Chapter 190 As long as you give up
Xia Lanyue glanced at the sky, then, supporting herself on the table, struggled to her feet.
She gently stroked her belly and then went into the kitchen.
She had a premonition that Xia Yao wouldn't come back, but she still prepared his breakfast as usual.
Perhaps she still held onto a hope, hoping that Xia Yao would suddenly push open the door, embrace her, gently pat her back, and comfort her, assuring her that he had wronged her and that it wasn't her fault, and that he was willing to believe her.
But that was just her expectation.
Xia Lanyue sat at the table and waited until the sun was high in the sky and the porridge had cooled down completely before she finally gave up.
Xia Yao will not be coming back.
In the past, she would have left without hesitation.
But now, she can't be so carefree anymore. She doesn't know when it started, but Xia Yao has already taken root in her heart, and she can no longer easily say goodbye.
When a person falls in love with someone, they unconsciously become humble, and she was no exception.
Xia Lanyue stood up, tidied herself up quickly, and went out towards the residence of Chief Zhao. She was going to find Xia Yao.
"Young lady, the township official is out on official business," the village security guard said apologetically as he blocked her at the door.
Xia Lanyue sighed, forced a smile, nodded in agreement, and then turned and left.
She knew that Xia Yao didn't want to see her, and that continuing to pester him would be pointless.
Seeing Xia Lanyue leave, Cunbao turned back to the front hall and said to Xia Yao behind the door, "Township Chief, the person has returned."
Xia Yao nodded, "Thank you for your trouble."
Village security officer hesitated, then turned and left without saying anything.
Xia Yao lowered his eyes and stood still for a long time.
He only came to his senses when Village Chief Zhao came over to speak.
“It’s normal for couples to argue. Now that she’s made amends, don’t be too aloof. If she becomes harder to appease later, you’ll be in for a world of trouble,” said Village Chief Zhao with a smile.
Xia Yao smiled and then nodded.
But Zhao, the village chief, didn't see the bitterness in Xia Yao's smile.
Over the next two days, Xia Lanyue came to the official residence to look for Xia Yao many times during the day, but was refused entry each time.
She wanted to explain to Xia Yao, but she couldn't find him.
Xia Yao never went home; he just stayed at the inn.
Xia Lanyue did not give up. She was willing to give Xia Yao some time and wait until he was willing to listen to her.
However, what she didn't expect was that what awaited her was a result she didn't want to accept.
That evening, Xia Yao returned home reeking of alcohol.
Xia Lanyue was about to go to sleep when she saw him push open the door and stumble in.
Then, Xia Yao took a paper package out of his pocket and placed it on the table.
Xia Lanyue rarely saw Xia Yao drink like this, and she could tell that Xia Yao was also very hurt. Thinking that it was because of her, she felt somewhat guilty.
She silently walked to the table, a strong smell of alcohol hitting her nose and making Xia Lanyue take a half step back. After a moment, she looked at the paper package and asked, "What's this?"
"Here you go," Xia Yao said coldly.
Normally, she would be overjoyed, but today, she had a bad feeling.
She picked up the paper package, opened it, and saw that it contained several black pills.
Xia Lanyue looked at Xia Yao with confusion.
Xia Yao's eyes were already wet, her eyes were red, and she said in a slightly trembling voice, "This is an abortion pill."
Xia Lanyue was startled, and her hand trembled. The pills, along with the paper, rolled to the ground and scattered.
Xia Lanyue looked at Xia Yao with shock in her eyes, "Are you crazy!"
Xia Yao rushed over and grabbed Xia Lanyue's shoulders, "Just think I'm crazy, this child can't be kept."
"What nonsense are you spouting! It's your child!" Xia Lanyue roared.
Xia Yao couldn't hold back her tears, which streamed down her face.
Xia Lanyue felt helpless about Xia Yao's suspicions and couldn't help but cry.
Xia Yao pulled Xia Lanyue into his arms, holding her tightly so she couldn't break free.
Xia Yao's embrace was warm, but Xia Lanyue couldn't stop feeling cold. Xia Yao was holding her too tightly, and she felt like she was suffocating.
"Release," Xia Lanyue could no longer breathe deeply.
