Chapter 288. Decision (1)
The ward instantly fell silent. It was so silent that there was an indescribable stillness, a suffocating feeling. Xi Xinyi’s expression had turned pale and stiff underneath Han Yifeng’s disappointed and dim gaze.
Han Yifeng stared at Xi Xinyi, catching all her reactions. A while passed before he continued, “By this point, I’ve been organizing and analyzing everything between us from the start till now. I admit that we did have many happy times in between, but, Xinyi, the journey in the future is much longer. I had to reevaluate and reorientate our relationship after everything that has happened.”
“Yifeng, that’s enough. Please don’t continue…”
As if knowing what Han Yifeng was about to say next, Xi Xinyi clung onto Han Yifeng in panic. She wanted to reach out to cover Han Yifeng’s mouth, preventing him from continuing.
While Han Yifeng was determined to settle things once and for all, he reached out to catch her hand, and say in an extremely heavy tone, “Xinyi, let me finish.”
“I cannot just pretend that all of this didn’t happen. Rather than force ourselves to go on like this, we should just be frank. Given your current situation, I won’t be irresponsible. When Yueying and the Han Corporation is steady, and all of these rumors have passed, we will settle this thing between us too. This child… I hope that you can get an abortion. I’ll do my best to compensate you. Another choice is to give birth to this child, but after one year, I’ll hand you the divorce papers and give you a huge compensation.”
Han Yifeng had been struggling for the past few days. When he had to make such a decision, he also felt very extremely pained, yet now after the words came out of his mouth, he unexpectedly felt very calm and he seemed to be relieved too.
“What…? Yifeng, you… What are you saying? You want me to abort our child? You want to divorce me?” Xi Xinyi widened her swollen eyes in disbelief and fixed them on Han Yifeng. Her eyes were filled with shock and her whole body turned stiff. “You want me to abort our child? Is it…”
When he saw that Xi Xinyi was about to have a breakdown, Han Yifeng felt indescribable anguish in his heart, but he still answered firmly, “I just hope that these things won’t become even messier in the future. Making things as simple as possible if the best ending for the two of us.”
