Chapter 415: What I’m Most Afraid Of

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Lu Haiying listened to Qin Dandan’s words and numbly nodded.

“Aren’t you going to give him a call?” Qin Dandan asked again. She could tell that Lu Haiying definitely loved that man deep down. She also remembered the story about how they would name their child.

Lu Haiying did not fall in love with the wrong person. This person was still waiting for her.

However, Lu Haiying shook her head and pursed her lips. How was she going to call him? What should she say? She had already given birth to someone else’s child. She knew very well that she was no longer worthy of him, so she should impede his life.

The only thing Lu Haiying could do now was to stay away from his life. She shouldn’t stop him from starting over.

Lu Haiying thought that Gu Xuao would gradually let go in a few more years. No one could keep someone in their heart forever.

Qin Dandan looked ahead and sighed lightly, but she didn’t say anything else. After all, this was someone else’s private matter. She shouldn’t interfere. She could only hope that the heavens would grant this pair of lovers less suffering.

…..

Lu Haiying took a while to recover before taking out a tissue from her pocket. After wiping the wet phone dry, she handed it to Huo Yijia.

“You can use it.”

Huo Yijia looked at Qin Dandan’s reddened eyes. Instead of taking the phone, she asked, “Sister Haiying, do you regret it?”

Lu Haiying nodded. How could she not regret it? However, she could only blame herself for not having the courage and boldness of Qin Dandan back then!

If only Lu Haiying could be like Qin Dandan upon finding out she was pregnant…

If only she could be ruthless enough to get rid of the child…

At least, Lu Haiying wouldn’t have to hide away!

Lu Haiying smiled bitterly. “But it’s useless for me to regret now. Even so, that’s not the case for you. You still have a chance to decide. Think about it.” As she spoke, Lu Haiying stuffed the phone into Huo Yijia’s hand and sat down on the other side with Chang’an in her arms. She just wanted to be alone this time.

Chang’an was also a kind child. The moment he sensed his mother’s condition, he obediently held her arms and did not dare to move.

The phone that was stuffed into Huo Yijia’s arms was like a hot potato. She wanted to call home too, but she was really too afraid. She was terrified that she might face her parents’ disdain and curses, rather than their concern!

Huo Yijia still remembered something from her youth. One aunty from her neighbors was accused of being immoral and unchaste because she spoke too much to a tofu seller! When this matter reached her husband’s ears, he filed for a divorce.

In order to prove her innocence, the aunty actually hanged herself at the gate! And that husband quickly remarried another…

Everyone said that the aunty deserved it. If a married woman flirted with another man, she deserved to die!

Huo Yijia still recalled that not long after that incident, her parents emphasized the significance of chastity. It should be the most important thing for a woman. If she didn’t have it, she might as well die untouched.

Huo Yijia slowly keyed in her mother’s phone number. Her fingers were trembling, and her tremors were different from others. She was worried that her parents would say, “Why don’t you go and die?”

Qin Dandan sat next to Huo Yijia and watched her reaction silently. She thought that once she met her parents, she would have to tactfully share her experience with them. Otherwise, her parents would definitely not be able to take it.

After making up her mind, Qin Dandan felt as if her strength had been sucked out of her. She leaned back on the sofa and closed her eyes. She was preparing to sleep for a while. However, at this moment, she heard Huo Yijia say, “I have decided. 1 don’t want this child anymore.”

Qin Dandan, who was about to close her eyes, immediately opened them when she heard the other woman. She looked at Huo Yijia and said, “Have you really decided?”

“Yes!” Huo Yijia nodded. She looked at her belly and then at her phone. Her voice was firm. “You and Sister Haiying were right. 1 can’t guarantee this child’s future life, nor can 1 guarantee that my family will approve of him. 1 can’t bear the trouble this child wall bring to my life in the future… Therefore, 1 can’t afford to pay the price of giving birth to him.”

That aunty merely talked to a stranger, but in the end, she had to endure so much. In comparison, Huo Yijia was already like this.

If Huo Yijia had to take care of another child, then…

Huo Yijia’s relationship with her parents had always been bland, and she was not someone who could be responsible. She could not be burdened anymore.

Qin Dandan heard her words and knew7 that Huo Yijia had really thought it through this time. She smiled in relief.

“You should remember that you’re still very young. You still have unlimited possibilities in your life, especially with your calm and steady personality. In the future, you’ll be highly suitable to take the civil service exam or work as a civilian in a state-owned enterprise. Someday, you will meet many, many people..”
