My Dominant Contract Husband Won't Let Me Go

Chapter 786: If Life Were Just Like When First Met (12)

Even though it was still early, Gu Ningyi, this protective husband, absolutely refused to let Dong Xin Yan be a bridesmaid, fearing she might get hurt. Qin Qian also didn’t dare to take that risk, so she asked a colleague from her newspaper to be the bridesmaid instead.

On the eve of the wedding, Qin Qian held a bachelorette party, and she partied with great excitement. In the end, it was Dong Xin Yan who firmly dragged her back to the hotel room to prevent her from being too drunk to wake up tomorrow and missing the good timing.

Qin Qian was about seventy to eighty percent drunk, but she kept mumbling that she wasn’t drunk. Dong Xin Yan pressed her down onto the bed, glaring at her, "Behave yourself. If you drink any more, you’ll have to be carried to the wedding ceremony tomorrow."

Qin Qian chuckled twice, "I’ve already told you I’m not drunk."

Dong Xin Yan didn’t care about her protest, turned around, and went into the bathroom, coming out with a warm towel.

Qin Qian was already lying on her back on the bed, her big dark eyes staring blankly at the ceiling, lost in thought.

Dong Xin Yan walked over, sat beside her, and used the towel to gently wipe her face and lips.

Qin Qian slowly turned her face, her black eyes falling on Dong Xin Yan’s still-flat belly, staring fixedly. After a while, her hand trembled as she reached out, gently touching her abdomen.

Dong Xin Yan was slightly taken aback but didn’t stop her.

Qin Qian’s movements were very gentle, very tender, and the light in her eyes gradually lit up, then slowly disappeared, leaving an expanse of darkness. She curled her lips, but tears slid down.

"Xinxin, did you know? I also once... had a child."

Dong Xin Yan’s eyes widened slightly, full of surprise, "Wh-when was that?"

"Three years ago."

Three years ago... wasn’t that the year she broke up with Yuan Shen?

"And the child...?"

"I had it aborted."

Unconsciously, Dong Xin Yan’s hand covered her mouth, the light in her eyes incredibly astonished, her voice trembling a bit, "Because of... what?"

"Because..."

Qin Qian blinked, her tears flowing more fiercely, soaking the bedsheet.

"An ectopic pregnancy, couldn’t keep it."

An ectopic pregnancy...

The astonishment in Dong Xin Yan’s eyes faded, replaced by deep sympathy. Even though she had just become a mother herself, she could understand the pain of being forced to separate from one’s flesh and blood.

"Does Yuan Shen know?"

Qin Qian suddenly let out a cold laugh, "He doesn’t know. All he knows is that I am ruthless, cruel, and malicious, and that I used our child to take revenge on his infidelity."

"And do you know the funniest thing? The funniest thing is that he actually wants me to accept the other woman’s child as my own, to compensate him with a child."

"These ten years, I loved him, never regretted it, but at that moment, I felt like I had loved the wrong person all along."

"Qianqian..."

"So, I won’t love him anymore. Let’s just treat the past ten years as a ridiculous, laughable dream. I’ve woken up from the dream."

Qin Qian sniffled, forcing a smile, "Xinxin, tell me, even without Yuan Shen, I will be happy, right? A man like that isn’t worth my attachment, right?"

She was clearly trying hard to smile, but her big eyes, clear as black and white, brimmed with tears.

Dong Xin Yan’s eyes reddened as well. She swallowed her sobs and nodded vigorously, "Yes, Qianqian, you will definitely be happy. Zhou Yi is a good man. He will treat you well, love you properly, and won’t let you be sad and hurt."
