After a long while, Su Wan looked away. “Jing Chen, it’s not that I don’t believe you. It’s just that the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment… I’m living quite well now.”

Jing Chen was stunned. So she could live without him?

“I’m sorry, Wan wan.” Jing Chen apologized in a low voice. “I didn’t expect Bai Lian to become like this. She’ll do anything to achieve her goal. I’ll bring you home after I settle this matter, okay?”

Jing Chen had already tried his best to lower his posture, his eyes pleading.

Su Wan was a little stunned. She had never seen Jing Chen like this. Even during the two-year contract marriage, she had never seen him lower his head. Her heart softened.

“Don’t be like this.” Su Wan sighed slightly. “I just won’t be going back for the time being. You don’t have to worry too much.”

Jing Chen was delighted when he heard that. The anger in his heart seemed to ease a lot. He said, “It’s settled then, Wan wan. I’ll pick you up in a few days.”

“We’ll talk about it when the time comes.”

Su Wan still did not dare to trust Jing Chen. After all, as long as Bai Lian was around, there would always be a distance between her and Jing Chen.

Besides, Jing Chen had indirectly killed their child.

Su Wan no longer wanted to be with Jing Chen.

Jing Chen did not stay in the hospital for long. He had planned to return to the company, but he went to Bai Lian’s place.

It had been many days since Bai Lian’s electronics were taken away. She had no way of finding out about what was going on outside. Only two bodyguards were guarding the door. Without Jing Chen’s orders, they did not dare to speak to Bai Lian.

Bai Lian was a little anxious.

She wondered how those people were settling her plans.

Seeing Jing Chen, Bai Lian started to panic for the first time.

“Chen, our child…”

This child was Bai Lian’s biggest bargaining chip. Perhaps Jing Chen would be soft-hearted towards her for the sake of the child.

But Jing Chen only glanced at her and stood at the door, with no intention of entering. “Your pregnancy test results show that the child is only two weeks old. It hasn’t even been a month, so this is not my child.”

Bai Lian’s mind went blank, and her eyes became flustered.

“Chen, could the report you got be fake? The child has been more than a month old? I have the pregnancy test report here too. Do you want to take a look?” As Bai Lian spoke, she immediately went into the house and handed the pregnancy test report to Jing Chen.

But Jing Chen waved his hand and put away the report. He frowned and said, “Bai Lian, you were the one who gave me the paternity test last time, right? You have spent a lot of effort to make a report that can be fake.”

Bai Lian forced a smile and pretended to be calm. “The last time was the last time. This time is definitely true. Chen, you have to believe me. How can I joke about our child?”

Jing Chen kept staring at Bai Lian, wanting to see through her.

“But Gao Nan has already admitted that the child is his.” Jing Chen probed, “He also said that he had thoughts on you after he saw you naked the last time. The two of you slept with each other for half a month when I wasn’t around, right?”

Bai Lian trembled when she heard the name “Gao Nan”.

Gao Nan…

Gao Nan still betrayed her…

Jing Chen also knew that she had been seen naked.

She had clearly sent him a message on WeChat asking him to not admit it. The strong sense of shame made her want to find a hole to hide in.

Bai Lian’s hand trembled slightly and she almost lost her grip on the pregnancy test report.

Actually, Jing Chen had never seen Gao Nan, nor had he sent Zhao Lin to ask him. He had come this time just to trick Bai Lian. He did not expect to really gain something.

Looking at Bai Lian, Gao Nan should know a lot.

“Chen, I didn’t mean to betray you. It’s Xia Jing. Xia Jing and Su Wan are best friends. They must have worked together to kidnap me and even asked that man to take off my clothes. I was tied to the chair and couldn’t move… Boohoo…” Bai Lian panicked and tears welled up in her eyes as she accused Xia Jing and Su Wan with a pained expression.

Jing Chen frowned. For some reason, he felt frustrated when he saw Bai Lian crying.
