Chapter 215: Love (2/2)

Still angry, Gui Guzi kicked One True Love one last time before finally backing off.

I sneaked a glance at Beiming Xue and noticed that she had calmed down slightly. Clearly, she meant it when she said that she no longer had any feelings for One True Love. There was no way she could watch us beat the living shit out of him without reacting otherwise.

It was at this moment Du Thirteen asked me, “What should we do now?”

I replied, “Call 120 and send him to the hospital. I’ll talk to the police and pay the fine if they come asking for questions.”

“Okay!”

One True Love wasn’t alone, but his goons quickly realized we outnumbered them by a lot. Worried about their own wellbeing, they hurriedly picked up One True Love and rushed out of the building without even demanding the medical fee.

Murong Mingyue frowned at their departing backs before letting out a quiet sigh. “Ai…”

……

I supported Beiming Xue all the way to her room and tried to put her on the bed. However, she kept clinging to me and cried so much that it felt like my whole shirt was drenched with her tears.

Patting Beiming Xue’s back lightly, I whispered, “Don’t be sad anymore, Beiming. Everyone is destined to make a lot of choices in their life, and yes, you made a mistake that one time. But it’s not a mistake worth being sad about. You’ll use it as a learning experience and be wiser in the future, right?”

“Mn…”

Beiming Xue agreed, but she still couldn’t stop crying.

I caressed her hair before asking her the question. “Beiming, tell me. Are you pregnant?”

Beiming Xue looked up and stared at me in panic.

I gave her a reassuring smile before wiping the tears on her cheeks. “Let’s go to the hospital tomorrow and get an abortion. Only then, you’ll truly be able to start afresh.”

Beiming Xue nodded through her tears. “Boss, why did I run into him first before I run into you? Why couldn’t I have met you earlier? Maybe I wouldn’t have made such a foolish mistake otherwise…”

I laughed. “That’s because I was a pretty bad person myself at the time! Everyone has to go through a period of growth before they become mature, right?”

“But you…” Beiming Xue stared at me timidly. “You are just so much better than him. Even a hair on your body is a million times better than that bastard. What was I thinking? I can’t believe I was stupid enough to fall for that kind of person…”

I laughed again. “Foolish girl, that kind of ideal person you’re imagining literally doesn’t exist in this world. Now, pick yourself up and get some rest. Tomorrow, I’ll accompany you to the hospital. After that, let’s come back and greet everyone with a whole new Beiming Xue, okay? In my memory, Lil Beiming is a confident and sunny girl whose shine can’t be diminished by anything!”

Beiming Xue watched me and tried to give me a smile. However, the smile eventually gave way to her sobbings, and tears spilled out of her tear ducts again.

Meanwhile, Murong Mingyue was standing next to a window and staring outside. She let out a sigh. No one except herself knew what she was thinking.

……

When nighttime arrived, and He Yi heard about this after returning from a meeting, she immediately came to me.

“Lu Chen, come over for a minute!”

“Huh?”

“Now!”

“Oh, okay!”

I wasn’t in the mood to log into the game anyway, so I followed He Yi out of my room until we reached a dark corridor. He Yi’s beautiful face was slightly blurry because of how dim the lighting was. She stared at me and asked seriously, “I heard that Beiming Xue is pregnant. Is that true?”

“Mn.”

“I also heard that the baby is yours. Is that true?”

“WTF? Who said that?!” I almost shouted.

He Yi let out a snort before putting a hand on my shoulder. “Relax, I won’t mind even if it’s true. We’re all young people, and who hasn’t made a mistake in their life? Still, I gotta ask: are you keeping the baby or not?”

I felt a sudden urge to kill myself as she watched me with her head tilted. I uttered through gritted teeth. “I already told you that the baby isn’t mine. Did sis spout nonsense into your ears again?”

“Huh, it really isn’t yours?”

“Of course it isn’t! It hasn’t even been a month since we knew each other, not to mention that I’ve always thought of her as a younger sister, not a love interest! Do you really think that poorly of me?”

He Yi smiled at my vehement denial and nodded. “Fine, I’ll trust you for now. What are you planning to do?”

I thought for a moment before answering, “I’ll accompany Beiming Xue to the hospital tomorrow and get her an abortion. She cannot have this child no matter what, do you agree?”

“Yeah,” He Yi said with a distant look. “Beiming Xue is still so young. Her entire life would be ruined if she had a child now. Speaking of which, how are you planning to introduce yourself when you take her to the hospital?”

“Her older brother, I guess?”

“What a good older brother you are…”

“Oh come on, it’s not what you think!”

“It so is!”

“It’s not…”

“It is!”

I let out a sorrowful sigh. If only a man’s responsibility was just earning enough money to buy a house...

……

The next day, I woke up much earlier than usual and ate breakfast. When it was past 9 am in the morning, I borrowed Murong Mingyue’s car and drove Beiming Xue to the municipal hospital.

The nurse at the register was quite pretty, and she asked me a question, probably because I was pretty handsome myself, “Which department are you registering for, handsome? Urology or gastroenterology?”
