Chapter 157 - You are a liar

Chapter 157 You are a liar

Looking at Xia Nuan without guiltiness, the old lady said with tears in her eyes, “I know you are Xia Nuan, wife of the famous musician Ye Sichen. But you are the mother of my grandson, too.”

Xia Nuan was shocked.

The old lady said it calmly, but Xia Nuan was deeply disturbed.

“I don’t quite understand what you mean.” Xia Nuan held Ansheng in her arms and looked at the sick boy in the bed, feeling distressed and confused.

“Ms. Xia, I think you know what I’m talking about.” The old lady wiped her tears and fell to the ground on her knees towards Xia Nuan.

Being at a loss, Xia Nuan took a step back.

“The boy lying on the bed is your son. You gave birth to him as you were a surrogate mother. Now he has leukemia and he is dying. I beg you for help. Would you please save him?” The old lady looked at Xia Nuan with tears in her eyes, “I am sorry for faking the certification. But please understand that I did it because I want you to save my grandson. He is also your son. I can’t accept that he is dying. Ms. Xia, could you help him?”

Hearing these words, Xia Nuan began to believe that the boy lying on the bed was her son!

She used to dream him. In the dream, he had red lips and white teeth, healthy and lively, but the reality was just the opposite. Xia Nuan was distressed and her tears fell on Ansheng’s hands. Ansheng was confused to see Xia Nuan with his big round eyes.

“How can I save him?” After a long time, Xia Nuan calmed down and asked the old lady.

Covering her mouth with a handkerchief, the old lady said in a choked voice, “The only way is to give birth to a baby as his brother or sister.”

After a moment, Xia Nuan responded, “We can try to convince the baby through vitro fertilization.”

“I’ve done some consultation. Only when you conceive the baby naturally, the baby could be more resistant to disease.” The old lady refused.

Xia Nuan frowned.

“Ms. Xia, I know your relationship with Ye Sichen. Please know that I don’t want to make you in trouble, but I don’t have other choices. This is the only way to save him.” The old lady looked embarrassed, “You can temporarily lie to Mr. Ye that you’ll be away from him for almost a year. After giving birth to a baby, you can go back to him. You can rest assured. We would sign a Confidentiality Agreement.”

“I need some time to think about it.”

Xia Nuan felt ambivalent.

On her way home, the child’s condition haunted her.

Of course, she wouldn’t see him dying without doing anything. But she was still skeptical about the identity of the old lady, so she decided to go to the hospital for a paternity test.

People close to Ye Sichen were always trying to drive a wedge between them. What if it was a trap?

Carrying Ansheng in her arms, Xia Nuan got off the car.

At this point, Ye Sichen got off another car. The two looked at each other for a second, then Ye Sichen went to hold Ansheng in his arms with a serious expression.

“Does Ansheng feel better now?”

Xia Nuan nodded.

Touching Ansheng’s forehead and feeling that his fever reduced, Ye Sichen was relieved at once. Then he looked at Xia Nuan seriously.

“Why didn’t you take Ansheng to Mi Ke’er’s home last night?” As they went to the bedroom together, Ye Sichen asked.

Thinking about how he held Mi Ke’er last night, Xia Nuan felt jealous and uncomfortable.

She made an excuse, “Since it was too late, I don’t want to disturb Mi Ke’er to rest.”

Thinking of the old lady, she wondered whether it was necessary to tell Ye Sichen about what happened to her and the old lady in the hospital. Inadvertently, she found that the bathrobe she prepared for him was intact in the bath as yesterday, which meant he did not come home last night.

Xia Nuan stared at the bathrobe in a daze.

“Did you stay in the hospital all night?” Ye Sichen’s question broke the silence.

Xia Nuan gathered her thoughts, “Yes. Oh, by the way, I want to go back to Zhongshan recently. My mother is sick and no one could take care of her, so I want to go back and look after her.”

Ye Sichen asked, “How long does it take?”

“Perhaps more than a year. You know that my mother had an operation for a malignant tumor and she could hardly take care of herself.”

“I can hire a professional to take care of her. You don’t have to worry about her.” After washing his hands, Ye Sichen hugged Ansheng who was sitting on the stroller.

“No. Since Xia Yan is not with her, she must be very lonely.”

“Are you planning to meet Song Kuncheng in Zhongshan?” Ye Sichen queried coldly.

Xia Nuan felt uncomfortable and said, “I haven’t been in contact with Song Kuncheng and you shouldn’t doubt me like this.”

“Well, unless as a stowaway, or he would never be able to leave Country S.” Ye Sichen sneered.

Xia Nuan knew that he had always minded about her association with other men. However, this also proved that he didn’t trust her.

“Sichen, there is no point in being jealous. Let’s calm down for a while.”

“I won’t stop you if you want to leave me. You can go anywhere. Don’t act like I push you to do anything.” Ye Sichen lulled Ansheng to sleep and then went to the study.

