Normal people would feel sick to their stomachs if someone spat on their face, and if it was vomit then the degree of disgust could be increased in square steps.

It took a long time for Yaxiao to realize that Bailey had a slight cleanliness fetish, and although he wasn’t so neurotic that he had to take a disinfectant towel to wipe his hands when he touched anything, he would be disgusted enough to feel nauseous for thirty to fifty years after having a half-faceful of spit on his face.

Berry hadn’t been here since that day, and she’d been left to spend her days in the one-door room, breaking her hands and counting the days. It had been a few days since she had disappeared, and she wondered what Shan Yan Xiu’s situation was now. Did Beili use her to make him any offers? Would he agree to him? There was also …… that illegitimate child that Beili had mentioned, the illegitimate child of Shan Yanxiu and Yin Lian …… She curled herself up, bent her knees up against her chin, and began to unconsciously gnaw on her fingernails.

To say that Beili’s words bombarded her was a bit much, but shock was rare. It was like a woman who thought that she had married a husband of three obediences and four virtues, but suddenly one day found out that her husband had three wives and four concubines and had a large number of children, that moment was really like an atomic bomb exploding in her head and creating a mushroom cloud.

In her heart, she was still very suspicious of Yin Lian. Although Shan Yan Xiu had once told her that he was merely a kind of adoration out of respect for Yin Lian, and that there was a big gap between that and love, it was after all a kind of good feeling. She still couldn’t help but be jealous that she had spent such a short amount of time with him, while Yin Lian could be said to have monopolized all the stages a man goes through from adolescence to adulthood. They spent days and nights together, they had a heart to heart, and they could even communicate a lot of things without movements just a look.

What’s more, they were once born into death, the so-called neck exchange is nothing more than that. And, Yin Lian had already died, she would stay in his heart with a branded trace to be remembered forever.

The living can not compete with the dead’s favor, it has nothing to do with love.

Seeing Bailey again was two days later, this time Bailey was no longer as elegant and calm as before. His forehead was still wrapped in a piece of gauze, his thin face was haggard, his eyes were bloodshot, and his smooth chin was covered in stubble.

Yaxiao shrank warily into the corner, a fat pillow cupped in her hand-everything of weight in this room had been put away since the last time she’d smashed him over the head.

Berry looked at her grimly for a long moment, then burst out laughing, “He won’t talk.” There was anger and desperation in his laugh, and he sounded nervous. He yanked his tie away vigorously near gritting his teeth, “It seems your man has made his choice, he has chosen to sacrifice you.” His smile began to twist, “Between Yoon Lin and you, he chose Yoon Lin over you.”

“Yoon Lyeon is dead.” She said coldly, “The choice is completely meaningless.”

Beili’s handsome face had a sinister and malicious look, “You’re quite good at deceiving yourself and others, Yin Lian is dead, but her child is still alive. I told him that as long as he is willing to tell me the whereabouts of that child, you can be free.” He slightly led a nervous laugh, “You know how he answered me, he said no, no, no!” He roared as if in a fit and then laughed again, but the laugh actually sounded bleak, “He doesn’t know, he doesn’t know! How could he not know, when she was there he didn’t move an inch, when she died there was only him. How can …… he not know? No one could interpose between them, no one.” Berry’s demeanor and demeanor went wild all together, completely overstimulated. Yashiro knew that he couldn’t lie at all in his current state, and that meant that what Berry was saying now was true.

Yoonim really did leave a child behind.

“You’re so pathetic, so pathetic.” Beili staggered over, the mockery on his face thick, “I’m telling you, no matter how many times I let Shan Yanxiu choose he won’t choose you. I know him too well, I know them too well. They’re all the same, all the same!”

Ya Xiao looked fearfully at Beili whose spirit was already on the verge of a state of collapse, she knew that at this time she would cause the other party to go mad with even just a small movement. So even though the doubt in her heart was so thick, she didn’t say a single word – as long as he didn’t say it to his face, it didn’t count as true.

With a sardonic smile, Berry stepped forward and choked her wrists, “Seeing as you don’t seem to believe what I’m saying, I’ll take you to him then. I’ll let him tell you his choice himself, and you’ll never be luckier than me.”

