Chapter 68 I suggest you have an abortion
When Lin Xiyin received Chi Tianlin's message, her first instinct was to refuse.
Firstly, she genuinely didn't want to go; even though they were friends now, they weren't that close.
Secondly, she hasn't divorced Pei Muye yet, and having private contact with Chi Tianlin still feels a bit off.
She didn't reply to the message, so Chi Tianlin called her directly.
"What, you want to back out?" Chi Tianlin asked, "Is it really that difficult to have a meal with friends?"
Lin Xiyin said, "No... I've really been busy lately."
"I don't believe that people are so busy that they don't even have time to eat. The Premier is extremely busy, but he still has time to eat."
Lin Xiyin was speechless: "You can't compare them like that."
"I don't care, I'm going to have dinner with you tonight."
“You can’t force friends like that,” Lin Xiyin said. “Friendship is based on equality, you know?”
"I don't know. All I know is that you and Xiao Ruoyi often meet and eat together. Why is it different when it comes to me?"
Lin Xiyin had no choice but to say, "You and Pei Muye don't have a good relationship. I'm still his wife. It's not good for me to have dinner with you in public like this."
"You're afraid of that?" Chi Tianlin said. "Alright, I'll find a place with good privacy, is that alright?"
"Can I invite Yiyi to come along?"
"Lin Xiyin, don't push your luck!"
Lin Xiyin said helplessly, "It's so awkward to have just the two of us eating."
"What's so awkward?" Chi Tianlin said, "Don't make a fuss. I'll send you the location, just come on time!"
Lin Xiyin had no choice but to reply with "OK" after receiving the location.
Lin Xiyin then called Xiao Ruoyi: "Chi Tianlin invited me to dinner."
Xiao Ruoyi was in a good mood: "Go ahead, he wouldn't dare do anything to you."
"I know, I just feel awkward," Lin Xiyin said. "I told him I'd invite you, but he wouldn't let me."
"Don't call me, I'm busy," Xiao Ruoyi said. "I just signed a contract with Huo Xianyang, I'm busy."
"Another contract has been signed?"
"Yes, let his legal team protect my company."
Lin Xiyin asked curiously, "Didn't you say you didn't want any contact with him?"
Xiao Ruoyi was silent for a few seconds, then said, "There's nothing I can do, he gave too much."
Lin Xiyin chuckled: "That's great."
"What's so good about it?" Xiao Ruoyi cautioned her, "There are some things pregnant women can't eat. Chi Tianlin doesn't know you're pregnant, so you need to be careful."
"I see."
Xiao Ruoyi hung up the phone, turned around, and was startled: "When did you get here!"
Huo Xianyang looked at her: "You mean when you were pregnant?"
Before Xiao Ruoyi could say anything, he asked again, "Is Lin Xiyin pregnant?"
Xiao Ruoyi hummed in agreement.
"Chi Tianlin doesn't know?"
"Whether he knows it or not, what does it matter?"
Huo Xianyang took out his phone: "Never mind, I'll just tell him, just in case he tries anything..."
He put down his phone again: "Wait a minute, Lin Xiyin is pregnant, then what about her divorce..."
Xiao Ruoyi rolled her eyes at him: "Mind your own business when it comes to beautiful women."
Having no other option, he sent a message to Chi Tianlin.
The location posted by Chi Tianlin is indeed quite remote; it's a small private kitchen.
It looks ordinary from the outside, but once you go inside, you'll find a hidden gem.
With its small bridges, flowing water, pavilions, and towers, it resembles a miniature Jiangnan region.
Lin Xiyin had never even heard of her before, let alone been here.
The waitresses, all dressed in cheongsams, were all beautiful and tall women who led Lin Xiyin inside with smiles and laughter.
They led her into a more antique-style and luxurious private room.
Chi Tianlin has arrived.
He sat there, exuding an air of nobility and aloofness. He didn't wear his shirt properly, unbuttoning two or three buttons, which added a touch of languor and sexiness to his appearance.
It was very hot in the private room, and Lin Xiyin took off her down jacket as soon as she came in.
Chi Tianlin shifted his gaze from his phone to Lin Xiyin.
Lin Xiyin sat opposite him and thought, "How come this man is even more handsome after not seeing him for a few days?"
However, she asked curiously, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
She couldn't see through Chi Tianlin's gaze.
Chi Tianlin suddenly scoffed and threw his phone on the table.
Lin Xiyin knew that he had a bad temper and was unpredictable.
Therefore, she doesn't want to be friends with people like that.
She was afraid that if she went back on her word about being friends that day, Chi Tianlin would kill her.
But the way he looks today, it's obvious something's wrong.
Who upset him?
"What's wrong?" Following the principle that good friends should care about each other, Lin Xiyin asked him, "Is something the matter?"
"Lin Xiyin, is your brain completely underdeveloped, and your cerebellum incompletely developed?"
Lin Xiyin was inexplicably scolded: "What are you doing? Why are you swearing at me for no reason?"
"Scolding you is the least of my worries. If I were Xiao Ruoyi, I would have hit you too," Chi Tianlin said. "In my world, there's no such thing as not being able to hit a woman!"
"Yes, I know you hit women. You're so tough." Lin Xiyin said, "What, are you going to hit me?"
"I won't fight," Chi Tianlin said. "If I were blind, I'd be friends with you."
"It's not too late to regret it now," Lin Xiyin said. "Shall we break off our friendship?"
