The two of them ate in silence without saying a word.
The atmosphere was very tense and oppressive, making it hard to breathe.
Halfway through the meal, she finally spoke first, breaking the silence, "If the fever is gone, you can leave. I only have one bed here, so I can't keep you here."
Fu Yichen looked up at her deeply, his eyes complicated. She felt a little uncomfortable being looked at, so she lowered her head and continued eating, trying her best to pretend that nothing had happened.
"Weiyang." He suddenly called her name.
Chi Weiyang's hand holding the chopsticks tightened a little. This man could always easily disturb her heart. Just calling her name like this, her heart was lifted up.
"If..." Fu Yichen put down his chopsticks, slowly, as if he was considering it seriously, and then he spoke, tentatively asking: "If I divorce her... will you still be willing to be with me?"
Her hands were shaking.
He lowered his head, his lips trembling.
In addition to the heartache, there seems to be more disappointment.
In his impression, Fu Yichen was the cheerful, sunny and responsible boy, but now...
"Why do you think that as long as you are single again, I will be with you?" She took a deep breath, calmed down, and put down her chopsticks heavily. Holding back the bitterness and sadness in her heart, she raised her head, looked at him level, and said something aggressive, "Do you really think that I, Chi Weiyang, must be with you, Fu Yichen? You are a man who has been married for a second time, why should I want you?"
There was still a baby crying for food, and he said the word "divorce". Chi Weiyang didn't feel happy when she heard it. The man in her impression was not such an irresponsible man!
He was not surprised to hear such words from her. She had always been stubborn and had a hot temper. To want a married man, and one who was... was indeed unfair to her.
only…
Hearing her say it herself, my heart still ached.
The food I just ate now remains between my lips and teeth, and only bitterness remains.
"Since you've come here and know that the baby in my belly is yours, let's have a serious talk." Chi Weiyang said. She tried her best to stay calm, "First, I don't love you anymore..."
She had rehearsed these words in her mind countless times and thought she could say them easily. However, when she said them, her voice was so light that it seemed to float in the air.
As he finished speaking, it felt like something very important was brutally peeled off from his chest by a large hand, leaving blood all over.
Fu Yichen was also shocked.
The eye sockets were red.
"Secondly, whether it's from your current marriage or your disappearance from my world without any warning, you are an absolute bastard! How can a man like this be worthy of me and my children to entrust our lives to?"
Fu Yichen pressed his fist on the table tightly. After a long while, he opened his mouth with difficulty, "Things may not be what they seem on the surface."
"Yes, at first I didn't want to believe that you really disappeared without a trace, without even a word left." Chi Weiyang tried very hard to force a smile, but that smile was so far-fetched that it was uglier than crying. "I also want to hear your explanation~ We haven't talked about this issue before, let's talk about it now."
She looked at him, "Tell me, why did you suddenly disappear before? What was the superficial reason, and what was the real reason? In all these years, what other experiences have you had besides being a doctor? Even if you disappeared suddenly, if you really wanted to find me, you would have many, many ways to find me again and reappear in front of me. Why didn't you do anything? If we hadn't met in the Presidential Palace at that time, would it be... would you never appear in front of me in this life?"
She asked a series of questions, her breath became increasingly unstable, and her tone became increasingly serious. However, each of these questions was a question that had been lingering in her heart for many years.
Fu Yichen's breathing became heavier.
I just felt a headache. It hurt like it was about to split open. He frowned tightly, suppressing the pain in his heart, and finally said, "I can't give you the answers to these questions."
My heart is chilled.
She looked at him ridiculously, "So what can you give me?"
"My marriage to her is a contractual marriage and can be terminated at any time. There is no love between us."
"Contract marriage? Then tell me, what kind of contract do you have? Why do you want to enter into such a contract?"
"..." Fu Yichen did not answer, but said: "Weiyang, believe me, I don't want to lose you, and I don't want to lose our child!"
Across a table, Chi Weiyang stared at him in shock. She no longer expected him to give her an answer, but she discovered that... time can really change everything...
This man, the one she once knew best, now, she can no longer see through him at all.
In all these years without her involvement, he had many, many secrets. He could share them with another woman, but he could never mention them in front of her.
Lost.
My heart sank again and again.
"Let's get back to the point." She seemed tired, and her voice was filled with exhaustion. "I just mentioned two points. Now, I'll talk about the third point..."
"You came to me for the sake of your child. I know you want to take on some of the responsibilities of a 'father' to make you feel better."
Fu Yichen frowned, "You know very well, I..."
"I can give you visitation rights!" Chi Weiyang interrupted him abruptly. As if she had made a great decision, she said solemnly: "Every month, you and I will each pay half of the child's living expenses. When the child is born, you can visit him at any time! Of course, I will never let your wife know about this. If one day your wife finds out and does not allow you to give the child living expenses, I will never make it difficult for you."
"Chi Weiyang!" Fu Yichen stood up suddenly, his eyes dark red, staring at her solemnly and sadly.
Her generosity and frankness drove him crazy.
"You don't have to get mad. You were able to leave quietly before, and now I have the right to reject you again and again. And..."
She slowly raised her head and met his eyes.
He stood and she sat.
"This is my last concession. If you don't agree and think that I have a child, I must continue this ambiguous relationship with you. Then..." She took a deep breath and covered her belly with her hands under the table. "I will pick a time to get rid of this wrong child!"
