48 Ch. 48 The Pregnancy (part 3)

“Meng Meng, you are overreacting. Even if I let it be born into this world, it will surely die. You do not forget what my profession, aren’t you? It would die sooner or later staying with a mother like me.”

“It? He’s a baby... or a she... At least he’s not a thing. Besides, we can find a way to protect him. What about his father? Aren’t you going to try to contact his father?”

Tsk! Calling that asshole? She’d rather die than contact the man.

She had agreed to the man’s proposal two months ago but chose to leave due to her work and loyalty to Master Yu.

Now Ling Meng told her to look for that man? Not a chance!

“That bastard is dead.” Anxia’s nonchalant answer made Ling Meng gape wide open.

“You... Did you kill him after that night? Are you lost your mind?”

Anxia rolled her eyes lazily, hearing Ling Meng’s conclusion blaming her again.

“Anyway, I don’t want this child. I don’t even want to raise it. I’m nineteen years old, for god sake. I wouldn’t be able to get moneyed boys if they found out I had kids.”

.....

“Why do you need to get rich boys?”

“For what else? Of course, to get avenge on that bitch.” Anxia replied as she took another can of beer to drink.

However, Ling Meng’s movements were faster, and she snatched the beer can from Anxia’s hands. She even removed all the beer on the table and threw it in the trash.

“Meng Meng, you are a pain in the ass. You know that?”

“Then you shouldn’t have summoned me here or placed a pregnancy test haphazardly.”

“Well, I’m starting to regret calling you here.”

“Good. If I didn’t know you were pregnant, I’d let you do whatever you wanted. But now I know, and I won’t let you do something you’ll regret.”

Anxia snorted sarcastically at her best friend’s last sentence. “I won’t regret it. What do I have to regret?”

Ling Meng decided not to speak anymore. She realized that Anxia would not take her advice at this time.

In the end, Ling Meng used her trump card.

“Anxia, ??do you remember when you said you owed me a favor?”

Anxia squinted her eyes, looking straight at her friend. What is this woman planning? Didn’t they discuss her pregnancy and her plan to abort the fetus? Why did the woman suddenly mention her debt?

Well, Anxia did owe Ling Meng her life. When she went on her first assassination mission, Anxia made a mistake that got her into the enemy’s trap.

Anxia was already surrounded by many people pointing guns at her. She had no way out because behind her was a dead end, while the right, left, and front was filled with her enemies.

Fortunately, Xuemin and Ling Meng arrived just in time and fired on everyone who surrounded her. But when she was careless, Anxia didn’t realize that someone was preparing to shoot her from behind.

At that time, only Ling Meng noticed the shooter’s movement, and her body immediately moved towards Anxia, and the bullet fired by the person shot through Ling Meng’s stomach.

If Ling Meng hadn’t come in time and pushed Anxia asied, the heavily injured Anxia might even die because her body was covered in wounds and she had already lost a lot of blood.

Since then, Anxia owed her life and swore if Ling Meng managed to live after the operation, Anxia would grant Ling Meng’s wish no matter how complex the request was.

If Ling Meng wanted her to leave this world, Anxia would shoot herself right then and there and would not think of any revenge plans.

After all, Ling Meng risked her life to protect her. She had never received this kind of protection, and to Anxia, ??Ling Meng was someone she could trust for the rest of her life.

Since Ling Meng recovered from the gunshot wound, Ling Meng had never asked for anything in return and completely ignored it when Anxia offered the wish.

But now Ling Meng had mentioned it out of the blue.

“I still remember it. Is there anything you want?”

“Yes. I wish you to give birth to your child healthy and leave the Luen group.”

Anxia’s pair of eyes widened upon hearing this. She was too shocked to be able to make a sound.

“I remember you once said you could lay down your life when I asked for it, but why can’t you afford this simple request of mine?”

“Your request is by no means simple. Leaving the Luen group will not be easy. Master Yu will come after me, and my life will be filled with escapism. I’d rather die right now than die from being hunted by my own master.”

“Hush! I don’t want your death.” Ling Meng immediately sat down next to Anxia and held her hand. “I will be with you to the end. I will help you erase all traces of us and escape from master Yu together.”

“Meng Meng, your real request is that you want to escape Master Yu’s clutch. Is it not? If so, you can tell me right away. I will help you without giving birth to a creature in my stomach.”

“Baby.” Ling Meng corrected the nickname for her friend’s child, which sounded unpleasant.

“Whatever. So?”

“No. I want to see you deliver the baby safely. Escape from master Yu’s grip is just a bonus.”

“Why do you want to see me give birth to this alien creature?”

“Baby Qiao Qiao, this creature is your baby.”

“Okay, okay. Then? Why do you want to see this thing... baby, so much?”

“You’ll understand someday. Aborting an innocent baby will only make you regret it for the rest of your life.”

Anxia shrugged nonchalantly. “I think it’s the same. If I were to regret taking a human life, I would cry pitifully every night.”

“Hhhh... so you won’t grant my wish?” Ling Meng was already desperate because she didn’t know how to stop her friend’s intention anymore.

She hoped that Anxia would change her mind and, over time, her friend would learn to love her own flesh and blood baby.
