Chapter 399: Illegitimate Child
As Lin Fei’er spoke, tears appeared in her big, dark eyes.
“Wan, do you know how painful it was on the day of my car accident and when the doctor said that I could not be pregnant in the future? Now, the heaven has given me another chance.”
Su Wan let go of her hand that was clutching Lin Fei’er’s shoulder. She pursed her lips and hesitated for a long time, but she did not know how to answer.
Lin Fei’er closed her eyes forcefully. Soon, tears flowed down Lin Fei’er’s pale cheeks.
The sparkling tears not only shocked Su Wan, but also Jiang Haoxuan.
“Wan, can you understand how I’m feeling right now? I want to keep my child. I want to be a mother.”
When Su Wan heard this, a strong sense of exhaustion and helplessness welled up in her heart.
Of course, she knew how much Lin Fei’er loved her child, but when that little life threatened Lin Fei’er’s life…
Su Wan really could not accept that one day, she might lose her good friend.
Lin Fei’er stared at Su Wan. Then, she slowly lowered her head and reached out to touch her belly.
How unbelievable was it that there was a life sprouting under this flat belly?
That child was connected to her by blood.
Lin Fei’er’s eyes were filled with love and a motherly radiance.
“Don’t worry, Wan. Technology is very advanced now. The child and I will definitely be fine.”
When Su Wan saw how determined Lin Fei’er was to keep the child, Su Wan’s heart was filled with complicated emotions.
“Fei’er, I too, hope that the both of you will be safe. Have you thought about how you will deal with this child before and after it is born?”
The people in Jiuzhou had always been conservative, and it was more unfair to women. If Lin Fei’er were to bring up a child of unknown origin in the future, Su Wan was really afraid that she would not be able to withstand those rumors.
“Wan, I’ve already thought it through. After this child is born, I’ll leave S City. I’m not going to get married again in the future. I’ll shower the child with all my love and bring him up well.”
Lin Fei’er had thought it through. The child would take her surname in the future. It didn’t matter if he didn’t have a father.
After leaving S City, with a change of environment, and when the child was a little more sensible, she would tell the child that his father had passed away, and she wouldn’t have any other thoughts.
Jiang Haoxuan, who had been standing silently behind Su Wan and Lin Fei’er, finally couldn’t stand it anymore.
He sighed with a bitter smile and suddenly spoke.
Ever since he found out that Lin Fei’er was pregnant with his child, Jiang Haoxuan found it difficult to call Lin Fei’er ‘Miss Lin’. He would rather call Lin Fei’er by her name.
“Sis-in-law, Lin… Lin Fei’er… the two of you don’t seem to care about my thoughts at all.”
He was the father of this child after all. Why did he feel that Lin Fei’er and Su Wan did not care about his opinion at all when they talked about whether the child would stay or go?
Lin Fei’er glanced at Jiang Haoxuan indifferently. Her voice was neither high nor low, like the icicles of winter, with a coldness that kept people away.
“Mr. Jiang, you said long ago that you would not be responsible. Of course, I have never wanted you to be responsible. This child was an accident, but he means more to me than he does to you.”
Lin Fei’er paused and calmly expressed her thoughts.
“Mr. Jiang, there is someone you like, and you’ll get married and have your own children in the future. So, I hope that you’ll pretend that nothing has happened. I’ll take care of my child myself, and he won’t have anything to do with the Jiang family in the future.”
“If you’re worried that we’ll covet the Jiang family’s property in the future, we can sign a letter of severance of parent-child relationship right now.”
Standing in front of Lin Fei’er, Jiang Haoxuan saw that Lin Fei’er’s bright face was extremely calm. Her long eyelashes were like a small fan, casting a faint shadow on her face.
Jiang Haoxuan had to admit that Lin Fei’er was an attractive woman. From her appearance to her personality, she was completely different from Sheng An’ning.
After listening to what Lin Fei’er said, Jiang Haoxuan felt a little bitter in his heart.
He didn’t know what was wrong with him. He clearly didn’t want to have such a complicated relationship with Lin Fei’er, but now that Lin Fei’er had spoken so bluntly, Jiang Haoxuan felt very uncomfortable.
Jiang Haoxuan stared at Lin Fei’er and shifted his gaze to Lin Fei’er’s flat belly. Was it because there was a small life in there that his heart felt so bitter?
“My blood flows in him. I cannot ignore him. It will be very inconvenient for a single woman like you to take care of a child. As for the child support fee, I…”
Jiang Haoxuan muttered these words. Before he could finish, Lin Fei’er stood up in a daze. Her expression was harsh.
“I will take care of my own child. There is no need for Mr. Jiang to worry. Similarly, this child will completely belong to the Lin family from now on. It will have nothing to do with you at all.”
Jiang Haoxuan was stunned. He only wanted to give the child support fee. He didn’t understand why Lin Fei’er was so resolute.
It was Su Wan who reminded him gently from the side.
“Haoxuan, just pretend this never happened. You don’t like Fei’er and will soon marry and have children of your own. If you give Fei’er the child support fee and someone intentionally finds out, it will sooner or later lead to dispute.”
“Fei’er just doesn’t want her child to be criticized by the media as an illegitimate child.”
Su Wan patted Jiang Haoxuan on the shoulder, “I hope you won’t interfere in how Fei’er raises the child in the future too.”
Money was not a problem. If Lin Fei’er needed anything, as a good friend, Su Wan would help her without hesitation.
As for Jiang Haoxuan, since the person he liked was Sheng An’ning and he could not be responsible toward Lin Fei’er, he should not flirt with Lin Fei’er…
A noble family like the Jiang family had always been influential and affected countless people. Such a wealthy family would have more grudges and disputes.
Su Wan did not want her good friend to turn into a person who had to stay in the dark under the shadow of the public opinion.
When Lin Fei’er heard Su Wan’s words, she immediately understood that Su Wan had changed her mind and decided to support her.
Lin Fei’er sobbed when she heard Su Wan’s words. She rested her head on Su Wan’s shoulder and her voice sounded bitter.
“Wan, thank you for your understanding. I may have to trouble you with many things in the future.”
As a person who was not married, it was naturally difficult to have children. For example, she had to rely on her connections to register her child.
Su Wan held Lin Fei’er’s shoulder and wiped away her tears.
“Fei’er, I will respect your decision, but you still have one month. Please think carefully whether you want to keep this child or not…”
Jiang Haoxuan could not help but clench his hands when the two of them ignored him. His expression was complicated.
No matter what, this little life existed because of him. Could he really not care about anything?
