Chapter 588

Upon hearing Fang Xiu’s words, Qin Xue remembered that it did seem to be the case.

Qin Xue was speechless now. It seemed that there were all sorts of people in this world – those who would go to any lengths to achieve their goals, not considering the consequences, only seeking their own interests and not caring about the lives of others.

“Then let Jing Xin directly tell them to make a fuss. In the end, everyone will suffer, and who will lose out?” In fact, Qin Xue knew that Jing Xin would be at a disadvantage, but she wanted to gamble that the Jings didn’t understand the intricacies of this situation.

“It’s useless; the Jings are very familiar with this kind of situation; they won’t compromise.” Fang Xiu felt exhausted, both mentally and physically.

“So what should we do? Do we really have to go back?” Qin Xue asked dejectedly.

“For the sake of his future, there’s no other choice.” Fang Xiu couldn’t give up on her son, but Jing Xin couldn’t divorce her either. Returning to the Jings seemed to be their only option.

“But it’s so frustrating.” Qin Xue said resentfully.

“You can say that again.” Fang Xiu bitterly smiled, having learned many things in the past two years.

“Don’t think too much about it. Your complexion doesn’t look good. Is it because these matters are weighing on your heart?” Just yesterday, when she was invited to their baby’s one-month celebration dinner, Fang Xiu hadn’t mentioned any of this.

“Not entirely.” Fang Xiu just felt a bit weary, perhaps from being too tired.

“Give me your hand; let me see.” Qin Xue thought of a possibility.

“No need, you can go on with your business; go home early, so the child doesn’t get hungry and cry.” Fang Xiu knew her own body, and aside from feeling tired, she didn’t have any other discomforts.

“Your health is more important than any of this.” Qin Xue made her sit down.

She grabbed a piece of clothing, folded it and put it on the table as padding. She started to take Fang Xiu’s pulse and found a slippery pulse.

This silly girl probably didn’t know yet. It seemed like she hadn’t thought about this possibility. If she continued like this, she might fall into depression.

“Fang Xiu, when was the last time you had your period?” Qin Xue knew she had to tell her about her condition.

“Qin Xue, are you saying that I’m pregnant?” Fang Xiu couldn’t believe it as she placed her hand on her stomach and asked Qin Xue.

“First, tell me when your last period was.” Qin Xue seriously asked Fang Xiu.

“It’s been a week late now; I thought it was just because I’ve been too tired lately and that’s why it hasn’t come.” Fang Xiu calculated the days in her head and spoke.

“You sure have a big heart.” Qin Xue looked at Fang Xiu speechlessly.

“I’ve said before that I don’t want any more children, so we’ve been careful to avoid it. How could I still be…” Fang Xiu remembered that Jing Xin always ejaculated outside, so how come she was pregnant?

Wait, she remembered there was a time when she had angered Jing Xin, and he punished her by making love to her multiple times. Not only did he take her hard and multiple times, but he also seemed to always ejaculate inside her. Could it be that she had overlooked this, which led to her getting pregnant?

“So, have you figured it out?” Seeing Fang Xiu’s weird expression, Qin Xue knew she had remembered how it happened.

“Hmm.” Fang Xiu wanted to cry. She had always been very careful. How could she still get pregnant? It was all Jing Xin’s fault for not stopping that night, only relenting when the sky started to turn bright. She had been so tired she had fallen asleep right away, and Jing Xin had even cleaned her up.

Now she had another child inside her stomach, and she truly didn’t want it. She was content with taking care of Taotao.

“Qin Xue, if I don’t want this child, do you have any way to help me?” Fang Xiu couldn’t help but feel some regret as she asked Qin Xue. After all, the child was flesh and blood.

Wanting to give up, but how could her heart be at peace?

“Won’t you discuss this with Jing Xin first? It’s not fair to him.” Qin Xue reasoned. If Fang Xiu wanted to have an abortion, a dose of medicine from Qin Xue would’ve made it happen, but what about Jing Xin? He had a share in the child too.
