Chapter 315: Chapter 315: Don’t Want This Child_1
Jian Yufei put down her suitcase and said gently, “I want to take a break for a few days. If I stay here all day, I’ll go insane.”
“No one is keeping you locked up; you’re free to come and go as you please,” replied another voice.
“Well, if nobody is imprisoning me, then I can go out and clear my head, right?” Jian Yufei said dismissively.
“You’re pregnant now, don’t run around carelessly. If you don’t want to stay here, I can arrange a new place for you right away.”
Jian Yufei lifted her small face and said firmly, “No, I have to get out. I feel suffocated; if I don’t leave A City for a few days, I will feel even worse.”
Ruan Tianling pressed his lips together tightly.
Thinking about her sleep-talking and her dejected mood these past few days, he thought maybe she really needed to go out. Otherwise, if she became depressed, what would he do?
It’s common knowledge that pregnant women are susceptible to various conditions, with their moods and emotions often unstable.
It was likely even more severe for Jian Yufei.
But letting her go out without supervision, he couldn’t shake his worries. She was just over a month pregnant; what if something happened to the child?
Without realizing it, Ruan Tianling’s concern for their child had surpassed his expectations.
After some thought, he said, “If you want to go out, I’ll have someone follow you…”
Nearly whispering, Jian Yufei cut him off with a sarcastic smile.
“Ruan Tianling, what do you take me for? A criminal? I don’t need or want your guards trailing me. If you insist, you can just keep me locked up. I don’t even want this child anymore! If by having this child, I’ll be treated like a prisoner every day, then what’s the point even?!”
“You!” Ruan Tianling was taken aback by her mention of not wanting the child. His heart gave a painful jolt, and he was filled with frustration, “What did you just say?! I dare you to say that again!”
Jian Yufei looked at him coldly, her eyes reflecting a trace of desperate sadness, “If you insist on treating me like a criminal, then I don’t want this child! You only care about the child, don’t you? Without him I could finally get rid of you!”
“Jian Yufei!” Ruan Tianling grabbed her arm, his face livid, and his eyes spewed rage.
He glared at her and hissed through gritted teeth, “Don’t forget what I told you: If you dare to hurt our child, I will make sure anyone you care about pays the price for it!”
Jian Yufei pushed him away in an emotional frenzy, yelling out loud, “He’s my child, too! You think I don’t care about him!? Without you, I could take care of him much better. But right now, being imprisoned by you every day, I’m going mad! If I go mad, what good would it do by having the child?!”
Ruan Tianling was taken aback while Jian Yufei wiped the tears from her eyes and turned away dejectedly.
“I’m leaving tomorrow. If you dare to stop me, there’s no need to keep this child. You want a child? Yan Yue can give you one. My child is just a bastard anyway!”
After speaking, she picked herself up and started walking towards the upstairs.
Ruan Tianling watched her frail silhouette until it disappeared, his mood agitated.
Especially after she referred to their future child as a bastard, it disturbed him profoundly.
He frowned in annoyance and called out to her, “Tomorrow I’ll go with you. I’ll accompany you out.”
Jian Yufei paused, turning back quickly to refuse him, “No, I can go alone, I don’t need your company.”