When a person fell into madness and despair, their attacking and killing power was enormous. Ya Xiao didn’t know this, so she didn’t resist when Berry tugged her outside. On the one hand, it was because resisting would only enrage the other party even more, on the other hand …… she really wanted to see Shan Yanxiu, she wanted to know about that child, and she would never believe in Beili’s bullshit.

She only wanted to hear his personal confirmation, to confirm that the child has nothing to do with him.

She finally met him in the cold, dark basement.

His face was cold and his gaze bladed, the dark eyes she’d once loved measuring her without warmth, a look that sent chills down her spine, powerful and intimidating.

Berry stood behind her and twisted her hand in his, whispering in his ear, “Didn’t you want to know his choice? Now I’ll give you the chance to ask him yourself, ask nicely and listen carefully. He’ll tell you himself if I lied to you or not.”

Berry’s words were like an icy water snake, climbing from the base of her ear upward all the way to her temple before devouring her fangs. She opened her mouth as if she was bewitched and said, “Ayan, you talk to me. You tell me properly, you tell me that Yin Lian doesn’t have a child. Even if there is, that child has nothing to do with you.”

Shan Yan Xiu’s person raised slightly, that thin mouth pursed stubbornly into a straight line. He didn’t give her an answer, just silence.

“Your woman is asking you words, go ahead, repeat what you said earlier.” Berry’s voice became pleasant, with the pleasure of revenge, “What? Didn’t you want to see her? The woman is important to you, isn’t she? You went through so much effort and searched for so many people to find this place. You even knelt down to Evil so that you could get the qualification to return to the Crisis Management Department, and because of that I was beaten back.” Berry paused and smiled, “But it doesn’t matter, that’s not what I wanted from the beginning. I merely wanted to know how far you could go for this woman, to determine how much she meant to you, so I could decide the weight of this chip.”

“I’ve already given you the answer you asked for.” Shan Yanxiu finally spoke, “If you don’t believe me, there’s nothing I can do. I can settle the score with you slowly, but you have to fulfill your promise and let her go first.”

Beili cocked his head and slowly said, “No, she has to stay.”

A hint of viciousness flashed through Shan Yanxiu’s eyes, “Words are not trustworthy, and you go back on your word. Beili, you still haven’t changed at all.”

Beili shook his head, “I won’t go back on my word, only before letting her go, you must answer her questions. Where is Yin Lian’s child? That child and you, is there any relationship?”

Shan Yanxiu coldly looked at the man in front of him who had lost his mind, “Beili, all you’ve done is nothing more than wanting to know if that child is yours. I’ll tell you clearly that I don’t know. Even where that child is now, whether he is alive or not, I don’t know.”

“Lie!” Berry stormed, his voice momentarily hoarse from the plucked-up pitch, “You’ve been with her every day, how could you not know.” He couldn’t restrain his entire body from trembling, “She died right in front of your eyes, how could she not tell you?”

Shan Yanxiu looked at him steadily, his gaze carrying a trace of pity, “Why would she tell me? That was her child, from before he was even born, she made the best choice for him, no one else had the right to interfere.”

“Berry, you know very well that a woman like Yinlian has never had any thoughts of having a family. But she is a woman after all, and a child has an extraordinary meaning to her, a continuation and a rebirth. She was such a woman that she would rather not see the child for the rest of her life than have him live a simple and carefree life, a life that was completely different from that of his mother. That’s something she held on to until the day she died.”

How could such a woman not be convinced?

Yashio couldn’t help but sympathize with Bailey behind him; there was no doubt that he was deeply in love with Yun-ryun, and he loved their child deeply as well. But as a mother, Yin Lian unilaterally deprived him of the right to be a father for her own reasons, and didn’t even give him a second glance. This kind of determination and ruthlessness is completely beyond the understanding of ordinary people, and no wonder it will drive a good gentleman into a mad dog. Rather than disturbing the bloodline to wash away dirty water to get the child’s whereabouts, even to the point of making that kind of absurd request to her, the fundamental reason is also for this, right?

