Chapter 2123: Chapter 2123 – If I Become Pregnant, I'll Give Birth to the Child

“Will she stay then?” Shen Luo’an wondered .

Shen Luo’an had already taken advantage of Shen Manting’s amnesia to trick her into registering their marriage .

It had just been slightly over half a month since she regained consciousness . Her body had almost fully recuperated and now, she had begun to menstruate again .

“If Shen Manting became pregnant at this point in time, I would never let her leave,” Shen Luo’an’s thoughts were racing .

He looked at her as this thought crossed his mind and his eyes glowed .

However, he quickly looked away and reached out to change the bedsheets to distract himself . “Sure . But this isn’t something that we can control . If you do become pregnant, surely we can’t abort the child,” he said .

When Shen Manting heard this, she subconsciously touched her stomach and whispered, “Will the child die if we abort it?”

“Yes,” Shen Luo’an replied . He then turned around and looked at her seriously before slowly stating, “Ultimately, it’s still a living creature . If you kill a living being, isn’t that the same as murder?”

Shen Luo’an spoke gravely as he looked at Shen Manting .

When Shen Manting saw his expression, she felt slightly terrified . She then asked timidly, “So it’s considered murder if I don’t want to give birth to the child?”

“There isn’t such a saying,” said Shen Luo’an as he placed the bedsheets down . “But it’s a tiny living creature and it has chosen you . If you don’t cherish it and even choose to abandon it, isn’t it as good as murder? Don’t you think so?” he questioned seriously .

Shen Luo’an’s logic was infallible and Shen Manting was momentarily at a loss for words .

She subconsciously caressed her stomach without saying a word .

“It’s just like how your biological parents abandoned you on the streets when you were young . Back then, if there hadn’t been that kind-hearted person who sent you to the orphanage, wouldn’t you be dead already? What your biological parents did was as good as killing you . Doesn’t that make them a murderer then?” Shen Luo’an said .

Shen Manting could not help but rebut and say, “But they gave birth to me . I have not even given birth to the child yet . Isn’t that…”

“That’s why you have to raise the child after you give birth to it,” Shen Luo’an had cut her off . “If you become pregnant and are unwilling to give birth to the child, then how are you different from them?” he asked .

Shen Manting was rendered speechless once again .

“So I have to give birth to the child if I become pregnant?” she asked . Shen Luo’an looked at her seriously and said, “Actually, giving birth to a child isn’t as painful as what you imagine . You have already experienced it once, so don’t be afraid because you survived through it before . ”

“This time, I would be by her side . I would accompany her from the start until the end and I would take good care of her,” Shen Luo’an thought .

At first, Shen Manting was extremely certain of her decision . However, when she saw Shen Luo’an’s face full of anticipation, she was instantly swayed .

She looked down, in an attempt to hide her face from his overbearing gaze as softly replied, “If… If I become pregnant, I’ll give birth to the child . If I’m not pregnant, then I’m not having a child . ”

Shen Luo’an finally grinned and embraced her gently before planting a kiss on her forehead as he whispered, “Ok . ”

When Shen Manting saw how happy Shen Luo’an was, she instantly felt as though she was a lamb that had just entered a lion’s den; she felt as though she had just fallen into his trap .

She could not help but retort and exclaim, “If I do not become pregnant, you cannot and must not resort to despicable means to make me pregnant!”

Her cheeks were puffed up as she warned him seriously .

Shen Luo’an’s heart turned cold but he did not say anything, pretending that her words had not affected him . He then hugged her and gave her a quick peck on the lips .

Shen Manting could vaguely guess something was amiss and felt strangely displeased .

She quickly shoved him aside and turned to walk away from him .
