Xiang Xiaochuang was sitting in front of his desk, with one hand on his stomach and dense beads of sweat on his forehead.
Du Jiawen couldn't care anymore, and rushed in with a few strides, half-kneeling and holding her hand: "Xiaochuang, what's wrong? Is it a stomachache? Don't scare me!"
Xiang Xiaochuang looked at him with a confused look, as if he was just looking at a stranger, which made his heart beat hard.
"I'll take you to the hospital..." Du Jiawen's voice was even more condescending. At this moment, he became a child who had done something wrong. He couldn't even straighten his back in front of Xiang Xiaochuang's window.
"No need, I just went there." Xiang Xiaochuang laughed softly, and a smile line appeared lightly on his lips. But that smile was no longer like a normal smile, it was alienated, and it actually wanted to break his heart.
I would be willing to leave a bloody hole.
"Do you have a stomachache?" Du Jiawen asked worriedly.
Xiang Xiaochuang smiled bitterly: "It's not very painful. Maybe just now...it was really nothing."
The real pain should be on the left side of the chest!
"The pain must be severe, the sweat on your forehead is already..."
"Miss Xiang, let's go to dinner together!" Liu Dong barged in casually, but fell silent because he saw the ambiguous postures of Du Jiawen and Xiang Xiaochuang. His face suddenly became embarrassed, and he was in a dilemma.
"Liu Dong, you go and eat first." Xiang Xiaochuang looked at her frankly, with a momentary look of embarrassment in his eyes that was not caught by the careless Liu Dong.
She hurriedly exited Xiang Xiaochuang's office, tapping her head as she walked, muttering: "You're so rash!"
Xiang Xiaochuang heard vaguely, and felt angry and funny. The loneliness on his face softened again.
Du Jiawen breathed a sigh of relief: "Xiao Chuang, let me take you to have porridge."
"No need, those porridges take too much effort. Let's have a simple meal nearby. I haven't prepared all the information for the afternoon meeting, and some data need to be recalculated."
Xiang Xiaochuang's rejection sounded reasonable, but Du Jiawen felt that something was different between them.
Du Jiawen sighed dejectedly. He didn't want to go against her wishes at this time. If he had any questions, he might have to go home before he could communicate properly.
Xiang Xiaochuang remained unusually silent throughout the afternoon. She only answered Du Jiawen's question with a single syllable.
"Xiaochuang!" Du Jiawen suddenly shouted urgently, and without waiting for her to agree, he took the black pepper beef tenderloin from her dinner plate and put it into his rice bowl.
Xiang Xiaochuang looked at it blankly, and then he explained calmly: "This beef tenderloin is a bit spicy, I will order another dish for you."
"No, that's enough." Xiang Xiaochuang quickly stopped him, "There are three more dishes left. I can't eat them anyway, so there's no need to add more."
She buried her head and continued to eat, but she actually didn't know the taste. She didn't even notice that the piece of beef tenderloin she just put into her mouth had the spicy taste of black pepper.
"That's okay, you don't have enough nutrition." Du Jiawen stubbornly asked the restaurant foreman to add a steamed egg.
"Just now... was it a stomachache?" Du Jiawen asked worriedly, suddenly slapping his head, "It's my fault. I originally wanted to have breakfast with you after the test is done, no wonder you..."
He looked annoyed, as if he really felt that he had made a huge mistake.
Xiang Xiaochuang's chopsticks were frozen, and he explained in a low voice after a long while: "Once in a while, it doesn't matter. Besides, I... couldn't eat it at that time."
Her many worries were all because she couldn't express her attitude. Du Jiawen looked at her calm face with embarrassment, suddenly leaned over and held her hand holding the dinner plate.
"Xiaochuang, let's give birth to him!"
Xiang Xiaochuang's hand was soft but cold, with a chill that penetrated his bones, which surprised him.
"After giving birth..." Xiang Xiaochuang repeated dully, "Then, let him become an illegitimate child? No, it won't happen, I don't want to..."
"No, after he is born, I will adopt him and still let him bear my surname." Du Jiawen said eagerly, "I have thought about it many times, but I am afraid that you will disagree."
Xiang Xiaochuang shook his head slowly: "I really don't agree. If I give birth to a child, this child doesn't have to bear your surname. I can do it alone..."
Is this already his maximum concession? However, this result is not something he is surprised by.
Her life has been ruined by him. Could it be that even her child is destined to...can giving him a surname make his life complete?
I don’t know what kind of woman his future wife will be. If she can’t tolerate her children, how can she bear it?
If she gave birth to him, she would be responsible for him and would never use the excuse "for his own good" to push him away from her.
"No, if you don't want to adopt me, I can do it." She raised her chin slightly and seemed to be calm. However, the soft lines of her jaw showed a bit of stubbornness because of this posture.
Du Jiawen said anxiously: "Xiaochuang, I just..."
"I understand, you just want to have a perfect plan." Xiang Xiaochuang's lips curled up in a slight arc, with a hint of sarcasm, "I think you also know that no mother would be willing to be separated from her own flesh and blood.
Your so-called 'method' is at the cost of tearing apart the flesh and blood of your closest relatives, so it would be better to...get rid of him..."
She spoke very calmly, except for the slight vibrato at the end of her words, which betrayed her innermost feelings. She really seemed to be talking about the romance of others.
"Xiaochang!" He called out in a low voice, but there was nothing he could do.
"I will handle it well and won't embarrass you." Xiang Xiaochuang put down his chopsticks and wiped the corners of his lips with a napkin, "My identity has been known from the beginning, and I will not cry, make trouble, or hang myself with you.
of."
After talking about it, her curve that had just collapsed slightly turned up again.
"I just..." Du Jiawen reached out and held her hand that had just put down the napkin, "Xiaochuang, don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation. I know you are unwilling to take away the child, I...I
I won’t deny him!”
Even though Xiang Xiaochuang was filled with sorrow, he couldn't help laughing when he heard his words: "You..."
He was just like a big kid, stubbornly making his promise.
Sighing, Xiang Xiaochuang stood up first: "Let's talk about it later. Let's go back to the company first and sort out the afternoon meeting materials. If we miss the official business, it is my fault as an assistant."
