Chapter 292: Gentle Scam

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After more than a month of separation, Nan Kang and Zheng Yue met again.

However, Nan Kang was still elegant and calm, but Zheng Yue had changed a lot from before.

“Don’t! Don’t look at me!” Zheng Yue quickly retreated.

She held her stomach with both hands and hurriedly retreated, foolishly trying to escape Nan Kang’s line of sight.

After she got pregnant, her body became heavy. She had long lost her slender figure. Even her fair and slender hands were no longer beautiful and her fingers were so swollen that no one wanted to look at them.

Coupled with the fact that she had been well-nourished recently, her originally sharp oval face now had a double chin. She did not even need to shrink her neck to see the flesh on her neck.

Nan Kang stood at the door and looked at the current Zheng Yue. The few likes in his heart were also worn away by this Zheng Yue. In the beginning, he liked Zheng Yue’s innocence the most, but now, he couldn’t see any of it in her.

Nan Kang stood at the door with a dark expression. “Zheng Yue.”

He called out Zheng Yue’s full name as his gaze fell on her round stomach.

Previously, the two of them had talked about keeping the child several times and Nan Kang had clearly expressed that he didn’t want to. However, when he saw such an ugly Zheng Yue standing in front of him with a big belly, Nan Kang’s anger almost exploded.

“Please!” Zheng Yue knelt down.

Her mind was blank. When she saw Nan Kang standing in front of her house, she had already turned into mush.

“I just want this child very much.” Zheng Yue’s words were sincere and a little teary. “It’s everything to me…”

She was scared out of her wits. Her only rationality was screaming in her heart to protect this child, but she couldn’t run now. Zheng Yue could only kneel down in despair and beg Nan Kang not to do anything.

“I don’t want to do anything. I just want to give birth to a child for you so that he can be by my side when you’re not around,” Zheng Yue said quickly.

She gripped the corner of Nan Kang’s pants tightly with both hands and resisted the discomfort of kneeling on the ground as she cried and begged him.

If this was in the past, when Zheng Yue was still a little girl, Nan Kang could at least believe it.

However, looking at Zheng Yue, whose face was still oily and looked extremely greasy, as if she had become a 40-year-old aunty, Nan Kang’s heart could not soften at all.

He only looked at her. “Zheng Yue, giving birth is not a small matter.”

Nan Kang didn’t use that tough tone anymore. He just frowned and looked at her disapprovingly, as if he was looking at a junior who was fooling around.

Of course, he had to punish the child, but not now.

At this moment, Zheng Yue was very vigilant and was obviously not suitable to be punished. Nan Kang calmed down and decided to let Zheng Yue relax first.

“I—” Zheng Yue waved her hand. “I promise I won’t let anyone know.”

Perhaps infected by Nan Kang’s gentler appearance, Zheng Yue’s tone gradually stopped being agitated.

But she still looked at Nan Kang nervously, her hands covering her stomach in a defensive posture.

“I just want him to stay with me. I know it’s all my fault. I’m sorry I didn’t listen to you…” Zheng Yue kept saying.

Nan Kang saw that Zheng Yue had the intention to distance herself from him, so he let her retreat.

He stood his ground, sighing helplessly. “Let’s talk about this.”

After saying this, Nan Kang no longer revealed the terrifying aura he had when they first met. He just stood at the door and said this to Zheng Yue.

Hearing Nan Kang’s words, Zheng Yue, who originally had the upper hand during pregnancy, also felt emotional. She looked at Nan Kang hesitantly and sized up his expression, as if she was trying to determine if he was telling the truth.

“Then… let’s talk in the house,” Zheng Yue said after some hesitation.

It wasn’t that she wanted to talk to Nan Kang, but she couldn’t run at all now. Nan Kang had blocked the only entrance to the entire house. Hence, Zheng Yue knew that she couldn’t even resist now.

After determining the situation, Zheng Yue had no choice but to take a step back and walk towards the living room beside her.

“This way,” Zheng Yue said.

Now, she could only improvise.

Nan Kang followed her in and moved from the door to the living room.

Seeing her sit down, Nan Kang didn’t go over. “You stood there for so long just now. Let me get you a gla.s.s of water.”

The familiar thoughtfulness appeared from Nan Kang and Zheng Yue was stunned for a moment before pointing in a direction for him.

“There’s a water dispenser on the left side of this room.” Zheng Yue sniffed gently.

She had really cried just now, so she had not recovered emotionally.

It was not appropriate for pregnant women to be emotional. However, when she saw Nan Kang just now, Zheng Yue was so frightened that her hands and feet turned cold. Now that she came back to her senses, she felt a faint pain in her stomach.

“Alright, give me a moment.” Nan Kang got up.

He walked out and immediately saw the water dispenser. Then, Nan Kang walked over and took a clean gla.s.s of water to fill it.

The water dispenser was outside the room. Zheng Yue was so frightened that she sat there to rest, unable to see Nan Kang’s movements at all.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Nan Kang quickly poured the abortion medicine he had bought on the way into the water and let it melt.

Seeing that there was no problem, Nan Kang carried the cup back and placed the water in front of Zheng Yue.

“Drink some water and let’s talk.” He casually sat beside Zheng Yue.

Zheng Yue hadn’t noticed anything wrong yet. She only thought that Nan Kang seemed to have let go now and didn’t have any intention of forcing her to abort the child.

She carefully reached out to pull Nan Kang’s arm, as if testing him.

Seeing that Nan Kang didn’t resist, Zheng Yue grabbed him. “Are you really willing to have a good talk?”

She definitely wouldn’t be able to win if they fought head-on, but if Nan Kang said that they could negotiate, Zheng Yue felt that she could still see some hope.

Nan Kang nodded. “Now that things have come to this, I naturally want you to be well.”

He looked very helpless, and there was an indescribable indulgence in his expression towards Zheng Yue.

“I’m sorry. I’ve been hiding it from you all this time.” Zheng Yue felt guilty when she saw him like this. “The last time you pulled me to an abortion, you scared me.”

She relaxed a little, so she leaned against Nan Kang and couldn’t stop talking.

She could not be blamed for this. After all, she had been staying in the countryside alone for more than a month. It was already good that she did not go crazy.

Moreover, Zheng Yue was still a pregnant woman. During her pregnancy, she needed more company and her husband’s care, but she didn’t have any of that. Every day, other than talking to Murong Qiao, Zheng Yue didn’t even dare to tell anyone she knew what had happened to her.

“Yes,” Nan Kang replied from time to time.

He nodded occasionally as Zheng Yue spoke, looking like he was listening attentively.

However, Nan Kang’s mind was not on this at all. From time to time, his gaze would drift to the gla.s.s of water he had poured, wondering how to make Zheng Yue drink it.

So he picked up the gla.s.s of water again. “Drink some water to moisten your throat.”

Zheng Yue was a little unhappy to be interrupted by him.

However, she still took the water obediently and held it in her hand. “Alright, I’ll drink it after I’m done talking..”
