Chapter 173 The Stronger the Child, the Weaker Your Life Breath
"To be honest, I have been investigating these years." Chong Yao said lazily, "But the more I investigate, the more complicated it becomes. There are more mysteries behind it."
"Do you know why I founded Qingyun Club? Because it has a network of information from all over the world, but even so, I still can't solve the mystery."
"And why did the body of his wife Zhou Yueqiqi appear in Country M?"
Chongyao cast his eyes on Shen Xiaxia's belly: "You are still pregnant."
Shen Xia Xia spread her hands: "It was too late when you warned me."
Chongyao dug his nails into his flesh, his eyes dark and red: "Do you know how many forces are out there watching you, my child?"
"I know, but the child is already here, so I must do my best to protect him. You and I were both abandoned by our original families, so we should understand this feeling best. I can't give up my child."
"Humph!" Chong Yao snorted coldly: "You are too naive. Do you really think that you are just protecting the child?"
Shen Xia Xia's heart trembled slightly. Her pregnancy symptoms were indeed different from those of many pregnant women. Her intuition told her that they were abnormal, but every time she had a prenatal check-up, the doctor said she was very healthy and doing very well.
But she knows her own body. She eats more than the average pregnant woman, and her energy is consumed quickly. She often feels sleepy and uncomfortable.
Although all pregnant women will have these reactions, hers are indeed much more serious than usual.
She lied about one thing.
Every time she saw those bloody scenes, her body had an inexplicable desire for blood.
She used symptoms of vomiting and nausea to hide her desires, not wanting others to think she was an alien.
Chong Yao glanced at Shen Xia Xia's expression and said, "Looking at you like this, you should realize that you are different from other pregnant women."
"Why is this happening?" Shen Xia Xia spoke slowly.
"The child you and Lu Jingchen have is destined to be no ordinary child, and your body is different from that of an ordinary person."
Shen Xiaxia frowned: "Why is it different?"
"Do you really think it was Shen Minghan and the others who sent you to the Daoist Temple?" Chongyao crossed his arms and said, "Master Jun only accepted two disciples in his life, one is you and the other is me."
"Do you think those two idiots would be so generous as to ask the master to accept you?"
Shen Xia Xia felt a chill on her back and her fingers trembled slightly. Could it be that even her going to the Da Dao Temple to practice was destined from the beginning?
It's not that she hadn't thought about it. Master Jun was a hermit who regarded fame, wealth and money as dirt throughout his life and only made friends with people with whom he had a connection.
There was no way he would accept Shen Minghan and Zhong Caiyun, people of the street, since they were not worthy of his attention.
"Why is that?" Shen Xia Xia asked.
I don’t know the details, but what I know is that someone had asked Master Jun for help in advance, and this person was someone Master Jun couldn’t refuse, so when the Shen family wanted to get rid of you later, Master Jun took the initiative to ask for you.
A wave of fatigue came over me.
Why does everyone have secrets? Why can't people be simpler? Even her going to the Da Dao Temple to practice was part of her plan.
Who is behind this?
Chong Yao continued, "The older your child is, the more of your own energy, spiritual power, and blood will be absorbed. To put it bluntly, the bigger and healthier the fetus is, the weaker the mother will be. I dare not imagine what you will become by then. You can say that you are risking your life to give birth to this child."
"Yes, you, Shen Xia Xia, are awesome, your mystical arts are top-notch, and you are afraid of ghosts, but if you die, what can you use to protect your child? What's the difference between giving birth to a child but not raising it and those parents who abandon their children?"
These words touched Shen Xia Xia's nerves.
She was a child who grew up without the love of her parents. Zhong Caiyun was enough to make her suffer, not to mention that her child had been targeted from the very beginning.
This was the first time Shen Xia Xia hesitated whether to bring this child into the world.
......
Shen Xia Xia returned to the Lu family, feeling very worried.
What happened recently made her feel very confused.
Especially when it comes to children, she is worried about the children. How could she have the heart to take away this life?
The baby is already four months old and is very energetic. He seems very happy and moves around in her belly every day.
It’s hard to imagine how lively they were when they were seven or eight months old.
Chongyao was right. The healthier and more lively the child was, the worse her mental and physical condition was.
Having not done anything today, Shen Xia Xia felt extremely exhausted. She was tired, sleepy, and in low spirits.
After dinner, Shen Xia Xia lay lazily on the sofa, thinking about what to do next.
Lu Jingchen brought over a bowl of bird's nest and white fungus soup and some of Shen Xiaxia's favorite snacks.
Shen Xia Xia, who was always hungry like a wolf, didn't want to eat anymore after taking a few bites.
Lu Jingchen's Adam's apple rolled, his jawline tightened, and his bony fingers tightened, as if he had made a very important decision.
"Xia Xia, let's not have the child anymore."
I heard Lu Jingchen say he wanted to give up the child.
Shen Xia Xia felt like there was something stuck in her throat, as if a pair of large hands were tightly strangling her throat, preventing her from kicking up.
When these words came out of Lu Jingchen's mouth, she realized how much pain her heart was in. It would be better for her to die than to give up this life.
"Why?" Shen Xia Xia asked lightly.
"I'm worried about your health. You're eating more and more, but you're getting thinner. I'm in technology research and development, and I also have a medical sector. I secretly checked your pulse. The stronger the child is, the weaker you are. I can't joke with your life. The child needs your protection."
After a long while, Shen Xia Xia spoke up: "Don't you have the confidence to protect the child?"
Shen Xiaxia burst into tears, trying to suppress her furious voice, and said hysterically: "You are the living devil of Wancheng, you can turn your hand to make clouds and turn your hand to make rain, can't you even protect your own children?"
Lu Jingchen just looked at her and said, "I love children, very much. I can protect him very well and ensure that he will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life."
"But," Lu Jingchen paused, "I am more afraid of losing you than the child. I can't gamble with your life. Without you, the child will have no mother. Do you want to see this scene?"
Shen Xia Xia wiped away her tears and sorted out her emotions: "You know, before you came to me, I did think about whether to give up the child. You and I have both experienced what it feels like to be without a mother."
Shen Xia Xia hugged Lu Jingchen's shoulders: "But now, I am very determined, more determined than ever to keep this child."
"The child's name has appeared in the Book of Life and Death, which means that he was destined to come into this world. I ended his life without permission, which is also considered interfering with the six realms of reincarnation. I will live with regret and guilt for the rest of my life. When I see every child, I will think, how great it would have been if I hadn't killed my child. He would be the same age and just as cute as them."
"I really can't deprive him of his life," Shen Xia Xia paused and looked at Lu Jingchen affectionately, "If his father was not you, I might hesitate to keep her, and I might worry about what would happen to him if I died."
"I carefully recalled my terrible childhood. A large part of it was because Shen Minghan was not a competent father. Because of my mother's departure, he vented all his dissatisfaction on me, which made my childhood so terrible."
"But you are different. You love the child more than I do. You will only love the child more because of my departure and will double your compensation. You are a good father, so we must not deprive the child of the right to come into this world."
Lu Jingchen wanted to insist, but Shen Xiaxia put her index finger on his thin lips and said, "Don't say anything. If you love me, respect my choice. You know me. Even if the sky falls, you can't stop me from making a decision. All you can do is stay with me."
Of course Lu Jingchen knew the character of this stubborn guy, so he didn't insist any more, but the light in his eyes dimmed.
She is stubborn, and he is also stubborn...
