Chapter 317 - 311: Leng Family to Implement One Wife and One Concubine?
CHAPTER 317: CHAPTER 311: LENG FAMILY TO IMPLEMENT ONE WIFE AND ONE CONCUBINE?
Will Li Qiu demand them to divorce because of the child in Ji Wei’s belly? She doesn’t know, but she knows Li Qiu won’t easily let Leng Yan give up this child.
On the road, Wen Nuan pressed her lips tightly and didn’t say a word. She felt like she was isolated on a deserted island, her body was cold, and her heart was even colder.
When the word ’divorce’ flashed in her mind, her heart seemed to be pierced fiercely by an arrow that fell freely from a high altitude, the pain was unbearable. She watched helplessly as her heart was poked with a hole, blood was flowing out. Bright red, but strangely, she just stared coldly without a sign of fainting.
Divorce, huh! Covering the pain with a bitter smile. Wen Nuan’s heart was bitter, maybe this really is the only way out.
Even if Li Qiu doesn’t have such a thought, she would.
Once, she was persistent about this love, but now, reality forces her to retreat step by step. If you can’t provoke someone, can’t you just hide?
"Nuannuan." Leng Yan’s hand awkwardly reached over, wanting to hold hers. Wen Nuan dodged aside, his hand hit the air, her voice was icy: "Focus on driving."
Leng Yan’s hand retracted and was placed back on the steering wheel. His expression was gloomy, and after a while, he spoke: "No matter what Mom says, Nuannuan, I won’t want that child."
"Maybe it’s not up to you." Wen Nuan didn’t answer, she just said softly in her heart. Her head leaned on the glass, she looked out the window bewilderedly. The night was getting darker, tonight there were no stars, no moon. The pitch-black seemed to be tailored to highlight her current state of mind.
When entering the Leng Residence, there was only the maid, Aunt Fu, at home. She explained that the other people were given a holiday. As for Leng Siyan and Leng Ye, Wen Nuan knew, they went abroad for a business deal and didn’t know when they would return.
"Madam, Young Master, Young Madam, I’ll retire first." Aunt Fu poured coffee for the three and turned to leave.
"Nuannuan, Yan, sit down." Li Qiu sat on the sofa, her expression seemed completely exhausted, she pointed to the seats beside her, indicating the two to sit down.
"Okay." Wen Nuan nodded, wanting to sit a bit further from Leng Yan, but her wrist was grabbed tightly by him, forcing her to sit together with him.
"Mom, I won’t divorce." As soon as he sat down, Leng Yan couldn’t wait to speak.
On the road, he had thought a lot. Li Qiu already knew about the events three years back through Ji Wei, he feared Li Qiu might affectionately ask like before, she always fancied Ji Wei as her daughter-in-law. Now that she’s pregnant, he feared Li Qiu might make such a demand.
Wen Nuan was slightly surprised, glanced at Leng Yan, and returned her gaze without speaking, her hand stirring the coffee trembled slightly.
Turns out, Leng Yan had the same worries!
But, unlike Leng Yan, she wasn’t as resolute. In this marriage, her courage was almost exhausted, already devoid of the confidence to persist.
Li Qiu glanced at the two, picked up the coffee, and took a sip: "I didn’t say you should divorce, but the child can be considered..."
"I won’t want this child!" Just as Leng Yan sighed in relief, hearing Li Qiu’s change in tone, he immediately interrupted her: "Tomorrow, it must be taken care of!"
Wen Nuan’s fingers slightly trembled, some coffee spilled, Leng Yan’s voice was nearly a low roar, she could imagine how furious he was at this moment, but she didn’t want to look at him, afraid she would soften once again.
"Nonsense!" Li Qiu slammed the coffee cup down, glaring angrily at Leng Yan: "I won’t demand you to divorce, but the child must stay."
Heh!
Wen Nuan wanted to laugh.
Li Qiu’s meaning is to make her the first wife and Ji Wei the concubine? Leng Yan to have both a wife and a concubine, haha, this is great. Not only can they remain married, but also raise the child with Ji Wei.
But, is this possible?
However, Li Qiu’s following words surprised her. She said:
"Ji Wei said she only wants this child, she won’t ask for a title. She can raise the child herself, or hand it over to the Leng Family."
"No way!" Leng Yan was slightly startled but quickly refused, not yielding an inch.
He forcefully grasped Wen Nuan’s hand, looking at Li Qiu: "Mom, my wife is only Nuannuan, my child can only be born by her."
"But, what if..." Li Qiu gritted her teeth: "What if, she can’t give birth?"
Wen Nuan’s heart suddenly sank, looking at Li Qiu in disbelief.
Although Li Qiu said what if, she always felt there was some hidden truth.
"Mom!" Leng Yan’s voice was low, but it was a roar: "What nonsense are you talking about."
"Am I talking nonsense? The doctor said Nuannuan is weak, not easy to conceive." Li Qiu frowned tightly: "I wanted to help her adjust her body slowly, but what if it’s still impossible? The doctor said the odds aren’t very high."
The warmth in Wen Nuan’s fingertips gradually faded. She suddenly recalled that day in the hospital when she went to the car to get the medical records and saw Li Qiu’s abnormal expression. Thinking back now, it was because of this.
Leng Yan was slightly stunned but held her fingers tighter: "If there is such a what if, it’ll just be the two of us. Moreover..."
He squeezed her cold fingers: "A doctor’s words can’t be fully trusted, it’s merely a physical weakness. Suboptimal health is quite common nowadays, judging infertility just based on this is too laughable!"
He wasn’t really concerned about it, but since Li Qiu brought it up in front of Wen Nuan, he feared she might lose confidence in herself because of it.
Wen Nuan’s heart slightly relaxed, she looked at Leng Yan gratefully.
Especially that sentence: if there is such a what if, it’ll just be the two of us.
She knew his feelings for her, but she didn’t expect such resolution from him regarding this matter. Leng Yan had mentioned wanting a child more than once, she was afraid Leng Yan would despise her because of this.
"This..." Li Qiu hadn’t thought of this, but that doctor was very authoritative, how could she not believe it?
"In any case, I will not give up the child." Li Qiu hesitated, Ji Wei’s crying voice suddenly came in, causing Wen Nuan and Leng Yan’s backs to almost stiffen simultaneously.
Wen Nuan slowly turned her body, she didn’t expect that after Ji Wei looked for her, she would come here. She saw Ji Wei standing at the staircase with tears all over her face, step by step walking towards them, looking mournful, her steps heavy, tremblingly holding a piece of paper.
"Why are you here?" Leng Yan stood up abruptly, his hands by his sides clenched into fists, squeezing so hard that his knuckles turned pale.
He stared coldly at Ji Wei, his gaze frosty like millennial ice, "Ji Wei, you’d make a better director than an actress, this well-directed drama!"
Li Qiu also frowned, looking displeased at Ji Wei, "Didn’t I tell you not to come out?"
She didn’t expect that as soon as she hung up the phone with Leng Yan to notify them to come over, she arrived home, and then kept crying ever since.
"Aunt Li." Ji Wei, crying, walked towards her, handed the paper in her hand to Li Qiu, her eyes filled with tears, staring at Li Qiu, making her hair stand on end.
"What is that?" Wen Nuan had been watching coldly, seeing the paper, she couldn’t help but feel more puzzled. Today Ji Wei showed her two pages that were torn, this was obviously different. But what is it about?
