Yao Wanyin was stunned for a moment, and really wanted to refuse.
However, Yao Manning grabbed her hair!
Yao Wanyin let out a soft cry of pain, as if her scalp was being ripped off... She gritted her teeth and endured the pain, looking at Yao Manning, and managed to utter a few words with difficulty: "Sister, don't do this..."
"don't want?!"
Yao Manning's face contorted with rage, and she increased the force in her hand.
"If it weren't for you, Mom and Dad would give me all their love! I'm healthier, prettier, and more capable than you... so why should I just be your substitute?"
"Yao Wanyin, it's all because of you!"
Yao Manning tore at her frantically, yelling, "You shouldn't be alive! I'm the Yao family's daughter, I am!"
"You bitch, why don't you just die!"
"No!" Yao Wanyin cried out, tears streaming down her face.
However, she was a disabled person in a wheelchair, unable to even put up a fight.
Whenever Yao Manning was wronged by her parents, she would take it out on her. She had thought about making everything Yao Manning had done public, but Yao Manning said that if she dared to reveal a single word, she would no longer have parents.
"Yao Wanyin, now that I'm in front of my parents, they have no defenses against me! If I wanted to kill them, it would be easier than stepping on two ants!"
Yao Manning knew that Yao Wanyin's physical condition made it impossible for her to go out; she had been isolated from the world for far too long.
So no matter what you say, she'll believe it!
Yao Wanyin gritted her teeth and silently endured it.
She was afraid of losing her parents, afraid of losing the people she loved most in the world.
Moreover, Yao Manning would always make up a good story after torturing her, and even warned her not to let the maid help her bathe or wipe her body.
Her injuries were hidden from outsiders.
Even if someone discovers it, she will find an excuse to cover it up.
When her parents come to visit, she will use being unwell or other excuses to prevent them from getting close.
So nobody knows what she went through.
Sometimes Yao Wanyin felt that living like this, barely clinging to life, was worse than being dead...
Tears streamed down her cheeks as she remained silent; this was probably the only way she could protect her parents.
"Ha, what a useless piece of trash!" Yao Manning sneered.
She loosened her grip and looked at Yao Wanyin, who was disheveled like a rag doll, and only then did she feel a little better.
"Alright, I'm tired of hitting you." Yao Manning picked up a comb. "Now I'm going to dress you up properly, so don't move around!"
Yao Wanyin took a deep breath and looked at Yao Manning's devilish smile in the mirror. Fear gnawed at her whole body like insects.
When the doctors and nurses came in, they witnessed a scene of deep sisterly affection.
Yao Wanyin had a new hairstyle and was wearing makeup. Yao Manning was taking selfies with her on her phone, laughing heartily.
"The eldest young lady is so good to the second young lady!"
"Yes, the sisters' relationship is truly enviable. The eldest young lady visits the second young lady more often than the master and mistress!"
These compliments sounded particularly harsh to Yao Wanyin.
She looked up at the doctors and nurses; they were all smiling, and no one could see the sadness and plea for help in her eyes.
...
Late at night, at Xi Garden.
Jiang Can leaned lazily against Huo Zhixing's chest, feeling drowsy.
Having just finished a passionate lovemaking session, she was a little exhausted, while the man smiled contentedly as usual and gently kissed her hair.
Suddenly, a question occurred to him. He frowned and whispered in her ear:
"Can Can, in the future... we should probably take some precautions."
"Huh?" Jiang Can was still half asleep when she heard this, and was a little confused. "What do you mean?"
“I’ll take care of the measures…” Huo Zhixing smiled and whispered in her ear, “Don’t take medicine, it’s bad for your health.”
"Why are you suddenly bringing this up?" Jiang Can was taken aback. They never used any contraception, firstly because she was physically weak and had difficulty conceiving, and secondly because they wanted to let nature take its course; having a child would be the best outcome.
But now, why is he...?
Jiang Can looked slightly saddened. "You... don't want a baby anymore?"
"It's not that I don't want to," he said, gently placing his large hand on her lower abdomen. "It's that I want to wait a few years before having children."
"Why?"
"because……"
Huo Zhixing frowned slightly, wondering how to bring this up.
It all started with a dream he had one night.
In his dream, he and Jiang Can walked hand in hand through a sea of flowers. The weather was sunny, with blue skies and white clouds, and the air was filled with the fragrance of flowers.
Just as he was about to bend down and kiss her, a little bundle of flesh suddenly appeared, glaring at him with a fierce look, her chubby little arms crossed over her chest, and shouted at him, "This is my mom, you're not allowed to kiss her!"
Huo Zhixing was taken aback. Where did this little dumpling come from? But upon closer inspection, he realized it was a miniature version of himself.
"Hmph, my mom won't kiss you!" The little dumpling grabbed Jiang Can's hand, her chubby face full of hostility.
“Baby,” Huo Zhixing squatted down in front of him, trying to explain, “Your mother is my wife. If I didn’t kiss her, how would you be here?”
As he was talking, he thought the little boy was quite cute and wanted to pat his head, but the little dumpling slapped his hand away!
"That brat..."
He had just glared at her when he suddenly realized that Jiang Can was glaring at him.
"Why are you being so mean to our baby?" She picked up the child.
The little dumpling had someone to back her up, so she hugged Jiang Can's neck tightly, gave her mother a loud "kiss" on the cheek, and gave him a mischievous smile!
Huo Zhixing went completely berserk!
He rolled up his sleeves, ready to drag the kid over and teach him a lesson, when he woke up from his dream and fell into deep thought...
Considering Lu Lishan's current status in the family...
He then made a decision that went against the wishes of his ancestors—
Don't have children!
Not for now!
He doesn't want another man to steal his wife!
"Zhixing, what's wrong?" Jiang Can nudged him. "You haven't answered my question yet!"
Huo Zhixing snapped out of his reverie, his gaze softening as he pulled her into his arms. "Isn't it better to have children later?"
She's busy with work these days, and sometimes she's so tired she falls asleep as soon as her head hits the pillow, so he only gets to eat once in a long while...
If we have a child, wouldn't he be able to see it but not be able to have it?
“But…” Jiang Can leaned gently against him, “I have a weak constitution. Dr. Shen said back then that I would have difficulty getting pregnant.”
"The chances are slim, but there's still a chance!"
"You really don't want a baby?"
Her slightly disappointed look softened his heart. He smiled, ruffled her hair, and whispered, "I want some time alone with you, a little longer..."
