Chapter 682 He's Going to Marry Shen Anning!
As the man approached, Shen Anning noticed the bruises around his eyes and mouth.
Stubble had sprouted on his chin.
He looked rather disheveled.
It looks like he was really badly beaten.
Shen Anning watched, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
She wanted to keep the child, but she absolutely did not intend to use the child to morally blackmail Qi Yue.
So she spoke first, "I've heard everything that happened in the past three days from my mom. I'm so sorry to have dragged you into this."
Qi Yue paused, staring intently at Shen Anning.
She was the one who got pregnant out of wedlock, yet she apologized to him instead?
What does that mean?
Qi Yue's thin lips curled slightly, "Damaged me? Then tell me, in this situation, Attorney Shen, how do you plan to handle it?"
Shen Anning ignored his sarcastic tone and said, "Although the child was an accident, it is still a life. Considering my health condition, I have decided to keep the child."
The reason she mentioned her health was to convince Qi Yue that her decision to keep the child was truly unrelated to him.
“Of course the child should stay.” Qi Yue looked at Shen Anning and said in a low voice, “I don’t reject the child.”
Shen Anning pursed her lips, understanding the unspoken meaning in his words.
“What I mean is, I will raise the child myself after it is born.” She looked at Qi Yue, her tone calm but firm.
Qi Yue was not surprised that she would say that.
He had guessed that this was her plan from the moment she said she had decided to keep the baby.
This also aligns with Shen Anning's consistently cold and dismissive attitude towards him.
That night, for Shen Anning, it was truly just an accident.
Once she sobered up, she decided to sever all ties with him completely. Even though she had unexpectedly conceived a child, she still didn't include him in her future plans.
Shen Anning, this woman, really opened his eyes.
First they treated him like a gigolo, sleeping with him and then kicking him out. Now they're treating him like a tool for sowing seeds, trying to kill the father and leave the son with just a few words.
She's taken advantage of every single one of the world's best deals!
Qi Yue was unhappy!
For some reason, he just didn't want to let things go with Shen Anning like this.
He was annoyed and frustrated by her interactions with Wen Yusen, but he didn't have a legitimate reason or status to stop them.
On New Year's Eve, he shamelessly brought New Year's gifts to her door to offer his greetings, but what he really wanted was to see her.
After waiting all night without seeing her come downstairs, he finally had to rush back to Mingyuan before the New Year.
Qi Yue thought that his relationship with Shen Anning was over, and that he might receive news of Shen Anning's engagement to Wen Yusen in the first month of the lunar calendar.
He never dreamed that God would arrange such a New Year's gift for him!
The child's arrival was quite unexpected, but Qi Yue was extremely satisfied!
He's the child's biological father; there's no reason for him not to fight for it!
Qi Yue stepped forward and sat down on the chair next to the bed, his narrow eyes fixed on Shen Anning. "Do you love Wen Yusen?"
Shen Anning was taken aback, completely unexpected that he would suddenly ask such a question.
"We're just blind dates, still getting to know each other, there's no love or liking between us yet." Shen Anning looked at him, her brows furrowing slightly. "Are you worried that if I get married in the future, it will affect our children?"
Qi Yue raised an eyebrow. "Shouldn't I be worried?"
“I have no plans to get married at the moment,” Shen Anning said. “I only felt that Wen Yusen was a good match before, but we haven’t reached the point of discussing marriage. Now that I have a child, I will prioritize my child, and I will not consider marriage for the next few years. As for the future, even if I do get married, I will definitely find someone who can treat my child as their own.”
"You've got a pretty perfect idea," Qi Yue said with a hint of sarcasm. "But if everything in life were something you could plan and predict, you wouldn't be pregnant now."
Shen Anning, "..."
“I am single now, and my mind and body are innocent.” Qi Yue said calmly, “I think that since the child is going to be born, rather than letting my child bear the risk of being treated differently by a stepfather in the future, it is better for me, as the biological father, to take responsibility for him from the beginning.”
Shen Anning frowned. "Are you going to try and take the child from me?"
"I want to acknowledge the child, but you're afraid I'll fight you for him." Qi Yue smiled. "Then why can't we just get married?"
Shen Anning was taken aback.
"Anyway, you don't love Wen Yusen, and you broke up with that ex surnamed Qi five years ago. Now you're single, and I'm single too. If we have a child, we'll get married. Isn't that the choice of a normal person?"
Shen Anning was somewhat surprised.
The name 'Qi Yue' was something she made up on the spot to dispel Qi Yue's suspicions, but she didn't expect Qi Yue to still remember it.
"It's too risky to force a marriage for the sake of the child." Shen Anning looked at Qi Yue with a serious expression. "A marriage that is only superficial will not provide the child with complete love. Isn't it also a risk for both of us?"
"How do you know we'll be estranged after marriage?" Qi Yue stared at Shen Anning. "I don't have anyone in my heart, but you..."
As he spoke, his brows furrowed even deeper, and his tone turned colder, "You're not still thinking about your ex who went abroad, are you?"
Shen Anning pursed her lips and remained silent.
Her silence at that moment became a thorn, piercing straight into Qi Yue's heart.
He thought, she really still can't let go of her ex.
Five years after their breakup, Qi Yue is really curious about the man who can still make her drunkenly cry and shout his name!
Just how outstanding is he? That Shen Anning is so concerned about him!
However, perhaps it was a man's innate competitive spirit, or perhaps it was Qi Yue's paternal love, but in any case, Qi Yue had only one thought at this moment—
He wants to marry Shen Anning.
“I’ll give you two choices.” Qi Yue stood up, looking down at Shen Anning. “First, as you wish, you give birth to the child, and after the breastfeeding period, we can have a normal lawsuit and fight for custody of the child based on our own abilities. Second, we can get married, form a complete family together, and raise the child together.”
Shen Anning frowned and glared at him. "Are you giving me a choice? You're forcing me!"
“I personally prefer the second option.” Qi Yue looked at Shen Anning, his eyes dark and deep. “After all, I also experienced being in a single-parent family for a period of time when I was young, and I know very well what children from single-parent families have to endure.”
Shen Anning was stunned.
Qi Yue's mental illness stems from some experiences he had in his childhood...
“So, Shen Anning…” Qi Yue’s voice was serious, “I hope you can also choose the second one. Our two families know each other well, and I have no emotional burdens. As for you, I don’t mind that you still have feelings for other men. If you need a prenuptial agreement, I can cooperate. I just want to give the child a healthy and happy growth environment.”
Shen Anning unconsciously clenched her hands under the covers.
She knew that Qi Yue wanted to get married only for the sake of having a child. He didn't want his own child to go through the same thing because he had experienced a broken home...
But he doesn't love her. Is a marriage formed for the sake of the child truly fulfilling for the child?
Anning's situation is uncertain.
"Take this time to rest and recuperate, and think it over carefully." Qi Yue said this, then turned and left the ward.
Only after the door closed did Shen Anning slowly loosen her clenched hands.
She stared at the ceiling, feeling utterly lost.
Qi Yue has amnesia, but he is willing to marry her for the sake of their child.
He didn't love her; he only chose to marry her out of a sense of responsibility towards his child.
Even if it were another woman who was pregnant with his child today, he would still think the same way.
Shen Anning closed her eyes wearily.
