Chapter 72 Sin and Reason
Li Yanzhou was in turmoil. The two pieces of information intertwined, making his brain feel like it was about to explode.
In the end, he stood up and hurriedly went to Luo Tingwei's room.
Luo Tingwei's room was already surrounded by a crowd of people, with maids and bodyguards around her, trying to calm her down.
Her hair was disheveled, and there was even a thin layer of sweat on her forehead, making it look like she had just gone through a struggle.
Li Yanzhou's expression was not good; he walked over with a livid face and asked,
"What happened?"
Seeing this, the maid stammered and told the truth, "I just came in to deliver the meal and saw Luo Xiao... no, the young mistress... she was hitting her own stomach."
As she spoke, her voice grew softer and softer.
"You may all leave."
Li Yanzhou spoke coldly.
After the maids and bodyguards had all left, the man strode over, his voice unusually harsh and warning.
"I don't want to hear about this again."
Upon hearing his words, Luo Tingwei's body trembled uncontrollably.
She was emotionally agitated at the time and couldn't control herself, which was seen by the maid who came in.
She was quickly stopped.
She immediately thought of Li Yanzhou's reaction when he found out, and a sense of fear arose in her subconscious.
Just as she expected.
“Luo Tingwei, this is not only your child, but also mine, so think about me before you try to hurt it.”
He had already tried to reason with her, but she still hadn't given up on those inappropriate thoughts and still couldn't accept the child.
A wave of irritation washed over Li Yanzhou, but then he remembered the results report he had just received in the study.
He had doubts and didn't fully believe it.
In any case, the child must stay put until he speaks.
"sorry……"
Seeing his anger, Luo Tingwei felt a chill run down her spine, and her voice was barely audible, "I...I didn't mean it. I was just a little emotional, that's why..."
Seeing her trembling appearance, Li Yanzhou sighed inwardly.
She was pregnant and couldn't be easily frightened, so he didn't want to say anything harsh.
A surge of tenderness welled up within him, and Li Yanzhou's heart stirred slightly. He reached out to tidy the stray hairs clinging to her forehead. As he did so, his voice softened, as if to soothe her.
"Weiwei, the doctor said it's really not easy for you to get pregnant given your health, so you have to take good care of yourself. I promise, we'll only have this one child. After the baby is born, we'll be good parents and watch him grow up together, okay?"
They only have this one child...
Luo Tingwei thought he made it sound so easy.
Given his stubbornness, once there's a first one, there will naturally be a second.
First, coax her into having one child, then continue using more methods to coax her into having a second, and a third.
She might be a mother of four by the time she turns thirty.
Just thinking about it makes me shudder.
But she could only say "okay" against her will...
She admitted that since learning she was pregnant, her emotions had been very unstable, and she always felt a lot of resentment in her chest with nowhere to vent it.
A slight stinging sensation suddenly came from the top of my head.
Li Yanzhou paused, looking at her nervously, "Did I hurt you because I'm rough?"
As he spoke, he quickly tidied up a few more times and then stopped.
Luo Tingwei felt a strand of her hair being accidentally pulled out, and shook her head, "I'm fine."
Seeing this, Li Yanzhou gave her a few more instructions and then left the bedroom.
The man gripped the hair tightly in his palm, his face quickly returning to its gloomy state, and walked towards the study.
This time, he pulled it out himself, there's no mistake.
So he rang the bell again and handed the hair to his subordinate.
"Be sure to be careful."
He gave me his concerned instructions.
"Yes, Young Master Li."
*
The results came out very quickly this time; we had news the following afternoon.
Li Yanzhou sat there silently, staring at the string of 9s above, lost in thought for a moment.
He gripped the certificate tightly, his knuckles turning white.
Is this the end of the matter?
After finally realizing what this meant, his chest ached with a tightness. He tried his best to suppress his breathing, but he could still hear the rhythm of his own heartbeat.
Time seemed to stand still.
There was no shock, no anger, only an unfathomable silence.
He stared at the words in silence for a long time before slowly uttering, "God, are you playing me? You're playing me!"
Suddenly, the sound of something breaking came from the study.
Upon hearing the noise, his subordinate rushed in to check and was shocked. "Young Master Li, you're bleeding?!"
"Get out! All of you, get out!"
The man let the shards of glass embed themselves in his palm, blood gushing out, and roared at the newcomer with bloodshot eyes, oblivious to everything else.
"Please calm down... What exactly happened?"
His subordinate wanted to persuade him again, but was frightened by his murderous gaze and dared not say another word before staggering out.
Calm down? How is he supposed to calm down?!
The woman he had kept hidden in his heart for many years turned out to be his half-sister.
Not only that, they already had a child, and he was so looking forward to the arrival of this little life.
But now... it all seems like a mistake.
This child...
He closed his eyes in pain.
Thoughts flashed through my mind, oscillating between guilt and clarity.
One thought can lead to heaven, another to hell.
He once thought he was rational and ruthless enough, but now, he has the idea of continuing this mistake.
Luo Tingwei... After five years of obsession, I've finally won you over. How can I let you go so easily?
He couldn't bear to let her go, to watch her slowly drift away from him, even into the arms of someone else!
He could never do that in his lifetime!
He'd rather die!
Luo Tingwei, without my permission, you will never leave this world.
The bleeding stopped, and his mind gradually cleared. He felt the pain, but he endured the intense tearing sensation, with only one thought in his mind.
Luo Tingwei, where is his Weiwei?
He wanted to find her.
At this moment, he could only feel at ease when he saw her.
When I opened the bedroom door, the bed was empty; I couldn't see her anywhere.
Li Yanzhou's mind went blank. He grabbed a maid at random and practically spat out the words, "Where is she? Where did she go!"
The maid said fearfully, "Have you forgotten... Young mistress is going to the hospital for a prenatal checkup today."
Hospital?
His temple throbbed, and for some reason, he felt a sense of unease.
**
Luo Tingwei wrapped herself up tightly and, under the protection of bodyguards and servants, arrived at a private hospital.
The doctor was already waiting there.
It was a young male doctor, wearing a mask, sitting there quietly.
Upon seeing her arrive, he glanced indifferently at the others behind her.
"The patient stays here; everyone else, please wait outside."
For some reason, the doctor's voice sounded very familiar.
