"good."
Wen Yuqiao took a deep breath, suppressing his trembling breathing, and quickly said:
"Now that you're married, our relationship ends here. I'll live my own life from now on and won't bother you, and you shouldn't bother me either. But you are also the father of the child, and you will bear half the responsibility for raising the child."
"I don't trust your wife to raise the child, as she might mistreat him. Therefore, the child must stay with me. However, you must pay me compensation for emotional distress; the amount depends on how much guilt you, Young Master Shen, feel. Furthermore, before the child is born, you must guarantee the safety of both me and the child. I need to settle down in a safe place; you can arrange that."
"That's it, do you agree or not?"
Wen Yuqiao decisively severed ties with the two of them using certain conditions.
Shen Hongchou felt this was inappropriate, partly because he was worried about Wen Yuqiao and felt guilty, and partly because he was concerned about his own reputation.
"Qiaoqiao, don't be impulsive, let's talk it over again."
Wen Yuqiao brushed his hand away and wiped it on his other sleeve: "No need, Young Master Shen. I've stated my conditions. The rest is up to you to decide."
"Lele, let's go." Wen Yuqiao turned around and grabbed Chang Le.
Chang Le grasped her trembling, sweaty hand, nodded to Jiu Fanggui, and followed her downstairs.
The two left, leaving behind a troubled and indecisive Shen Hongchou and a well-intentioned but idle Jiu Fanggui.
Shen Hongchou looked up and saw Jiu Fanggui's unwavering gaze. He gritted his teeth and said, "Jiu Fanggui! Is this the surprise you were talking about? If you had told me beforehand, I wouldn't be completely unprepared today!"
Jiu Fanggui opened his mouth and uttered two words indifferently: "Scumbag."
"Ninth Brother! I really thought she was dead! I may be a womanizer, but I wouldn't be so irresponsible as to deliberately get a woman pregnant and then not take responsibility, would I?" Shen Hongchou was so anxious that his face turned red.
Jiu Fanggui hadn't finished speaking when he said, "Heartless."
"Jiufanggui!" Shen Hongchou rolled up his sleeves. "Do you want to fight?"
Jiu Fanggui tilted his head and looked at him sideways: "A cornered dog will jump over the wall and kill to silence a witness. You're threatening me, but I'm not afraid of you."
"..."
"..."
Shen Hongchou was furious, but after holding back for a while, he pointed to the door and said, "Please, you, leave, okay?"
Jiu Fanggui strolled leisurely out the door, took two steps, then thoughtfully returned and closed the door behind him. Shen Hongchou could still hear him saying to his assistant outside the door:
"Don't disturb him, he's suddenly pregnant and is extremely excited."
Shen Hongqian: (╬￣ Pan￣)
How shameless!
Downstairs, by the flower bed.
Wen Yuqiao, who had been sitting upright, sat down as if exhausted. Chang Le sat beside her without saying a word.
Wen Yuqiao kept her head down and remained silent, but after a while, the tears that had been welling up in her eyes began to fall.
Chang Le reached out and gently stroked her back, offering silent comfort.
Wen Yuqiao held her hand seeking comfort, and after a while, he calmed down and spoke with a heavy nasal tone:
“I actually wondered when I came here, what if he falls in love with someone else and doesn’t want me anymore? I know he’s a fickle man, he’s been with countless women before me. I know he might… not wait for me.”
"But," Wen Yuqiao choked up, took a breath, and continued,
“When he told me that prodigal sons should turn over a new leaf and promised to marry me, the look in his eyes and the deep affection made me really believe that I was the one who could make a prodigal son turn over a new leaf.”
"But I was wrong."
"No, I'm just a passerby. I've only left a slightly deeper mark, but with time, it will all be washed away."
Wen Yuqiao scoffed, "Oh, less than two months, it won't take long."
She touched her belly, her eyes red and swollen: "Lele, why is it that he can walk away cleanly while I have to sacrifice my whole life, even though we're both lovers?"
Chang Le didn't know how to answer, but suddenly remembered that ancient poem:
"A man's infatuation can be explained; a woman's infatuation cannot be explained."
Yes, most of the time, that's true.
However, Chang Le said with a smile, "But I really admire Aunt Qiao. I was shocked when she said those words so calmly and decisively! Aunt Qiao cut her losses in time. She has a long life ahead of her, and she doesn't want to waste her whole life on that ugly guy! It's not worth it!"
Wen Yuqiao was amused, and though there was a bitter taste in his mouth as he stroked his abdomen, his eyes remained resolute.
“This is my child. I will protect him and raise him well. I will definitely teach him well so that he will be a good child and not become a bastard like Shen Hongchou.”
“Yes,” Chang Le said softly, “he will be a very, very, very good person.”
Wen Yuqiao passed away when Fu Guang was four years old. Although Fu Guang did not spend much time with his mother, he had many of Wen Yuqiao's qualities.
Wen Yuqiao took good care of him, but their time together was short. Fu Guang soon lost Wen Yuqiao's love and was left to face the dark storms alone.
Chang Le felt a pang of sadness in his heart, clenched his fists, and then helplessly let them fall back down.
There's nothing she can do.
Even if this is a true account from over three hundred years ago, she cannot arbitrarily interfere with this history or change Fuguang's fate.
"Aunt Qiao, let's not talk about these unhappy things!" Chang Le stood up and took her hand. "Let's find a place to rest first."
At this moment, Jiu Fanggui walked over and said, "I've arranged accommodations. Please come with me."
Wen Yuqiao was assigned to the inner city of the underground safe city of Jingwei City, which is the safest place in Jingwei City. His neighbor was a kind woman with a child who took good care of Wen Yuqiao.
