Chapter 212: Who did I offend?
Chapter 212: Who did I offend?
At the upstairs staircase, Zhao Xi, who was walking very slowly, heard what Yi Chen and others said downstairs, and stood there for a while with his head down.
When she looked up again, she had returned to normal. She picked up her cell phone, operated some operations on it, then put on a typical smile and pushed open the door of the upstairs room.
In a room with the same decoration style as the one downstairs, Qin Chuan, dressed in black, was sitting cross-legged on a leather sofa with a cigarette in his hand.
With the other hand, he shook the little white liquid left in the goblet.
After just one night's absence, his entire temperament changed completely, and his expression was no longer gentle. When he saw her coming, he didn't even raise his head, but lowered his eyes. She couldn't see the emotions in his eyes.
The trembling body and hands yesterday had calmed down, but somehow, she felt that the calm Qin Chuan was more terrifying than when he was not calm. The whole person was shrouded in a cold aura, and people dared not approach him.
Zhao Xi stood still, looking at the man he had been thinking about for a while, before he walked over and sat opposite Qin Chuan.
"Achuan." Zhao Xi called him, his voice as soft as water.
Qin Chuan didn't answer, nor did he look up. He continued to smoke with his head down, only his handsome eyebrows were wrinkled.
Seeing this, Zhao Xi did not rush him, but waited until the man finished smoking and put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray.
She looked at the half-empty cigarette butt and spoke gently.
"Achuan, why do you smoke so many cigarettes all of a sudden?"
Qin Chuan ignored it, feeling uncomfortable with his empty hands.
He picked up the cigarette box, took out another one, and lowered his head to light it.
You can't smell cigarettes when you're pregnant. Seeing Qin Chuan not caring about it, Zhao Xi felt very uncomfortable.
But thinking of her purpose, she suppressed the disappointment in her eyes, tried to smile, and continued her own words.
"You even asked Assistant Gao to bring me to the club. If there's anything, you can tell me when you get home."
Go home? Go back to her apartment?
When Qin Chuan heard these two words, his thin lips finally curled up, but it was a sarcastic and cold smile.
It seems that what my childhood friend Yi Chen said is right.
There is a kind of woman who is always like this. She looks gentle and pleasing, but in fact, she leads him step by step and gradually into the trap she has set.
This is what Zhao Xi is like now. He wanted to give her a villa but she refused and insisted on buying an apartment with her own money. The two of them had no name or status except for the child. How come they became a "family" in the blink of an eye?
Thinking of this, Qin Chuan frowned even deeper. He took a deep breath, and as he puffed out smoke, he looked up through the swirling smoke and looked at the smiling woman opposite him.
The answer is irrelevant to the question and it is also a double entendre.
"Zhao Xi, why don't you just tell me directly, what exactly do you want to achieve?"
The topic jumped too fast, Zhao Xi couldn't keep up, and asked him confusedly: "Achuan, what do you mean? What purpose can I have?"
"Bang!" Qin Chuan placed the high-heeled glass on the black glass table neither lightly nor heavily. Qin Chuan leaned his back against the sofa, his hand holding the cigarette resting on his folded long legs, his eyes showing uncontrollable alienation and coldness.
"What have you done? You don't know?"
Hearing this, Zhao Xi felt uneasy.
Could it be that...he knew something?
Impossible! Those things had not been discovered in the past two years. It was impossible for Qin Chuan to suddenly know about them overnight.
It must be something else.
But Zhao Xi wasn't sure what it was about. Thinking of what Yi Chen had just said, she suppressed the panic in her eyes, looked at him with a blank look, and answered ambiguously.
"What could I have done? The most I have done is to love you. I love you. I want to have a child with you and give the child a home. You know that."
At the end of his speech, Zhao Xi's eyes were full of grievance and tenderness.
Qin Chuan did not miss her flashing eyes.
Thinking of his father's anger, Qin Chuan was in no mood to waste time talking to her and went straight to the point.
"What do you think about the Weibo matter?"
This is indeed what happened.
Zhao Xi was well prepared, so she was relieved.
The tone was unprecedentedly gentle, with a hint of grievance.
"I just slipped and deleted it afterwards. If you don't believe me, just look at it."
As he spoke, Zhao Xi took out his mobile phone and opened the Weibo interface.
After making sure Qin Chuan had seen it, she put away her phone, her clear eyes misted over: "I just didn't expect it to become such a big deal. Ah Chuan, is this why you're mad at me? I'm sorry, I know I was wrong."
Qin Chuan thought that three minutes ago, he was still looking at the comments under her Weibo, but now, she was holding the deleted Weibo and presenting evidence in front of him, leaving him speechless.
He sneered, his handsome face showing undisguised sarcasm.
If I hadn't paid attention to the latest updates on the Internet, I would have believed her under normal circumstances, right?
Since when did this woman become so scheming?
Or have I been deceived all along?
Can he still love Zhao Xi as much as before?
Does he still dare to love Zhao Xi like this?
Is she still the gentle, innocent and kind big sister?
He knew it wasn't.
He can't love anymore, and he dares not love anymore.
Qin Chuan lowered his head and took a few more puffs of his cigarette. The dead silence lasted for about three minutes before Qin Chuan put out the unfinished cigarette. When he spoke, his voice was colder than ever before.
"Kid, beat him. It's good for everyone."
Zhao Xi thought that the Weibo incident was over, but he didn't expect Qin Chuan to mention it. Instead, he jumped directly to the issue of the child.
