“Meng Xinyi likes you to the point of madness. She wants to have a child with you as a keepsake and a source of emotional support.” Xiang Yang hurriedly added when he saw Zhan Jingting’s expression change drastically. “She knows you won’t sleep with her, so she wants to have artificial insemination.”
Zhan Jingting sneered, "You're telling me all this because you promised her and are trying to convince me?"
"I'm not in a position to agree, but I think it's not impossible..."
Before Xiang Yang could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Zhan Jingting's shout, "Shut up!"
Xiang Yang was startled!
A chill ran down the man's handsome face. "You want me to have a child with another woman? What will Wanwan think when she wakes up?"
"If a woman came up to her with a big belly and said, 'I'm pregnant with your husband's child,' do you think Wanwan could accept that?"
Xiang Yang felt helpless and heartbroken, but still insisted, "You didn't actively ask someone else for a child. You did it to save her and to get news of another child. The boss will understand."
"Back then, the boss thought Eleven was Wen Xue's child, and he was able to accept Eleven and liked her so much. I believe it will be the same this time. The boss won't blame you."
"That's different!" Zhan Jingting's face was cold, and his deep voice was as cold as ice. "Back then, Wanwan thought that Eleven was born to Wen Xue. Do you think she was really not bothered by it? She was able to let it go because, on the one hand, the child was born before we got married, and she couldn't change my past. On the other hand, she had a telepathic connection with Eleven, so even if she thought that Eleven was born to another woman, she couldn't control her feelings for Eleven."
"And now, Wanwan is my wife. You want me to have a child with another woman while we're still married? Do you think Wanwan can accept that? Xiang Yang, do you really understand Wanwan?"
“Of course I understand Boss. Even if she herself doesn’t care and doesn’t need to wake up, what about the child?” Xiang Yang said sadly. “Every day it’s delayed, the child might suffer for another day. Do you think Boss would have the heart to do that? If she could, Boss would be willing to give her own life to bring the child home, wouldn’t she?”
“It’s different.” Zhan Jingting closed his eyes and said in a deep voice, “Perhaps I would be willing to risk my life to bring the child back, but I would never want my lover to have a child with someone else. On this point, Wanwan and I are of the same mind, and there is no need to question it.”
"Master Zhan, please listen to my advice!" Xiang Yang was extremely distressed. "The current situation of this family is already bad enough. We must start to move in a better direction, otherwise everyone will be in too much pain."
"No matter how painful it is, I can't lose my bottom line. There are some things I can do, but some things I can't. Even if we don't need to have a relationship, I won't have a child with another woman. The only person in this world who can give me a child is Qiao Wanwan."
Xiang Yang was both touched and heartbroken. "I still think you should consider it. The eldest son and that child are both too important."
Zhan Jingting didn't say anything more. "Get out."
Xiang Yang had no choice but to leave. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Eleven standing at the entrance.
Xiang Yang was taken aback, quickly closed the door, and picked him up. "What are you doing here? You can't eavesdrop on Daddy and Uncle's conversation. It's very impolite."
"Eleven doesn't understand at all. Who does Daddy want to have a baby with? Is he going to give me a little sister?"
“No.” Xiang Yang couldn’t explain. “Your daddy will only have children with your mommy. If Eleven likes a little sister, you can talk to your mommy about it when she wakes up and ask her to have a little sister for you.”
"Really?" Eleven's eyes lit up. "The little girl is just as pretty as Mommy!"
"Yes." Xiang Yang kissed his forehead tenderly. "She will definitely be as beautiful as your mommy, and as cute as you."
"But Uncle, when will Mommy wake up? She's been on IV drips every day for treatment, why isn't she awake yet?"
"Mommy's condition is more serious, so it won't heal so quickly. You'll need to be patient during the National Day holiday."
"oh......"
As the two were talking, they suddenly saw Jiang Dong rushing over.
"Jiang Dong, what brings you here?" Xiang Yang asked, taking Eleven's hand. "Weren't you searching for Madam Zhan's whereabouts? Have you found out?"
"Yes, that's why I rushed over to report to Master Zhan."
"Then hurry up and go!"
Xiang Yang handed Eleven over to Zheng Ma and went to the study with Jiang Dong.
“Master Zhan.” Jiang Dong nodded and reported, “I’ve investigated. During the days when Madam was missing, there were indeed several smuggling boats going out to sea. One of them was very suspicious. It was chartered by someone, supposedly to transport goods. They loaded several large boxes onto the boat.”
“I’ve also dealt with the black market. As far as I know, smuggling boats are very expensive. You need to charter a boat to transport something. Could it be illegal goods?” Xiang Yang speculated.
“I have an even bolder guess,” Jiang Dong said. “Master Zhan said before that if we can’t find it in China, we should look abroad. I suspect that Madam may have been sent abroad by that ship.”
"That's quite a bold guess!" Xiang Yang exclaimed incredulously. "What's your basis for this? Or is it just a guess?"
“Of course not. Since it’s suspicious, I’ll naturally investigate.” Jiang Dong continued, “I went abroad to investigate myself, spending a lot of money and time. I finally found out that when the ship docked, five men and one woman got off, while only five men boarded the ship in the capital.”
“I used a photo of the lady to verify it, because the distance was too far and the witnesses were not sure if the person getting off the ship was the lady, but the figure was very similar.”
"So, it's very likely that Madam Zhan was hidden in a box and smuggled abroad?"
