Chapter 332: Choices
"What would you do if you were in my place?" He asked, even though he knew Xiehan might not have much to say since he had not had any experience with such a situation.
The latter let out a smile. "Well, I would make a deal with her. I would ask her to give the baby to me once it’s born."
Jiang Xingyu thought about his friend’s idea and decided that it wasn’t a bad one. "You know, I would be sad if I’m no longer in peaceful terms with her after taking the baby but if that’s what it takes to save our baby then I don’t mind giving it a shot."
"Idiot." Xiehan nudged his friend. When the latter gave him a confused look, he explained, "The deal is just a way of buying time. She is still in shock right now so she is thinking irrationally. By the time eight months are over, she will have grown attached to it and will not want to give it away anymore. After all, I don’t think there’s any mother who would still hate their baby after carrying it for nine months."
"You are a genius." Jiang Xingyu was awed at the fact he had been too devastated to think about. But then he frowned. "Well, Luna’s mother hates her so much even after carrying her for nine months."
Xiehan frowned at the thought as well. "Forget about her. She is a weird case." Who would love one twin but despise the other when they were identical? All her excuses were irrelevant too...
"Well, if you are going to try that out, you should be ready for anything. She could still dislike the baby for ruining her life so you may want to be prepared to be a single father in case that happens."
"I don’t mind." He was relieved knowing that he could save his child even though he had not talked to her about it yet.

The days went by pretty fast and before they noticed it, a week had passed.
Luna stared at the screen of her laptop. Her fingers had not moved for the past ten minutes. Cheng Yu couldn’t watch it any longer.
