Xu Lang turned his head to the side, not wanting to lose a man’s dignity in front of his woman, "Lin Man, it’s none of your business. Leave now!"
"How can it not be my business?" Lin Man’s tears had already started falling, "We, we are soon to..."
Her menstrual cycle was always very regular, but recently it had not come on time, even delayed by a week, so she went to the hospital this morning, and the results did not surprise her.
She was pregnant.
Song Song looked on with a bit of compassion. After all, Lin Man had always been her good colleague and friend, "Lin Man, don’t be too upset, listen to me, here’s how it is..."
"Song Song." Lin Man suddenly turned around, wiping away her tears, her expression was somewhat solemn, "Can we find a place to talk alone?"
Song Song wasn’t quite sure what she meant, but judging from her expression, it seemed she had already guessed what had happened.
The hospital corridor was very quiet; Lin Man leaned against the window, gazing downstairs, "Song Song, do you consider me a friend?"
"Of course."
"Since you consider me a friend, then I beg you for one thing."
Saying this, Lin Man turned around, her eyes slightly red, "Please help me talk to Xiao Beibei’s father, ask him to let Xu Lang off this time."
She only found out later that Xu Lang’s workplace was Xiao Group, which was Xiao Beibei’s father’s company.
A while ago, he mentioned to her that he accidentally made a mistake at work, causing the Xiao Family a significant loss, and if held accountable, he might end up in jail.
"Lin Man, I..."
"Song Song, don’t reject me. I know you and Xiao Beibei’s father have an unusual relationship, but rest assured, I haven’t mentioned this to anyone else at school..."
Looking at Lin Man’s pleading expression, Song Song was also helpless, "Lin Man, do you know Mr. Xu kidnapped me not long ago, trying to use it as leverage... No matter what, he definitely did wrong, I truly don’t know much about other things."
"Besides, I think he really isn’t a good man, not worth entrusting your life to, you still need to consider carefully."
Lin Man suddenly scoffed, "Song Song, it’s too late for you to say these things to me now. Now, I can only stay by his side. Even if he isn’t great, he’s still the father of my child, what else can I do?"
"What?" Song Song was shocked, her gaze moved from Lin Man’s face to her abdomen, "You’re... you’re pregnant?"
Lin Man touched her stomach and nodded, "Yeah, just confirmed today. So, I’m already tied to him and this child."
"Actually, I knew for a long time that he and Su Mengni still have lingering feelings, maybe he’s just with me because I’m gentler than Su Mengni and know how to be considerate, but I just fell into it. Maybe you’d think I’m silly, but when feelings come, they can’t be stopped..."
"Song Song, sometimes I truly envy you, being silly keeps many troubles away."
Song Song twitched her mouth, "Are you praising me or belittling me?"
Then, the two gazed at each other for several seconds, and couldn’t help but laugh...
"Song Song, I beg you, I’m asking for this one time. Can you bear my child being born without a father?"
These words pierced Song Song’s heart, no one understood better than her what it felt like to grow up without a father.
"Alright, I’ll give it a try... but it might not work."
At that moment, the image of that ice-cold expression on Xiao Jinghuai’s face appeared in Song Song’s mind, and the more she thought about it, the more hesitant she became.
How to ask him, how?
