Chapter 347: A Difficult Time
“I’ll look after the child, so you two can talk.” Mo Li tactfully carried Diu Diu to a different room. An Wan smiled gently at Mo Li. However, after Mo Li left, she revealed a displeased expression at Ming.
She had no patience for Ming. She slumped on the sofa. Her apricot-colored dress accentuated her fair and slender legs. There was an awkward distance between the two, and the tension was high. An Wan didn’t know what to say to this man. Two and half years ago, when her father was released from prison, she was already considered a dead woman by this man. She knew that the man would kill her if she continued to use her original name and identity, so to save herself, she moved away from her hometown of An Hwa City to move to Pearl River. She also changed her name to An Wan.
At the time, Pearl River was still developing. Security was good. An Wan didn’t dare use her own ID to look for a job, so she only took on simple cases like body double and so on. She gradually carved a name for herself as An Wan. Things were going well when her stomach slowly grew more prominent by the days…
At the same time, she received the news that her father was assassinated. An Wan had to go back into hiding for her own safety. The days that followed were filled with extreme fear that ordinary people couldn’t imagine. Using her father’s savings, An Wan eked out a living. It was too dangerous to accept any job then. However, that was not the end of her problem. An Wan stared at her growing stomach, and she panicked. At first, she told herself that she was merely gaining weight. However, her belly got bigger and rounder.
One day, An Wan picked up the knife and tried to end it once and for all. However, when the knife came close to her stomach, she could feel the child inside shiver in response. An Wan tried it repeatedly, but she would lose courage when she felt the little thing’s heartbeat. An Wan’s heart softened.
At the end of the day, the child was innocent. Even though An Wan had no idea who the father was, the child still deserved a chance to live. If An Wan murdered the child, how was she different from those people she was trying to evade from?
Eventually, An Wan slowly came to accept and even welcome the company of the unborn child. A few moments were when An Wan felt it wouldn’t be so bad to have someone accompany her for life. An Wan started to look forward to having a child living with her and accompanying her through her life. It brought her a sense of home to her drifting life.
An Wan had never felt that sense of belonging before. Her father was a martial arts teacher on the surface, but he was an undercover cop in reality. It was why he was killed. His cover had been exposed.
Whenever An Wan felt lonely at night, An Wan’s desire to keep the child grew.
The decision that she made led to many different problems. For one, she could no longer be a martial arts instructor. After her savings ran out, she found a former friend to borrow money. Unfortunately, she was photographed coming out from his home, and the rumors began that she was a homewrecker.
After she was banned by her company, An Wan had to do odd jobs to survive. She helped sell clothes, makeup and was even a dishwasher… An Wan worked very hard because she didn’t want her future child to suffer. She saved up money and found a shared apartment. This was when she met a girl called Fukase Yoshika.
Yoshika was a beautiful girl. She was tall, thin, and gorgeous. After an argument with her family, she got on a plane and came to China. She wanted to have a new start. However, things didn’t go as planned. She had no choice but to work the nightlife. To put it plainly, she was a prostitute.
Yoshika offered a very low rent but those self-proclaimed ‘decent’ people wouldn’t live with her. Yoshika wasn’t so dumb to share a room with men with impure intentions either. In the end, Yoshika settled on An Wan.
An Wan didn’t care about Yoshika’s reputation. She just wanted a better place to live. As long as Yoshika was an easy-going person, An Wan didn’t care about anything else. After all, compared to the people who murdered her father, Yoshika was already a saint!
The two women lived peacefully until the birth of Diu Diu. When Diu Diu was 1, Yoshika noticed something was off. Staring at Diu Diu, Yoshika felt like she was staring at her biological big brother!
