Chapter 438: Revised: Chapter 451 Look, this child, after all, cannot be kept
"Give me the medicine!"
Lin Yixun rushed forward trying to grab the medicine from the man’s hand, but he caught her wrist and pushed her against the wall.
"Do you hate this child that much?" The man clutched her throat with one hand while the other was cushioning her lower back.
"Yes, I hate it! I wish I could kill it right now!"
"But it’s your child too! Are you so heartless that you want it dead? There’s a saying, even a tiger won’t eat its cubs, you..."
"A tiger won’t eat its cubs?" Lin Yixun laughed coldly. "Are you saying I’m worse than a beast? Yes, I’m heartless. But that’s better than giving birth to a bastard!"
The man’s gaze suddenly sharpened like a knife, as if he wanted to peel the flesh from Lin Yixun’s face. "What did you say? Say it again!"
"I said, it’s a bastard, a bastard!"
As soon as Lin Yixun said this, a cold gleam flashed in the man’s eyes. The next moment, his fist came flying towards her face.
Leng Yixiu was trained in martial arts. Last time, he only used seventy percent of his strength, and Lin Yixun barely took it. This time, he was using his full strength. If this punch landed on her face, she might end up disfigured or even lose most of her life.
However, Lin Yixun showed no fear. On the contrary, she felt a sense of relief at the moment he struck.
Let it be, she thought. If she died, she and the child would be free. It was better than becoming the executioner of her own flesh and blood.
A gust of wind brushed past her cheek, followed by a loud bang, but the pain she was expecting never came.
Her vision gradually focused, and she realized the man’s fist had landed on the cold wall beside her.
The man withdrew his fist, leaving a glaring bloodstain on the wall. She could imagine how much force he had used.
That punch seemed to drain all of Leng Yixiu’s strength. He lowered his arms dejectedly, his face ashen, and said in a low voice, "No matter how much you hate me, no matter what you do to me, I can overlook it. But this child... no matter how much you hate me, you shouldn’t kill this child!"
His voice suddenly choked. He took a deep breath, fixed his gaze on Lin Yixun, and spoke slowly, "Could you, for the child’s sake as well, keep it? As long as you keep it, I’ll agree to any condition you want. Even if you want to leave and pursue your freedom, I’ll let you go."
In Lin Yixun’s impression, Leng Yixiu had always been cold and domineering. He did everything according to his own will, never considering others’ feelings.
But the things he said just now, his demeanor, were so humble. Her heart trembled violently. Such an arrogant person would stoop so low for a child.
Does he want this child that much?
Lin Yixun’s hand involuntarily touched her lower abdomen, her heart a whirl of mixed emotions. However, thinking about how her parents died indirectly because of this man, her heart turned cold again.
She couldn’t afford to be soft-hearted. This man didn’t deserve her sympathy!
If she believed Leng Yixiu’s nonsense at this moment, that would be truly pathetic. She knew well his calculations. The reason he cherished this child was to use it as leverage to keep her by his side.
When the child was born, even if she wanted to leave, she wouldn’t be able to escape due to the child’s bond.
She wouldn’t be so foolish to let herself become Leng Yixiu’s tool by keeping the child. Otherwise, neither she nor the child would ever escape from his control.
Instead of letting the child suffer after coming into this world, it was better to end it before it even had a chance to be born.
After a long time, Lin Yixun’s cold voice echoed in the living room, "I will fight for my own freedom, and I won’t want this child! Leng Yixiu, you can stop me once, but can you stop me every time?"
Lin Yixun gently stroked her flat lower abdomen, chuckling, "If I don’t want this child, even if I don’t go to the hospital or take abortion medicine, I can easily make it disappear from this world. You know it’s very fragile."
"I won’t let that happen," the man said in a deep voice.
"Are you so sure?" Lin Yixun said eerily. "You know, even in this house, without stepping outside, accidents happen."
"Lin Yixun, you can try," the man’s eyes became dangerous, his handsome face close to hers. "If anything happens to this child, I won’t let you off!"
"Would you tear me to pieces? I’d be glad if you did."
"I know," the man suddenly gripped her chin tightly, his sharp eyes locking onto her face. "Don’t worry, I won’t touch you. But as for certain others, I can’t promise."
Lin Yixun knew exactly who Leng Yixiu meant by "certain others," her face changing instantly. "You wouldn’t dare!"
"Watch me, Lin Yixun. If you want to go crazy, I’ll go crazy with you, even if it costs my life," Leng Yixiu said.
Lin Yixun was trembling with anger. She raised her hand and slapped him hard. "Leng Yixiu, besides threatening me, what else can you do?"
The man’s handsome face turned to the side, tasting blood on his lips. Yet he did not get angry. He merely tugged his lips bitterly and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Threatening? If there were any other way, why would I choose this?"
Leng Yixiu had never stooped to threatening others, but he did it again and again because he had no other choice.
The commotion in the living room soon reached Sister Yi. She had been upstairs cleaning, and when she heard the arguing, she knew something was wrong. She left the vacuum cleaner and hurried downstairs.
She instinctively glanced at Lin Yixun, seeing her unharmed, and breathed a sigh of relief. Hearing the commotion earlier, she had feared that Mr. Leng might have done something drastic to Lin Yixun.
As the tension in her heart was about to ease, she noticed Leng Yixiu’s bleeding hand and couldn’t help but gasp, "Mr. Leng, how did your hand get injured?!"
"Sister Yi, I’m fine." The man showed no expression, his gaze still locked on Lin Yixun.
"You’re bleeding so much, how can you be fine?"
