126: I'm going to have a child and let you father and son kill each other. - The Rich Second-Generation Villain With No Morals
But perhaps Qi Lin had bullied her too harshly before. Thinking about the myriad of offenses Qi Lin had committed against her, Qi Xue Yao's previously muddled mind suddenly cleared up. She bit down on her silvery teeth, her beautiful eyes flashing with a mix of shame and anger. "If you had pursued from start to finish, perhaps I would've believed your lies, but look at what you've done to me!" "Not only did he steal my first kiss, but he also threatened me every day. Now that things are better, he even has me pregnant before marriage." "I'd rather kill you than marry you—keep dreaming." The emotions of a pregnant woman seemed to shift rapidly. As she spoke, Qi Xue Yao felt a pang of guilt, remembering how her life had spiraled into misery ever since crossing paths with Qi Lin. A tear rolled down her cheek. She wiped away her tears, got up from Qi Lin's side, and silently went upstairs. Watching Qi Xue Yao's cold departing silhouette, Qi Lin touched his nose. "Solid proof this time—she's really pregnant with my child." "Pregnant women tend to be overly sentimental. Just a few words and they get emotional?" "Alright, from now on, I won't use words to provoke her. According to a medical journal, excessive crying and distress during pregnancy might result in children being born with autism." "I definitely don't want the Qi family's precious baby to face such hardships from the moment they are born." Shaking his head, Qi Lin went upstairs to take a shower. After showering, Qi Lin didn’t return to his room but instead went to Qi Xue Yao's room. "Bastard, what do you want now? I'm pregnant—how could you still bully me? Are you even human?" Seeing Qi Lin, Qi Xue Yao immediately erupted with anger, her beautiful eyes reddening as she threw a pillow at him, which struck him directly. Qi Lin caught the pillow casually, then carried it over to Qi Xue Yao, softly coaxing her to lie down. Gently, he caressed her small belly. Although it was still flat without any signs of pregnancy, he mysteriously produced a fairy tale book with his other hand. With a gentle smile and meeting Qi Xue Yao’s piercing glare, Qi Lin said, "Let's listen to a bedtime story; it will make our baby smarter in the future." This sentence momentarily froze her expression, leaving her stunned. She had thought this rascal had gone mad, not even sparing her when she was pregnant. After a while, she realized Qi Lin just wanted to tell a story to the baby inside her. Blushing, Qi Xue Yao almost kicked Qi Lin off the bed but stopped herself. Picking up the mother bear, she cautiously leaned back against the pillow. She had made up her mind: if Qi Lin tried anything, she would immediately wake up Fang Yuan Yuan, who was asleep, to help deal with this rascal. However, if Qi Lin was just speaking, she would pretend not to notice. After all, Qi Lin was also the father of the child inside her. Telling stories to their little baby could be seen as atonement for his past misdeeds. "Once upon a time, there lived a handsome, dashing prince in a castle. One day, a beautiful girl moved into the castle. She was the prince's distant cousin. This cousin had a proud and aloof nature." Qi Lin began narrating a fairy tale of his own creation with a magnetic voice. Initially, Qi Xue Yao lay with her eyes closed, listening intently. But as the story progressed, something felt amiss. Isn't this exactly the story of her and Qi Lin? "Qi Lin, if you're going to tell a story, make sure you tell it properly. Aren't you afraid you'll be a bad influence on the child?" Feeling awkward, Qi Xue Yao sat up again, glaring at Qi Lin. "Come on, come on, letting our baby listen to mom and dad's love story is wonderful, isn't it? Why the fuss?" "Just lie back, listen properly, and don't get all riled up, or you'll disturb the baby. Be careful, or I'll spank you~" Qi Lin picked up Qi Xue Yao, who was wearing a nightgown. Having been snatched away by Qi Lin and now pregnant, her stunning beauty carried a touch of a mature woman's charm, her brow exuding serenity, and she radiated a maternal glow. Thinking of Qi Lin's threat to spank her, Qi Xue Yao's eyes showed a hint of embarrassment. But in the end, she didn't move, lying in Qi Lin's embrace while listening to his dark fairy tale. It was perhaps the most secure sleep Qi Xue Yao had ever had, not having to worry about Qi Lin trapping her or bullying her. Instead, the villain she once loathed with a passion was now telling stories to her and their unborn baby. Qi Xue Yao drifted off peacefully, a faint smile playing on her lips. Once she was asleep, Qi Lin chuckled, setting down the fairy tale book, planting a gentle kiss on her still dry lips, and settled her back onto the pillow. He took out several of the heroine's diaries to see if there was anything to attend to tomorrow. First, was the diary of Qi Xue Yao, who had now officially been promoted to senior