“Sister-in-law!” Gao Yang was taken aback, for Xia Ning moved before he could react. He stepped forward, but instead of trying to stop Xia Ning, he looked at Qiao Yu.
Qiao Yu stood where he was and kept his gaze on Xia Ning. This was the first time she had been this agitated and said so many words after the two of them got back together.
It wasn’t that she had grown quiet, but she was no longer easily excited by other things. There were exceptions, such as the business with the Shen family and what was happening to Wen Yue now. Scratch that. She was concerned because Wen Yue was having a baby.
“Sis…” Mu Zichen was equally surprised by this intimidating woman, who was looking at him coldly. “Let’s talk this out!”
He turned to Qiao Yu with a pleading look in his eyes, hoping that the latter would stop his woman. However, Qiao Yu had no intention to intervene.
“I have nothing to say to you. Wen Yue is the one you should talk to, and the baby inside her.” Xia Ning let go of Mu Zichen’s collar, then snorted. “Mr. Mu, you should know one thing: the baby is more than an embryo. It can sense things and it’s a life. The moment it takes form in its mother’s womb, it starts to experience everything that’s happening outside, both the good and the bad! It’ll only experience more as the pregnancy advances! So please think this through. If you really don’t like the baby, make your decision soon, or you’ll only hurt yourself as well as other people. It won’t be fair for the baby if it’s born as an unwanted child. Moreover, be more considerate of your woman in the future. No woman deserves to be mistreated like this.”
Mu Zichen straightened his clothes. For a moment there, he thought Xia Ning was going to strangle him, which scared him out of his wits. Qiao Yu’s woman was as fierce as he was.
“It’s late. You should get going.” Qiao Yu made the verdict.
Gao Yang nodded. “Brother, Sister-in-law, we’ll be on our way.”
Mu Zichen still wanted to say something but decided not to when he saw the look on Xia Ning’s face. Offend her and Alex would be the one he had to answer to.
“Alex, Sister-in-law, we’re off,” said Mu Zichen.
Xia Ning had her back to them and didn’t say a word.
Qiao Yu nodded at them. Mu Zichen and Gao Yang exchanged a look, then left.
Once outside, Mu Zichen and Gao Yang realized that the snow had stopped. The cold wind made them shudder.
Mu Zichen sighed with relief after they got into their car. “What a fierce lady. I bet Alex is the only man that can handle her!”
Gao Yang glanced at Mu Zichen. “I think Xia Ning has a point. You should be more serious about this thing. Children are very important to women and abortion can do a lot of damage to their health. It’s not like you don’t like Wen Yue. Why can’t you accept the fact that you two are having a baby?”
“It’s easy for you to say!” Mu Zichen rolled his eyes at Gao Yang. “I never want to get married, nor become a father. How am I supposed to accept this?”
“Xia Ning left something unsaid.” Gao Yang looked at Mu Zichen.
“What is that?”
“You’re a scumbag!”
Mu Zichen was displeased. “Gao Yang, what’s that supposed to mean? Tell me…”
“You heard me.”
Mu Zichen was speechless.
