“I’m stating the facts,” Zhan Jingting said, enunciating each word clearly. “You’re from the Wen family, and I know all about their methods. There’s no need for you to pretend to be kind.”

Wen Xue's face was as pale as paper, and her hand holding the quilt trembled slightly, unable to hide her anger!

The atmosphere was tense when there was a knock on the door of the private room, and a waiter came in to serve the dishes.

Wen Xue immediately regained her composure, a gentle smile appearing on her face, as if nothing had happened.

After the waiter finished serving the dishes, Wen Xue instructed, "Go out now. I'll call you if I need anything."

"Okay, use it gently."

After the waiter left, Wen Xue's expression turned slightly cold as she said, "Jing Ting, you've always been like this since you were little—cold-blooded and ruthless, and you always misunderstand others."

“I am a member of the Wen family, and I know that our two families have an irreconcilable feud, but that has nothing to do with you or me. I, Wen Xue, have asked myself honestly, and I have never done anything to wrong you!”

Zhan Jingting smiled faintly, but the smile stopped at the corner of his eyes, and his eyes remained indifferent. "First of all, given your personality, you wouldn't dare to risk giving birth to the child without knowing who the father is, so you knew from the beginning that the child was mine."

"Secondly, you know me very well. I haven't contacted you since that night, which proves that I didn't know it was you. You also know this very well. So you secretly gave birth to my child without my knowledge. Now you have the nerve to say that you haven't done anything to betray me?"

Wen Xue felt as if she had been stripped naked, with all her thoughts exposed to the sunlight without reservation, leaving her nowhere to hide!

She closed her eyes, suppressing the pain in them, and said with difficulty, "Jingting, I know there's nothing I can hide from you. I also admit I have selfish motives. I've thought about aborting the child, but the doctor said my body won't allow it. If I have an abortion, I might become infertile for life. I don't dare to gamble."

Zhan Jingting leaned back in his chair. "It would be best if you could admit it. I hate being lied to the most. Since this child came into this world through deception, I cannot accept it. I'll give you two choices. First, the child is mine, but you must promise never to see him again, and never let anyone else know that this is your child."

"Second, you can take the children and leave. I will provide alimony, but you are never allowed to appear in my life again."

"Jingting, you're too cruel!" Wen Xue exclaimed in disbelief. "This child is the apple of my eye. I can't possibly give him to you. I brought him back to you not to ask for child support!"

"So you just want him to have the fatherly love he lacks?"

“That’s right, I said it before, my child is everything to me. I’m willing to do anything for his own good,” Wen Xue said firmly. “Don’t worry, as soon as Eleven’s condition improves, I will take him away immediately and will absolutely not disturb your happy life!”

Qiao Wanwan: "..." How did she end up being dragged into this for no reason?

After a moment's thought, Zhan Jingting said, "I can promise you that I can stay in Wutong Bay for half a month during the National Day holiday. I hope that after half a month, you can keep your word and never show up again."

Wen Xue pursed her lips tightly. "Okay."

No one touched their chopsticks at lunch, and the meal ended on a sour note.

After getting into the car, Qiao Wanwan was finally able to speak, "Actually, I quite understand Wen Xue. If an abortion would lead to lifelong infertility, I might also choose to keep the child."

Zhan Jingting smiled and touched her face, "Wanwan, don't believe everything others say."

Qiao Wanwan: "......"

"What do you mean? Could it be that Wen Xue is lying to me?"

“Your upbringing is different, even diametrically opposed. Even if she wanted to be as pure as you, she couldn’t, because her surname is Wen, hence Wanwan. You must remember, no one in a wealthy family is simple.”

"Including today, do you really think that Wen Xue and we met by chance? She just got anxious because I hadn't gone to see her for a long time, so she took the initiative to show up."

Qiao Wanwan suddenly realized, "Zhan Jingting, you have such high emotional intelligence."

Why do you say that?

"Because people with high emotional intelligence will say I'm innocent, while people with low emotional intelligence will say I'm stupid."

Zhan Jingting: "......"

"Madam Zhan is very self-aware."

Qiao Wanwan laughed so hard she almost fell over. "You really think I'm stupid!"

"You admitted it yourself first."

After joking and laughing for a while, Qiao Wanwan got back to the main topic, "Are you really not going to take the National Day holiday?"

“Wanwan, we will have our own child,” Zhan Jingting said. “Don’t let the arrival of this child change anything.”

“I didn’t say that. I just felt that your mother would definitely not agree. She’s been longing for a grandson so much that she’s almost gone crazy. Now that she’s finally got one, how could she give it up so easily?”

Zhan Jingting was quite troubled. "I will try to persuade her, but in short, there is no room for negotiation on this matter."

Qiao Wanwan didn't know what to say. She had mixed feelings about Eleven. She liked the child, but she wasn't a saint. Whenever she saw him, she would think that he was Zhan Jingting's child with another woman, and she always felt a bit uneasy.

Moreover, whether or not Shi Yi stays or leaves is not something she can decide.

The two returned to Wutong Bay. Eleven came running over with his short legs and hugged Qiao Wanwan's leg. "Sister Wanwan, why did you take so long to come back? I was so bored!"

Qiao Wanwan: "......"

She smiled and picked him up, saying, "You're the most carefree person your age. I envy you."

Eleven's eyes lit up. "Then do you admire me?"

"...maybe a little."

"That's wonderful! Adoration is the foundation of love, and you'll soon fall in love with me!"
