31. Chapter XXXI
CHAPTER XXXI
When the doctors and nurses pushed the door open, their faces were solemn, and a baby cry woke everyone present.
Xia Liangshan rushed into the ward with an arrow, and saw Peaches lying quietly on the bed, her eyes were dim, and her black and gentle hair was like seaweed on her thin shoulder blades, like flowers that would eventually wither to death.
After a pause for a few seconds, Xia Liangshan picked up the small, soft baby boy, he had been crying, fragile like a crystal foam, which made people dare not touch it lightly.
Met her helpless and loving eyes, and finally, she held his hand with difficulty, and she looked at him with nostalgia in her eyes, and every glance was like a farewell.
Eventually, her tears slowly and slowly gathered on the cold bed, and the fragile and crystalline tears seemed to be broken by her eyes in an instant.
At that moment, Xia Liangshan clumsily hugged the baby boy in her arms who was crying until her cheeks were red, and listening to his sharp and poignant cry, she couldn't help but cry bitterly.
The moment Momoko closed her eyes, she only said one sentence to her: "Send him to the welfare home, after all, you are still young." β
After cooking the peaches, it was already bright outside.
She dragged the tired baby in her arms, and because she was worried that he would catch a cold, she also specially wrapped him in a soft baby quilt.
When Shen Liangye appeared, she had just stepped into the taxi with her front foot and was dragged down by him.
His strength was so great that it hurt her arm.
She hadn't seen him for months, and he seemed to have grown thinner, his hair longer, and his haggard look made her think that it had been centuries since she had last seen him.
After a long stalemate, she no longer broke free, but smiled at him reluctantly, "Shen Liangye, what are you doing here?" Peaches is dead, what are you doing pestering me if you don't take one last look at her? β
Then, she heard him breathe deeply, "I already know." After speaking, his eyes were red, and his face was slightly decadent, "Liang Lonely, hand him over to me, you are young, it is not suitable to carry a child." β
Hearing this, she grinned, with a hint of bitterness in her smile, but she still raised her face and asked him: "Shen Liangye, do you know that this child is..."
Before she could finish speaking, he replied to her in a firm voice: "I know." β
"But why are you? Just because this is the only flesh and blood left by the woman you love? β
At that moment, he stood motionless in place, with a sad and affectionate look on his face, which almost moved her.
But in the next second, she hugged the baby who had fallen asleep tightly, turned around coldly and resolutely, and left him with only one sentence: "I think love that does not ask for anything in return is not called love, it is called cheapness!" β
The wind was blowing, the air was cold and smelly of rain, and there was an invisible but inexhaustible haze, and the scene in front of her was leaden gray, and at this moment, every tree, every person, became silent and blurred to her.
She sat by the fountain in the garden in the middle of the street, took the prepared bottle out of her bag, and the sunlight passed through the green grass beside her, falling on her pale face, and as she took care of the baby in her arms, rows of flashing lights flashed at her face like ghosts.
When she saw this scene, her expression was as peaceful as ever.
She admits that after being reborn after a catastrophe, she has become unpanicked and unfazed.
So, when those entertainment tabloid reporters kept taking pictures in front of her, she just faced them coldly, until one of them asked her, "Miss Xia, I heard that you and Second Young Master Xu have canceled their marriage contract, so is the child in your arms the flesh and blood of Second Young Master Xu?" β
"You disappeared for several months in a row, just to give birth to this child and put pressure on the Xu family?"
When she felt that it was dark in front of her, Xu Mingchen parked the car on the side of the road.
He calmly stepped out of the car, protecting her and the child behind him, as the new heir of the Xu family, he naturally had the right to speak on this matter, "I'm sorry, this is a private matter between my younger brother and Miss Xia, and it's inconvenient for me to answer." β
Although he didn't reveal anything, the ambiguity in his words had already euphemistically admitted the truth of the matter.
In the carββ
"Xu Mingchen, are you investigating me? You also revealed this matter to the media? At that moment, her anger jumped up again.
"yes." He replied to her slowly, "Who else but me would be so boring and try to involve you and Xu Er every day?" β
After speaking, he gently touched the baby's slippery face, shrugged his shoulders, and said with surprise in his eyes: "Little thing, you were born at the right time." With you, my uncle has a better chance of winning. β
Xia Liangshan glared at him fiercely, but he smiled, his eyes wandered on her face unscrupulously, "What, Xia Liangliang, do you have an opinion on this matter?" But don't forget, this qiΔ is what you promised me. β
She barely endured the anger in her belly, and replied to him like a courtesy: "What about what you promised me?" β
He pretended to have a look of sudden realization, tapped his temples lightly, and exclaimed, "Look at me, I have forgotten such an important matter!" We'll leave at 10 a.m. this Saturday and I'll call the driver to pick you up from school. β
**
When Xia Liangshan returned to school, she found that everyone looked at her with strange eyes, she thought, they must think that she was a woman who would do anything to climb to the powerful, and the baby in her arms was the best proof that she was ruthlessly abandoned by a wealthy family.