And asked her to abort the child!
This is, he believed what happened on Weibo, but he still didn't want their child?
"why?"
She looked at the man in front of her in disbelief, unable to believe that he would be so cruel.
She thought that after the last incident of buying sweet potatoes, he would not mention the matter of aborting the child again!
I didn't expect him to bring it up again.
Thinking of the child she was about to lose, the mist in her eyes gradually condensed and turned into tears that rolled down.
What is the reason that makes him dislike his own child so much?
Obviously he was not like this before. When he was young and pursuing me, even if she just had a cold, he would take leave and disobey everyone to spend a day with me.
If she got injured during the sports meet, he would feel heartbroken for a week. Even if it was just a minor wound, he would take the medicine box and personally take care of her for seven days.
Later, he launched a fierce pursuit of her. In front of so many people in the school, he explicitly rejected the confessions of several beautiful girls and declared that he only loved her.
Now, she was pregnant with his child, and he asked her to abort it again and again?
That's the fruit of their love, doesn't he feel sorry for it?
He is not afraid of having an abortion. Wouldn't she be in excruciating pain?
She really doesn't understand!
It’s also unacceptable!
Zhao Xi shed tears and waited for Qin Chuan's answer.
Qin Chuan no longer had the desire to explain, and said calmly: "I have already explained the reason very clearly. Fighting is good for everyone. As for how good it is, Zhao Xi, I remember that you are always smart, you can think about it yourself."
"I don't understand!" Zhao Xi felt aggrieved: "I don't want to understand, I just know that I don't want to abort our child! It's obviously you and I who gave birth to it! Ah Chuan, you can't be so heartless."
Thinking that the last card was going to be gone, Zhao Xi couldn't sit still and stood up directly.
Qin Chuan thought about the month of the child. It should be the night of Zhao Xi's birthday after she was discharged from the hospital with her injured leg. He explained: "I did say that I wanted you to have a child, but it wasn't you who coaxed me into having one when I was half drunk."
He drank a little too much that night, but he still remembered some memories, including what she said, but he didn't want to care about it at the time.
"I didn't coax her." Zhao Xi denied: "You said you loved me, so we had this child."
When Qin Chuan saw that she denied it, disappointment flashed in his eyes.
"Okay, if you say no, then so be it. I have nothing to say, but now this child cannot be kept. As long as you abort the child, you can set any conditions."
Conditions, just open it at will?
When Zhao Xi heard these words, he was moved for a second. His clear eyes flickered slightly, but he was weighing things quickly in his mind.
Should I catch this man? Or should I make some conditions and get some money?
Getting a large sum of money can indeed solve many problems, and you can even become a wealthy man yourself.
Wealthy women are not uncommon in modern society, and thinking of their elegance, Zhao Xi admitted that he was moved.
It is such a good deal to be able to cross the class barrier with a carefully-earned child. Besides, if you miss this opportunity, you will never get it again!
But...the money will eventually run out, but the Qin family will remain standing!
Thinking of Qin who came back from the dead and what Yi Chen said, Zhao Xi had the answer the next second.
She wiped away the tears from her eyes and said firmly, "I don't want money, Ah Chuan, I love you, I want to give birth to your child, even if I am cursed by everyone, even if I die of poverty, even if you don't want to see me and force me to leave my hometown with the child, I will give birth to him!"
Qin Chuan was taken aback.
When he mentioned the conditions, he had already seen the struggle in Zhao Xi's eyes.
I didn't expect that she would say such words as soon as she opened her mouth.
For the sake of their child, she would rather have nothing?
Such a persistent and gentle Zhao Xi made him think of the gentle Zhao Xi whom he had a crush on in his youth.
Zhao Xi was like this before, so gentle that it frightened him, and she would compromise on everything just because she loved him.
For example, she was bullied by his suitor for a month, but she refused to say anything. If he hadn't accidentally seen the injuries on her body, he wouldn't have known about it.
He was heartbroken and asked her why she didn't tell him. She said, "I don't want these things to have a bad influence on you. I just want to know that you like me."
There are many more things like this.
Just now Yi Chen said that Zhao Xi was scheming. After careful observation, he found that it was indeed true. However, seeing how he was willing to give up all his wealth and glory for the sake of his child, he no longer believed it.
Which one is the real Zhao Xi?
Qin Chuan stared at the woman in front of him, and the despair on his handsome face was replaced by confusion.
When Zhao Xi saw the familiar expression on his face, he knew that this man's heart was beginning to waver again.
She was happy in her heart, but her face was full of pain.
"I have also told President Qin about this matter. Anyway, no matter what your decision is or what your attitude is, I am determined to have this child. If you hate me so much that you don't want to see me, I will have no complaints if you let me take the child and disappear. Even if I can't keep you, the child will be with me, and it is also what I want for the rest of my life."
After saying this, she trembled, tears rolling down her face like beads from a broken string, but her eyes were full of determination.
Qin Chuan saw how pitiful and sensible she was, and how she cared about him, and the night of his eighteenth birthday flashed through his mind again.
At that time, after the grand birthday banquet, Zhao Xi changed into his most beautiful clothes, ran up from the servants' room, and secretly celebrated his birthday.
He was struck by her charming look and wanted to kiss her, but she refused in a serious manner.
"No, you're only eighteen years old. Grandma Qin often teaches you that you should study hard in college and put your studies first, and your family and career first. Have you forgotten?"
If she was really the scheming woman that Yi Chen described, why did she reject him in his impulsive state?
