Chapter 324 Xie Zhan... You are so stupid
For a moment, Xiyan was stunned and speechless for a long time. It seemed that for the first time, she had wavered on the matter of abortion.
Xie Zhen took a step forward and gently touched Xiyan's black hair:
"Tian'er, your mother will soon wake up, and she hasn't seen you yet. So, you must stay with her until she wakes up, and the first thing she sees is you. Therefore, your father will not allow you to be in any danger!"
Xie Zhan also said:
"Yes, my dear sister, please keep him. We will love this child dearly and protect you well."
Xiyan looked at the anxious faces of her father and brothers, and felt the faint but real movement in her abdomen, and finally nodded.
Xie Zhan was attentive. He pointed at the two bowls of abortion medicine on the table, puzzled:
"Hey, Xiyan, why is there an extra bowl?"
Xiyan glanced at Manluo, but before she could respond, Manluo quickly replied, "She was worried that one bowl wouldn't be enough, so she prepared an extra bowl."
Xie Zhen said with a look of reproach: "Tian'er, you really don't take care of yourself. Fortunately, the emperor came, otherwise, there would be chaos today."
Xiyan didn't want to expose it, so she smiled awkwardly.
As he said that, he ordered Xie Zhan: "Pour out the medicine."
"yes!"
Soon, Nichang entered the hall and left with a tray in her hand.
Seeing that Xiyan no longer insisted on having an abortion, the Xie family father and son comforted her a few more words before leaving Xiyan's Qionghua Palace.
After the Xie family father and son left, and the hall was empty, Manluo breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at Xiyan:
"Kid, have you really decided to stay?"
Xiyan gently stroked her lower abdomen. At this moment, her abdomen trembled again, as if responding to her touch. Her heart softened instantly, and her eyes gradually became firm:
"Father is right. He is not only Xiao Nanyan's child, but also my own flesh and blood. Now that he is here, I should let him see the world."
After hearing this, Manluo leaned back in her chair like a deflated ball.
"We agreed to have an abortion together, and you ran away at the last minute. What will happen to this little evil child in my belly?"
Xiyan smiled and walked forward to hold her hand:
"Give birth to the baby. Abortion is harmful to your health. Wouldn't it be nice to have two children as companions in the future?"
Manluo's eyes lit up:
"Okay! If we have boys in the future, we can be brothers. If we have girls, we can be sisters like we are."
"What if the baby is a boy and a girl?"
Manluo chuckled: "Then let's arrange a marriage for the children. It would be nice if you could just call us mother!"
Xi Yanxian pointed at her forehead and said with a smile:
"You are so frivolous."
However, Xiyan suddenly thought of Xie Zhan and frowned slightly:
"Seriously, Second Brother cares deeply about you. If he knew you were pregnant with Chu Jin's child, would he be sad?"
Manluo's cheeks flushed:
"What does it have to do with him..."
Before he could finish his words, the sound of something falling was heard outside the hall.
The two were slightly startled, and Xiyan called out, "Nishang!"
"Princess--"
Nichang hurried into the hall, holding an oil-paper bag in her hand.
Xiyan stared at the oil-paper bag in her hand: "What was that noise outside just now?"
"Princess, the Second Prince wanted to give Miss Manluo a paper-wrapped chicken, saying it was freshly baked and fresh, but it somehow fell to the ground, and he left in a hurry without picking it up."
Manluo took the oil paper package, and the fragrant smell of roasted chicken penetrated her nostrils. When her fingertips touched the warmth, her heart suddenly felt sour - how good was Xie Zhan to her, didn't she know?
Xiyan pushed her and said, "What are you standing there for? Go and explain yourself."
Manluo finally came to her senses, threw down the oil-paper bag, and chased out of the palace door holding up her skirt.
In the twilight, Xie Zhan's blue shirt was about to disappear at the end of the corridor. She shouted out with all her might:
"Thank you Zhan!"
Xie Zhan suddenly stopped at the corner of the corridor, but still walked quickly out of the hall with his back to her.
Manluo was chasing him breathlessly, and seeing that he was determined not to stop, she rolled her eyes, let out a cry, stumbled and fell to the ground.
"Manluo!"
Xie Zhan turned around in shock, his green robe fluttering as he rushed to her side.
"Where did you fall? Are you hurt?"
Xie Zhan was embarrassed. When he picked her up sideways, his palm touched the curve of her waist. His fingertips suddenly froze, but he still carefully placed her on the garden bench with his head down, like a child who had done something wrong.
"If I don't fall, how long are you going to hide?" Manluo saw his eyelashes trembling violently, and finally sighed:
"Did you hear the conversation between Xiyan and I just now?"
"Um."
The silence stretched on in the twilight until Xie Zhan suddenly stepped forward and grasped her wrist tightly.
"The child... is it really Chu Jin's?"
"Yes." Manluo turned her face away, but felt his fingertips trembling.
"Do you like him?"
Xie Zhan stared into her eyes, those eyes that were always gentle, now filled with fragmented light.
Manluo's heartbeat paused slightly, and it felt like a thorn was stuck in her throat.
Xie Zhan held her hand even tighter: "If I had met you earlier..."
Today, he no longer calls himself "The King" and his voice carries the stubbornness of a young man:
"Will you choose me?"
Manluo looked at the handsome young man in front of her. Her own blurry shadow was reflected in his pure pupils. Suddenly, a sob choked her throat:
"If I had met you first, I think I would have fallen in love with you."
Xie Zhan's originally lost eyes suddenly lit up, like a lake full of stars.
He held Manluo's hand tighter, as if making a vow:
"Manluo, I will wait for you, until you feel that Chu Jin is not worthy of your love, until you are willing to turn back for me..."
Manluo's red lips trembled slightly, and it took her a long time to squeeze out a word:
"Don't you mind that I'm carrying someone else's child?"
Xie Zhan suddenly paused, his fingertips drawing circles on her palm:
"I'm not Xiao Beicheng, I don't have so many sorrows and pains. What I like is you as a person, and the child in your belly is also a part of you. And what I, Xie Zhan, like is all of you!"
"Xie Zhan...you are so stupid."
Manluo looked at his serious expression, and suddenly remembered that he had blocked the snakes for her in the Ten Thousand Snake Valley, and that he always tried his best to satisfy her greed. At this moment, she didn't know what to say, and finally let out a faint sigh.
His eyes inadvertently slid towards Tianqi's direction, and he secretly complained in his heart:
Chu Jin, ah Chu Jin, congratulations, you've met a formidable opponent...