sister-in-law. No choice—everyone had been redeemed by Qi Lin; with her being pregnant, being the main wife served a purpose. Lan Yuxi could only blame herself for being too clever and missing the prime opportunity to become the senior sister-in-law. "October 8, 2022." “Boohoo, I hate that jerk Qi Lin for treating me so well. Last night, he even told me stories to help me sleep." "For a moment, I really felt like we were family. He's my childhood sweetheart cousin, and I'm his virtuous wife~" "But pffft! After what he did, I'll never forgive him in this lifetime. Who would willingly be his wife?" “I'm still worried, feeling anxious about being pregnant, and yet worried I’m not." “If I'm pregnant, should I really give that jerk Qi Lin a chance to atone?" “If I’m not pregnant, should I continue to hate him and see him as the enemy?” “But really, thinking about it is useless. I should just go to the pharmacy and buy a pregnancy test.” "Oh dear, why did I run into Jiang Lei there?" "It's no longer a secret; Jiang Lei found out about my buying a pregnancy test." "He asked if Qi Lin bullied me. If he did, Jiang Lei would immediately confront him." "Should I blame myself for being a hot-tempered woman?" "Jiang Lei's eyes turned red as he said he never blamed me—it had to be Qi Lin bullying me without my permission." "He asked why I hadn’t told him earlier, why I hadn’t called the police." "Jiang Lei's love moved me, but I could only respond to his questions with silence." "I can’t understand why we didn’t just call the police, or when Qi Lin was asleep, take a knife to him." "I’m in a chaotic state, unable to admit I still have some feelings for that jerk, Qi Lin." "Jiang Lei wants me to go to the hospital to terminate the pregnancy. I told Jiang Lei there's only three to four days left—how could the baby be formed?" "Moreover, there was a sentence in my heart I didn't express—even if the baby is formed, I don't want to go to the hospital and terminate it." "I admit I hate Qi Lin, but the child in my belly is innocent. I don't want my first child to die before even seeing the world due to adult grudges." "I'm terrified of dreams where that child comes to me, asking, 'Mommy, don’t you love me anymore? I wanted so much to come into this world, to see what you look like, to hear you call my name, but, why did you want to kill me?’" "I don’t want to have such nightmares." "Though Jiang Lei doesn’t want me to visit the hospital, he wants me to buy contraceptives." "I told Jian Lei that contraceptives are only effective within 48 hours, and it’s already beyond that." "Besides, I don’t even know if I’m really pregnant yet. Taking contraceptives harms my body. Does he see me as no longer pure, or does he actually love me?" "Jiang Lei was speechless at my words and didn't mention abortion or contraceptives again." "Jiang Lei said these turbulent days are ending soon, and I won’t be bullied anymore. After resolving things with Qi Lin, he would take me away." "Previously, hearing this would have made me happy, but now, hearing Jiang Lei's words leaves me panicked." "Has the final moment truly come? With two men fighting over me, what should I do?" "Most importantly, should I tell Qi Lin about this matter?" That marked the end of Qi Xue Yao's diary entry. Judging by the length of this entry, one could see the manifold layers of Qi Xue Yao’s heart, and the intensity of her mental struggle. Qi Lin’s series of actions were gradually elevating his status in Qi Xue Yao’s heart. Now, he had even surpassed Jiang Lei in her eyes, as she chose not to terminate the pregnancy, using various reasons to refuse Jiang Lei’s requests. She was fundamentally unwilling to witness a conflict between Jiang Lei and Qi Lin. Especially the last line—it clearly indicated her shift in perspective; Qi Lin was supposed to be the enemy she loathed with every fiber, yet she pondered whether to tell him about Jiang Lei’s intentions. In the end, women are indeed emotional creatures. Since carrying Qi Lin’s child, every one of her actions seemed to inherently favor Qi Lin. "Indeed, a worthy senior sister-in-law. I'll use your heart to protect our child. From now on, I’ll view you as more than just a plaything—I’ll elevate you to girlfriend status." Qi Lin praised Qi Xue Yao's attitude with a smile. After all, once the children were born, their mother couldn't just be a plaything. That would surely have detrimental effects on the child's mental and emotional development. Of course, this statement didn’t imply Qi Lin had lost his ruthlessness. It simply meant Qi Xue Yao had chosen the right path, and these were her rightful rewards. If she had remained as fixated as in her past life, determined to kill the child and escape into darkness with Jiang Lei, Qi Lin wouldn't have hesitated to end their journey together once the game was over. Setting down Qi Xue Yao's diary, Qi Lin turned to Qiu Yuelin's diary. "October 8, 2022." "I have no appetite today; probably because Qi Lin took away my innocence." "Oh, heavens, am I