Chapter 978: Can't Ruin His Entire Life

Seeing the unease and confusion in Baili Xia’s eyes, Dongfang Jin’s gaze was gentle, and his words always carried a touch of determination.

“If you’re afraid that I’ll treat him badly in the future, then I’ll undergo a vasectomy.

I won’t have my own children in the future.

I will always…”

“Jin, don’t say such things!

Don’t, please don’t…” Baili Xia grabbed his hand tightly.

“I don’t want you to do this for me, Jin, it’s not worth it, not worth it.”

“I think it’s worth it, as long as I feel it’s worth doing for him.”

“No, you can’t.” To not have his own children his whole life, and to regard her child as his own, how could that be allowed?

She was already in this state; she couldn’t ruin his happiness for a lifetime.

Who wouldn’t want their own children?

Being young now, one might not feel it, thinking they could also go without their biological children for a lifetime.

But as he would get older, he would eventually want them.

He absolutely didn’t need to sacrifice so much for such a woman, so tainted and unworthy of his compassion.

Really, there’s no need.

“You still don’t understand. As long as I think it’s worth it, it is worth it. Whether it’s necessary or not isn’t for you to decide.”

Dongfang Jin held her hand back, a hint of a smile in his eyes.

“I will also cherish you and love you, and of course, if you’re unwilling, I’ll never force you to do anything you dislike. I’m not that despicable.”

She didn’t speak, just looked at him, and tears eventually started to slide down.

She had become tearful lately, ever since she got pregnant, she cried easily.

It wasn’t that she had become weak; she just couldn’t control her tears.

“I’ll give you time to think, okay?” Dongfang Jin patted the back of her hand and stroked her hair, his eyes always filled with gentle pity.

“The competition among the Eight Big Families starts next week.

You shouldn’t participate.

The fight is ruthless, and I’m afraid they will hurt you.”

“No, I must go.” Perhaps, this was the last thing she could do for the Mu family.

Because she didn’t know whether she would participate in the third match after this one.

If she didn’t participate, Ziqing and Ziying would definitely be disappointed.

Uncle would also be disappointed, and Wu Ming…

She took a deep breath and met his gaze again.

Even though her eyes had lost all their sparkle, at least she wasn’t panicking anymore.

“I’ll go back and think it through properly, think about… how I should proceed.”

Dongfang Jin, reflecting her delicate yet uneasy features in his eyes, sighed softly.

“There’s nothing much to think about.

If you can’t find a better way, then do as I say.”

“Stay with me, don’t be afraid of Mu Xiaojiu, he can’t hurt you.

Even if it costs me my life, I will definitely protect you and the baby in your belly.”

But she still shook her head: “Jin, I really appreciate how good you are to me, but it’s not worth it.”

“I said, whether it’s worth it or necessary, I make the call.”

Why couldn’t this girl fully rely on him even now?

“I won’t pressure you anymore, but I won’t give you too much time to make your decision, because I…”

He paused, his gaze shifting from her face to the front, a trace of bitter and helpless smile forming on his lips.

“Because I’m really afraid, very afraid that you’ll end up choosing to face it alone, to bear it alone.”

She wouldn’t understand, he…

was really afraid, very afraid.