Xia Yao seemed not to hear, remaining motionless in that position.
Xia Lanyue struggled to get out of his arms, but it was all in vain. She dared not use too much force, because Doctor Zhang had told her that the fetus was unstable, and she was afraid of hurting the child.
After a long while, Xia Yao's voice came from above, "A Yue, listen to me, let's not keep this child, okay?"
Xia Lanyue's heart turned to ice instantly. Xia Yao's suspicion broke her heart once again. She knew whose child it was and couldn't bear to part with the child, so she firmly replied, "Impossible."
Xia Lanyue could clearly feel Xia Yao gripping her arm with increased force, making her wince. "Let go of me."
Xia Yao didn't let go, but continued, "I can have many children in the future, but this one is the only one I can't keep. As long as you give up this child, I promise I will still treat you the same as before, and we'll pretend that what happened with Dai You never happened, okay?"
Xia Lanyue struggled desperately to break free from Xia Yao's embrace, pounding her fists on Xia Yao's chest, "Why won't you believe me?"
"How can you expect me to believe you? He used to live in this house, right under my nose, right next to you. Given our relationship, why wouldn't he leave?! Tell me, why?! You still dare to say that you two are completely innocent?!" Xia Yao's emotions gradually became agitated, and his voice uncontrollably grew louder.
Xia Lanyue was terrified by Xia Yao's appearance and involuntarily stepped back.
“Dai You didn’t give up on me, but I only see him as an older brother. I have my own bottom line, and I have a clear conscience,” Xia Lanyue said, wiping away her tears.
"So you have a clear conscience? I was played like a fool by you all. You have a clear conscience?" Xia Yao's words were full of sarcasm.
Xia Lanyue realized she was in the wrong, lowered her head, and stopped talking.
Xia Yao let out a long sigh, her voice softening, "A Yue, I don't want to be separated from you, really, I love you, but this child is different, I can't love it."
Xia Lanyue shook her head firmly in refusal. Fear was in her eyes, but her heart was resolute. She was determined to keep this child. "But this is also your child. Don't you feel sorry for him? Just because of your ridiculous suspicion."
“You don’t understand that feeling. It’s like a thorn stuck in your heart. It hurts every time you think about it. Why don’t we remove it as soon as possible and not let it affect our future relationship?” Xia Yao looked at Xia Lanyue with expectant eyes, which even contained a pleading tone.
Xia Lanyue was helpless and anxious. "But I can't bear to. Xia Yao, please, don't do this, okay? It really is your child, believe me."
A mist gradually clouded Xia Yao's eyes, and he did not respond further.
Xia Lanyue knew that this was his silent rejection.
After a long silence, Xia Yao spoke, "Then you must choose between me and this child!"
Xia Lanyue thought Xia Yao would change his mind, but it seemed she had overestimated him. This man's ruthlessness far exceeded her imagination. Perhaps he had known all along, but simply refused to admit it. Her heart grew cold, but she still felt a pang of resentment. "Isn't there any other choice?"
“Let’s just say it came at the wrong time. I can’t accept it,” Xia Yao turned to Xia Lanyue. “Ayue, the choice is yours.”
Xia Lanyue lowered her eyes, no longer looking at Xia Yao's face. After hesitating for a long time, she said, "What if I really want it?"
Xia Yao took a deep breath, looked at Xia Lanyue's expression, and seeing her resolute expression, said, "Then let's end our relationship here."
Xia Lanyue let out a cold laugh; the thing she least wanted to see had happened.
Xia Yao explained, "I cannot allow any flaws in our relationship. If there are any, I would rather not have this relationship."
"I originally thought our relationship could withstand any storm, but it turns out it's ridiculously fragile. But it's better to see things clearly now, so as to avoid more pain in the future. Let's break up then," Xia Lanyue said stubbornly, finishing her last few words. She seemed to have been drained of all her strength.
"You can stay here for today. You can leave once you've found a place to live," Xia Yao said, and strode towards the door.
Xia Lanyue sat on the stool for a long, long time, unable to recover.
What she insisted on was not only the fate of the child, but also her loyalty to Xia Yao.
Unfortunately, Xia Yao did not experience that.
Now, she must be strong; they still have a long way to go.
