Chapter 26: What's wrong with you? Get up quickly!

  "If you dare to cheat me, you know the price you should pay." Ling Han's eyes were wide with excitement, his hands grasping Dr. Shao's collar tightly, trembling. A pea-sized bead of sweat rolled down his handsome, elastic face.

  Nothing could reveal his shocked and excited mood at this moment.

  Du Shaohui and Lou Shu were also shocked, their mouths slightly agape. They stood there in a daze. What? Had they not misheard what the doctor had just said? Dr. Shao had said that Xi'er was pregnant.

  It's unbelievable. Han Shao, this icy and ruthless man, actually has a child now.

  Looking at Ling Han's exaggerated expression, looking at his eyes filled with shock, expectation and joy. Dr. Shao let out a deep sigh, shaking his head helplessly. His turbid eyes were filled with pain and regret. "Ling Han, if only I had known earlier, why bother now? Xi Er...”

  "How is she? Tell me quickly." Ling Han's pupils constricted, his eyes fixed intently on Dr. Shao. The buttons on his chest were not fully fastened, and beads of sweat trickled down from his neck into the hollow of his clavicle, which was sunken due to his labored breathing. His sturdy and resilient chest was covered in glistening sweat, shimmering with a subtle sensuality that seemed to emanate an aura of desolation.

  The creek actually had his child. He actually had a child. His heart was flying high at that moment. Unprecedented excitement suddenly reverberated in his mind. After the rapid excitement, he suddenly realized the current situation of the creek. The entire heart of Ling Han was tense. A sense of fear suddenly rose up.

  "The creek is calm, but the child can't be kept. I've done my best. The first three months of pregnancy are the most unstable time. There's always a risk of miscarriage. And she had been drinking too. Internally, she was stimulated, and externally, she suffered a huge impact..." Dr. Shao's eyes were filled with deep sorrow. He didn't pull away from Ling Han's grip on his hand. His voice, worn from years of experience, was laced with heavy regret.

  Boom.

  Like a thunderclap, it suddenly exploded above Ling Han's head, causing his tightly strung nerves to snap abruptly. The intense pain of the broken strings reverberated and amplified in his mind for an instant. His scarlet eyes froze, empty and hollow, in that moment. The pupils, like deep pools, were devoid of spirit for a fleeting instant. His handsome face suddenly stiffened, and even his breathing was momentarily stagnant.

  His hand, which had been gripping Dr. Shao's collar, suddenly went limp, like a snapped elastic string that had lost its tension. His entire body also slumped down instantly and he stumbled backward several steps, caught off guard.

  "Han Shao." Du Shaohui came back to his senses and quickly stepped forward to catch Ling Han's stumbling body.

  Looking at Ling Han's crumbling and painful appearance, Du Shaohui's heart suddenly ached.

  The child was born and then lost. This blow to Ling Han is really too great. Heaven seems to be playing a joke on him again, giving him the thrill and hope of flying into heaven one second, and then ruthlessly throwing him into hell the next. Hope came too suddenly and brought too much happiness. Disappointment was too painful. The torment of falling from heaven to earth in just one day is really too cruel.

  His child is gone...

  It was he who killed his own child...

  His pale and handsome face was as white as wax, haggard and painful with no vitality. Those deep eyes were empty and pitiful.

  That was his lineage, the life flowing with his blood. He hadn't even had time to listen to his breathing, listen to his heartbeat, feel his presence. He was just here a moment ago, slipping away in that crimson touch.

  At this moment, he was as calm as ever. Mount Tai could collapse in front of him and his expression wouldn't change. He had always been carefree and easy-going. Any matter in front of him was just a trivial thing. But suddenly, an intense pain arose in his heart, like countless invisible needles piercing his heart at the same time.

  Looking at Ling Han's appearance, Dr. Shao also felt uncomfortable in his heart. He sighed and comforted, "Han, don't be too sad. Xi'er is fine. You're still young. You can have more children in the future. As many as you want."

  The scene is too unexpectedly sad and painful. Lou Shu stands quietly on the side, speechless and silent. Who would have thought that a moment of impulsiveness and madness would lead to such severe consequences? Han Shao's child, who was born out of wedlock with a woman, was almost lost due to their impulsive and passionate actions.

  It seems that Du Shaohui was right after all. It's his uncle's fault for not stopping this absurdity. They are young people, full of vigor and easily impulsive. His uncle is already at an old age, yet he still followed along blindly. From the very beginning, he should have stopped this ridiculous impulse.

  Lou Shu sighed deeply in his heart, filled with self-blame and remorse.

  Elegant and serene high-end ward.

  "Xiao Xi won't wake up for a while. The anesthesia hasn't worn off yet. I estimate she'll wake up tomorrow morning. Han Shao, you should rest too. Close your eyes and sleep."

  Ling Han sat motionlessly in front of Leng Xi's bed, staring at him without blinking. Dr. Shao looked on with a pained expression after finishing his examination of Leng Xi's body and said worriedly...

  The refined face was exhausted. Ling Han still had no expression on his face. He stared at Leng Xi steadily, unmoved by external things.

  Her pale face was as white as a peeled melon seed. At this moment, under the light, it looked so pale, just like snow, with a soft glow, but without any hint of rosiness. It was heart-wrenching to look at.

