Emma sat opposite him, her hands habitually placed on her stomach. She was silent for a long time before speaking again: "Is there anything you want to tell me?"
Xiao Rui clenched his fists and still lowered his head. It took him a while to hold back two words: "Congratulations."
Congratulations on getting married, congratulations on... being a mother soon.
A sense of despair welled up from the bottom of my heart, and my whole body was lifeless, like a dying person waiting for death, without even the strength to struggle.
Emma feels distressed. She feels distressed for Xiao Rui like this. If she didn't feel distressed, she wouldn't come all the way across the ocean just to tell him, Xiao Rui, I'm pregnant with your child. He will immediately
He was born, can you live a good life for him?
"Xiao Rui, can you raise your head and look at me?" Emma spoke to him softly.
Xiao Rui buried his head lower.
Emma, Xiao Rui doesn't want you to see him like this now. He is unbearable and not handsome. He just wants you to always remember the Xiao Rui who was very kind and easy to you when you were a child.
No matter what the purpose of approaching you, I have always loved you sincerely.
"Even if you don't want to see me, don't you want to see your child?" Seeing Xiao Rui being so negative, Emma could only release a bombshell.
Sure enough, Xiao Rui suddenly raised his head that was almost buried in his chest, his lifeless eyes reflected shock and surprise that he couldn't hide.
"Me, my child?" He stuttered a bit.
Emma looked at his bearded face, caressed his round belly, and said with gentle eyes: "Xiao Rui, I am pregnant with your child. It has been nine and a half months, and the due date is in the next few days."
Xiao Rui seemed to be hit by a huge pie, petrified on the chair, looking at Emma and her belly with burning eyes.
There... there is a little life, his child, his bloodline.
The almost dead heart seemed to have been infused with nutrient solution, and instantly came to life, beating thumping thumping, ecstatically, and full of mixed emotions.
He involuntarily stretched out his hand across the table, trying to touch her belly, but he stopped halfway and placed it on the table in frustration. He covered his face with his other hand, tears dripping from between his fingers.
"I'm sorry, Emma." His voice became choked: "I'm sorry, Emma. I'm sorry, Emma."
He owes her thousands of words of sorry, he also owes her thousands of words of I love you, and he also owes her thousands of words of thank you.
Sorry, Emma.
I love you, Emma.
Thank you, Emma.
If he still has a chance, he is willing to spend his whole life making up for it.
Emma gently took his hand and put his palm on her swollen belly. She could feel his fingertips trembling, and she could also feel his tenderness. He was so cautious, for fear that the unfamiliar palm would
Scared the sleeping baby.
"Don't be afraid, he is very courageous. Every time I go to the hospital for prenatal check-up and do B, he will interact with the doctor and is very naughty. This is not like us at all. I don't know who he looks like." Emma said.
As he spoke, he encouraged him to boldly feel the baby's existence.
Being led by Emma to caress her round belly, Xiao Rui didn't dare to move at first, for fear that he would scare the baby. Only with Emma's encouragement did he dare to move a little, and this move immediately felt like triggering a mechanism.
Like, causing the baby to punch and kick.
Xiao Rui could clearly feel a small foot kicking his big palm, and he could also clearly see a small fist punching Emma's belly left and right, as if he was practicing martial arts inside.
"Does it hurt?" Xiao Rui felt very distressed. The little guy was making such a fuss inside, and he was afraid that Emma would be in pain.
Emma shook her head gently, her smile full of affection: "It doesn't hurt. He usually only has fetal movements at night. Now he must know that his father is touching him, so he is excited."
Xiao Rui was extremely moved. This was his child. His child was interacting with him, as if calling him daddy.
The little guy interacted with Xiao Rui for a while before he stopped. He suddenly stopped moving, which startled Xiao Rui. He asked nervously: "What's wrong with him?"
"I'm tired. I've been playing longer than usual." Emma told him not to be nervous. How could a child keep moving? They were sleeping most of the time.
Xiao Rui felt relieved and reluctantly took back his hand.
Emma held him when he stopped. Her hand was a bit warm, which made Xiao Rui nervous: "Is it burned? Why is it so hot?"
"Don't be nervous about me and the baby all the time. Pregnant women have high body temperatures. It's normal for my hands to be a little warmer. Both the baby and I are doing very well. The only bad thing is that dad is not with us." Emma held his hand in hers.
In her hand, his hand was a little cold, so she used her hand to warm him.
Xiao Rui lowered his eyes guiltily: "Emma, I'm sorry."
"Xiao Rui, I took my baby and risked my life across the ocean to sit in front of you. What I want to hear is not sorry. I heard that you haven't confessed yet, why not? We've already reached this situation, and you're still here
Are you lucky?" Emma started to get to the point.
Xiao Rui took a deep breath and held Emma's hand: "Emma, I... just want to keep the Xiao Group. My parents are old and I can't be filial to them in the future. I just want to leave some pension money for them.
.”
Xiao Rui knew very well that it didn't make much difference whether he confessed or not, and the law could still punish him.
But since he did not plead guilty and did not take the initiative to confess, the economic investigation found no conclusive evidence of the Xiao Group's crimes. In the end, even if the Xiao Group would significantly reduce its size, it would still be able to leave some assets behind, which would be enough for his parents to live a comfortable life.
For the rest of my life.
He is the only son of the Xiao family. He doesn't know how many years he will be sentenced, but he always has to make some plans for his parents.
"What about me, where is the baby? Don't you think about it for us? Do you want the baby to be born without a father? Xiao Rui, can you work hard for me and the baby? I have consulted a lawyer, and the lawyer said that you are like this
As long as you actively cooperate with the investigation and actively submit evidence, the lawyer can help you get the maximum commutation. If you perform well in prison, the lawyer can apply for a second commutation for you later, and you will not be in jail for a long time.
The baby and I will wait for you outside, okay?" Emma requested eagerly.
Xiao Rui was worried that it would be dangerous for her to get emotional, so he hurriedly said: "Okay, I promise, I promise, don't get excited."
Emma's eyes lit up: "Really? Xiao Rui, you didn't lie to me, right?"
"No, Emma, thank you for giving me a chance, thank you for being willing to keep this child, thank you... for loving me." Xiao Rui stood up, walked over, bent down and hugged her, and whispered in her ear.
Said five words softly: "I love you, Emma."
Emma cried. After waiting for so many years, she finally waited for these five words. She didn't mind waiting for a few more years. She had already waited for more than ten or twenty years. In the future, she would not feel bitter waiting with her baby.
