Ning Lang, who was heavily pregnant, was exhausted after her long journey and slept for more than two hours before waking up in the evening.
Sheng Xuan was sitting to the side texting her subordinates when she suddenly jumped up, strode over to her, helped her sit up straight, and even picked up a pillow, wrapped it up, and made her lean against it.
Ning Lang glanced at the sky outside the window and asked, "It must be six o'clock by now, right?"
Sheng Xuan replied, "It's 6:15. Don't worry, Yuan Heng is sleeping downstairs and is perfectly fine. I've already sent someone to take A Lü to the vet for a checkup, and after she got a shot, I sent her to the old house."
Ning Lang nodded and licked his dry lips.
Sheng Xuan turned around, poured a glass of water, and handed it to her.
"Thank you." Ning Lang took the glass and drank half of it. "Come back to the hospital tomorrow. I have to go back to the old house tonight. If I don't go back, Grandpa and Mom and Dad will definitely be very angry."
“Okay, I’ll go with you,” Sheng Xuan said gently.
Ning Lang's eyes flickered slightly, and he chuckled softly: "What? Are you afraid they'll scold or beat me? Don't worry, they won't have the heart to hit me in my current state."
Sheng Xuan looked at her pretty profile and said in a low voice, "It's my fault... I have to go and explain things to them. If Grandpa wants to punish you according to family rules, I will take full responsibility for my actions."
The Ning family has many old family rules, which mainly govern the conduct and behavior of their descendants.
Her actions of getting pregnant out of wedlock, hiding from everyone, and then running away should probably get her a lot of beatings.
Grandpa Ning is a strict and serious person who is meticulous in his work. This time, he was quite frightened and angry by her.
Now that she's back, even if she promptly repents, admits her mistakes, and begs for forgiveness, she will likely still be punished.
Even if she's pregnant and sick and can't be punished right now, she'll still be severely punished later. Rather than her having to face the punishment alone later, it's better for him to take it for her now, so the elders can feel a little better.
Ning Lang glanced at him coldly and said, "I will admit my own mistakes. I will take responsibility for my own actions. It has nothing to do with you."
“They won’t believe in that artificial insemination stuff.” Sheng Xuan lowered her eyes and said, “I should take full responsibility.”
Ning Lang snorted lightly and said, "I don't need you to take responsibility, and I don't want to."
What she wanted was never his responsibility, and she would never be like some women who desperately get pregnant and then use that as leverage to achieve their goals.
Sheng Xuan sighed helplessly, "I really want to, but is that not allowed?"
"No need, there's no need," Ning Lang said calmly. "I'm capable of giving birth to and raising my own child."
Sheng Xuan, his handsome face composed, said, "Let's wait and see. Once you and the child are safe, give me a chance."
"Is this a request for opinions or an order? Hmm?" Ning Lang asked with a half-smile.
Sheng Xuan lowered his head and whispered, "It was pleading, begging, and desperately hoping."
Ning Lang paused for a moment, then said, "Let's talk about it later. Some people and some things, once missed, are gone forever. I... was so disappointed in you."
She had fallen for him on that evening many years ago.
But he was slow-witted and an idiot. Even after they got engaged, married, and even shared a bed, he was still completely unaware of her feelings.
Ning Lang is desperate for suitors and love.
If she truly had no feelings for him, she would have punched him and sent him to the ends of the earth long ago. What was the point of keeping him in Rongcheng as a hindrance?
"No..." Sheng Xuan sighed sadly, "I will make it up to you and try to get another chance. I will never give up."
Ning Lang didn't want to continue the topic and said, "If you want to go, then go, but don't talk nonsense."
He nodded in agreement.
