Ming Yue took another sip of water and suppressed the discomfort in her stomach. The grievances she had accumulated over the past two months suddenly erupted. “Regarding what happened that night, whether you believe it or not, I didn’t know anything. As for the two of us getting married due to a series of circumstances and the Liu family helping me solve the problem of my grandmother’s surgery for me because of our marriage, I did take advantage of that. Now my grandmother is finally saved, but do you really think I’m doing all that well? I will be pregnant for 10 months, yet the child will belong to your Liu family the moment he’s born. How many times can I see him in the future?! You’ve always been sarcastic to me, I also feel aggrieved. The next day, I was sick and couldn’t get out of bed. Weren’t you still alive and kicking? Why didn’t you remember to buy me some contraceptive pills?

Liu Jingxing was stunned by her sudden questioning. After a long time, he said angrily, “You were f*cking burning like a piece of coal. Who would have thought that you could still get pregnant?”

Ming Yue was suddenly angry. She had had enough of his sarcastic remarks for the past two months. She was not a kitten or a puppy. Why did he have to say so many nasty words to scold her when he was angry? Wasn’t she the victim?

She picked up the warm water on the table and splashed it on the other party’s head. She was so angry that her face turned red. “You still have the cheek to criticize me? If it weren’t for you, would I have such a fever? You’re almost 30 years old. Have you never touched a woman? You were like a mad dog! You even bit me!”

That night, she was treated like a rag doll. She was tossed around by him and could not fight back. At this point, he still acted as though he was the only one who had suffered greatly. As if he was the only victim.

Liu Jingxing’s head, clothes, and even his face were covered in water droplets. He was in a very sorry state. In his twenty-nine years of life, no one had ever dared to treat him like this. His eyes darkened. Just as he was about to snap, the woman opposite him actually snapped before him and scolded him.

Especially the last sentence that she said, it made him feel a little awkward. He had indeed… never touched a woman. Instantly, he did not know how to refute her.

He was still a little surprised and puzzled. When did this woman, Ming Yue, become so sharp-tongued? Now, she was acting so self-righteous and scolding him. So he had become the bad person? Women were unreasonable creatures! How annoying!

His face darkened, and his tone was unhappy. “Why did you hit me?! In the future… don’t lead the child astray!”

“It’s been two months! Who asked you to mock and ridicule me these past two months? If you want me to get along well with you, don’t provoke me. For the next nine months, let’s each mind our own business and live our own lives. After the child is born, I’ll be relieved if you treat him well.” Ming Yue lowered her head and touched her stomach. Her stomach was still flat and wasn’t showing. It was hard to imagine that a small life was already living there.

Ever since her grandmother was hospitalized, she seemed to have fallen into a nightmare that she could not break free from. She tried her best to motivate herself and not let herself get into a dead end. However, sometimes, she would still feel aggrieved and even more baffled. How did her life suddenly become like this?

She was destined to owe this child something. Fortunately, the Liu family had a big business, so the baby shouldn’t have a hard time.

“You… Why are you crying?!” Liu Jingxing’s eyebrows were tightly knitted together as he looked at the woman opposite him whose eyes suddenly turned red and began to cry.

He only felt that it was noisy. He hated it the most when others only cared about crying when something happened. Could crying solve any problem? If it could, he was willing to cry with them. It was so troublesome and fussy.

After scolding him and splashing him with water, she even cried. How could she still have the face to cry? He got up and took a few tissues from the tissue box on the other side of the dining table to wipe his head and body. Suddenly, he felt a little hungry.

He took the chopsticks beside him and picked up a few pieces of noodles before putting them into his mouth. The taste was not bad, so without realizing it, he ate the entire bowl of noodles. His expression was gloomy as he stood up and walked to the kitchen. He took a clean cup and poured a glass of warm water before handing it to Ming Yue. “Don’t cry. Aren’t you tired from crying? Even if you’re not tired, I’m tired.”

Ming Yue let out a cry. “I’m a living person, not your Liu family’s birthing machine. Can’t I cry when I’m in a bad mood? Do you have a conscience?”
