Chapter 568: Chapter 568: Wasted Efforts _1

Xia Qingtian grabbed Cheng Bingbing’s hand, forcing her to sit down again.

"Running away?" She looked at Cheng Bingbing, her words loaded with meaning, "There are some things you can’t avoid forever, running away doesn’t solve anything."

Cheng Bingbing bit her lip, without struggling, she sat down again next to her.

"Sister Qingtian, I regret it!" She bowed her head, guilt written all over her face, "I’m sorry, I don’t want to abort the baby in my belly, I want to give birth."

Xia Qingtian didn’t say anything.

Cheng Bingbing didn’t dare to look up at her, her guilt and anxiety growing.

"Sister Qingtian, I realize I was wrong. If you’re angry, you can hit me or scold me, anything is fine, just don’t ignore me, okay?" Her voice was sobbing, "Just don’t ignore me, please!"

Seeing her so frightened, Xia Qingtian suddenly said, "Silly girl, I was just teasing you!"

Cheng Bingbing looked up at her, somewhat astonished, "Sister Qingtian, what do you mean?"

Xia Qingtian took a pack of tissue paper from her bag and handed it to her, "I mean I’m not angry, it was all a joke."

"Huh?" For a while, Cheng Bingbing was taken aback, she couldn’t quite keep up with what was happening.

"Actually, on the way to the hospital, I noticed you hesitating, as if you had something to say. I didn’t press you. When you finished the ultrasound and mentioned the baby in your belly with a smile on your face, I guessed that you probably won’t be able to bear aborting the baby." Xia Qingtian confessed without blaming her.

"Aren’t you mad?" Cheng Bingbing asked nervously.

Xia Qingtian smiled, reminding her, "You don’t have to worry about me being angry, have you forgotten? I’ve said many times before that I will support you no matter what decision you make, including your decision to keep the baby."

Hearing this, Cheng Bingbing couldn’t help but laugh.

She was clearly laughing, but for some reason, tears uncontrollably streamed down her face.

"Why are you crying?" Xia Qingtian asked, somewhat helpless.

"I..." Cheng Bingbing hastily wiped her tears, "I’m just too happy, these are tears of joy. I didn’t expect you not only to not blame me, but also to support me."

She had barely finished her sentence when something seemed to occur to her, "Now that I’ve decided to keep the baby, what about the scheduled operation?"

Xia Qingtian responded with a dark smile, "There was never an abortion operation scheduled, I just said that to make you understand your own heart. Actually, you’re just confused. If you calm down, you’ll realize that the operation was a lie, because before it can be performed, you can’t eat anything or drink any water."

"Think about how much breakfast you ate this morning, and how much water you drank in the rest room just now?"

After hearing these words, Cheng Bingbing finally had an aha moment.

She finally understood that everything had been a setup by Xia Qingtian.

However, despite being part of the scheme, she wasn’t angry.

If it weren’t for Xia Qingtian’s set up, perhaps she wouldn’t have understood so clearly what she wanted and would have continued to suffer.

Now all her pain and hesitation had vanished and become determination.

"Sister Qingtian, thank you!" Cheng Bingbing said gratefully, "I now know for certain what I want. I want to give birth to the child in my belly."

She gently stroked her still flat belly, her voice tinged with some bitterness, "I won’t blame you for laughing, but the truth is ever since I was a child, I’ve almost never felt the love of family or a home. I have always been self-conscious and desperate for love. I yearn for a family, for someone who loves me wholeheartedly."

Xia Qingtian knew that what she needed now was to vent, so she didn’t interrupt and let her voice all her feelings.

Sometimes, some words left unsaid turn into heartache.

Now that she was willing to talk, it was a good thing.

"I now understand that the baby in my belly will entirely belong to me. I love him, and he will instinctively love me..." Saying this, Cheng Bingbing couldn’t help but reveal a satisfied smile.

Her smile was filled with maternal glow.

"Does it matter who the biological father is? After all, that man just provided the sperm. All that matters to me is that I conceived this child, that he is a relative connected by my blood."

"Although I can’t give him a father’s love, but I can give him plenty of a mother’s love. I’ll make sure he’s surrounded by love from childhood, so he won’t lack love like I did."

Xia Qingtian patted her shoulder, "Since you’ve decided and are mentally prepared, go ahead and have this child."

"Yes..." Cheng Bingbing nodded, "I’m not showing yet, so it won’t interfere with filming. In the later stages, there’s even a plot involving my pregnancy. When the time comes, I won’t need to use props, I can just use my real belly, the effect might even be better."

"As for if news of my unwed pregnancy getting out, and whether I can continue working in the entertainment industry, I don’t care. The money I’ve made recently is more than what many people earn in their entire lives. I could find an ordinary job that should be enough to raise my child... however..."

At this point, she looked at Xia Qingtian guiltily.

"However, I feel a bit sorry for you. You’ve spent so much time and energy training me and just as I’m starting to see some success, I might have to leave the entertainment industry, which would waste all your efforts."

Hearing her say this, Xia Qingtian thought of An’an and her heart softened.

Although Cheng Bingbing indeed wasted her efforts, being a mother herself, she understood Cheng Bingbing’s actions and couldn’t bring herself to blame her.

"It’s okay!" She reassured, "Don’t think the worst just yet. Society is more open-minded now than it was before, you may not need to leave showbiz. Don’t scare yourself."

"Yeah." Cheng Bingbing nodded heavily, her entire being emanating determination.

Having said everything that needed to be said, Xia Qingtian prepared to stand up and leave the rooftop with Cheng Bingbing.

Sitting on the edge of the roof with their legs dangling was quite dangerous.

But before she had a chance to move, Cheng Bingbing turned around and said, "Sister Qingtian, I have figured it out now, you need to be strong too."

Xia Qingtian was taken aback, she had no idea why Cheng Bingbing would suddenly say these words.

She found it strange and asked, "Why do you say that?"

Cheng Bingbing stated as though she understood everything already, "If Mr. Bo doesn’t cherish you, there are others who do and will. You shouldn’t let yourself be sad because of a man who doesn’t cherish you."
