Chapter 340: Jealousy
"We have to do something. We can’t let the child be born. If the Qin family comes to know about this, we will land up in big trouble," Father Xi said.
On the other side, Xi Yaohua directly went to meet Song Mei. Xi Bingyu had fired her after getting the news of her pregnancy so they had to meet in a restaurant.
The space was dimly lit, the soft glow of a single lamp casting a warm ambiance as Song Mei and Xi Yaohua sat facing each other on a cozy couch.
Song Mei’s eyes shimmered with determination and vulnerability, while Xi Yaohua’s expression reflected a mix of concern and uncertainty.
Taking a deep breath, Song Mei summoned her courage and spoke with a voice filled with a raw, unyielding sincerity, "I want you to understand something, sir," she began, her voice quivering slightly.
"I don’t want your power or the influence that comes with it. All I want is our child, to love and protect it with all my heart."
Xi Yaohua’s eyes widened, his heart swelling with emotion as her words washed over him. He had always known that their relationship was just of benefits, with him being someone of great influence and authority, while she was a beacon of simplicity and nothing else.
Her selflessness struck him to the core, stirring up a profound admiration and a feeling of attraction for her that he couldn’t ignore.
Xi Yaohua gently cupped Song Mei’s face, his touch tender and filled with gratitude. "Mei Mei," he whispered, his voice thick with emotion. "You have no idea how much your words mean to me. The sacrifices you’re willing to make... It’s overwhelming."
A single tear escaped the corner of Song Mei’s eye, but her resolve remained unshaken, "Sir, I just want our child to be born naturally. Our child deserves to know the unconditional love of both parents. I want it to be surrounded by love and happiness."
"I am not asking for the position of young madam in your family. I can raise my child alone. I just don’t want it to be born. My request is not hard to fulfill, is it?" Song Mei said to Xi Yaohua while sobbing.
