Chiang Qing couldn’t understand at all. No matter how she thought about it, she just couldn’t figure it out. Why did Shen Rong let someone else have children, but wouldn’t let her? Why?
Since he had given her a status, wasn’t it meant to be more than just fooling around? But why, why wouldn’t he let her bear a child?
He previously said that he was getting older, so he wasn’t really thinking about it. But now, what about the second wife? Isn’t this just a slap in the face?
Others can have children, but she cannot. Others have several, but she has none!
So, from the very beginning, did he always treat her as a plaything? Even giving her a status was just making her a canary?
It’s too ridiculous!
Chiang Qing burst into laughter, tears seeping from the corners of her eyes.
The driver glanced at her in the rearview mirror, then withdrew his gaze and focused on driving.
Chiang Qing’s tears kept flowing, her inner grief and anger forming like a small tornado, spinning slowly.
Back at the villa in the mountain estate, she saw Shen Rong sitting on the European-style sofa, flipping through the newspaper, while beside him, his secretary Lin Biao was reporting.
"Third Madam is back!" Lin Biao stood up as he saw Chiang Qing.
Chiang Qing nodded at him, looked at Shen Rong, and a plex emotion flashed in her eyes, yet she smiled and said, "You’re back!"
"I told you I’d e back early to be with you," Shen Rong said with his usual gentleness, reaching out to her, while saying to Lin Biao, "Let’s do it this way, organize someone to help the second one give a boost. It’s been so long without any good news, and the actions are too slow!"
Chiang Qing’s gaze flickered, concealing her jealousy. Indeed, having children means everything is sufficient. Having children also brings many benefits.
Look, the second wife’s belly grows, and the old man immediately gives her chips, helping her establish a foundation and start a business.
In contrast to herself?
Chiang Qing hid the hatred in her eyes, walked over obediently, while Lin Biao smoothly left Shen Rong’s side to arrange the matters he’d been told.
"Where did you go?" Shen Rong asked as he embraced Chiang Qing’s shoulder.
Chiang Qing rested her head on his shoulder, and with one hand, she clung to his other shoulder, saying, "I was bored here, so I went out for a stroll." She paused and added, "And while I was out, I went to the hospital for a check-up."
Shen Rong immediately asked, "Why, are you feeling unwell?"
Chiang Qing shook her head, deliberately sounding dispirited as she said, "I see Second Sister is pregnant again. At her age, she’s so fertile, but in contrast, I’m so young, yet..."
Shen Rong’s arm froze as he hugged her.
Chiang Qing noticed keenly, her heart sinking further, the tornado of grief and resentment growing fiercer as she said, "I just went to see if there’s anything wrong, since I’ve injured my body before!"
"What did the doctor say?" Shen Rong asked, pretending to be calm.
"The doctor didn’t say much, just told me to take care and not overthink things, to let it happen naturally," Chiang Qing said, her voice faint.
Shen Rong assumed she was unhappy, so he said, "That’s how it should be. Children are something that should happen naturally, don’t overthink it. Even without children, what’s yours won’t be lessened in the slightest!"
His words sound better than a song, Chiang Qing stifled a scream within her heart, lifted her head, looked at him, and asked, "Do you really think this way?"
"Hm?"
"If I were to give you a child, would you be just as happy?" Chiang Qing glared at him, questioning.
Shen Rong’s gray-white eyebrows furrowed, emotions brewing in his eyes.
Chiang Qing understood clearly, so she looked down again, leaned back into his chest, and said dispiritedly, "I’m afraid I can’t give birth!"
With your scheming, I can’t give birth!
