The Wealthy Psychic Lady: 99 Stolen Kisses

1078 Perplexed and Smitten 138

However, his offers did not entice Bu Xianxian at all. Although she had been dating Shi Shaochuan for quite some time now, she had only done it for the sake of money. She did not in the least bit love him.

How could she possibly marry him and give birth to his child? Wouldn't that mean that she would be tied down for the rest of his life?

Jin Qingyan was the only person she was willing to be tied down to. Others can forget about it!

Bu Xianxian was not entirely brainless, and she had also figured out that Shi Shaochuan would definitely keep a close eye on her if she were to tell him straight that she was planning to get an abortion. If that were to happen, she would lose her freedom too. Hence, she decided to comply for now.

However, Shi Shaochuan had also thought of the things she had figured out.

He was well aware of what she was thinking.

Shi Shaochuan said coaxingly in a tender voice, "Xianxian, don't worry, I'll definitely take responsibility. I'm different from those irresponsible men. Since I promised to marry you, I'll definitely do so and give you and our child a complete family."

"What if it's a girl?"

"We'll keep her too." However, he probably wouldn't marry her if it were to be a girl.

Bu Xianxian was filled with displeasure, for she had dreaded getting pregnant the most.

She wanted to abort it secretly behind his back before telling him.

She was afraid that by then…

"Xianxian, if you abort the child behind my back, don't blame me for being nasty to you."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean exactly what I said. Don't act rashly."

Bu Xianxian snapped, "Since you want a child so dearly, why didn't you make your former wives give birth to more children for you? I really can't figure out why you didn't get intimate with An Xiaoning at all throughout the two years of your marriage with her. If you had made her give birth to your children…" Jin Qingyan wouldn't have wanted to marry her! she thought to herself.

She dared not voice it out loud.

"What if I had made her give birth to my children?"

"Nothing, I just can't understand why."

"Why should I have made her give birth to my children? Is she fit to be the mother of my child? I'll never get intimate with her even if she were the last woman on earth."

Finding that he had great taste in women, she asked, "Does that mean you think that I deserve to give birth to your child more than she does?"

Somehow, she felt a sudden sense of superiority.

"Of course, you're far better than she is."

If only Jin Qingyan thought the same, Bu Xianxian thought to herself.

Before Shi Shaochuan left, he assigned two bodyguards to keep close tabs on Bu Xianxian all day, regardless of where she goes. Although Bu Xianxian appeared to be enjoying freedom on the surface, she was, in fact, living no different from a prisoner.

It was not that easy for her to get an abortion.

Since she didn't have any friends, she decided to go home to inform her parents about her pregnancy and, at the same time, seek their opinion.

After hearing her words, Mr. and Mrs. Bu were shocked out of their senses.

"Are you really pregnant?"

Bu Xianxian answered with a nod, "Yes."

"What do you plan to do about it, then?"

"Mother, I don't want to keep the baby, but that person insists that I give birth to it."

"Why don't you want it?" Mrs. Bu asked again.

"I don't love him anyway. I'm only dating him for the sake of money. I don't plan to spend the rest of my life with him."

Mrs. Bu said, "Xianxian, your father and I didn't agree to let you go under the knife just so you could exchange your looks for money. We still hope that you'll be able to change your views and settle down with a man who treats you well. How could you get together with a man purely for the sake of money?"

"I just don't want the baby. He's twice-divorced and has a daughter from his second marriage. His parents are dead. That's why he wants to keep this child. He's wealthy."

Bu Xianxian had rarely spoken to her parents about Shi Shaochuan.

They barely knew much about him.Read more chapter on v ipnovel. com

"You… you seriously…" Mr. Bu had no idea what to say about his daughter and continued smoking incessantly.

"You want to get an abortion but he doesn't want you to. In that case, why don't you just give birth to it? Just marry him. Women ought to just settle down with a man."

"Mother, do you know who his first wife was?"

"Who?"

"She's An Xiaoning."

"Really?" Mrs. Bu asked in astonishment.

"Yes. He was a little displeased when he first saw me."

Feeling a little worried, Mrs. Bu said, "Think about it. He divorced Ms. An and yet you look so much like her now. How could he possibly be good to you? He'd better not be using you to get a child. By the way…"

Mrs. Bu's heart grew heavy at the thought of a greater problem. She continued, "It would be fine if the child looks like him. But wouldn't the cat be let out of the bag if the child looks like you before you went under the knife?"

"I can't give birth to that child. However, he has ordered two bodyguards to keep close tabs on me at all times. They're now watching me right outside the door. There's no way for me to go to the hospital at all."

"Xianxian, don't be like this…" After she racked her brains, an idea popped up in Mrs. Bu's mind. She said, "Inform him beforehand that you went under the knife to look like Ms. An. Tell him that there's a possibility that the child may not be genetically blessed. Show him a photo of yourself before you got plastic surgery. Perhaps he wouldn't compel you to give birth then."

Bu Xianxian found that her mother's words made sense. For the first time, she felt like her mediocre looks would actually come in handy.

"What if it still doesn't work?"

After a moment of silence, Mrs. Bu answered, "Then we'll have to come up with another solution. We'll worry about that when the time comes. Just try this first."

"Alright." With a heavy heart, Bu Xianxian proceeded to look for photos of her old self. Staring at her old photos, she felt as if she was looking at someone else.

She deliberately picked out a photo in which she appeared even uglier than she originally was, so as to exaggerate things.

She returned to the rented apartment with the photo and waited for Shi Shaochuan to come home.

The weather in Y Nation was gloomy when the four of them arrived.

Despite it being summertime in July, the temperature in Y Nation was much colder, unlike the sweltering heat in S Nation.

Just as they exited, they heard the sounds of an alarm coming from above.

"Latest update: We're facing a terrorist attack in the city. To all tourists who are heading toward the city, please make a detour. To all tourists who are heading toward the city, please make a detour. This is to prevent any dire consequences."

The four of them stopped in their tracks. Pointing at the seat further away, An Xiaoning said, "Let's stop and observe the situation first."

"Yes, we'll leave later."

"Mr. Jin will probably contact us."

They sat down, after which Long Tianze took out his laptop to check for the latest updates of the situation. He said, "Seems like it's the doing of the DK Organization. We'd better not go for now."

After waiting for news for a long time, they still did not receive any calls from Jin Qingyan. An Xiaoning suggested, "Shall we just head to the address they had given us?"

"It'd be good for us to go take a look. That's better than waiting here aimlessly."

An Xiaoning took out one of the two guns she had brought along and handed it to Mei Yangyang. "Take one with you."

Mei Yangyang grabbed the gun. An Xiaoning took the lead while Mei Yangyang followed behind the other two people who were walking in between her and An Xiaoning.

They hailed a taxi in a bid to head to the address. However, the taxi driver turned them down.

He refused to send them there due to the chaos that had just broken out.

After receiving the same response from several other drivers, An Xiaoning asked, "Could Qingyan…"

"Sis, don't let your imagination run wild." Pointing at a bus that was not too far away, Mei Yangyang continued, "There's a big bus there. Let's go take a look. If we're near the location, let's board the bus to get there."
