Qiao Yanzeâs eyes turned dimmer, and his voice became hoarse. âWhat do you mean?â
âWhat I mean is, Iâve never taken⦠those drugs that you think I have.â Li Yinian smiled sarcastically. âBecause thereâs no need to.â
Qiao Yanze immediately came back to reality.
He swallowed hard and said, âLi Yinian, what are you implying?â
âQiao Yanze, I canât have children.â She held his face and smiled. âIâm afraid you canât give me children.â
âImpossible!â The man yelled, looking shocked and in huge disbelief.
âOr you should go to the hospital for a checkup.â The womanâs voice was cold and self-deprecating. She put her hand on the manâs well-defined belly. âYou havenât gotten me pregnant in three years. Since you donât think itâs my problem, itâs yours.â
Qiao Yanze breathed heavily and didnât say anything for a long time. Their bodies, which were originally pressed together, separated.
He suddenly felt his heart shatter upon hearing this news, but he didnât know whether to feel sorry for her or be angry at her for hiding it.
âIs that why you left me?â He sneered.
Li Yinian moved her lips and said hoarsely, âKind of.â
âLi Yinian!â Qiao Yanze clenched his fist and said. âHave you asked me? Have you discussed it with me? Why did you make the decision for me?â
Li Yinian was dazed. She asked, âDonât you care?â
âI do.â His Adamâs apple bobbed. âBut if being with you means I can never have my own child, then Iâll admit it.â
Li Yinianâs eyes turned red. She took deep breaths, trying to suppress her fragile emotions.
How could she let him know that she was infertile? It had never been because they couldnât be together, but⦠in the endâ¦
At that moment, she suddenly recalled the coldness and despair when the medical instrument was inserted into her body. She suddenly shivered and her voice trembled.
âQiao Yanze.â Her voice was hoarse. âThatâs not the most fundamental reason. Itâs because I donât love you.â
âShut up,â the man interrupted her. âLi Yinian, listen. I donât care. What you mind is never a problem to me.â
It didnât matter whether it was because she couldnât get pregnant or because his family couldnât accept her. As long as she agreed, he would think of a way to resolve it. At most, he would give up everything now. At least he was confident that his value and ability wouldnât disappear because he left the identity of Fourth Young Master Qiao.
However, she didnât trust him, and she had never given him a chance.
âBut I mind.â Li Yinian took a deep breath. âQiao Yanze, if you didnât love me so much, I might still be able to be with you, but the more you care about me, the more I canât agree to you. Your efforts and your sacrifice are a burden to me. Iâm a selfish woman. I donât want to bear all of this.â
âSoâ¦â He sneered and pinched her chin. âYou just let me sleep with you for three years? Whatâs this? An act of kindness to me?â
