Faced with separation, Qian Luoshui knew that this time they might never have the chance to be together again.

She wanted to indulge herself just this once, because Qian Luoshui loved this man.

She got pregnant on that very first time.

Because of her background, she was afraid that marrying Shen Qiaoyu would implicate her, so she never dared to agree.

Hearing Qian Luoshui's voice choked with sobs, Shen Qiaoyu reached out and wiped away Qian Luoshui's tears.

He chuckled and comforted her, "You silly goose, you still haven't realized it!"

His young wife is so silly, does pregnancy make people even sillier?

Qian Luoshui stopped crying after Shen Qiaoyu said that. She blinked her big, watery eyes, still with tears welling up, and stared at Shen Qiaoyu, puzzled, asking, "What's the reaction?"

"I didn't use that thing at all."

Qian Luoshui was stunned after hearing this, and blinked a few times. "But, you clearly..." She had seen him put it on with her own eyes!

Shen Qiaoyu pinched Qian Luoshui's chin, looked at her dazed and cute expression, and kissed her again.

After taking a deep breath, Shen Qiaoyu said, "Can't you take it off even if you wear it? If it weren't for this child, would you not have planned to marry me?"

Shen Qiaoyu was heartbroken for a long time because he was rejected by Qian Luoshui several times.

Qian Luoshui realized that he was willing to go to such lengths for her sake.

"I've always dreamed of marrying you. You're my hero, but I don't want to drag you down, I don't want to implicate your family." Qian Luoshui pouted, tears welling in her eyes. She couldn't hold back any longer, "I..."

Qian Luoshui knew that if others found out she had given herself to a man before marriage, they would drown her in their gossip and call her a slut.

At that time, Qian Luoshui knew she had to leave Beijing. All she wanted to do was say goodbye to the person she loved. She loved Shen Qiaoyu and was willing to give herself to him.

Afterwards, she was very scared and felt that what she did was wrong and would put a burden on Shen Qiaoyu.

"I had already applied for a marriage certificate before I came to see you. You've been dating me for ten years, how can I let you break up with me? I know you're afraid. Luoshui, as long as you can stick to the position you love, it doesn't matter whether you're a division commander or deputy division commander. You can serve the people in an ordinary position. But you can only have one lover. Once you miss him, you can't get him back! I can't let you down, and I can't let our ten years end like this."

Shen Qiaoyu stroked Qian Luoshui's face and said with a smile, "I even feel selfish for doing this, making you go from a girl to a woman all of a sudden, losing your freedom as a woman and being bound by family. I am the one who has wronged you, Luoshui, I'm sorry."

Qian Luoshui tried hard to hold back her tears, but at this moment she could no longer hold back!

"Qiao Yu, I'm sorry, I've made you wait so long!" Qian Luoshui tried hard not to cry out loud. "I'm just too cowardly. I don't dare to face the consequences of marrying you. I'm not afraid of hardship, but I don't dare to gamble. I'm afraid of ruining your future."

Qian Luoshui's father was a merchant, and her mother was an overseas Chinese; they were descendants of merchants.

If Shen Qiaoyu wants to marry her, it would be a miracle if he didn't get a disciplinary action.

Marrying her cost her a job, and Qian Luoshui felt she owed Shen Qiaoyu a great deal.

"Silly girl, we're husband and wife, we don't owe each other anything. If you keep crying, people will say I'm bullying you. You're pregnant, you need to stay happy." Shen Qiaoyu tried her best to make Qian Luoshui laugh, wiping away her tears with the back of her hand.

Upon hearing Shen Qiaoyu's words, Qian Luoshui touched the baby in her belly and hissed in pain.

"What's wrong?" Shen Qiaoyu asked worriedly.

"The child kicked me again!" Qian Luoshui's voice was hoarse, and her expression was delicate and aggrieved as she sought comfort.

"Let me touch it and say a few words to the baby." Shen Qiaoyu squatted down, touched Qian Luoshui's belly, looked up at Qian Luoshui, and said softly and gently to the baby in her belly, "Baby, be good, don't kick Mommy anymore. Mommy has already suffered enough carrying you, just bear with it a little longer and you will be born, okay?"

Qian Luoshui looked down at the scene. The conversation with the child was a bit childish, but Qian Luoshui still couldn't help but smile.

Shen Qiaoyu stared at Qian Luoshui, then said to the child in a low voice, "Baby, you're not allowed to make a fuss with Mommy anymore. If you do, I'll spank your little bottom when you're born!"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Qian Luoshui tapped Shen Qiaoyu's forehead helplessly, frowning slightly, to tell him not to talk nonsense.

Shen Qiaoyu stood up with a simple smile, and helped Qian Luoshui up, saying, "Alright, I won't say anything more. You can go out and sit down first. I'll go make the bed in the room, and you can take a shower in a little while."

Hearing the young couple about to come out, Shen Qiaoyue quickly turned around and went back into the living room. Feeling too embarrassed, she hurriedly returned to her room.

She was very sleepy and dozed off on the sofa. She thought she heard crying coming from the kitchen and dared not wake up from her dream.

As she walked to the door, she watched her older brother and sister-in-law's conversation and felt incredibly embarrassed.

They weren't afraid that others might come in at any time.

According to what Shen Qiaoyue heard, her elder brother and sister-in-law Qian Luoshui had been in love for ten years.

Did they not end up together in their past life? But the fact that my sister-in-law is eight months pregnant proves that she was already pregnant before she and Lu Chen got married.

The older brother didn't die, but he was driven insane. He was falsely accused of abusing an innocent girl, then arrested and imprisoned, where he was driven crazy by the people there.

Shen Qiaoyue didn't know the specifics either. What if the Qian family members were so angry after learning that Qian Luoshui was pregnant that they reported their eldest brother?
