âBaby, daddyâs good to us, isnât he? Do you miss him?â
âBe good, go to sleep, mommy will find a way to take you home.â
The First Hospital.
When Shen Chi arrived, Jian Sisi was clutching the blanket and hiding on the hospital bed, looking at everyone in front of her with a wary face.
âIf you abort this child, Iâll go to the media tomorrow!â
âJian Sisi, donât forget, it was President Shen who kept you. Without him, youâd still be drowning in a sea of debts! Donât be an ingrate,â Xiao Mo said coldly.
âThen you also have no right to abort my child. Heâs my child, a little life!â
âJian Sisi, we know what youâre scheming. Donât think weâre clueless!â
âWhat am I scheming? All I want is for the child to be born healthy. Once heâs born, Iâll take him away from C City and go back to my hometown.â
âReally? Who would believe that youâd return to your hometown carrying the child of the president of Shen Group?â
Scorn was written all over Xiao Moâs face, and his eyes were filled with indifference.
âWhy wonât you believe me? I just want this child, nothing else! Can you understand a motherâs feelings?â
âYou donât want the position of Mrs. President, either?â
âOf course not. I wonât disrupt President Shenâs life. Iâll take this child and flee far away.â
Jian Sisiâs emotions were a bit stirred, and she confronted Xiao Mo while sitting on the bed.
Her slender form was wrapped in an oversized hospital gown, and her shoulders trembled.
Xiao Mo frowned:âJian Sisi, donât think President Shen wouldnât dare to do something to you. Now, if you obediently go with me to the operating room, thereâs still room for negotiation.â
âThatâs impossible, donât force me!â
Just then, Shen Chi kicked open the door of the ward, his face an ashen hue, his eyes filled with coldness and icy disdain.
âJian Sisi, donât be ungrateful!â Shen Chi said coldly.
âPresi⦠President Shenâ¦â
Jian Sisi widened her eyes in fear, retreating until her back was almost against the bed.
Her hands were trembling as she grasped the blanket. She didnât expect Shen Chi to come so quickly.
âHereâs a check for ten million. Is that enough?!â
Shen Chi strode to her bed and threw a check onto the sheets.
Jian Sisi shook her head, her eyes brimming with tears: âNo, no, President Shen⦠I really donât want your money, I donât care about money⦠Just let me keep this child, I want himâ¦â
âIs it not enough?â
âItâs not about money, President Shen, I donât want moneyâ¦â
Jian Sisiâs face was a picture of distress, she clutched the blanket, and tears âplinkedâ and âplinkedâ as they fell.
âIâll give you three more minutes to decide. Either take the money and leave, or be expelled from C City!â
âPresident Shen⦠How can you be like this? If it hadnât been for that intoxicated night, I would still be pure and innocent. But now, youâre placing all the blame on me. Is your heart made of ice? Iâm not asking for any compensation from you; all I want now is for this child, and Iâm only begging you to let me take him away.â
âYou have two minutes left.â
âPresident Shen, youâ¦!â
Jian Sisiâs body shook with anger, her face turning pale.
Xiao Mo tried to persuade her: âJian Sisi, youâve been with President Shen for four years; you should know his way of doing things.â
Of course, Jian Sisi knew. He was ruthless and emotionless.
Somehow, Zhou Peitian had offended him in the past, and Shen Chi made Zhou Peitianâs family run like stray dogs, scurrying from place to place.
Eventually, with nowhere to go, Zhou Peitian jumped from a building in despair, causing a sensation at the time.
But she never thought he could be this heartless.
Just as Jian Sisi was about to speak, Shen Chi glanced up and spotted something beneath her blanket.
He strode forward, reached out, and lifted her blanket!
Jian Sisiâs face turned deathly pale with fright; she immediately stood up, racing to grab the object!
âJian Sisi, clever move.â
But Shen Chi snatched it first, not something else but a small recorder.
Jian Sisiâs lips quivered, she was doomedâ¦
Indeed, Shen Chi sneered coldly, like a provoked lion, his eyes filled with a blood-red tinge.
Xiao Moâs face also changed, impressed by Jian Sisiâs audacity to hide a recorder under the bed.
And here she was, claiming she wanted nothing, but in truth, she aimed to use it to threaten Shen Chi for greater benefits!
This womanâs thoughts were hidden deep.
âPresident Shen⦠I⦠I didnât mean toâ¦â Jian Sisi stuttered, unable to speak coherently.
Shen Chi mercilessly crushed the recorder under his foot, lifted his shoe, and ground it with force.
Soon, the recorder was smashed to bits.
âJian Sisi, whose courage did you borrow? Huh?â Shen Chi thundered in rage.
âPresident Shen⦠I was wrong⦠I was wrongâ¦â
Jian Sisi crawled from the head of the bed to Shen Chiâs side, trying to embrace him.
Shen Chi shook her off impatiently. âClueless!â he exclaimed. âTake her to the operating room!â
As ordered, Xiao Mo came over to pull Jian Sisi away.
But Jian Sisi wouldnât let Xiao Mo touch her: âPresident Shen, I was momentarily bewitched, listening to someone elseâs words. It wasnât intentional. Forgive me and let me keep the child, please⦠President Shen, heâs your own flesh and blood⦠Look at this, look.â
Jian Sisi picked up a sonogram from the head of the bed, pointing to the middle of it: âPresident Shen, look, look at your baby, heâs already two months old, heâs your child. Do you really want to abort him? Once heâs born, he will call you daddy, heâll smile at you, and act spoiled with you. If you let him live, Iâll even let him stay with you in the future, and I can stay far away.â
Shen Chi looked down and saw the sonogram.
That little bean-sized shape was barely distinguishable.
âPresident Shen, look here, though itâs not fully formed yet, but look how cute. The doctor said the baby is very healthy.â
Shen Chi said nothing, his gaze fixed on the sonogram.
âThe doctor said, it wonât be long before the child grows. Come back for another sonogram later on, and youâll be able to see his little head⦠I really love himâ¦â
Jian Sisiâs eyes revealed a motherâs tenderness, which didnât seem feigned.
She kept staring at the sonogram, her fingers gently caressing where the child lay.
For a moment, the hospital room fell silent.
Shen Chiâs fists clenched tighter, his pupils constricting further and furtherâ¦
His frigid face became even icier, but he knew clearly in his heart that this childâs mother was Jian Sisi.
He didnât need a child born from this woman!
âPresident Shen, if you really despise me, then please donât abort this child, okay? Heâs your child, a little life. This child is innocent; he has just come into this world.â
âPresident Shen, I can leave, as long as you spare this childâs life. If you want this child, Iâll give him to you, just donât abort him, please?â
Jian Sisiâs tone was gentle and choked, tinged with weeping.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
