บท 16: I Won’t Fall In Love With You
บรรณาธิการ: EndlessFantasy Translation
Jin Xue glanced at Zhang Baochan with suspicion.
Despite the turmoil in her heart, she reluctantly took the medicine.
"Thank you, Mother!"
Zhang Baochan offered a faint smile. "It's good to see you've thought it through. Young people should avoid impulsive decisions. I'm doing this for your own benefit and for the sake of the Jiang family. You heard what the old man said earlier. If you can't conceive, you have to continue taking the Chinese medicine. I hope you'll become pregnant soon and bring joy to the Jiang family."
Jin Xue's face darkened, but she suppressed her anger.
"Don't worry, Mother. Jiang Yu and I won't disappoint you. It wouldn't be so bad to give birth to the Jiang family's first great-grandson as soon as possible. As the saying goes, a mother's status is bestowed by her son."
Zhang Baochan's smile deepened, a glint of satisfaction in her eyes. "I'll be delighted if you can give birth to the Jiang family's first great-grandson. Jin Xue, start taking the Chinese medicine from tonight onwards. I'm confident there will be good news soon."
"I believe so too. I'll take the Chinese medicine as scheduled."
Zhang Baochan nodded and watched Jin Xue leave the room.
Drink it all. Drink more. Soon, you won't be able to conceive. Even if you become pregnant, you'll have a miscarriage!
A mother's status is bestowed by her son. But she didn't deserve it!
...
At the Pearl Lake Villa.
In the kitchen, Jin Xue opened a packet of medicine and poured its contents into the sink, washing them away with water.
Although she didn't consume it, the scent of the Chinese medicine made her nauseous. It was nothing short of torture.
Her anger ignited within her in an instant.
Discarding the scissors, she stormed towards the study.
"Jiang Yu, I've thought long and hard about this. This situation is suffocating me. I'm afraid I'll die of frustration before getting pregnant. Why don't we get a divorce? I'll compensate you with three million yuan for the repairs."
Jiang Yu's expression shifted unpredictably.
Jin Xue felt uneasy under his gaze. "Jiang Yu, take your time to consider. I'm not pressuring you for an immediate answer."
Without uttering a word, Jiang Yu exuded an aura of assertiveness, advancing towards Jin Xue step by step.
Jin Xue instinctively retreated as Jiang Yu cornered her against the wall.
Suddenly, Jin Xue's back pressed against the cold surface, a shiver running down her spine.
Jiang Yu leaned in, his hand against the wall, effectively trapping her.
His penetrating gaze locked onto her, making her feel uncomfortably vulnerable within the intimate proximity.
Jin Xue blinked, hesitating for a moment before speaking up.
"Jiang Yu, I'm concerned that I won't be able to handle your wealth. If this continues, I might truly succumb to depression. Even if I manage to survive, I'll only cause trouble for your family. Besides, they don't like me. By staying with you, I'd be a source of constant trouble. It's not unreasonable for me to consider your well-being. I'm doing this for your own good."
Jiang Yu's thin lips parted slightly, his voice devoid of warmth. "Mrs. Jiang, have you forgotten the terms of our agreement so quickly? What's going through your mind? It's clearly written in black and white that you can only propose a divorce after one year of marriage!"
Shock widened Jin Xue's eyes.
Jiang Yu's words jogged her memory, reminding her of the additional stipulation in the agreement.
However, she had reached a point where she couldn't bear any more hardships and didn't want to live under constant scrutiny.
"Jiang Yu, let me go!"
"You've only been married for two days, and you're already seeking a divorce. Are you still holding onto your ex-boyfriend? Do you want to be with him forever?"
Jiang Yu's words brushed against Jin Xue's lips as he leaned closer, a bitter edge to his sensual lips.
His voice was low and hoarse, piercing her heart like an icy blade.
Infuriated, Jin Xue retorted defiantly, "Yes, Jiang Yu, you're right. Gu Zhou still holds a place in my heart. I won't fall in love with you."
