Chapter 98 Corrupting the Child

h a lecherous gaze. She suddenly snapped back to reality in her mind.Crap, that little scoundrel actually used perfume on me; this is too despicable, making him seem like a past flower thief.Yan Luoxi...Chapter 98: Corrupting the Child

When Yan Luoxi heard Li An mention these scars again, she couldn't help but feel curious and concerned. She listened attentively to what Li An had to say.

Lian was used to being domineering and arrogant; he wasn't accustomed to presenting himself as weak in order to gain sympathy. But for the sake of winning back Yan Luoxi's heart, he gritted his teeth and revealed his pain to her. "After our last breakup, I went through a terrible period, indulging myself and feeling miserable to the point where I wanted to die. Sometimes, thinking about you made my heart ache so much that I would cut myself on my arm with a knife... using physical pain to numb the emotional pain in my heart..."

"What You mean it's true You... You actually hurt yourself..." Yan Luoxi was shocked and stared at the dense scars on Li An’s arms, realizing that they were inflicted because of her.

“It’s true.” Li An blushed a little. "Luoxi, I originally didn’t want to tell you about this. At the time, whatever pain I suffered was self-inflicted and deserved, so I shouldn't have told you these things and made you feel guilty and upset. But today, I’m telling you all of this because I just want you to understand how painful it was for me when you weren’t in my life… Luoxi, after experiencing such a heart-wrenching pain, how could I make the same mistake again How could I abandon you like that"

When Yan Luoxi heard Li An's words and thought about his suffering back then, she was shocked and pained. She carefully looked at the scars on Li An’s arm; tears welled up in her eyes. "You... You are so twisted. How could you hurt yourself like that That must have been so painful... Why would you do such a thing..."

Li An grabbed Yan Luoxi's hand and placed it over his chest. “Luoxi, the pain from these wounds on my skin doesn’t count as true pain; this is where I really feel it. If you leave me or refuse to forgive me, the pain here will be a hundred times worse than before because I’ve tasted the sweetness of happiness in marriage and now experiencing the anguish of losing what I once had is unbearable…”

Yan Luoxi was stunned by Li An's shocking declaration. She no longer had the strength to refuse him, and when he suggested taking her to the hospital, she nodded obediently.

Lian was delighted when Yan Luoxi agreed to go to the hospital with him and asked for hot porridge from the catering department, which she finally ate along with some light side dishes.

After eating something, Yan Luoxi felt better. She changed clothes and went to the hospital with Lian.

By the time they arrived at the hospital, it was almost midnight. Lian had called the hospital's management beforehand, so when they arrived, the director of the hospital, the head of obstetrics, the chief of the laboratory department, and others were already waiting at the entrance.

Yan Luoxi quietly scolded Lian for making such a fuss. Lian smiled and said, "When you were pregnant with Zhan Yan, I failed to fulfill my duties as a husband and couldn't be a good expectant father. This time, I will try my best to make up for it."

The hospital conducted specialized examinations for Yan Luoxi, and the results came out quickly. As expected, Yan Luoxi was pregnant, at 42 days.

Hearing this news, Lian was overjoyed and kept thanking the director, doctors, and nurses, as if he wanted to share his happiness with the whole world.

Yan Luoxi held her test results in hand but felt disoriented and couldn't make sense of it. She was a bit stunned, thinking that why did her children always choose such sensitive moments to arrive

Taking advantage of Lian's conversation with everyone else, she found an isolated spot in the hallway and sat down. At this time, she didn’t feel overly surprised about being pregnant again but also wasn't as frightened or anxious as when she was carrying Zhan Yan. She felt only a sense of confusion and unexpectedness.

She placed her hand on her still flat abdomen, thinking about the adorable little life growing there, like Yan Yandi. Every moment it was developing and would soon enter her world to become a part of her family... And what about her relationship with Li An How would it change because of this child's arrival...

After bidding farewell to everyone, when Li An turned around, he found that Yan Luoxi had disappeared. Instantly breaking out in cold sweat, he looked further and saw that she was unharmed, sitting on the sofa. He couldn't help but feel both amused and exasperated; this little girl had been so frightened that she had broken into a cold sweat several times that night!

"Luoxi!" Li An called out to her with joy as he approached, "Are you alright Are you tired" Seeing the obvious discomfort on Yan Luoxi's face, he didn't dare speak recklessly and only observed carefully.

"Yes, I'm tired. Can we go back now" Yan Luoxi stood up, deep in thought.

"Sure, let's first head back to the hotel. After you've rested well, we'll go home." Li An couldn't suppress his joy as he took Yan Luoxi’s hand and said, "Tomorrow, we’ll go see Mom first and tell Yandi that she will soon have a brother or sister who can play with her, read books together with her, and protect her. If it's a boy, when she gets bullied by some boyfriend in the future, he can beat him up for her..."

Yan Luoxi found Li An's way of thinking disturbing; their child was still an embryo, yet he already imagined them fighting... This man truly hadn't changed his wicked ways. Not only did he himself fail to set a good example, but now he wanted to teach the baby bad habits too, even before it had fully developed.

Excitedly chattering as they got into the car, Li An noticed that Yan Luoxi had closed her eyes and leaned against the seat. She must be tired, so he reluctantly stopped talking.

Back at the hotel, Li An opened the door for Yan Luoxi. Seeing her enter the room, he was about to follow in but Yan Luoxi reached out and stopped him, "You should stay in your own room."

"Luoxi!" Li An called out in pain and anxiety, "Since you're now pregnant, I must stay with you."

"When I was pregnant with Zhan Yan before, I managed just fine without anyone by my side," said Yan Luoxi blankly as she looked at Li An.

"Back then, I didn't know about your pregnancy and wasn't by your side. Now that I know you're pregnant, I want to be with you every moment," Li An declared resolutely.

"Li An, I'm very tired today. Don't make me angry; it's not good for the baby," Yan Luoxi noticed how much Li An cared about this child and used that as leverage.

Li An indeed frowned and thought hard, "But what if something happens at night What will you do"

"Nothing is going to happen. If anything does, I'll call you," Yan Luoxi promised solemnly.

Aware that Yan Luoxi was physically weak, Li An didn't want to force her and instructed the hotel's catering department to send a variety of fresh fruits and small desserts for Yan Luoxi in case she got hungry at night. After repeatedly urging, he reluctantly left Yan Luoxi’s room.

Seeing that Li An had left, Yan Luoxi let out a faint sigh of relief; she wasn't being overly sensitive by asking him to leave but rather needed some personal space to think things through.one who had just gone through a breakup. My clothes were disheveled, my hair messy, my face gaunt, and my expression dejected.Míng Zǐxī also lit up a cigarette and smiled at Lǐ n as he started to chat...