Sitting in a chair, Xia Nuan felt complicated.

Ye Sichen didn’t come back since he went out in the afternoon, however, Xia Nuan didn’t call him. The next morning, she told the nanny to look after Ansheng, and then she went to the hospital where Ansheng was hospitalized last night.

She came here to have a paternity test with that child.

At last, the identification showed that the child was her son!

Sitting on his bed, she looked at him in a distressed expression. She wiped his forehead with a towel all day.

“Ms. Xia, as you see, the certification also shows that you are indeed his mother. If you really don’t want to save him, I won’t blame you. But the child is too pathetic...” The old lady became sad again with tears full of her eyes.

Holding the boy’s cold hands and putting his hands on her face, Xia Nuan said, “I’m willing to save him.”

He was her child. How could she refuse to help? She couldn’t live her whole life with guilt.

The old lady was relieved. Her eyes showed a gleam of hope, “Thank you so much. I’ll contact my son soon.”

Suddenly, Xia Nuan regretted it.

She was going to have sex with the child’s father to give birth to a baby. How could Ye Sichen accept it? Moreover, she didn’t want to deceive Ye Sichen.

“Mom, I miss you. Will you abandon me?” The boy whispered on the bed.

Xia Nuan’s heart softened and she held back her regret.

“Mom won’t leave you. How could I abandon you?” Xia Nuan kissed him on his forehead.

Seeing this scene, the old lady hesitated for a while and then left.

“Did she promise you? Did she have the paternity test?” Sitting in the car, a woman wearing sunglasses looked haughty.

It was Luo Dai’er.

“Yes. She promised. Of course, she ran the paternity test. Since Ansheng, her son, was hospitalized in the hospital last night, the nurse was bribed into collecting Ansheng’s blood for the paternity test.” The old lady lowered her voice.

“Well. Good job! You can rest assured. I’ll handle your daughter’s issue well. Next, do as I said.” Luo Dai’er shut the car window and drove away.

Until Luo Dai’er’s car disappeared into the distance, the old lady came back to the hospital.

“Ms. Xia, if you’re available, we can do this tonight, which means you cannot go back to Ye Sichen for the time being.” The old lady walked into the ward and said to Xia Nuan.

Xia Nuan took a deep breath and said, “I have to tell Ye Sichen in advance, otherwise, he would send people to find me.”

“Well, okay. Hurry up.”

Xia Nuan accompanied the boy for a while and then left the hospital.

When she was about to leave by a taxi, Paul came here to pick her up.

“Mr. Ye wants to see you.” Paul opened the door.

Xia Nuan frowned and got on the car with Paul.

When she got home, there was only Ye Sichen in the living room. Looking at him, Xia Nuan said, “I’m leaving this afternoon. The nanny will take care of Ansheng.”

“What did you do in the hospital? Are you uncomfortable?”

“I’m OK. I’m afraid that I would get a carsickness, so I bought some medicine in advance.” Xia Nuan showed Ye Sichen the medicine.

Ye Sichen stood up, took the medicine, and then threw it into the trash can.

“You are a liar. Xia Nuan, you didn’t even buy a plan ticket. Who is the little boy in the hospital? What is the relationship between you and him?” Ye Sichen squeezed Xia Nuan’s arms tightly.

“You’ve been monitoring me this whole time.” Xia Nuan sneered.

“If not, I wouldn’t know any of this. And I’ll continue to be kept in the dark.”

“The child is just a sick patient. Seeing him pitiful, I went to visit him.” Xia Nuan didn’t want to tell Ye Sichen the truth.

So, she lied to him.

She suffered a lot of ideological struggles to finally persuade herself to save the boy through natural conception. She was already in hell, so she didn’t want Ye Sichen to suffer any more.

Ye Sichen loosened Xia Nuan, but he was still skeptical about her words. He sat back on the sofa and looked away, “I’ll send someone to see you off.”

“Don’t worry. I’ll go there by ship with my friend.”

Looking at Ye Sichen, Xia Nuan suddenly held his hand, “Sichen, I hope you can understand that sometimes I have no choice.”

She tiptoed and kissed him on the cheek.

However, her kiss ignited Ye Sichen’s lust. Ye Sichen put his arms around her waist, and carried her to the bedroom.

Xia Nuan realized that maybe she shouldn’t have kissed him. When Ye Sichen hugged her tightly, she pushed him away, “I’m going to have a period.”

Ye Sichen’s body was pressing against hers. He pinched her chin, “Are you rejecting me?”

“No, I have a period.” Xia Nuan lied to him.

She didn’t want to affect the plan to conceive the baby.

Ye Sichen put his arms around her waist and tore her clothes apart, “You are a liar now.”

He knew exactly when she would have a period. She just lied to forbid him from touching her.

“I really have a period...” Xia Nuan tried to push him away but she failed. She lacked strength to move.
