“Yes, I’m listening.”
“Hurry and answer me, are you and Catherine alright?”
“My dear, your worries are completely unnecessary. But … I am still very happy.”
…
The cold war had been going on for a week.
Throughout the entire week, the two of them stayed under the same roof but rarely met each other.
They were like familiar strangers.
On this day, Luo Anning went to the hospital to check if the embryo had successfully fused with the uterus.
However, the result of the checkup made her crumble in despair!
The embryo slipped and was not compatible with the uterus and the conception was unsuccessful!
If the glimmer of hope that she saw previously was like the only oasis she encountered when she was thirsty in the desert, the oasis was now like a mirage!
Everything was false!
…
When Luo Anning returned to Luxury Mansion from the hospital, she locked herself up in the bedroom and refused to see anyone, eat or drink anything.
She would spend all day pondering over things while seated on the balcony.
When Rong Yan came home, he walked past the master bedroom and saw a glimmer of light through the door cracks. He paused and lifted his hand in a bid to open the door.
His hand levitated in mid-air but he lowered it at last and walked away without hesitation…
Luo Anning stayed wide awake until daybreak that night.
After pondering all night, she planned to tell Rong Yan of the news on the second day. At the end of the day, she was still a woman who could no longer conceive.
She decided to let Rong Yan make the decision.
She spaced out in the living room for an entire afternoon and waited for Rong Yan to come home. To her surprise, she received a call from Old Mr. Rong’s mansion!
…
She was out of sorts and she headed to Old Mr. Rong’s mansion.
Surprisingly, Rong Yan was not around this time. Instead, only Old Mr. Rong, Jiang Peihua… and Mo Xiyan were present!
The strange combination made Luo Anning feel an ominous hunch.
As expected, Old Mr. Rong questioned sternly, “Anning, are you hiding something from us? I’m giving you a chance to come clean now. Speak.”
Luo Anning glanced at Jiang Peihua in confusion, seemingly asking for help. However, Jiang Peihua simply looked away in disappointment.
Luo Anning’s heart sank and she shifted her gaze onto Mo Xiyan who seemed innocent yet smug.
After hesitating for a long while, Luo Anning said, “Grandpa… I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
She did not want to get too anxious before finding out what had actually happened. Hence, she decided to wait for Old Mr. Rong’s answer.
She could at least think of an answer on the spot.
However, she was over-idealistic, as they were clearly prepared.
However, Old Mr. Rong slammed his cane against the ground and hollered, “Luo Anning, you’re still thinking of lying to us at this juncture!?! Take a good look at what this is!”
The document was slammed against Luo Anning’s face as she closed her eyes and grabbed it..
Infertile for life…
How could such simple and ordinary words be so agonizing?
Old Mr. Rong barked angrily, “What do you have to say now!?!”
“I… don’t have anything to say… ” Luo Anning muttered while smiling in a self-deprecating manner.
“In that case, divorce Rong Yan immediately. I’ve already drafted the divorce agreement. Sign it!”
