Chapter 6 I Have No Plans to Have an Illegitimate Child
Jiang Shibai opened the medicine bag and found more than a dozen pregnancy test sticks inside. He suspected that Wang Bai had bought all the brands of pregnancy test sticks from nearby pharmacies.
Wang Bai: As a special assistant, I naturally have to consider all aspects.
Xu Xian glanced at the pregnancy test stick in the eye medicine bag and was also confused.
Do you need so much?
After taking a few glances, Jiang Shibai handed all the pregnancy test sticks to Xu Xian, "Pick a few to test. Over there is my lounge, there is a bathroom inside."
After saying that, he raised his chin towards the secret door next to the bookcase.
Xu Xian gripped the hand rope tightly, looked in the direction he was looking, and then seemed to muster up the courage to walk in that direction. When his hand touched the door, he felt a sense of retreat and turned to look at Jiang Shibai.
She didn't want to get pregnant herself.
Seeing that she was uneasy, Jiang Shibai simply stood up and walked towards her step by step. When he was beside her, he slowly said, "Don't be afraid. We can face any outcome."
As soon as he finished speaking, he opened the secret door of the lounge for her and followed her in.
Xu Xian didn't bother looking around his lounge, so he went straight to the bathroom and took out several pregnancy test sticks, intending to test them all together to increase the accuracy.
Jiang Shibai did not leave. He leaned against the wall beside the bathroom door, supported on one leg, with his head down, not knowing what he was thinking. Then he walked to the bedside table, picked up the cigarette box and took out a cigarette.
He doesn't smoke often, but when he's upset, it's his way of relieving stress.
The silver lighter in his palm ignited with a "click", and the golden flame kept dancing. Jiang Shibai pinched the cigarette butt with two fingers and moved closer. His slender knuckles contrasted particularly well with the cigarette. When the distance was only one centimeter, he stopped.
Finally, the cigarette was put back into the box, the flames died down, he thought for a moment, and then the two items were thrown into the trash can.
In the bathroom, Xu Xian followed the instructions one by one, and arranged five pregnancy test sticks one by one on the sink, waiting for the results to be displayed.
Every minute and every second was extremely unbearable. She stared at the reading area of the pregnancy test stick almost without blinking. The first one had already shown the result, one deep and one shallow.
One dark and one shallow means possible pregnancy, but it is not a 100% guarantee.
Seeing this, she held on to a glimmer of hope and waited for the results of the remaining few pregnancy test sticks, until the two red lines on the last two pregnancy test sticks appeared, breaking her heart.
"Pah—" In her panic, she accidentally knocked one of them over. Just as she squatted down to pick it up, she heard a low voice outside the door asking, "Are you okay?"
Xu Xian responded in a panic, his voice trembling unconsciously, "It's okay, it's okay."
Jiang Shibai stood at the door and heard something was wrong. Before he could think about it, the door was opened from the inside. He saw that uneasy face, which looked up at him cautiously, with panic in its eyes.
He lowered his eyes and stared at the pregnancy test stick in her hand. Looking at the glaring red color on it, he had the answer in his heart.
After a while, Jiang Shibai spoke. Only he knew the hoarseness in his voice. His palm trembled slightly, "Let's talk."
"good."
Until he sat face to face with Jiang Shibai at the desk, Xu Xian still hadn't figured out how to deal with the baby in her belly, let alone what he was thinking.
She raised her eyes in panic and met those thoughtful eyes. Seeing him staring at her, Xu Xian's heart almost jumped out of her chest. Her slender fingers tugged at her shirt, which was wrinkled.
The two looked at each other in silence, and the air was filled with a bit of silence. After staring at each other quietly for a minute, Jiang Shibai spoke first: "I have no plans to have an illegitimate child."
The man spoke in a deep voice, without any hint of joking. He pronounced each word precisely, and the look he gave her was terrifyingly calm.
Xu Xian's eyelids twitched, and she suddenly clenched her palms, sweat breaking out on her palms. She actually had the answer in her heart.
Anyone who is raped would be unhappy to have an illegitimate child. It is a great shame in life.
She has no feelings for the baby in her belly, and even if she gives birth to it, she cannot afford to raise it, and her current job may be ruined.
"I understand what you mean. If you don't want the child, I can go to the hospital for surgery. But I hope you can bear half of the surgery fee and subsequent nutrition fee." Xu Xian looked at him nervously.
After all, the incident was caused by her, and Jiang Shibai suffered completely unprovoked. It was a bit shameless for her to ask him to bear half of the expenses.
But she was about to lose her job, and her savings had other uses. She was leaving anyway, so it didn't matter if she was rude to him again, as she would never meet him again in the future.
Thinking of this, Xu Xian plucked up her courage and looked at Jiang Shibai firmly. She was preoccupied with her own thoughts and didn't notice the surprise in Jiang Shibai's eyes at all.
He had experienced her straightforwardness and cruelty, but he didn't expect that she was also quite greedy for money.
But the cost that night was indeed very tight.
Seeing that she was waiting for an answer, Jiang Shibai tapped his well-proportioned fingers on the table, leaned forward slightly, and said word by word: "But I don't mind being the heir."
"Ah?" Xu Xian blinked his fox eyes, and his slightly curved pupils suddenly became a little rounder, which was very cute. He looked like a lost little fox, panicked and confused.
"You mean I should give birth to this child?"
Jiang Shibai said "hmm" nonchalantly, his dark eyes never leaving hers, observing the changes in her expression.
After getting a positive answer, Xu Xian lowered his eyes in thought, his fingers inadvertently touching the flat belly, inside which was a small life.
As the person in charge of the Jiang Group, Jiang Shibai is fully capable of raising a child healthily, but she doesn't understand why he chooses to keep the child.
Jiang Group is the leader in domestic medical equipment with a market value of hundreds of billions of dollars. Jiang Shibai himself is the youngest billionaire in the top ten of the Forbes global list. He is surrounded by beautiful women and celebrities, and there is no shortage of women who can give birth to his children.
And if she understood correctly, Jiang Shibai didn't want to give her some money so that she could disappear from their world after giving birth to the child, right?
Thinking of this, Xu Xian suddenly felt that this deal was worth cooperating with. If she gave birth to a child, she would definitely lose a large sum of salary, and her meager savings were not enough to cover the bottomless pit of the hospital.
If she could get some money from Jiang Shibai, her urgent needs could be completely solved.
It's just the baby in my belly...
"Can I ask you why you kept the child?"
Xu Xian seriously suspected that Jiang Shibai might have already married, and for some reason, he was unable to have children. Otherwise, keeping the child in her belly would be an obstacle for him.
"What do you think the reason is?" Jiang Shibai saw that the expression on her face changed unpredictably in a short period of time, and suddenly he wanted to tease her.
Xu Xian pursed his red lips, faced that unfathomable gaze, and timidly spoke, "Is it because your wife is infertile? Or is it because the elders in your family are urging you to have a child?"
She could only think of these two plausible reasons.
Jiang Shibai chuckled when he heard this, and raised his thin lips slightly, "I think Miss Xu may have misunderstood what I meant."
"I mean, let's get married."
