Liang Anya curled her lips and took another breath: "Is it true that once I give birth to the child, you will let me and my family go, and never bother us again?"
Her tone was very calm, very gentle, unlike her usual attitude toward herself, which Si Yuheng found a bit unaccustomed to.
Something in his heart suddenly loosened: "Yes."
"I hope you keep your word and don't go back on it."
Exchanging a child for freedom and the safety of her family seemed like a good deal, after all.
Si Yuheng heard submission in her voice, and his gaze darkened slightly.
She had already compromised and agreed to have the child, so he should be reassured.
But why did he feel a little unhappy now?
"Don't worry, I've said that all I want is the child."
After a while, he closed the bathroom door with a 'snap' and left.

Anya had been out shopping for groceries for a long time and had not returned, Jiayi was not initially very worried.
