Bai Xue gently retracted her hand and awkwardly poured her a cup of hot tea. She sat back down cautiously. “How, how did you find this place?”
Shi Man looked at her steadily and didn’t waste her breath. She asked bluntly, “Did Bai Yao send you?”
Bai Xue trembled and her weak body swayed gently. Her eyes suddenly turned red. “Don’t ask anymore. I’m sorry. It’s all my fault!”
Shi Man sighed and said softly, “Then is the child in your womb my brother’s?”
Bai Xue’s pupils constricted. She suddenly raised her teary face and asked tentatively, “Did Shi Mu tell you? Did he ask you to come?”
“No,” Shi Man replied frankly. Coincidentally, the phone in her pocket rang. She took a look and hung up. She said, “No one knows that I’m here this time. I’ll leave you my contact number. You can contact me if you have any difficulties. I’ll help you, but if you continue to help the wicked, I won’t be able to stand on your side.”
She copied her phone number on the notebook beside her and handed it to Bai Xue. “If you’re smart, you know what to say later.”
Bai Xue nodded in a daze. Soon, the doorbell rang throughout the room. She suddenly shivered and stood up nervously. “Then I’ll open the door first.”
Shi Man’s gaze moved down slightly and landed on the notebook in her hand.
She immediately understood and folded the paper before putting it in her pocket. Then, she rushed over to open the door.
In the corridor, Shi Mu looked at her impatiently and said coldly, “Why are you only opening it now? Are you contacting Bai Yao again to scheme against me?”
Bai Xue’s weak body trembled from the cold wind outside.
Shi Mu snorted and stepped into the house. He closed the door and glanced at the living room. Suddenly, he frowned. “Didn’t you say that you can’t drink strong tea? If you don’t want this child, you can abort it as soon as possible.”
Bai Xue’s body trembled again. She subconsciously looked at the living room, but the sofa was already empty. Only then did she timidly lower her head and say, “I’m sorry. I know my mistake.”
Shi Mu’s expression turned even worse. He walked to the coffee table and put down the vegetables and meat in his hand. He said coldly, “These are your food for this week. If you run out, think of a way yourself.”
“Okay.” Bai Xue nodded obediently.
Shi Mu glared at her in frustration. “Did Bai Yao tell you what she wanted to do?”
Bai Xue rubbed her hands nervously and said, “This has nothing to do with her. I wanted to have your child myself. When are you going to give me a status? Otherwise, I’ll go to your company to cause trouble when my belly is bigger.”
Shi Mu scratched his head in disgust and kicked the coffee table. The celadon teacup on the table shook violently, and most of the tea inside spilled out. “That again. Do you think I don’t know what you’re planning? Let me tell you, it’s impossible for me to marry you, and I won’t acknowledge the child in your womb! If the two of you know how to stop while you’re ahead, you’d better tell me your goal now. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”
Bai Xue was clearly very afraid of Shi Mu. She cried out in shock when he suddenly flared up. In the next second, her forehead was covered in a thin layer of sweat. She couldn’t help but bend down to cover her lower abdomen, letting out a painful moan.
Shi Mu only lowered his eyes to look at her calmly before looking away. “I won’t come again during this period of time. Do as you see fit.”
With that, he walked around her and left the house coldly. It was not until the door was closed with a bang that Shi Man walked out of the bedroom. She bent down and helped her sit on the sofa. “Do you have medicine?”
Bai Xue pointed at the drawer under the coffee table.
Shi Man found many medicines prescribed by the hospital that were good for preserving the baby. She found a box of edible medicine and poured another glass of hot water for her.
After Bai Xue took the medicine, her pale face regained its color.
She forced herself to sit up, looking extremely weak. “Thank you.”
Shi Man looked at her coldly. Thinking of what she had overheard in the bedroom just now, her lips curled into a mocking smile. “Do you really think that my brother will compromise and listen to Bai Yao’s request to be a marionette?”
Bai Xue clenched her fists. The sofa cushion under her fingers was deformed. “This is his child.”
Shi Man narrowed her eyes. Her gentle tone suddenly turned cold. “Is this what you really think?”
Bai Xue pursed her lips and a trace of hesitation flashed across her eyes. However, because she thought of something, she suddenly said firmly, “Yes, I must marry into the Shi family. The child in my womb is the legitimate child of the Shi family. I must be the young madam of the Shi family.”
Shi Man smiled disdainfully and put her hand in her pocket. She reminded her one last time, “You can only give birth when the child grows to term. You’re still so young. Why should you hand your body over to others? I’ll say the same thing. If you have thought it through, you can tell me your difficulties and I’ll help you. However, if you continue to be stubborn, you’ll be the only one suffering in the end.”
“Bai Yao won’t lose anything..”
