ABSTIWTVMST Chapter 108

Ruan Chenxuan was so angry that his whole body trembled, and his heart ached. He clutched his chest for a while before suddenly picking up the phone from the ground. Even though the screen was shattered, it didn’t stop him from sending a furious message to Jing Yicheng: “Jing Yicheng, you @#$%&^%$#@!”

However, the angrier Ruan Chenxuan got, the happier Jing Yicheng became. After receiving the message, not only did he not get angry, but he also ran into the office and showered Xu Chenghao with several hugs and kisses, his good mood evident.

Xu Chenghao was a bit confused and somewhat disgusted by the kisses: “What are you doing?”

Jing Yicheng nuzzled his forehead: “I’m happy.”

Xu Chenghao was puzzled: “What happened that’s making you so happy?”

Jing Yicheng honestly replied: “An Rouyu gave birth. Old Mr. Ruan will definitely do a paternity test. I want to see how she plans to slander you then!”

Xu Chenghao was surprised: “Gave birth? How long has it been?”

Jing Yicheng: “A seven-month premature baby, mother and child are safe.”

Xu Chenghao was shocked. Although he knew that things had deviated from the original plot ever since the female lead was brought back, he hadn’t expected a seven-month premature birth.

Especially since the child was born at the exact time when the male lead had amnesia and the female lead was discovered to be pregnant. Old Mr Ruan placed great importance on bloodlines… In the original plot, the genius son was not taken away by Old Mr. Ruan. But now, it’s uncertain whether the child can stay with the female lead.

Jing Yicheng suddenly asked: “What are you thinking?”

Xu Chenghao said: “I’m thinking whether An Rouyu can keep the child!”

Jing Yicheng frowned: “Don’t think about her!”

Xu Chenghao: “Oh, then I’m thinking about how Ruan Chenxuan feels about suddenly having a son.”

Jing Yicheng: “Don’t think about him either!”

Xu Chenghao glanced at him helplessly: “You told me this news, why can’t I think about it?”

Jing Yicheng: “You just can’t think about it!”

Xu Chenghao didn’t bother with him and directly said, “If Old Mr. Ruan values his grandson, he might hold a one-month celebration once the child’s health improves. I’ll have to attend then, so what’s wrong with thinking about it now?”

Jing Yicheng said, “I’ll go too. I’ll go with you.”

There was no way Jing Yicheng would let Xu Chenghao attend the banquet and meet Ruan Chenxuan alone!

Xu Chenghao smirked, “But my parents will also be there.”

Jing Yicheng: “…”

Xu Chenghao: “Are you scared?”

Jing Yicheng: “No, just nervous.”

Xu Chenghao didn’t mind: “Oh, then we’ll announce our relationship when you’re not nervous anymore.”

Jing Yicheng immediately grabbed Xu Chenghao: “I-I’m not nervous now!”

Xu Chenghao didn’t make things difficult for him and reassured him, “Don’t be nervous, my parents are understanding.”

Jing Yicheng silently lowered his head: “But about our past…”

Xu Chenghao: “You mean the time you fought over An Rouyu? Don’t worry, my parents definitely know.”

Jing Yicheng: “…”

Thinking about how he had once threatened and almost hurt Xu Chenghao, Jing Yicheng felt even more anxious.

But even if he felt anxious, he couldn’t let anyone see it, especially a certain someone with the last name Ruan! So, while Xu Chenghao wasn’t paying attention, Jing Yicheng secretly sent a message to continue showing off to the other party.

Jing Yicheng: “Looking forward to your family’s one-month celebration. That’s when I’ll meet the parents and announce our relationship :)”

Ruan Chenxuan: “…”

This person is so annoying!

The brand-new phone in Ruan Chenxuan’s hand almost hit the ground again. Gritting his teeth, he blocked Jing Yicheng before turning his attention back to the hospital room to continue observing the unconscious woman.

The more he observed, the stronger his feelings grew, especially when she briefly woke up and opened those familiar eyes. They were so familiar that even if Ruan Chenxuan’s mind was blank, he would still feel a sense of déjà vu, as if they were meeting again after many years.

He genuinely believed he had once loved this woman, but he couldn’t forget the feelings he had developed for Xu Chenghao… Especially with Jing Yicheng constantly provoking him, he just couldn’t stand seeing him get his way!

However, even though he was unwilling, when the paternity test confirmed that the child was indeed his grandson, Old Mr. Ruan started planning to register the child’s household, name him, and organize the one-month celebration, wanting to proudly show off his great-grandson.

Ruan Chenxuan tentatively asked, “What about An Rouyu?”

Old Mr. Ruan immediately frowned: “Didn’t you say yesterday that you wouldn’t marry her?”

Ruan Chenxuan fell silent.

Old Mr. Ruan looked at him with disappointment: “When I found An Rouyu, she was adamant that the child wasn’t going to the Ruan family and kept insisting it was Xu Chenghao’s. I made an agreement with her that if she contacted Xu Chenghao, she would forever bear a stigma and never marry into the Ruan family. She agreed.”

Ruan Chenxuan was shocked: “You informed Xu Chenghao beforehand?”

