After a wealthy woman went bankrupt, her live-in husband became her sugar daddy.

Chapter 217 My Flesh and Blood

Shen Yan and I had just stepped out of the clinic and were deep in thought about what to do next.

Since you've chosen to accept this child, you must fulfill the responsibilities of a mother; you can't just talk about it.

"Gu Mo!"

A sudden shout startled me, and I instinctively reached for my stomach.

Strangely enough, ever since I found out there was a life inside me, I seemed to instantly have the instinct and awareness to become a mother.

Jiang Yichen's voice was filled with anger, which startled everyone waiting in the obstetrics and gynecology department, and they all looked in our direction.

Before I could react, Jiang Yichen grabbed my wrist, trying to take me away.

"Jiang Yichen, what are you doing?!"

Shen Yan was the first to calm down and stepped forward to try to stop him.

The man showed no mercy and threw her violently to the ground.

"Shen Yan!" I shouted, wanting to go forward and check on her.

But how could I break free from Jiang Yichen's rage? He pulled me into his arms, holding me tightly, and questioned me in the ear, "Why are you avoiding me?"

His voice was as cold as that of Yama, the King of Hell, who had been reborn from hell.

After such a long battle of wits, Jiang Yichen's angry face was already etched in my mind, but this was the first time I had ever seen him so angry.

If I weren't carrying his child, he might have really devoured me on the spot.

"Jiang Yichen, you're about to marry Lin Nan. Aren't you afraid of the rumors flying around tomorrow if you're in public? Even if you're not afraid, I am. I don't want to be a mistress. Please leave me alone."

I kept my voice down. It was crowded and noisy here, and I didn't want anyone with ulterior motives to label me as a mistress.

Jiang Yichen pulled me closer, gripping my wrist tightly. The pain felt like a lot of air was being sucked out of my chest, and I could only take deep breaths to keep my face from contorting too much.

"You're dreaming! Gu Mo, do you really think I'm easy to bully? Don't forget, you're carrying my child! You and the baby belong to me!"

His tone left no room for argument, which deeply stirred my competitive spirit. I was so angry that I didn't care that we were at the entrance of the delivery room and forcefully widened the distance between us.

"Jiang Yichen! The child is in my belly right now. If you keep pressuring me, there's an abortion clinic downstairs."

"How dare you!" he roared, his eyes blazing with fury.

"See if I dare!"

I defied him relentlessly, and the atmosphere became tense for a time.

Everyone was so nervous that they didn't dare to even breathe.

After what seemed like an eternity, Jiang Yichen closed his eyes, as if trying to calm himself down, and then came over and tried to grab my wrist again.

"Jiang Yichen, with me here, you won't be taking Momo away!"

Shen Yan stood up from the ground, clutching her aching arm and shouting for security.

Looking at her shielding me behind her, my nose tingled with emotion, and I felt a surge of gratitude.

The hospital security guards arrived quickly, and seeing that the commotion was getting bigger and bigger, Jiang Yichen had no choice but to let go.

The security guard scanned the area and finally fixed his gaze on me.

"what happened?"

As more and more people stood up for me, I grew bolder. I supported my waist with one hand and touched my belly, which wasn't protruding, using all the acting skills I had.

"He! This man saw that I'm pretty and wanted to kidnap me!"

Jiang Yichen seemed amused by my silliness, sighed speechlessly, and then stepped forward and said, "Don't misunderstand, I'm accompanying my wife to her prenatal checkup today. She's throwing a tantrum and won't leave, so I'm sorry to bother you."

I stared wide-eyed. This acting... If I weren't the one involved, I would have actually believed his nonsense.

With such a handsome face, it's a real shame that Jiang Yichen isn't in the entertainment industry.

The security guard glanced at Jiang Yichen's bespoke suit, his noble face, and his superb acting skills, and his tone became less harsh.

"Oh dear, it's due to pregnancy hormones, it's inevitable that her emotions will be unstable. There are so many cases like this in the hospital. You should just go along with your wife's wishes in everything."

