Having a Child

"Donate a kidney to Wanwan, and we will have a child," the man's voice was ruthless, and his eyes betrayed an unmistakable disgust.

Yun Qingqing stared in astonishment at the man who sat on the couch, displaying an aloof attitude. Her pale face appeared almost eerie. She had just donated a considerable amount of blood to Wen Wan, and her body had grown so weak that she had fainted, only to awaken now. And now she had to give up a kidney to have a child with Lu Yanchen?

Two years ago, Lu Yanchen had said the same thing to her. "If you donate blood to Wen Wan, we will get married," she had agreed. After all, she had long been infatuated with Lu Yanchen. She had firmly believed that through proximity, he would come to like her and eventually fall in love with her.

However, in the two years of their marriage, Lu Yanchen had spent more time with Wen Wan than with his wife. He even had never slept with her. Yet, Grandfather Lu kept urging them to have a child. But how could she have a child without physical intimacy?

Perhaps, she had thought, having a child might bring her and Lu Yanchen closer. The irony in her smile grew more pronounced.

While others might joke about trading a kidney for an iphone, she was considering trading her kidney for a child. Lu Yanchen stood up and approached Yun Qingqing's bed, impatience evident in his voice.

"What are you laughing at?"

Yun Qingqing burst into laughter. "I'm laughing at myself, for being so foolish."

She had fainted from excessive blood loss, and Lu Yanchen had shown no concern for her, only expecting her to donate a kidney to Wen Wan.

Lu Yanchen was taken aback for a moment before he spoke in a low and confident tone,"Wen Wan's kidney transplant surgery is scheduled for three days from now. Take good care of yourself; I don't want her to receive a flawed kidney."

With those words, Lu Yanchen strode away. He was confident that Yun Qingqing had agreed to donate her kidney to Wen Wan. However, just as he was about to reach the door of the hospital room, he heard Yun Qingqing's resolute declaration.

"I will not donate a kidney to Wen Wan."

Stopping in his tracks, Lu Yanchen frowned lightly, convinced he had heard wrong. Yun Qingqing couldn't possibly say no to the chance of having a child with him.

Turning back, Lu Yanchen looked at Yun Qingqing in the hospital bed and asked in a cold tone, "What did you just say?"

Clearing her throat, Yun Qingqing spoke slowly and deliberately,"I would rather giving my kidney to a street dog as food than donating it Wen Wan. Do you hear me?"

Lu Yanchen, appearing frustrated, pressed a finger to his temple. "Yun Qingqing, why can't you be more reasonable? Donating a kidney to Wen Wan won't greatly affect your life. But if she doesn't get this kidney, her life will be in danger."

Hearing Lu Yanchen's words, Yun Qingqing stared at him in disbelief for a long moment. She couldn't believe the person she had loved for so many years was cruel enough to say such things. When had her eyes been blinded?

With great effort, Yun Qingqing finally found her voice, now hoarse. "If losing a kidney won't greatly affect one's life, then why don't you donate your kidney to Wen Wan?"

Lu Yanchen hesitated for a moment before he spoke softly, almost mockingly, "Your kidney is the best match for her. Take good care of yourself here, and I'll have someone bring you meals."

With those words, and without giving Yun Qingqing a chance to respond, Lu Yanchen walked out of the hospital room.

As she watched the door being closed firmly, Yun Qingqing's tears flowed like a river, as if they cost nothing.

In the two years since their marriage, she attended to Lu Yanchen diligently, tending to his laundry and culinary needs with an abundance of warmth and care.

When Lu Yanchen fell ill, her anxiety surpassed even his own, a testament to her devotion.

However, the result was far from the warmth she sought. Not only did she fail to rekindle the fires within his heart, but she also unwittingly fueled his desire to part with her, to an extent where he contemplated extracting her very essence.

At present, while her kidney remains intact, Yun Qingqing finds that her heart has already been excavated, leaving her emotionally raw.

Amidst her tears, Yun Qingqing unleashes her fury upon her pillow, pounding it relentlessly.

It wasn't until the hospital room door was pushed open, and Bai An'ning entered that Yun Qingqing stopped. She looked at Bai An'ning with her eyes red and swollen..

Bai An'ning took out a tissue from her bag and handed it to Yun Qingqing. After she wiped away her tears and managed to regain some composure, Bai An'ning asked softly, "Qingqing, are you sure about getting a divorce?"

Yun Qingqing nodded vigorously. "An'ning, Lu Yanchen doesn't like me at all. He only married me to get me to donate blood and a kidney to Wen Wan."

Tears welled up in her eyes once more, and Yun Qingqing felt pain all over her body.

Bai An'ning took out a printed divorce agreement from her bag and gently patted Yun Qingqing's shoulder. "I can help you with the property distribution."

Yun Qingqing knew that Bai An'ning was a highly skilled lawyer, but she had been too naive. She pursed her lips and managed a smile that was even uglier than her crying face. "Thank you, An'ning, but we signed a prenuptial agreement. His assets have nothing to do with me."

Bai An'ning wasn't surprised by this response. She didn't scold Yun Qingqing for being dumb. Instead, she asked softly, "When do you plan to talk to him about the divorce?"

Yun Qingqing picked up the divorce agreement from the table. "He should be in Wen Wan's ward right now. I'm going now."

She took a few shaky steps. Her head was spinning, but she wanted to divorce Lu Yanchen immediately. She feared that if the marrige lasted any longer, she might lose her kidney.

Bai An'ning held onto her arm. "Qingqing, I'll go with you and help record a video and audio."

"Thank you, An'ning." Yun Qingqing's icy heart warmed ever so slightly.

They arrived at the entrance to Wen Wan's hospital room, where Bai An'ning not only activated the recording function on her phone but also turned on her voice recorder, making doubly sure they had everything covered.

Without knocking, Yun Qingqing pushed open the door and entered. She saw Wen Wan sitting on the hospital bed, while Lu Yanchen sat beside it, peeling an apple.

Yun Qingqing's emotions were complicated. Lu Yanchen had never peeled an apple for her; it was always her who did it for him. Taking the apple from Lu Yanchen's hand, Wen Wan took a bite and then looked at Yun Qingqing, smiling sweetly.

"Sister Qingqing, thank you for being so generous to donate a kidney to me."

Hearing Wen Wan's words, Yun Qingqing nearly lost her balance. When had she agreed to donate a kidney to Wen Wan? She didn't even know!

Fortunately, Bai An'ning, standing behind Yun Qingqing, quickly steadied her. After regaining her composure, Yun Qingqing turned to Lu Yanchen.

Before she said anything, Lu Yanchen spoke up coldly "You should take a rest in your room now, what are you doing here?"

Seeing Yun Qingqing's face, as pale as a sheet, Bai An'ning expressed her concern. "Qingqing, are you feeling okay?"

Yun Qingqing nodded, forcing a smile. "I'm fine."

Taking determined steps, Yun Qingqing walked over, and her smile became somewhat sinister as she faced Wen Wan.

"No need to be polite. I will not donate my kidney to you. Congratulations, you won't have to be the mistress anymore."

With those words, Yun Qingqing tossed the divorce agreement onto Lu Yanchen's face.
