Free Web NovelChapter 1167: Chapter 1187: How Should She Choose
Qi Yue finally came back to herself. She shook her head, braced a hand on the table, and collapsed into the chair.
The air was still filled with Nangong Zhongli’s scent. She held her forehead with her hand, yet that sense of unreality washed over her again. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
It felt like she’d just had a terrifying nightmare.
She really wished this was all just a dream!
Why did they have to make her choose between her baby and Xiaonuan? One was her most beloved flesh and blood, the other her best friend.
But she understood: with Nangong Zhongli’s ability and background, trying to fight her was like an ant wrestling an elephant.
It was basically an egg hitting a rock.
What Nangong Zhongli wanted wasn’t her child, nor Xiaonuan’s child, but... for the Crown Prince to completely give up on Xiaonuan.
If she simply wanted to make her abort the baby, she could think of ten thousand ways to do it.
She wouldn’t have gone to all this trouble to come and say these things to her.
Qi Yue shut her eyes in despair.
What was she supposed to do?
But with Nangong Zhongli’s reach, trying to run was almost impossible.
Besides, since she had already found her, she must have come fully prepared. Maybe Qi Yue would be caught before she even reached the airport.
Qi Yue’s heart, for a moment, didn’t even know what it was feeling.
She felt ice-cold in her hands and feet. She stretched out a hand and laid it on her lower belly.
There, the baby seemed to kick her again.
Qi Yue blinked, and tears fell instantly.
To make her betray Xiaonuan was absolutely impossible. Xiaonuan treated her like a sister; she could never do anything that would hurt her.
So did that mean she really only had the option of sacrificing this baby?
Qi Yue went home and thought it over the entire night.
In the end, she still made a difficult decision.
At dawn, she reached out and placed her hand on her stomach.
Baby, I won’t give you up, and I won’t hurt Xiaonuan either, so... even if it means betting my life on it, she had to find a way to protect the child in her belly.
As long as she told the Young Master the truth, told him that even though the child she was carrying was Situ Yan’s, she would take the child and leave this place, and never tell the baby about it.
After being around the Crown Prince for so long, she knew in her heart that although he was cold, he wasn’t heartless.
And with Xiaonuan around, the Crown Prince shouldn’t really be so cruel as to force her to abort the child, right?
If that was really how it turned out, she could only accept it.
But she would never bow to evil forces! She was the Qi Yue who couldn’t be knocked down!
Qi Yue took a cab to a flower shop, bought a bouquet of carnations for Xiaonuan, and then went to the hospital.
In the corridor, Qi Yue’s heart was all over the place. She kept her head down, lost in thought, and didn’t notice the person in front of her, so she slammed straight into a man’s chest.
Qi Yue hurriedly apologized as she lifted her eyes.
Only to see, to her surprise, that the person in front of her was actually Liang Shaochen.
"Liang... Mr. Liang?" Liang Shaochen lowered his head and saw her, and was also slightly taken aback.
"It’s you." He smiled, a little awkwardly.
"Mr. Liang, you’re here to see Xiaonuan, right? I just happen to be going to see her too." Qi Yue said warmly. Although Mr. Liang usually didn’t talk much and his personality was rather aloof, he always gave people a warm feeling.
Just seeing him made people feel at ease inside. It was like all their unhappiness would disappear.
When he heard that, Liang Shaochen froze for a second.
Then he said, "I’m here to see a friend."
Hearing this, Qi Yue couldn’t help but be stunned.
A friend? So... not Xiaonuan?
