Yu Anning smiled bitterly, "I really want a child. Li Qiqi is basically useless and can't be relied on at all. I really want an obedient and well-behaved child, a child of mine and Wen Yuan's. I dream about it all the time."

“You can’t guarantee that the second child will be obedient and well-behaved. Having a child is a gamble. There are only two kinds of children: those who repay kindness and those who seek revenge. Li Qiqi came to seek revenge, but even if you have another child, you can’t say that it will definitely be one who repays kindness. Even God can’t guarantee that.”

Ye Qingqing cruelly shattered Yu Anning's unrealistic fantasies: if you can ruin your main account, you might not be able to improve your alt account either.

Yu Anning was both amused and exasperated. Although the words were unpleasant to hear, the truth was quite real; indeed, no one could guarantee what a child would grow up to be like.

“I had no experience the first time, but now I do. I’ll retire early after having children and focus on raising them wholeheartedly. I shouldn’t ruin them this time,” Yu Anning said confidently.

With her and Qi Wenyuan's financial situation, they could definitely provide the best material life for their child, and they could also hire a nanny to take care of the child, so she wouldn't have to work too hard or get too tired.

"You should discuss this with Qi Wenyuan. Raising a child is a matter for the two of you, but I still don't recommend having one. If you have a child, you'll have to support him for at least twenty years. You're forty-eight now, and in twenty years you'll be sixty-eight, both in your seventies. Others will be holding their great-grandchildren, while your child will only be in college. This child will be at least twenty-seven or twenty-eight when he gets married and has children. You'll be almost eighty, and you'll need someone to help you walk. Think about it carefully."

Ye Qingqing painted a bleak picture of Yu Anning's future. She was now ambitious and wanted to have a child, feeling confident that she could raise the child well. But her age was a factor. Others in their seventies or eighties could have four generations under one roof, while Yu Anning and Qi Wenyuan still had to arrange blind dates for their child!

Yu Anning was stunned. Her confidence had indeed been shaken. She had been so happy before that she hadn't thought about the future at all. Ye Qingqing's words brought to mind a picture like this—

She attended her child's parent-teacher meeting with her white hair. While other parents were in their thirties or forties, young and fashionable, she looked old and haggard.

Other children would ask her child, "Is that your grandma?"

Yu Anning couldn't help but shiver, her heart grew colder, and she wasn't as enthusiastic as before, but she still couldn't bear to part with it.

A week later, Qi Wenyuan returned to China. After hearing about the child from Yu Anning, his attitude was very firm.

"No, Anning. We just need to enjoy our time together. We don't need children."

On this matter, Qi Wenyuan had no room for negotiation. Of course, he also wanted to have a child with Yu Anning, but he cared more about Yu Anning's health than the child. As a doctor, he was well aware of the risks of Yu Anning's pregnancy and childbirth, and he couldn't afford to gamble.

With Qi Wenyuan's persuasion, Yu Anning finally compromised and decided to terminate the pregnancy. However, before she could go to the hospital, an accident occurred.

When Yu Anning got up to use the toilet in the morning, she found a red stain on her underwear and a dull ache in her lower abdomen. She had a bad feeling and went to the hospital for a checkup. Sure enough, she had miscarried.

"This is the result of natural selection. Your body knows its own limits and has made the choice for you. You don't need to worry about it anymore," Ye Qingqing advised.

Since the miscarriage, Yu Anning has been in a bad mood. Even though she knows it's the law of nature, she still feels sorry for the child.
