Youre at the peak of your career now, continue to work hard. Also, its time you quit drugs, lest something happens to you. Theres always been an abundance of famous actresses in the entertainment industry, most of whom possess superb acting skills. Look at those who have ruined their careers by abusing drugs or getting into car accidents none of them have managed to make a successful comeback. Weiwei, dont lead yourself onto a path towards death, Ye Xiaotian advised earnestly, which was rather rare of him. Perhaps it was because he had too much time on his hands.

Feeling a little touched, Sun Weiwei answered, Brother Xiaotian, I know where youre coming from. But I just cant quit it, Ive already become too reliant on it. Besides, Im becoming more and more addicted recently.

Go for rehab in secret, maybe? said Ye Xiaotian, staring at her with a look of pity in his eyes.

Im not going for rehab. Its not like I cant afford to continue doping anyway. Ill be fine, Sun Weiwei said nonchalantly.

Its not about the money, its that drugs are detrimental to your health.

Brother Xiaotian, youve made me who I am today, with the constant support youve been providing me with. Im really dependent and attached to you, and I want to stay by your side forever

Before she could finish her sentence, Ye Xiaotian interrupted coldly with a stiffened expression, Thats enough, I absolutely detest hearing mushy stuff like that. You should get going and head for work.

Taken aback by his words, Sun Weiwei got up slowly and said, Alright, have a good rest then, Brother Xiaotian. Ill visit you again when Im free.

Okay.

As soon as she left, Ye Xiaotian reached his hand out from beneath the blanket. The screen of his mobile phone lit up in his hands.

It was a notification about the latest news of Byron from Y Nation he was asked if he had any plans on having children with his newlywed wife recently, to which he had answered blatantly, saying that she was nourishing her body in preparation for a pregnancy.

Preparing for a pregnancy?

Was that the case?

Chi Ruier had stayed alone at home for two days.

Yet, she still had not come up with a solution.

There were only two ways out.

That is, to either abort the baby or to give birth to it.

Gu Beicheng came to her mind all of a sudden while she was washing up.

He mustve gotten together with me back then for the sake of spiting Jin Qingyan, who was his archenemy, she thought to herself.

Hah, how ironic

She quickly rinsed her face, put on some makeup, and gave Gu Beicheng a call, only to find that he had blocked her number.

Chi Ruier then got dressed and headed out.

The weather was marvellous that day. The sun was out and shining bright, which was rare to come by during wintertime.

Chi Ruier flagged down a taxi and headed straight to the office building of the Gu Corporation, where she requested to see Gu Beicheng at the front desk.

The receptionist then arranged for Chi Ruier to proceed upstairs upon the approval of Gu Beicheng.

Having expected to be rejected, Chi Ruier was surprised to hear that Gu Beicheng had allowed her to see him.

A million thoughts flooded her mind while she made her way towards his office.

Gu Beicheng was dressed in a black, casual suit, along with his trademark blue diamond earring.

He was holding a teacup in one hand while supporting his weight against the desk with another. Upon sight of Chi Ruier, he placed the teacup onto the desk and said calmly, What did you come here to see me for?

Youve blocked my number.

Of course I did. Am I supposed to keep it so I can continue to contact you?

Chi Ruier looked up at him. He was the person whom she fell head over heels in love with, the one whom she left Jin Qingyan for.

He often appeared cool and aloof on the surface, despite having a gentlemanly side, which not many have the privilege of seeing.

Gu Beicheng, Im pregnant.

Startled, he answered, Oh. Its pretty spot on.

Whats spot on? she asked inquisitively.

Ive asked Xiaoning to read your fortune, and her readings are rather accurate. She read that you would get pregnant within six months, so I decided I didnt want to see you anymore, because I know the child wouldnt be mine, for sure.

You broke up with me because you had my fortune told? she asked in astonishment.

Not entirely, but thats one of the reasons. Well, but I broke up with you mainly because youve had an abortion once, and youre going to be pregnant with another mans child. You dont deserve to be with me, Gu Beicheng explained nonchalantly, his words like a million daggers piercing through her heart.

How did you find out? You checked up on me? she asked as her lips trembled in fear and shock.

Havent you heard of the saying If you dont wish others to find out about what youve done, then dont do it in the first place? he said, brushing her off.

Did An Xiaoning predict that? she asked in disbelief of An Xiaonings accurate fortune-telling. An Xiaoning Chi Ruier wanted nothing more than to shred her into pieces at that very moment.

It doesnt matter whether she did or not. What matters is that youre indeed such a lowly woman.

Biting her lip in anger, Chi Ruier snapped, Gu Beicheng, stop giving me excuses, you just dont like me to begin with. You only asked me to be your girlfriend just so you could spite Jin Qingyan. If you truly loved a woman, youd never leave her, no matter how many abortions shes had.

Gu Beicheng did not try to deny and said instead, Id first have to find a woman like that. Are you here to discuss the standards I ought to follow when looking for a girlfriend in the future?

Of course not. Dont you want to know who the child Im carrying belongs to?

No, I dont.

Chi Ruier walked towards him and said, Ive been pregnant for more than a month now. Recalling the chronology of events, you broke up with me about a month ago. I believe the media will take my word for it, if I claimed that you fathered the child.

If you dare do that, Ill kill you, believe it or not. Try me, he warned coldly with a squint.

Gu Beicheng, dont try to threaten me, Im not afraid of you. Ive already prepared myself mentally before coming here to look you up. Im sure were both aware that the child obviously doesnt belong to you. Im just kidding, why so serious? she said with a smirk.

Youre just kidding? Dont joke with me again in the future. Otherwise, you shall face the consequences, regardless of whether youre kidding or not and of who the bastard child youre carrying belongs to. If this is all youre here for, you may get lost now, Gu Beicheng said, seething, unsure of what she had up her sleeve.

Chi Ruier stayed put and continued to speak, The child belongs to Jin Qingyan.

Is that so? Gu Beicheng asked, keeping his eyes fixed on her.

Yes.

Knowing that Jin Qingyan loved her, Gu Beicheng said, Shouldnt you go look for him instead? Why did you come to me?

An Xiaoning may be your Godsister, but I know youve never been on good terms with him. Why dont we help each other out?

Chi Ruier, are your brains fried? Do I look like I need your help?

Do you not? Just think about how badly it would reflect on his family, once news about me carrying his child begins to spread, Chi Ruier explained.

In that case, have you thought about the consequences youll face once the DNA test results are out and its verified that the child does not belong to him?

Chi Ruier felt a chill down her spine, but then again, how worse can things get, when shes already in such a sorry plight?

He is indeed the father of the child. I know this because he was the only person Ive had intercourse with. The child I aborted previously belonged to him as well, Chi Ruier said confidently without a single tinge of guilt, as if she was indeed speaking the truth.

I wont resort to such despicable means. Youve gone to the wrong person, Gu Beicheng answered apprehensively.
