Chapter 5 Disappointed by Nan Yi

  • "You..." Yang Xue saw that I was so stubborn, so she didn't continue to persuade me. She asked me to think it over for one night and decide if it was worth it.
  • I touched my stomach, thinking about the little life growing inside me. I felt very joyful.
  • Even if Huo Chengjin didn't love me, it didn't matter. We still had a child that belonged to the two of us.
  • ...
  • The next day, I told Yang Xue about my decision. I had already written my resignation letter. Yang Xue was a little angry and left me alone to go to work. I knew I had let Yang Xue down, but I didn't say anything. After tidying up, I went to the company to submit my resignation letter.
  • As soon as I arrived at the company entrance, a black luxury car stopped in front of the office building. When the driver saw me approaching, he got out of the car and walked up to me, saying, "Miss Mu, Mr. Huo wants to see you."
  • My heart tightened, and my hand instinctively went to my stomach.
  • Huo Chengjin... sent someone to find me? Did he know about the child?
  • "Sorry, I still have to go to work." I pretended to be calm, straightening my clothes and apologizing to the driver.
  • "Mr. Huo has already informed your superiors. Your salary won't be deducted. Please get in the car."
  • The driver had a stern face and made a gesture of invitation.
  • Since he insisted on taking me away, I could only grit my teeth and get in the car.
  • The car left the company and headed towards the suburban villa area. This place was unfamiliar to me, but I knew that it was an upscale villa area.
  • The car stopped in front of a small and exquisite villa. The driver asked me to get out of the car and then led me to meet Huo Chengjin.
  • Huo Chengjin was sitting in a luxurious and elegant living room, holding a glass of red wine and tasting it. He gave me a cold feeling... noble and emitting an aura that kept people at a distance, making me involuntarily feel timid.
  • Seeing that, Huo Chengjin had regained his identity, I felt an even greater distance between us. It made me realize how big the gap was between me and Huo Chengjin.
  • "You can go downstairs first." Huo Chengjin put down his wine glass and waved to the driver.
  • The driver glanced at me and left the living room.
  • In the quiet and cold living room, there were only Huo Chengjin and me.
  • Huo Chengjin pursed his lips and said indifferently, "The hospital called me and said you're pregnant."
  • My heart skipped a beat. I didn't expect Huo Chengjin's influence to be so great that even the hospital couldn't escape his attention.
  • "No, they're just making things up. I... it's just a stomachache..." I denied it, but under Huo Chengjin's deep and cold gaze, my lie fell apart.
  • I held my stomach tightly and pleaded, "Can I keep this child? I've decided to resign and leave the capital to go back to my hometown. I... won't bother you, and I won't disturb your life with Miss You."
  • I just wanted this child.
  • Huo Chengjin said coldly, ignoring my plea. He stood up and walked towards me, extending his finger to hold my chin, pulling my whole face closer to him.
  • Looking at Huo Chengjin so close, his presence, familiar enough to make me want to cry, but also unfamiliar enough to make me tremble.
  • I missed Huo Chengjin like crazy, but now I didn't dare to get close to him.
  • "I won't use the child to blackmail you for anything. I just have one wish..."
  • "I thought you were a smart person."
  • Huo Chengjin's slightly cool fingertips gently brushed my cheek, he hooked his lips, his expression obscure and unclear.
  • I'm not smart. I also thought I could remain indifferent and let go when necessary.
  • But, after experiencing all this, beneath the facade of calmness, it was all just a facade.
  • "Butler, prepare the car, we're going to the hospital."
  • Seeing that I didn't speak, Huo Chengjin let go of me, adjusted his clothes, and coldly ordered the butler at the door.
  • When I heard the word "hospital," my pupils contracted, and my body involuntarily moved backward.
  • "Huo Chengjin, you can't do this."
  • He couldn't be so cruel to me.
  • "Mu Nanyi, don't test my patience. You don't have the qualifications to give birth to my child, and besides, the Huo family's bloodline is noble. Do you think you're qualified to bear it?"
  • His words cruelly tore apart my last shred of dignity. He was telling me that he and I were from two different worlds.
  • I was a commoner, while he was a privileged young master from a wealthy family. I didn't deserve the Huo family, not even the child.
  • "I won't let you abort my child."
  • With tears in my eyes, I endured the pain in my heart and turned to run outside. But before I could take a few steps, I was stopped by the bodyguards outside.
  • Looking at the bodyguards blocking my way, I became frantic, roaring and screaming like a trapped animal, "Huo Chengjin, for the sake of our one-year marriage, spare this child. I promise I won't tell the child that you're his father, and I promise not to use this child..."
  • "Take her away." Huo Chengjin interrupted me, and someone grabbed me and put me in the car.
  • I was completely powerless to resist. No matter how much I screamed and screamed, it didn't make Huo Chengjin spare me.
  • After arriving at the hospital, I was practically dragged inside.
  • The hospital staff were cleared out, and no one knew about the relationship between Huo Chengjin and me.
  • Once again, I was shocked by the power of the Huo family.
