Chapter 289 I Will Give Up
"No, I didn't even dare to let you know what happened that night, so how could I dare to tell you that I'm pregnant." Nan Jiao said with a slight twitch in her lips.
At that time, she really didn't want him to know.
Because there was no love between them, she was very clear about his dislike for her, and she would be in trouble if she told him that she was pregnant with his child.
He would surely be furious and not allow her to give birth.
She traveled through time and space to this world. Although she had blood-related relatives, she had never interacted with them and was considered a stranger.
When you suddenly have a child of your own, you naturally want to give birth to the child.
Zhan Beiheng's well-defined face was tense, his brows slightly furrowed, "Why don't you dare tell me? You are fearless, but you always provoke me!"
Why did she shrink back from doing such a thing?
Nan Jiao looked at him with bright eyes, "We were sworn enemies back then. What would you do if I told you that I was pregnant with your child?"
Zhan Beiheng looked into her eyes and said, "I will let you give birth to the child, but I will take the child away."
If it was five years ago.
He probably would.
After all, at that time, he had no feelings for her, or rather, he had feelings for her but didn't realize it.
"I knew you would do this, so how could I tell you that that was the child I carried for ten months with great effort?" Nan Jiao glared at him angrily.
Zhan Beiheng held her in his arms and whispered in her ear, "I'm sorry."
Because she knew he would snatch the child away, she didn't dare to tell him. She endured the hardship of pregnancy alone and even planned to raise the child alone.
Nan Jiao listened to his apology and felt a lump in her throat. “Although I didn’t plan to tell you at that time, after the children are born, I will tell them that you are their father.
I will even continue to provoke you, and if one day you like me, I will tell you the truth. "
She didn't tell him about her pregnancy, but she didn't plan to have nothing to do with him forever.
Because she fell in love with him.
If she continued to look for him and he did not fall in love with her or wanted to marry the princess, she would turn around and not tell him about the existence of the children.
This was her plan four years ago.
I just didn't expect that everything would be messed up because of going to the Island of Sin.
As fate would have it, they got married, and became husband and wife. Two children miraculously came to them, and the family of four was reunited. It was magical.
Perhaps, this is destiny.
"What if I don't like you?" Zhan Beiheng couldn't help but ask curiously.
"I will give up and live our carefree life with my children." Nan Jiao curled her red lips, with a wanton and ostentatious smile between her eyebrows.
Zhan Beiheng reached out and touched her head, his eyes warmed, and he lowered his head and kissed her on the lips, "In the future, we will live a carefree life with our children."
He was glad that she returned to the capital four years ago so that they could meet again.
Nan Jiao's dark eyes smiled brightly, her posture charming, and she said straightforwardly, "Okay, but why are you suddenly asking these questions today?"
Zhan Beiheng pursed his thin lips and told him what happened in the Prince Rui's Mansion where Zhan Qingheng was placed.
Nan Jiao chuckled, feeling a bit amused and helpless, "What's the point of arguing about this? Let's have another child and give you a chance to show your talents."
Zhan Beiheng's dark pupils were dazzling and his chest was so soft, "Well, I will satisfy you."
Nan Jiao couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.
Once, when she was pregnant, she had fantasized about how he would behave if they were in love.
I didn't expect that one day, my wish would come true.
The two of them immediately entered the Sutra Library, which had five floors in total. When the two young monks saw them coming, they bowed to them. At that time, there were some pilgrims in the Sutra Library.
Some people were reading scriptures, and some were copying scriptures.
Nan Jiao and Zhan Beiheng searched quietly. There was no place to hide people on the second to fifth floors. They took a quick look and returned to the first floor.
"Young master, are all the scriptures in the temple collected here?" Nan Jiao asked a young monk.
"Princess Jin, everything is here." The little monk said respectfully.
A few days ago, Prince Jin led people to search the temple, causing a lot of commotion. Now the entire temple knows about it, and everyone is helping to look for it.
He has been in the Sutra Repository for many years. There is no such thing as a place where one could live for more than ten years.
Nan Jiao looked around again, then pulled Zhan Beiheng away and headed straight to the temple's courtyard where they prepared vegetarian meals, which was quite spacious.
Perhaps it is because the temple itself is crowded, and with so many pilgrims coming every day, a lot of food needs to be prepared, which is why it occupies a large area.
Nan Jiao looked around the entire yard.
The last time she came here, she was quite skeptical about this place. After all, behind the yard was the back mountain of the temple. If she hid someone in the back mountain, she could send food here.
But I didn’t find it last time.
Looks like I have to look carefully today.
Nanny Qiu said that the Mu family returned from the west, which is this area.
Mu doesn't seem like someone who is interested in scriptures.
There were no scriptures in the yard where she lived.
"Let's look carefully here and in the back hills outside. Compared to other places in the temple, I think mother is most likely hiding here." Nan Jiao said based on her intuition.
"Okay." After Zhan Beiheng heard what Nanny Qiu said, he also felt that there would be an area in the west, and Mu would not come here alone for no reason.
Mo Li and Mo Ran immediately split up with their people to look for it.
Nan Jiao stared at the yard. It was a huge courtyard house. She had searched it carefully last time, even the cellar where food was stored.
"I don't think the person is in the temple." Zhan Beiheng expressed his opinion. His people have been trained and have strong searching capabilities.
But for so many days, nothing was found in the temple.
The wise masters also said that there is no underground dark room.
"Let's go take a look at the back." Nan Jiao looked towards the back mountain.
Zhan Beiheng led her to the back of the yard. As soon as they got to the back, they saw a thin man with a slightly hunched figure moving garbage from the kitchen.
Nan Jiao stared at him and walked towards him, "Uncle, where are you going to transport these things?"
The middle-aged man who was moving the dirty baskets put the things on the cart and said calmly, "There is a place in the back mountain that specializes in handling these things."
"Are you leaving right away? We'll go with you." Nan Jiao said with a smile.
The middle-aged man nodded and continued to move things. After the cart was full, he dragged the cart along the road towards the back mountain.
Nan Jiao and Zhan Beiheng followed.
In winter, the back mountain is desolate and barren, with no scenery to see.
A moment later.
The middle-aged man dragged the cart to a relatively flat place at the back of the mountain, then moved all the debris off the cart and dumped it together in a pile.
"The waste from the kitchen is transported here and will be incinerated after a while. Why are you interested in this?" The middle-aged man asked them after he finished.
"How long have you been in the temple?" Nan Jiao asked casually, looking around to see if there was any place where someone could hide.
"For many years, I have been helping Dacheng Temple to deal with kitchen waste." The middle-aged man said as he put the dirty basket back on the cart.
