The woman silently endured it for a moment.
Her name was Mary.
Anyway, it's just an English name, so it's fine to change it. She can just call herself Alice from now on.
"Brother!" Seeing Ma...Aili stop Nangong Yao and still cling to him, Si Xin felt a stinging sensation in her eyes. She looked at the man she loved with deep affection, but she couldn't understand why her happiness was about to be taken away in the blink of an eye.
The feelings from yesterday were still there, yet he could hurt her like this, seemingly caring nothing for her. Such sadness was heartbreaking, but Si Xin was a resolute person. With tears welling in her eyes, she stood before Nangong Yao, stunned to see him holding Ai Li, and couldn't help but sob.
Any man would soften when looked at by an innocent girl with accusing eyes.
"Brother," she cried weakly.
"Oh, it's you." Nangong Yao felt utterly bored.
He glanced at Si Xin, who was crying, and found her tearful and fragile appearance irritating.
Tears and vulnerability are a girl's most powerful weapons.
However, in Nangong Yao's heart, she paled in comparison to another girl, who, despite the bruises on her hands, stubbornly looked at him with eyes full of defiance and mockery. That was true vitality, not someone who couldn't live without him. Nangong Yao used to like the way Si Xin depended on him; when a woman relied on him wholeheartedly, even an 80 million dollar CEO would feel satisfied. But Nangong Yao preferred to conquer her himself.
He longs to be relied upon by a woman, and it would be best if that woman were someone who had previously looked down on him.
"Why are you here?" Of course, Nangong Yao still had some patience with Si Xin and asked vaguely.
He looked in Shen Wangshu's direction again, but was disappointed to see that even though his sister had arrived, the girl hadn't even thought of coming over to see her.
"I... I came with Alice." Si Xin didn't know what the pregnant woman was called, so she wasn't gloating at all. She just twisted her slender fingers nervously and didn't dare to lift her head as she said, "She came to the house yesterday and said she was pregnant with your child, so I..." She looked at Nangong Yao with expectant eyes and saw the man's sword-like eyebrows furrow, as if he was expecting Nangong Yao to expose Alice's lie about being pregnant.
To her disappointment, Nangong Yao simply looked coldly at the smirking Alice.
"You're pregnant?" he asked coldly.
"Yes," Alice said softly, all her usual charm gone.
"beat……"
"Don't scare others." Alice lowered her head, her eyes darting around in the shadows, and said to Nangong Yao in a soft, seductive voice, "Miss Si is still here. What if hearing such cold words from you makes her impression of you even worse?"
She looked up and saw Nangong Yao staring at her with sharp eyes. He said even more, "Miss Si is so gentle and kind. If she knew that you don't even want your own child, she wouldn't pay any attention to you." She sighed deeply, stroked her lower abdomen, and smiled charmingly.
Nangong Yao looked at the woman with an unpredictable expression.
He couldn't help but think of the way Shen Wangshu had looked at him before.
Because he had tied her up once, she didn't have a good impression of him.
So, if she knew that she didn't even want her own child... such a beautiful and proud young woman would probably hate herself even more.
Even though he disliked women trying to use their children to tie themselves to him, Nangong Yao still lowered his eyes and endured it, pretending to be indulgent.
Beneath her jet-black bangs, those cold and alluring eyes made Si Xin's face flush instantly.
She heard Alice's words as well.
I also saw Nangong Yao's compromise with himself.
He tolerated the child because of "Miss Si".
At this moment, Si Xin felt as if she could fly, floating on clouds. When Nangong Yao abandoned his principles for her sake, she felt a profound sense of happiness. This happiness made her radiant and even more dazzling. It even extinguished the tears in her eyes.
Although Si Xin disliked Aili, she didn't want to change the pure and beautiful image of herself in Nangong Yao's mind. Therefore, she silently suppressed the thought of driving Aili away and glanced at Aili, who treated her like a servant, with a look that she herself did not realize was actually full of condescension and pity.
Alice just smiled and touched her lower abdomen.
Actually, there's nothing there!
She subconsciously glanced at A-Ye again, feeling that she was still very unlucky. After all, she was at home recovering from a miscarriage when A-Ye suddenly appeared with a gun, threatening her to scheme against the relationship between Nangong Yao and Si-Xin, and to make Si-Xin experience the most painful thing in the world.
She was willing to cooperate, not only because Ah Ye, the underworld boss, was not someone to be trifled with, but also because... the child she had lost had died at the hands of Nangong Yao. She had long since stopped being a mistress and was now pregnant with the child of a man who didn't care about her past. She wanted to go with him to a place far away from the city and live a peaceful life.
But Nangong Yao barged into her home.
He got completely drunk and forced himself on her amidst her pleas and cries, causing her to lose her child.
She also understood that this was punishment for her past dissolute life, because she had left the house key to Nangong Yao herself.
She made mistakes for money, and she deserves to be looked down upon and treated like a plaything.
But how innocent are the children?