pregnant?" "Boohoo, though I've never held hands with my future husband, I was bullied by that bastard Qi Lin. My life is ruined." "Should I tell my mom about this? Should I go to the hospital for a checkup?" “No way! Why go to the hospital?” “I want to keep this child!” “No amount of revenge against Qi Lin can make up for anything. Even if it eases the hatred in my heart, it won’t hurt Qi Lin in the slightest.” “Incredible Twins’ double palace hosts, how do you perform?” “If you both don’t love me, I’ll let your two sons destroy each other.” “I want to do the same—have the child, and then let him know Qi Lin is his father’s enemy.” “When he grows up, he can take revenge against Qi Lin.” Reading this, Qi Lin couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine, both amused and bewildered. “This girl has issues, doesn’t she? I never did anything to her; it was just her period, and now she's holding a grudge for mistakenly thinking I harmed her?” “Claiming I took your purity—imagine you were actually pregnant. Smart as you are, how do you not realize you're just imagining things?” “Indeed, a woman’s heart can be venomous. She plans to pit me against my own child.” “Back then, Qi Xue Yao was far tougher to deal with. Now, can't you just be content nurturing my future child at home? And here you are, a naïve little thing, dreaming of pitting me against an unborn child.” “When the time comes, I’ll let you start a football team; you’ll be too busy nursing to do anything scandalous. Let’s see how you’d even fathom harming your husband then.” A faint smile formed at Qi Lin’s lips as he contemplated her plan. “Having me clash with my son—that’s over the top. But also, I shouldn’t let her get away so easily.” “You love drinking from my cup, don’t you? Today, I’ll spike it with laxatives and let you experience the aftermath.” “When the time comes, embarrassing you in school by soil your pants, let’s see how many girls are still interested in you.” And with that, Qiu Yuelin’s diary entry concluded. Qi Lin felt a chill run through him. Even if this were your sister, such an act is far more brutal than any physical harm. If his pants truly betrayed him at school, he’d face social suicide. But. “Hey, if you dare write this in your diary, how do you still plan on carrying it out?” “So, perhaps it’s better to have your little crush Hu Bing drink that spiked water instead. I’d love to see his expression standing there, pants stained, before so many teachers and school officials.” Lastly, Qi Lin opened Chen Shuyi’s diary. “October 8, 2022.” “You deceitful bastard, tricked me into signing all sorts of crazy contracts and made me your secretary.” “Didn’t you ask me to bring you tea and water? Today, I’ll make you taste wasabi.” "Hmph! You won’t find the wasabi when I’ve mixed it into your coffee." "After you drink, I’ll capture your embarrassed face on camera, and make sure you live that down every day." Chen Shuyi's diary ended there. Qi Lin paused. “What’s going on with these girls? Are they edging closer to the dark side?” “Every day, they plot to punish me, yet they're the real malicious ones. What do they expect me to do?” Qiu Yuelin wanted to dose him with laxatives—he wouldn’t let it slide. Now, Chen Shuyi planned to lace his coffee with wasabi. It seemed the villain in his tale was truly popular, for all these heroines thought about him endlessly every day. “If you girls want to play tricks, then don’t blame me, the great villain, for showing no mercy.” Qi Lin closed all the diaries, stars glimmering in his dark eyes. "Brother Qi Lin, my brother's now so scary, thinking of me as an enemy. I'm afraid he'll hurt me." The next morning, Qi Lin drove to Wang Cheng's house to pick up Wang Siling. Wang Cheng, having been punished and knocked out by their father, had fainted after spending the night kneeling, making him unable to attend school today. Wang Cheng’s downfall was exactly as Qi Lin had foreseen. His and Wang Siling’s fallout was something Qi Lin eagerly awaited. Qi Lin gently patted Wang Siling’s hair, offering a soft smile: “If you fear your brother harming you, there’s only one surefire solution: leave him half-alive or entirely dead. Which do you choose?” "Rest assured, I’ll not only be your brother but also your Qi Lin dad. I will give you all the love you need; I’ll be the only family you have." Since Wang Cheng no longer sees her as his dear sister, what options does she have? But she was rendered helpless and begged Qi Lin to spare Wang Cheng. Yet, Wang Cheng’s vicious gaze clearly aimed at her life. Her beautiful face turned ghostly pale, for she was, after all, a naive sixteen-year-old girl who’d never glimpsed society's shadows. "As long as Brother Qi Lin is with me, I'll do as you say." In the end, Wang Siling buried her face in Qi Lin’s embrace, crying. She knew that by uttering those words, she had effectively sentenced Wang Cheng to death. A flash of brilliance glimmered in Qi Lin's pitch-black eyes—he planned to make Wang Siling his plaything.
