Chapter 774: Chapter 774: I will listen to you from now on Chapter 774: Chapter 774: I will listen to you from now on She clutched his clothes tightly, vulnerability gleamed in her eyes.
“Diwu Zexuan said that your body is not ready to have a baby yet. If this child stays, both mother and child will be in danger,” Dan Hanjie knitted his brows tightly.
“I will take a break from school, I won’t go to GW anymore, and, I will heed your advice, rest well, take good care of myself. You can ask Rui Hui to accompany me, she is a doctor, there won’t be any problems with her by my side…”
Qin Youxuan’s words were jumbled and disjointed, her tear-reddened eyes looked as if they were about to bleed as she protectively shielded her belly with her hands.
“We can have children in the future, I promise,” Dan Hanjie said, cradling her face with his hands, his forehead against hers.
This was her first child and his as well, and he too was reluctant to let it go.
But he couldn’t accept her risking her life for an unborn child.
“No matter what I say, you’re not going to let me keep the baby, are you?” Qin Youxuan’s body slowly slumped, as she fell, exhausted, onto the sofa.
“We can have more children in the future,” Dan Hanjie repeated, his gaze slightly flickering.
“No matter how many children we have, it won’t be this one,” Qin Youxuan said, her hand absent-mindedly touching her stomach, as tears slipped down her cheeks. She rose from the sofa and gazed up at him, “What if I insist on keeping this baby?”
“You really want to force me to choose, don’t you? You should know, if I don’t consent, you won’t be able to keep this child,” Dan Hanjie’s words were severe and left no room for discussion.
At his words, Qin Youxuan’s body shuddered.
She stared at him in disbelief, “Don’t you feel at all reluctant, Dan Hanjie? This child is yours too!”
Unconsciously, Qin Youxuan moved away from him, wanting to keep some distance.
“If I knew that he would become a threat to your life, I wouldn’t have allowed him to exist,” said Dan Hanjie, gripping her wrist tightly.
“I’ve told you, when your health recovers, we can try for another child,” he reiterated.
“Stop lying to me. If it was really that simple, then we wouldn’t have been together for this long without me getting pregnant…” Qin Youxuan retorted, wrenching her hand away from his, her voice hoarse.
She had a premonition that this child might be her only chance in this lifetime.
She couldn’t dare gamble on the possibility of another chance after letting this one go.
“I told you not to make me choose between you and the child,” Dan Hanjie’s voice carried a hint of impatience.
He could very well have asked Diwu Zexuan to terminate her pregnancy without her knowledge.
But he didn’t because he anticipated her reaction on learning about her pregnancy.
“Are you not forcing me to choose between you and the child…” Qin Youxuan stared at him through her tears, “Why can’t we try? Maybe, it won’t be as bad as we imagine.”
“I can’t afford to lose.”
Qin Youxuan’s body stiffened, she just stood there in shock.
The next moment, he pulled her tightly into his embrace, “Qin Youxuan, I know you don’t believe me, but I’ll only say this once, I would rather remain childless all my life than risk your safety for a child.”
Qin Youxuan was mentally blank, her body limp in his arms.
His words warmed her heart, under any other circumstance, she might have agreed.
But why was it that, the one he asked her to give up, was the child she had longed for.
