Chapter 1165: Having a child means taking responsibility and getting married
The sound of rain outside the window was shocking, and the leaves were swaying in the wind and rain, baring their fangs and claws like the tentacles of a devil, trying to drag everything into the abyss of darkness.
Ye Zhi struggled out of Sheng Ting's arms, his sight met with suffocating darkness, his whole body seemed to sink into a quagmire, without a trace of light.
The arms wrapped around his waist pulled him up, pressing him against the broad chest.
A faint woody aroma wafted from Sheng Ting, it was the smell of laundry detergent.
Ye Zhi opened his eyes, and the man's deep gaze pierced through the darkness and locked onto him accurately, like a ray of light, burning his entire body.
Ye Zhi trembled slightly in Sheng Ting's arms. The continuous raindrops outside seemed to fall on him, and the wetness stained his skin.
Sheng Ting kissed him forcefully and domineeringly, not allowing him to escape. Once he found that he had any intention of escaping, he would catch him back and trap him in his arms again.
She kissed him without holding back, but was careful not to touch his pregnant belly when she hugged him.
She pressed forward very measuredly, wrapping her strong arms around him, and they were inseparable all night long.
Sheng Ting knew the limits very well, and he would neither make him feel uncomfortable nor torment him until his legs became weak.
After being carried out of the bathroom, Ye Zhi was sitting on the bed wrapped in a bath towel. His exposed arms were white with a rosy glow, and his eyes were still misty.
Sheng Ting walked up to him and looked at him with his eyes downcast: "Are you feeling better now?"
Ye Zhi thought about what had just happened, and his cheeks flushed uncontrollably: "You...can't do that again, it's very dangerous, what if you hurt the child?"
"I know my limits." Sheng Ting brought pajamas over and put them on Ye Zhi.
Ye Zhi was enclosed in the broad chest, his breath floating above his head, and the light shower gel was like a red rose blooming in the garden.
"You changed your body wash."
The shower gel used to smell like mint, but today it smells like rose.
Sheng Ting: "Don't you like roses?"
Ye Zhi was startled, and his heart seemed to be moved by something, causing ripples.
It turns out that Sheng Ting always remembered that he liked roses.
Sheng Ting loosened his arms around him and walked over to him to button up his pajamas.
Ye Zhi was tucked into the quilt. Sheng Ting stood by the bed and said, "Go to sleep first. I still have work to do."
While taking a shower, he received news from abroad that more documents needed to be prepared for the bidding.
Now that Ye Zhi is back, he can focus on his work.
Sheng Ting was about to leave the bedroom when Ye Zhi grabbed his arm.
He looked back and asked, "Do you need me to accompany you to fall asleep?"
Ye Zhi pursed his lips and said, "Boss Sheng, I know there is a bidding project abroad that needs you to handle. I am taking this opportunity to run away."
Sheng Ting's tone was calm: "Isn't it too late to confess now?"
Ye Zhi: "I want to ask, since you have a child, why do you want to break off the engagement with Miss Qin?"
"Now that you have a child, of course I have to break off my engagement with Qin Gaoyue."
When Sheng Ting learned the news that Ye Zhi had escaped, there was only one thought in his mind.
If he finds Ye Zhi, he will definitely marry Ye Zhi.
He wanted to use marriage as a chain to keep Ye Zhi by his side forever.
Ye Zhi couldn't understand Sheng Ting's thoughts, and he didn't want to follow Sheng Ting any longer without knowing the reason.
He asked directly: "Miss Qin is pregnant, and she is carrying your child. Shouldn't you be responsible for her?"
Sheng Ting grasped the key to this sentence: "Did you know Qin Gaoyue was pregnant?"
"When I went to the company that day, I heard what you and Miss Qin said."
Ye Zhi lowered his eyes, heartache and loneliness hidden in his eyes.
Sheng Ting found out the reason why Ye Zhi escaped, and accused him of a crime after hearing only a few words. Fortunately, he came back in time to catch him. If it was a day later, Ye Zhi would have run away with the child.
Sheng Ting didn't rush to clarify. He hid the glint in his eyes and said, "Ye Zhi, according to you, if you have a child, you have to take responsibility and get married?"
Ye Zhi: "This is also a way to be responsible for the child. The child needs a healthy family."
Sheng Ting: "Do you care about these things?"
Ye Zhi: “I care.”
Ye Zhi was persuading Sheng Ting to marry Qin Gaoyue. In fact, this decision was very cruel to him, but he would rather give Sheng Ting to someone else than let them continue to entangle with him.
He was tired and just wanted to live a peaceful life with his children.
Sheng Ting stared into Ye Zhi's eyes, his eyes dark and unclear: "Since you say so, I will do as you wish."
Sheng Ting turned and walked into the darkness, disappearing outside the door.
Ye Zhi looked in the direction he left, and slowly buried his face in the quilt, trying to hide the sadness in his eyes.
The wind and rain roared outside the window all night long, and raindrops hit the floor-to-ceiling windows. Ye Zhi fell into a deep sleep amid the chaotic sounds.
When I woke up in the morning, it was gloomy outside the window. The leaves covered with water droplets were swaying in the wind. The water droplets fell and left long trails along the eaves.
Ye Zhi stared out the window for a long time until the servant came and knocked on the door.
"Mr. Ye, are you awake?"
The servant spoke in a low voice, not daring to push the door open. He stood outside the door cautiously, peeking inside through the open gap.
"Get up." Ye Zhi sat up from the bed.
The servant asked, "Would you like breakfast?"
Ye Zhi: "I'm going downstairs to eat."
