Fierce Ex-wife: President, Please Be Careful

Chapter 498: A Conversation Between Siblings (2)

Su He did not understand Su Jifeng’s concern for her.
After she heard what Su Jifeng said, her face turned pale in an instant.
All that she could think of at the moment, was she was screwed!

“Jifeng, you found out.” There was some bitterness in the corners of her lips.
Her hands, which were gripping on the sheet, unconsciously tightened.
Veins were bulging on the back of her hands.

She was the sister he had doted on since they were little, after all.
When Su Jifeng saw Su He being in such a state, his heart went soft immediately.
He let out a sigh and sat down on the chair next to the hospital bed.
Then, he reached out and held Su He’s hands, which had clenched into fists.

As he expected, he could feel the clamminess in Su He’s hands.
He wrapped Su He’s hands that were one size smaller than his into his hands and passed on his warmth to her little by little, just like he had always done it when they were growing up.

Su He’s eyes reddened at once.
She prolonged her tone and called out in a low voice.
“Brother…”

Su Jifeng always gave in when she was acting like a child.
He said in a resigned manner, “Did you really think that you hid it well? You are still too green in front of me.”

Su He jolted in surprise and understood it instantly.

No wonder… No wonder over the past two months when she was staying at home, the duration of his stay at home had become shorter and shorter, but the time he came to visit her had become more and more.

No wonder the servants and maids in their house would deliberately avoid her on purpose lately, and took care of the chores for her when she was not around.

No wonder the food at home had become more and more bland and light, yet more nutritious and adapted to her appetite…

How could all of this be a coincidence if it was not for someone giving them instructions from behind? It turned out that all her masquerade, which she thought was infallible, had been seen through long ago.

Her brother had already known.
He was just waiting, waiting for her to tell him herself.

Her most beloved family was using his own unique way to care for her, to protect her.
Yet she let him down.

“*Sob… Brother, I am sorry.
I am sorry.” Su He moved her body to the side a little.
She opened her hands wide and hugged Su Jifeng’s waist.
Then, she buried her head into Su Jifeng’s arms, crying quietly.

She had never once forgotten that her brother’s embrace had always been her safest haven since childhood.
He had settled countless troubles for her without her being aware of it.
It was only when she was with him, could she let herself cry.
All the grievances she felt inside were vented out through her tears.

Su Jifeng just quietly hugged Su He back without saying a word.
He looked at the person in his arms in a gentle and indulgent manner.
His right hand gently stroked Su He’s back to prevent her from crying too hard and choking.

For a moment, the only sound left in the ward was a low whimper.
The ambiance was depressing and heartbreaking.

After Su He cried for a while, she finally calmed down a little.
Su Jifeng wiped her tears while deliberately putting on a stern face and lectured her.
“If it wasn’t for this accident, how long did you plan to hide it from me? Am I so unworthy of your trust?”

There was deep concern and heartache buried behind the mask of his sternness.
The tears that Su He had managed to hold back, started welling up in her eyes again.
Though this time, she tried hard to reverse the flow of tears and stopped them from flowing down again.

Su He took a deep breath and shook her head vigorously.
She explained in a hoarse voice, “It’s not… It’s not that I don’t trust you.
I was just afraid…”

“What were you afraid of? Afraid that I will blame you for not cherishing yourself and foolishly letting yourself suffer this? Or were you afraid that when I found out about this matter, I would get Young Master Ye Yan killed in a fit of anger?”

Su He’s upper half of body that was buried in Su Ji Feng’s arms abruptly stiffened.
She raised her head and stared at her brother with an incredulous expression on her face.

Su Jifeng looked at Su He’s expression.
He could no longer put up a stern face.
He reached out and pinched her nose in a disapproving manner, “Are you that surprised that I found out about that man?”

“No… No… I…” Su He opened her mouth and tried to explain, but Su Jifeng cut her off first.
He asked directly, “Xiao Qi, about that Young Master Ye Yan, is he the one who you mentioned back then?”

Su He stiffened.
Her head, which had already raised, lowered back down again in an instant.
Her lips pursed and she imperceptibly nodded.

Su Jifeng’s eyes flickered.
He continued and asked, “Is he the father of the baby inside your stomach?”

Su He hesitated for a moment before she nodded again.
Then, she added in a muffled voice, “But he doesn’t like me.” To be precise, it was that he had forgotten about her, forgotten about the promises they once made to each other.
And now, they were nothing but … strangers!

The light in Su Jifeng’s eyes grew colder and colder.
“Do you still like him then?”

Su He was stunned.
‘Does she still like him?’ Su He asked herself.
Though the smile on her lips became even more bitter.

Of course she liked him! She had to admit that she still liked that man.
So many years of emotions for him had accumulated little by little.
Together with her yearning and anticipation of him, her feelings for him were like a snowball in the winter, rolling bigger and bigger.

She had so many feelings for him.
They could not just disappear at once.
However, even if she liked him, what was the point?

A one-sided relationship would not end well.
And she was not the kind of person who liked to get entangled.
Her relationship with Ye Yan, which should have been completely broken off on that night a few months ago, had been maintained because of this baby that came unexpectedly.

Su He reached out and touched her belly, feeling the wonderful feeling of the little life quietly living inside her belly, connected to her bloodline.

Even Su He herself did not expect that this little thing had gotten herself into so much trouble the first time it greeted her, and she had almost lost it.

This baby was an accident.
When Su He just only found out about its existence, she did not deny that she had thought of getting rid of it.
However, the incident this time had made Su He realize for the first time just how precious this baby was.

Su He had felt an unprecedented fear when she saw the blood flowing out from underneath her.

She was afraid that the little thing inside her belly, which had bonded to her, would leave her body together with the blood, never to return.

At that moment, she realized that she had cared so much about this baby without even being aware of it.

She was twenty-two years old this year.
She had spent the past fourteen years pursuing someone who now could no longer be hers.

So now, in the following days, she needed another directional indicator to support herself.
And this directional indicator, no doubt, was the baby in her belly.
Therefore, she must keep him!

“Does it still matter if I still like him or not? We will never be together.
All I want right now is to give birth to my baby safely and raise him.” Su He looked up at Su Jifeng as she said that.
There were some traces of pleading and determination in her eyes.
“I want to keep this baby.
Brother, I want to keep this baby! Help me! Will you help me keep him, please?”
