Chapter 333: All sorts of work out
Luna felt guilt wash over her entire being. "Aunty, I don’t have any other reason."
Madam Jiang scanned her seriously. "Since that’s the case, then listen to me.
I know I may sound selfish for saying this, but I’m not going to pretend that I don’t care about that baby. Aside from being yours and Xingyu’s, he is my grandchild as well."
Luna couldn’t blame her. At least she was being honest. But, "I’m sorry, I..."
"I’m still speaking." She interrupted her, maintaining her serious look. "There are uncountable methods of contraception. I’m sure you don’t need me to name and explain them?"
Luna blushed and shook her head.
"I thought so." Madam Jiang crossed her arms. "Since you knew that they existed, but you and Xingyu still chose to observe none of them, what were you expecting aside from getting pregnant? It’s one thing if they failed but if you didn’t even think of protecting yourselves, where do you get the audacity to claim that you were not ready to be parents?"
"Aunty..." Luna was so embarrassed that she didn’t know what to say. Madam Jiang had never been so serious with her, much less to talk about such a topic.
The older woman sat down. "That said, let’s talk about your decision to get rid of it. If you are sure that you will neither regret it nor miss that baby, I have nothing against your decision. But think about what might happen to your body afterwards. Think about..." She paused midway. She didn’t need to tell her any of that either. She must have already learnt all about it.
She stood to leave, pausing briefly. "If knowing this helps; I wasn’t ready for Xingyu either. Xingren and I were in love but we had to rush into marriage because Xingyu happened... but don’t I love him more than my life now?
Luna, you must be overwhelmed at the moment but... don’t be rash, okay?
