Zhuo Feng immediately came to life under her gaze, leaning forward and saying, "Given the current situation, even if you say it's not his, he may not fully believe it. And even if he does believe it and agrees to the divorce, when the child is born, he will still find a way to know if it's his. When that time comes, won't you and the child have to return to him? So what's the point of going through this divorce?"
Hearing this analysis, I felt almost hopeless.
Yes, it would only be a few months until the child is born.
I left Xiao Minxing and stayed with Mina, struggling to complete this matter, dragging so many people into it. In the end, if the test shows the child is his, he will definitely want to take her back; that's something no one can stop.
All of us have gone through so much trouble only to end up back at square one. What was the point of all this?
Su Qian shifted his gaze back to me and after a few minutes said, "I have an idea that might put you in a difficult position, but it could lead to a good outcome."
Not just me, even Mina and Zhuo Feng turned their eyes toward him.
Su Qian sat up straight, his expression more serious than ever. The words that came from his mouth were not heavy but carried an unavoidable weight.
"The fundamental solution to this matter is for Anan to remarry. That way, even if he has doubts, without the consent of her parents later on, he cannot use the child for testing."
As soon as these words were spoken, Mina immediately looked at me.
I was also stunned.
I hadn't thought about remarrying anyone. Even if I considered using Su Qian to trick Xiao Minxing into a divorce, it was only meant for him to appear as a temporary boyfriend until we got through the most critical period before parting ways.
Marriage has already been enough for me this time; if I couldn't hold on with someone I loved, how could I manage with someone I didn't love?
Mina had already asked first: "Setting aside how to find a suitable person in such circumstances, even if one is found, can Anan handle it? Her feelings for Xiao Zong..."
She didn't finish her sentence, but I knew what she meant.
Only Mina knew how many years I waited for Xiao Minxing, and my feelings for him were irreplaceable.
Su Qian continued from where she left off: "That's why I said it would be difficult for her. Moreover, this person can't be chosen randomly; they must be able to withstand Xiao Zong's pressure to some extent. If one day he changes his mind or wants to make trouble, someone must stand up to protect Anan."
I am more desperate now, even considering giving up.
In Haicheng, although Xiao Minxing is not one of the top figures, he is well-known in the circle. The only thing holding him back is the burden from his family, but anyone can see his strength. In just a few years, there will be fewer and fewer people who can catch up with him in this place.
Now, it's impossible to just find anyone; I need to find someone comparable to him. How could that be possible?
The situation has nearly reached a deadlock, and I have lost hope. If it doesn't work out, I might as well run away myself. Even if I carry the engagement with him, can he really chase me to the ends of the earth?
The world is so big; there must be a place to settle down somewhere.
Before I could speak, Su Qian said, "I was the one who took Anan to the hospital last time and accompanied her for her prenatal checkup. Moreover, if I'm not mistaken, Xiao Zong must have some misunderstandings about me and her. This matter may take a while to explain, but it's not hard to understand."
Mina and Zhuo Feng were both looking at us.
It was clear they were confused and didn't understand Su Qian's meaning at all.
I looked at him, thinking about the things we had done together. Undeniably, Xiao Minxing had indeed hurt him behind his back, and a large part of the reason was my suspected closeness to him. It wasn't just him; he almost didn't allow me to get too close to any man, not even someone like Ye Guang. So how could it be Su Qian?
Su Qian paused for a moment, as if waiting for us to digest this information before continuing: "Since he has already misunderstood, let's just solidify this matter. We can falsely claim that the child is mine. As long as we control the situation well and don't let it leak out, we can talk to him privately and then let him get a divorce. After that, I will marry Anan."
He spoke very calmly and looked around at us after finishing.
But I was nearly wide-eyed in shock.
Marry him?
How could I possibly marry him? Leaving aside whether there is love or not, I simply don't deserve him.
I am a divorced woman with an unborn child, no family background, and a difficult ex-husband. How could I be with Su Qian?
Mina was also stunned. She first glanced at Zhuo Feng, then turned back to look at me before finally focusing on Su Qian again.
After a long time, she asked, "What are you thinking?"
Su Qian's face finally revealed a slight smile at this moment, restoring his past elegance. The shallow dimples on his face, paired with his relatively fair skin, looked very attractive.
"What I mean by marriage isn't really marriage; it's just getting a certificate and living our own lives. You see, Xiao Minxing already misunderstood. If we get married next, he will definitely believe it completely and won't come to ask about the child anymore. Even if he does ask, you should have confidence that I can handle him, right?"
At this point, he deliberately glanced at Mina and Zhuo Feng.
I couldn't hold back any longer and rejected him, saying, "This won't work; it's too unfair to you. You're still unmarried now and will eventually find someone you love. Our fake marriage won't last a lifetime; what will you do then?"
Su Qian seemed completely unconcerned. "If you're willing, it could last a lifetime. After all, I'm an anti-marriage person. To be honest, I don't feel much about love. Besides, after we marry, we will each have our own lives; it's just for show. This way, my family won't be anxious anymore since they will have a daughter-in-law and a grandson. They won't urge me to find someone else. Where's the unfairness in that? It's clearly mutual assistance."
I had been drawn into his reasoning and surprisingly found it quite sensible. However, upon seeing Mina's expression, I suddenly realized that things weren't that simple. Yet I couldn't think of a rebuttal and just sat there awkwardly.
Zhuo Feng also remained silent, finishing the water in his glass while Mina quietly poured him another cup.
Although Su Qian was still sitting in his place, he sat up straight, appearing taller than each of us and exuding a unique presence.
I looked at Mina, almost pleadingly asking, "What should we do?"
She didn't provide me with a clear answer but instead said, "How about this? Today we're discussing things; we can't settle everything with just one conversation. Let's have Anan consider it again to see if there's a better solution before making a decision."
Su Qian did not respond to her words but shifted his gaze to my face. After looking deeply at me for a moment, he said, "If there really comes a day when we get the certificate, I won't do anything you dislike, so I certainly won't force you to accept this suggestion."