Old Mr. Ruan was also very angry as he spoke: “It was because she kept insisting that the child was Xu Chenghao’s!”

Ruan Chenxuan suddenly felt a complicated emotion and, after a moment of silence, said calmly, “If she doesn’t want to marry, then let it be.”

Old Mr. Ruan nodded with satisfaction: “However, considering that she gave birth to a child for the Ruan family, the Ruan family will cover her living expenses… as long as she’s not greedy!”

Old Mr. Ruan never liked women who had no family background to support them, lacked the ability to handle things, and could only cling to men. The fact that she stubbornly insisted the child wasn’t a Ruan only intensified his dislike for her. He absolutely didn’t want his grandson to marry her.

So when he said contacting Xu Chenghao meant she couldn’t marry into the Ruan family, he meant it!

Ruan Chenxuan saw the coldness in Old MR. Ruan’s eyes and felt nervous. He subconsciously worried about what would happen to An Rouyu in the future… No, he should be worrying about Xu Chenghao and Jing Yicheng announcing their relationship at the one-month celebration, right?

Ruan Chenxuan was completely confused. It felt like there were two people in his mind: one worrying about An Rouyu and the other fixated on Xu Chenghao. This left him feeling out of control, torn in different directions.

He even thought he might be suffering from split personality disorder. His once whole self was divided into two souls because of specific people, both waiting for them.

But the reality was… when he asked An Rouyu if she truly didn’t want to marry him, An Rouyu looked at him with a mix of love and hate, then finally nodded: “Yes, I don’t love you and I don’t want to marry you. You have so many women who can give birth! Give me back my child! Give me back my child!”

Ruan Chenxuan said, “The child is a premature baby and needs to stay in an incubator for three to four weeks.”

“I don’t believe you!” His words seemed to have hit a nerve, and An Rouyu instantly lost her sanity: “You don’t want me to see the child. You want to take him away! Give him back to me! Give him back to me!”

Ruan Chenxuan frowned: “Even if we give him back to you, do you think you can take care of him with your current physical and mental state? You can’t provide him with a good living condition or a future.”

To An Rouyu, this statement sounded like an admission that they wouldn’t give her the child back, driving her into a frenzy. She could only cry and scream: “Give me back my child! Ruan Chenxuan, if you have a conscience, you’ll give me back my child! How dare you deprive me of the right to care for my child! You beasts!”

Ruan Chenxuan patiently explained: “The child is really in an incubator. He’s not as healthy as a full-term baby and can’t leave the incubator yet. Forcing him out would harm him!”

An Rouyu refused to believe him, glaring with tear-stained eyes: “I just want him by my side!”

Ruan Chenxuan realized her mental state was not right and said, “You need to rest well first. Once the child is better, you can see him.”

This made An Rouyu so angry she was speechless and eventually fainted from the emotional outburst. Ruan Chenxuan pressed the call button to summon the doctor urgently. After a series of chaotic moments and learning that she was stable, he reluctantly left, not daring to ask any more questions.

As for Xu Chenghao, he was even more direct. His phone calls never got through. Even when using a different number, if the other party heard his voice, they would hang up immediately.

Sometimes, when the calls became too frequent, the phone would be handed over to Jing Yicheng, who would sarcastically say, “What’s this? Are you inviting us to the wedding? We haven’t even celebrated President Ruan becoming a father yet. Congratulations, congratulations!”

When Ruan Chenxuan thought about how this was being said right next to Xu Chenghao, he would instinctively hang up the phone and flee, unable to muster any desire to retaliate.

It seemed like everything was just his wishful thinking.

Ruan Chenxuan turned off his phone in disappointment, leaving only a bitter smile. He suddenly felt very envious of Jing Yicheng—envious of his companionship with Xu Chenghao, envious of their mutual affection, and most of all, envious of how his lover cared deeply for him and would actively avoid suitors for his sake.

He was really envious…

He felt so tired… He wished there was someone he could rely on…

Ruan Chenxuan closed his eyes and took a deep breath, feeling envious but still having to gather his spirits to continue facing the current messy situation.

On the other side, the person he envied so much was nervously clinging to Xu Chenghao after hanging up the phone, saying, “We’re one day closer to the one-month celebration. Promise me first that if your parents are not satisfied, you won’t abandon me.”

Xu Chenghao slapped his hand away: “Aren’t you tired of asking the same question every day?”

Jing Yicheng was shocked: “You’re already annoyed by me?”

Xu Chenghao: “…”

Jing Yicheng: “Why aren’t you saying anything? No, you have to say you’re not annoyed and won’t abandon me. Quickly!”

Xu Chenghao turned to look at him for a few seconds, then suddenly said, “Have you prepared the outfit to meet my parents? And after the banquet, I’ll take you home—have you prepared a gift?”

Jing Yicheng gasped, “I’ll go prepare right away!”

With that, Jing Yicheng quickly got up and left, eager to make a good impression. Xu Chenghao shook his head with a smile and used the brief moment of peace to get some work done.

Which meant it was now the assistant’s turn to be bothered—
