Later, Antina went to the underground prison alone and told the guard on duty that she wanted to see Xiao Cheng.
The other party nodded, opened the gate, and let Antina in.
In the innermost room of the secret prison, she met Xiao Cheng.
This secret prison was located near the wall and had a large window. The room was fully equipped, well-lit, bright, and transparent, much like an apartment.
After all, he was the young lady's husband, so those people dared not neglect Xiao Cheng.
Antina stood in front of the iron gate, looking at Xiao Cheng lying on the bed watching television. She hesitated for a moment, then reached out and knocked on the door, "Xiao Cheng, it's me."
In the secret prison, Xiao Cheng's weapons and communication devices were all confiscated, not even a ring or a belt was spared.
This was because Xiao Cheng was too capable, and they feared that one secret prison could not hold him.
Xiao Cheng lay on the bed, bored, his eyes closed as if sleeping.
Even after hearing Antina's voice outside the door, he kept his eyes closed and pretended to be asleep.
Antina knew that Xiao Cheng was not asleep. She pursed her lips, "I know you're not asleep. I... I just want to chat with you." She reached out and covered her abdomen, where a new life was growing, but unfortunately, it was not Xiao Cheng's child.
"During the time you were away, I reflected. Truly, it was too absurd before. I was young and foolish. Xiao Cheng, can you... can you forgive me?"
Since he left, Antina realized that she truly couldn't do without Xiao Cheng.
When he was around, Antina had him physically but not his heart, which led to her deep unwillingness and resulted in a series of actions she now deeply regretted.
Now, after reflection and contemplation, she had become clear-headed.
"I know I wronged you, and I also know... you definitely can't accept this child. But it's okay, after the child is born, I will send her away, and then we can have our own child together, okay?"
"Oh, and also. You consider Meng Jingwei a friend, right? I've already promised my father that from now on, I won't make things difficult for Meng Jingwei and Qing Muyue anymore. Is that okay?"
This was considered her biggest concession.
Of course, part of the reason was that her father wanted to cooperate with Qing Muyue in business.
After all, Qing Muyue's capabilities were evident to all.
As expected, mentioning Meng Jingwei elicited a slight reaction from Xiao Cheng.
He opened his eyes, his gaze shifted, and he sat up from the bed.
Turning his head, he looked at Antina standing outside through the iron bars, "Should I believe you?"
Having given his trust and been let down time and again, how could he still believe Antina?
Seeing a slight softening in him, Antina's eyes lit up, "I can swear that every word I say is true. You also know I'm a Christian, I can swear before Jesus."
Xiao Cheng leaned against the headboard, looking straight ahead, out the window, and remained silent for a long time.
"Trust me one more time, okay?" Antina clasped the iron bars with both hands, "If you don't like the child in my womb, I will send him away and will never let you see his existence. Also, I will never make things difficult for Mr. and Mrs. Qing Muyue again, as long as... as long as you stop contacting Meng Jingwei. If you can do it, I can definitely do it too."
She said it with absolute certainty and a very firm attitude.
Xiao Cheng's fingers, resting on the bed, tapped lightly on the bedsheet, lost in thought.
Before being brought back to the castle by Fleck's men, he had already heard about Qing Muyue and knew they were currently navigating a crisis.
If Fleck stopped making things difficult for Qing Muyue, his situation should improve somewhat.
If Qing Muyue had an easier time, Meng Jingwei would naturally have an easier time as well.
