“She’s in the hospital now. She has me, Uncle Chu, and everyone arranged by her lover… What are you doing here? She doesn’t need you, and neither do I…”

Ji Fengmian paused and looked down at his clasped hands, which were trembling uncontrollably.

“Chu Boyang, do you know what I’m thinking now? I’m thinking about the child I lost…”

Chu Boyang’s body swayed and his thin lips parted. Before he could speak, Ji Fengmian said,

“Think about what I was thinking when I was trapped in that dark and damp place. I thought about how you appeared by my side miraculously every moment… Then, I thought about how I saw you guarding Ji Qing’s bed and comforting her. Then, I thought about why I lost that child…”

“You weren’t here when you needed me the most. Now that you’re standing here, do you think I have any other thoughts other than making me sick?”

Ji Fengmian’s words were like sharp metal, piercing Chu Boyang’s heart.

Everyone looked at them quietly.

Everyone was shocked.

Other than Uncle Chu, no one here knew what had happened to Ji Fengmian and Chu Boyang more than 20 years ago.

At most, they knew that the two of them must have had a relationship in the past, but they didn’t know that so much had happened between them.

Losing the child…

This was indeed a painful tragedy.

In such an awkward atmosphere, everyone watched helplessly. The silence made them feel awkward.

“You’re right,” Chu Boyan said slowly after a long time. “I’m indeed a selfish person.”

Ji Fengmian’s eyes trembled slightly and the sarcasm on his lips intensified.

“So what I want must belong to me. I can do anything.”

“Even if you hate me, I won’t let you go. Don’t even think about it.”

Ji Fengmian’s head buzzed with anger and he felt like exploding.

Veins popped out on her forehead. She pursed her lips and suddenly smiled.

“After all these years, your shamelessness and selfishness have obviously reached the peak. What if I say that I don’t want to stay by your side?”

Chu Boyang said in a strained voice, “You can choose not to, but the outcome won’t change.”

Ji Fengmian sneered and nodded. “If you don’t mind that I’m a corpse, you can.”

In this lifetime, she would never be with him again.

Chu Boyan suddenly stopped breathing.

The momentary panic made him almost lose his balance.

“Our lives have long been separated. You’re someone else’s husband and I’m someone else’s wife. Since we’re both so dirty, let’s not make each other’s lives even dirtier. Go back and nurture your son. I’ll take good care of my daughter now. We’ll be happy.”

“Let’s go. Take it that I’m asking you to return to your country and be the king of a country. It’s not like you can’t live without anyone in this world. Didn’t you lead a good life in the past?”

Ji Fengmian said calmly, sounding even more heartless.

Chu Boyan turned to look at the closed door of the examination room.

Fanxing was pregnant.

Today, he had really walked into a trap.

From the moment Ji Fengmian mentioned Fanxing’s pregnancy, he knew that his appearance this time had completely ruined all his previous efforts.

He had missed too much between them.

So much so that the usually calm and intelligent Ah Mian hated him.

What had he done?

She could make a woman who loved him hate him so much.

She was smart and open-minded. She wasn’t someone who would hate anyone…

Ji Fengmian was indeed not someone who hated others easily.

She didn’t hate Ye Jingyun for taking her bracelet and becoming the princess of Country Y.

She didn’t hate Shen Defan for helping his mistress.

The Shen family was greedy and scheming, but she didn’t hate them.

She only hated him…

Should he be glad or sad?

“Didn’t you hear me?!”

In the end, Ji Fengmian seemed to have been angered by Chu Boyang’s indifference. His low growl almost penetrated the entire corridor.

The door to the examination room opened suddenly. Shen Fanxing was lying on the bed and her eyes were fixated on everyone in the corridor.

“Madam!”

Yu Song was standing at the entrance of the examination room. When he saw Shen Fanxing, he hurried over to check on her.

Shen Fanxing shook her head and said, “I’m fine.”

With that, her gaze shifted elsewhere. Her eyes, which were lying flat, could only meet the tall man first.

Shen Fanxing looked at Chu Boyang in confusion.

Chu Boyang met her gaze and pursed his lips. He seemed to want to say something, but Shen Fanxing averted her gaze first.

She lowered her eyes to look at Ji Fengmian.

“What happened?”

Ji Fengmian shook his head calmly. “…How are the results?”

Tang Jian put her hands in the pockets of her white coat and said calmly.

“It’s nothing. There’s a bruise on my knee. It’s been treated. But you have to be careful in the future. You can’t have any bumps. You have to adjust your mood. The two babies are rare but fragile. As the mother, you have to be extra careful…”

Ji Fengmian nodded and his tense face relaxed.

Thinking of the accident in the apartment, she still felt a lingering fear.

“Shen Fanxing… I’m warning you seriously now. Even if I die, you can’t allow anything to happen to my two grandchildren. Otherwise… I’ll never forgive you!”

Shen Fanxing’s face darkened. “What nonsense are you spouting?”

Ji Fengmian closed his eyes and grabbed Shen Fanxing’s hand.

Her trembling hand felt as though it had just been taken out of ice water. The touch made Shen Fanxing’s hand move slightly.

She looked at Ji Fengmian in surprise and saw her pale and uneasy face.

“I’m not joking with you, Fanxing…”

Her hand was suddenly grabbed and she paused.

“Are you sure you want to repeat what you just said?”

“Are you sure you want me to weigh who is more important between them and you?”

Ji Fengmian didn’t say anything else.

“I won’t let anything happen to me. Even if it’s you, I don’t think you’ll love them more than I do.”

No one could experience the feelings of a mother for her.

Ji Fengmian nodded. “It’s good that you’re fine.”

“So… what happened just now? I heard your voice…”

Shen Fanxing looked at Chu Boyang again.

Chu Boyang met her gaze. “It’s me. I made your mother angry.”

Shen Fanxing narrowed her eyes and looked at him calmly. “You’re really capable. I’ve never seen my mother get angry because of anyone. This time, she almost overturned the entire hospital.”

For some reason, Chu Boyang felt much better.

At least, Mian would be emotional because of him.
