Shen Yanxi stood there, stunned, staring at He Lingchuan in disbelief.
"What, what did you say?"
Shen Yanxi's nails dug deep into her palms. She took a deep breath, her face turning pale.
Say it again.
He Lingchuan seemed oblivious to her disappointed expression and said without hesitation, "I said I never thought about not having children. The only person I don't want is you."
He Lingchuan spread his hands, and at this point, he didn't mind being a little more blunt: "Let's not even talk about whether Zhou Mingyan can give me this 100 million. Even if he doesn't, does that mean we can still be together?"
He Lingchuan had always felt that Shen Yanxi's attitude was very strange, but only now did he realize that Shen Yanxi seemed to have been trying to get back together with him.
He chuckled self-deprecatingly: "Don't be naive. Do you think there's any chance we could still be together now?"
Shen Yanxi bit her lower lip tightly until she tasted blood before she spoke: "Who said I wanted to be with you? Stop being so narcissistic."
He Lingchuan stared at Shen Yanxi's shifty eyes, deliberately feigning a puzzled expression: "Then what have you been up to all this time?"
Wasn't she trying to make amends with him?
He Lingchuan leaned back in his chair and looked down at Shen Yanxi: "Don't tell me you're just bored and want to cause me trouble."
Shen Yanxi felt embarrassed, as if she had been seen through. She raised her head and looked down at He Lingchuan.
She wouldn't allow herself to lose to this man, whether it was in love or in arguments.
"I did it for the children. Otherwise, why do you think I would forgive you for doing these stupid things again and again?"
Her ability to be sarcastic only grew stronger; with just a few simple words, she completely silenced He Lingchuan.
"He Lingchuan, you are truly the most narcissistic man I have ever met. Mingyan is back, what makes you think I would give up Mingyan for you?"
Shen Yanxi bent down, looking directly into He Lingchuan's eyes with disdain: "You think too highly of yourself."
He Lingchuan raised an eyebrow and shrugged nonchalantly: "That's better. Otherwise, I'd have to worry about whether you still have feelings for me, which would be a hassle for me too."
After saying the last word, He Lingchuan stood up, stared into Shen Yanxi's eyes, and said gently, "Now can you let me see the child?"
Don't even think about it.
Shen Yanxi took two steps back, blocking the doorway, and looked at He Lingchuan with impatience: "You're willing to abandon your child for money, you've long since lost the right to see them."
"I don't believe Zhou Mingyan can give me 100 million."
That man is obsessed with money. If it weren't for the money, would he have come to find Shen Yanxi?
Only Shen Yanxi couldn't see anything and still thought Zhou Mingyan was sincere towards her.
He Lingchuan grabbed Shen Yanxi's hand and explained to her somewhat anxiously, "Besides, he was the one who offered to give me 100 million. I was just going along with what he said."
“I’ve heard the recording, and you’re still being stubborn.”
Shen Yanxi shook off He Lingchuan's hand and refused to mention the child again.
He Lingchuan knew her too well; once she made up her mind, there was no turning back.
He Lingchuan took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down: "Then what do you want me to do to see the child?"
"You'll never get the chance in your life."
Shen Yanxi's tone was cold, and she didn't seem to be joking.
She turned to leave, but as soon as she pushed open the door, her body suddenly dangled in mid-air.
He Lingchuan wrapped his arms around her waist from behind and lifted her up in his arms.
Shen Yanxi was startled and struggled desperately, but He Lingchuan pinned her to the bed: "Can you calm down?"
Shen Yanxi is not listening to anything now. No matter how she tries to explain, she is determined to give up the child.
How can you expect me to calm down?
Shen Yanxi placed her hands on He Lingchuan's shoulders, her eyes filled with disappointment: "He Lingchuan, I never intended for you to compensate the Shen family for their losses. You insisted on taking the entire 100 million yuan upon yourself."
Shen Yanxi frowned: "At first I found it strange that you would be so impulsive. Now it seems that you had planned this all along. You just wanted to use the excuse of paying back the money to leave me and the child, and then be with Cao Xue."
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
He Lingchuan grew increasingly agitated, and the pressure on his hands increased: "This is a matter between the two of us, what does it have to do with Cao Xue?"
"You dare say you weren't doing this for her?"
"What do I have to be afraid of?"
He Lingchuan answered the question in turn. After saying that, he added, "Even if I really did it for Cao Xue, what does it have to do with you? You don't think that I can't find other women after we divorce, do you?"
He Lingchuan unconsciously tightened his grip: "Shen Yanxi, how can you be so domineering?"
When they first got together, He Lingchuan didn't even have female clients' phone numbers in his phone.
Now that they've broken up, how is it possible that Shen Yanxi is demanding that he act like before and not contact any women?
He Lingchuan looked down into Shen Yanxi's eyes and said before she could speak, "Shen Yanxi, we're already divorced. Even without Cao Xue, there would be other women. Does that mean you'll get angry and cause trouble whenever a woman appears in my life?"
He Lingchuan deliberately misinterpreted her meaning: "You're not jealous, are you?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Shen Yanxi struggled to get up, but He Lingchuan pressed her down tightly.
She frowned and glared at He Lingchuan: "Let me go, or do you believe I'll call for help?"
Shen Yanxi struck He Lingchuan's back, but he seemed not to feel any pain.
"Take me to see the child and I'll let you go."
He Lingchuan had a premonition that Shen Yanxi really didn't intend to let him see the child.
Hearing his words, Shen Yanxi sneered: "Don't even think about it."
She snorted coldly, deliberately provoking He Lingchuan: "Just like you said, who you're with and who you marry has nothing to do with me, so where I send my child has nothing to do with you either."
Shen Yanxi raised her hand and grabbed He Lingchuan's shoulder, trying to push him away. She talked incessantly, and every word she said felt like a sharp blade piercing He Lingchuan's heart: "But in your current state, I don't think any woman would want to be with you. Do you think Cao Xue really likes you? She just wants someone to talk to. You're just a second-hand item that I kicked out. You'll never be as good as Mingyan in this lifetime."
He Lingchuan narrowed his eyes, his gaze towards Shen Yanxi gradually turning cold.
Shen Yanxi couldn't help but shiver. Just as she was about to speak, she was interrupted by a cell phone ringing.
He Lingchuan pressed her down: "I don't mind wasting time with you. If you're not afraid of Zhou Mingyan seeing us in this position, then keep being stubborn."
He Lingchuan casually picked up his phone, pressed the call button, and before he could speak, a cheerful female voice came from the other end: "Brother Lingchuan, have you been avoiding me lately?"
