Because I Cannot Hurt You-Chapter 488 You need to disappear

At her home, An Yueqin was nervously pacing back and forth as she sweated hard.

Everybody knows now…What will I do now?

Her phone rang, and she jolted in shock. She looked at herself in the mirror and realized how pale she seemed. She already knew who was calling her. Her mobile had a sim card that only accepted incoming calls. Outgoing calls were forbidden.

She took a deep breath and pressed the green button. "Yes."

"You have some nerve to step out of the house without my permission," an extremely icy voice came that threatened to cut her into half.

"When did I ever say to you that you are allowed to meet your granddaughter?" The voice was laced with danger and alarm.

An Yueqin didn't respond for a while. She had taken utmost care about not getting found out, but it still failed in the end.

"Now, tell me. Did you let anything slip from your mouth while you were busy taking care of your 'granddaughter?' You do understand right that whatever reason you had to disobey me, it must be somebody's plan to lure you out? Your family is your weak point. That's how I exploited you all these years. An Guoting is doing the same thing by bringing Zhu Chyou in between to make you confess by mistake. Tell me that you realized this so obvious plot, right?"

She said nothing.

"You didn't," that voice answered, "That's why you fell for it in the first place. Your heart melted seeing your fucking granddaughter in trouble which never existed. The only thing I want to know is if you spilled anything out that…"

"I haven't."

That voice sinisterly laughed. "Ah, Yueqin. How good would it be if I could believe you? But I cannot. The fact that you took care of her for all these days is enough proof for them to know that you don't have any amnesia. You have made things difficult for yourself, Yueqin. It's sudden, but I cannot keep you in the country anymore."

She froze.

"You need to disappear."

In the park as Xinyi waited for Zhiyuan, she finally sensed a few gazes directed at her. She looked up and saw people murmuring and whispering to each other.

She frowned. At first, she ignored them, but more people started to openly sneer and mock her.

Xinyi couldn't take it anymore and asked, "Is there any problem?"

One of the middle-aged aunties said in disdain, "You are the sister-in-law of Han Keung, right? The one who made the huge announcement."

She narrowed her eyes. "Yes, so?"

"So? How shameless can you be walking around the park when your brother-in-law took such a sinful decision? You shouldn't be here. You should be talking to your disgusting gay brother-in-law about taking the order back."

"Yeah, yeah. Do you know how seriously it will affect other families seeing the sick homos loitering in the hotels where we would stay?" 𝗳𝒓𝙚e𝓌e𝚋𝙣𝚘𝐯𝙚𝙡.𝑐૦ｍ

"What if our sons and daughters learn from them?"

Everybody else furiously started to diss her.

Xinyi patiently listened to them and smiled. "That's Keung's decision and I fully support it. Not just me, but all my family members too."

They gasped.

"How could you?"

"This is totally wrong!"

Xinyi replied. "Love is never wrong."

"Who are you to judge that?"

She raised her brow. "Exactly. Who are you to judge gays and lesbians either? Everybody's free to choose their partners. They can fall in love with whoever their hearts want to. Even if they might be of the same sex, it doesn't matter. Love doesn't change just because the gender is the same."

One of them sneered. "Heh. It's easy for you to say right now. What if your son turns gay in the future?"

Xinyi blinked. "I don't mind. He has to spend his entire life with his special someone. Rather than seeing him sad and miserable and forcing him to choose what society thinks is right, he should decide that for himself. He is living his own life, not you all. Why should you choose who he should be with?"

"Shut up! What is unnatural is unnatural! Two men or two women aren't supposed to be together!"

"Yeah! I cannot believe the Han family would be so disgusting."

One of them picked a rock and threw it at Xinyi. "You all deserve to be shunned!"

Her eyes widened seeing the rock fly towards her. But she had trouble moving quickly because of her big belly. She shut her eyes and bent to protect her belly. But the rock never hit her.

Xinyi slot looked up to see a tall figure standing in front of her who was clenching the stone in his palm. She stared at him.

"Yuan…"

Liao Yuan looked back and smiled. "Are you alright, Xinyi?"

She nodded.

Liao Yuan shot a deadly glare at the crowd. "You have some nerve ganging up on and hitting a pregnant woman."

Everybody stiffened in fear.

"T-that…"

"Just because she was sitting here alone, you thought you could bully her? Before I ruin every one of your families completely, get lost. Trust me, you don't want me on your bad side."

The public quickly dispersed sensing the threat.

Liao Yuan worriedly sat beside her. "Are you really okay? They didn't hurt you, right?"

She shook her head. "It's just some words that I don't care about. They are strangers, after all."

"Xinyi…I should take you to the hospital just in case…"

"No, I am fine."

"You are not, Xinyi," he gritted his teeth. "See? Every time you are in trouble. Keung's move has seriously threatened you this time. You don't understand how these people are who don't support the LGBTs. They can get violent just like now. Zhiyuan is never beside you when you need him the most."

"I am fine, Yuan-"

Suddenly, her brows crinkled as she clutched her stomach.

"What's wrong?"

"It hurts a little…"

"Damn it! I told you we should go to the hospital. Let me help you."

"No, no. Zhiyuan is at the ice cream parlor…" she breathed heavily, "He will be back anytime."

"Forget about him! Your health is more important. He wasn't here just now when you needed him the most anyway. There is no point in waiting for him. I will drop him a message, okay? Just come with me for now."
