Chapter 301, contract 16

Machine Translation

"This is because... because although Qin Sheng and I have been apart for years, we've always been in contact," Chu Xia stammered.

Sikong Jue lowered his eyes. "Always in contact? Gong Mochen has been looking for her for years, but he still couldn't find her. How did you find her?"

Chu Xia's heart skipped a beat. "I didn't contact Qin Sheng. She contacted me. By the way, why should I tell you this? Open the car, I want to get out!"

She quickly changed the topic. All she wanted to do was run away.

"Chu Xia, if I had let you give birth to that child, would you have chosen to be with me?" Sikong Jue's gaze was fixated on the woman beside him.

Chu Xia's mind was blank. It was as white as snow, as if the power had been cut off. There was no way for her to think.

She never expected that Sikong Jue would ask this question. If he had agreed to marry her back then and let her give birth to the child, she knew that things would have been different between them.

When her thoughts returned, she sneered and said, "Sikong Jue, don't you think your question is stupid? There are no ifs in this world. There never have been."

She turned to look at the man and met his gaze. "Don't forget, you were the one who poured the abortion medicine into my mouth and made me swallow. You made the medicine yourself, so you should know the effects, right?

"That child is gone, and there will never be another. We are strangers, and we will never be friends. Actually, I want to thank you for letting me know that men are the most unreliable people in this world, and love can not be fantasized about!

"The silly girl who begged you to marry her back then is gone. I am Sunshine, the famous designer!"

She spoke in a bitter voice. There were many things that she couldn't just let go of easily.

She thought that if there really was an 'If' , then she would definitely not go and have a drink with this man. She would definitely not let herself meet him!

Sikong Jue's heart turned cold. His brows down, squashing his eyes into slits. The mention of that child was like opening the deepest scar in his heart.

Even now, he couldn't forget the way Chu Xia glared at him. That kind of visceral hatred would often appear in his dreams.

The corners of his lips were stiff. What right did he have to make this woman accept him again?

He didn't open the car door. Instead, he started the car and drove straight to the resort.

"Sikong Jue, are you going to let me out of the car or not? If you don't let me out of the car, I'm going to jump out of the window!" Chu Xia shouted angrily. She felt that she might suffocate if she was with this man for a minute longer!

Her mind kept repeating Sikong Jue's questions. Was he suspecting Jian Jian's identity?

"I'll send you to the resort. You don't have to jump out of the window," said Sikong Jue.

Chu Xia was so angry that she turned her head to the side and stopped talking. She was worried that Sikong Jue would continue to ask about Jian Jian, so she didn't continue speaking. When the car stopped, she immediately got out and didn't stop for a minute.

Sikong Jue didn't get out of the car to look for Qin Sheng. Instead, he turned the car around and drove away.

Chu Xia looked at the man who drove away with a serious expression. It was clear that he wasn't here to tell Qin Sheng about Jian Jian's illness. He'd clearly driven her here to ask her about Jian Jian's condition and identity...

In the next moment, she turned around and ran to find Qin Sheng.

"Qin Sheng!" She ran into a small building. Qin Sheng was in the filming location of their indoor scene.

She ran in and grabbed Qin Sheng.

Qin Sheng looked at the bustling Chu Xia and was shocked. "What happened to you? Did something happen to Jian Jian?"

"Nothing bad has happened to him, but please come with me quickly!" Chu Xia grabbed Qin Sheng and pulled her off the set.

Qin Sheng quickly ran out with Chu Xia. In the quiet corridor, she grabbed Chu Xia.

"Let's talk about it then. Tell me quickly, what happened to Jian Jian?" Thinking of that little boy, she was more nervous than anyone else.

"He's fine, but I don't know if he'll be fine in the future," Chu Xia said quickly.

"What exactly happened? Tell me clearly!" Qin Sheng asked.

"Sikong Jue might have suspected Jian Jian's identity. Today, he asked me how I knew your friend, because your friend died two years ago and I haven't seen you for four years. How did I know him? We need to come up with a good explanation just in case!" Chu Xia said.

Qin Sheng pursed her lips. "Oh no, I forgot about that! The identity that I chose to make up for Jian Jian was that his parents died two years ago. So, Sikong Jue asked about them? He wanted details? D*mn...

"I figured if it was two years ago, Jian Jian was only two or three years old. He could have completely forgotten about his parents. That way, Sikong Jue wouldn't be able to verify the situation with Jian Jian."

The glaring problem was that she didn't contact Chu Xia before she returned to the country, and Jian Jian's parents were supposedly her and Chu Xia's friends. This didn't make sense...

"What should we do now? If he suspects, he will investigate. He will definitely give Jian Jian a DNA test." The more Chu Xia thought about it, the more afraid she became. A DNA test could explain everything!

Qin Sheng bit her lips lightly. "I'll go look for Gong Mochen. He must have a way to find out if Sikong Jue ordered a DNA test."

"Then go find him quickly. You can't let Sikong Jue know. Otherwise, what will he do to Jian Jian?" Chu Xia was uncertain.

Shen Tong didn't know Jian Jian's identity, and she doted on Jian Jian. If Shen Tong knew that Jian Jian was her fiancé's illegitimate child, would Shen Tong accept him?

How could a woman accept her fiancé's child if the child was conceived because their fiancé cheated on them?

"Don't worry, I'll go find him now. Gong Mochen can do anything!" Qin Sheng comforted Chu Xia and then left the resort quickly.

Chu Xia was hesitating whether to follow when she heard someone calling her from behind.

"Chu Xia! Are you here to visit? How thoughtful."

A pair of man's arms hugged her from behind.

Chu Xia turned around and saw Ming Tai.

"Are you done filming?" she asked in reply.

"Yes, I'm done filming. Is your boyfriend awesome?" Ming Tai asked.

Chu Xia frowned. How could he praise himself like that?

"Yes, you're awesome. I have something to do, so I need to leave." She raised her hand and held the man's arm.

"Thank you! I also think I'm awesome, but you've made a mistake about something..." Ming Tai took out his phone and showed it to the woman "My dear, you seem to have said that my size is too short. However, I didn't expect your satisfaction level to be so high."

He deliberately ridiculed Chu Xia. Both of them had never done it before, but she actually replied to his fans like this. He didn't care about the publicity, as it gave him a chance to flirt with the little woman.

Chu Xia's face instantly turned red. "No, I didn't write that. Someone must have sent it in my name! Wait for me to ask Qin Sheng!"

Ming Tai's arms hugged Chu Xia tightly. "What do you need to ask her? Can she know my size? I think you should ask me if you want to know. Or we can have a real shot..."

Chu Xia sucked in a breath of cold air. "No need, I don't want to know. If you feel that something is wrong, you can correct it yourself!"

"My fans were asking you, not me. They like to see us being sweet and cuddly. You said you like to play in the wild. I see the scenery by the lake is lovely. Let's go and take a look..."
