"How many months?" Shen Ning suddenly asked.
"What?" Li Mengqing's face flushed, but she still refused to admit it.
Shen Ning looked at her face, which had been deliberately lightly made up, but the sallowness could not be concealed, and she couldn't help but sigh.
The reason she came back today was also for Li Mengqing.
Last time, in the hotel bathroom, when she vomited, someone else vomited next to her.
She felt strange at the time because she didn't know who it was and didn't care. It wasn't until she saw Li Mengqing walking out that she understood what was going on.
Today, she is even more certain.
"Are you still going to hide this from me?" Chen Ning's eyes gradually became sharper. "Even if you can hide it from me, can you hide it from others? As the months go by, it will be impossible to hide it. Are you planning to spread rumors?"
Li Mengqing was stunned for a moment, then suddenly covered her face and burst into tears.
Shen Ning placed his hand on her back and patted it gently.
"Don't cry, tell me what's wrong." She comforted her softly.
After a while, Li Mengqing finally stopped crying.
"Boss Shen, it's been almost three months, and I don't know what to do." She sobbed.
"Hey, stop crying. It's not good for the child." Shen Ning sighed and held her hand. "You didn't even tell me about this kind of thing. You obviously treat me as an outsider. I have to criticize you."
"I'm sorry." Li Mengqing lowered her head and wiped away her tears. If she was not pregnant with Jing Chenxi's child, she would definitely tell her first, but since it was related to him, she really didn't have the courage to say it.
"The child is Jing Chenxi's, right?" Shen Ning asked at this time. Although it was a question, he used an affirmative tone.
Li Mengqing lowered her head and rubbed the hem of her clothes nervously with her fingers.
"Yes," she admitted. "That night."
"Then what are you going to do? Have you told him?" Shen Ning's eyes deepened.
Li Mengqing shook her head blankly: "I plan to give birth to the child. As for him, I don't plan to tell him."
"Why?"
"Because, because he doesn't love me at all. There's too big a gap between us and there's no future for us. And I was willing to give birth to the child. I didn't tell him because I didn't want us to be involved. I won't use the child to threaten him. This is the best outcome. It's enough for me to have a child to accompany me in this life." She said with certainty.
When talking about the child, the light in Secretary Li's eyes brightened, as if she saw hope. She sat up straight, and her whole body was filled with the radiance of maternal love and longing for the child.
Chen Ning was moved by her and smiled: "I thought so at that time, but the fact is that children want fatherly love."
The light in Li Mengqing's eyes gradually dimmed.
"I feel sorry for my child. My child will never have fatherly love." She felt very guilty.
"Not necessarily." Shen Ning disagreed, "Jing Chenxi is not an irresponsible scumbag. If he knew about the child, he would be responsible for the child."
"No, I don't want him to be responsible, nor do I want to tell him, and I don't want to use the child to morally blackmail his feelings. Let's end this matter here. We are all adults. It was my fault that night, and I have to pay for my mistake." Li Mengqing shook her head repeatedly, begging Shen Ning not to tell anyone.
"But what if he's willing to marry you?"
Li Mengqing suddenly widened her eyes and looked at Shen Ning as if she was watching a huge joke: "Boss Shen, please don't make this joke. He doesn't love me and has no feelings for me. It will never be possible for him and me. Moreover, I am not worthy of him and have never thought of marrying him. Please don't say this again in the future, please."
"I'm really not kidding. The feelings of all men and women in this world are equal, and love is sacred and inviolable. I think you and him are quite compatible. Although your family background is a little worse, Mr. Jing is not a picky person. He pays more attention to feelings. He is a good and infatuated man. I think you should fight for it, even if it's just for the sake of the child." Shen Ning analyzed seriously.