“I just want to see him,” Beili murmured softly, “that is my child, my child with her ……”

Shan Yan Xiu didn’t move a muscle, “I’ve told you everything you want to know, let her go.”

Beili still shook his head, stubbornly, “Where is that child?”

Shan Yanxiu’s gaze flinched, “I don’t know.”

“You don’t know? Shan Yanxiu, Yin Lian would always leave behind whatever she did, it’s impossible for her to just die without leaving behind a single piece of information about that child. Anymore, as a mother, she would make the most thorough plans for her child even in death. Like, a devoted janitor.” Berry’s face faded from its dazed demeanor and was extraordinarily calm, “I am the child’s father, I have the right to know where he is.”

Shan Yanxiu’s voice sounded like it was squeezed out from between his teeth, “I don’t know.”

Beili’s eyes turned cold, “Shan Yanxiu, if your child was sent away from birth. You hadn’t even looked at him for a single moment, and you didn’t even know if he was a boy or a girl, would you be willing to do so? This woman, she already has your child. Soon I’ll be able to experiment so you can get a good sense of how I feel.”

“Don’t believe him, he lied to you.” Ya Xiao screamed, her face burning into a big tomato, “I’m not pregnant, no! Don’t let him wi–ah–” the sharp pain coming from her wrists made her scream out, tears spilling out of her eyes while not forgetting to add, “Don’t believe him. ”

He was right, not to say where the boy was right! With this kind of father, even if the mother is well-intentioned the child will have to be ruined.

“Either way, Shan Yanxiu,” Berry raised his voice, “do you believe me or her?” He leaned close and whispered behind her ear, “Ms. Yang, bet? Bet on whether he’ll come clean and painfully tell me the whereabouts of the child, or continue to keep the secret for the dead Yin Lian.”

Ya Xiao is in pain, hate, anger and irritation at this point, twisting her head around with eyes that spit fire, “I bet he’ll pounce on you and break your neck! You pervert!” She now really wanted to beg the heavens to bless that Yin Lian’s child wasn’t this maniac’s, this pervert’s genetic chain was too ferocious.

Berry grunted coldly, “After scrapping a hand, do you think he still has that kind of ability?”

Wasted …… a hand?

Ya Xiao was slightly stunned, and speed twisted his head to look at his own man. Sure enough, there was a puddle of blood on the ground to his left, freshly colored and in the form of a circular drip. She couldn’t help but get chills all over her body as she thought of a horrible possibility.

“…… I told him, as long as he picks off the tendon of his left hand I will no longer make things difficult for you, …… he complied, very dry. …… In addition to Yin Lian, no one is his opponent, even now he wasted a hand is still capable of …… However, with you standing here, he is no different from the invalid …… ”

Beili’s words came intermittently, seemingly far away and close. Ya Xiao only felt her two ears buzzing, she felt her whole body spinning, like she was falling straight down from a tall building, but her body seemed to be floating. She drifted off into a trance, remembering that not so long ago she had dragged his hand along with her to the corner bakery to buy the red bean shortcake that both of them loved. Even though it wasn’t cold anymore, he still used to hold her hand in his and stubbornly put it in his pocket. She loved the crispy red bean cakes when they came out of the oven, but they were hot. He broke it open and fed it to her, not caring that his fingers were red and greasy. She also remembered slipping and sliding and asking him for massages, spread out on all fours on the bed, humming a little tune as she listened to his plausible complaints. Those restless paws always ended up breaking away from their hard laboring positions and heading in the direction of capitalist lust and extravagance and succeeding in getting their hands on him. She remembers much, much, much more ……

He had learned so many things for her, and he had done so much for her, and now it ……

A bone-chilling coldness rose from the bottom of her heart, congealing her blood into sharp icy prongs, which brutally pierced her veins, poking and chiseling her heart one at a time. It hurt, unspeakably. It hurt so much that she couldn’t say anything, large teardrops kept rolling down her face, and her nose felt like it was going to bleed. The pain was so great that she could only open her mouth and squeeze out a little sound through her throat, then cough and spit out a dry horn.

The heart seemed to be wrung to pieces.
