Eleven thought she must have misheard and opened her eyes wider to look at him: "What do you mean... a child?"
Eleven was a bit stupefied, not knowing what to do.
While she was unconscious, he had been thinking about this issue for a long time.
What Little Snow just said might not necessarily be false. Thereās a high possibility... but he believed that Thousand was driven by lifeās circumstances; she was not a person who disrespected herself.
Shang Jingyang gently stroked her head, looking at her softly: "Itās alright. I just want to know who has bullied you and how youāve lived your life before I found you."
Who else could it be...
Eleven knew very clearly and was certain that the child could only be Gu Lianchengās.
But...
Elevenās other hand gently moved in a circular motion on her abdomen.
This childās arrival was...
So untimely.
They had been very cautious about contraception over the past four years. Who could predict that it would happen now? The child must have been conceived the night they returned from Nagoya.
Life was cruelly ironic. It seemed that when you feared something, it was more likely to occur.
But how could she be pregnant under these circumstances?
Shang Jingyang misread Elevenās expression and quickly comforted: "Alright, if you donāt wish to talk about it, donāt. I donāt care who the father is; it doesnāt bother me. As long as we get married immediately, no one will question the birth of this child. If you and I keep quiet, the child will never learn the truth. Iāll arrange a perfect wedding for you immediately. Thousand, marry me, alright? I wonāt let anyone bully you anymore, whether itās father or Little Snow. Iāll protect you."
Listening to Shang Jingyangās words, Eleven just couldnāt nod her head in agreement.
She looked at him and finally shook her head: "Brother... I donāt want to marry you, you are my brother."
"Stop messing around," he touched her nose just as he used to do, "We are not related by blood, let people say whatever they want."
Shang Jingyang was always short-tempered, but he treated Qianxun, the maidās daughter, differently.
"No, I just canāt marry you. I heard everything last time in the restroom. You and Qin Siwen are already picking a date. I donāt want to be the third party in your relationship."
"You were never the third party!" Shang Jingyang said impatiently, "Thousand, donāt you understand yet? You have always been in my heart. Iām sorry about Siwen. I donāt like her and she knows it. I may have agreed to it for the sake of bearing children if I didnāt find you but itās different now. I have found you."
Eleven seemed to understand why Shang Meng wanted to eradicate him back then.
He understood his son more than anyone else. He was a child back then, but the actions he took would have been even more impulsive.
If she hadnāt left the Shang family back then, it would have caused a huge turmoil with no peace left.
She should never have come to the Shang family, not in the past, not now, not ever in the future.
"I donāt want to talk about this anymore... I want some hot milk."
"Alright, letās not talk about these things now. Take care of your health first. Iāll go and get your hot milk. Just stay in bed and rest."
Shang Jingyang didnāt understand her, and he left to buy milk for her.
But this was when Eleven got up, pulled the drip needle off her hand, changed back into her own clothes, and prepared to leave.
She looked up and saw a man standing at the door, "Qianxun... why did you have to show up."
