Chapter 720 Better a Short Pain Than a Long One

How dare you call him heartless? He became who he is today because she forced him into this situation step by step.

She's just reaping what she sowed, suffering the consequences of her own actions. What's there to complain about in front of him?

"Gong Lian, I really know I was wrong, please forgive me?" Wen Qingyi realized his ruthlessness, and tears immediately fell as she begged him for forgiveness, crying, "I beg you! For the sake of this child, please forgive me?"

She knew she was wrong. She was wrong because she thought Gong Lian would tolerate her without limits, but she didn't expect that all his tolerance had its limits.

She shouldn't have made unlimited demands.

Gong Lian ignored her cries and remained unmoved: "I can never forgive you. Even if you really know you were wrong, we can never go back to the way things were. What's past is past, and it can never be undone."

Even if they reconcile, his heart is no longer with her.

How can two people with different intentions continue to be together?

It's better to end it all completely.

After all, a short, sharp pain is worse than a long, drawn-out one.

"Gong Lian, I truly love you. Can't you give me a chance?" Wen Qingyi's eyes glistened with tears as she took the opportunity to confess her feelings, trying to touch his cold heart: "For the sake of our child, please give me a chance to love you!"

She asked for nothing more than for him to let her stay by his side.

She asked for almost nothing else besides this.

Gong Lian had lost all patience with her feigned affection: "Enough! Haven't you finished acting? This child only proves that our relationship is doomed; he shouldn't have been born at all!"

If she wants his attitude, then his attitude toward the child is already quite clear.

There's really nothing to say.

"Fine, I'm the one with the ill-fated relationship, and you and Sang Ruo are the one with the right fate, right?!"

Wen Qingyi was almost driven to the brink of collapse by his cold indifference: "I'll leave, but Gong Lian, please remember this: even if I'm not with you, as long as Ayan and I are here, you will never have the chance to be with Sang Ruo!"

"And this child is a bond you can never shake off! You can't just disown him if you want to!"

Gong Lian had lost his patience with her and pointed to the door, growling, "Get out!"

He never wanted to see her again.

Wen Qingyi then left the Gong family villa in tears.

As she got into the black Rolls-Royce parked at the door, little did she know that Gong Lian was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the study on the second floor, and had seen her figure clearly.

He immediately took out his phone and made a call: "Hey, I need you to check Wen Qingyi's whereabouts lately, who she's been with, yeah."

Wen Qingyi had no idea what Gong Lian had done behind her back. As soon as she got into the car, she saw Xu Chen raise an eyebrow: "You parted on bad terms?"

She cried so hard her face was streaked with tears, which had not yet dried.

It was obvious that the two parted on bad terms and failed to reach an agreement.

"Hmm." Wen Qingyi's voice was thick with nasal tone and tinged with sobs as she spoke: "Gong Lian doesn't acknowledge this child at all. He said that what's past is past, and there's no way they can ever be brought back together."

"I don't know what I'm lacking compared to Sang Ruo? Why do all the men I like like her?!"

Sang Ruo clearly stole everything that should have been hers, so why is it that in the end, she's always the one who gets hurt?!

Upon hearing this, Xu Chen's thin lips curled into a mocking smile: "Because your methods are inferior to hers! Look at Sang Ruo, she almost always does things behind the scenes, when has she ever done things openly like you?"

"Men all like simplicity; someone like you will only make them shy away."

It can only be said that her methods were ruthless enough, but her character was a little lacking compared to Sang Ruo.

Sang Ruo always had the patience to wait, but she was always impatient to see a result.

The result was that neither of the two men she loved loved her back.

“I was also pulling strings behind the scenes, I even…” Wen Qingyi almost let slip about the clinic explosion, but realizing her slip, she wiped away her tears and said, “Never mind, if he doesn’t admit it, he doesn’t admit it.”

“Even if he doesn’t acknowledge me, I can still give birth to and raise the child. By then, even if he doesn’t want to acknowledge me, he won’t have a choice!”

Xu Chen sighed: "By doing this, you're only forcing him and hurting yourself in the process."

Even the child will suffer along with her.

Why bother?

There are plenty of men in the world who are dead, so why are they just taking advantage of these two?

"Even so, it was my own choice." Wen Qingyi did not regret her choice.

At least it was all her own choice, and she wasn't coerced by anyone.

At this moment, even Xu Chen was speechless.

When the black Rolls-Royce drove back into the underground parking lot of the Bulgari Hotel, Acheng used satellite positioning to accurately locate Wen Qingyi sitting in Xu Chen's car.

They then sent their whereabouts to Bo Jinyan via email.

Bo Jinyan received an email from Acheng at exactly midnight. He picked up the tablet computer on his bedside table, opened his email, and saw Wen Qingyi in the obstetrics and gynecology department of the Third Hospital.

This discovery made Bo Jinyan raise an eyebrow.

He only replied to Acheng after he had read everything: "Continue to follow."

He clicked send before putting down his tablet and preparing to lie down and continue sleeping.

Just as he was about to lie down, he noticed that Sang Ruo had already opened her eyes. Thinking that he had made too much noise, he softened his voice and asked, "Did I wake you up?"

"I've been awake since the moment your tablet beeped," Sang Ruo said sleepily. "Who could it be in the middle of the night?"

"It's an email from A-Cheng, nothing much." Bo Jinyan didn't want to discuss these things with her while she was sleeping: "Let's go to sleep."

However, this decision at that moment was something that Bo Jinyan would later deeply regret.

The next day at noon, just as the two had finished lunch and Bo Jinyan was about to go upstairs, they heard a commotion at the door: "Let me in! I need to see Sang Ruo and Bo Jinyan! Get out of my way!"

"Who is it? Why are you making such a racket?" Sang Ruo came out to take a look, and when she saw who it was, her face turned cold. "How could it be you?"

That's right, the person making a ruckus at the door was none other than Wen Qingyi, whom she hadn't seen for a long time.

The last time I saw her was when she poisoned Xiao Kang's bowl.

Therefore, she naturally didn't give Wen Qingyi a friendly look.

Wen Qingyi didn't care about any of that: "Who else could it be but me? Where is Bo Jinyan? Tell him to come out here! He's the one I want to see!"
