Chapter 216: Chapter 216

Xu Jingyi entered the house without a word, leaning against the hallway cabinet to change into slippers, and walked inside with her head down.

The nanny was holding the child, trying to give him medicine. The little guy was uncooperative, scrunching up his face and shaking his head, using his chubby little hands to push away the spoon the nanny offered.

"Be good, you’ll get better once you take the medicine." The nanny raised her arm high to avoid the little guy spilling the medicine from the spoon.

The little guy’s mouth pursed, he held out for two seconds, then opened his mouth and began to cry loudly.

"Let me do it." Chu Siyuan took the child from the nanny, deftly cradled the child’s back, and let him lie against his shoulder. He turned to Xu Jingyi and said, "Your sister just got a call from the company and went to the study. You sit down first, she’ll be out in a moment."

Chu Siyuan instructed the nanny to pour some water for the guest and wash some fruit to bring over. Discover more novels at NovєlFіre.net

Xu Jingyi clutched the chain of her shoulder bag with both hands, standing still, watching as Chu Siyuan calmed the crying child, then sat down on the sofa, cradling the child horizontally in his arms. He picked up a small spoon of medicine with the other hand and fed it to the child’s slightly open mouth: "Be good and take the medicine, and Daddy will play with the toy train with you. Our little Ao Ao is a good boy, right?"

The man softened his voice, coaxing as he fed the medicine. The child indeed stopped struggling and drank the medicine one spoonful at a time.

Chu Siyuan took a small fish-shaped cookie, as a reward, and put it into his son’s chubby little hand, then took a tissue to wipe his little mouth and blow his nose.

The child raised the cookie to his mouth, then suddenly stopped, and a "puff" sound came from his diaper.

Chu Siyuan looked down at his son, who had furrowed his small brows and clenched his little hands into fists, instantly understanding what he was doing, and smiled wryly: "Did you make a mess?"

He carried the child to the bathroom, and when he came back out later, the child had a clean diaper on and was lying happily in his father’s arms, sucking on a cookie and occasionally coughing.

Xu Jingyi suddenly understood why Xu Youxuan wanted to marry this man.

At this moment, Xu Youxuan pushed the study door open with her phone in hand and saw Xu Jingyi standing in the living room. She shuffled over in her slippers, placed a hand on her shoulder: "How long have you been here?"

Xu Jingyi turned her head and met Xu Youxuan’s concerned gaze, her eyes slightly moist.

Xu Youxuan was wearing a sleeveless beige knit dress, her figure still as shapely as ever after having a child. Her hair was casually pinned up with a claw clip, with a few loose strands falling around her cheeks, gentle and charming, with a touch more maternal tenderness than before.

"You two sisters talk, I’ll take our son upstairs to sleep."

Since Xu Jingyi entered, Chu Siyuan had sensed she might have encountered something unpleasant and proactively offered to step aside, taking a bottle and carrying his son upstairs.

Xu Youxuan held Xu Jingyi’s hand and led her to the study, closing the door, turned around and asked her, "What happened?"

Xu Jingyi threw herself into her arms and cried, "I was at a bar with friends last night, drank too much, and a man took me home. We... we had sex."

Xu Youxuan was stunned, taking a while to find her voice, "Did you agree to it?"

"I don’t know, I can’t remember clearly." Xu Jingyi shook her head incessantly, babbling, "I was drunk, I wanted to refuse, but my body was powerless."

Xu Youxuan grasped her sister’s shoulders with both hands, pushing her back slightly to look straight into her tearful eyes: "If you were not conscious, that man was assaulting you..." She was reluctant to say the word, swallowing hard, she said with difficulty, "Yiyi, let’s call the police."

"No!" Xu Jingyi’s eyes widened in terror, shaking her head even more vigorously, "We can’t call the police! If we do, everyone will know, how can I go out and face anyone? I don’t want it. Sis, I beg you, don’t tell anyone."

Watching her sister’s frightened and distressed face, Xu Youxuan was heartbroken, "So are we just going to let it go? Are you going to let the man who hurt you go free?"

Xu Jingyi gritted her teeth. If she could, she wanted to tear that man to pieces. Even if she really did that, the fact that she was violated would still be an unerasable truth.

"Sis, what should I do? Please teach me."

Xu Jingyi clutched her sister’s hand, as if holding onto the only life-saving straw.

Xu Youxuan’s initial thought was to report to the police immediately, have the man brought to justice, and make him pay the price, but she had to respect her sister’s wishes and keep the matter to herself.

Xu Youxuan gently wiped the tears from her face with her thumb, cupping her face and seriously asked her, "Do you really want to marry Fu Jichen? Without considering other factors."
