Chapter 439: Chapter 449: This Woman is Poisonous
Sister Yi hurried to get the medical kit while Lin Yixun just glanced indifferently at Leng Yixiu’s right hand and went upstairs in her slippers. She did not come down even at dinner time.
At the dining table, the man’s right hand was already bandaged, but he hadn’t touched his chopsticks. Seeing this, Sister Yi knew he was waiting for Lin Yixun. She felt somewhat uneasy. She had gone upstairs twice, each time returning fruitlessly. Given Lin Yixun’s personality, it seemed she wouldn’t be coming down for dinner.
"Sir, would you like me to take her dinner upstairs?"
"Why deliver it to her? If she doesn’t want to eat, then she won’t eat!"
"This..." Seeing Leng Yixiu’s stern face, Sister Yi hesitated, but couldn’t help but say a few more words, "Sir, Miss Lin is pregnant now. Even if the adult can handle not eating, it’s ultimately not good for the child in her belly. The child is still small and needs nutrition; it can’t withstand the stress."
As soon as Sister Yi finished speaking, she saw the man abruptly get up from his seat, taking swift steps out of the dining room.
Sister Yi stood there in a daze, unable to react for a moment. She thought she had seen Mr. Leng leave with a tray in his hand. Was she seeing things?
The man carried the tray straight to the master bedroom, kicking the door open without even knocking.
With a loud bang, Lin Yixun saw Leng Yixiu storming towards her with a tray. He threw the tray in front of her and said coldly, "Eat it!"
Lin Yixun glanced indifferently at the food on the tray, slowly raised her eyes, and curled her lips mockingly, "Why should I eat it?"
"Lin Yixun, throwing a tantrum with me does you no good."
"Heh... I’m not throwing a tantrum with you. Throwing a tantrum is something that happens between married couples or lovers. What are we? At most, we’re just a pair of despicable lovers. So, this child can’t be born. If born without legitimacy, it will be ridiculed and looked down upon for life!"
"I won’t let you talk like that!" The man paused and added, "I will give you and the child legitimacy. My engagement with Cheng Ying has been called off. If you mind our current relationship, we can get married anytime."
"Marry?" Lin Yixun seemed to hear a big joke, "Do you think I care? Leng Yixiu, I got burned by you once, and I don’t want to suffer a second time."
Seeing the man’s thin lips tightly pressed together and his face not looking good, Lin Yixun decided to ignore him. She glanced at the tray on the bedside table, "Take it away; I won’t eat it."
She did not want Leng Yixiu to get his way, and indeed, she couldn’t eat. The nausea from pregnancy was becoming apparent these days. She remembered her mother telling her that during her own pregnancy, the nausea lasted almost from the beginning to the end of the term. And it seemed that she too was having a hard time recently.
Thinking of her mother, the tragic scene of her mother’s death flashed in Lin Yixun’s mind, causing her heart to ache deeply. Her mother had committed suicide after knowing she was with Leng Yixiu. What right did she have to let the enemy’s child live in this world!
Lin Yixun felt a sharp pain in her eyes. She turned away from Leng Yixiu, not letting him see her weakness and sorrow. But to the man, this reaction meant something else.
To Leng Yixiu, her turning away was due to loathing him, not wanting to see him.
This realization made the man’s heart ache fiercely. The more he hurt, the more he refused to accept it. Why should only he feel the pain while Lin Yixun remained so indifferent?
This sense of unfairness suddenly made the man violent.
Lin Yixun thought Leng Yixiu would leave angrily like before but felt a sudden pain in her shoulder. In an instant, she was dragged off the bed by the man, looking straight at a gloomy face.
Overhead, the man’s icy voice said, "Lin Yixun, what if I insist on you eating this today?"
"I don’t want to eat. Won’t eat. Could you force-feed me?" Her shoulder was being painfully squeezed, but Lin Yixun didn’t give in.
The man suddenly narrowed his eyes dangerously, his lips curling slightly, "You got it right, I do plan to force-feed you today!"
With that, the man grabbed Lin Yixun’s jaw, forcing her mouth open. He then picked up a piece of beef from the tray, forcing it into her mouth.
Lin Yixun’s stomach was already uncomfortable, and at the smell of the beef, her stomach churned violently, making her feel like vomiting.
She struggled, pushing him, "Let go, Leng Yixiu, let go of me!"
But she was too weak to move him, and he continued to force the food into her mouth.
The man’s eyes were fierce, commanding coldly, "Swallow it!"
"Mmm... Leng Yixiu, I’m... uncomfortable!"
Enraged, Leng Yixiu thought Lin Yixun was just throwing a tantrum and didn’t notice her face turning paler by the second.
With her stomach feeling terrible and her shoulder locked in place, the man showed no sign of giving up. She had no choice but to move her throat and force herself to swallow the food.
Just as the food went down, her stomach began to spasm violently. The next moment, everything she had eaten was vomited all over Leng Yixiu.
Seeing the man in such a mess, Lin Yixun felt a twisted satisfaction. She looked up at Leng Yixiu, smiled weakly, "I told you I felt sick, but you didn’t believe me."
Lin Yixun was clearly smiling, but as she smiled, tears began to fall. This man had always forced her—forced her to divorce, forced her to come back to him, and now forced her to bear his child.
It seemed he never considered her feelings from the beginning to end.
Lin Yixun’s lower abdomen began to ache sharply. Instinctively she covered her belly, feeling as if the little life inside her was slipping away.
Her gaze slowly lowered to see a shocking red stain spreading on her pants.
With a weak smile, she realized this was the best outcome. She wouldn’t have to take action herself, wouldn’t have to bear the guilt of killing her own flesh and blood. But why did her heart feel like it was being sliced open, the pain unbearable?
At this moment, she admitted her true feelings. Deep down, she cared about this child.
Lin Yixun slowly shifted her gaze back to the man before her and said weakly, "See, you couldn’t keep this child after all."
Leng Yixiu froze for two seconds. Only then did he realize the seriousness of the situation when he saw Lin Yixun’s pale face and the shocking bloodstains on her pants.
