164 I Want a Divorce 2 (1/2)

Having always taken safety precautions, he was puzzled to hear that she was pregnant. Well, contraception is indeed never a hundred percent safe, after all.

Everything had turned out to be contrary to his expectations.

Mei Yangyang and Long Tianze arrived at the hospital only to see that An Xiaoning was resting on the hospital bed after her surgery while Jin Qingyan sat by the bedside.

Jin Qingyan was the only one left accompanying her in the hospital ward after the Gu family took their leave.

Jin Qingyan stood up upon sight of their arrival. Long Tianze gave him a pat on his shoulder while Mei Yangyang glanced towards the bed. She felt like she had not seen An Xiaoning in a long time, although she had just met her a while ago. To her astonishment, the rosy and chubby cheeks An Xiaoning used to have had become sunken and hollow as she appeared as pale as a sheet.

”Has she not come to?”

”She hasn't.”

Long Tianze and Mei Yangyang stayed for a while before leaving, after which the ward was filled with silence once again.

Jin Qingyan caressed her hand while holding it in his, feeling her existence strongly.

”She was stabbed in the stomach and even had a miscarriage? Does she have nine lives or something? I can't believe she managed to survive even after all that,” Chi Rui'er said in surprise.

”Mind your words, it's a good thing she managed to stay alive,” Gu Beicheng chided while glaring at her.

”No… what I meant was that others would have died long ago if they were put in her position. She must be really lucky. It's a blessing she had managed to survive,” Chi Rui'er explained in embarrassment, putting on a pretentious smile.

”I've been constantly worried ever since she had met with the mishap. I can finally sleep in peace now. I reckon the Jin family's tyrannical ways would be all over the news soon. They actually tied us up, damn it! Fortunately, Xiaoning is alright, otherwise, it'd definitely be a great blow to the Jins,” said Gu Dongcheng as he lifted the duvet and laid down in bed.

Leaning closer towards him, Chi Rui'er asked, ”Dongcheng, you'll be turning 28 this year, have you never thought of getting married and settling down?”

”Why? You want to marry me?” he asked, running his fingers through her hair.

”Yes,” she answered, nodding.

”I don't plan on getting married just yet, I'll think about it in the future,” he said with a smile.

With a look of disappointment in her eyes, Chi Rui'er threw her arms around him and said, ”I'm in lesser of a hurry to get married than you. I'm five years younger than you anyway.”

Actually, Gu Dongcheng had no intentions of making her his wife at all. Even if he wanted to get married, he would marry a woman who was compatible with him in terms of social and economic status. A promiscuous woman like Chi Rui'er was, in fact, nothing more than an object for him to toy with.

Little did he know, the scheming Chi Rui'er had already hatched a plan to make him hers.

Seeing that he was going to bed, Chi Rui'er got up and proceeded to the kitchen to get herself some food. However, she began feeling queasy and zoomed towards the washroom to throw up as soon as she ate.

After she was done puking, she continued to eat, before throwing up again.

The entire cycle repeated itself over and over again.

Finally, it came to a halt, and she received a call from her mother.

”Hello.”

”Are you really not going to come home ever again?” asked Mrs. Chi.

”Yes, I'm never going to again. Tell me when you run out of money, I'll transfer some to you,” she said coldly, bent on never stepping foot into the house again.