After the servant left, Ye Zhi put on his clothes and went into the bathroom to wash up.
Ye Zhi walked to the restaurant downstairs. The servants had already prepared an exquisite breakfast, filling the table.
Ye Zhi sat at the table and found that Sheng Ting had not shown up.
"Mr. Sheng is not at home?"
"Boss Sheng said he had something to do at the company and left before daybreak."
The servant served a bowl of nutritious porridge and placed it in front of Ye Zhi: "Boss Sheng told you to eat on time. He won't be back for two days. There will be many bodyguards at home to protect your safety during his absence."
They said it was to protect his safety, but in fact it was just a disguised form of surveillance. Ye Zhi knew he couldn't escape, so he could only accept his fate and stay in the room.
Sheng Ting did not confiscate his phone. Ye Zhi saw that there were many posts in the small group of three people. Yu Ranxing and Lu Yun were both concerned about his recent situation.
Ye Zhi sent a message in the group: [I'm fine, President Sheng didn't make things difficult for me.]
As soon as he sent the message, Lu Yun’s video invitation came.
Ye Zhi agreed to the invitation, and the faces of Yu Ranxing and Lu Yun appeared on the screen.
Lu Yun leaned closer to the screen and looked at him: "Ye Zhi, let me see if my brother has chained you up?"
Ye Zhi: “No.”
Lu Yun: "I don't believe it! My eldest brother is a tyrant. There is nothing he can't do, except what we can't think of. If you are coerced, just blink your eyes."
Ye Zhi: “…”
Ye Zhi stood up from the sofa and turned around with his phone in hand: "Boss Sheng didn't lock me up."
Yu Ranxing is a detail-oriented person: "You are wearing Brother Sheng's pajamas. His possessiveness is terrifying."
Ye Zhi was embarrassed: "This dress...I just put it on casually."
Lu Yun said angrily, "Don't you have any clothes? My eldest brother makes so much money, but he doesn't even buy you a pair of pajamas. He's such a stingy person. Wait for me to call and scold him severely."
"No!" Ye Zhi hurriedly explained: "I have clothes, they are in the cloakroom."
He ran to the cloakroom, opened the cabinet and put his phone there.
"The clothes in this closet..."
"Fuck!" Lu Yun screamed, "My brother is so perverted! Why does he like this kind of tune?"
There was a door in the cloakroom with a lot of thin shirts hanging behind it. They were all revealing and it was obvious that they were not serious clothes.
Ye Zhi: “…”
This dress... When did you buy it? It wasn't there last time I checked!
Yu Ranxing: "Brother Sheng looks serious, but he's so extravagant in private!"
Ye Zhi hesitated: "I have never worn this dress before."
"What? You haven't worn it. Did your brother buy it for someone else?"
Lu Yun spoke without thinking. He raised his hand and slapped his mouth: "I spoke without restraint."
Ye Zhi closed the cabinet door calmly, not caring about what Lu Yun had just said.
Lu Yun couldn't understand his feelings towards Sheng Ting, so he asked cautiously, "Ye Zhi, what's going on between you and my brother?"
Ye Zhi: "Mr. Sheng and I have known each other for a long time and have been together for more than two years."
Lu Yun exclaimed: "Big brother is a liar, he always said that he didn't have such a boyfriend."
"Lu Yun!" Yu Ranxing interrupted him and came to Ye Zhi's rescue.
Ye Zhi saw Yu Ranxing's intentions and frankly told the truth without any reservations: "Boss Sheng and I were not in a relationship at the beginning. He provided me with resources, and I accompanied him... I just stayed by his side. Later, he was getting married, and we lost contact. We got back together when the company got into trouble last time. The manager forced me to drink with him, and Boss Sheng came to my rescue. That day, I was plotting against Boss Sheng... That's how we got this child."
Ye Zhi felt that there was nothing left to say. Sheng Ting was going to marry Qin Gaoyue after all, and they would eventually go their separate ways.
Ye Zhi didn't want Yu Ranxing and Lu Yun to think that Sheng Ting was a scumbag who abandoned his wife after they broke up. Sheng Ting owed him nothing from the beginning to the end. He provided him with enough resources and his emotional support was just one-sided.
"I ran away this time not because Mr. Sheng treated me badly, nor because he didn't want the child. After he found out I was pregnant, he wanted me to give birth to the child, but I knew the difference in status between him and me, so I wanted to take the child and leave."
Ye Zhi wanted to get rid of the father and keep the son. Lu Yun was stunned: "Ye Zhi, you are so awesome! You want the child but not my brother. My brother didn't lock you up at home. He really loves you."
Ye Zhi smiled bitterly: "It's not locked, but there are bodyguards outside the door."
"That's just like my eldest brother's style." Lu Yuan was puzzled. "Why did you run away with the child? Wouldn't it be better for you to stay with my eldest brother? Don't consider the difference in status. My family doesn't care about that. My father was also poor and powerless at the time, but he still fascinated my father. Being loyal is the family tradition of the Sheng family, and my eldest brother is the same. He is willing to let you keep the child, so he must like you."
Ye Zhi's eyes turned red: "Qin Gaoyue is pregnant."
"What?" Lu Yun cursed fiercely: "My eldest brother is such a scumbag, he eats what he has in his bowl and still wants to keep an eye on what's in the pot."
Yu Ranxing: "Since Qin Gaoyue is pregnant, why did Brother Sheng cancel the engagement?"
Lu Yun: "My eldest brother must want to raise one child at home and one outside."
Yu Ranxing: “…”
Don’t say that!
Your eldest brother has no wife, and you definitely deserve credit for this.
