Shadow and Light: The Bride Who Clicks Her Way to Love-Chapter 330 - 343: Should I Have the Baby?

He asked directly, but Su Xingyu remained silent.

She didn’t answer immediately and instead hung up the video call.

She tossed and turned at night, her sleep restless, spending the whole night pondering one question: should she have this child?

Her hand unconsciously rested on her abdomen again, the delicate flatness unchanged with not the slightest movement. Was there really a tiny life brewing and taking shape there? She looked up at the starry sky outside the window, suddenly uncertain, the feeling of pregnancy was so elusive.

If only, if only her mother were still alive.

If her mother were still alive, she’d definitely be able to tell her what to do, right?

All the family members in this world were moving farther and farther away from her, her grandfather, her mother, and later the father who had schemed against her for so long severed ties with her...

She had thought that living a good life with Lu Shifeng would earn her a new, warm home, but that home was so fragile, a little turmoil shattered it completely.

She was alone once more.

Although there was Ouyang Yi, maybe Xia Ling and Ling Weilong were also somewhere on this planet concerned about her?

But they were just friends, after all, she no longer had family.

Feeling sad, she placed her hand on her abdomen and drifted into sleep.

She had a dream. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

She dreamt of a tiny baby crawling beside her, extending chubby little arms to hug her face, laughing carefree, babbling, as if saying, "Mama, you’re not alone, you still have me..."

She woke up in the morning from the dream.

Sitting up, she stared blankly into space for a long time, then dialed Ouyang Yi’s video call: "I plan to have this child."

The arrival of a new life is a blessing from heaven, since he’s come, she should accept him. Even though his father is such a cruel and terrifying man, he is innocent.

On the other end of the call, Ouyang Yi was silent, then he raised a somewhat roguish smile: "Having the child? Xingyu, I thought since you didn’t want to be with the child’s father, you’d end it."

Su Xingyu said softly, "Earlier, back home when I had checkups, so many hospitals said I wasn’t in good health. Maybe this baby is my only chance."

Thus Ouyang Yi said, "No problem, I told you I’d support you. You just take good care of yourself there, eat well, rest well, and I’ll visit you in a few days."

Now that she’s decided to have the child, many problems arise, like preparing for pregnancy, being ready for delivery, even the issue of the child’s identity after birth.

She couldn’t handle so much alone; the most immediate issue was that she couldn’t speak the language in Country F, and her English wasn’t good either. Without Ouyang Yi and his people’s care, she’d be completely lost.

She said: "Alright, I’ll wait for you."

On Ouyang Yi’s side, as the video ended, the smile on his face slowly turned cold, becoming frosty.

In the spacious European-style living room, an elderly man with immaculately combed gray hair stood at the side, now stepping forward to say: "Young master, Miss Su is pregnant, what are your plans?"

"I thought she’d abort the child." His expression was gloomy, a vague frustration he couldn’t quite articulate bubbled within him, making him want to smash something to vent.

The elderly man sensed his irritation, saying: "Young master, pardon my bluntness, but Miss Su choosing to have the child is more advantageous to us. With this, we’d have a Lu Family hostage in our hands."

"Hmph, a hostage?" Ouyang Yi sneered, "Didn’t you hear that Zhuang Heng is also pregnant? Once Zhuang Heng has the child, Su Xingyu’s will count for nothing!"

The elder glanced at him: "Young master, have you noticed, your emotions have unknowingly been greatly influenced by Miss Su? Actually, it’s not that the child in Miss Su’s womb is nothing, it’s that you care too much about her, more than one should when using a woman. That’s why you can’t stand the thought of her having a child with another man."

"Insolent!" Ouyang Yi rebuked without a second thought.

But the elderly man wasn’t afraid, on the contrary, he pressed the issue: "Young master, I’ve watched you grow up, served you for so many years. Today, I’m not afraid to speak my mind. You were the illegitimate child of the Feiying Stanway Family, the least favored, most obscure one, always suppressed by the three brothers above you. You grew up living cautiously, being very sensitive to others’ moods, never putting on airs even to us servants because you clearly understood you had no right to. You’re always amiable to us servants, only reprimanding us if we make a major mistake. Yet just now?"

The old man’s words trailed off, but Ouyang Yi had already broken out in a cold sweat.

Yes, he was never one to put on airs, yet just now he had rebuked a trusted follower for a trivial verbal disagreement, which was unlike him.

Could it be, Su Xingyu’s influence on him was really this strong?

Ouyang Yi’s eyes grew profound.

The old man watched him, continuing slowly, "Since you can’t think clearly, let me help you. If Miss Su can safely bring this child to term, it’s undoubtedly beneficial for us. The Lu Family doesn’t know there’s an offspring outside, and we can raise the child as we see fit, using him to infiltrate the Lu Family, with the flexibility to attack or retreat. Not only might we seize the domestic camera market share from the Lu Family, but also achieve other greater feats. Do not underestimate this child; even if Zhuang Heng’s pregnancy is earlier, no one knows for sure if she’s carrying a son. If Miss Su bears a son, he’ll be the first grandson of the Lu Family’s main branch! Moreover, whether Zhuang Heng’s pregnancy is real or not, even if it is, there’s no guarantee for a safe delivery!"

Ouyang Yi remained silent.

He understood, the old man’s words made sense.

But to accept raising another man’s child at his side, especially that of his rival, made him want to choke the little creature to death at once.

The elderly man stepped back, continuing to persuade him: "Miss Su isn’t in good health. A forced abortion might mean she’d never conceive again. Better let her nurture this one well, have it healthy, and therefore she might be moved by your care to marry and have children with you in the future."

Moved, Ouyang Yi finally made a decision: "Fine, let her protect the pregnancy well."

Handling his affairs, a few days later, he found an excuse, taking the old man back to his estate in Country F.

Su Xingyu was delighted to see him: "Ouyang, you finally came, thank you for everything you’ve done for me, your housekeepers and doctors have taken great care of me and the baby."

Ouyang Yi looked at her, his gaze swept over the ghastly scar on her cheek, a roguish smile appeared: "Little beauty Xingyu, you’ve gained weight. How’s the little baby, still doing well?"
