CHAPTER 313: CHAPTER 307: LENG YAN SAYS SHE WILL NEVER WANT THIS CHILD

In the early morning, Wen Nuan woke up, looking at Leng Yan’s forehead which was bruised, and felt an indescribable sensation in her heart.

Last night, she "attacked" him again.

"Awake?" Wen Nuan changed her clothes, took a bottle of medicinal oil, and gently applied it to his forehead. When she saw his eyes open, she sighed slightly in her voice, "I didn’t mean to."

"I don’t blame you." Leng Yan grabbed her hand, kissed it near his lips, his eyes holding a hint of redness: "Nuannuan, except for that Friday when you didn’t resist me because you were a bit tipsy from red wine, at other times, you still resist my affection. But, it’s okay..."

He shook his head slightly, "It’s my fault, it’s because I’ve disappointed you too much."

Wen Nuan looked at him, her lips moved, then she leaned her face against his chest, without saying a word.

She was indeed resistant; whenever he tried to kiss her deeply, her mind would conjure up images of Ji Wei covered in hickeys. If there were any further reactions, she would kick and punch him, and Leng Yan wouldn’t dare resist at all; being kicked off the bed had become quite a common occurrence.

Just like last night, he wanted to test if she still resisted, and while she was in a daze, he was kicked down, hitting his forehead on the bedside table...

"Nuannuan, did something happen yesterday?"

Leng Yan rubbed her hair and asked softly.

Ever since that intimate day, he still didn’t dare make too many moves. However, giving her a goodnight kiss on her lips had gradually been accepted. But last night, the previous reaction occurred again, which gave him a strong sense of unease.

"Yesterday..."

Wen Nuan hesitated for a moment, then decided to voice her questions. However, the ringing of her phone interrupted her words. It was Lin Xue calling, saying that after visiting her mother-in-law’s house yesterday and on the way back this morning, her car broke down. Her husband was on a business trip, and she couldn’t reach the 4S store.

"Nuannuan, can you come and pick me up? I can’t find a cab around here." Lin Xue said, frowning in distress, "The driver is in a tough spot this time."

"I’ll be right there." Wen Nuan agreed, picked up her bag, and set off.

Leng Yan called after her, "Nuannuan, last night..."

"We’ll talk about it when I get back tonight." Wen Nuan interrupted him, quickly pushing the door open and leaving. Although Lin Xue was already in her thirties, she was well protected by her husband and was quite dependent. Now with the car broken down on the road, who knows how anxious she might be.

After picking up Lin Xue, Wen Nuan felt uneasy throughout the whole day. The words "pregnancy" kept popping into her mind, and then she would think of a name, "Ji Wei."

She held her phone, unsure if she should make the call. Leng Yan had mentioned a few days ago that he was meeting an important client today.

"Nuannuan, you seem so distracted?" Lin Xue leaned in and asked with concern, "Did something happen?"

Wen Nuan snapped back to her senses and forced a smile at her, "No, it’s just that I slept too late last night, so I’m a bit off today."

"Oh, could it be..." Having experienced marriage herself, Lin Xue smiled teasingly, her eyes full of mischief, "It’s understandable for young people, just remember to take it easy."

"Master!" Wen Nuan naturally understood what Lin Xue meant and blushed with embarrassment. She wanted to explain but didn’t know where to start.

With no evidence, saying anything was pointless! Yet, that uncomfortable feeling wouldn’t go away. Before the end of her shift, she tried calling Leng Yan, but his phone was unreachable. When she called the company, the secretary said he went out in the afternoon and hadn’t returned.

"Was he with a client?" She asked another question before hanging up.

The secretary recognized her and told her the truth, "He came back after meeting a client and then went out again, without saying where. But..."

She paused slightly, sounding puzzled, "Second Young Master seemed in a hurry, and his face looked off. Do you think he might be unwell?"

Wen Nuan hung up the phone, her heart filled with restless anxiety.

His face didn’t look good, was he sick? His stomach had always been delicate; could it be serious this time?

She repeatedly redialed while holding the phone, but there was still no response. She called home, but Sister Ping said he hadn’t returned.

Sitting in her office chair, Wen Nuan’s heart twisted tightly.

At the Leng Family’s old mansion, Leng Yan sat on the sofa, pinching the center of his brow hard, as if trying to rid his body of something.

This afternoon, Li Qiu hurriedly called him, saying something had happened at home. Leng Yan rushed back, finding all the servants were absent, and as soon as he entered, Li Qiu asked him to turn off his phone and not disturb anyone, saying there was something important to discuss.

Hearing Li Qiu’s account, Leng Yan felt as if he were struck by lightning, his blood seemed to freeze instantly.

Li Qiu said, Ji Wei had just called claiming she was pregnant with his child...

"Yan, you..." Li Qiu pointed at him, too angry to speak.

Leng Yan rubbed his face hard, looking regretful, "That day was her birthday, she was upset and asked me to drink with her. I didn’t expect to drink too much..."

He gritted his teeth, still somewhat incredulous, "I made sure she took the medicine, I even watched her take it."

When his phone powered on, numerous messages came almost simultaneously, all from Wen Nuan. Feeling the shame even deeper, he closed his eyes tightly before reopening them, then called Ji Wei, his voice hardened, "Didn’t you take the medicine?"

Fearing she’d trick him, he only left after seeing her swallow it. Yet the dates on the test matched the time they were together.

Ji Wei’s voice trembled with tears, "I felt too nauseous and vomited it later. I thought it was fine..."

"And before that? When I gave you the pill, didn’t you say you’d already taken one?" Leng Yan’s grip on the phone tightened hard.

"I took it... the doctor said that kind doesn’t work... Yan, listen to me, I’m not familiar with this type of medicine..."

Ji Wei hadn’t expected him to bring that up and panicked more as she explained, making things more chaotic, finally only able to cry, "It was an accident; I never anticipated this."

"Get rid of it!" Leng Yan gritted his teeth and growled, his veins jumping violently from exertion, almost turning his phone into shards by accident.

"No!" Ji Wei screamed.

Li Qiu, startled too, said, "Yan, you can’t do that."

"Tomorrow, I’m taking you to the hospital." With furrowed brows, Leng Yan coldly threw down a sentence, harshly smashed the phone on the floor, and painfully held his head.

He’s a bastard!

Tong Xi was right; what has he done to Nuannuan? He had hurt her repeatedly, but if he stopped now and started making amends, always treating her well, they could happily live their life.

Yet now, another bolt from the blue!

"Mom, I’m leaving now." After a long while, Leng Yan got up, taking the phone Li Qiu handed over, which was merely missing a corner, fortunately still usable.

"Yan." Li Qiu called out to him.

Without turning back, Leng Yan harshly hit his head, "Mom, don’t tell anyone about this."

He needed to handle this quietly, keeping it from Wen Nuan. He had already crossed her bottom line; if one more thing happened, Wen Nuan would never forgive him.

After work, Wen Nuan sat in the car, about to dial Leng Yan’s number again, but unexpectedly, an unfamiliar number called. She glanced at it and furrowed her brows tightly.

Ji Wei’s number.

She refused it, yet the phone persistently continued ringing, one call after another, making her irritated. She bit her lip and harshly answered, "Hello?"

That’s it for today, I’ll try to write more tomorrow.
