Chapter 98 Let Chen Zhichu give birth to the child and let you raise it
"You knew that a long time ago?"
A gleam of light flashed in Xia Mingyue's eyes, and she nodded and said, "Aunt Wang recently saw Shen Zhichu taking medicine, and she was curious so she took a peek. Coincidentally, her daughter-in-law was recently pregnant and taking the same kind of pregnancy-maintaining medicine."
So he was the last one to know that Shen Zhichu was pregnant? Li Jingshen felt uncomfortable, but he also didn't understand why Shen Zhichu kept it a secret from him.
Thinking of the child he had just lost, Li Jingshen felt a dull pain in his heart. He asked in a choked voice: "When did you find out?"
"Yesterday, I thought you knew it all along, so I didn't tell you." Xia Mingyue nodded and lowered her brows.
If he had known, he wouldn't have thrown Shen Zhichu down the stairs and caused her to have a miscarriage.
Xia Mingyue paused, glanced at Li Jingshen's expression, and hesitated, "Then, before Shen Zhichu pushed me downstairs today, he said something..."
"What are you talking about?"
Xia Mingyue's face was hesitant, and the more she hesitated, the more annoyed Li Jingshen became.
"I told you not to be angry. After all, Shen Zhichu just had a miscarriage."
Li Jingshen stared at her without moving his eyelids.
"She said she felt sick being with you, and also said..." Xia Mingyue said, pursing her lips and looking at him. Li Jingshen's face was tense and extremely cold at this moment, with sharp eyebrows. His shirt was wrinkled and had a lot of blood on it, which added a bit of murderous aura to him.
Xia Mingyue's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and she forced herself to calm down and said softly: "She also said that she wanted to retaliate against us. Jing Shen is not overthinking it. Since she said these words and concealed her pregnancy from you, I suspect that she deliberately had a miscarriage just to make you feel guilty."
Li Jingshen's eyes were mysterious, like stagnant water in the abyss, surging with content that she couldn't see clearly.
Li Jingshen looked calm, but in fact his hands on his thighs were clenched into fists, his knuckles were white, and the veins on his arms were throbbing. He was suppressing himself.
"Did Shen Zhichu really say that?"
Xia Mingyue nodded.
Li Jingshen pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, and in an instant he seemed to understand everything. No wonder Shen Zhichu had concealed her pregnancy from him. It turned out that she was waiting for him here.
Wanting him to feel guilty and remorseful so she could take revenge? That was a nice thought.
Li Jingshen never showed his emotions on his face. His heart was burning with anger but his face was calm. Xia Mingyue couldn't tell what his mood was at the moment, but she had achieved her goal.
She didn't believe it. Even after she said all this, Li Jingshen was still willing to be with Shen Zhichu.
"Depth of field, are you serious about what you said on the phone today about agreeing to all my conditions?"
Li Jingshen: "Well, I'll give you everything I can."
Xia Mingyue stared at him straight and said aggrievedly: "I want to marry you, I don't want to be called a lover by Shen Zhichu anymore."
Li Jingshen's eyes were cold, and suddenly he showed a half smile: "I will marry you in a year."
Xia Mingyue's body stiffened, her voice trembling with restraint: "Why wait a year?"
"Mingyue, do you like children?" Li Jingshen asked.
Xia Mingyue didn't quite understand what he meant. Speaking of children... she touched her belly. The car accident four years ago directly made her lose the qualification to be a mother.
"I like it, but I can't have my own child in this life..." Thinking of this, she resented Shen Zhichu even more! If it weren't for her, she wouldn't have had a car accident.
She had been avoiding this question for the past few years, but now that Li Jingshen suddenly asked her, she had to face it.
The Li family is not an ordinary family. The most important thing for noble families is offspring. If she can't give birth to a child... then Li Jingshen's parents will not agree to let her marry into the family.
Xia Mingyue cautiously probed: "Depth of Field, are you unwilling to divorce Shen Zhichu because I can't have children?"
Li Jingshen held Xia Mingyue's cold hand, rubbed the back of her hand with his thumb and said soothingly: "What are you thinking? If you can't have a baby, we can find a surrogate mother. When the time comes, the baby will be born and you can raise it. It will be the same as your own child. Besides, giving birth is so painful."
Li Jingshen paused and his expression suddenly turned cold. "But now we have someone ready, so there's no need to look for a surrogate."
"off the shelf?"
"Well, let Shen Zhichu give birth. We will get married after she gives birth, and you will raise her child. What do you think?" He said in a negotiating tone, but his eyes did not allow others to refuse.
Xia Mingyue was unwilling to accept this. She did say that she liked children, but it was not Shen Zhichu's turn to find a surrogate mother. What on earth was Li Jingshen thinking?
She swallowed the words that were about to come out of her throat. Li Jingshen's words had clearly told her that his thoughts would not change. Instead of wasting her breath on this matter, she might as well agree with Li Jingshen's words.
Looking at it from another angle, this is also tormenting Shen Zhichu. Thinking about being able to torture her children in the future is also a kind of fun.