"Lin Xiyin!" Chi Tianlin slammed his hand on the table. "Tell me, are you stupid?"
"What did I do wrong? Explain yourself clearly."
Lin Xiyin shouted at him.
Lin Xiyin almost laughed.
She belatedly realized that she seemed to be no longer afraid of Chi Tianlin.
To be honest, she used to keep her distance from Chi Tianlin, not just because Pei Muye and Chi Tianlin had a bad relationship.
More importantly, Chi Tianlin is unpredictable, capricious, and has no regard for rules or regulations.
He decides everything based on his mood.
It's just...unreliable.
Being around such a person requires constant vigilance and trepidation.
Who wants to be friends with him?
Lin Xiyin never expected that at this moment, at this day, she and Chi Tianlin would be able to call each other friends.
Chi Tianlin, feeling irritated, wanted to smoke: "You're pregnant?"
Lin Xiyin was taken aback.
She initially wanted to keep her pregnancy a secret from the Pei family.
Later, when Pei Muyi found out, he stopped hiding it.
I never expected that Chi Tianlin knew all about it.
He explained, "Huo Xianyang told me."
How did Huo Xianyang find out?
They must have gotten the information from Xiao Ruoyi.
Lin Xiyin did not deny it: "Yes, I am pregnant."
"That's why I said you're a... idiot!" Chi Tianlin swallowed the "B" in his mouth. Although he didn't know why, he just couldn't be so vulgar in front of Lin Xiyin.
"What's wrong with me?" Lin Xiyin asked. "Is it not allowed even though I'm pregnant?"
Are you getting a divorce?
"yes."
"You're pregnant now, and you still want a divorce?"
“There’s no conflict,” Lin Xiyin said. “Whether I’m pregnant or not, I’m going to get a divorce.”
"He agreed?"
Lin Xiyin fell silent.
Chi Tianlin scoffed, "I knew it!"
“I’m trying,” Lin Xiyin said. “Pregnancy won’t affect my decision.”
"Let's not even talk about whether your efforts will be useful." Chi Tianlin looked at her: "Why do you want to have Pei Muye's child? You're already planning to divorce him, and you still want to have his child?"
“This is also my child.”
"You don't need to say anything irrelevant," Chi Tianlin said. "No woman would willingly have a child with a man she doesn't love!"
"According to your logic, all women in the world marry for love? All women who give birth deeply love their husbands."
Chi Tianlin said, "That's not quite right. It's not like that. Your situation is different from theirs. You're getting a divorce!"
"So what if I'm divorced? Does a divorce mean I can't have children? It's true this child belongs to Pei Muye, but he's also mine. He's inside me now, a part of my flesh and blood..."
“You don’t need to make it sound so high-sounding…” Chi Tianlin looked at her: “You really are sharp-tongued.”
“I’m telling the truth,” Lin Xiyin said. “I want a divorce, I’m pregnant, and I want to have this child. In your opinion, I never wanted to divorce Pei Muyi at all, right?”
“If you really want to divorce him, then go all the way and have an abortion. I don’t believe he would want a wife who would even abort her child. But if you choose to keep the child, it’s hard not to suspect that you still have feelings for the child’s father.”
“What you said makes sense, it’s only human nature, I have nothing to say,” Lin Xiyin said. “But I really want a divorce, and I don’t want to have any contact with him anymore.”
"Even if you divorce him after you have children, so what? You have children, that's the connection, the bond, the children will tie you together."
"I haven't thought about those things yet..."
“Then I’ll think about it for you,” Chi Tianlin said. “I’m only saying this to you as a friend.”
"Then thank you."
"Don't be like that," Chi Tianlin snapped. "Do you think I was just saying I wanted to be friends with you?"
Lin Xiyin looked at his face. At this moment, his handsome face no longer showed any schadenfreude, but rather a nonchalant and indifferent attitude.
He was genuinely worried about himself.
Upon realizing this, Lin Xiyin felt inexplicably moved.
She never imagined that one day she would actually become friends with Chi Tianlin.
Moreover, Chi Tianlin genuinely cares about her.
It's a truly fantastical and unbelievable story.
But that's the truth.
Lin Xiyin suddenly laughed.
"What are you laughing at!" Chi Tianlin's expression was not good. "How can you still laugh at a time like this! Lin Xiyin, do you know how stupid you are!"
Lin Xiyin stopped laughing: "If you keep swearing, I'm really going to break off all ties with you!"
"That's because you're stupid..." Chi Tianlin's voice grew softer and softer, and the last word "stupid" was almost inaudible.
"Thank you." Lin Xiyin looked at him straighten her back. "Chi Tianlin, thank you."
Chi Tianlin awkwardly touched his nose, his gaze wandering around, avoiding Lin Xiyin's eyes: "Why are you thanking me?"
"Thank you for caring about me so much," Lin Xiyin said with a smile. "Thank you for really treating me as a friend."
"What, you think I'm playing you?" Chi Tianlin said, "Do you think the same way Huo Xianyang does, that I only want to be friends with you because of Pei Muye? That I'm getting close to you just to embarrass Pei Muye?"
"That was indeed my initial thought."
Chi Tianlin lowered his eyes: "To be honest, that's what I thought at first too."
Lin Xiyin immediately became a little angry: "You!"
"But not anymore." Chi Tianlin looked at her: "I don't know what got into me, but I actually think you're a pretty good friend!"
Lin Xiyin chuckled: "That means you have good taste."
"So, as a friend, I suggest you have an abortion. What do you think?"
