After Rebirth, I Married the Archenemy of My Ex-Husband

Chapter 346

Xia Qiqi suddenly burst into tears, her heartache palpable as if the sky was collapsing. Just the fact that she had slept with Xiao Nanchen was enough to push her to the brink of despair, and now she was pregnant with his child. She felt that it would be better to just die.

"I know you're going through a tough time," An Nuan tried to console Xia Qiqi, "but the child is not solely yours. It's not fair to be so selfish and make decisions on your own. Here's what we can do: go back and have a sincere conversation with Nanchen. Even if you don't want to keep the child, at least let him be informed."

Xia Qiqi could never argue with An Nuan. Whenever An Nuan earnestly reasoned with her, she felt that she was in the wrong and An Nuan was right.

Accompanied by An Nuan, Xia Qiqi went to the doctor's office to inquire about her condition. The doctor provided a professional response, stating that in the field of medicine, it is still unclear whether alcohol has a definite impact on fetal development. In other words, it's a matter of probability—there may or may not be issues, but generally, there shouldn't be any problems.

After seeing the doctor, An Nuan accompanied Xia Qiqi back home. Since learning about her pregnancy, Xia Qiqi had been wearing a desolate expression. The once lively and cheerful woman had deflated like a balloon.

An Nuan glanced at Xia Qiqi and realized that saying anything at the moment would be futile. It would be better to let her calm down and perhaps gain some clarity.

An Nuan took out her phone and sent a message to Xiao Nanchen, preparing him mentally for what was to come.

"Nuannuan," Xia Qiqi suddenly spoke up.

An Nuan had just finished sending the message and was startled by Xia Qiqi's voice. It was as if she had been caught red-handed doing something wrong.

Clearly, Xia Qiqi hadn't seen anything.

"I want to go see Nie Ziming," Xia Qiqi stated.

An Nuan's expression changed completely. "Will it help if you see him?"

"I don't know, but I just want to go see him. I don't want to see Xiao Nanchen, not even for a second."

"Do you think you'll feel better if you see Nie Ziming? You won't. It will only make things more difficult between you two," An Nuan analyzed seriously. "Tell me, whether you tell Nie Ziming about the pregnancy or not, what do you expect his response to be? Do you want him to tell you to keep the child or to hear him say you should have an abortion?!"

Xia Qiqi bit her lip.

Every time she acted willfully, An Nuan would shut her down.

"No matter what the outcome, you don't want to hear it. So why go see Nie Ziming now?" An Nuan spoke frankly.

Xia Qiqi leaned back in her seat.

She really wanted to just crash into something.

The car arrived at the apartment where Xia Qiqi and Xiao Nanchen lived.

An Nuan accompanied Xia Qiqi back home.

As they entered the house, Xiao Nanchen was sitting on the sofa.

The television was playing an animated show.

An Nuan couldn't help but smile.

Had Xiao Nanchen embraced his role so quickly?!

An Nuan was about to say something when Xia Qiqi suddenly became agitated. "An Nuan, you're not allowed to say anything!"

Clearly, she didn't want An Nuan to tell Xiao Nanchen.

An Nuan pursed her lips.

She yielded to Xia Qiqi.

After all, she had already spilled the beans.

But Xia Qiqi's actions like this, they must have hurt Xiao Nanchen in some way.

An Nuan didn't bother to observe the changes in Xiao Nanchen's expression; instead, she watched Xia Qiqi storm back to her room.

An Nuan quickly caught up and followed Xia Qiqi into the room.

Xia Qiqi lay on the bed.

She was clearly still in a state of collapse.

"Take a rest first, and later we can discuss the matter of the child with Nanchen," An Nuan whispered.

She knew that Xia Qiqi had indeed been overwhelmed by today's blow.

"An An," Xia Qiqi lay on the bed, looking at her, "I really don't want this child."

An Nuan pursed her lips.

"I have no feelings for Xiao Nanchen. Bringing this child into the world would only harm him. Instead of letting him be born into an unhappy family and suffer for a lifetime, it's better to end it early and spare him from all the pain that would come after birth," Xia Qiqi suddenly became profound.

Whenever Xia Qiqi became profound, it meant that she was truly serious.

Serious about doing something.

"If you're afraid that the child won't be happy after birth, the best solution is not to deprive him of the right to be born, but for you both to create a happy environment for him. You can choose to live well with Xiao Nanchen, you can choose to love Xiao Nanchen..."

"But I don't love him."

"Have you tried?" An Nuan asked.

"No need to try."

"Without trying, there's no convincing power. Qiqi, you must remember that you are now married to Xiao Nanchen, you and Xiao Nanchen are husband and wife, there is no turning back, no waiting for the day when Xiao Nanchen decides to divorce you. If Xiao Nanchen never figures it out, you'll just keep dragging on, maybe for a lifetime."

"No, I won't spend my whole life with him."

"Did you want to get married?" An Nuan asked her.

"Of course not."

"But you still got married," An Nuan stated bluntly.

Xia Qiqi's heart ached.

"So divorce is not something you can have just because you want it. To put it more bluntly, your current mindset is not only harmful to you and Xiao Nanchen, but also to Nie Ziming. You've been giving Nie Ziming hope, but have you ever thought that if you really entangle yourself with Xiao Nanchen for a lifetime, do you intend to let Nie Ziming wait for you alone and grow old in loneliness?" An Nuan decided to persuade her in a different way.

Xia Qiqi was receptive to gentle persuasion.

Clearly.

An Nuan's words had indeed made Xia Qiqi feel uncomfortable.

"Qiqi, being a person can't be so selfish. Many times, it's not all about living for oneself. You also need to consider whether the people who treat you well will be hurt by your capriciousness," An Nuan looked at Xia Qiqi's changing emotions, and said with deep concern, "Qiqi, although everything that has happened now is not voluntary, in the end, you have married Xiao Nanchen, slept with him, and conceived a child. Do you really think you can cleanly and gracefully withdraw from this marriage? If I were you, when everything has come to this point, I would choose to let go. Let go of your prejudice against Xiao Nanchen, let go of your attachment to Nie Ziming, and start a new life."

"But I'm not willing to." Xia Qiqi's eyes were filled with tears.

She understood An Nuan's reasoning.

She had come this far with Xiao Nanchen, and she had no right to seek out Nie Ziming anymore. Even if Nie Ziming said he would wait for her indefinitely, from her standpoint, it was impossible to be with him as if nothing had happened, seamlessly transitioning.

What she couldn't accept was not being able to have Nie Ziming's love.

What she couldn't accept was that Xiao Nanchen used such despicable means, and yet she chose to let go of everything and start anew with him.

Why?

Xiao Nanchen could live the life he wanted.

And she and Nie Ziming had to let go of everything to fulfill him!
