When Lin Feiâer heard Su Wan asking for her view, she gave a feeble sigh. She looked down, about to speak but said nothing.
Lin Feiâer kept silent for several moments and instead of answering, she asked Su Wan for her opinion.
âWan, if you were me, what would you do?â
Upon hearing this, indignation appeared between her beautiful brows and as if without thinking, she gave her answer.
âOf course I would get a divorce. I canât get myself to raise the scumbag and the b*tchâs child!â
Lin Feiâer was amused by Su Wanâs look of indignation. She knew her best friendâs personality. Although she looked like a person who was easy to talk to on the surface, when it came to a matter of principles, there was no room for discussion.
Hence, when Gu Zihang had turned his back on her and gone with Su Yurou, she chose to leave it behind without having any intention to save the relationship.
From this perspective, Su Wan was more courageous than she was.
As Lin Feiâer thought about this, she gave a bitter smile.
Su Wan felt a burst of bitterness in her heart when she saw Lin Feiâerâs sad look following her bitter smile.
Lin Feiâer looked faintly at Su Wan. She was not as firm as Su Wan. Hence, from the moment she had awoken, she had not made her decision and dared not see Li Peng.
âWan, what if I plead to Li Peng to ask Yang Xiaobing to abort her child and we adopt one instead? If he agrees, do you think he and I could continue our lives together as husband and wife?â
Lin Feiâerâs slightly husky voice entered her ear. Su Wanâs heart skipped a beat and understood that Lin Feiâer still loved Li Peng, and that it was why she created this self-deceptive hypothesis.
Su Wan took in a deep breath and felt Lin Feiâer truly loved Li Peng and her love for him had reached such a humble state.
âLetâs put aside Li Pengâs agreement. Even if there isnât Yang Xiaobing, can you guarantee Li Peng would not mess with other women in the future?â
Even though a broken porcelain could be repaired, in the eyes of the owner, he would still remember the cracks of the past.
âI...â
Lin Feiâer gaped and she had mixed feelings.
Su Wan waved her hand, signaling to her not to talk. When she saw Lin Feiâer falling into a silence and after a long hesitation, Su Wan made up her mind to tell Feiâer what Li Pengâs mother had said.
âLetâs assume Li Peng gives up his evil deeds and walks a path of virtue. Can you guarantee that you can both withstand his motherâs pressure? Do you know what his mother said? She said, whatâs the use of a woman who canât bear a child?â
Hearing Su Wanâs continuous questions, Lin Feiâer was short of breath.
Lin Feiâerâs eyes became red and her body started trembling, especially when she heard that sentence: âWhat is the use of a woman who canât bear a child?â
Thatâs right, how could she have forgotten that her mother-in-law had started nagging that the Li family had been having only one son for each of the three generations and that she had to give birth to a son for Li Peng.
To a considerable extent, marrying a man meant marrying his family. Now that Li Pengâs mother insisted on having a grandson, she would definitely not like her...
Seeing a baffling sorrow emitting from Lin Feiâerâs eyes, Su Wan panicked all of a sudden. She quickly held Lin Feiâerâs hands, trying to give her some strength.
âDonât believe in Li Pengâs motherâs nonsense. Why should a personâs value be defined by whether or not she can bear a child? Life is full of beautiful things and it wonât become dull just because one has no children.â
Su Wan held Lin Feiâerâs hand tightly and quickly added, âIf you really like children, you could adopt one in the future. Moreover, I have said that you will be my childrenâs godmother! To me, itâd be better to be single than to live with a scumbag and live a life of mutual dislike.â
Lin Feiâer knew Su Wan was thinking for her sake. She smiled as she nodded. Several hours after she regained her consciousness, she felt her mind was the clearest when she was with Su Wan.
âWan, please ask Li Peng to come in.â
Su Wan was stunned. Feiâer wanted her to ask Li Peng to come in?
Glancing at Lin Feiâerâs complicated dark eyes, Su Wan didnât know how much of her words Lin Feiâer had taken in.
She knew Lin Feiâer loved Li Peng very much but no matter what, Su Wan didnât want Lin Feiâer to stay in this fire pit.
âFeiâer, I...â
Lin Feiâer shook her head gently as she understood that Su Wan wanted to continue persuading her.
âI just want to make it clear to him. Please ask him to come in.â
Looking at the stubborn Lin Feiâer, Su Wan knew she was unable to dissuade her. So, she walked helplessly toward the door.
âFeiâer wants to see you.â
Su Wan shot Li Peng a cold glance and threw him a sentence. Then, she turned and returned to the ward.
âSu Wan, howâs Feiâer feeling now? She...â
When Li Peng heard Su Wan say that Lin Feiâer finally wanted to see him, he was overjoyed. He wanted to ask Su Wan about Feiâerâs current conditions but when he saw Su Wanâs cold and indifferent look, he kept quiet immediately.
Yang Xiaobing saw Li Peng tidying his hair and smoothing down the creases of his collar, obviously trying to look his best, and her heart sank.
Yang Xiaobing bit her lips. A sense of guilt and worry appeared in her watery eyes. âBrother Peng, can I go in with you? I wish to see Sis Feiâer too.â
She wanted to see how sickly she was!
Hearing what Yang Xiaobing said, Li Pengâs happy face froze. He caressed Yang Xiaobingâs hair.
âXiaobing, I told you not to come. You know Feiâer is angry now. Itâs hasnât been easy to get her to agree to see me. You wait obediently outside.â
Yang Xiaobingâs face paled. She sighed and finally nodded and agreed to Li Pengâs request.
âThen, can you bring this black chicken soup Iâve boiled in? Sis Feiâer has just had a miscarriage, sheâll need some nourishment. I boiled it the whole morning.â
Huh, as long as Li Peng brought her gift to Lin Feiâer, the effect of this would be similar to the effect of her going in personally.
She believed Sis Feiâer would be extremely angry, wouldnât she?
Li Peng looked at Yang Xiaobingâs dull and worried eyes. His words of rejection had reached his lips but he couldnât bear to say it.
When Li Peng was silent, Yang Xiaobing immediately shoved him the thermal food jar.
âBrother Peng, quick, go in, Sis Feiâer is waiting for you.â
Li Peng took a glance at the thermal food jar. He thought Yang Xiaobing had good intentions and that she had woke up early to boil this especially for Lin Feiâer, so he took it along as he entered to intensive care unit.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The sudden sound of door opening made Su Wan and Lin Feiâerâs heads turn.
Lin Feiâer saw Li Pengâs haggard face and a sad smile appeared on her face.
âLi Peng, youâre finally here.â
This was a man she loved so deeply but at the same time, hated to the core.
