Chapter 1184: Don’t Tell Him
“A baby?” Luo Ruoran was dumbfounded. She reached out and touched her lower abdomen gently. “Is there a baby in here?”
“Yes, you’re about two months along. It’s a very healthy baby.” Jiang Yao smiled. “Are you going to tell Big Brother?”
Jiang Yao did not need to ask; she knew that the baby could only be Liang Yueze’s. It did not look like Luo Ruoran had expected to be pregnant, so it was even more impossible for Liang Yueze to know.
“No.” Luo Ruoran shook her head. “Don’t tell him, and don’t tell Lu Xingzhi either.”
“Why?” Jiang Yao asked.
“Yueze and I are already divorced. There’s no need to burden anyone with a child. He will remarry another woman, and she will bear his children. This is my baby. It’s not like I can’t afford to raise this baby. There’s no need to tell him.”
Luo Ruoran rejected her question. “Jiang Yao, can you help me keep this a secret? Don’t tell anyone, including your husband. I’ll be leaving tomorrow and won’t be back for a while. I can give birth to my child overseas.”
“But you’ll have to come back sooner or later. With the relations.h.i.+p between the Luo and Liang families, they will find out eventually that you’ve had a child.” Jiang Yao still could not understand why Luo Ruoran and Liang Yueze would divorce so suddenly.
She had seen the way Luo Ruoran and Liang Yueze were together. When they got married, they looked very happy and in love. How did it change? Every time she saw Luo Ruoran, there was worry in her eyes.
When they got married, she was smiling so happily. How did she become so unhappy after that?
“There is nothing in this world that can’t be solved with money. Coincidentally, the Luo family does not lack money.” Luo Ruoran smiled lightly. “I will not hide it from my parents. When I give birth abroad, I can tell others that I adopted my baby. Or I can pretend to get married abroad and hide it from the Liang family. I can treat it as if this is my baby with my future husband.”
Money could solve many problems. Luo Ruoran was the Luo family’s only daughter, so they would be willing to spend money on her.
Jiang Yao was at a loss for words after learning that Luo Ruoran had arranged all of the alternatives so swiftly. Luo Ruoran was resolved to sever all relations with Liang Yueze. Therefore, she had no intention of informing the Liang family about the child.
“Jiang Yao, I’m begging you. Please don’t tell anyone about the baby.” Luo Ruoran bit her lips, and her voice was choked back with sobs. “If the Liang family finds out about the baby, they will force Liang Yueze and I to remarry. Even though I love him, I’m not willing to continue to love him like this. I’ve already chosen to let him go. I don’t want us to continue torturing each other. Jiang Yao, Lu Xingzhi loves you, and you love him too. You two are happy, so you probably won’t understand how hard it is for Liang Yueze and me to be together. I tried, but I did not get the result I wanted. I’m letting him go, and I hope that we can break up completely. The child is mine, and I can take good care of the child by myself.”
Jiang Yao heard Luo Ruoran’s words, but she was unsure why Luo Ruoran would say that it was torture for Liang Yueze and her to be together. Why would it be so torturous for them to be together?
