Chapter 148: Rifts of Holes
I forced a smile and continued, "I don't want to be a burden to you anymore, and I don't want to cause any conflicts between you and your son because of me. I...I'd better leave."
Jiang Yichen heard this, and a trace of pain and struggle flashed in his eyes. He said self-deprecatingly: "I knew that no matter what happens to Yi Qing, you will still abandon me first."
"I..." I wanted to explain, but the words that came to my lips seemed pale and powerless. The next second, Jiang Yichen tightly grasped my wrist.
His eyes were firm, and his tone was threatening: "You owe me so much money, don't even think about leaving until you pay it back."
I tried to rip his grip free, but to no avail.
I took a deep breath and looked at him firmly: "Even if I leave, I will pay you back regularly."
Jiang Yichen was silent for a moment after hearing this, but he still didn't let go of my wrist.
His eyes were complicated, as if he was weighing something.
Just at this moment, when several people were arguing, a man who looked like a servant hurried over.
"Master, the old lady left a message for you and...that young lady to stay at the Jiang family overnight, and she also said that she had asked someone to clean up the room for them."
When Jiang Yichen heard this, a complicated look flashed in his eyes. He turned around and looked at me, as if telling me: Grandma is in poor health, and she will be very sad if you go against her decision.
I frowned, the party had turned into such a mess, I actually didn't want to stay any longer, but...
When I think about how good my grandma is to me, I really can't bear it.
After a long moment, I nodded slightly to show that I accepted the arrangement.
Seeing this, Jiang Yichen immediately let go of my wrist and turned to look at Grandpa Jiang and Aunt Jiang with a warning look: "Did you hear that? Grandma asked us to stay overnight. You'd better not touch her again, otherwise you will bear the consequences."
After saying that, Jiang Yichen took me away without any hesitation.
We followed the servant to the room that grandma had prepared for us. Along the way, my tense nerves finally relaxed.
"Where are we going now?"
Jiang Yichen did not answer.
Jiang Yichen took me all the way into his room and ordered in an unquestionable tone: "You sleep here tonight."
I pointed to the gray and white room and guessed, "Is this your room?"
"Is there a problem?" Jiang Yichen raised his eyebrows and asked coldly.
I quickly shook my head, afraid of being scolded again.
I carefully observed the layout of the room. It was simple and warm, just like Jiang Yichen's taste.
My eyes inadvertently swept across the wall and found that it was covered with photos. Driven by curiosity, I walked closer to take a closer look and unexpectedly found many photos of myself. At that time, I was still a little girl with a bright smile.
I was extremely surprised and turned to look at Jiang Yichen, asking in confusion, "How did you get these photos?"
Jiang Yichen's eyes flickered slightly, he took the photo, then gently held my hand and asked in a low voice: "Where is the gift grandma gave you?"
I forgot the question in an instant, and suddenly remembered that the gift my grandma gave me was still in the old witch's hand. I quickly said, "It's with your aunt."
I turned around and was about to run to the aunt to ask for the jade, but Jiang Yichen pulled me back.
"Where are you going?"
"Go get the jade token!"
Jiang Yichen just smiled lightly, took out the jade pendant from the drawer, and handed it to me: "I'll give this back to you."
I looked at the familiar jade pendant with mixed feelings.
I shook my head and refused, "I can't accept it, so you should keep it yourself. When you marry Lin Nan, you can give it to her. After all, this is a gift from grandma to her granddaughter-in-law."
When I mentioned Lin Nan, my tone unconsciously took on a hint of bitterness.
However, Jiang Yichen's face darkened instantly. He stuffed the jade pendant into my hand and said in a tough tone, "It's not your turn to arrange anything. I want you to keep this jade pendant."
Jiang Yichen frowned, his face showing a fierce look, and said in a deep voice: "As long as the jade is alive, the person will live. If the jade is gone, you will not live anymore."
I glared at him and agreed repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes..."
His temper changes from good to bad. I'm really afraid that if I make him angry, he will really kill me.
My eyes fell on the bed, then looked at Jiang Yichen, and asked tentatively: "Where are you staying tonight?"
"What do you think about the room grandma arranged for us?" Jiang Yichen loosened his tie, raised a wicked smile and said jokingly.
I pouted and picked up the quilt from the bed to spread on the sofa, "Then I'll sleep on the sofa."
Jiang Yichen rushed over and threw you and the quilt onto the bed. Then, he pressed on you, with a teasing look in his eyes: "I just promised grandma that she would hold her great-grandson. How can you hold her if you go to sleep on the sofa?"
I tried to push Jiang Yichen away, but his arms were as strong as iron clamps, preventing me from moving.
I got a little angry and blurted out, "Jiang Yichen, you're going to marry Lin Nan soon, so why don't you let her give birth to eight or ten children for you?"
Jiang Yichen's eyes flashed, and he was obviously displeased with what I said.
He said in a deep voice: "You don't need to worry about these things, just do your own thing."
My anger was completely ignited, and my voice became louder: "How can I not worry? I was forced to be a lover, but my child cannot be a illegitimate child! I can't let my child grow up without a legitimate status!"
Jiang Yichen looked at me, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.
He spoke slowly, with a hint of helplessness in his tone: "What do you think you can decide? It doesn't matter to me whether it's an illegitimate child or a legitimate child. What matters is that this child must be yours."
I was stunned, looking at Jiang Yichen's determined eyes, and an inexplicable panic surged in my heart.
Could it be that in Jiang Yichen's heart, I and the child I gave birth to have occupied an irreplaceable position?
I frowned, feeling a little confused.
Jiang Yichen sighed softly, smoothed my brows with his hands, held me in his arms, and said in a low and gentle voice: "Okay, don't think about it anymore."
There was an unmistakable tenderness in his tone that I couldn't refuse.
I finally chose to remain silent, feeling a little confused.
Jiang Yichen stared at me closely, his eyes revealing an indescribable emotion, as if he could see through your heart: "Have you always thought that I am an illegitimate child, so you look down on me?"
I was shocked and realized that what I just said might have touched his sensitive point.
I quickly shook my head and explained anxiously: "No, I don't look down on you. But..."
At this point, I suddenly stopped, because I know that I had humiliated him many times with the word "illegitimate child" before, and he chose to endure it every time, but his heart must have been broken by me!
