Another Chance To Love - Chapter 95

Bai Jihai wondered, why did her actions look so familiar?

But Bingwen looked at the woman he loves with darkened eyes, allowing her to drape one of the coats she probably found in Jihai’s house over his shoulders. He felt a little troubled that this was one of her new tricks so that she could abort the baby behind his back so he didn’t let his guard down after a confused second. “What are you up to now, Menxiang?”

Menxiang saw the wary expression on her fiance’s face but all she did was to softly chuckle after she dropped the tea that she came with and said. “I am going to try my best not to feel offended with that question so I would be waiting for you outside when you two have finished talking. Let’s discuss this properly at home.”

The two men silently watched her leave the office with a calm expression but it was obvious that something had changed. Mo Bingwen turned to his friend and said. “Your fiancee is really something else. She has even learned how to plot schemes behind people’s back.”

Bai Jihai who had already put two and two together just smiled as he picked up the tea served by Menxiang and drank it. “Bingwen, it’s better she is behaving this way for the time being. That way, you two can be in amicable terms during her pregnancy term. I have already said that if you want her to give birth safely, you shouldn’t stress her at all. I think it’s okay if you give her another chance.”

It was clear that Mo Bingwen still wasn’t convinced at her sudden change of behaviour and it was even more confirmed when they both heard a sound coming behind the door which halted their conversation. Both men shared a look and subtly changed the topic, going back to their initial discussion about work.

Su Menxiang continued to eavesdrop on them for a little while until she was sure that they weren’t still talking about her before she exhaled softly in deflation, ignoring the spoon that had dropped from the tray she was holding. She really hoped that her best friend’s plan would work and she would be able to find the plant like they had planned or else she didn’t be know what she would do. She spared the door a final glance before she went downstairs to join her best friend who was patiently waiting for her. Tang Chunlan turned her head to the incoming sound and asked her. “Well, how did it go?”

Su Menxiang first handed the tray to the maid at the corner before she sat down with a dejected expression as she replied to her friend. “He seems very weary about my actions. I can see that he doesn’t trust me, are you sure that this is going to work?”

Tang Chunlan nodded as she chuckled, “At least, he is not indifferent. Don’t worry, everything will be okay if you follow my instructions to the letter. I am just concerned that you will be very impatient and take matters to your own hands. Menxiang, I must warn you. If you dare get rid of this baby, you will lose Bingwen forever so you must not be rash no matter what. Okay?”

Su Menxiang hummed obediently but she saw her friend holding her head in pain. She rushed to hold her. “Lan’er, what’s wrong?”

Tang Chunlan shook her head but that only aggravated the painful buzzing in her head as she rubbed her temple gently. “I don’t know. I just suddenly got this troublesome headache and it hurts so much.”

Su Menxiang opened her bag in order to get some medicine when her eyes strayed to a pot of plant on the table that wasn’t there before. Her eyes widened when she recognized it. She looked around to check if anyone was in the room apart from them but she couldn’t find anyone. She searched the blue flowers for any message but she also didn’t see anything. She told Chunlan as she picked up the pot of plant and walked outside. “Just take a deep breath and everything will be fine. Chunlan, I need to go out for a while. Please tell Bingwen that I will see him later, something came up.”

Su Menxiang drove out of her best friend’s house in a rush, speeding fast until she arrived in a quiet restaurant down a secluded street. This restaurant had been closed but she still opened the door and stopped in front of a man who had his back turned to her. She didn’t say anything but continued to stare at him with pained eyes as she stood.

At this moment, she felt so many emotions most of them were hatred, anger and pain. She actually didn’t hate the person in front of her but herself who was so helpless at the moment because she knew that she couldn’t rebuke the mastermind of her problem who was in front of her.

Her third brother, Su Ying Pei.

Many people thought that their family was fortunate since she and her first two brothers didn’t inherit the illness her father was suffering from but only they knew the real truth, what really happened.

At the age of 15, their third brother who was the only one who without the disease found a way to transfer all the toxins to his body and he did. He started with her when she had collapsed one morning and then managed to transfer the rest from his two brothers. That night, their father nearly died from sorrow when he found out what his last son had done.

But Su Ying Pei merely smiled as he reassured them. “One life is worth dying all three so it’s not a big loss. I am determined to find a way to break the curse of the royal poison in our Su family blood. Please make sure you cheer me by then.”

And ever since then, they had hardly seen him again. He had immersed himself in the study of different poisons as he researched how to cure the royal poison. She couldn’t believe that he had also found a way to use the poison to make other indestructible poisons, one of them which he used to poison her beloved. Even now, she didn’t have the heart to confront him about what he had done. She just felt so sad…

Su Ying Pei seemed to have noticed that he was no longer alone and his eyes filled with pleasant surprise when he saw his junior sister. “Menxiang, it’s good that you got my present. I wasn’t expecting you to get here so soon, I hope you were careful. Don’t forget you are pregnant.”

Immediately she heard him, she unconsciously wrapped her hands around her stomach but her actions went unnoticed by her brother who dragged a chair so she could sit down. They both sat down and watched the waiter bring in the food that he had already ordered before he spoke to her. “I just found out about your pregnancy yesterday. I also know that you are getting married to Mo Bingwen even though he is currently dying. I think we should look a better father for the baby you are carrying…..”
