Ke Jie recalled, "You haven't been staying at Wan Jia these past few days. Is that alright? Won't Wan Zhang suspect you?"
Hua Rongxiao raised an eyebrow. "He's easier to deceive than you."
With a casual smile, Hua Rongxiao turned and walked into the living room. Just then, she received a message from the head of the Cosmetic Surgery Institution: "Hua Jie, Lan Qingqing's baby is safe! We just gave her some strong medication, so don't worry."
She turned off her phone screen and tossed it aside, reclining comfortably on the sofa. She felt relaxed and at ease, everything was proceeding according to her plan, and everyone was under her control. She was one step closer to achieving her goal.
She was determined to make Lan Qingqing pay dearly; she would never accept the child in Lan Qingqing's womb. Although she was willing to pay the thirty thousand for Ke Jie’s sake, that was merely to keep him happy! As for that extortionist Lan Qingqing, she would not let her off easily!
Since Lan Qingqing dared to take her money, she would have to pay double the price! By the time Lan Qingqing gave birth to a deformed or mentally challenged child, Ke Jie would certainly not accept that baby. Lan Qingqing would have to raise it all by herself.
Nothing could be more terrifying than raising a disabled burden!
Thinking of this, Hua Rongxiao couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Ke Jie brought the food to the table and asked curiously, "What are you thinking? You seem so happy."
As Hua Rongxiao joined him at the table, her eyes sparkled with allure. "You love children so much; how about I have one for you? Then we can deceive that old man Wan Zhang into believing it's his child."
Ke Jie raised an eyebrow in skepticism. "Didn’t you say you wouldn’t have kids?"
Hua Rongxiao countered with a condition. "If you can keep being this attentive to me, I wouldn’t mind having one. Besides, do I really have to give birth myself? I could use someone else’s womb."
Ke Jie chuckled. "Surrogacy is illegal."
Hua Rongxiao shrugged nonchalantly. "It’s legal abroad. We can just tell Wan Zhang that we had a surrogate overseas; he’d definitely go for it!"
Ke Jie nodded slowly. "You call the shots; I’ll follow your lead."
Hua Rongxiao leaned closer to him and asked, "So tell me, if we had a child together, what about the one in Lan Qingqing's belly?"
Without hesitation, Ke Jie replied, "If we had a child together, I wouldn’t want Lan Qingqing’s baby. She can either take it away and let it fend for itself or I’ll find a way to deal with it."
Hua Rongxiao feigned surprise. "Oh, how ruthless! Didn’t you just say you wanted your own flesh and blood?"
Ke Jie replied earnestly, "The child in Lan Qingqing's womb is an unavoidable choice for me. If you're willing to have my child, I won’t let hers interfere with our lives. I know what answer you want from me; I’ll just do as you say."
Hua Rongxiao was overjoyed. She stood up and walked toward the cabinet by the door, pulling out a set of car keys and placing them in front of Ke Jie. "Weren't you particularly wanting a Rolls Royce? It's parked in the underground garage; go take it for a spin."
Ke Jie paused in disbelief; his ultimate dream was so easily within reach.
Hua Rongxiao continued, "Soon enough, we’ll own all kinds of sports cars, villas, an entire commercial building. I want to make you someone truly exceptional and give you everything you've ever desired!"
Ke Jie had lost his appetite, cradling Hua Rongxiao in his arms as he made his way toward the bedroom.
Meanwhile, at the Cosmetic Surgery Institution, Lan Qingqing woke up quickly, though the pain jolted her from her slumber.
She opened her eyes to see a nurse by her side and weakly asked, "Am I in the hospital?"
The nurse was changing Lan Qingqing's IV bag and reassured her, "You're at the institution, not in a hospital. You're fine now, and the baby is safe too. The doctor said both you and the baby are okay. Just relax and take care of yourself."
Lan Qingqing couldn't believe it. "I was bleeding! How could I still keep the baby? Is it even healthy?"
At that moment, the Male Supervisor entered with a smile, comforting her. "Don't worry; you're really fine. The doctor has confirmed it. Just take care of yourself and trust us!"
Shaking her head, Lan Qingqing insisted, "I want to go to the hospital. I need to terminate this pregnancy; this baby can't possibly be healthy!"
The Male Supervisor cautioned her, "If you terminate now, it would be an induced labor, which is very dangerous! Plus, with all those wounds on your face, if you rush into it, there's a high risk of infection or tearing! Your face could be completely disfigured! Not to mention, our doctors' perfect work would be ruined! Miss Lan, please don’t act irrationally. The baby in your belly is really fine, and your body is okay too. Don’t you feel that you're not in as much pain as before? Your physical condition is really good; before long, you'll be out of here, removing the bandages and becoming a beautiful woman!"
Instinctively, Lan Qingqing touched her belly. Indeed, as the pregnancy progressed, if she wanted to terminate it now, it would mean an induced labor that could severely affect her cosmetic results! Not only could recovery be complicated, but there was also a risk of infection or ruptured wounds!
She compromised; her priority was to heal her face. If the baby turned out to be fine, she could still earn back some of her maternity benefits. If there were complications with the baby, once she gave birth, she would hand it over to Ke Jie without raising it for even a day!
After all, children didn’t show any issues until they were three years old; as long as they had all their limbs intact, they were considered healthy!
