Chapter 329: Irrelevant to Love, Irrelevant to Romance_1
Su Hongxing lowered her eyes, “Why are you doing this to yourself?”
“Qingyin just told me, if you truly love someone, you wouldn’t force them to do what they don’t want to do, nor would you hurt them. To be honest, I don’t know why I’m so fixated on you. Maybe you’re the first woman I’ve truly cared for. Ultimately, I don’t even know if my possessive desire for you is love. Anyway,” Beichuan paused, taking Su Hongxing’s hand, “Su Su, marry me. I will do my best to make you happy.”
“Do I have the right to say ‘no’?” Su Hongxing responded softly.
Apparently, she didn’t. Like Ye Qilan, Beichuan would trap her in a similar way, forcing her to comply, never bothering to ask for her opinion.
“No!” Beichuan responded with a wicked smile, “Anyway, I need to outdo Ye Si once. Marrying you would be my revenge for him stealing my wife in a previous life.”
Su Hongxing ignored Beichuan.
His possessiveness over her wasn’t necessarily love or affection.
Their relationship had nothing to do with love, nor with romance.
She had thought that once Beichuan found out she was pregnant with Ye Qilan’s child, he would give up on marrying her. But it seems she had miscalculated his reaction.
After Beichuan left, Su Hongxing checked online and found the news about Beichuan’s upcoming marriage had hit the entertainment headlines.
Given Beichuan’s notorious reputation, his name usually surfaced in scandalous rumours. Today’s announcement of him settling down was, therefore, a hot topic in entertainment news.
People were speculating about the woman who had managed to tie Beichuan down, and some alleged insiders had leaked photos of Su Hongxing.
The picture was taken when Su Hongxing was at her heaviest, looking very ordinary, even less attractive than an average passerby.
As soon as Su Hongxing’s old photo was revealed, it caused a citywide uproar.
People claimed that Beichuan must have been bewitched to choose such an unattractive woman.
Su Hongxing, however, was certain that the person who released her photo was Zhou Luhe.
“I think you look good even with a bit of weight. Those people just have bad taste,” Liu Qingyin said, closing the webpage, worried Su Hongxing would be upset.
Su Hongxing noticed her hesitations, asking, “What do you want to say?”
Do you really want to have his child, given what Ye Qilan has done to you?” Liu Qingyin said, touching Su Hongxing’s abdomen.
“When I first found out I was pregnant, my initial thought was to get an abortion. But as time went on, there were more things to consider, and I found out that I didn’t want to. If I’m this reluctant, I might as well keep it.”
No need to keep struggling over it. After all, it’s a tiny life, connected to her by blood.
“Then give birth to it. I’ll help raise the child. If we get a chance to leave, you can go out and earn money to support the family, and I’ll stay home to take care of the child.”
Liu Qingyin moved closer to Su Hongxing and asked curiously, “So do you like Beichuan?”
Su Hongxing shook her head, “Where in our relationship does liking or not liking come into play? I don’t like him. He probably doesn’t like me either. At most, I’m just the prey he has his eyes on.”
“What about… Ye Qilan?” Liu Qingyin asked again.
Su Hongxing seemed a bit dazed at the mention of Ye Qilan’s name.
Her feelings for Ye Qilan were complicated. She remembered her deep love for him from their past two lives, but she also knew that those were things of the past.
Separated by life and death, separated by two different worlds, she no longer had the capacity to love. How could she possibly love Ye Qilan again?
