Chapter 155 A Decision Was Made

Lin Xuesha pointed to the chair opposite the coffee table and said, "Shen Yuan, please sit down first."

Lin Xuesha didn't rush to say anything.

Fu Shenyuan was a little uneasy when he learned that she was in the hospital, so he asked urgently, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

"No, no," Lin Xuesha shook her head sweetly, "It should be considered a good thing."

Fu Shenyuan watched Lin Xuesha's actions quietly. He saw her take a brown paper bag out of her bag and hand it to him.

Fu Shenyuan accepted it.

Lin Xuesha said, "Open it and take a look, Shen Yuan. I hope you'll be happy after you see it."

Lin Xuesha's shy appearance made Fu Shenyuan's heart tremble slightly, and his intuition told him that the paper bag should not be opened.

Fu Shenyuan slowly opened the document bag and pulled out the thin sheet of paper inside.

He couldn't understand the gray image above, but the results below the image were clearly written.

Lin Xuesha looked at Fu Shenyuan happily and said, "Shenyuan, I'm pregnant with our child."

Fu Shenyuan's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Lin Xuesha is pregnant.

She got pregnant after just one time.

Lin Xuesha's eyes darted around a few times before she said, "I just wanted to tell you this good news in person. You're the first person besides me to know I'm pregnant, and you're also the father of the child."

Only Lin Xuesha knew that the two of them had never slept together, let alone had a child.

But now, this "child" must exist.

Lin Xuesha held Fu Shenyuan's hand and asked, "Shenyuan, are you happy?"

Lin Xuesha's expression clearly showed that she also wanted Fu Shenyuan to be happy.

However, Fu Shenyuan did not immediately express his opinion; he stared blankly at the report.

Lin Xuesha is pregnant.

He and Lin Xuesha only had that one time, and it happened after he got drunk. That time, he actually got pregnant.

Seeing that Fu Shenyuan did not respond, Lin Xuesha asked, "Shenyuan, are you unhappy? Don't you like this child?"

Lin Xuesha immediately put on a tearful expression.

Fu Shenyuan couldn't help but feel sorry for Lin Xuesha in this state: "I'm sorry, Xuesha, that's not what I meant."

"Do you not like this child, Shen Yuan, or do you not want this child that belongs to us?"

Lin Xuesha's eyes darkened slightly as she observed Fu Shenyuan's reaction.

As expected, Fu Shenyuan felt apologetic after hearing Lin Xuesha's words.

Fu Shenyuan smiled briefly and said, "No, how could I not like your child?"

Although Fu Shenyuan said this, he also genuinely felt that he wasn't actually that happy.

Lin Xuesha seemed to be able to see through Fu Shenyuan's thoughts, so she said, "Shenyuan, I am really happy to have a child with you."

"Shen Yuan, do you know that before coming to the hospital for a check-up, I went back to my home and saw this?"

As Lin Xuesha spoke, she pulled another small envelope out of her bag.

She knew she had to use this most effective method to morally blackmail Fu Shenyuan.

The man's guilt will be her greatest protection in this life.

She opened the envelope, and inside was a letter signed "Starlight," a letter that "she" had written to Fu Shenyuan when she was a child.

"I miss the way we were when we were little. I always felt safe when I was with you. I promised to stay with you for life, and you will always be with me. Our feelings were the purest back then. I would give up my life for you."

Lin Xuesha was engrossed in the story she had stolen and fabricated, describing it all with great emotion.

“We were so young back then, but I was determined to be with you. I knew you were hurt, so I was willing to stay with you and be with you all the time. Even now, I still feel the same way. Brother Xiaochuan, I feel so happy to have saved you.”

Upon hearing Lin Xuesha mention her childhood, Fu Shenyuan's expression immediately turned guilty.

“Xue Sha, I will always remember this memory, and I cherish it just as much as you do,” Fu Shenyuan said.

Lin Xuesha smiled, then said somewhat aggrievedly, "But, it seems like Brother Xiaochuan hasn't been spending much time with me lately. Do you not like me anymore? Where have you been lately?"

Lin Xuesha's recounting of past events to Fu Shenyuan was tantamount to piling up his regrets.

As expected, Fu Shenyuan's eyes darkened as he reflected on his recent behavior.

He neglected Lin Xuesha and focused more attention on Jiang Ranxing.

That's right, Lin Xuesha was the one who risked her life to save him when he was young, so he shouldn't doubt his own feelings.

He shouldn't have neglected Lin Xuesha because he was concerned about Jiang Ranxing.

He owes his life to Lin Xuesha, and he should give everything for her.

