However, the scar on her face could never be removed. The Tang family would never accept a disfigured woman as Tang Si's wife. After all, the Tang clan was a noble family, valuing marriages of equal standing and absolutely cherishing their reputation. They could not tolerate others mocking Tang Si's wife as an ugly creature.
Secondly, Zhao Wuyan was vengeful and psychologically twisted. Shi Ran worried that if she ever truly angered Zhao Wuyan, Zhao Wuyan would spare no effort in retaliating against her family, implicating them.
Just like this time, when Zhao Wuyan plotted against her own brother, leaving him with a debt of tens of millions. Tang Si was not even aware of this.
If one day Zhao Wuyan decided to kill her family, Tang Si might not even know.
He could protect her family and her for a day, or two, but Tang Si did not have the ability to be everywhere at once and protect her family for a lifetime.
Shi Ran dared not test this 'risk'!
Therefore, she ultimately chose to leave Lancheng forever.
Shi Ran's departure gave Zhao Wuyan an opportunity to finally get close to Tang Si.
Of course, as the planner, Zhao Wuyan was smug, believing her own intelligence and wisdom, and meticulous planning had won her happiness.
She lay on the bed, turned her head to look out the window, her hand resting on her abdomen. A smile played on her lips, a smile of contentment.
...
Meanwhile, at the town hospital in the Jiangnan water town.
Shi Ran walked out of the hospital, her steps unsteady and weak, but her hand tightly clutched the ultrasound report. The doctor's words echoed in her ears, "Oh my, dear girl, congratulations! Triplets!"
"What? Trip... triplets?"
Shi Ran looked at the doctor, shocked and dumbfounded, her mind a complete blank.
After leaving Lancheng for the Jiangnan water town, she and Yuan Wei rented a place there. Although Yuan Wei was a model, his greatest passion was Qipao design.
Shi Ran used her money to help him open a fashion design studio, allowing him to start a business and earn some money.
However, in the past few days, while helping Yuan Wei, Shi Ran had been feeling nauseous and unwell. Combined with her delayed period, she couldn't help but worry, so she made an excuse to go to the hospital for a check-up.
What she feared had come to pass.
She was worried she might be pregnant, as she wasn't ready to be a mother.
Even on the way to the hospital, she had made up her mind that if she was indeed pregnant with Tang Si's child, she would definitely abort it and would not give birth.
She never imagined that not only was she pregnant with Tang Si's child, but she was also pregnant with triplets.
"Yes, yes. I've seen many twins, but triplets are extremely rare. Dear girl, you are truly blessed, hahaha..." the doctor said, smiling as he looked at the ultrasound scan.
Triplets...
Shi Ran thought carefully and suddenly remembered that her maternal grandmother had given birth to triplets.
At that time, she had given birth to two girls and one boy, but survival conditions were poor, and the family was poor. Not long after the triplets were born, one child starved to death.
It was no wonder she could conceive triplets; it was a genetic inheritance.
After leaving the hospital, she sat on a roadside bench, her thoughts heavy.
If she were pregnant with one child, it would be fine to not have it. But now there were three children, three little lives.
Shi Ran truly couldn't bear to deprive these three little ones of their right to come into this world.
Her hand unconsciously touched her stomach, and she sighed helplessly, feeling that the road ahead was uncertain and she didn't know what to do.
"Give birth to them, and I'll raise them with you."
Suddenly, a clear, gentle voice sounded from behind.
When Shi Ran turned around, she saw Yuan Wei standing behind her.
"You... why are you here?" She stood up nervously, instinctively hiding the ultrasound report in her hand behind her back.
Yuan Wei tilted his head and glanced at it. His face, full of sunshine and vitality, was creased with a faint smile. "I've seen that you haven't been feeling well recently. I heard you vomiting in the bathroom earlier, so I followed you when you came out. I know following you is unethical, but I was truly worried about you."
