Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 589: Chapter 584: Misunderstanding

Fang Xiu was thinking about the man who had been good to her, but she felt so tired, especially when thinking about returning to the Jing family. Her heart was so burdened she could barely breathe.

“He probably won’t let me abort it.” Fang Xiu knew how much the man liked children, Taotao had almost been spoiled rotten by him since he returned.

“So you know I disagree, but you still want to proceed?” Jing Xin had noticed something was off about his wife’s demeanor, so he took half a day off to find out what had happened.

Unexpectedly, he overheard her conversation with Qin Xue. He waited outside, but he had no idea he would hear such joyful news. But before he could even revel in his happiness, he heard his wife did not want the child. His heart instantly turned cold.

Fang Xiu and Qin Xue heard a voice. They simultaneously looked toward the door and saw a visibly distressed Jing Xin walk in.

“Jing Xin, I…” Fang Xiu stammered, knowing Jing Xin was angry. Every time he got angry, his fingers would unconsciously curl around each other.

“Qin Xue, you should go first. I want to talk to her.” Jing Xin ignore Fang Xiu, and spoke softly to Qin Xue.

...
“Alright, you two talk things through. Be careful with your words, don’t go overboard. She’s pregnant, so dramatic emotional changes are not good. We should share everything and talk it through to solve problems.” Qin Xue decided to leave to avoid adding more trouble.

“Qin Xue, thank you.” Jing Xin expressed his sincere gratitude.

“Don’t say that. Xiuxiu, I’m going. Make sure you talk things through.” Qin Xue waved at Fang Xiu.

“Okay, take care on the way.” Fang Xiu tried to force a smile.

“Stop it, your fake smile is worse than crying. I’m leaving.” Qin Xue commented on Fang Xiu’s forced expression.

She even closed the door for them. It’s better not to let others overhear their conversation. The door would be closed temporarily. Business felt sloppy.

“Xiuxiu, is there something you want to tell me?” Jing Xin sat in the chair previously occupied by Qin Xue, quietly waiting for his wife to speak. But after a long while, she said nothing, so he couldn’t help but speak up first.

“Jing Xin, I don’t want this baby.” After hesitating for a bit, Fang Xiu decided to put it out there.

Her words pierced through Jing Xin’s heart like a knife.

“Why?” Jing Xin asked with a painful look on his face.

“I just don’t want it! Why does there have to be a reason?” Fang Xiu yelled strenuously.

“You’re really cold-hearted. You were willing to give birth to Taotao even when you thought I was dead. Why do you want to get rid of this baby now that I’ve come back? How can you do this to me?” Jing Xin asked Fang Xhiu in a hoarse voice, expressing the pain he felt inside. The agony in his voice made Fang Xiu’s heart ache.

“If I knew you were still alive, I wouldn’t have given birth to Taotao.” Upon hearing this, Fang Xiu became angry. All the grievances she had endured over the years came flooding back. Why should she suffer so much because of him? What right did he have to blame her?

“Mama, Daddy.” Taotao woke up, rubbing his eyes and mumbling at his parents.

“Taotao, did mama wake you up?” As soon as Fang Xiu heard her son’s voice, she wiped away her tears using the back of her hand and tried to smile while asking him.

“Mama, don’t cry.” Taotao sat up and helped his mother wipe her tears using his baby hands.

Hearing her son’s innocent words, Fang Xiu’s tears fell like broken pearls, even harder than before.

“Daddy, mama’s crying.” Taotao looked helplessly at his father, hoping he could help.

“Enough, stop crying. You can decide for yourself. If you really don’t want it, then do it. I have to go back to work.” Jing Xin tried to suppress the pain in his heart, looking at the mother and son crying pitifully on the bed, and spoke bluntly.