As for Jiang Ranxing's existence, it shouldn't be more important than the starlight that saved him in his childhood.

Fu Shenyuan frowned slightly. Even with these thoughts, he still couldn't shake Jiang Ranxing's image from his mind.

He didn't know what was wrong with him; everything about Jiang Ranxing made him feel out of control.

His heart started beating for Jiang Ranxing.

But Lin Xuesha, he has wronged her in this lifetime.

Fu Shenyuan and Lin Xuesha expressed their apologies.

Fu Shenyuan said, "Xue Sha, I've been too busy with work lately, but my feelings for you remain the same."

Hearing Fu Shenyuan say that, Lin Xuesha smiled: "Shenyuan, you're still the best to me."

Lin Xuesha said, "Shen Yuan, let's go home. I want to go back and rest."

Fu Shenyuan nodded and said, "Okay."

The two returned to the Green Mountain Villa together.

Fu Shenyuan instructed the housekeeper: "Xue Sha is pregnant now, so remember to take good care of her and make sure there are no mistakes."

The butler was inwardly surprised, but outwardly he nodded calmly.

"Sir, please rest assured, we will take good care of Miss Lin."

Fu Shenyuan hummed in agreement and then returned to his study.

When the housekeeper had some free time, he called the nanny, the cook, and all the other servants to the garden.

The housekeeper said, "The master said that Miss Lin is pregnant. From now on, everything in the villa will be done with Miss Lin's best interests at heart. We must pay attention to the kitchen's diet, including Miss Lin's dietary restrictions and recipes suitable for pregnant women."

The butler gave some more instructions before letting everyone disperse.

The nanny looked around before leaning closer to the housekeeper and asking, "Miss Lin is really pregnant? What about Madam? Won't this villa have to change its mistress?"

The butler made a shushing gesture and said, "Don't gossip about the master's affairs. If you've said it in private, don't talk about it anymore. The affairs of the mistress and master are not for us to interfere in."

The nanny realized she had said something wrong and quickly covered her mouth.

The butler said in a low voice, "Madam probably won't want to come back here anymore, as you and I both know. Our jobs won't be as easy as they used to be. Miss Lin isn't as easygoing as Madam. If you don't want to lose your job, you'd better listen to Miss Lin."

The nanny sighed and walked into the villa.

What kind of situation is this? The real mistress of the house isn't home, but the outsider has become pregnant and turned into a gold nugget.

They could all be fired by Lin Xuesha if they weren't careful, which is really different from when Jiang Ranxing was around.

Back at her apartment, Jiang Ranxing still couldn't shake off her discomfort. She sat on the wicker chair by the balcony for a long time before finally making up her mind.

She called Wen Qingrang, who answered quickly.

"Burning Star, what's wrong?" Wen Qingrang asked.

Jiang Ranxing paused for two seconds, then said, "Qingrang, I think I should listen to you, and also to reality, and give up this child as soon as possible."

Jiang Ranxing was sitting here thinking about this.

This child cannot be kept, nor should he be kept; the longer he stays, the greater the harm to his health will be.

It would be better to be ruthless and abort this child that was destined not to be born.

She also didn't want to have anything to do with Fu Shenyuan anymore.

Keeping this child would mean there's still a lingering connection.

Wen Qingrang did not reply immediately, but said, "Are you home? I'll come to you, and we can talk in person."

Jiang Ranxing thought it was a good idea, but she didn't really want to talk about it in the closed environment of her home. She wanted to relax her chaotic mind first.

So Jiang Ranxing asked, "The resort in the suburbs you mentioned last time, can I still go there now?"

Wen Qingrang realized that Jiang Ranxing was referring to the Wen family's resort in the suburbs, the one he had always wanted to take Jiang Ranxing there.

“Of course,” Wen Qingrang said with a smile. “I’ll come pick you up so we can go together.”

Jiang Ranxing said, "Okay, thank you."

Wen Qingrang didn't say anything, quickly hung up the phone, and headed to Jiang Ranxing's apartment.

Looking at the bustling scene outside the window, Jiang Ranxing thought that perhaps she really should give it a final, careful consideration.

Consider when to remove this child who shouldn't have come into this world.

Wen Qingrang arrived quickly. After picking up Jiang Ranxing, he drove to the suburbs. Along the way, he bought Jiang Ranxing a lot of things, including food and daily necessities.

He genuinely wanted to make Jiang Ranxing feel as comfortable as possible.

Jiang Ranxing felt a little overwhelmed by the thoughtful care she received.

"Qingrang, thank you for taking such good care of me, but you don't need to work so hard. I can manage on my own."

