C596 Too Much Shame
Xia Xingcheng smiled. She didn't seem to be flustered when she moved, but she had the temperament of a lady from a noble family.
Her slow and leisurely appearance could be considered to be normal, but Yun Chen felt that Xia Xingcheng was very pretty.
Quietly retracting his gaze, Yun Chen suddenly thought of something and could not help but say to her, "Xingcheng, I remember you are the Xia family's daughter."
Xia Xingcheng was slightly taken aback. She didn't expect him to suddenly mention this matter. There was a momentary awkwardness on her face.
Xia Family had always been an existence that she didn't want to talk about. She didn't know why Yun Chen would suddenly ask.
"I used to be Xia Family's daughter, but ever since they sold me to them, I wasn't."
When Xia Xingcheng said this, her face showed determination.
Yun Chen naturally understood why Xia Xingcheng had such an expression.
When Xia Xingcheng's father came to him and said that he wanted to sell his daughter to him, he saw that there was not a single trace of guilt on the man's face, and he knew that they must not love their daughter.
He didn't have much of an impression of kinship, but he knew that they definitely didn't have a good relationship.
Thinking about this, Yun Chen suddenly had an expression of sympathy for her.
This was something he had never had before.
"I heard that the eldest son of the Xu family, Xu Hao, was once your fiancé. Now he's going to marry your sister. Could it be that Xiaobao is Xu Hao's child?"
Yun Chen asked word by word, not letting Xia Xingcheng's expression go.
As expected, when Xia Xingcheng heard Xu Hao's name, she suddenly felt as if she was scalded. She frowned and looked at Yun Chen.
"Why are you asking these questions today?"
Today, Yun Chen was a bit confused. However, Xia Xingcheng didn't know why.
Yun Chen slowly withdrew his gaze and took a sip of the red wine beside him.
"Would you believe me if I told you that I'm just curious about the father of the child in your womb?"
The sincerity in his words was something that had never been seen before, and he quietly looked at Xia Xingcheng's face.
At this moment, Xia Xingcheng's heart was filled with complicated feelings.
That unbearable past, and all the hardships she had suffered abroad for five years, it was actually still very painful to think about it now.
Her father's incomprehension, her stepmother's mistreatment, her sister's framing and bullying, all of these made her unable to breathe.
After a long while, Xia Xingcheng took a deep breath. She said to him very seriously, "Yun Chen, the father of the child, I don't know who he is."
That night, she was set up by Xia Xingyan and was drugged and unconscious. When she woke up, that person had already left, so she didn't know who he was.
Furthermore, in her subconscious, Xia Xingcheng would not want to recall that night.
It was because she was being pressed down by someone, making her look like she was being slaughtered. It was truly too shameful.
Besides, she knew her sister. What kind of man could she find for her? The more disgusting she felt, the better.
Yun Chen wasn't too surprised after hearing Xia Xingcheng's words.
If that child's father was really Sheng Yeting, then they wouldn't have come to this day.
However, the more this woman didn't say anything, the more curious he felt in his heart.
He really wanted to know.
Yun Chen was silent for a moment. Seeing that Xia Xingcheng obviously didn't want to continue the topic, he kept quiet.
After the two of them finished their meal, Xia Xingcheng saw that it was getting late, so she went straight back.
Yun Chen seemed to be getting weirder and weirder, as if he was focused on thinking about something.
Yun Chen only said that he had some important matters to deal with and sent two of his men to escort Xia Xingcheng back.
Xia Xingcheng didn't think too much about it.
However, what she didn't know was that Yun Chen was looking at her back with rapt attention after she left.
He had the urge to get to know this woman better.
This impulse seemed to have taken root and sprouted in his heart, growing stronger and stronger.
After a long while, Yun Chen seemed to have thought of something and his eyes lit up.
"You, do something for me."
When Yun Chen's men heard the order, they immediately walked to his side.
"Boss, what are your orders?"
Yun Chen pursed his lips as his lips formed an evil smile. He slowly said, "Help me investigate what happened five years ago before Xia Xingcheng became pregnant."
In other words, he suddenly wanted to know who the father of Xia Xingcheng's child, Xiaobao, was.
It was hard to say why he was so desperate, just as he had no reason to do so.
It all depended on his mood.
His subordinate accepted the order and walked away, leaving Yun Chen, who was still deep in thought.
The reflection in his brown eyes was as deep as it used to be. No one knew what he was thinking about.
Today, Xia Xingcheng had to admit that she was a bit tired.
Although she was tired, she could clearly feel that the child in her womb was very happy.
Yes, she had been quite tense lately and hadn't felt this relaxed in a long time.
After returning home, Xia Xingcheng cleaned herself up and prepared to rest on her bed.
Xia Xingcheng took out her phone and looked at the time. It was probably the time when Xiaobao had just finished his meal. She hesitated, but still sent a message to Xiaobao.
"Xiaobao, are you there?"
She didn't dare to always send messages to Xiaobao, afraid that Sheng Yeting would notice the abnormality.
Therefore, she only dared to send a message to Xiaobao at dinner time.
Xia Xingcheng remembered that Sheng Yeting always went to work in the study room after dinner.
On Xiaobao's side, he was waiting for his dad to finish his work in his study, while playing the iPad.
At this moment, Xiaobao saw that his dad had been busy with his work, so he couldn't wait to send a message to Mommy.
However, he was too timid and worried that his father would find out, so he pretended to play games.
At this moment, the announcement sounded out on Weibo, giving Xiaobao a fright.
He was so nervous that he forgot to turn off his voice.
Ye Zichen quickly sneaked a glance in the direction of his dad, and saw that dad didn't even look at him, so he didn't notice anything wrong.
Xiaobao finally felt relieved.
With an excited and nervous mood, Xiaobao opened the message from Mommy.
Seeing the news about Mommy, Xiaobao was extremely happy. He quickly replied: "Mommy, Xiaobao is in the study room. Xiaobao really misses Mommy."
When Xia Xingcheng saw Xiaobao's news, she was so scared that her face turned pale.
