In the end, Xiang Yutang, out of pity for Zhuo Ziyu, secretly took Zhuo Ziyu to meet Ying Zikui. The four of them hid in Zhu Zhengchu's house to avoid being found by their parents.
Since learning that Zhuo Ziyu was pregnant, Zhu Zhengchu's position in Xiang Yutang's heart had plummeted. For the past six months, whenever Zhu Zhengchu said he felt unwell, Xiang Yutang would rush over immediately. But now...
"Tangtang, I don't feel well. My leg hurts so much!"
"Wait a minute! I'm reading the pregnant women's handbook! Bear with it for a while!" Xiang Yutang had become a heart - less pregnant - women's - handbook machine. In the past few days, she had read countless such handbooks. Even more incredibly, she had memorized them!
Zhu Zhengchu clung to her pitifully.
"Tangtang, why are you like this? I'm so lonely there. You don't even come to keep me company."
Xiang Yutang thought for a moment. "Lonely... Oh, right! The baby will definitely feel lonely when it's born. I have to buy more dolls and pillows to accompany it now!"
Zhu Zhengchu: ".... Tangtang, you haven't had a good conversation with me for days. Didn't we say we were going to have a wedding? We should start preparing now."
"Oh, right. When we have the wedding, we have to prepare all the medical equipment. In case Ziyu accidentally twists her ankle, we need to treat her in time!"
Zhu Zhengchu:....
He was angry! Humph!
From that afternoon until evening, he didn't initiate a single conversation with Xiang Yutang. Even when taking his medicine, he didn't act coquettishly and ask for a kiss. He just drank it without blinking an eye. After drinking, he went back to his own room without going to Xiang Yutang's room to ask for a hug.
Xiang Yutang didn't realize something was wrong until it was time to go to bed. Something was off. Why wasn't Zhu Zhengchu acting coquettishly today?
Thinking that she might have neglected Zhu Zhengchu because of the baby, Xiang Yutang felt a bit guilty. She opened her Moments and saw a post from Zhu Zhengchu.
In this cold late night, it's ultimately me who bears it all alone.
Xiang Yutang:....
She decided to put on her clothes and go check on Zhu Zhengchu.
She gently knocked on the door. "Zhengchu, are you asleep?"
Zhu Zhengchu ignored her. Xiang Yutang deliberately said, "If you're asleep, I'll leave."
"Humph!" Zhu Zhengchu snorted. His voice was full of annoyance.
Xiang Yutang smiled, pushed the door open, and saw a person wrapped like a chrysalis on the bed. She went over and lay down beside him.
"Are you mad at me?"
Zhu Zhengchu turned his back to her and refused to say a word.
Xiang Yutang said gently, "I'm sorry, okay? I didn't do it on purpose today." Zhuo Ziyu was pregnant, and as someone with no experience, she was really scared. After all, pregnancy was a big deal, and a small mistake might cause problems for the baby.
Zhu Zhengchu said sarcastically, "It's not just today, right?" Since the day he learned that Zhuo Ziyu was pregnant, she had been like this!
Xiang Yutang wasn't one to be evasive. She readily admitted her mistake. "I know I was wrong. Pay attention to me, okay?"
The more Zhu Zhengchu thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt. "The baby isn't even born yet, and you're already like this. If the baby is born, are you going to sleep with it every day?" At that time, they would be newlyweds, but he would have to watch his wife sleep with someone else's baby. Just thinking about it made him feel wronged.
Xiang Yutang was a bit tempted to laugh at his aggrieved tone, but she was afraid that if she did, Zhu Zhengchu would be even more unhappy. "I promise I won't. It won't be like this in the future. Starting tomorrow, I'll only read books for two hours a day, and I'll spend the rest of the time with you. Hmm? Don't be mad, okay?"
This condition barely satisfied Zhu Zhengchu. "You said this yourself. Don't get so engrossed in your books that you ignore me later."
"I won't." Xiang Yutang promised again and again.
Zhu Zhengchu sat up and said excitedly, "Then let's go try on wedding dresses tomorrow!" Regarding the wedding venue and date, Zhuo Ziyu and the others had already chosen them. Xiang Yutang and Zhu Zhengchu just needed to prepare their wedding dresses.
Xiang Yutang hesitated a bit. "There's a gynecology and obstetrics director giving a lecture tomorrow... I'll go with you. Don't be mad. I'll go with you." Before she could finish her sentence, Zhu Zhengchu's expression turned sour. What else could she do? She had to go with Zhu Zhengchu, of course.
After soothing Zhu Zhengchu, Xiang Yutang returned to her own room. She stood on the balcony outside and looked at the moon in the sky. Zhuo Ziyu was having a baby, and she and Zhu Zhengchu were going to get married. Did that mean she was also going to have a baby?
The thought made Xiang Yutang a bit shy. She wondered what her and Zhu Zhengchu's baby would look like.
"Pretty sister, if you can't sleep, do you want to come and sleep with me?" Just as Xiang Yutang was daydreaming, someone suddenly appeared beside her.
Xiang Yutang was startled. "Why are you here?"
Zhu Zhengchu said, "Your hairpin fell here just now. I came to return it to you. I didn't expect to see you in a daze."
"Go back to bed quickly."
"I don't want to. I've been lying in bed for almost a whole day. Let me stand with you for a while."
Seeing that he was determined to stand beside her, Xiang Yutang let it go, thinking it wouldn't cause any problems.
The two of them stood side by side, feeling extremely comfortable. "Tangtang."
"Hmm?"
"Did I do a lot of things that were sorry to you in the past?" Zhu Zhengchu was a bit nervous. He really couldn't remember, but from his diary and the information that Ying Zikui occasionally revealed, it seemed that he had really done a lot of bad things in the past.
Xiang Yutang said, "No."
"Hey, I don't know what else to say. But I'm really grateful that you can forgive me. I'll also spend the rest of my life making up for the mistakes I made in the past!" Zhu Zhengchu felt that he still had to apologize for his past self.
Xiang Yutang said sarcastically, "Do you mean to use your lower body or the rest of your life?" Even though Zhu Zhengchu had lost his memory, his lecherous nature remained unchanged.
Zhu Zhengchu was a bit embarrassed. "What are you doing? I'm being emotional here."
Xiang Yutang said awkwardly, "It's all in the past. Don't think about it so much." She actually deliberately disrupted the atmosphere. Life was already very beautiful now, and she really didn't want to recall the bad memories of the past.
Zhu Zhengchu put his hand on her waist and said shyly, "I love you."
"Me too."
"Then can you sleep with me tonight?" Zhu Zhengchu looked at Xiang Yutang expectantly.
Xiang Yutang smiled faintly. "No."
Zhu Zhengchu: "The love you just said was all a lie QAQ!"
"Right. You've discovered it."