"Yes, yes, you're right."

Jiang Yichen, a tall man over 1.8 meters, bowed and nodded repeatedly to the security guard, a gesture that the guard found quite effective.

I was so angry I could have punched him, because the smug security guard couldn't see Jiang Yichen's smug face after he bent over.

Shen Yan realized the situation was turning against her, but it was too late to stop it.

Because the enthusiastic security guard, in an attempt to show off his authority, even gave us special treatment, saying that the pregnant woman was in a bad mood and needed to see a doctor again.

And just like that, I was pushed back after completing one examination.

Even the doctor was slightly surprised, "Why are you back again?"

"Doctor." Jiang Yichen leaned forward, pretending to put his arm around my waist, looking very concerned. "Doctor, is my wife alright? I was late for the checkup, I'm so sorry."

The doctor looked at me with ill intent, then at the handsome Jiang Yichen, and said with a smile, "I saw you looking worried just now, but it turns out I misunderstood. Miss Gu is truly blessed."

"Not at all, it's my good fortune to have married such a wonderful wife."

The two of them were talking back and forth, and Shen Yan and I couldn't get a word in edgewise.

Even after I walked out of the hospital, I was still a little dazed, until Jiang Yichen said, "Momo, stop fooling around, come back with me, Grandma misses you very much."

"Wow, Mr. Jiang, you really know how to do business. Gu Mo takes care of your family, and you also have a fiancée to support you. You're blessed with both inner and outer beauty, and you have both a beautiful wife and a virtuous wife. You're truly fortunate."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yichen narrowed his eyes dangerously, his gaze as if he were looking at a dying ant.

"If I remember correctly, the Shen family's recent overseas business ventures are pending the Jiang family's approval."

That's said so lightly, so casually judging someone's life or death.

As expected, Shen Yan's expression was very unpleasant.

As my best friend, I'm already very grateful for all she's done for me. I can't let her get into trouble because of me.

"Alright, stop talking. I'll go back with you."

"Momo! You don't have to do this!"

Shen Yan held my hand, not wanting me to wrong myself.

I turned my back to compose myself and met Jiang Yichen's threatening gaze. I knew there was no escape.

"Shen Yan, don't worry, I'm fine. After all, I'm carrying his child, Jiang Yichen won't do anything to me."

"But……"

"No buts. With my abilities, it's still very difficult to ensure this child grows up healthily. With Jiang Yichen's help, things will be much easier for me."

I laughed easily, as if I had let go of a heavy burden.

Shen Yan believed her, sighed, gave me a few more instructions, and finally left.

After getting in the car, Jiang Yichen and I remained silent until we arrived at the Jiang family home.

"Don't look so unhappy when you see Grandma," he said as he unbuckled his seatbelt.

"President Jiang's methods are too clever for me to handle." I sneered, opened the car door first, and left with the words, "But I'm not a fish to be slaughtered either. You can't keep me in the end."

After uttering those harsh words, I walked into the Jiang family's house on my own.

As soon as I entered the door, Grandma immediately came to greet me.

"Momo's back. Did you have a good time at your parents' house these past few days?"

"Huh?" I didn't quite understand.

Grandma took my hand and gently stroked it, saying, "Is it cold at home? Look how cold your little hands are."

I felt a pang of sadness. It seemed that Jiang Yichen hadn't told his grandmother that I had run away from home, afraid that she would worry.

Although his methods of subduing me were not very clever, my grandmother was genuinely good to me.

In my attempt to rebel against him, I almost broke my grandmother's heart.

"Grandma, I'm sorry. Next time I go back to my parents' home, I will definitely tell you in advance."

As I spoke, tears welled up in my eyes, whether from feeling wronged or guilty.

"Oh my goodness, don't cry. You're pregnant." Grandma said, wiping away my tears again. "I understand that Momo misses home. Yichen is definitely not paying attention to you either. I'll definitely give him a talking-to when he gets back!"

"Who are you trying to educate?"
