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

Chapter 201 Why not keep this child?

So when I heard the doctor say that I was more than a month pregnant and that I was doing well, I was filled with conflict and struggle.

This child really came at the worst possible time.

The doctor asked me, as usual, "Do you want this child?"

I answered almost without thinking, "No."

However, no sooner had I finished speaking than Jiang Yichen spoke up, saying firmly, "Yes."

Our answers were so drastically different that even the doctor was taken aback.

I looked at Jiang Yichen, and his eyes were full of expectation and determination, which made me even more hesitant.

The doctor looked at us and said, "This is a very important issue that you two need to discuss carefully. If you decide to keep the child, you need to be fully prepared and plan accordingly; if you decide not to keep the child, you should also take steps to terminate the pregnancy as soon as possible to avoid causing further harm to your bodies."

I lowered my head, my mind a jumbled mess. I knew Jiang Yichen desperately wanted this child, but I couldn't bring myself to accept it. I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down.

I calmly replied to the doctor, "Doctor, we will consider this matter carefully and give you an answer in three days."

After saying that, I ignored Jiang Yichen's face, which was as black as the bottom of a pot, and left the hospital.

Seeing this, Jiang Yichen hurriedly ran to catch up with me, grabbed my wrist tightly, and pulled me back into the car.

I wanted to shake him off and leave on my own, but considering my current physical condition, I chose to remain silent, sitting in the car, staring blankly ahead.

Jiang Yichen looked at me coldly and questioned, "Why don't you want this child? Just because he's my child, do you think he doesn't deserve to be born?"

I gently shook my head, my eyes already reddening, and explained helplessly, "This child will be born without a name or status, which will only harm him. Do you want him to be an illegitimate child, living his whole life under the scrutiny of others?"

Jiang Yichen clearly didn't understand your concerns. He retorted, "How can a child of the Jiang family be without a proper name and status? Being a member of the Jiang family is the greatest recognition!"

I glanced sideways at Jiang Yichen's serious face, a sense of powerlessness welling up inside me. You took a deep breath and said, "Even if he's a member of the Jiang family, he's still an illegitimate child. Don't forget, we're already divorced. If this child is born, he'll only bear the label of illegitimate child, a label he'll never be able to shake off for the rest of his life."

Jiang Yichen's expression changed slightly, and he asked in a low voice, "Have you always been bothered by my status as an illegitimate child, which is why you've never treated me well after we got married?"

I quickly shook my head and explained, "No, I've never minded your identity. No matter what you were like before, you are now the only legitimate eldest son of the Jiang family. But the child in my belly is different. He may live in the shadow of being an illegitimate child for the rest of his life. I don't want my child to bear these burdens. I only hope that he can grow up healthy and happy."

However, no matter how I explained, Jiang Yichen wouldn't listen.

He said angrily, "You never consider my feelings and always put others before me. I'm determined to have this child!"

Seeing his determined look, I was also furious.

I glanced out the window, too lazy to argue with him anymore.

Even if we argue a lot, we try our best to appear harmonious when we get home.

As soon as I entered the door, Grandma rushed over excitedly, took my hand, and asked with a hopeful look on her face, "What did the traditional Chinese medicine say? Are you alright?"

Just as the male protagonist was about to tell his grandmother that he was pregnant, you quickly interrupted him.

I quickly interrupted Jiang Yichen and said to Grandma, "The doctor said we're both in good health and there's nothing seriously wrong, so they didn't prescribe any Chinese medicine. Maybe we're just too stressed. There's really no need for us to take any medicine." As I spoke, I winked at Jiang Yichen, signaling him not to mention the pregnancy at this time.

Grandma nodded after hearing what I said, but she was still a little puzzled: "Oh, I see. Didn't the traditional Chinese medicine doctor say that it needs some conditioning?"

I squatted down to be at eye level with my grandmother and gently explained, "The traditional Chinese medicine doctor said that we are both in good condition right now and don't need to take any medicine. Just keep a good mood and a regular schedule. Grandma, I'm not feeling well. I think I'm just too tired today. I'd like to go upstairs and rest for a while."

Grandma looked at me with a face full of heartache: "Oh dear, Momo, look at you, you're so tired after just one trip. Go on, go upstairs and lie down to rest."

I smiled at Grandma while I was at it, then turned and headed upstairs. Just as I reached the top of the stairs, I heard Grandma whisper behind me, asking Jiang Yichen, "Did Momo refuse to take her medicine, so you didn't bring it back?"

My heart tightened, fearing that Jiang Yichen might let something slip, but thankfully he quickly shook his head and replied, "No, Grandma, don't worry about it, we're really fine."

However, Grandma didn't seem to completely believe him. She looked Jiang Yichen up and down for a moment, then tentatively asked, "Did you two have a fight? The atmosphere seemed a bit off when you came back."

Jiang Yichen was clearly a little overwhelmed by his grandmother's questions, so he quickly replied, "Grandma, don't think too much about it. We didn't quarrel. Don't worry, everything's fine. I'll go upstairs and check on her."

After saying that, he followed me upstairs, leaving Grandma downstairs lost in thought.

A loud noise suddenly came from inside the room, followed by my scream. Jiang Yichen immediately tensed up upon hearing the sound, rushed up the stairs in three steps, and anxiously pushed open the door. He saw me sitting on the floor, rubbing my ankle in pain.

He rushed to my side, carefully picked me up, gently placed me on the bed, and asked with concern, "What happened? Where did you hurt yourself? Tell me quickly!"

I shook my head slightly and said somewhat awkwardly, "It's nothing, I just stepped on something and accidentally fell."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yichen frowned, his tone carrying a hint of reproach: "How could you be so careless? You're not alone anymore; you need to be more careful."

I lowered my head and remained silent.

Jiang Yichen seemed to sense my unease. He gently took my hand and looked at me with unwavering eyes: "I know what you're thinking, but we must keep this child. He is our flesh and blood, and we cannot deprive him of his right to come into this world."

I looked up and met Jiang Yichen's gaze, my eyes filled with complex emotions. I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down: "I know, but..."
