Chapter 112: I can be the bad guy (2/2)

I’m not sure.

“From our perspective, she should get an abortion. I know even Wen Yufan would choose her over the child. But every life has the right to be born. Each person also has the right to make his/her own decision. If Gao Jialan insists on giving birth to the child, I don’t know what else I could say.”

“You don’t have to say anything. Just remain still and make a phone call to tell your wonderful boyfriend to bring her here. Then, we are finished.”

“So you already know everything.”

“I can be the bad guy. You guys just need to pretend you don’t know anything.”

“Can you...give me some time to think about it? Give me a week. Allow Gao Jialan to remain in our apartment for a week and I’ll give you an answer. If possible, I’ll try to persuade her.”

“A week?” Wen Yihan thought about it. Then, he agreed to my suggestion. “Fine. I’ll give you a week. Please be cautious.”

“Ok, I’m going to leave now…” There was no need to remain any longer. I’ve already found out the truth. Now, my steps felt very heavy.

“Wait, I’m going to get someone to escort you back.”

“No, it’s alright. You can go to bed.”

Suddenly, I thought of something. “Oh yeah, can you contact your subordinates and tell them to release a guy that they had captured?”

Just like that, Shen Shaoqian and I headed home together. He was physically exhausted, while I was mentally exhausted.

-----

Wen Yihan gave me a week. Deep down, I knew he wanted me to convince Gao Jialan to get an abortion within this week. But to a mother, deliberately killing your own child was easier said than done.

Furthermore, now that Wen Yufan was no longer alive, most likely, Gao Jialan was even more determined than ever to keep the child.

I arrived back just a bit after Suyang. While I was heading towards the building, I could see Suyang dashing out. We made eye contact with each other and he hesitated for a second. Then, he tightly wrapped his arms around me.

Whenever I snuggled against Suyang’s broad chest, I always feel a sense of security. I dug my head into his chest as I greedily inhaled the scent that purely belonged to him.

“Are you alright?” His voice was very light. It was far lighter than the hand that he was stroking my head with.

I smiled and he tightened his arm around me. I raised my head and brightly gazed at him, “I’m fine. Were you planning to come looking for me?”

“You silly, do you honestly think I would leave you there by yourself?”

Sometimes, I feel like Suyang was very dependable.

“I’m fine!” Although I didn’t want to, I had to break out of Suyang’s embrace because it was too awkward to chat in such position.

Then, I walked a few circles around Suyang and said, “Your baby came home unscratched.”

Hearing my joking tone, Suyang raised his brows. “Pshh… baby…? Who says you’re my baby?”

“What?” I ruthlessly pinched Suyang’s face with my two hands. “If I’m not your baby, who is your baby, huh?? Who dares to be your baby?”

Suyang showed me his cell phone. On the display was Shen Shaoqian’s 'potato' message. By now, Suyang’s face was looking kind of distorted from all my pinching.

Suyang tried to act foolish. “I was talking about Shaoqian.”

“Hmm….” I released my hands as I smiled at Suyang. “Honestly, I can’t compete with Shen Shaoqian. You two have been gay together for decades. I feel bad separating you two.”

“So, you and Shen Shaoqian left together?”

How come Suyang is questioning me as if I had just been released from prison?

“Yeah. I think by now, your baby is already home and asleep?” I looked down at my watch. “He was quite scared today. On the way home, he kept telling me how the security guards were very bulky and scary. They looked like gangsters. So, I told him to go home and stop scaring himself. I told him to wash up and go to sleep.”

Suddenly, I recalled Shen Shaoqian’s helpless expression while we were walking home. It was incredibly funny and I couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

“What’s wrong with you?” Suyang thought it was extremely random of me.

I waved my hand and wiped the tears that were coming out from the corner of my eyes. “Nothing… haha! I was just thinking about Shen Shaoqian’s expression… haha! So funny! Tomorrow, make sure you buy some fruits and visit your baby. Give him some comfort!”

“By the way, I want to know how you two managed to escape?”