  Her cherry blossom-like small, delicate and soft lips were tightly pursed, yet also a mess of black and white, just like withered flower petals scorched by the sun, it's heartbreaking to look at.

  Her eyelashes are as dense as a butterfly's wings, quietly falling on the snowy ground, just like a butterfly that didn't make it to hibernation and was frozen to death in the snow, losing its former lively dance, making my heart tremble with coldness.

  Ling Han let out a heavy sigh and rubbed his tired face with both hands, feeling extremely regretful.

  He should listen to her plea and spare her.

  Why didn't she say that she was pregnant? If she had said so, no matter how angry he was, he wouldn't have hurt her.

  Is she so unconcerned about the child in her belly? So indifferent to his child? To spite him, even the life of the child can be used as a bet. Is it that fun to anger him?

  The more I think about it, the worse I feel.

  Dr. Shao shook his head silently. He didn't expect that the child would still not be saved. He instructed with deep meaning, "After a miscarriage, it's like postpartum recovery. It requires careful care for a month. Xi'er's body is weak. You should take more care of her in the future. Don't let her catch cold wind. Don't overwork. There are also taboos about food. In the early stages, eat some light foods, such as porridge. Later on, you can supplement with nourishing foods. Old hen soup is the best tonic. Her body needs to be well taken care of..."

  "Also, bear with it for a little while longer. Within two months, you'll still have to put up with some inconvenience. Xi'er can't do household chores yet, so just be patient. Take good care of Xi'er. There will be more children in the future. Xi'er has grown up in hardship since she was young, her body's resistance is still quite strong, and each function is also very resilient, not as fragile as you imagine."

  Dr. Shao couldn't bear to see Han Leng so miserable and in pain. He tried his best to comfort him, while feeling guilty himself. Who would have thought that Han Shao cared about this child so much? If he had known earlier, he would have told Han Shao sooner, and things wouldn't have turned out like this. It seems some things can't be judged by a single chapter, and one can't act on their own accord.

  "She will wake up in great pain." Ling Han did not respond to Dr. Shao's words. His deep voice was hoarse and tired, and suddenly came a sentence.

  Dr. Shao was stunned for a moment, and then an expression of relief flowed into the old man's eyes. "Pain is inevitable. Take good care of her... Oh, right! I forgot something important. Don't let Xi'er's emotions fluctuate again. Her current condition can't withstand another blow. If she gets excited again and has another massive hemorrhage, it would be unbearable. So when she wakes up, don't tell her that the baby is gone..." Dr. Shao remembered the most important thing.

  "Alright, you go out first." Ling Han rubbed his brow and said.

  Dr. Shao nodded and stood up to walk out, leaving them two people space.

  His thick and handsome eyebrows furrowed, gazing at Leng Qing's peaceful sleeping face. Ling Han felt a pang of discomfort in his heart. He gently tucked the quilt around her, his eyes falling on her slender hand with the IV drip. He stroked the skin around the infusion site, which was cool to the touch due to the fluid flow. The icy sensation from Leng Qing's hand transmitted to Ling Han's fingertips, and a wave of distress suddenly arose in his heart.

  He picked up her small hand and placed it in the palm of his own, gently squeezing it as he wrapped his warmth around hers. Leng Qing slept soundly, her pale face serene, evoking a deep affection in him. He brought her hand to his lips and kissed it deeply, a hint of longing flickering in Ling Han's eyes.

  "Ah, it's cold. I just got the news. That kid Bai Yicheng turned Tian Dou Bar upside down." The door was pushed open by Du Shaohui in a flustered manner. Just in time to catch Ling Han and Leng Xi sharing a tender kiss. What a warm scene.

  He suddenly realized and shut up. He awkwardly rubbed his nose, feeling embarrassed for interrupting the intimate moment of the young couple. It was indeed awkward.

  ……

  Vibrant and lively. The spotlight flickers. The music resonates within Tian Du Bar.

  Bai Yicheng got drunk and passed out, his face flushed red with wine, his body reeking of alcohol. The bar counter and floor were littered with empty transparent bottles that had held cocktails, it was unknown how many he had consumed.

  The whole sky was in an uproar over the bar.

  "Come on, you come, drink with me. If I win, I'll give you special privileges. Open a store and I'll open the back door for you. I'll even give you the business license. Come on, let's drink!" Bai Yicheng stumbled around inside the bar, his eyes blurry from intoxication. He grabbed onto someone and laughed loudly, shouting at them to accompany him in drinking. The person he grabbed was so scared that they shook their head and waved their hands repeatedly.

  It's not that they don't drink, it's just that Bai Yicheng is too powerful. He drank ten people under the table and a large area of the floor was covered with those who had fallen, yet he still stood upright, which can only show how formidable he is.

  The bar manager and staff looked at the scene, also panicked, six gods without a master, hands and feet without a place, didn't know how to end it. The troublemaker had great power and authority, they dared not offend them.

  Wiping sweat while carefully serving him, catering to his every need.

  "Yi Cheng, what's wrong with you?"

  Just as the guests in the bar couldn't avoid it and were rushing to escape, a voice that dared to call Bai Yicheng by his nickname rang out at the entrance. The newcomer's face was filled with worry as he quickly walked over. "Yicheng, why are you sleeping on the ground? Get up quickly."
