Because I simply love you

Chapter 399: Don't dare call yourself defective!

Jianyu slipped his tongue inside her mouth the moment she parted her lips. All the anguish and all the stress that he was holding onto since he saw Serena collapsed on the floor was slowly starting to fade away as his tongue meshed and entangled with hers.

But there was still a lingering trace of anger in his heart to know that Serena could think of him like that.

A child with another woman? What a joke!

The anger once again surged in his chest, and his kiss became ferocious. He couldn’t help but roam his hands over her body as he felt her soft, supple breasts. He lightly squeezed her right breast in his palm which made Serena jolt and shudder in surprise.

He bit her tongue in an attempt to ease the storm raging inside him.

“Mmphh…”

Serena gasped, and she felt a stinging and numbing pain. A drop of tear escaped from the corner of her eye.

After God knows how long, Jianyu finally calmed down.

“Don’t think too highly of yourself because I kissed you. This was your punishment for thinking of me as a fickle man.”

Serena was still overwhelmed with his sudden attack. She could hardly hear what he said.

Jianyu pinched her chin. “And don’t dare to call yourself defective!” His gaze darkened, and there was a hint of danger in his voice. “Are you demeaning all those women who, unfortunately, cannot bear children maybe for one reason or the other?”

Serena froze.

She quickly said, “I-I didn’t mean that…I was just talking about myself-“

“Shut up! You are not allowed to talk like that anymore! So what if you cannot bear any child in the future? That doesn’t take away your respect and dignity as a woman.”

Serena’s eyes turned sore, and tears uncontrollably gushed out.

Jianyu stared straight at her and narrowed his eyes. He commanded. “Look at me.”

Serena nervously raised her head. She felt a sense of determination in his beautiful orbs as she gazed at them.

“Even in the worst case, if our child couldn’t have survived and even if you cannot give me another one, I would have never found another woman to replace you. I would have never looked for any other woman to bear my child, got it? I would rather remain childless than to have someone else’s child. If the child is not ours, if the woman is not you, then I don’t want a child at all!”

Serena was stunned with his declaration.

“Don’t think that just because there are differences between us, it would be easy for me to marry another woman.” He gritted his teeth. “You have hurt me by saying that! It’s as if you mean that my feelings towards you were never that serious that I could so easily look for another woman!”

Serena shamefully lowered her head. “S-sorry…”

Jianyu angrily snorted. “And I don’t care about the heir to Chen family, and I know that Mom and Dad don’t give a damn either. We are not the type of those aristocratic families that strictly require our bloodline to continue our legacy. That’s how Dad and Uncle Liu have raised bro and me. Anyway, don’t Nana and bro have twins? Perhaps, we could have handed Chen business over to one of them. It’s not a big deal.”

Serena felt as if she was floating on cloud nine. She always knew that she was lucky to have Jianyu, but today, her love for him just soared beyond the sky and above all limits.

“Thank you…” She covered her mouth as she gasped.

“Hmph. Now you go back to rest.”

Serena slowly nodded. “Wait. H-How is Nana? And the twins!”

Jianyu said, “They are alright. Her surgery got over, and she has woken up. She is fine.”

Serena was relieved. “I want to meet her.”

“No.” He sternly rejected. “You are still too weak to move around. Get some rest, and I will see later if you can meet her. But not now.”

“But-“

“I said, no!” He glared at her.

She pursed her lips. She shrank back to her bed.

“Who hit you?”

“Hm?”

“In the restroom. Who slapped you? Tang Ning or Tang Feng?”

Serena stiffened. She noticed a deadly storm brewing in his eyes.

“T-Tang Feng….”

Jianyu clenched his jaw and the menacing aura around him intensified.

No wonder…no wonder her bruises are so nasty as compared to Nana. A man beating in his full strength hurt more than a woman’s.

There was a noticeable difference in the strengths of a hit between a man and a woman.

“What did they say?”

Serena didn’t want to recall those memories, but she didn’t dare not answer his questions when he seemed so angry.

“J-just what I expected…they didn’t want me in your life. They think Suyin deserved to bear your child. I seduced you and all…if Suyin couldn’t carry your child then…I-I had no right either.”

Then she teared up as she remembered how Tang Ning hit her stomach. She looked at her baby boy, and anger arose in her heart.

If I had lost him then…

Jianyu turned grim. He noticed how she looked fearful and anxious as she stared at their baby.

“Rest now.” He quietly said.

Jianyu took the child and put him in the crib.

“If you need anything, then just call me.”

She nodded.

“I will be back in a while.”

As he left, Serena looked at her baby, who was adorably sleeping in the crib.

She didn’t know at what juncture their relationship lie. When he talked to her now, it didn’t seem as if he hated her like before. She could even feel his love and care even if just a little bit.

So had he forgiven her?

She pursed her lips. Perhaps Jianyu forgot in this whole mess that he was supposed to take away the baby from her once he was born and never let her meet him again. That was the contract. But when he would remember she wondered…

Will Jianyu really take him away from me?
