Chapter 166: Don’t want a child if it’s not Shen Zhichu’s
"No, I don't agree." Xia Mingyue stood up suddenly, tears streaming down her face.
She choked and said, "Depth of Field, I'm not here to talk about breaking up with you. I'm just very scared. You don't know how scared I am of losing you. I have nightmares every night, dreaming that you don't want me anymore."
Li Jingshen glanced at Xia Mingyue's tearful eyes, and his heart was slightly touched. He took a deep breath and put out the cigarette in his hand that he had not had time to smoke.
"I promised you that I would divorce Shen Zhichu and marry you."
Xia Mingyue asked with tears in her eyes, "How long do we have to wait?"
"Wait until Shen Zhichu gives birth."
What if Shen Zhichu can't have children for the rest of her life? Does that mean she'll have to live like this for the rest of her life?
Xia Mingyue didn't dare to ask this. She had a hunch that Li Jingshen would get angry if she said this. She said tactfully, "Jingshen, we don't necessarily have to have her child. We can find someone else..."
Li Jingshen frowned: "That is illegal. Shen Zhichu is my nominal wife. It is only natural for her to give birth to the child. As long as she gives birth to the child, the custody of the child will definitely belong to me."
Xia Mingyue no longer knew whether she should believe him or not. She wiped the tears from her face, her throat choking with difficulty: "Are you telling the truth?"
Li Jingshen leaned over and turned her face to face him. "Mingyue, you can only trust me, right? We'll go to court on Wednesday, and Shen Zhichu will definitely use you as a witness. When the time comes, I won't need to teach you what to say, right?"
The momentary warmth disappeared, and what else could Xia Mingyue say? She could only nod in agreement.
If she didn't agree, based on Li Jingshen's current attitude towards her, the relationship would definitely end. When she thought about Li Jingshen no longer being in her life, she felt unwilling to accept it. She was unwilling to accept that her relationship of more than ten years would be shattered because of Shen Zhichu.
"I'll agree to anything as long as I can be with you." Xia Mingyue leaned in his arms and murmured to herself.
After coaxing her for a while, Li Jingshen called the driver to send Xia Mingyue back.
He stood at the floor-to-ceiling window, looking in the direction where the car disappeared, thinking about what Xia Mingyue had asked him just now.
Why must the child be born by Shen Zhichu?
He couldn't explain why, but it seemed that children born by someone other than Shen Zhichu were not acceptable, and he would rather not have children born by other women.
………
Shen Zhichu felt vaguely uneasy and had nightmares for several nights in a row, dreaming that Li Jingshen locked her in a dark cage.
Shen Zhichu's spirit was tortured and became weaker and weaker. He got up listlessly in the morning and took his temperature, which was 38 degrees with a low fever.
The trial was about to begin and he must not get sick at this time. Shen Zhichu went to the hospital to get cold medicine. After meeting Su Miao, he chatted with her about the case.
It felt like it would be useless to prepare for a lawsuit with Li Jingshen no matter how thorough the preparation was. Shen Zhichu didn't want to make Su Miao worry, so he didn't go into details.
Su Miao interrupted with a digression: "Where did you go when you left in such a hurry that afternoon? And why did you end up in the hospital again?"
Su Miao had wanted to ask a long time ago, but she said on the phone that she was afraid it would be inconvenient for Shen Zhichu, so she kept putting it off until she came to the hospital to get cold medicine.
"It's nothing. Shen Xiuli owed 10 million in the casino, and the other party asked me to use the money to exchange for someone." Shen Zhichu evaded the main point and talked about what happened that day.
"Which casino?" Su Miao asked.
Shen Zhichu said lightly: “Chengdu underground casino.”
Su Miao's usually calm face froze after hearing what Shen Zhichu said. "You are really brave. You dare to go to that place alone. So, were the injuries on you caused by Chen Jiaxing? He didn't hurt you, did he?"
"How do you know it's Chen Jiaxing?" Shen Zhichu's eyes flashed with surprise. She only said that she went to the casino to exchange Shen Xiuli for someone, and didn't mention who it was. Su Miao guessed that it was Chen Jiaxing who went to the hospital?
Su Miao lowered her voice and said, "The night you went to the hospital, Chen Jiaxing had an accident. He was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment and saved his life."
