She never expected to wake up again.
As soon as she opened her eyes, her first instinct was to instinctively clutch her abdomen. Her heart sank instantly, and tears uncontrollably welled up.
She stared blankly at the man in front of her, her hands gripping his sleeve tightly as if it were a lifeline. With a voice choked with sobs, she asked, “Father, where is my child?”
Hearing this, Shen Yichen felt as if his heart had been struck hard, and he could no longer maintain his indifference.
He suddenly pulled her into a tight embrace, filled with three months of longing and endless regret.
He cursed himself repeatedly in his mind for being so cruel as to keep her from seeing their child; for having such strong endurance, knowing his feelings yet managing to avoid facing them; for possessing her yet finding ridiculous excuses to convince himself not to care.
While she had wronged him by plotting against him, which woman would willingly give up her innocence if she were not deeply in love?
If she were not deeply in love, how could a simple girl like her harbor such cunning thoughts?
“Where is the child?”
Yaxin's voice was as faint as a flickering candle in the wind, yet she persistently asked again and again, “Where is the child? Where is the child?”
He held her hand tightly, his eyes filled with tenderness. “Yaxin, there will be children in the future.”
“We won’t have children anymore! Your father will drive me away, and I will never see you again!”
Her tears fell like a flood breaking through a dam, her eyes vacant as she looked at him. "It's all my fault. I didn't protect him well. It's my fault... I'm a murderer, a killer!"
"It was your cousin who tripped you, Yaxin. You protected our child well; it’s not your fault." He rushed to comfort her.
"Really? Is that true?" She sought affirmation like a lost child.
"Yes, it’s true. It’s not your fault. The child is gone, but it’s okay; we can have another one. No, many more! How many do you want? We’ll have as many as you want!" Seeing her terrified expression made his heart ache even more.
This girl had once been so proud and unyielding, yet she had endured so much for him in the the Shen Family.
And he had allowed others to bully her, even indirectly causing the loss of their child.
"It’s impossible. Your father won’t want me; he’ll kick me out. Really, Father, Yaxin doesn’t want to leave you. Don’t abandon me, please!"
Her voice trembled with tears, her body slightly shaking as she clutched tightly to his shirt, her eyes filled with fear and pleading.
Seeing her like this pierced his heart; he could no longer hold back and pulled her into his embrace again, wrapping his arms around her as if trying to merge her into himself. He whispered softly, "I won’t. We promised to never be apart."
"But Master Shen won’t agree. Chang Ma said if I lost the child, he would throw me out! Unless... unless I have the recipe for Graceful Belle."
It was as if a sudden spark of inspiration struck her; her eyes widened in realization as the thought flashed through her mind like lightning. She lifted her head, hope and determination shining in her gaze. "If I give Master Shen the recipe for Graceful Belle, he will let us be together, right?"
"I wouldn’t know how to face you then." He sighed softly, his eyes filled with helplessness and deep affection.
At that time, he believed that Yaxin's feelings for him were merely a continuation of childhood affection, a means to gain stability, which is why she used his love for her to enter the the Shen Family.
It wasn't until he saw her recklessly risking everything for a handkerchief, even offering the recipe for " Graceful Belle " just to be with him, that he realized her feelings were the same as his.
"I'm sorry," she apologized again in a low voice, tears streaming down her face like beads from a broken string.
He held her tightly, his arms wrapping around her firmly as he softly reassured her, "There's no need to apologize. From now on, we will be good to each other. No one owes anyone anything, Yaxin, I..."
Before he could finish, her lips pressed against his, salty with tears and trembling slightly. He was taken aback for a moment but then closed his eyes and responded to her kiss. Their lips intertwined, the kiss sliding deep into his heart.
That night, she was very proactive, yet her tears never ceased. Her body trembled slightly; he couldn't tell if it was from overwhelming joy or something else. He furrowed his brow in confusion, wanting to ask what was wrong, but every time he opened his mouth, she silenced him with her fervent and almost reckless affection.
In the last hazy impression of that night, he vaguely remembered her repeatedly whispering one thing: "Give me a child." Her voice was soft yet insistent, carrying an undeniable longing.
Looking back on the days that followed, Shen Yichen always felt that those were the happiest times of his life.
Although the the Shen Family still harbored some resentment towards Yaxin, they no longer looked at her with disdain because she had saved the the Shen Family.