No matter what she said, Wen Qingrang continued to take care of her and treat her well, and would also use words to make her understand that she deserved it.

Jiang Ranxing also found himself gradually being encouraged by Wen Qingrang.

The blows she suffered from Fu Shenyuan in the past are being healed little by little by Wen Qingrang.

As dusk approached, the horizon was tinged with a blend of blue and yellow, a serene and radiant scene that brought a sense of peace to the soul.

Wen Qing made way for a long time before finally parking the car in front of the Wen family's resort.

The villa's butler immediately came to greet them. After seeing Wen Qingrang get out of the car, he opened the door for Jiang Ranxing.

The butler, very perceptive, said, "Sir, I've heard our master mention that this must be the future wife."

Jiang Ranxing had just gotten out of the car when she heard the butler say that, and her cheeks immediately flushed red.

"What future wife?" Jiang Ranxing said shyly. "You must have mistaken me for someone else."

Jiang Ranxing looked at Wen Qingrang, but Wen Qingrang just smiled.

"It must have been my grandfather who told them. My grandfather usually likes to chat casually. Ranxing, please don't take offense."

Wen Qingrang spoke casually, creating a comfortable atmosphere for Jiang Ranxing.

Jiang Ranxing could only nod, not taking the joke too seriously.

The butler watched the two of them from the side and sensed a certain romantic atmosphere.

So he thought to himself, it seems that what the master said might actually be true.

For the first time ever, their young master had fallen in love and brought his future wife home.

This is a good thing for everyone in the Wen family.

Wen Qingrang said to the housekeeper, "Don't tease her. It's her first time here. What if you scare her?"

The butler chuckled awkwardly, "Alright, alright, we'll do as the young master says."

The butler gave Jiang Ranxing a polite smile.

"Miss Jiang, please come in. We have prepared a meal for you and the young master. You can have something to eat and rest for a while."

Wen Qingrang nodded in agreement.

"Let's go, Burning Star, let's get something to eat first."

Wen Qingrang led Jiang Ranxing to an antique-style mansion.

The courtyard is designed with various classical paintings as its theme, featuring many different types of classical courtyards, some large and some small, resembling ancient paintings brought to life.

Jiang Ranxing originally had a concept of a resort that leaned towards relaxation.

Unexpectedly, the Wen family's villa resembled a traditional Chinese house from a movie or TV series, possessing a unique charm.

Wen Qingrang led Jiang Ranxing to sit down at the tea table in the courtyard.

He instructed the butler, "Bring Miss Jiang some hot milk, and also a cushion and a blanket."

Upon hearing this, the butler glanced at the two of them, smiled, and went to prepare.

Wen Qingrang, on the other hand, slowly and methodically prepared tea at the tea table.

Wen Qingrang asked, "Burning Star, what are your thoughts now?"

He asked Jiang Ranxing about what he had mentioned on the phone earlier.

As Jiang Ranxing accepted the insulated items handed to her by the housekeeper, she put on a thin blanket and looked at Wen Qingrang.

She said, "I've thought this through. I can't keep this child. My body is too weak right now. I can't even take care of myself, let alone this child. I don't want this child to come into this world with such a weak body. Besides, I really don't want to keep Fu Shenyuan's child."

Jiang Ranxing told Wen Qingrang about what had happened between Fu Shenyuan and her.

As a fellow man, Wen Qingrang understood what Fu Shenyuan thought of Jiang Ranxing.

Wen Qingrang nodded and said, "It seems he has already fallen in love with you, which is why he is reluctant to let go."

Wen Qingrang took a sip of hot tea, still worried that Jiang Ranxing might soften his heart before asking the question.

He wasn't actually confident that Jiang Ranxing would disregard Fu Shenyuan at all.

He was gambling that Jiang Ranxing could let go of Fu Shenyuan now, so he asked,

"Burning Star, what do you think of Fu Shenyuan's feelings for you?"

Jiang Ranxing looked out the window at the mountain and water scenery and smiled very faintly. The smile was like an elusive cloud, lingering among the mountains and rivers.

Jiang Ranxing said, "Whether his feelings are real or fake, what does it have to do with me? It doesn't matter anymore. When I cared about him, he wouldn't even look at me. Now, I don't want to look at him either."

“No one is obligated to stay in the same place and wait for him. No matter what he thinks, I want to leave him and move forward.”

Wen Qingrang hesitated for a moment, then asked, "What if Shen Yuan regrets what happened before and wants to keep you?"

Jiang Ranxing said, "What does that have to do with me?"

It doesn't matter anymore; there's no possibility between her and Fu Shenyuan.

