Ruixiang, step aside, Zhongyu Liuying said, glaring at Huangfu Ruixiang, who was protecting Li Yiran. Is the trouble caused by her not enough for you today? And now youre still protecting her. Do you even realize what youve lost today because of her?

Although Nangong Zilin didnt explicitly state it, her implication was clear. The likelihood between her and Huangfu Ruixiang was diminis.h.i.+ng.

The frustration of losing such an excellent match left Zhongyu Liuying feeling stifled. The main culprit behind all this was Li Yiran, yet her own son insisted on protecting her.

Mom, Yiran didnt do it on purpose, Huangfu Ruixiang furrowed his brows,

defending Li Yiran. Besides, shes carrying my child now. You should consider the bigger picture. Just for the sake of your future grandson, you shouldnt treat her like this!

Abort it, Huangfu Jingzhangs cold voice interrupted. Youre not married yet. If this child is born, what girl of equal status would consider you?

Li Yiran raised her head abruptly, fear and panic evident in her eyes. She had hoped that, with Huangfu Ruixiangs child in her womb, Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying would show her some consideration. Unexpectedly, Huangfu Jingzhang wanted her to terminate the pregnancy.

Despite the recovery from the medicine provided by Ye Lengan, she still feared the potential impact on her health. Thoughts of a future where she might not conceive again troubled her.

In desperation, she reached out and tightly grasped Huangfu Ruixiangs clothes, silently praying for his protection.

Dad, this is my child, Huangfu Ruixiang protested. How can you make such a decision?

Exactly! Honey, Zhongyu Liuying added, a hint of reluctance on her face. This is our grandson!

Although she hated Li Yiran, her biological grandson resided in Li Yiran!s belly, and it was Ruixiangs first child. Despite her disdain for Li Yiran, she had never entertained the idea of forcing her to abort the child.

If we dont abort it, do we let it be born and stain Ruixiangs life? Huangfu Jingzhang continued ruthlessly. With this child, can Ruixiang still have a good marriage?

Silence enveloped the room as both Zhongyu Liuying and Huangfu Ruixiang pondered.

Li Yiran grew anxious, feeling a sense of helplessness. She didnt entirely trust Huangfu Ruixiang.

Unintentionally, Li Yirans gaze landed on Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Lengan.

A glint of hope flashed in her eyes as she turned around, kneeling before Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Lengan. Crying, she pleaded, Patriarch, please help me. This is also the flesh and blood of your Huangfu family!

At this critical moment, she dared not call him Big Brother Huangfu and instead addressed him with the respectful term Patriarch. All her fate seemed to hinge on Huangfu Ruilings decision. If he chose to let her keep the child, even Huangfu Jingzhang would be powerless.

n.o.body antic.i.p.ated Li Yirans unexpected move. Even Ye Lengan was momentarily bewildered, transitioning from a spectator to an actor. Such a dramatic s.h.i.+ft left her almost unable to react.

Huangfu Ruiling, indifferent to Li Yiran, watched her kneeling in front of him. His expression remained unchanged, devoid of any warmth or recognition.

Li Yiran persisted in her pleas, uncertain of their effectiveness but desperate to try. Furthermore, Ye Lengan was present, and this child was conceived through the pills provided by her.

While uncertain of Ye Lengan!s motives, she hoped he might a.s.sist her.

Yiran, get up first, Huangfu Ruixiang said, approaching her, ready to pull her up. What are you doing?

Displeasure laced his tone; Li Yiran had sought help from Huangfu Ruiling without waiting for his input. It seemed she didnt regard him, the father of the child, highly. Was she portraying him as the heartless murderer of their child?

Sensing Huangfu Ruixiangs displeasure, Li Yiran realized her misstep. However, with no alternative, she might be sent away if she couldnt keep the child.

After todays events, Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying would likely no longer tolerate her presence by Huangfu Ruixiangs side.

Brother Ruixiang, I want to keep this child, Li Yiran said, her eyes filled with tears. Ill do anything you want, but please, let me keep this child!

Huangfu Ruixiang remained silent. No one knew what he was contemplating.

Ye Lengan turned to Huangfu Ruiling, intrigued by how he intended to handle the situation. Would he intervene, or would he remain indifferent?

Ruixiang, whats your decision? Huangfu Ruiling finally spoke. Do you want this child or not?

This child must not be kept, Huangfu Jingzhang interjected before Huangfu Ruixiang could respond.

Huangfu Ruiling glared coldly at Huangfu Jingzhang before turning to

Huangfu Ruixiang. Im asking you. Do you want this child or not?

After an internal struggle, Huangfu Ruixiang gritted his teeth and confessed, Big Brother, I want to keep this child.

He lowered his head, avoiding Huangfu Jingzhangs murderous gaze.

Li Yiran, still kneeling, breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. At least Huangfu Ruixiang still possessed some conscience and was willing to keep the child. Otherwise, she truly didnt know what she would do..
