Yuqing and me. I only had relations with her to save her."

"You're lying to me."

Xiang Yi shook her head.

"That night you were drunk and mistook me for her, but your kiss was very gentle and tender."

Xiang Yi's eyes were somewhat dazed.

Ji Shengting's gaze darkened.

"Who taught you to drink? Are you out of your mind?"

"I didn't want you to hate me, nor did I want you to think I was dirty, so I secretly went to bars to drink."

"you......"

Ji Shengting's eyes were filled with rage.

Xiang Yi took a deep breath. "If it weren't for your words 'Don't go,' maybe I wouldn't have been drinking, and I wouldn't have gotten drunk. But I didn't want you to misunderstand me, so I secretly went to drink, and that's how I ran into you."

"Do you know how dangerous this is?"

"I don't care, as long as I can keep you."

"You're crazy!"

Xiang Yi bit her lip, trying not to cry, but her shoulders trembled uncontrollably.

She knew she was cowardly.

She could never remain calm and rational in his presence.

After Xiang Yi finished speaking, she turned and left.

Ji Shengting's eyes darkened.
