Chapter 602 Sorry
These words were almost a threat.
Xiao Fengyi had something else to say. What he really wanted to say to Yan Nuo was that since it was so painful to be together, he might as well let go and give her freedom. Yan Nuo seemed to have been touched on the reverse scale. He said to Xiao Fengyi in a sharp and warning tone, “Put away your thoughts that you shouldn’t have.” He didn’t know that these subordinates were all toads and wanted to eat swan meat.
Xiao Fengyi glanced at him and turned to leave.
Yan Nuo returned to his room with the ring and planned to put it away.
He remembered that the ring box was in the drawer of the bedside table. He pulled open the left cabinet but did not find the box. He pulled open the right cabinet again. He did not find the ring box, but he saw a letter.
Yan Nuo stared at the letter and his eyes froze. He put down the ring and his fingertips trembled before he gathered enough strength to pick up the letter.
As soon as he picked up the envelope, Yan Nuo sensed that there was not only paper inside, but also a foreign object. He opened the envelope and took out a long handle-like object. Yan Nuo turned the thing over and saw two purple-red lines.
In an instant, Yan Nuo froze.
He opened his mouth and his lips trembled for a long time before he exclaimed, “Ah!”
He felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
The pregnancy test kit fell to the ground.
Yan Nuo looked up and took a deep breath before taking the letter out.
To Yan Nuo:
I don’t have the courage to ask you what ‘inappropriate’ means. I was afraid. Afraid the answer would disappoint me.
Yan Nuo, I still remember what you said to me on that oak tree about imagining the future and the child. I find it hard to believe that you, who used to look forward to the child, would resist the arrival of the child.
I’m pregnant. We’ve always had good contraceptive measures. I guess the baby came in the dining room at breakfast that day.
Children are G.o.d’s gift to us.
Yan Nuo, I want to give birth to him. Whether he is a boy or a girl, I will love him. I’m sorry I didn’t have the courage to tell you in person. I was really afraid that you would let me get rid of this child when you found out the truth.
I choose to leave for America. I will nurture this new life well.
If you still insist on not having this child after reading the letter and knowing that I’m pregnant, then perhaps we should reconsider our relations.h.i.+p.
If you’re willing to accept him, you can come to America to look for me.
Yan Nuo.
Yan Nuo.
Yan Nuo, being able to get pregnant with your child is the second greatest blessing in my life. My first blessing is finding you in the sea of people when I was eight years old. All my luck is related to you.
Yan Nuo, I’m leaving.
I hope it can wait until you come. I look forward to the day you name our baby.
Quietly waiting for good news. After reading this letter, Yan Nuo was no longer calm.
In an instant, there was an explanation for Ji Yinbing’s abnormal reaction. She insisted on leaving not because she didn’t care about him, but because she was afraid.
What kind of mood did she have when she boarded the plane and went to America? How helpless did she feel the moment she realized that she could not keep the child? When she came back and the water was tested to be poisonous, how much despair did she have for herself? When she saw Vera in her room doing that, did her heart ache like a knife?
The more he thought about it, the more terrified Yan Nuo was.
He bent down to pick up the pregnancy test kit and looked at the two purple-red lines. Boundless pain spread in his heart.
“I’m sorry.”
He said sorry to the child and Ji Yinbing.
Tears fell to the floor.
The iron man was gentle and shed bitter tears. If others saw this, they would definitely find it unbelievable.
The next day, Yan Nuo brought the pregnancy test kit and personally went to the nursery shop. As a big man, he strolled around the shop for a long time before finally choosing a white princess dress. He always felt that the child who had no fate with them was a little princess. He bought a dress and let Thomas drive him out of the city.
“Stop the car.”
Thomas parked the car obediently.
The two of them got out of the car. Yan Nuo asked him to wait here, and he looked like he was about to climb the slope. Thomas was worried about his health, so he said, “Second Chief, what are you going up to do? I can do it for you.”
“No one can do this for me.”
With that, Yan Nuo climbed the slope.
He had a bag in his hand. Thomas didn’t even know what it was.
Thomas looked up at his surroundings. This place was desolate and uninhabited. What was Second Chief doing here?
Mumbai was very hot all year round. The oak trees swayed in the wind, and there was a rare hint of coolness under the trees. Yan Nuo knelt on the gra.s.s and muttered to himself, “This is a good place. It’s the place where your mother and I first dated.”
“I’ll bury you… here. Don’t be unhappy.” After saying that, Yan Nuo personally dug a pit on the ground.
He placed a small wooden box in the pit and put the pregnancy test kit and the princess dress into the box. When he closed the lid of the box, Yan Nuo suddenly said, “Baby, Dad has let you down.” His eyes were red. “Don’t blame Mom. If you want to blame someone, blame me.”
He closed the lid himself before covering them with soil.
After setting up the tombstone, Yan Nuo thought of the content mentioned in Ji Yinbing’s letter. He pondered for a moment before using the dagger to carve the words Yan Xiaobao on the tombstone.
Yan Nuo looked for Ji Yinbing for a long time.
One month, two months, half a year, one year… After two years, he still couldn’t find any concrete traces of Ji Yinbing. Yan Nuo became even more gloomy and cold. The OK app was as lively as usual, but Yan Nuo mostly just watched and didn’t say anything else.
Similarly, Ji Yinbing’s profile picture remained dark.
Yan Nuo suspected that Fang Yusheng was helping Ji Yinbing hide. He had always sent people to pay close attention to Fang Yusheng’s movements and even eavesdropped on Fang Yusheng’s phone. In the end, he found nothing. Later on, Fang Yusheng unintentionally discovered that Yan Nuo had eavesdropped on his phone and even quarreled with him once.
Over the past two years, the global situation had also changed. There were frequent battles of all sizes in many countries in Africa. The international newspapers published the battle situation of the local war every day. On social media software, there were always war reporters who reported the fiery living conditions of the local residents.
Yan Nuo had been very busy recently and did not have time to read those emotional reports.
Hence, he missed the opportunity to discover Ji Yinbing’s whereabouts.
Ji Yinbing attended the International Red Cross Society. She took the initiative to apply to go to Africa to save the trapped people who were infected by the plague and the biochemical pollution of war. The number of students who came out of Harvard College who chose to enter the workforce with high salaries was small. Most of them were doing things to repay the society.
Top figures like Ji Yinbing enjoyed the satisfaction and sense of accomplishment from repaying society and saving the weak compared to earning money and fame.
