Jiang Yao could not say no when Luo Ruoran pleaded with her.
She seemed to be able to see the struggle, as well as the sorrow and pain, in Luo Ruoran's eyes. It seemed as though she was clinging to the cliff's edge with one hand. It would be like pulling one of her hands that was clutching onto the edge of the cliff if she did not comply. It would be the equivalent of kicking her straight into the abyss.
She could not utter a single word of rejection.
Jiang Yao did not know how to tell Luo Ruoran that she had a feeling Liang Yueze liked her. She had seen the tenderness in Liang Yueze's eyes when he gazed at Luo Ruoran, the type of affection and indulgence that a man had for a woman.
Perhaps that was the mystery of those who were involved. Just like how she could not understand Lu Xingzhi's feelings for her back then, Luo Ruoran seemed to be following the same old path that she had taken.
"Please, Jiang Yao, I beg you." Luo Ruoran received no response from Jiang Yao, even after a long wait. She reached out and took Jiang Yao's hand in hers. "If I have to remarry him for this baby, then I will choose to abort it."
Jiang Yao was speechless. After a long while, she nodded.
"I will not take the initiative to tell Lu Xingzhi and Liang Yueze, but Ruoran, if Liang Yueze sees something and asks me, I hope you can understand that I can't lie to him." Liang Yueze was Lu Xingzhi's brother, and she was Lu Xingzhi's wife.
"That's enough for me." Luo Ruoran smiled in relief. "I won't give Liang Yueze the chance to find out. I'll leave Jindo City tomorrow. I won't come back until the child is grown up."
"Keep in touch. The first three months are crucial. Take care of yourself. The weather is cold. Don't catch a cold. Call me immediately if anything happens," Jiang Yao said. Then, she spoke to Luo Ruoran about the precautions during pregnancy for almost an hour.
