Chapter 445: We’ll Do as the Agreement Says
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Don’t overthink it. You haven’t gotten pregnant,” Long Sijue said and wanted to kiss her.
Su Qianxun immediately turned her face away to avoid his kiss. Her voice sounded determined. “Can I meet the child in secret?”
Long Sijue did not answer.
“Can I?” Su Qianxun asked again. She refused to give up.
“We’ll do as the agreement says.”
His cold and emotionless words made Su Qianxun’s heart sink. She remembered the clause in the agreement very clearly. According to the agreement, after she gave birth to the child, her relationship with Long Sijue would end, and she was not allowed to see the child.
Su Qianxun shoved him away. She got up and sat down in a corner. She was in a daze at that moment. She merely stared blankly at the view outside the window. She used to assume that she would not care about the child. She wanted so badly to give birth to the baby and leave. She did not even consider what would happen to the child after that…
Perhaps it was the fairest punishment for her. A while ago, all she wanted was to regain her freedom even if it meant abandoning the baby right after he or she was born. Now, even though she had changed her mind, she would never get to see her child.
The moment the baby’s life began, their relationship would end. She would part with her child and become a stranger to him or her for the rest of their lives…
Long Sijue sensed the air of sadness around the young woman and felt rather frustrated. He took out a cigarette and lit it. The smell of nicotine made him feel slightly better.
The car finally arrived at Jin Garden. Neither of them had spoken a word. Before the car stopped completely, Su Qianxun had already opened the door and hopped out of the vehicle. She could not bear the tense and suffocating atmosphere in the car.
Long Sijue extinguished his cigarette. He merely stared at the young woman as she left. Eventually, he got out of the vehicle without a word and went into the mansion.
Su Qianxun went to the kennel. When she entered the room, Storm was bullying Long Xiaoxun. It was obviously Long Xiaoxun like a ball, pushing the puppy around with its paw. Long Xiaoxun had a piteous, desperate look in its face. When it spotted Su Qianxun, it immediately started crying and whining.
When Storm saw Su Qianxun, it immediately withdrew its paw. It raised its head and glanced around as if pretending that it had not done anything wrong.
“Storm, do not bully Long Xiaoxun. You guys are friends. You’re supposed to help each other!” Su Qianxun walked over and patted Storm in the head. She then lifted Long Xiaoxun in her arms and sat down in a corner.
Seeing that, Storm immediately trotted towards her keenly and lay down next to her. It nudged her with its huge head every now and then. It seemed like it wanted Su Qianxun to pet it.
Su Qianxun put Long Xiaoxun on her lap. She rubbed its belly with one hand and pet Storm in the head with another. Both the large dog and puppy narrowed their eyes with pleased looks on their faces.
After Long Sijue returned to the study room, he planned to deal with some of the paperwork from the company. Instead, he sat in front of the desk for half an hour and did nothing. The computer screen before him had already dimmed. He was eventually jolted awake by the footsteps outside the door. He glanced at the watch on his wrist and realized that half an hour had already passed.
He still felt rather frustrated. He picked up a cigarette from the desk, lit it and started smoking. After he was done, he stood up and left the study room.
When Long Sijue went to the kennel, he pushed open the door and saw Su Qianxun leaning against Storm. She had already fallen asleep. Long Xiaoxun was also asleep, lying on its belly atop her lap.
Storm had already woken up. It did not dare to move, for it was worried that it would wake up the young woman who was leaning against it. It merely rolled its eyes.
Long Sijue walked over to Su Qianxun and stood before her. He gazed at the teardrops hanging from the young woman’s long eyelashes and felt as though a sharp blade had pierced his heart. He took the puppy off Su Qianxun’s lap and held her carefully in his arms. Then, he carried her and left the kennel.
