She didn't use much strength. Sheng Yan just leaned forward a bit and quickly regained his composure.
He took the opportunity to grab Feng Qing's hand and wouldn't let her pull away. Then he openly held Feng Qing's hand and spoke to the tombstone.
"Mom, remember this. This is your daughter - in - law's face, and it won't change."
Seeing that her struggle was in vain, Feng Qing had no choice but to give up. Although she didn't talk to his mom, she felt sorry for his mom in her heart.
Maybe her short - lived marriage was just a deception by Sheng Qingran, and she paid for it with her life.
After returning home from the cemetery, Sheng Yan always seemed preoccupied. After noticing this several times, Feng Qing couldn't help but ask him what was wrong.
"I'm thinking about how I should propose to you."
Feng Qing: "..." Are you crazy?
Feng Qing didn't say a word and turned to leave, but was grabbed by Sheng Yan. Sheng Yan didn't understand her meaning and begged her for an explanation.
"I just think I don't have any constructive suggestions for you, so I'd better leave."
"How could that be? Of course, I'll propose to you in the way you like most." Sheng Yan was still as naive as a young fool. Feng Qing didn't know how he had suddenly become so stupid.
"You also know it's a proposal to me. How can you tell the other person before the proposal?"
The essence of a proposal lies in the surprise. How could anyone just blurt it all out stupidly in advance?
Sheng Yan suddenly realized and let out an "oh". Feng Qing was really speechless and turned to leave.
Feng Qing just had dinner at Sheng Yan's place and would return to her own home after the meal. After being annoyed by Sheng Yan's stupidity, she went back to her home and didn't discuss the "proposal details" with Sheng Yan anymore.
After she got home and sat on the sofa for a while, she unexpectedly found that she felt an intense sense of joy.
She couldn't help but reach out and cover her chest, only to find that her heart was beating very fast.
So, was she also looking forward to Sheng Yan's proposal?
Although she could tell the difference between Sheng Yan and Sheng Qingran, and knew that what Sheng Qingran did couldn't mean Sheng Yan was wrong.
But the feud between her and Sheng Qingran was still there. She simply couldn't marry Sheng Yan without any concerns and become part of Sheng Qingran's family.
However, that should be a matter for the future. There was no use for her to be anxious now.
She got up and stretched her shoulders, then yawned several times in a row. She didn't know what was wrong recently. She always felt sore and backache, and got sleepy very early.
Feng Qing realized that she might be pregnant after she started having morning sickness.
Feng Qing always paid great attention to her physical condition. She had been on guard when she noticed that she was always sore and sleepy.
But now the sudden vomiting could well explain all the previous symptoms.
She pretended to be calm, turned on the faucet, rinsed her mouth with water, and when she looked up, she saw her obviously pale face in the mirror.
The tiny suspicion in her heart seemed to be magnified a lot.
She didn't dare to let anyone other than herself know about this. She could only make an excuse that she was going back to the old house to accompany Jian Jiaojiao and ask for a leave.
She only dared to ask a reliable aunt at home to buy a pregnancy test stick for her.
When Jian Jiaojiao found out, she started scolding her: "What's the use of testing it yourself? What if it's inaccurate? Come on, I'll accompany you to the hospital."
Feng Qing quickly refused her, "No. Whether this is true or not, I can't let others know. Otherwise, why would I come back here specially?"
She just wanted to avoid all those who might discover this and have an impact on her.
Jian Jiaojiao obviously thought of some unpleasant memories, but still worried about Feng Qing's situation.
"But..."
"Come on." Feng Qing persuaded her, "We don't know if it's true yet. What if it's not? Maybe we're just having a false alarm."
This description of a false alarm only lasted until the appearance of two red lines...
Feng Qing stared at the two red lines and fell into deep thought.
It was really true? How could she be pregnant at this time?
She still had a lot of things to do. How could she be pregnant at this time?
Jian Jiaojiao was extremely anxious outside. Seeing that Feng Qing didn't respond for a long time, she urged her.
"Are you done yet, Feng Qing!"
Feng Qing walked out with a solemn face and handed the pregnancy test stick with two red lines to her. Her face was ashen.
Jian Jiaojiao was also shocked by the two red lines. "What should we do now? Are you going to tell Sheng Yan? How is Sheng Yan treating you now?"
"Sheng Yan was still talking to me about proposing to me a while ago."
"Then your relationship is stable. You should tell him about the baby. Since you have plans to get married, he has the right to know this."
But Feng Qing shook her head. "But I haven't decided if I want to marry him."
Jian Jiaojiao was puzzled. Feng Qing didn't know how to explain it to her. "Whether to get married or not can be discussed later. But can you keep this a secret for me first? I want to announce this after I've thought it through."
Jian Jiaojiao wouldn't refuse her. She just told Feng Qing to take good care of herself.
On the way back to her own home by car, Feng Qing couldn't help but touch her belly several times.
The baby was there, and had been there for a while. According to the due date, it wouldn't be long before her pregnancy would start to show. Fortunately, it was still cold now, and she could wear more clothes to cover it up.
But in a few months when the weather got warmer, it would be impossible to hide this.
She suddenly felt a bit flustered. The arrival of this baby was clearly unexpected, and it wasn't even in her plan for the future.
She was also worried that this baby would become a variable and change many things.
Forget it. She'd better keep it a secret for as long as she could.
***
Sheng Sibai couldn't find Jian Jiaojiao, so he could only harass Feng Qing. Feng Qing was also exhausted by the recent events, and was always impatient when facing Sheng Sibai.
But Sheng Sibai endured it several times without showing any sign of getting angry, which made Feng Qing feel embarrassed to lose her temper.
"I just found out about what happened between you two recently. You hurt her deeply."
"Jiaojiao has always been resistant to intimate relationships, especially after her parents passed away. The only time she wanted a future with someone, you told her you didn't want the baby."
That baby seemed to be Sheng Sibai's pain. His expression suddenly became extremely painful. Although he didn't make a sound, Feng Qing felt that he was heart - broken.
He covered his face, regretting what had happened in the past.
"I really... I wasn't in a stable mood at that time. When she told me, I was completely stunned. I just didn't know what to do for a moment." The more he spoke, the more excited he became. After he put down his hands, his painful expression didn't seem to be fake.
"I just said I needed to think about it, but I really didn't mean I didn't want the baby. I didn't know she would think I didn't want it and have the baby aborted. I really regret it..."
"Wait a minute," Feng Qing interrupted him, frowning as she recalled what she had just heard. "You said Jiaojiao had the baby aborted by herself?"
