Chapter 27: I’ll Carry this Child if You Die
Translator: Lonelytree
Jiang Niansheng quickly covered her naked front. “Sheng Hanye!”
“I won’t have any women bear my child.” His eyes were dark. “You’re the only one.”
“I never wanted this privilege to begin with!”
“But you have no choice,” Sheng Hanye said. “From the moment you agreed to accept help at the door of the operating theater, you have surrendered your autonomy!”
Jiang Niansheng bit her lower lip. “Regardless, I still hold the opinion that a child is never to be as a leverage!”
“Of course not!”
She wanted to say something, but Sheng Hanye did not want to argue with her anymore.
He raised his hand and turned off all the lights in the bedroom.
In the darkness, he could feel the delicacy of her skin better.
Jiang Niansheng was trembling helplessly. She tried her best to resist. “No… Sheng Hanye… I will hate you even more…”
At this moment, Sheng Hanye was doing the most brutal thing, but he was saying the most gentle words. “Ah Sheng,” He called her affectionately, “I want to have a child with you.” At that moment, Sheng Hanye could not tell if he was treating her as Wen Wan or Jiang Niansheng. The faces of the two women overlapped in his mind.
“Why would I… I don’t want to bring a child into a contract marriage…”
“Because you have to be the mother of my child.”
Jiang Niansheng clutched the blanket in pain. She almost broke her nails.
Sheng Hanye whispered in her ear again and again, “Ah Sheng, Ah Sheng.”
His low and mellow voice suggested a deep love. But all Jiang Niansheng felt was cruelty.
“Ah Sheng,” He claimed, “You’re mine.”
Sheng Hanye held her wrist and put it on his shoulder. His breathing became heavier.
Jiang Niansheng’s nails scratched his back, leaving many red marks. However, that was incomparable to the pain in her heart…
Sheng Hanye was incomparably gentle, she had not seen the man adopt such meticulous caution before. However, it only made her feel worse. She wanted to cry but her tears were dry.
“Sheng Hanye…”
“I’m here.”
Jiang Niansheng squeezed out the words, “I hate you.”
“Good,” Sheng Hanye said. “It’s better to hate me than to love me.”
“I hate you, I hate you, I hate you, I hate you!”
Eventually, Jiang Niansheng could not take it anymore and her head became dizzy.
Sheng Hanye was still chanting, “Ah Sheng, Ah Sheng…”
She had fainted.
After a long time, Sheng Hanye got out of bed and carried Jiang Niansheng into the bathtub.
He washed her carefully. After that, he put on a bathrobe and carried her back to the bed. He covered her with the blanket and kissed her forehead.
The dark red stain on the bedsheet was particularly eye-catching.
Sheng Hanye stood in front of the window and took out a cigarette from the cigarette box. He was about to put it to his mouth when he thought of something. He looked back at Jiang Niansheng, who was sleeping soundly and threw the cigarette into the trash can.
Then, the corner of his mouth curled up.
Her first time was his, and all of her was his.
This made Sheng Hanye feel inexplicably satisfied.
At that moment, he considered the idea of spending the rest of his life with Jiang Niansheng… It would not be such a bad idea.
After a long time, Sheng Hanye heard a rustling sound behind him.
He turned around and found that Jiang Niansheng had woken up. She leaned on the headboard of the bed, looking at him with a dim gaze.
“You can have my body, but you never get me to give birth to you child.” Her voice was firm. “Tomorrow morning, I will go to the pharmacy to buy the medication. I will never bear your child.”
Sheng Hanye’s pupils constricted. “You wouldn’t dare!”
“Why wouldn’t I?”
“You can try,” he said. “We’ll see which pharmacy dares to sell the medication to you.”
Jiang Niansheng smiled. “Fine, I won’t buy from the pharmacy. If I do get pregnant, there are thousands of ways for me to get rid of it. How about falling down the stairs?” She was not joking. Her eyes were hollow but they were determined. She hated him so much that she’d rather harm herself than have his baby.
Sheng Hanye was suddenly afraid. He was very afraid that Jiang Niansheng would go through with it.
However, Sheng Hanye would never show his weakness before others!
He walked to the bedside and looked down at her. “What do you want in exchange for the child?”
“It’s very simple,” Jiang Niansheng replied. “I’ll keep the child if you die.”
Sheng Hanye pursed his thin lips. “You’ve not given up on that?”
“I will never forget the pain of having my family destroyed.”
He looked into her hateful eyes and wanted to tell her that it was Elder Sheng who made that decision. However, he did sign his approval. He was not innocent, he was an accomplice.
“Okay.” Sheng Hanye suddenly agreed. “When the child is born, I will give you my life.”
Jiang Niansheng smiled. “You and your beautiful words… By the time the child arrives, your goal will be achieved. How am I supposed to hold you to your words?”
“You don’t believe me?”
“Sheng Hanye, you only realized that now?”
He bent down and sat beside her. “What do I have to do to make you believe me?”
Jiang Niansheng stared at him. This Sheng Hanye was a complete stranger to her. ‘Why did his attitude suddenly soften… Or is he changing a new tact? He’s coaxing me while using my brother to threaten me. Hah, this man and his tricks.’
Jiang Niansheng’s heart was pained. It spread from her heart to her limbs. Jiang Niansheng frowned and clenched her palm to resist the pain.
She turned her head away. “If you want me to believe you, you have to start to gain it.”
“How?”
“By returning the Jiang family’s company to me.”
Sheng Hanye agreed without hesitation. “Okay.”
Jiang Niansheng was stunned. ‘He didn’t even think about it. Does he want this child that badly?’
She added, “You have to keep your promise.”
“Always.”
It was rare to see such a good-tempered Sheng Hanye. Or all men were easier to deal with after they had had sex?
Jiang Niansheng glared at him angrily. She turned over and lay down. She covered herself with the blanket and ignored him.
Looking at the woman under the blanket, Sheng Hanye’s eyes softened.
Wen Wan was really different from Jiang Niansheng.
Wen Wan never lost her temper with him and never ignored him because she was a member of the Flying Feather and his subordinate. His words were an order. And she would do anything to fulfill them.
Jiang Niansheng, on the other hand, would give him a cold shoulder and disobey him whenever she had the chance.. She was never afraid of stepping on his toes.
