Shen Youjin knew that acting pitiful in front of Fu Qingye would be more effective at this moment, but she didn't want to do it anymore.
Being herself had never been a difficult thing; it was just that she had never dared to before.
Fu Qingye was silent on the other end of the phone for a long time. The suffocating low - pressure made the ward so quiet that a pin drop could be heard.
After an unknown amount of time, Fu Qingye suddenly let out a soft laugh. "Fine, I respect your choice. I'll wait for the day when you regret it!"
He absolutely didn't believe that there was anyone in this world who could make Shen Youjin happier than himself. Even if there was, it would only be temporary.
After hanging up the phone, when Shen Youjin was about to send a message, she found that Fu Qingye had blocked her.
What? Was he waiting for her to go back and beg him? People really shouldn't be too confident sometimes!
She smiled, turned off her phone directly, and then had a good sleep.
When she opened her eyes the next day, Bai Beichen was already sitting by the bed, looking at her with red eyes.
"Sister, you're pregnant? Whose child is it?"
It seemed that he had been sitting there for a long time, and even his voice had become hoarse.
Shen Youjin slowly sat up but didn't answer this question.
"Did the doctor tell you?"
Bai Beichen stared at her face as if he would never see her again, not willing to move his eyes away for even an inch.
"I just wanted to care about your physical condition. Is it Gu Zhiyuan's?"
Shen Youjin sat up and sighed helplessly. "Can you keep this a secret for me for now?"
Bai Beichen was stunned, and his fingers instantly tightened. So it was Gu Zhiyuan, that loader!
"Don't make that expression." Shen Youjin looked at him. "If you want to fight, I won't stop you. You can go find him."
Only then did Bai Beichen react and quickly said, "No, Sister Xi. I respect your decision."
Even though he was almost crazy with jealousy, he still tried to act obedient in front of Shen Youjin. He knew what kind of him she liked, and he didn't want to be disliked by her.
But when Shen Youjin saw him like this, all she could think about was the murderous look on Bai Beichen when he was fighting. They could never go back to the past.
She really couldn't imagine how a person could act like this, and even collude with others to deceive her. Probably... no one could accept that!
"Bai Beichen, even if there was no child, we still couldn't be together." Shen Youjin looked at him. "Our relationship ended a long time ago."
Bai Beichen looked at her reluctantly. "But you said that everyone has another side."
"There's a big difference between having another side and deliberately pretending, isn't there?" Shen Youjin didn't accept his PUA. "Except for those with a 'love - brain', no one can accept being deceived by a group of people."
Bai Beichen tightened his fingers even more. "Then... can we still be friends?"
"No. I wish you all the best in the future." Shen Youjin shook her head. "Thank you for helping me find Xu Jiale before. From now on, you can go to Zhuguang for free forever. Besides that, I have nothing else to give you."
Bai Beichen wanted to say something else, but his throat seemed to be glued shut, and he couldn't utter a single word.
Just then, the doctor walked in, and Shen Youjin took this opportunity to drive Bai Beichen away.
When Bai Beichen left, his steps were unsteady, looking like he had suffered quite a blow.
After the check - up, in order to prevent Jiang Zeshen from bothering her again, she simply took the initiative to find Jiang Zeshen.
She thought Jiang Zeshen would be the most difficult one to communicate with, but unexpectedly, he was more straightforward than she had imagined.
"Xiaojin, I hope you'll be happy."
After saying this, Jiang Zeshen hung up the phone. Shen Youjin raised her eyebrows. Was it really that smooth?
Just as she was thinking this, Ling Qiuqiu sent a message: "Xia Linlang is back in the country today."
The mystery was solved. So that was the reason.
She didn't feel any discomfort in her heart. Instead, she thought it would save a lot of trouble.
As days passed, Li Nanchuan often came to accompany her during this period, and even Li Beiyin came once.
Compared to their previous confrontations, Li Beiyin's attitude had improved a lot.
Until the day when the doctor informed her that she could have the surgery, Shen Youjin sat alone on the bench in the corridor, waiting for the doctor to call her.
Gu Zhiyuan didn't show up, and Li Nanchuan didn't know about this either. Shen Youjin stroked her abdomen. It was false to say that she wasn't sad at all.
After all, she had once wanted to keep this child so much, but now she was going to have it aborted. She couldn't help but feel reluctant.
This kind of emotion was very heavy, but she had to do it.
"Shen Youjin."
The doctor called her. She came back to her senses and walked very slowly with each step.
Just as she was about to walk into the operating room, her phone suddenly rang. It was a call from the testing institution.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she immediately answered it.
"We're sorry. Due to our negligence, the previous test data had the wrong number. The father of your child should be No. 5."
No. 5. Shen Youjin's brain was running at high speed, and her fingers began to tremble. "Are you sure you didn't make a mistake this time?"
The doctor on the other end immediately apologized awkwardly. "There will definitely be no mistake this time. To compensate you, you can come for another test for free."
"Okay." Shen Youjin took a deep breath. "I'm busy here. I'll come later."
After hanging up the phone, she directly canceled the surgery and called Li Nanchuan.
"Nanchuan... the test result was wrong." Her throat tightened. "Can you come here?"
Li Nanchuan was only slightly stunned when he heard this result. He quickly put down what he was doing and rushed to the hospital immediately.
"Accompany me to the testing institution again!" Shen Youjin grabbed his arm and looked at him with clear eyes. "Just to put my mind at ease."
"Okay." Li Nanchuan had never refused her requests. At this moment, he tightened his grip on her hand and gently comforted her. "Don't worry. I'll always be here."
Shen Youjin changed her clothes and went to the testing institution with Li Nanchuan. During the waiting process, Shen Youjin's heart was filled with anticipation and uneasiness.
This time, the express test was very fast. The result came out six hours later. When Shen Youjin saw the DNA match rate, her eyes were filled with tears.
She didn't have to abort this child.
Holding the report, Shen Youjin impulsively threw herself into Li Nanchuan's arms in front of many people for the first time. "Nanchuan, this is our child. Fortunately, that call came in time..."
Li Nanchuan stroked her long hair. His eyes were gentle and firm. "I knew this child was mine. I'm going to quit my job and take you to another city to live. There, I'll open a special studio for you. You can do whatever you like. I'll also handle things in Kyoto for you." He paused slightly, his eyes full of expectation. "I want to give you and the child a stable future. Let's get away from all the troubles here and start over. Of course, if you can't bear to leave Zhuguang, you can also stay..."
The tears in Shen Youjin's eyes hadn't receded yet. Her heart was in a complete mess. This sudden decision made her both surprised and a little at a loss. For a moment, she just stood there stunned.
Leave... Kyoto? This was the place where she had always lived!
