Xia Weiyang raised her head and faced Shi Jue's fierce gaze. She was filled with stubbornness and continued to provoke him. "Fight me! If you dare, fight me now! Come on! Come on! Let's fight now! If you're really a man, then you would fight me. If you don't, that means you're a coward," she said as she pointed at her stomach.
Shi Jue was so angry that his entire body trembled. He raised his hand and glared at Xia Weiyang while gnashing his teeth in rage. After a brief moment, he exhaled heavily and began to calm down.
"Xia Weiyang, don't play tricks in front of me. Since the child is already in your stomach, you must give birth to it. Don't let me find out that you're considering getting an abortion or treating the child badly," Shi Jue said in a serious tone.
Xia Weiyang's heart froze. Those were her exact thoughts at that moment.
Her desire to give birth to the child in her body had changed and almost disappeared. She felt suffocated because of the terrible things she went through, which started with Lu Ziyin's betrayal.
Then, Shi Jue, who she thought was her savior, started to mistreat her. She was already on the verge of breaking down because of what was happening in her life.
Xia Weiyang's mind raced as she thought about her current situation. Would Shi Jue release her once she had given birth to his child?
Xia Weiyang knew that she could not stand up against Shi Jue.
The hopeless expression on Xia Weiyang's face irritated Shi Jue. He clenched his fists as he saw how helpless she felt.
"How could you let a man affect you like this? You look so helpless and pathetic. Listen to me, Xia Weiyang. You are a pregnant woman, and you are carrying my child. It is not healthy for a pregnant woman to be sad all the time. From now on, you should always think about the welfare of the child you're carrying," Shi Jue said.
Tears began to appear on Xia Weiyang's eyes. Even though she wanted to cry, she kept her tears from rolling down her cheeks by raising her head.
However, she could no longer hold back her tears. They started flowing uncontrollably from her eyes down to her fair and reddish cheeks.
Shi Jue frowned as he saw the tears trickle down Xia Weiyang's face.
As Shi Jue's gaze followed the motion of Xia Weiyang's tears, he began to notice her blushing cheeks, her moist lips, her long and graceful neck, and her slender collarbone. Seeing her physical features immediately changed Shi Jue's demeanor.
He cursed softly.
He tried to look away.
Since when did he become uncomfortable around women?
After a while, Xia Weiyang regained her composure. She wiped off her tears and went to the bathroom with a set of clean clothes. After getting dressed, she stepped out and asked Shi Jue, "Can I leave now?"
"Xia Weiyang, you still don't get it, do you? In order to protect my child, I will make all your decisions for you until you give birth. From now on, you will live in my house," Shi Jue said.
Mo Yi, who was waiting outside, saw how angry Shi Jue still was. Xia Weiyang, however, looked very different from the last time he saw her.
His young master Shi Jue was someone who was always loved by others. How could anyone make him this angry?
He was still so angry.
Aristocratic family.
The western suburbs of B City were bordered by a mountain to the north and a lake to the south. Within the city lies an elegant and massive mansion that looks like an ancient castle.
Xia Weiyang was in Shi Jue's car when she spotted his family's mansion from afar. Even though she was prepared to live in his house, she was still extremely shocked at how luxurious it was.
She was about to enter the world of the wealthy and powerful.
After a long car ride, Xia Weiyang and Shi Jue finally reached their destination. As soon as the car's door opened, a group of servants wearing the same uniform welcomed them. Leading the servants was a slightly older woman with a meticulously combed hairstyle.
"Young master, you're back," the woman said as she respectfully stood beside the car.
As Shi Jue stepped out of the car, he threw his coat at the woman. After walking a couple of steps, he stopped.
