Chapter 711: 0701 is just a mistake


    “He doesn’t need to know, because a year from now will be your death anniversary. Wait for your descent into Hell, bastard!!”


    The two of them began ying a game of cat and mouse on the fifth floor, with Ye Zhichen looking on,pletely frantic.


    Due to themotion, it didn’t take long for a crowd to gather around.


    “Uh… What happened here? Catching a cheater or something?”


    “Don’t know, but I just heard that girl say that man slept with her woman…”


    “So, is this a scene of the wife beating up the mistress?”


    “Such a pity, such a beautiful girl, turned out to be a mistress? The country’s resources are indeed dwindling.”


    “No kidding, all the good-looking ones are taken internally, what are we singles to do?”


    “If all else fails, we’ll have to take matters into our own hands!”


    “You’re out of luck!”


    “Why?”


    “You’re too ugly!!”


    “…”


    “…”


    Seeing the situation getting out of hand, Ye Zhichen was beside herself with anxiety.


    “Xiao Ran, stop chasing him—-”


    “Chi Mu, stop messing around—-”


    One of them busily ying hero.


    The other, jumping all over the ce.


    Neither of them listening to her.


    Su Ran, dragging a steel pipe, rushed over regardless of the consequences. She was about to bring it down on the man’s body.


    Just at that moment, in a panic, Ye Zhichen rushed out and stood between them.


    Su Ran’s eyes widened, terrified to her core; she abruptly jerked her hand to the side.


    Chi Mu’s pupils shook fiercely, and without thinking, he grabbed Ye Zhichen’s wrist, pulling her behind him. He then turned around, shielding her with his body, his back to Su Ran.


    The next second.


    “ng”! The steel pipe struck the ground!


    Both of them were in a panic, staring anxiously at Ye Zhichen’s stomach.


    “Zhichen, are you okay?”


    Ye Zhichen stepped out from Chi Mu’s embrace, her pale face showing a trace of lingering fear.


    “I’m fine.”


    Upon hearing this, Su Ran breathed a sigh of relief, but the next second, she was seething with anger again.


    “What were you thinking running over here? Don’t you know how dangerous that was? Or do you still want to protect this bastard even now?”


    Chi Mu’s expression darkened, the panic in his eyes subsiding into a silent stillness.


    “Xiao Ran, I wasn’t trying to defend him, I just didn’t want you to do something impulsive that would bring trouble upon you, and besides, it’s not necessary!”


    At this, Su Ran’s expression softened slightly.


    The next second, her icy re was directed at Chi Mu once more.


    “What are you doing here?”


    Chi Mu, with a dark face, “I am the child’s father.”


    Those words stoked the fire in Su Ran’s heart.


    “Now you remember you’re the father? Where have you been all this time? How dare you question Zhichen? Who gave you the audacity? Was she forcing you? Or do you think she was eager to have your child? Since your heart isn’t clean, don’te out and harm others! Didn’t we agree not to interfere with each other? Why did you touch her?!!”


    Chi Mu’s brows furrowed deeply, his facial expression as if covered with ayer of frost, signaling an imminent storm!


    Ye Zhichen clenched her fists at her sides, her pupils quivering slightly.


    In the end, she slowly lifted her head, her face full of determination.


    “Xiao Ran, let me talk to him alone.”


    Su Ran frowned, “What do you have to talk to him about?”


    Ye Zhichen took a deep breath, her face returning to calm.


    “He’s right, after all, he is the child’s father!”


    Chi Mu couldn’t help but frown, looking at Ye Zhichen with a cold and stern gaze.


    Su Ran was uneasy about Ye Zhichen, but since she was resolute, only after giving Chi Mu a sinister look did she say:


    “I’ll be right next to you.”


    Ye Zhichen nodded at her moved, “Hmm.”


    At the end of the corridor around the corner, there was peace and quiet.


    On the corridor, only Chi Mu and Ye Zhichen were present.


    Ye Zhichen stood by the window, looking at the scenery outside, her facial expression was exceptionally calm.


    “What do you want to talk about? Speak!”


    Chi Mu had been silent all along, listening to Ye Zhichen’s serene voice, he slowly turned around, his dark eyes prating deep into hers.


    “The child, what do you n to do with it?”


    The cold voiceced with frost made Ye Zhichen’s icy heart chill even further.


    Ye Zhichen smiled lightly, “What do you want me to do?”


    Chi Mu narrowed his eyes, slowly approaching her, his voice devoid of warmth and harshly piercing.


    “Ye Zhichen, you should know, our rtionship was a mistake from the beginning, and this child, too, is a mistake!”


    Knowing the man’s cruelty, but hearing such ruthlessness from him, Ye Zhichen’s heart still constricted suddenly.


    She was also aware that he wouldn’t agree to her keeping the child, but facing the reality was still so painful it took her breath away.


    Her fingers trembling slightly, she gathered all her strength andposed herself, saying:


    “Do you think I would use this child to entangle you?”


    As she spoke, she slowly looked up at Chi Mu.


    On the man’s handsome face, there was now a smirk of ridicule.


    In his dark eyes was the familiar coldness and disdain, even with a touch of threat.


    His gaze, sharp as a knife, stabbed straight into her heart.


    Ye Zhichen’s knuckles turned white as she, the next second, curved her lips into a cruel smile.


    No less intense than the man’s.


    “It’s a pity, I never had that intention. If you hadn’t made such a fuss, this child… would’ve been aborted long ago!”


    Upon hearing this, Chi Mu’s ck eyes imperceptibly narrowed, and even the sarcastic smile on his lips unwittingly retracted.


    He watched the woman who seemed indifferent, a wave of indescribable rage welling up in his chest.


    After a long while, the arc of his lips widened gradually, his eyes gleaming with a fragmented smile that didn’t reach his eyes, emanating an aura of cold disdain.


    In the stagnant air, his cruel voice sounded again.


    “It’s for the best.”


    Ye Zhichen curved her lips into a simr arc, “Don’t worry, it won’t cause you any trouble.”


    With his simple response, the fury within Chi Mu’s chest deepened. His gaze lingered on her t abdomen for a moment and then he walked forward.


    In the air remained the sound of his resolute voice.


    “Since you’ve decided not to keep it, get rid of it soon! Ye Zhichen, there should be no ties between you and me, not even the child!”


    Behind him, at the moment his words fell, a tear escaped from the corner of her eye and shattered on the ground.


    The spreading ripples were like Ye Zhichen’s fractured heart.


    Yet, after heartbreak came calm!


    She raised her hand to wipe away the tear at the corner of her eye, regaining her usual independence and strength.


    She walked towards Su Ran as if nothing had happened.


    Su Ran was the first to see Chi Mu. Seeing that Ye Zhichen was not behind him, her eyes shot daggers at Chi Mu.


    “Where’s Zhichen?”


    Chi Mu kept a straight face, turned around, and saw Ye Zhichen approaching calmly.


    Su Ran quickly went to her side, examining her and seeing she was unharmed, she breathed a little easier.


    “Are you alright?”


    Ye Zhichen shook her head, looking at Su Ran.


    “Xiao Ran, have you paid the surgery fee?”
