"Of course, Ningning, I'm not saying this to put pressure on you. If you really want to have this child, that's fine too. Your parents, me, Ji Jianshen, and all of us will love this child very, very much. It's just that the child won't have a father's presence, it's not a big deal."
Ye Xinning chuckled, "This is different from what you said before. You said you didn't want me to have this child."
"Whether it was before or now, all I want is for you to be happy," Su Wan sighed.
Ye Xinning nodded. "I know."
She lowered her eyes, her gaze falling on her abdomen, which was still flat, revealing nothing.
"I'll think about it some more. The child is still young, and I will definitely make a decision before there is time to have the surgery."
Su Wan patted her hand, "Follow your heart, do whatever you want, don't put too much pressure on yourself."
"Um."
...
Su Wan had other things to do and couldn't stay in Nancheng forever. On the day she left, she told Ye Xinning, "If anything happens, be sure to tell me. Don't carry everything alone."
Ye Xinning nodded. "Yes, I know."
The day after Su Wan left, Ye Xinning and Aunt Wen traveled to France together.
This was something she had decided on after meeting Kenneth Fok that day.
Mu Mingwei is in France; there are many things she needs to investigate in France to find out more clearly.
Ye Rouxin strongly disagreed with her going to France, saying, "What are you going to France for? You're pregnant!"
"Mom, there are some things that can only be resolved when I go to France."
"What could it be? It's just about Shen Lin. Ningning, since you've already decided to break up with Shen Lin, it doesn't really matter who did it anymore. There's no doubt that the child Jiang An gave birth to is Shen Lin's. Can you accept that? Of course you can't, right? Since you can't accept it, does it really matter if you find out the truth?"
Ye Xinning knew perfectly well the resentment in her mother's heart, and from a certain perspective, what her mother said was also right.
She could not possibly reconcile with Shen Lin while ignoring the issue of the child, nor could she ignore these matters.
But whatever it is, she needs an answer.
"Mom," Ye Xinning said softly, her head bowed.
"Um?"
“I went to France not because I wanted to save our marriage, which was full of problems, but because I wanted to put an end to this relationship.”
Does this really matter?
“It’s important to me.”
Before Ye Rouxin could say anything more, Ye Xinning spoke first, "Moreover, Mom, based on what I've found out so far, it's very complicated. I need an explanation, whether it's for me or for others. I don't want to live in fear because of this kind of thing in the future."
“But I’m worried about you going to France alone.”
"There's nothing to worry about. I can take care of myself."
"How will you take care of yourself? You're pregnant. If you insist on going to France, I'll go with you," Ye Rouxin said after thinking for a moment.
Ye Xinning quickly grabbed Ye Rouxin, "Mom, how can you come with me when you have so many things going on at the Ye Group? Don't worry, I'll take Aunt Wen with me. Besides, my dad is in France too. He'll be there with me, so nothing will happen."
Ye Rouxin fell silent. "You need Aunt Wen more right now than you need me."
Ye Xinning chuckled, "Mom, are you jealous of Aunt Wen? Of course it's different. You're Mom, Aunt Wen is a different kind of person."
"real?"
"Of course, so Mom, you just wait for me to come back in Nancheng."
Ye Rouxin was persuaded by Ye Xinning.
But thinking about Ye Xinning's pregnancy with Shen Lin's child, Ye Rouxin couldn't help but ask, "Haven't you thought about the child in your belly yet?"
Ye Xinning pursed her lips. "When I get back from France, I'll definitely give Mom an answer."
"Ningning, Mom knows you're reluctant, but you need to think about the future."
"I know."
Ye Rouxin thought of Ji Jianshen who appeared that day and couldn't help but ask Ye Xinning a few more questions, "The one who came to the house that day, was he your friend? What did he say? I saw so much tenderness in his eyes."
Ye Xinning, "..."
"Didn't I say that day that we're just ordinary friends?"
"You're lying to your mother? I don't believe it. He thinks you're just a regular friend?"
"..."
"Ningning, there are plenty of men in the world. I'm just telling you not to be so stubborn."
"Um."
Ye Xinning replied vaguely, "While I was in France, Mom took care of herself."
She changed the subject, otherwise she didn't know how long they could have talked about that topic.
"Okay, then take Wen Yu with you. Call me immediately if anything happens."
"Um."
...
Ye Xinning traveled to France the next day, and before boarding the plane, she called Song Zhengchu.
So He Yu arrived as soon as I got off the plane and entered the lobby.
"Miss, Aunt Wen."
He Yu took the luggage from Aunt Wen's hands.
"Um, He Yu, is my dad busy?"
"Yes, the master has a meeting today, so he arranged for me to pick up the young lady. The young lady must be tired from the journey, so let's go back to the manor to rest first."
"good."
Ye Xinning and He Yu left the airport together and headed to the manor.
...
Song Group.
Song Zhengchu sat at his desk, looking at the young man in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. "You've been sitting there for a long time. Aren't you going to come and sit down?"
The man turned around at the sound, but eventually sat down on the sofa. This man was Ji Jianshen, who had been staying in France for several days.
Song Zhengchu also got up and came to the sofa, personally making a cup of tea for Ji Jianshen.
"What are you thinking about?"
Did He Yu go to pick her up?
It was obvious who he was. Song Zhengchu raised an eyebrow. "You don't want her to come, do you?"
"Does Uncle Song want her to come?"
Song Zhengchu laughed at the rhetorical question. "Jian Shen, your question is a bit redundant. She's my daughter. What father in the world wouldn't want his child to be his?"
Ji Jianshen held his teacup, took a small sip, and remained silent, his gaze deep.
“Chen Lin came a few days ago, and now Ningning has come too. It seems that the key to the matter has shifted from Nancheng to France.”
"So what?"
"You know better than I do what kind of person Shen Lin is. Ningning has a special status, and even though things have turned out this way with Shen Lin, she still cares about him."
"Is Uncle Song reminding me?"
Song Zhengchu smiled perfectly, "I'm just telling you that no matter what you do or what your ultimate goal is, the premise is that you can't hurt Ningning."