At that moment, it seemed as if the whole world was laughing at her, but what did it matter? She smiled wryly at herself, anyway, she had already decided to go through the formalities of quitting school and find a job to raise this child, although she had not yet thought of his name, but her determination to live with him was so strong.
Thinking that in less than two days, she was going to leave for Seattle with Xu Mingchen, so she temporarily placed him at her cousin Xia Shu's house and prepared to leave.
When the plane landed over Seattle, it was still raining outside, and she and Xu Mingchen walked side by side on the streets of a foreign country in the drizzle. A foreign girl in the twilight, a yellow-haired youth on a bicycle and whistling, he rode through the colorful glow, along the Parker Market, to the Space Needle.
Every qiΔ that comes into the eyes is like a dream.
Finally, they stopped in front of a gray-white castle building, and heard Xu Mingchen say that because Xu Er couldn't stand the smell of disinfectant water in the hospital, he moved into this castle to recuperate before his body recovered.
When San Bao opened the door and saw the cool silence of Xia that seemed to fall from the sky, he was suddenly startled, and his face became more and more heavy and uneasy.
After a few simple greetings, he walked into the house to report to Xu Er, half of the balcony window was still open, and the cool breeze blew down the curtain floating in mid-air, he knew that Xu Er was lying on the single bed on the edge of the balcony, I don't know if he saw Xia Liangshan just now.
He stepped forward gently, and he was usually rough and soft-spoken at this time, as if the voice would crush Xu Yichen if he was any louder, "Young Master, Miss Xia is here." β
No one responded.
After about half a minute, he plucked up the courage to explore cautiously: "Young Master, Miss Xia, she..."
In the next second, he was greeted by an infusion bottle that rose into the air.
"Bang", at that moment, the water splashed, and he heard Xu Yichen's cold roar from inside, "I don't see!" Tell her to get out! β
Sanbao was stunned in place for a few seconds, then let out a long sigh, he hung his head and opened the door, his face softened slightly, "Miss Xia, the young master said that he won't see you, you better go back." β
She looked at her in surprise, and then regained her composure, "Then you go and tell him, and I will stay here until he sees me." β
Seeing her attitude so resolute, Sanbao frowned, with a helpless face, "Miss Xia, if he said that if he doesn't see you, he won't see you, why do you have to embarrass me?" β
With a faint sigh, her nerves tightened, and she said with relief: "Okay, I don't embarrass you, you go and sue your young master, whether you see me or not is his business, but how long to wait for him here is my business." β
Hey, isn't that embarrassing him?
In desperation, Sambo turned around and closed the door.
And so, she stood stupidly in front of the door, her feet as if they were nailed there by steel nails, and as it approached May, the rain in Seattle filled the city, and she still stood in the light rain when night fell.
Xu Mingchen was hidden in a no-man's corner, he held an umbrella and smiled intently at her stubborn back until the pouring rain slid down her hair and slid down her cheeks, her neck, and her whole body.
The wolf looked like a wolf that made him unable to laugh, and he moved forward, but in the next second he regained his senses, so he left without looking back.
Xia Liangxi didn't remember how long she had been drenched in the rain, when the water rushed towards her, her thoughts became clearer and clearer, at that moment she felt that she must be a person with a trembling M attribute, once Xu Er was very close to her, she often yelled at him, and there was no reserve and gentleness that a girl should have. And now, when Xu Er was really determined to push her away, she ran towards him with no relent.
The room was dimly lit, Xu Yichen stood by the window with a sharp pain in his chest, he frowned, and looked at her intently for a long time.
It wasn't until she was drenched in the rain that she finally fell to the ground without her body, and he was angry for a while, and rushed into the heavy rain without hesitation despite everyone's best to stop her.
In the vast rain, her legs collapsed limply into his arms, and at that moment she was covered by the heavy rain, so pitiful. His heart tightened, and he picked her up with all his might, and as soon as he took a step, he fell to the ground with her.
Later, it was Sam Bao and a group of servants from the Xu family who carried them into the house.
He was lying on the big soft bed, trembling all over, looking like he was dying. At this moment, he, who has always been domineering, became unusually soft in his eyes after she appeared.
After thinking about it, he called Sanbao and ordered: "You go and call Fang Siya, I want you to accompany me to play a play." β