Jiang Ranxing turned to look at Wen Qingrang, who returned her a very gentle smile.

“Whatever you want to do, I will support you,” Wen Qingrang said. “I will find a reliable doctor to perform the abortion for you.”

Jiang Ranxing nodded, as if a weight had finally been lifted from his heart.

Wen Qingrang continued, "Also, is Shen Yuan still unwilling to divorce you? What are your plans?"

Jiang Ranxing said, "I talked to his grandfather before and asked him to urge Fu Shenyuan to sign. If there is still no news in a few days, or if Grandpa Fu's words are not effective, I will directly find a lawyer. Even if going to court is more troublesome, I will still divorce him."

Wen Qingrang didn't say anything, but she understood what Fu Shenyuan was thinking.

But insisting on clinging to someone who has already lost all hope is clearly not a wise move.

Fu Shenyuan was also at his wit's end, so he could only continue to pester him.

Wen Qingrang also did not want Fu Shenyuan to bother Jiang Ranxing anymore.

Wen Qingrang said, "Ranxing, I support your idea. Given the current situation, you have a very favorable position in court and you are unlikely to lose."

Jiang Ranxing nodded.

I hope everything can end soon, and that she can have some peace and quiet.

The two chatted about other things, and then Jiang Ranxing felt tired, so she went to rest in a guest room at the resort.

Wen Qingrang sat in the courtyard and made a phone call to schedule a professional doctor appointment for Jiang Ranxing.

These past few days, Wen Qingrang didn't want to do anything else but stay with Jiang Ranxing to rest. As long as she could get better, that was more important than anything else.

On the other side, Lin Xuesha went to the Fu family's old house with many gifts.

She came to see Old Master Fu on purpose.

She wanted to ask Grandpa Fu for help as well.

Lin Xuesha said to the old butler, "Please ask my grandfather to come down."

Although the old butler was somewhat reluctant, he still went to invite Master Fu according to etiquette.

Grandpa Fu looked at Lin Xuesha, who had come uninvited, and was actually a little displeased: "Miss Lin, what brings you to this old man?"

Grandpa Fu originally had no intention of dealing with her.

However, Lin Xuesha's words startled Old Master Fu.

Lin Xuesha said, "Chairman Fu, this is my pregnancy test report. I am pregnant with Shen Yuan's child, and it has been going on for some time now."

Grandpa Fu took the form and glanced at it, then asked with some doubt, "Is this Shen Yuan's child?"

Lin Xuesha nodded: "Yes, we happened to be living together during that time, so that's how it happened."

Lin Xuesha lowered her head, as if she were crying, and said in a very pitiful manner, "Chairman Fu, I don't actually ask you to acknowledge me, but Shen Yuan's child can't be without a proper name. I hope Chairman Fu can give this child a formal title."

Lin Xuesha continued, "I know that Shen Yuan and Ran Xing are getting a divorce, and I have seen the divorce agreement. I don't ask Shen Yuan to marry me; I only ask that our child have a father."

She was confident that the Fu family would never wrong the Fu family bloodline.

Looking at her appearance, Grandpa Fu couldn't bring himself to argue with a pregnant woman.

So Old Master Fu said to the old butler, "Go and call Shen Yuan over, and tell him I have something to talk to him about."

Old Master Fu then looked at Lin Xuesha and said, "Since Miss Lin's child is from the Fu family, our Fu family naturally cannot ignore it. I will talk to Shen Yuan about this matter and give you an explanation. You can go back now."

Lin Xuesha was secretly delighted, but on the surface she still looked aggrieved.

"Thank you very much, Chairman Fu."

Lin Xuesha picked up the gift that was placed aside and said warmly, "These are supplements that I specially bought for you from an old Chinese medicine doctor, and I hope you will accept them."

Lin Xuesha dared not say anything more, and obediently left the Fu family's old house.

Grandpa Fu looked at the gift bags and nodded to the old butler.

The old butler immediately understood and had all those things disposed of.

About an hour later, Fu Shenyuan pushed open the door of the old house again.

In the study, Old Master Fu was sitting by the window looking at the scenery outside when he heard Fu Shenyuan's footsteps and calls.

“Grandpa, you wanted to see me,” Fu Shenyuan said.

Fu Shenyuan didn't actually know why Old Master Fu had come to see him.

Old Master Fu got straight to the point, saying without any beating around the bush, "Go sign the divorce agreement, and then go and get a divorce from Ranxing."

Old Master Fu glared at him and said, "This matter is beyond question; get it done immediately."

We can't delay any longer; this marriage must be dissolved immediately.

However, Fu Shenyuan remained silent for a long time.
