She stumbled out.

Pei Ziheng grabbed her and said lowly, “You’re not allowed to go.”

She turned back in anger and tried to shake his hand off. “Let me go! I want to find Xiao Yu! She’s my sister and not yours, so you’re not worried, right?! I don’t believe she would harm me, I don’t believe it!” she said while struggling with both hands and feet, but he pulled her into his embrace and made sure she couldn’t escape.

Pei Ziheng looked into her eyes. “Where can you go to find her? The police, private detectives and the people I sent out all failed to find her, so how could you find her? Xia Ling, face reality and don’t throw a tantrum anymore. If you’re really worried about her, then forget about this matter and don’t let the police find her whereabouts and bring her to justice!”

“I won’t!” she cried. “Let me go!”

She pushed him hysterically but couldn’t push him away. Her tears fell like rivulets and she was a crying mess. Pei Ziheng didn’t let go of her no matter how she tossed. Suddenly, he noticed that the body in his arms turned soft like a broken bird, fluttering down into the crook of his arms.

Pei Ziheng’s expression changed. “Xiao Ling, Xiao Ling?!”

He looked down at her face and found that her good-looking eyes were shut tightly and her breathing was weak. Pei Ziheng carried her and strode out quickly. He called the driver and drove straight to the hospital.

The result was amazing.

The doctor wearing a white coat came out and smiled. He said, “Congratulations, Mr. Pei. Miss Xia Ling is pregnant.” This hospital often accepted donations from the Pei family and was familiar with them. The doctors had dealt with the family and had known for a long time what should and shouldn’t be asked. Thus, they were not gossipy about the relations.h.i.+p between Pei Ziheng and Xia Ling.

Pei Ziheng didn’t expect this result. The good news came too suddenly and he didn’t have a sense of reality.

The doctor smiled and called him, “Mr. Pei? Mr. Pei?”

He regained his senses and asked eagerly, “Really? How old is the fetus?”

The doctor said, “Nine weeks of pregnancy. The fetal image is somewhat unstable, so she must rest well.”

Nine weeks…

Counting it, it happened to be around the time of w.a.n.g Jingwan’s accident, the time when they quarreled. When they were together, Pei Ziheng always paid great attention to contraception, and only that time had been too confusing and he had forgotten to take extra measures.

The child came at a wrong timing, and after Pei Ziheng’s short burst of surprise and joy, he began to consider what to do about the heir. If Xiao Ling gave birth to a daughter, then everything would be blissful, but if it was a son…

His eyes darkened. How could he have an illegitimate child before his eldest son was born?

It would become a huge mess in the future for him.

He asked the doctor, “When can I see the s.e.x of the fetus?”

The doctor said, “You can’t see it now. You can see it when it’s about three months old. It’s most accurate in the fourth to fifth month.”

Pei Ziheng said softly, “You’ve worked hard.” He walked into the VIP single room and stayed by her bed, looking down at the sleeping girl. Perhaps it was because of the child, but she looked even more beautiful than before. Her complexion seemed to be shrouded in a layer of faint light, and even in her sleep, she made people’s hearts sway gently.

He reached out and smoothed down her hair, and said in a soft voice, “Xiao Ling, we will have a beautiful daughter.”

Her eyelashes twitched and she woke up.

The sun sprinkled softly on her, and her eyes were still a little groggy. She took a while to see him sitting beside her bed and was immediately awake. She recalled the things that had happened before her coma, and she opened her mouth to say something, but her throat seemed to be stuck and she couldn’t make a sound. What could she say? That she would continue whining to find Xia Yu?

Pei Ziheng’s words were right. If Xia Yu really hated her and killed w.a.n.g Jingwan and was on the run, then it was the best choice not to look for Xia Yu. Only then could the possibility of Xia Yu escaping from the police and the w.a.n.g family increase. Her heart thumped painfully and it hurt so much she had to curl her body up.

Pei Ziheng said, “You’re awake? Do you want something to eat?”

She shook her head weakly and muttered hoa.r.s.ely, “Let me be alone.”

Pei Ziheng looked down at her. “You have to eat something, the doctor said you’re pregnant.”

She widened her eyes and looked like she didn’t understand what he was saying. She asked subconsciously, “What?” She… how could she be pregnant? At this critical juncture of chaos? Her heart was sour and her hand gently covered her lower abdomen, suspecting that she was dreaming.

Pei Ziheng said, “You don’t seem too happy.”

His words suddenly enraged her. She looked up and sneered. “Happy? Pei Ziheng, would you be happy if you were me? You refuse to marry me, refuse to give the child a name, so why should I give birth to him and make him suffer?!” She felt more and more wronged as she spoke and was utterly heartbroken.

Pei Ziheng held her hand nearest the bedside. “Status is not as important as you think. If you really want it, then wait patiently for a few years. I will give the child a name.”

She trembled. “What do you mean?”

He said slowly, “If you really feel bad, then I’ll let her take after my wife’s name. You can raise her yourself, but her clothes and food and the inheritance will still be given no less.”

She pulled her hand away as if she had an electric shock. “You’re shameless!”

“Why am I shameless,” he said calmly. “You can raise her however you like, I’m only giving you a choice. I told you I would live with you in the future, and everything except marriage is negotiable.”

She didn’t like him discussing such a cruel topic in this tone, it sounded like he was giving her a gift from G.o.d. She glared at him fiercely, her chest heaving, and said in determination after a while, “I want to abort the baby.”

Pei Ziheng’s eyebrows jumped. “You are crazy.”

“I want to abort it!” She yelled at him in agitation. “Since you can’t give your child a complete home, then don’t let him be born into the world to suffer! Pei Ziheng, not everything is up to you, I have the final say on the child! I don’t want him, do you hear, I don’t want him! I don’t want to have a child with you!”

She was extremely fierce but looked like she was crying.

Pei Ziheng looked at her sternly and said word by word, “I don’t allow it.”

“I don’t care if you allow it!”

“You can try it out, but no hospital will be willing to help you with the abortion surgery.” He was very wealthy and there was no place he couldn’t manage. Furthermore, he could send bodyguards to follow her so that she wouldn’t even be able to find a chance.

Xia Ling was even more agitated. She grabbed a vase from the bedside table and hurled it at him. “Get out! Get out!”

He dodged the vase and the white porcelain fell to the ground, splattering water around. “Since you’re so energetic, why don’t you keep the baby,” he said to her calmly. “I want you and the baby to be healthy.”
