Chapter 467 To Have or Not to Have a Child 3 "Divorce." "Child custody..."

When a couple lives together, it is inevitable that there will be conflicts. As long as the man is humble, admits his mistakes, and makes a promise, in most cases, life can continue to go on smoothly.

Unfortunately, Yao Taotao and Chao Risheng obviously do not fall into this category.

Furthermore, in Yao Taotao's opinion, Chao Risheng's attitude could not be considered a sincere admission of guilt. He was just quibbling and trying to create an image of deep affection. The talk of handing over the salary and not betraying or cheating was just an excuse to exempt him from the secret plan to make her pregnant.

From beginning to end, he never made a clear explanation or attitude towards the matter itself, which made her feel extremely sad and heartbroken.

It turns out that all men in the world love to stare at women's bellies. The only difference is that some men stare in an ugly way, while some are good at disguising themselves and are polite and generous.

Chao Risheng obviously belongs to the latter.

Even though his face was full of flattery, sadness and innocence at this moment, she didn't want to forgive him.

She got out of bed and strode out at great speed. Chao Risheng had no choice but to chase her out, grabbing the doorknob before her. He was a little angry, and suppressed his anger and asked, "I've always been confused. When you married Cao Guangyi, didn't you consider the possibility of pregnancy?"

"I had no choice back then. Even if I got pregnant, I had no choice but to give birth to the baby. But now it's different. Now I have a choice. I want to live with dignity, instead of being treated as a puppet, a marionette, a reproductive tool that doesn't deserve to have self-awareness." Yao Taotao looked at Chao Risheng seriously.

To be honest, this man is impeccable in daily life. Given time, there is a high probability that she will give in.

Unfortunately, he couldn't wait any longer. He selfishly decided their fate on his own initiative, and even called it "for her own good." How ironic.

If she had a child with such a man, she would not be happy because he had a rich family property. She would only feel humiliated and sad because she had lost the initiative.

If he really respected her, he shouldn't make the same mistake a second time. She gave him a chance the first time, so this time, she decided to leave and she had to leave.

Even if they have other possibilities in the future, at least, in this matter at hand, she must win this battle. She must win back the dignity that has been taken away from her!

After she finished speaking, she stopped talking and just stared at Chao Risheng with her disappointed and angry eyes.

Chao Risheng was a little embarrassed. After struggling for a long time, he finally asked, "Tell me, if I hadn't made such a stupid move, would you be willing to have a child with me in three years, five years, or ten years?"

Yao Taotao did not answer. She just pried open the man's hand that was holding the door handle and responded with a decisive action.

Chao Risheng was anxious and had to compromise: "Wait a minute, tell me, how can you keep this child? As long as it is within my ability, I will obey you in everything."

Yao Taotao froze, paused, and thought for a moment before replying, "Divorce."

This answer was hardly surprising. Chao Risheng closed his eyes sadly and asked, "Will you give me custody of the child?"

"Why?" Yao Taotao pushed him away with a sneer, opened the door and was about to leave.

Chao Risheng had no choice but to give up. He put his arms around Yao Taotao's waist from behind and refused to let her resist: "If you leave now, I won't be around for the next ten months. How about this, you give birth to the baby safely, and I will listen to you about everything you do next. I won't say no again. Please, okay?"

"Impossible." Yao Taotao tried to throw him off her back, but he was too heavy. She tried for a long time, but he finally outmaneuvered her and picked her up and carried her into the room.

Yao Taotao was so angry that she jumped up and pointed at his nose and cursed him. Chao Risheng did not say anything back, but kept repeating the same thing over and over again: "You can't leave. You already had a threatened miscarriage. It's so hot, if you leave, you'll have an accident. You can hate me, curse me, or even hit me, but you can't leave."

Yao Taotao understood: "You want to put me under house arrest?"

"I didn't. We are a legal couple. I am worried about your health and don't want you to take risks. That's all." Chao Risheng is a cultured man and it is easy for him to whitewash his behavior.

Yao Taotao was speechless and had to pick up the phone and call Yao Mengmeng.

When Yao Mengmeng and others rushed over, almost without exception, they all stood on Chao Risheng's side.

This persuaded Yao Taotao that she was in her thirties and should stop struggling. The important thing was to give birth to the child so that she could have someone to rely on when she was old.

The person who persuaded Yao Taotao was saying that she was getting divorced for the second time and she would be laughed at if she filed for divorce again. Besides, Chao Risheng was not a family-shy person and he would definitely be willing to take care of the child and it would not affect her work.

Liu Hongwei was even more outrageous, directly mocking her, "Second sister, I think you've had enough of your good life and are itching for trouble. Do you have to make a scene to be happy? Look at you sisters, who haven't given birth to children? Why are you acting like you're going to die? Is it really that serious?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Hongwei was kicked by Yao Mengmeng. He had no choice but to shut up and stop talking.

As they were chatting, there was a knock on the door. Yao Mengmeng hurried to open it. The moment she saw who it was, she screamed excitedly, "Second sister, guess who's here? Zhizhi is back!"

Yao Zhizhi only brought two sets of clothes. She stuffed the small suitcase into Yao Mengmeng's arms, avoided Yao Mengmeng's warm hug, and walked straight into the room.

