Chapter 655: Chapter 438: Everyone Has Friends_2
So, the only option was to distance herself from the land of conflict, out of sight, out of mind, and keep her ears shut to maintain her inner peace.
Her grandfather had suggested sending her to a city where no one knew her. She refused because having experienced the vibrant life overseas, she had no interest in living a wretched life in a strange place; this was the fundantal reason why she insisted on going abroad.
Since the life she wanted to lead decently was no longer possible, why couldn’t she live the colorful life she desired? Her previous desire to return stemd from her feelings for Zhou Mikang, her hope to win him back, but now she realized, no matter how hard she tried, it was impossible for him to be with her.
However, no matter what, the fact that Rao Ying would discuss such matters with her at least showed that she truly considered her a friend. At this age, she could still tell this much, and she felt an unconscious twinge of guilt for her previous attitude towards Rao Ying, so she straightened up and said, “Little Ying, thank you, I know you an well, thank you.”
Rao Ying’s lips curved into a bitter smile, “We’re best friends. Frank advice grates upon the ear. If I don’t tell you, who else will?”
“Yes, but what I don’t understand is, if he was truly obsessed with , why would he do that? He only got his face ruined, not his mind. He couldn’t be unaware that his actions would push into the abyss.”
After a mont of thought, Rao Ying said, “He loved you so deeply that when he realized, no matter what he did, you wouldn’t reciprocate even the slightest affection, he just went to extres without thinking it through.”
“I actually think he loved his sister even more,” said Ye iru with a sardonic smile. “If it hadn’t been for his sister ddling, maybe he wouldn’t have reached that point.”
“You’re talking about Huang Suai?” Rao Ying’s expression turned serious, “iru, you can offend anyone but not Huang Suai. Before you can ensure your departure from the country, don’t conflict with her again.”
“I understand who can and cannot be provoked,” Ye iru said, a trace of a smile on her lips. “You reminded , it’s not bad to divert the trouble elsewhere.”
“You’re thinking?”
“Yes, since my efforts are in vain anyway, let him worry about it himself. Isn’t he supposed to love his wife? Well, I’ll help him confirm just how much he loves his wife.”
“Huang Suai is not so easy to fool.”
“Whether she is fooled or not is one thing; whether I act or not is another. Little Ying, thank you, my mood is much better now, really,” Ye iru patted Rao Ying on the shoulder, “This is also indirectly helping you.”
Rao Ying looked at her apologetically, “I didn’t consider everything thoroughly. If I had known the relationship between you and Zhou Mikang had turned out this way, I wouldn’t have put you on the spot. But iru, whatever you do, the most important thing is to make a better life for yourself and not to put yourself in a more passive situation.”
“I know…” Ye iru suddenly covered her mouth, her brows furrowing.
“What’s wrong?” Rao Ying looked at her with concern.
“Feeling a bit nauseous…” Ye iru said, her face suddenly turning solemn, “Little Ying, I think I might be pregnant.”
“Preg… pregnant?” Rao Ying jumped up in shock, “With… with Huang Xinlong’s child?”
“Whose else could it be?” Ye iru’s brows were tightly knit, “The timing… couldn’t possibly be worse.”
“Do you want to keep it or…?”
“I don’t know.” Ye iru shook her head, “I broke up with Louis because after two years together, I couldn’t get pregnant. The doctor said my chances were very low. I was with Huang Xinlong only three tis, each ti asking for a favor, and now I hit the jackpot. Isn’t it ironic?”
Rao Ying then said, “Better check again, maybe it’s not.”
“My period is ten days late, and I have no history of feeling nauseous without a reason. What do you think, is there another possibility?”
Rao Ying fell silent, not knowing what to say.
“If I were soone who got pregnant easily, I wouldn’t even consider this child. But now…” Ye iru looked out the window, “I am conflicted. I’m afraid if I don’t have this child, I might never have another chance to be a mother.”
“What would you do if you were in my shoes?”
“?” Rao Ying shook her head, “Such a hypothetical scenario is hard to judge because I’m not you. We have different personalities, so what satisfies may not satisfy you.”
“Let’s hear it.”
“If it were , I would keep it,” Rao Ying said seriously, looking at her. “Having the baby is legitimate, nobody will laugh at you. If you don’t have the baby, and then if you can never be a mother again, it will be a lifelong regret that you can’t make up for.”
“A man is replaceable, but a child is your only one. He is a piece of you, your blood flows through him, and he will only ever have one biological mother.”
“If he is born, he’ll have to face a lot of criticism with ,” Ye iru said with a bitter smile. “You know my reputation. Being my child ans bearing the burden with . But would he want that?”
After hesitating, Rao Ying said, “You should listen to your elders’ opinions. If you really want to keep it, you can’t manage without their help. As for the rest, I suggest you make other plans.”
“Alright, I’ll tell my grandparents and parents right away and see what they think,” Ye iru sighed. “To others, we might all be bad won. But aren’t we just fighting for what rightfully belongs to us? Is that so wrong?” (To be continued. If you like this work, you’re welco to vote for it at Qidian (qidian), with recomndation tickets or monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.
