"If you hadn't kidnapped me, I could have lived happily in Shangjing City. With my mother taking care of me during pregnancy and delivery, I would have definitely given birth to this child safely."
Her eyes were filled with tears. “Although my father did not favor me, he was the Prime Minister of the Imperial Court, assisting the Emperor in managing all military and national affairs, second only to the Emperor.
My mother was the legitimate child of a second-rank minister of the Ministry of Personnel, my father-in-law was a first-rank general, and my mother-in-law was the emperor's sister, Princess Nan, both of whom held noble status.
My husband is a fifth-rank General Hongyi. He has made military achievements at such a young age, and his future is limitless."
"If you hadn't forcibly abducted me here, I, a wife of an official, would have lived a comfortable and happy life with this background.
If I give birth to a boy, he will be the grandson of the general's mansion and the grandson of the prime minister's mansion, and everyone will love and care about him."
Su Qingci was so angry that he pointed at his nose and cursed, "Isn't he much better than your stepfather!?"
Yan Xuanye opened his mouth to speak, and there was a moment of softness and regret in his eyes, but he finally held it back.
He looked painful and murmured, "But, you should have been my woman, and it was Lu Huan who stole you away."
Su Qingci guessed that maybe it was because he had drunk some wine that he seemed easier to talk to today, so she began to persuade him.
"Nothing should have been like this. Even if...even if what the wizard said was true, even if we should have been together, so what? We missed it. I've already married someone else."
"Let the past be the past, isn't that good?"
Seeing Yan Xuanye's confused and bewildered eyes, she continued slowly, "The child in my belly is someone else's. The mistake has been made. Yan Xuanye, I am not worthy of you. If I stay with you, what will happen if others find out that this child doesn't look like you?"
"They'll laugh at you."
"So, let me go, okay?"
Yan Xuanye stared coldly into her eyes, his hands still holding her wrists, and the two of them just stared at each other.
It was not until Su Qingci noticed that his confused eyes became increasingly cold and resolute that she knew that Yan Xuanye would not agree.
A wild and cold aura enveloped her entire body. Su Qingci shook off his hand and tried to escape, but was dragged back by Yan Xuanye and thrown hard onto the couch.
He secretly untied his belt, his tone cold, "I don't understand, what exactly am I inferior to Lu Huan? Why do you avoid me like a flood or a beast?"
"Why do you love him and not me? Why!?"
Under Su Qingci's horrified gaze, he undressed himself leisurely and easily, then threw them casually on the carpet. His movements were so light and leisurely that he seemed not afraid at all that she would run away.
His large palm gently touched her belly, caressing it softly through her dress, his eyes filled with lust and anger. "It's been almost three months, we should be able to do it now."