The others, having heard the commotion, had already made way for her. She didn't bother to greet them. She walked over to the bed, looked at Chao Risheng's impassive expression, then at Yao Taotao's resolute expression, and said without hesitation, "Don't try to persuade me. Second Sister will do whatever she wants. If anyone dares to stop her, I'll call the police."

Chao Risheng was speechless. He thought Yao Zhizhi would try to persuade Yao Taotao. After all, it is better to demolish ten temples than to ruin a marriage. Who would have thought that she would actually...

Chao Risheng said angrily, "Your second sister wants to divorce me, and you let her do that? Think carefully, this is her first pregnancy. If she has an abortion, she might not be able to get pregnant again in the future."

Yao Zhizhi rolled her eyes: "I don't need you to educate me."

Chao Risheng responded with a rude eye roll: "Then why are you still pampering her? She's already in her thirties. If you delay any longer, you won't have the chance to regret it."

"Great talent Chao! My second sister is an adult and can make her own decisions. She doesn't need you to alarm her." Yao Zhizhi helped Yao Taotao up and leaned closer to ask in a low voice, "Chao Risheng is so annoying. Why don't you come to Hong Kong with me for a few months? That way you'll have time to think it over."

Yao Taotao had no objection, but before leaving, she wanted to get a divorce.

Unexpectedly, Chao Risheng originally said that he would be willing to divorce as long as she was willing to have a child, but now he has changed his mind. I don’t know if he is angry or what, but if he wants to drag it out, Yao Taotao will not be able to get a divorce certificate immediately.

Instead of continuing to make a fuss and getting hurt, it is better to walk away, create some distance in time and space, calm down and then make a decision.

So that afternoon, Yao Taotao left her love nest with Chao Risheng and followed Yao Zhizhi.

Watching the two women walk away side by side, Liu Hongwei couldn't help but complain, "Brother-in-law, you're really careless. Aren't you afraid that if she leaves, the child will be gone, and she'll run away too?"

Of course Chao Risheng was afraid, so he changed his mind and refused to divorce.

He wanted to take a gamble, betting that Yao Taotao would not be willing to abort the child, and betting that his companionship day and night over the past few years at least had some weight in this woman's heart.

He clenched his fists. "If they can go, I can go too. I'll apply for a pass tomorrow."

Liu Hongwei raised his eyebrows: "You're going too? Aren't you afraid of the opposite effect?"

"I just won't show up." Chao Risheng has had enough of being the president. At his age, he might as well be romantic and travel around the world for love. Maybe it can become material for his future writing.

On the plane, Yao Taotao looked at the ground outside the window and couldn't help but sigh: "It's a good thing you're back, otherwise I would still be listening to Mengmeng and the others' lectures."

Yao Zhizhi comforted her, "Mengmeng and the others aren't as intellectually advanced as you are, so you can't blame them for not understanding you. Don't think about anything else when you get to Hong Kong. Just have fun for a few days. You're too young to have an abortion right now. Once you're tired and have some rest, think carefully about how to resolve this."

"I actually just want to see his attitude. If he had admitted his mistake and apologized sincerely at the beginning, I would still be willing to give him a chance." Yao Taotao never said that she absolutely did not want to have a child. She was just afraid and had not yet gotten over the hurdle in her heart.

Unfortunately, Chao Risheng was so impatient that he had to do something secretly to make her pregnant unexpectedly.

The feeling of being plotted against and backstabbed was too uncomfortable, and this was what really made her angry.

It's a pity for this man. Once children are involved, his usual integrity, understanding and respect all turn to shit.

Yao Taotao couldn't help but smile bitterly. "He's repeatedly praised women with a sense of freedom in his works, praising those who dare to defy the world and leave. But in the end, he wants to turn me into a woman he imprisons, a woman who willingly gives up herself for him. How can this not be ironic?"

"Isn't that human nature? Why should we sing praises to Lei Feng's spirit? Because most people can't do it. Why should we sing praises to free souls? Because most people are trapped in a shell, big or small. Fame, money, status, and children are all shackles that trap him, so he can't be free. But this doesn't prevent him from singing praises to freedom. These are two different things." Yao Zhizhi was not making excuses for Chao Risheng, she was just stating a fact.

Even she herself cannot be a perfect person.

Isn’t the reason why human beings can continue to progress because this group of people trapped in the shell have been looking towards the world outside the shell?

It is always good to have pursuits, better than being numb, better than being completely integrated into the secular world without knowing it.

In this way, at least deep in the soul of the shell, there is still a person who yearns for freedom.

Yao Taotao understood this principle, but when the knife fell on her body, it was extremely painful and extremely difficult to accept.

Soon, the plane landed at Baiyun Airport. The two changed cars and then changed boats. At nightfall the next day, they finally arrived at the other side of the Hong Kong River.

After a lot of trouble, Yao Zhizhi finally arranged a room for Yao Taotao. The whole family lived in a mountainside villa purchased with the help of her third brother. They hired a maid and a driver, so their life was quite convenient.

The next morning, Yao Taotao woke up and made a request to Yao Zhizhi: "Is there any way to go to a private clinic to see how abortions are performed? It doesn't matter if I can't get in, just let me see what the aborted baby looks like."
