Chapter 98: Did She Go for an Abortion?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Tan Xiao sat back in the chair with a weary breath, looking at Chi Ming beside her. “Mr. Chi, won’t you sit for a while?”

“No need,” Chi Ming withdrew his gaze from Shen Qingyue, “I’ll go out and get some food. When she comes back, just let her know.”

Tan Xiao nodded.

When Shen Qingyue returned and did not see Chi Ming, she was about to go and ask about him.

Tan Xiao sensed her thoughts and said, “Your boyfriend went out to buy some food.”

Hearing this, Shen Qingyue paused for a moment, then explained, “He’s not my boyfriend.”

“Is that so?” Tan Xiao found it a bit strange. That man’s eyes were always following Shen Qingyue. He seemed aloof on the outside, but whenever he looked at her, there was a lingering tenderness. Could she have misunderstood? Nevertheless, she did not pry further, considering she was not acquainted with Shen Qingyue.

Soon, Tan Xiao was ready for the surgery.

For the last time, Shen Qingyue asked, “Are you sure? Once you enter this room, there’s no turning back.”

Tan Xiao nodded silently. “This child shouldn’t have come into this world. It’s my fault, but getting rid of him is the best for both of us.”

Tan Xiao spoke resolutely, and the pain and complex emotions in her eyes were beyond Shen Qingyue’s comprehension. Still, she respected Tan Xiao’s decision Whether this child should live or not was for Tan Xiao alone to decide

“Then go ahead. I’ll wait for you outside.”

Before going into surgery, Tan Xiao said, “Miss Shen, if there’s a chance in the future, I will repay you. But please, help me keep today’s secret.”

Shen Qingyue nodded. She had no inclination to spread other people’s private matters around.

Shortly after Tan Xiao went in, Chi Ming returned with two meals. They had a simple meal to ease their hunger.

Tan Xiao had not been pregnant for long, so the surgery was quick. After observing her for about half an hour post-surgery with no abnormal symptoms, the doctor allowed Tan Xiao to leave.

Tan Xiao removed her mask, her face pale.

Shen Qingyue supported her as they left. Chi Ming was about to follow, but the doctor stopped him. “Are you the child’s father?”

Chi Ming was about to say no, but the doctor continued, “Your girlfriend’s surgery went smoothly, but abortions still have a significant impact on the body. Frequent procedures can lead to infertility. You young people need to take responsibility for life. If you’re not ready for a child, make sure to use contraception.”

Worried about Shen Qingyue, Chi Ming followed her and did not bother to explain. He hurriedly left.

After he left, a figure emerged from the corner. It was Ling Bing’er, who had seen Chi Ming before. She still remembered the incident where he had thrown her into the artificial lake. She walked away, and when she returned, Madam Ling asked, “How did it go? What did the doctor say? Your delayed menstruation is affecting your health.”

“It’s just hormonal imbalance. They gave me some medication to try,” Ling Bing’er replied, then asked, “By the way, Mom, don’t you have a friend at the hospital? Can you ask them to help me check something?”

Madam Ling did not think much of it and arranged it promptly.

Soon, Ling Bing’er obtained Shen Qingyue’s medical records, which showed that she was two months pregnant! That means Shen Qingyue had already been having an affair with that man before her divorce. Ling Bing’er immediately called Qin Zhen.

On the other hand, Shen Qingyue escorted Tan Xiao downstairs. “Do you want me to send you home?”

“No, I’ll take a taxi. You’ve already helped me a lot today.” Tan Xiao forced a smile.

Shen Qingyue did not insist and watched her leave.

Chi Ming drove her home, and Shen Qingyue did not refuse. As she gazed at the seemingly endless road ahead, she suddenly asked, “The evidence of my uncle buying medicine at the pharmacy, you provided it, right?”

Chi Ming did not hide it. “Yes.”

“And the incident with the white chrysanthemum, was that you too?”

Chi Ming answered, “Yes.”

Although she had already guessed the answers, hearing them firsthand still stirred complex emotions within Shen Qingyue. He had done so much for her but never sought recognition. Protecting her from harm was already enough to satisfy him.

Shen Qingyue turned to look out the window and murmured, “Chi Ming, don’t be so good to me. I’m afraid…”

She feared she could not reciprocate his feelings.

Chi Ming understood what she did not say, but he did not force her to give an answer. He gave her time and freedom to decide. Calm, assured, and yet determined to win her over..
