Chapter 764: Chapter 701: A Son of the Zhan Family Grown Up (Part 2)

Xia Luo pushed him away, stood up, and looked at him retreating with sadness.

Zhan Yunxiao: "I also hope for a miracle to happen, but it hasn’t. I also want to keep the child, but for your sake, I can’t."

"How can you be sure a miracle won’t happen? Give me some more time, I will control myself," Xia Luo pleaded.

Zhan Yunxiao looked at her tear-streaked face, painfully overwhelmed.

"Alright, I’ll give you one more week. If there’s still no improvement, we’ll give up on the child."

Xia Luo nodded with reddened eyes.

Zhan Yunxiao took Xia Luo back home, and both Xunyou and Feng Jiuzun breathed a sigh of relief.

They called Ye Ningwan.

Ye Ningwan knew the troublesome issue was once again thrown back into her son’s hands.

However, this was ultimately a matter between husband and wife, outsiders couldn’t intervene.

Throughout this week, Zhan Yunxiao didn’t go to work, staying by Xia Luo’s side without leaving.

Strictly controlling and supervising her diet.

Xia Luo knew if her diet deteriorated again this week, Zhan Yunxiao would definitely not let her keep the child.

So, she endured stoically, not daring to eat much.

But one or two days were fine; desire is like a black dot on white paper, the more it’s suppressed, the more it enlarges.

On the sixth night, she tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

Finally, unable to hold back, she cried out in the night.

Zhan Yunxiao heard her soft sobbing and immediately turned over and sat up.

"Luoluo, what’s wrong?"

"It’s nothing, I’m fine."

Xia Luo cried, shaking her head.

She didn’t dare let Zhan Yunxiao know how hungry and uncomfortable she was.

After he knew, he would surely make her give up the child.

But her silence didn’t mean he wouldn’t find out.

"Are you hungry?"

"No, really not."

Xia Luo was deeply aggrieved, curling up in Zhan Yunxiao’s arms.

Zhan Yunxiao went downstairs to get some food.

Xia Luo tried hard to resist, but seeing the food, her eyes lit up uncontrollably, unable to control her desire.

She grabbed it and wolfed it down.

Seeing Xia Luo eat like she hadn’t eaten for days, Zhan Yunxiao’s heart ached terribly.

"Luoluo, let’s give up the child! I don’t want to see you suffer like this anymore."

Finally, Zhan Yunxiao brought up the topic again.

Xia Luo stopped eating, the food stuck in her throat.

After managing to swallow it down, she shook her head hard: "No, I don’t want to give up the child, Xiao, this is our child, we cannot give him up."

"But you’re sick because of him, if you’re not well, what’s the use of having this child?" said Zhan Yunxiao.

Xia Luo bit her lip, choked up: "But we still need him, to save Qingqing, have you forgotten about this?"

Zhan Yunxiao felt like he’d been struck by lightning, staring blankly at Xia Luo.

Xia Luo’s eyes dimmed: "You really forgot about this."

"But you haven’t forgotten," Zhan Yunxiao said: "You’ve always remembered Qingqing, always remembered you need to save her. Actually, the reason you don’t want to give up the child isn’t because he’s our child, it’s more because he can save Qingqing, it’s for Fang Qingyang, right!"

"No, I’m not doing it entirely for him."

Xia Luo hurriedly explained.

But at the beginning, Zhan Yunxiao didn’t believe it.

"Luoluo, I love you, for you I can give up this child. Yet, you’re still thinking of Fang Qingyang, ready to risk your life for him. What exactly am I in your heart?"

"You’re forcing me," Xia Luo sobbed.

"Am I forcing you, or are you forcing me?"

Zhan Yunxiao got out of bed, took his clothes, and left.

Xia Luo covered her face, crying silently.

Soon, the maid came to accompany her.

Seeing her cry so heartbreakingly, not knowing how to comfort her.

When she saw Xia Luo’s deep sorrow, she could only call Ye Ningwan.

Ye Ningwan and Zhan Hanjue rushed over overnight.

"Luoluo, don’t be sad, come with us to stay for a while," Ye Ningwan comforted her.

Zhan Hanjue, on the other hand, called Zhan Yunxiao and scolded him.

What unresolved conflict could make him leave his pregnant wife?

"Dad, don’t involve yourself in this. Take good care of her."

Zhan Yunxiao said and hung up the phone.

Xia Luo choked up and closed her eyes again, she had still hurt Zhan Yunxiao deeply.

But she had no choice.

She didn’t want to give up this child.

Since childhood, she’s been lonely, craving a close blood relative, someone truly her own.

But Zhan Yunxiao wouldn’t see it that way, he would only think she didn’t want to give up because of Fang Qingyang.

"Luoluo, don’t be too sad, Xiao only wants what’s best for you."

Ye Ningwan took Xia Luo back home, settled her in, and comforted her.

Xia Luo nodded: "I know he’s doing it for me, but... Mom, is there really no other way? I really don’t want to give up this child."

Saying this, Xia Luo’s eyes reddened again, tears "plop plop" falling down.

Ye Ningwan didn’t know how to comfort her.

She could only silently accompany her, staying in her room to rest with her tonight.

Zhan Hanjue blamed his son severely in his heart.

He quarreled with his wife, causing him to sleep separately from his wife—such an unfilial son.

The next day, Jin Yingzi came to see Ye Ningwan.

Instead, she saw Zhan Hanjue sitting in the living room with two panda eyes.

Jin Yingzi had always been somewhat afraid of Zhan Hanjue, even after so many years. But seeing Zhan Hanjue, she was as respectful and cautious as ever.

"Mr. Zhan."

"Wanwan is upstairs," said Zhan Yunxiao.

Jin Yingzi nodded, hastily running upstairs.

As if afraid, the slower she ran, the more likely it was Zhan Hanjue would call out to her.

Ye Ningwan, on the other hand, had a good night’s sleep.

Her sleep quality was always good.

As soon as she walked out, she saw Jin Yingzi running up.

"Why are you running?"

Ye Ningwan asked, puzzled.

Jin Yingzi: "Why didn’t you tell me Mr. Zhan was home? He’s sitting downstairs, and seeing him scared me to death."

Ye Ningwan: "..."
