C7 Taking a Step Back in Order to Advance

By the time Qin Mo returned to the Qin family, it was already late at night.

However, neither Qin Zhi nor Lee Wan was at home. Lee Wan had probably gone out to play with her little sisters, while Qin Zhi was probably having fun with some young and beautiful lover.

Qin Mo sneered.

After so many years, this "home" was still the same. There was no so-called warmth and peace, only coldness and indifference.

Qin Mo walked upstairs and entered his room.

On the soft bed, there was a thin figure.

Zhao Chun lay on her side and buried most of her face in the pillow.

Qin Mo walked closer and saw that Zhao Chun's face was still wet with tears. One of her hands was clutching the white pillow under her head, looking very anxious.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

Zhao Chun frowned, as if she had fallen into a nightmare. Her lips gradually turned white, losing their original color.

"Baby, I'm sorry, no, don't!"

With a hurried shout, Zhao Chun suddenly opened her eyes. The moment she propped herself up, crystal tears burst out of her eyes and rolled down her palm-sized face.

Zhao Chun took a deep breath, as if trying to calm her mind. Then she noticed Qin Mo beside the bed.

"Mo!"

Zhao Chun sobbed and called out to Qin Mo. She hugged Qin Mo and buried her face in his chest.

"What's wrong?"

Qin Mo asked, his voice cold and dissatisfied.

Thinking about what Zhao Chun had done today, Qin Mo was still a little angry. He was angry at Zhao Chun's recklessness, which had led to the current situation being difficult to resolve.

Zhao Chun noticed Qin Mo's change and was shocked in her heart. However, she did not show it on her face, but the grievance and sadness in her eyes became even stronger.

"Mo, I, I've thought about it."

Zhao Chun paused, as if she was forcing herself to make a decision before continuing.

"I will abort this child."

What? Qin Mo was surprised.

He pulled Zhao Chun away a little and looked at her tear-stained face. He asked, "What did you say?"

"I did not mean you to know of his existence, and I know that I am not worthy of you, and that to be with you is a mercy from heaven, and that I should not be greedy for anything else. However, this child came too suddenly and too pleasantly. I love him and I want to protect him."

Zhao Chun's pretty face was pale as a sheet. Her porcelain-like hands were placed on her abdomen, gently stroking it as if she was touching her beloved treasure.

"I don't want to ruin your relationship with Miss Su, but I don't think I have the right to. I just want this child to stay with his father for a while longer, a little longer, and then...

But, Miss Su came today, and I was very afraid. I panicked and spilled the beans. I'm sorry, Mo. I didn't do it on purpose."

As Zhao Chun spoke, tears fell again.

"I know that this child will bring you trouble. Mo, don't worry. I won't make things difficult for you. I will abort him."

Zhao Chun's eyes were filled with sadness as she looked at Qin Mo with determination.

A beauty's tears would always make people feel pity for her. Not to mention, she was such a pitiful beauty, yet she was thinking about him wholeheartedly.

Qin Mo's heart wavered.

His eyes looked at Zhao Chun's abdomen. It was still very flat. It was impossible to tell that a small life had already been born there.

It was a child that was connected to his flesh and blood!

Qin Mo's hand involuntarily reached for Zhao Chun's stomach and covered the back of her hand.

Only then did Qin Mo realize that Zhao Chun's hands were shaking so badly, but she didn't seem to notice it at all. She just gently stroked her stomach over and over again.

"Not long ago, I even imagined the scene after the child was born. If he is a boy, he will be as smart and handsome as you. If he is a girl, he will be cute and obedient. He will sweetly call me mother and your father. But now, it is all my fault. "

Zhao Chun used her other hand to wipe away the tears on her face and sobbed silently.

As he listened to Zhao Chun's description, a picture surfaced in Qin Mo's mind: a child carved out of white jade, with curved eyebrows, calling him "Dad."

Qin Mo could not help but tighten his grip on Zhao Chun's hand.

"Chun, what nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean you won't make things difficult for me? I won't allow you to do anything stupid."

Qin Mo gently patted the back of Zhao Chun's hand to comfort her.

"Mo?"

Zhao Chun looked at Qin Mo with tears in her eyes, as if she did not understand.

"Chun, this is our child. He will be born safely and grow up healthy. I'm still waiting for him to call me father."

Qin Mo's voice was filled with determination.

Qin Mo thought of the cold and quiet downstairs, and the warm scene that might appear after the child was born. He became even more determined to keep the child.

"But, Miss Su, if you keep this child, Miss Su will definitely make things difficult for you. Miss Su is rich and powerful. What if she used it to threaten you at that time?"

Zhao Chun's voice was filled with nervousness, as if she was very worried about Qin Mo.

If Su Mei was here, she would probably sigh. Zhao Chun was indeed a black-hearted white lotus that was good at scheming.

In just a few short sentences, she had been "applying ointment" nonstop. On the one hand, she showed her weakness and helplessness, her devotion to Qin Mo, and on the other hand, she secretly accused her, Su Mei, of bullying and forcing her.

Sure enough, when Qin Mo heard Zhao Chun's words and thought about how Su Mei wasn't willing to back down and insisted that he choose one of the two, he felt that Su Mei was overbearing and didn't think for him like Zhao Chun did.

"Chun, I will give you a title, but right now, I can't break off the engagement with Su Mei. Once the Su family withdraws their investment, the company will suffer a huge loss. I need time, do you understand? Calm down and wait for my good news. Don't act rashly, understand?"

Qin Mo told Zhao Chun his plan.

Zhao Chun was willing to abort the child and leave alone for him. She must have loved him to the extreme. Unlike Su Mei, who couldn't even take a step back for him.

So it was ridiculous and pathetic that in the eyes of some men it was not enough to love oneself, not to forgive oneself for cheating on you, not to help you raise a bastard.

"Really? Mo, can I really give birth to this child?"

Zhao Chun looked at Qin Mo with tears in her eyes, as if she couldn't believe what she had just heard.

This kind of pitifulness naturally made Qin Mo feel pity for her.

Qin Mo gently hugged Zhao Chun.

And in Qin Mo's chest, where he couldn't see, the corner of Zhao Chun's mouth curled up into a proud smile.
