Bargain

0"Impossible!" Ling Yutong cried out. "Shiting, you're lying to me, right? You were the man that night! I called your name, and you didn't deny it! And the next morning, I saw the note you left! I recognized your handwriting!"

Ji Shiting frowned and said, "What's was written on the note?"

"You said…" Ling Yutong choked for a bit and continued," You said… Even if I used my body as a bargaining chip, you still wouldn't be able to help the Ling family get through this. I knew then that it might really be over between us. "

The man she loved thought she was using her body as a bargaining chip. She was almost heartbroken, but she didn't explain herself in the end. She knew that Ji Shiting had already said that he wouldn't help the Ling family, so she would only be embarrassing herself even if she explained.

After that day, she rushed to the bank and the court, hoping to save her father. Unfortunately, her father was still sentenced.

Ji Shiting had been watching from the sidelines.

And then she realized she was pregnant.

She had gone to see Ji Shiting for the last time, intending to tell him about the child, but her pride prevented her from saying anything, so she chose to break up.

She had thought that she would tell Ji Shiting about her pregnancy if he didn't agree.

However, she was disappointed.

Ling Yutong still remembered the man's solemn expression. There was no reluctance in his eyes.

She couldn't help tearing up.

Ji Shiting saw how she was trying to control herself, so he paused for a bit and said, "Obviously, someone imitated my handwriting and misled you."

Ling Yutong clenched his fist and found it difficult to breathe. "No… Impossible… Shiting, you must be lying to me!"

"If it were me, I wouldn't have touched you at all that night." The man looked at her and said calmly. "After all, I thought you had betrayed me. At that time, I wanted to break off the engagement with you, but something happened to your family, so I didn't mention it."

Ling Yutong felt dizzy.

She looked at the man's pitiful eyes and realized that he was telling the truth.

"Besides, it's about your father," Ji Shiting added. "If he was framed, I might not mind reaching out to him even if I misunderstood you. However, he's definitely guilty."

Ling Yutong's lips parted several times, but he didn't say anything.

It turned out that all her grievances and humiliation were all a joke. If she hadn't thought that the child was Ji Shiting's, she wouldn't have given birth to Little Zheng so decisively.

The warm veil on that night in her memories was suddenly removed. Her blood turned cold at the thought that that man was just a stranger.

"Who… is it?" She said with a bitter smile. "Who is Little Zheng's father?"

"I'm still investigating." Ji Shiting thought for a bit. "You spent a night with him after all. Perhaps you can give me some clues."

Ling Yutong opened her mouth and bit her lips, "There are no clues. I don't remember anymore!"
