Chairman Husband, Too Boorish - 229

Chapter 229 : Consistent Testimony.

“Xi Cheng, I’m pregnant, we’re having another baby …”

Yan Liang spoke cautiously, her voice choked with emotion. Liang Xi Cheng’s embrace of her abruptly stopped. She hugged him even tighter, her voice hoarse as she spoke, her head buried against his chest. It was a genuine feeling of relief after hardship, a desperate attempt to hold onto this hard-won happiness, this sudden joy—

“… Xi Cheng, I really didn’t expect to have a baby so soon. God is so kind to us, isn’t He? We lost a child, and I thought I’d never have the chance to be a mother again, but now … I’m pregnant again, I’m having another baby, Xi Cheng, I’m so happy, so very happy …”

She wanted to share this joy with him immediately, so she eagerly awaited his arrival, her happiness making her forget all her fears. Even the red paint that had been splashed on her earlier didn’t bother her, and even the vivid nightmare she had just had was forgotten.

"... Baby, we're having another baby?"

Liang Xi Cheng felt his heart tremble. If Yan Liang was a lost treasure he had found, then this child in her womb, just as she had said—was a gift from heaven.

It was so precious that, even breathing felt incredibly delicate in front of the child's mother.

"We're having a baby, Xi Cheng, really! Feel it."

Yan Liang took the man's large hand and gently placed it on her lower abdomen. She clearly couldn't feel anything there yet, but both of them looked incredibly excited. Liang Xi Cheng pulled her into his arms again, as if embracing his life's faith. He showered her with tender kisses, wiping away the tears on her face, drawing their two wounded hearts even closer together.

"... Baby, thank you, thank you for everything you've given me. This time, I will definitely protect you and our child. Thank you."

The man's thin lips pressed against hers, a warm kiss on the corner of her lips, each word a vow, "... Promise me, no matter what happens, you must believe me. I haven't divorced Ye Qing yet, because the Ye family has been dragging their feet on a peaceful settlement, but I will find a way. You must believe me. From now on, leave everything to me. You just need to take care of yourself, understand?"

How could she not believe him?

They had been through so much together, and now they could finally let go of their burdens and be together without restraint. Of course she believed him, and she had long been prepared to give him everything.

Liang Xi Cheng pressed his lips to hers, his deep voice still explaining, "... Baby, I'll have someone investigate this matter thoroughly. Don't be afraid, just stay in the hospital for a few days. I'll stay here with you. If the Ye family still refuses to sign the divorce agreement, I'll hand it over to a lawyer. If this matter really goes to court, given Ye Qing's current situation and the evidence he had in my hands, the Ye family doesn't have much of a chance of winning."

Yan Liang kept nodding, holding Liang Xi Cheng, greedily absorbing his warmth. He had said a lot to her, mostly to soothe her emotions. She knew he was worried she would overthink things, especially after someone inexplicably splashed paint on her; he was probably even more worried now, plus she was pregnant.

Liang Xi Cheng gently placed her on the bed, carefully tucked her in, and then leaned down to kiss her cheek before tiptoeing out of the room.

Someone was already waiting outside. Upon seeing Liang Xi Cheng, they immediately bowed respectfully, "... Chairman Liang."

"Has the matter been investigated thoroughly?"

Liang Xi Cheng stood with his hands in his trouser pockets. The tenderness he had shown in the hospital room was completely gone, replaced by a cold and stern expression on his handsome face.

“Chairman Liang, we’ve found one of the people who threw red paint at Ms. Bai. Someone called the police when it happened, so they're investigating. There were originally three people involved, but one escaped, another is currently at the police station, and we’ve arrested one. We’ve already checked with people, and both of their statements, whether to the police or to us, are consistent.”

Liang Xi Cheng nodded, loosening his tie. “Who ordered them to do this?”

The assistant hesitated for a moment before cautiously saying, “… They all say it was Ms. Liang Jing Shan who ordered them to do it.”

Liang Xi Cheng didn't say anything. After about two minutes, he waved his hand. "Take him to the police station."

The assistant naturally knew the relationship between Liang Jing Shan and Liang Xi Cheng, so he wasn't surprised that Liang Xi Cheng hadn't said anything after he reported. He was simply told to take the person to the police station, and the assistant immediately obeyed and left.

After the person left, Liang Xi Cheng dialed Liang Jing Shan's number.

Actually, this number was saved in his phone. When he looked for it, he vaguely remembered that he hadn't contacted this number for almost a year.

Liang Jing Shan's childbirth wasn't smooth sailing. A woman who valued her appearance, she had heard that natural childbirth offered better recovery, so she opted for it. However, she endured excruciating pain in the operating room for over four hours without giving birth. She eventually requested a C-section midway through. She endured all the hardships, but her husband wasn't by her side. Everyone from the Liang family went to help. Liang Xi Cheng was the last to arrive; as Liang Jing Shan's brother, he couldn't refuse. When he arrived, he learned the baby had already been born. He took a quick look around the hospital and then went to the ward. Many people were gathered around the bedside. When Liang Jing Shan saw him, her eyes lit up, seemingly surprised.

Then Liang Xi Cheng remembered her timidly calling him "Big Brother."

Actually, at that time, Liang Xi Cheng still felt a little uneasy. He was a man who valued family and kinship very much. Liang Chong Shan never wanted internal strife within the Liang family, but over the past year, Liang Xi Cheng's heart had become less focused on his family. Although Liang Chong Shan harbored some resentment, he dared not say too much.

However, at that time, Liang Xi Cheng genuinely felt guilty. He had once doted on this younger sister, but later, things had turned out this way …

He couldn't say he bore no responsibility whatsoever; even if some things were, in a way, her own fault.

The phone rang. The call connected, and Liang Xi Cheng heard the phone ring again. On the other end of the line, Liang Jing Shan's voice, surprisingly tinged with trepidation, called out, "... Brother, why are you calling me?"

"Jing Shan, where are you?"

Liang Xi Cheng didn't have time for pleasantries and went straight to the point, "Are you still in City C? I'm in City C right now. Tell me where you live, and I'll come find you."

"…"

Liang Jing Shan was indeed in City C. She was currently in a hotel room. Since her flight was tomorrow morning, she planned to stay an extra day before returning home. She had told Ning Zhi Yuan she was going on a two-day trip when she left City A, so she had calculated the time carefully.

She thought her trip to City C would be discreet, but Liang Xi Cheng knew everything.

Remembering that she had just met with Bai Yan Liang, and now her brother was coming to see her, Liang Jing Shan felt a pang of unease. She had only met Bai Yan Liang once, and frankly, she hadn't gained anything. Was it necessary for Bai Yan Liang to complain to her brother so quickly?

"... Brother, I'm in City C. How did you know?"

Liang Xi Cheng frowned, his voice unusually calm. "Where are you? I'll come see you now."

Liang Jing Shan thought, what had she done wrong? Why was she afraid of anyone seeing her? Even if she came to City C to see Bai Yan Liang, so what? She really hadn't done anything wrong. Did she need to be so delicate? It's just to see her once, and it requires such a big fuss? If she really marries into the Liang family, won't she be giving me attitude every day?

"I'm at the XX Hotel."

Liang Jing Shan gave a hotel name and room number, then said, "... Brother, I have seen Yan Liang. If you're coming to see me because of this, I ..."

"We'll talk when we meet."

Liang Xi Cheng hung up before the person on the other end could say anything. Before leaving, he went back to the ward, checked on Yan Liang who was still sleeping, and ordered someone to guard the ward door before finally leaving.
