Chapter 293: Dispute
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Nan Kang’s patience was wearing thin.
“When I was sleeping the day before yesterday, the baby kicked me in the stomach…”
Zheng Yue couldn’t help but share what she had experienced in the past few days with Nan Kang.
“I’m going for a pregnancy checkup soon. I feel like the baby is growing very quickly. When I went to get the clothes just now, it was still moving.”
Most of them were trivial matters that happened after she got pregnant. However, Zheng Yue spoke with relish and forgot to drink water.
Zheng Yue had many things to tell Nan Kang. She couldn’t stop talking, and the water in her hand turned cold.
Nan Kang couldn’t help but remind her for the third time, “Aren’t you going to drink water?”
He didn’t have much patience to begin with. After listening to Zheng Yue for more than 20 minutes, Nan Kang was about to explode.
“Oh right.” Only then did Zheng Yue remember.
She didn’t think that there was anything wrong at this moment as she thought that Nan Kang was probably just concerned about her. Moreover, her mouth was indeed a little dry after saying so much.
Zheng Yue held it for a long time and didn’t realize that the water wasn’t hot anymore.
After she finished speaking, she brought the cup to her mouth and wanted to take a sip. However, as soon as her lips touched the water, she realized that the cup of water had already turned cold.
“Hiss—” Zheng Yue turned her head away and couldn’t drink it. “This water is so cold. Can you get me another cup?”
It was late March, and the old house she had rented was not very good at retaining warmth. Hence, when the water turned cold very quickly, Zheng Yue was not too willing to drink it. It was not good for the child in her stomach.
“Can’t you just drink this cup?” Nan Kang frowned.
The medicine he had brought had all been poured into this glass of water. When he heard Zheng Yue say that she didn’t want to drink it and wanted a new glass of water, Nan Kang subconsciously looked unhappy and his tone became stronger.
Zheng Yue was shocked by his behavior. “I just feel that drinking cold water is not good for the child.”
She explained carefully. Besides, she was not usually so pretentious. She had said that just now because it was a special period and Zheng Yue did not want any accidents to happen.
However, Nan Kang’s repeated emphasis on drinking water made Zheng Yue realize that something was wrong.
She silently shrank back. Her intuition told her that something was wrong with Nan Kang.
“I don’t want to go and pour for you again. Just drink this cup.” Nan Kang was a little frustrated.
He unquestionably placed the glass of cold water in front of Zheng Yue again. His cold eyes flickered as he looked at Zheng Yue with invisible pressure, as if he was forcing her to drink this glass of water.
Zheng Yue was shocked by his sudden change in attitude. She looked at the glass of water and then at Nan Kang. Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something and widened her eyes in disbelief.
“You lied to me!” she yelped.
Zheng Yue subconsciously retreated. She stood up from the sofa and took a few steps back to distance herself from Nan Kang.
Zheng Yue finally noticed the problem in the glass of water and gradually woke up from Nan Kang’s pretense of warmth.
Her throat was dry and uncomfortable, but she didn’t dare to touch the glass of water at all. At the same time, she had to be wary of Nan Kang, afraid that he would do something compulsive to her.
Zheng Yue’s breathing quickened. “You were lying when you said that you wanted to have a good talk! You just want me to abort this child, right?!”
At this point, Nan Kang naturally could not be bothered to pretend.
He looked at Zheng Yue’s terrified expression, and the smile on his face faded to nothingness.
“You’d better drink it yourself.” Nan Kang pointed at the glass of water. “Don’t force me to feed you personally.”
He didn’t seem to be joking. As he spoke, he rolled up the cuff at his wrist.
“Drink it or no one will look good when things blow up.”
Nan Kang’s words were like a devil’s whisper to Zheng Yue.
Zheng Yue shook her head wildly, not wanting to do as Nan Kang said.
She hurriedly wanted to run out. She could go anywhere, as long as Nan Kang didn’t catch her.
Nan Kang did not hesitate. Seeing that Zheng Yue was about to run, he got up and walked quickly towards her.
“Where else do you think you’re going?” Nan Kang grabbed one of her hands.
Zheng Yue’s body was heavy and she couldn’t dodge even if she wanted to. Before she could run far, Nan Kang controlled her body.
His strength was shocking. Like an iron clamp, he firmly pulled Zheng Yue towards the table.
Zheng Yue was also anxious. “1 said I don’t want to drink it!”
She was so angry that her chest rose and fell. At this moment, neither of them cared about their past relationship. They had actually fallen out over the child.
Nan Kang ignored Zheng Yue’s words. He only had one goal now, and that was to make Zheng Yue drink the medicine.
“Come here!” His stance was unyielding.
He did not pity her at all. His strength was so strong that Zheng Yue felt like her wrist was about to be dislocated.
How could Zheng Yue dare to drink the water? She was dragged over by Nan Kang, but she did not forget to struggle out of his control.
She fluttered around in a flurry, making Nan Kang even more annoyed.
The two of them were in a stalemate situation in the room, but it was mainly Nan Kang who had the upper hand.
Nan Kang reached for the glass of water. “Drink it.”
He was a man after all, so he was definitely much stronger than Zheng Yue. Coupled with the fact that Zheng Yue was pregnant, she did not dare to move much even as she struggled.
“Boohoo…” Zheng Yue’s face was covered in tears.
She shook her head haphazardly, her free hand touching everywhere. Not long after she grabbed the sofa, she was pulled away by Nan Kang.
Seeing that the glass of water was gradually approaching her, Zheng Yue seemed to have a survival instinct and struggled much harder.
Nan Kang was caught off guard and loosened his grip.
It was also this opportunity that Zheng Yue’s hand happened to touch the bookcase beside her. She hurriedly grabbed the base of a vase like a straw to clutch at.
Crack!
Without thinking, Zheng Yue smashed the vase she had casually grabbed.
“You f*cking—” Nan Kang couldn’t help but curse.
He felt a pain on his head and was stunned. Therefore, he loosened his grip on Zheng Yue.
Warm blood flowed down from the top of his head. Nan Kang wiped his face belatedly and realized that Zheng Yue’s merciless blow had directly caused his head to bleed.
Scarlet blood stained his eyes, turning Nan Kang’s vision red.
The vase had shattered all over the floor, and the originally tidy room was now in a mess.
Nan Kang’s cheeks were also burning. He had probably been scratched by the broken pieces of the vase.
He almost blacked out but he relied purely on his anger to not faint. However, this daze allowed Zheng Yue to break free and run out.
At this moment, it was already dark outside. Only the faint twilight on the mountaintop helped Zheng Yue see her surroundings.
“Phew—Phew—” She gasped for air.
Zheng Yue didn’t care anymore. After smashing Nan Kang, she turned around and ran out.
The situation was urgent. She put on her slippers and ran out. The cold wind blew on both sides of her face like sharp knives, making her afraid.
But in reality, how far could a pregnant woman with a child run?
Zheng Yue was only a little faster than a normal person. When Nan Kang regained his senses and chased after her, he managed to catch sight of her. “Stop right there!” Nan Kang shouted.
He held his bleeding head and abandoned his usual elegance. His clothes were in a mess as he followed Zheng Yue.
Zheng Yue trembled at his shout and did not dare to stop..
