Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 771 - 751: Show Some Respect, Mr. Huo (1)

Jiayi took a deep breath, struggling to suppress her sense of loss.

Of course, apart from the loss, the moment she saw Nie Yixiao, a strong sense of grievance also gushed out.

She understood that Nie Yixiao must have already learned about her situation.

Her eyelashes fluttered heavily and finally, unable to hold back, the tears fell like beads off a broken string, embarrassingly.

"Don’t cry, it’s all in the past. Since the police station has new evidence and you were able to get bail, things will be okay," he strode over, frowning as he lifted his hand to brush away her wet hair, tucking it behind her ear, whispering softly, "...I specially invited an international prominent lawyer to come back to Yunling with me, an old friend I met at ISM, someone I have a very good personal relationship with. He’s famously tough in criminal defense cases all over the world and has never lost. Brother Yixiao promises you, you won’t have any problems."

Just like when he consoled her as a child.

His tone was incredibly indulgent.

After venting her emotions, Jiayi finally stopped crying.

He wiped the tears from her face with his finger and, seeing her barefoot on the carpet, pulled her to sit down on the bed: "Your fever has just subsided, and you’re still very weak. Lie down and rest. I called Aunt Xia last night and told her that when I went to pick you up, I saw you were unwell and took you to my apartment. They were very reassured that you could rest well before returning."

She didn’t speak, like a wooden doll, hugging her knees and staring blankly on the bed.

He was silent for a while before saying, "Shall I make a call and get Huo Zhenyang to come over?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than she seemed to be snapped back to reality and looked up sharply: "Don’t. He and I no longer have any relationship."

Nie Yixiao, of course, knew about Huo Zhenyang sending lawyers with the divorce agreement to her, and his handsome brows furrowed.

After a while, he still stroked her hair: "You should at least talk to him face to face, at the very least, find out what he’s actually thinking."

Is there even a need to ask?

When she was at her most vulnerable and in need of support, Huo Zhenyang was never there.

Yesterday, when she needed someone’s help the most, it still wasn’t him who appeared...

During these most difficult days, all she had received was his divorce agreement and the cold announcement on television, disavowing any association with her to the entire city.

"I don’t want to see him. Brother Yixiao, don’t tell him I’m here," she insisted stubbornly.

Nie Yixiao gazed at her intently.

After betraying her due to the investigation of the Xuan Family case, he had sworn that from now on, whatever she wanted to do, he would go along with her wishes.

But this time, he couldn’t help but speak out: "Jiayi, no matter what, I think you still need to meet him."

She heard the seriousness in his tone and looked at him doubtfully.

Nie Yixiao’s gaze fell on her still-flat abdomen: "You’re pregnant, six weeks."

Before taking her unconscious self back to his apartment yesterday, he had first visited the nearby hospital, where they discovered that she was six weeks pregnant.

A six-week pregnancy...

All this time, she had been languishing in a gloomy prison cell.

And that man, as her husband, hadn’t visited her once.

Huo Zhenyang, where was your promise to take good care of her?

Even a few comforting words in person might have made her feel a lot better!

But that man, not only did he not show up, but he also sent her divorce papers.

This ignited a nameless anger in Nie Yixiao, which took him a long time to suppress.

It struck her like a thunderbolt, leaving her somewhat dazed.

The frequent dizziness and vomiting she had experienced these days was not paranoia; she was really pregnant?

She had always thought it was because of the shock that she hadn’t recovered yet, and it seemed normal for her body to be affected by the poor conditions in the detention center.

Why was this child coming at such a time?

Was God playing with her?

Nie Yixiao’s voice continued, "Don’t worry, the medicine you’ve been taking these past few days is safe for pregnant women; it won’t affect the fetus."

There wasn’t a trace of joy on her face; instead, it lost all color, and it took her a long while to accept this reality as she bit hard on her lower lip, "Even if I’m pregnant, I don’t need to see him. We’re already divorced, there’s no relationship anymore. Even if there is, I can raise the child myself. Don’t tell him—"

Nie Yixiao took hold of her shoulder, "Don’t say foolish things, okay? Zaizai is like this, for the second child, do you plan to let them grow up in an environment without a biological father, just like Zaizai?"

She stubbornly replied, "That’s even easier to deal with. I won’t let this child be born. I’ll terminate the pregnancy! That way, the child won’t suffer!"

Nie Yixiao burst into a frustrated laughter and stood up, "Alright, I’ll call him—"

"Brother Yixiao!" She panicked and lunged to stop him.

She slipped suddenly, tilting toward the floor, and fell onto the carpet.

Nie Yixiao was startled and quickly stepped over to lift Jiayi up, "How are you? Did you hurt yourself?"

Jiayi’s face was covered with alarm; without answering, she quickly lowered her head and looked down at her abdomen.

Although it was only for a moment, Nie Yixiao saw it clearly.

The first thing she did after falling was to instinctively check her stomach,

In her subconscious, she still cared a great deal about the child.

Realizing she hadn’t fallen on the child, she let out a slight sigh of relief.

Nie Yixiao collected his thoughts and laid her down on the bed, frowning as he scolded her, "Lie down properly, don’t be reckless!"

"Brother Yixiao..." She feared he would go and make the call. Clutching at his sleeve to stop him from leaving, her tone became pleading, "I’ll lie down properly, please don’t call him, please. I don’t want to see him, I truly don’t want to..."

With such a pitiable tone in her plea, could he still refuse her?

Nie Yixiao finally stopped in his tracks, his eyes twinkling with stars but not without worry, "Are you sure?"

Her mouth twitched, and unexpectedly, a mismatched faint smile surfaced, more bitter than tears, "Do you think I’m throwing a tantrum? I’m not. I’ve always wanted to leave him, and now that he’s finally let me go, I should be happy, shouldn’t I? He doesn’t want me anymore, and I need to retain a bit of dignity for myself."

Pausing again, she tried to lift her lips, which regained a hint of rosiness and moisture, "Would it bother you if I stayed at your place for a few days?"

If she returned to Green Island Garden now, Huo Zhenyang would surely come looking for her.

At this moment, she didn’t want to see him.

Not in the slightest.

Nie Yixiao was silent for a while before saying, "You can stay as long as you like."

She tried her best to smile warmly, "Okay. Then I’m going to rest."

After speaking, she lay down flat, pulling up the blanket to half-cover her worn-out face.

Nie Yixiao didn’t say anything more, tenderly tucked her in, turned around, and quietly stepped out of the room.

-

After staying at Nie Yixiao’s apartment for several days, Jiayi’s body and spirit gradually recovered.

This was an apartment Nie Yixiao had temporarily rented in Yunling.

It was not in the city center but was located near the outskirts of a resort village in West City District, by the sea and mountains—secluded and peaceful, an ideal place for quiet contemplation and recuperation.
