However, Bai Xueli looked at him nervously and promised that she would not tell Murong Xue to let him rest assured. Bai Xueli told him that what she only wanted was that he could spend some time with her occasionally. If anything should happen to the baby, she would not live alone.

Shangguan Mo did not know what to do now, but suddenly, he did realize that the baby was a time bomb that posed a threat to the relationship between Murong Xue and him. He could not rest at ease with the baby, and it would be difficult for Bai Xueli to marry others once she gave birth to the child.

He did not want to be so ruthless, but the baby was a mistake that should be corrected. "Xueli, let's go to the hospital and have an abortion for everyone's sake. No one else will know about it. I'll get you the best doctor to guarantee no harm done to your body."

"No, no. If anyone lays a hand on my baby, I'll kill myself." Bai Xueli grabbed the paring knife on the table and put it against her neck while stepping back to be meters away from Shangguan Mo. She did not expect that Shangguan Mo was so ruthless that even the baby could not change his mind.

Shangguan Mo’s face changed, "Xueli, calm down. Put down the knife first." He did not love this sister, but he owed her too much.

"Mo, I just want to keep the baby and I haven't told Xue yet. If you have to take away the baby, my sole comfort now, why should I want to be alive?" Bai Xueli cried.

Shangguan Mo frowned and considered how he could take the knife away from her. He would force her to have an abortion despite her unwillingness. Obviously, he was extremely cold to anyone except Murong Xue.

However, Bai Xueli was the one who knew him best, so she understood instantly when seeing his face. She grabbed the knife harder and the knife cut her delicate skin. Although the cut was not deep, it began bleeding at once and the red color was chilling.

Shangguan Mo stopped his movement and abandoned the thought, "Xueli, stop. Put down the knife. I won't force you anymore."

"Really?" Bai Xueli was delighted but she didn’t dare to give up the knife because she knew he would find out everything if he took her to have an abortion. She could have an abortion, but it would not be done at this time or in this way.

"I mean it. Put down the knife. Let's have a good talk." It gave Shangguan Mo a headache to persuade her. Bai Xueli was very emotional now, so he could only be soft and reason with her instead of being aggressive.

Bai Xueli walked to him carefully and kept watching Shangguan Mo's face. After making sure he would make no further movements, she became relaxed, "Mo, the baby is a gift sent to me. I'm so happy." She stroked her flat belly with a motherly smile as if she had been a mother.

Shangguan Mo relented a moment when he saw her like this, but then he thought of Murong Xue and became tough again, "Xueli, it's a mistake."

"It might be a mistake to you, but it's my precious gift. Please, Mo, I won't tell Xue anything." Bai Xueli begged while crying.

"You can't. What are you going to do after the baby is born? What about yourself?"

"I'll raise him on my own. Don't worry, Mo." Bai Xueli lowered her head and answered in a very low voice, which sounded heartbreaking.

Silence occupied Shangguan Mo for a while. He could not let her have the baby even if it was very brutal. He could not stand losing Murong Xue. "No. You have to have an abortion. You can't marry others with a baby in the future."

Bai Xueli bit her lip, "Mo..." After a while, she seemed to have made a big decision and spoke with tears in her eyes, "Okay. I'll do it. I'm willing to do anything you want even if you ask me to die."

Shangguan Mo recalled how Bai Xueli protected him at that time and guilt filled him, so he looked away. He was unable to look into her clear eyes now because it would make him guiltier. But he was bound to hurt Bai Xueli since he chose Murong Xue. The most important thing was that he only treated her as a sister. "Xueli, I'm sorry."

"Mo, don't. I'm willing to do it. But can you do something for me?"

Seeing her begging eyes, Shangguan Mo could not resist his guilt and nodded, "Okay. What?"

"Stay with me tonight. You haven't spent time with me for a long time." Bai Xueli asked.

Shangguan Mo’s face changed and he refused determinedly, "No."

"Only have a drink with me, will you? I’m so sad. Mo, I'm miserable."

"Drinking? You're pregnant. It's not good for you." He now understood what she meant was drinking instead of pursuing him.

Bai Xueli raised a bitter smile, "Does it matter? The baby is going to die anyway. I just want to sweep off all the pains by drinking."

Shangguan Mo could not bear to hear this, so he agreed after considering for a moment, "OK. I'll drink with you, but only tonight." He had tasted the feeling of losing someone beloved before, so he could empathize with her now. He was glad to see Bai Xueli have come round since he could not be with her.

"Mo, sit down and wait for me. I'll go and get the wine." Bai Xueli put on a sly smile once she turned around.

"Let me do it." Shangguan Mo offered.

"No need. I'll ask Ms. Fang to get it. Do you know where it is?" Bai Xueli knew he did not know since he had never had dinner there during his occasional visits. Besides, she would never allow him to get the wine himself even if he really knew.

After a while, Ms. Fang brought two bottles of wine to them. Bai Xueli took out two glasses and left the one in her right hand in front of Shangguan Mo, "Mo, thank you for staying with me."

Shangguan Mo was very guilty, "Don’t say that. I hurt you..." If he had never met Murong Xue, he might have been willing to spend the rest of his life with Bai Xueli, but Murong Xue appeared and became the only and special one to him, which left him unable to accept others.

"Mo, you never need to be sorry for me. I choose it myself. Mo, let's drink it and forget all of these." Bai Xueli said with shyness while pouring the wine into the glasses, and then she gave the one on the right side to him.

Doubts never occurred to Shangguan Mo and he drank off the wine at once. To avoid repeating the previous mistake, he planned to refrain from binge drinking later. He wouldn’t make the same mistake.

Bai Xueli gave a thin smile, raised her own glass, and drank. After a moment, she pretended to be drunk and shook her head, "Mo, I feel dizzy. Can you stop shaking me?"

Shangguan Mo felt surprised that she was drunk after only one glass, "Xueli, you're drunk. Let me take you to your room so you can sleep." He stood up and tried to help hold her.

Bai Xueli mumbled a few words and fell down on the sofa. Shangguan Mo moved forward to take her to the bedroom, but everything around him suddenly became a blur. He then fell down on the sofa, too. At the same time, Bai Xueli, who had pretended to be drunk, opened her eyes, looked at fainted Shangguan Mo, and apologized to him in a low voice, "Mo, don't blame me. I have no choice."

Then she called Ms. Fang to help her carry him to her room. Ms. Fang was asked to go out after that.

She looked at Shangguan Mo in her bed. She never got tired of his handsome face all these years. In her eyes, his bushy eyebrows, tall and straight nose, and thin lips were all beautiful artwork, and only she deserved such a man, rather than the country girl Murong Xue.

She unbuttoned his shirt and revealed his beefy pecs. Then she went all the way down to his pants. She couldn’t help but blush, but she bit her lips and still undressed him.

Next, Bai Xueli undressed herself and exposed her curvy body. Pressing her body hard against Shangguan Mo's, she put his arm around her waist. After everything was ready, she called Ms. Fang in again.

"Miss, is this okay?" Ms. Fang doubted.

But Bai Xueli immediately put on a pitiful look, "Ms. Fang, I don't want this, either. But Mo wants to abandon me and our baby. What else could I do?"

Ms. Fang felt sorry for her, "Okay. I'll take photos of you two. You can close your eyes and pretend to be asleep now."

Bai Xueli raised a grateful smile, "Thank you."

Ms. Fang took dozens of photos and gave all of them to Bai Xueli later.
