Chapter 396: 396Lu Mohai’s Child_1

"Whose child is that?"

Wen Wanyu asked. It seemed like she was asking herself, but it also seemed like she was asking Lu Mohai. She really wanted to know the answer.

If it wasn’t a case of parthenogenesis, then whose child was it?

Ruan Qingyang would have only had the child willingly; no one would have been able to force her to do something she didn’t want to do.

"When did she have a child?"

Lu Mohai’s voice started to tremble. He looked at Wen Wanyu, seeming somewhat disoriented.

Maybe his heart was starting to tremble, starting to feel afraid.

"Her daughter is about to turn twenty."

The image of Lu Qingyi turned up in Wen Wanyu’s mind. She slightly raised the corners of her mouth, and her eyes brimmed with comfort.

Ruan Qingyang’s daughter was superb, and Ruan Qingyang was indeed deserving.

Lu Mohai’s fingers began to shake slightly. The look in his eyes when he gazed at Wen Wanyu was full of guilt.

"That year, unexpectedly, Lu Qingyi disappeared and I was unable to find her anywhere. It was as if she evaporated from the face of the earth."

Wen Wanyu reminisced about the year when Ruan Qingyang suddenly disappeared.

Her relationship with Ruan Qingyang had always been excellent. They saw each other basically every day and would text each other when they didn’t meet. However, one day, Ruan Qingyang suddenly cut off all contact.

No matter how she tried, Wen Wanyu couldn’t reach Ruan Qingyang. Her calls went unanswered.

She was terrified, anxious, but all she got was a text message from Ruan Qingyang saying,

’All is well, don’t worry.’

After waiting for more than half a year, she received a message from Ruan Qingyang asking her to go to Jin City to help her raise her child.

Ruan Qingyang said that she might not make it.

At that moment, Wen Wanyu felt that her whole world had collapsed. Seeing Ruan Qingyang, asleep and not breathing, Wen Wanyu was utterly dismayed.

"Did she get pregnant before or after she left?"

Wen Wanyu poured a cup of tea for Lu Mohai. Lu Mohai looked at the tea in his cup and slowly started to speak, his voice trembling.

If Ruan Qingyang had left because she was pregnant, then...

There were thoughts Lu Mohai didn’t dare to entertain, and his heart unaccountably began to tremble.

"I... don’t know."

Wen Wanyu held her cup, slowly lowering her head, her voice full of uncertainty.

She couldn’t be sure, nor did she have a way to find out.

"Perhaps she left because she was pregnant. It was six months after her disappearance that she sent me the text message. I expect the child had been born by then."

Wen Wanyu looked down at the flow of water in her cup, her expression was decidedly blank.

Six months. It’s impossible for a baby to be born in six months, not even a premature one.

Pregnancy is a process. Wen Wanyu carefully did the math and suddenly realized that Ruan Qingyang may have indeed left due to her pregnancy.

She had initially assumed that Ruan Qingyang’s child had been conceived via parthenogenesis, and therefore she hadn’t paid attention to the month the child was born.

Now, ruling out the possibility of parthenogenesis, Wen Wanyu was shocked to discover that Ruan Qingyang really had left because of her pregnancy.

This realization made Wen Wanyu’s heart tremble.

Pregnancy, Ruan Qingyang...

So, how did Ruan Qingyang get pregnant? Who was the man?

Suddenly, Lu Mohai stood up. The cup in his hand fell to the ground, shattering into pieces.

"I’m sorry, I’m sorry..."

Lu Mohai bent down and hurriedly started to pick up the fragments, his expression uneasy.

It was rare to see such a normally gentle and refined man in such disarray. This was the first time Wen Wanyu had seen Lu Mohai so flustered.

"What’s... wrong with you?"

Wen Wanyu looked at Lu Mohai, who was crouched on the ground picking up fragments.

"It’s my fault, it’s my fault..."

The sharp fragments cut his hand and tears welled up in Lu Mohai’s eyes. His expression was full of remorse and regret.

Wen Wanyu slightly furrowed her brows, she looked at Lu Mohai in confusion, unable to understand his actions.

Time seemed to stand still. Wen Wanyu was silent, and so was Lu Mohai.

"I had an accident with Qingyang..."

After what felt like an eternity, Lu Mohai stood up. He slowly opened his mouth, his voice filled with guilt.

An accident?

Wen Wanyu furrowed her brows, not quite understanding the meaning of Lu Mohai’s words.

"Where is the child now?"

Lu Mohai asked. That child, she might be his, maybe...

Lu Mohai didn’t dare to think further. He was suddenly assailed with fear.

"It’s not important."

Wen Wanyu gently shook her head. Where the child was really didn’t matter.

"What if... she’s my daughter?"

Lu Mohai took a deep breath and looked at Wen Wanyu.

What if...

Right now, Lu Mohai couldn’t articulate what he was feeling. He was suddenly overwhelmed with fear.

Wen Wanyu was stunned. She looked at Lu Mohai in disbelief, her eyes wide.

The daughter of Lu Mohai?

What...

"What do you mean?"

Wen Wanyu looked at Lu Mohai in disbelief.

"Qingyang and I had an accident. The child might be mine."

Lu Mohai lowered his gaze; the pain was visible in his eyes.

He and Ruan Qingyang had been together once, only once, and it was an accident. It was truly only an accident.

"When... when did this happen?"

Wen Wanyu suddenly felt overwhelmed by the information she was receiving. She pointed a finger at Lu Mohai, her teeth clenched.

Lu Mohai: "In the lab..."

Lu Mohai crouched down, slowly recalling the events of that day.

Ruan Qingyang had been conducting an experiment in the lab, as usual, and he had accompanied her, as he normally did. There were many substances in the lab, and he didn’t know what he had inhaled that day, but it had sudden dramatically increased his desire.

Ruan Qingyang had been his antidote.

Afterward, Ruan Qingyang didn’t say anything. However, her attitude towards him became increasingly cold and she often avoided him.

Two months later, Ruan Qingyang had disappeared from the face of the earth, completely vanishing from his world. He had searched the length and breadth of Kyoto but couldn’t find Ruan Qingyang anywhere.

He had always thought that Ruan Qingyang was avoiding him because of what had transpired between them.

Even Wen Wanyu had vanished from Wen Mansion at that time and he hadn’t been able to find her either. Therefore, Lu Mohai had thought that Ruan Qingyang was hiding from him.

During that time, Wen Wanyu was simply preparing to open a hot pot restaurant and had been constantly on the move.

"You bastard!"

Wen Wanyu clenched her teeth and, picking up a stick from the ground, furiously hit Lu Mohai with it. Lu Mohai didn’t even try to dodge.

"Yes, I’m a bastard."

Lu Mohai bore the pain in silence, berating himself in the depths of his heart.

Ruan Qingyang had died in childbirth because of him. If it weren’t for him, Ruan Qingyang would still be alive and well.
