Chapter 126: The Child
On the surface, Li Xiaoran was noble and elegant. Sometimes, he was cold, and other times, he was cute. On the other hand, Li Zecheng’s face was dark at all times, and he looked mature. When they stood together, Li Xiaoran looked like he needed to be protected.
However, no one expected the difference in strength between Li Xiaoran and Li Zecheng to be so great. Li Zecheng was not Li Xiaoran’s match at all.
“Enough, Li Zecheng. Are you done? Get lost.” Li Xiaoran’s aura was intimidating.
At this moment, a camera light flashed at Li Zecheng. Li Zecheng threatened Li Ping fiercely, “If you dare to report what happened today, I’ll make it impossible for you to survive in the capital.”
Li Xiaoran said, “Is there any use in threatening them? This matter was planned by Qiao An. Do you think you can stop Qiao An from taking revenge on you? Now you have committed another evil deed by threatenening the reporters.”
Li Zecheng was speechless.
Then, he questioned Li Xiaoran indignantly, “Li Xiaoran, whose side are you on?”
“I stand for justice.”
Li Xiaoran shook Li Zecheng off and Li Zecheng staggered. Wei Xin hurriedly went forward to support him.
Li Zecheng glared fiercely at Qiao An, his eyes filled with resentment. Then, he climbed into the car indignantly and drove away in the Maybach.
Li Xiaoran looked at Qiao An. The five clear finger marks on Qiao An’s face had yet to fade, but she seemed to not feel the pain. Her deep eyes flickered with a dark light.
At this moment, Qiao An was thinking about something. Li Zecheng had probably suspected that the child in her stomach was not his. Then it was time for her to cut off the relationship between the child and the Li family.
“An’an, let’s talk.”
Li Xiaoran’s gentle voice pulled Qiao An back. Qiao An looked at Li Xiaoran and deliberately kept a distance from him.
“Doctor Li, other than working, we should try not to interact in private.”
Li Xiaoran reacted quickly and immediately asked Qiao An out in the name of work. “Huo Zhou, one of the four young masters of the capital, wants to meet you alone before the interview.”
Qiao An couldn’t refuse this reason.
This was because most of the interviewees would communicate with the interviewer in advance so that there would not be any incidents during the interview.
When Li Ping and Ah Cui heard that Young Master Huo wanted to meet their chief editor, their eyes lit up.
“Chief Editor Qiao, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Don’t miss this opportunity. You have to know that the previous editor-in-chief spent a lot of effort to invite them.” Cui was extremely excited.
Qiao An nodded silently.
Li Xiaoran smiled in relief. “Then wait for me for a moment. I’ll get the car.”
Li Xiaoran arrived at the parking lot. A starry sky Phantom was dazzling among the many luxury cars. Li Xiaoran opened the car door and got in. A faint shy smile appeared on his handsome face.
He knew that Qiao An would interview him today, so he drove out after cleaning the dusty car in the garage.
After knowing that he and Qiao An had slept together, Li Xiaoran no longer wanted to worry about whether Qiao An liked the rich or poor. He only wanted to help Qiao An get a divorce and then love her properly.
When Li Xiaoran stopped the car near Qiao An and rolled down the window, Qiao An’s eyes were filled with mockery.
That’s right. It was sarcastic.
She teased Li Xiaoran, “Doctor Li, you’re hiding your strength. Does your father know that you’re so rich?”
Li Xiaoran reached out and knocked Qiao An on the head symbolically. “Get in.”
Qiao An sat in the back seat. Li Xiaoran begged, “Qiao An, sit in the front passenger seat and talk to me.”
Qiao An said uncomfortably, “A man’s passenger seat is reserved for his wife.”
Li Xiaoran turned off the engine and pushed open the car door. He came to the back door and said leisurely, “Qiao An, I don’t have a wife.”
Qiao An rolled her eyes at him and reminded him, “Did Dr. Li forget your assistant girlfriend?”
Li Zecheng said with a serious expression, “I broke up with her.”
Qiao An was shocked…
“Why did you break up?”
Li Xiaoran pulled her out and said, “Sit in the front passenger seat. I’ll tell you.”
Qiao An sat in the front passenger seat and looked at Li Xiaoran impatiently. Li Xiaoran started the engine and stepped on the accelerator.
On the way, Li Xiaoran’s expression was very solemn.
He opened her mouth several times, but hesitated.
After a long time, he said, “An’an, I’m sorry.”
Qiao An was stunned. “Why are you apologizing to me?”
Li Xiaoran looked at Qiao An with an extremely pious gaze. “An’an, I’m sorry! I never knew that the person I was with that night was you. You must be very afraid to face this matter alone for so long.”
He suddenly reached out to hold Qiao An’s slightly trembling hand. Feeling the coldness of Qiao An’s fingertips, Li Xiaoran suddenly stopped the car by the roadside. Then, he leaned over and hugged Qiao An tightly.
“That morning, when I opened my eyes, I saw Lu Mo. I mistook her for someone I slept with. You don’t know how desperate I was that day. In order to bear the mistake of being drunk, I forced myself to agree to be her boyfriend.”
“It wasn’t until a few days ago that the psychiatrist enlightened me. He said that since I had a mental disorder towards the opposite sex, I shouldn’t have touched other women after drinking. Only then did I know how big a mistake I had made. I actually mistook her for you.”
“An’an, I’m sorry. I really don’t want to hurt you. But I still did such a shameful thing. I don’t beg you to forgive me, but I hope you can give me a chance to make it up to you, okay?”
Qiao An pushed him away and said excitedly, “I’ve sealed this matter in my heart. I can’t open it for the rest of my life. Don’t mention it again.”
Li Xiaoran forced Qiao An to face him. “What about our child? An’an, what do you plan to do with it?”
Qiao An decided. “This child can’t be kept.”
Despair surged in Li Xiaoran’s eyes.
His hand that was holding Qiao An instantly turned as cold as ice. He trembled and said, “An’an, I want it.”
Qiao An said firmly, “I’m sorry.”
Li Xiaoran collapsed on the chair and murmured, “An’an, if I tell you that I’m willing to be the child’s only father, are you willing to give birth to him for me?”
The only father. Did he mean he wouldn’t marry and have children again?
Qiao An said, “Li Xiaoran, why do you have to do this?”
Li Xiaoran closed his eyes in despair and desperately closed the tears in his eyes. “Alright, I respect any decision you make.” His voice was extremely weak.
Qiao An saw that his face was very pale.
