nly became quiet. Moxiao Yao moved his hand to gently hold Moxiao Bai's hand, "I never saw you as a woman nor as someone helpless and weak."Moyao looked seriously at Mo Xiaobai, speaking each word slo...317

At first, it was just a casual attitude, but later on, he took it seriously.

Undeniably, she is very beautiful.

Yet, having seen many beauties over the years, he couldn’t understand why he still couldn't forget her.

Perhaps, it’s this delicate aura of hers that makes one reluctant to hurt her.

Hence, when she came back and showed affection, they got back together.

"Shuwen, I went for a check-up today. The doctor said the baby is healthy and already knows it's a boy," Zhao Yuning said sweetly, with a slight blush on her cheeks.

Tang Shuwen nodded but remained silent, thinking about the boy.

Boy, Xiao Nian… Tang Shuwen’s gaze softened slightly as he thought of Xiao Nian's blank face. He didn’t know when that child would recover; the doctor said it could get better suddenly, or never improve again.

Xue Ru was very sad and had shed many tears in secret.

"Shuwen, what’s wrong It’s a boy, aren't you happy" Zhao Yuning asked anxiously, grabbing his arm nervously. Tang Shuwen looked down and shook his head; she suddenly smiled to herself, "I know you'll be very happy."

Happy

He couldn’t quite describe his feelings; he wasn’t exactly happy.

It was as if hearing about something that didn't concern him at all, how could it make one happy

"Is that all you wanted to tell me" Tang Shuwen asked. Zhao Yuning looked up at him, her surprise fleeting before sorrow overwhelmed her, breaking her heart. Tang Shuwen sighed and said, "Yuning, this tactic doesn't work every time; I'm no longer the 18-year-old Tang Shuwen."

Over these years, his heart had grown cold and hardened, accustomed to life and death. Unless she was a woman he loved deeply, how could any pitiful expression move him.

The way he felt about Zhao Yuning was complicated.

He both loved her and resented her; there was an element of revenge in their reunion since he had never before been abandoned by someone as he had grown up.

But after reuniting, he could sense her sincerity. So he thought it best to let the past go, not worth dwelling on because they were young and naive back then.

Couples breaking up was normal.

If not for Chen Xieru, perhaps he would have married her since he had loved her for so long.

But now...

"What do you mean by that" Zhao Yuning asked tremblingly. Her heart was uneasy and fearful; it was a pain she couldn't express.

Was he not concerned about her or their child

"Don't be like this, it's very late now, the weather is cold too, and you're not well, go inside and rest first. We can talk tomorrow, okay" Tang Shuwen said. When Zhao Yuning heard that Tang Shuwen still cared for her, she felt hope again.

He still loved her.

"Shuwen, do you not plan to take care of our son and me" Zhao Yuning asked through tears. Tang Shuwen didn't know how to answer her and remained silent; the more he was silent, the sadder Zhao Yuning became.

Suddenly, she tightly grasped his hand, "You wouldn't be this ruthless, right Shuwen, we love each other. You should have married me. If you like having a child, I can give you one. Now that we already have a child, why are you ignoring us"

Tang Shuwen's brows knitted together as he saw Zhao Yuning in such distress; it pained him too.

After all, she was someone he cared about and had deeply loved before. He couldn't remain unmoved by her tears and sorrow, but no matter how much he ached for her, he could not give her any promises.

"Shuwen, say something," Zhao Yuning pounded on his chest while crying, "You can’t just ignore me and our child. This is your child."

Tang Shuwen held her hand and asked, "What do you want"

"I want to marry you." Tang Shuwen's gaze flashed with a sinister expression as Zhao Yuning said sorrowfully, "My family has always been strict. Being pregnant before marriage almost got me killed by my father. Our family is influential in City A; how would others look at and think of me if I’m seen with an obvious pregnancy How can I still live Shuwen, you can't be this cruel. You are someone who values responsibility the most. Are Chen Xueru and her child your responsibility while we aren’t"

"Yuning!" Tang Shuwen coldly snapped, looking at her with a fierce gaze, "I will never marry you."

Zhao Yuning trembled all over as if something had hit her heart. Her face turned pale immediately, and she stared wide-eyed at Tang Shuwen, trying to see through his eyes.

But there was nothing.

Only coldness and firm resolve.

He said that he wouldn’t marry her.

But not long ago, he clearly told her that he would marry her and they’d live together for life.

In such a short time, how could he change his mind

They say a woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea—extremely unpredictable.

But why is a man's heart so hard to fathom

Where has Tang Shuwen gone, the one who once held him and made solemn vows

Her body was trembling. Tang Shuwen steadied her shoulders and said gravely, "Yunqing, before our wedding, I told you clearly that our relationship is over. No more往來。這次你懷孕，我確實冇想到，但 Yunqing，即便如此，我們也再無可能了。這個孩子來得不是時候，你應該……把它拿掉。”

"What are you saying" Zhao Yunqing's eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at him, as if she had heard a joke. She clutched her chest and gazed at him with sorrow, those cruel words coming from the usually gentle Tang Shuwen.

Abortion!

He doesn't want this child.

And he no longer wants her either.

He wanted to kill his own child. No, no, she must have misunderstood. Zhao Yunqing shook her head and tears streamed down her face. Seeing this, Tang Shuwen was at a loss for words.

Indeed, he was being cruel.

To Zhao Yunqing, it felt like cruelty to ask her to abort the child and give up on him.

But if he didn't do this, it would hurt Xueru and Xiaoni.

Chen Xueru and Zhao Yunqing held different weights in his heart. His inner balance had shifted from favoring one to becoming equal and then tilting the other way again. If he couldn't protect everyone, he could only choose to protect his wife and son.

Xueru...

Even though he didn't love her as deeply as Zhao Yunqing did, there was something about this situation that made him willing to sacrifice Zhao Yunqing for her sake.ter.
