Chapter 1039: An Illegitimate Child?
Xia Xiaoman’s pregnancy was originally happy news, but unfortunately the timing wasn’t quite right. If this news had come while Chu Xiaoran was still flushed with pride at his success, it naturally would’ve been great news, but right now Chu Xiaoran was beside himself with anxiety.
In Xia Xiaoman’s heart, Chu Xiaoran was the type that could do anything, the type that could easily deal with any problem. In the end, this situation was because Xia Xiaoman didn’t understand Chu Xiaoran’s current situation enough.
But that was to be expected. There was no need for Xia Xiaoman to understand these things. She only needed to do her job, which was to attend to Chu Xiaoran and use her body to improve their feelings.
Xia Xiaoman didn’t need to do anything while staying at Chu Xiaoran’s side. She only had to wait for Chu Xiaoran to sleep with her.
“I just want to talk to you about one thing,” said Xia Xiaoman sadly. “I’ll leave right after that.”
“I’m preg…”
Before Xia Xiaoman even finished what she was saying, Chu Xiaoran interrupted her. “What? You aren’t listening to me anymore? I told you to go back!”
Xia Xiaoman’s tears instantly overflowed and she wiped at her tears as she ran out of the company. She had decided. She wouldn’t tell Chu Xiaoran about her pregnancy.
Chu Xiaoran’s attitude just now had hurt her deeply. Even if she had said that she was pregnant, based on how scary Chu Xiaoran had been just now, he’d probably hurt her child.
Xia Xiaoman bit her lips tightly. What should she do? The only thing she was certain about was that she wanted to keep this child. The miscarriage three years ago had already hurt her greatly. This child was a gift from the heavens.
Although Xia Xiaoman had decided to keep this child, she didn’t know what this child’s identity would be. She and Chu Xiaoran weren’t married, so if she gave birth to this child, it would be out of wedlock. The fact that she had been forced to become a mistress was already torment enough, she couldn’t allow her child to take on such a reputation before he was even born.
If the mother was a mistress, then the child would be an illegitimate child.
Xia Xiaoman left the company looking very lost. She didn’t know what to do. She stroked her stomach lightly. After thinking for a moment, she took out her phone and made a call.
Ning Shu was currently working. When she saw Xia Xiaoman’s call, she lifted her brows. What was Xia Xiaoman calling her for? She thought that after she called Xia Xiaoman trash last time, Xia Xiaoman would insist on never having contact with her again, but Xia Xiaoman was actually calling her?
Ning Shu cleared her throat, then accepted the call. The person on the other side first cried, Big Brother Wenlang, then started weeping.
Ning Shu hung up without a word and while at it, blocked Xia Xiaoman’s number. She didn’t want to deal with Xia Xiaoman’s issues at all.
She was currently preparing the items needed to sue Chu Xiaoran and didn’t have time to pay attention to Xia Xiaoman. Whether Xia Xiaoman was going to court death or not had nothing to do with her. It wasn’t her responsibility to look after Xia Xiaoman and be her emotional trash can.
However, to Ning Shu’s surprise, Xia Xiaoman actually ran to the law firm to look for her. When Xia Xiaoman saw Ning Shu, before she even said a word, her tears overflowed again.
Ning Shu made her gaze blank like she didn’t see Xia Xiaoman. When Xia Xiaoman saw that Ning Shu wasn’t speaking, she had no choice but to speak first. Her voice contained a strong nasally tone as she cried, “Big Brother Wenlang.”
After that, she started crying again. There were a lot of people walking around in the law firm and they all kept glancing at Xia Xiaoman who was weeping with a flushed face.
Ning Shu rubbed her forehead. “Stop crying, let’s talk in the office.”
“Big Brother Wenlang.” When Xia Xiaoman saw the irritation on Ning Shu’s face, she felt really hurt. Chu Xiaoran had been fierce towards her, and even Big Brother Wenlang was like this towards her.
Xia Xiaoman’s expression flickered. She didn’t even know why she was living this way anymore. She just wanted the people she cared about to be happy. The people she cared about included Big Brother Wenlang. The reason she had endured everything was for the sake of the people she cared about.
“I said stop bawling. Let’s talk in the office,” repeated Ning Shu. When she saw Xia Xiaoman’s completely hurt expression like the world was ending, she was baffled.
Xia Xiaoman’s greatest talent was probably her ability to make even the simplest matter a heartbreaking affair. Her constant self-tormenting behavior was seriously unbelievable.
Xia Xiaoman followed Ning Shu into the office and sat down on the sofa. She was still wiping at her tears. Ning Shu closed the door, then sat down opposite Xia Xiaoman and asked, “Why were you looking for me?”
