Jiang Mi's legs buckled and she nearly fell upon hearing his words. She hadn't expected Jiang Jingxiu to be so perceptive. Of course, how could she dare to doubt his intelligence?
If his intelligence hadn't been so high, how could he have had so many girlfriends over the years without any of them bearing him a child?
Moreover, Mian Mian's intelligence was very high, while she was only mediocre. Naturally, it was because she had inherited his excellent genes.
Jiang Mi suddenly stumbled and moved forward on her knees, grabbing his hand. She looked up at him pleadingly, "Uncle, I know I was wrong. I really had no other choice. Mian Mian is waiting to be saved, and everything is my fault. Mian Mian did nothing wrong. Please, let me keep this child to save Mian Mian's life. The doctor said this is her only chance."
Jiang Jingxiu looked expressionlessly at the woman kneeling before him, weeping profusely. His face showed little emotion. He detested deception, and even more so, women who schemed against him. Yet, everything this woman before him had done was a scheme!
He reached out and pinched her face, sneering, "Jiang Mi, you are truly audacious. You played me for a fool. If you hadn't thought the child was dead, would you have planned to hide it from me forever? Hmm?"
"I didn't think about that. I just wanted to save Mian Mian, my daughter," Jiang Mi mumbled, slumped on the floor, tears falling like raindrops.
Tang Xinran, who was eavesdropping outside, felt her chest ache with anger. Jiang Jingxiu was the man she loved. Not only had that bitch Jiang Mi secretly given birth to his child, but she was now pregnant again!
Jiang Jingxiu had never given her any chance to get close to him, especially after that incident where Jiang Mi took advantage of her drugging him. Since then, Jiang Jingxiu had increased security measures around him. Unless he wanted to, no one could drug him or sleep with him again.
But why was Jiang Mi so lucky? She got pregnant on her first accidental encounter and gave birth to Jiang Jingxiu's child. Years later, she wanted to get pregnant with Jiang Jingxiu's child again and succeeded.
Where had things gone wrong? Why was Jiang Jingxiu so exceptionally lenient with her?
Could it be...
No! It couldn't be! Jiang Jingxiu only loved the deceased Tang Yaqi. He couldn't possibly fall for another woman, not even himself, let alone a bitch like Jiang Mi.
She had to find a way to get rid of the child in Jiang Mi's womb so she couldn't cling to Jiang Jingxiu!
...
Mian Mian was moved from a regular ward to a high-class one. She had never stayed in such a nice room before, so she looked around with curiosity. Her face was almost disfigured, but she still explored everywhere, having forgotten her past pain.
Jiang Jingxiu sat on the sofa, looking at the little creature scurrying around with a complicated gaze. Although the child was chubby and disfigured, she was still so cute that his heart softened.
He still hadn't fully processed how he suddenly had such a big daughter. He was still struggling to digest and accept this fact.
He had never considered having children before. In fact, he was part of the DINK (Double Income, No Kids) movement and didn't want children. His own experiences made him feel that having children was just inviting suffering, so there was no need.
When Mian Mian encountered something unfamiliar, she would turn around and ask her father. Jiang Jingxiu patiently answered. After Mian Mian finished exploring and understood the room, she turned and quickly pounced into her father's arms, looking up at him with her ravaged little face, "Daddy, you won't disappear again, will you?"
