AMRWFA -Chapter 118 That Ex-Girlfriend Who Wanted to Run Off with the Baby

Zhao Ya was completely intimidated by him.

She knew Shi Jiucheng too well—proud, stubborn, and always a man of his word.

If she didn’t get in the car, he would have kept blocking her there endlessly.

With no other choice, Zhao Ya and the child in her womb reluctantly got into the car.

Shi Jiucheng didn’t say much after that. He only asked which hospital she had booked and then drove them straight there, upgrading her to a VIP ward.

Once there, he busied himself from one end to the other. His face never softened, but his actions were gentle and meticulous, attending to her every need.

She only had to lie there while he handled everything.

He even, without her noticing, signed his own name and contact information on the family section so that the doctors could reach him if anything happened.

Of course, the doctors couldn’t help but say a few words.

“The mother only comes at the time of delivery. She went through so many tests alone before this, and I didn’t see her husband. I thought she had none.”

“Sorry! Work was busy.”

“No matter how busy you are, you can’t neglect your wife and child. What could be more important than work and your family?”

“You’re right. I’ll pay more attention next time.”

…

Zhao Ya opened her mouth, wanting to say: He’s not my husband. We aren’t married.

But for some reason, the words never came out.

A few hours later, the Shi family group chat exploded. A photo of a wrinkled newborn, along with a message from Shi Jiucheng, appeared:

“I’m a dad now!”

His older brother Shi Yuhui was the first to notice: “Whose is it?”

Shi Jiucheng: “Mine!”

Shi Yuhui: “I know it’s your godson. I’m asking who the biological parents are? Which of your buddies became a dad?”

Shi Jiucheng: “Mine! Biological!”

That single message set the group chat on fire.

“Whose?!”

“Shi Jiucheng is a dad?!”

“Wait, when did you even have a girlfriend? How come we didn’t know?”

“@Shi Jiucheng, are you there? What’s going on? You had a baby but aren’t even married! Are you planning to get married later?”

“@Big Bro, @Sister-in-law, this is bad. Come out quick. Shi Jiucheng has an illegitimate child.”

…

Watching silently, Shi Yanli thought: I knew it—what Aunt Xu said couldn’t be false.

Seeing her parents stir in the chat, Shi Yanli quickly messaged the family subgroup:

“Don’t forget, this was predicted by Aunt Xu. His ex-girlfriend, because he refused to marry her, broke up with him.”

Shi Yuwen: “Scumbag!”

Shi Chaowen: “Isn’t he afraid of Aunt Da? She’s so fierce…”

Shi Yanli: “Exactly. He knew Aunt Da wouldn’t approve, so when he dated her, they agreed it would just be a relationship, not marriage. She’s pregnant now—what could she do?”

Shi Yanli: “Shi Jiucheng refused to marry her, so she broke up and decided to have the child herself.”

Shi Yanli: “If it weren’t for Aunt Xu’s prediction, he would never have known he had a child in his life.”

The chat went silent.

Thinking of the time when their whole family was nearly wiped out, Shi Yanli realized that by leaving this child, Shi Jiucheng’s ex had actually done a good deed—preserving the Shi family’s bloodline.

Ma Wenli: “What now? Knowing my sister-in-law’s temper, she probably won’t approve. She’s always wanted a proper, refined lady for her son.”

In other words, she wanted a wealthy, well-bred marriage—basically a business alliance.

Shi Guofan: “Hard to say. It depends on what the eldest brother thinks.”

Ma Wenli: “Maybe you should check with your brother first?”

Shi Guofan: “I just got scolded by my brother. Even at my age, why would I divorce you?”

Shi Guofan: “@Ma Wenli, wife, can we not divorce?”

Ma Wenli: “No way. Your white moonlight is a thorn in my heart. Until this is resolved, I will never agree to be with you.”

Ma Wenli: “You can’t just think for yourself—you have to consider the child too.”

Ma Wenli: “What if your white moonlight is very influential?”

Shi Guofan: “…I divorced you for the child. I didn’t actually want the divorce.”

Shi Guofan: “Promise me, once this is over, you’ll remarry me.”

Shi Yanli watched silently. Her mother had diverted the conversation and hadn’t agreed—meaning it was still uncertain.

She braced herself mentally for the possibility that her parents might never remarry.

Soon after, Shi Yanli received a call from Shi Jiucheng: “Help me arrange a meeting. I want to see Aunt Xu.”

“You didn’t believe her before. Now you do?”

“Not exactly. I just want to make sure Zhao Ya and the child are safe.” If trouble were destined for them, he wanted to prepare in advance.

He didn’t want Zhao Ya and her child dragged into trouble because of his own matters.

Meeting Ruan Yaoyao again, Shi Jiucheng was completely different this time.

Before, he had been surprised and incredulous; now, he just wanted answers.

“I heard from Lili that you came to see me because of your ex-girlfriend?” Ruan Yaoyao said. “How can I help with your ex? Shouldn’t you be asking your mother?”

Shi Jiucheng delivered the rehearsed line he had prepared: “My mom isn’t easy to talk to. I’m young and inexperienced, so I thought I’d consult Aunt Xu and see how to handle this properly.”

“And what do you want to do yourself?”

“If possible, I want to take responsibility. The child is born—I can’t just ignore the mother.”

【Ah, the key point is the mother, not the child.】

【Looks like true love indeed!】

【No wonder it says in the details that after breaking up with Zhao Ya, he was depressed for a long time.】

【I thought he was just playing around, turns out he truly cared.】

Playing around? He really liked Zhao Ya, obviously. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been in a relationship with her.

Shi Jiucheng realized Aunt Xu’s description wasn’t perfect—some things couldn’t be explained fully—but he kept a calm face.

“I have two concerns,” he said. “One is whether my brother Wenqin’s situation will affect her. What if I marry her, and she ends up dragged into trouble?”

“That is indeed a problem,” Ruan Yaoyao agreed.

【If you don’t marry her, she’s just a single mother living a harder life.】

【If you marry her, and your family has to die to make room for the female lead and your brother, then marrying her would include her too.】

Ruan Yaoyao carefully checked to confirm that Shi Jiucheng would never know about the child on his own.

His story described him as a stubborn “anti-marriage type” who had experienced one deep relationship, then nothing.
