Why are you talking so much nonsense?

When Duan Sisi saw that Wen Zhan had suddenly become impatient and quickened his pace, she couldn't help but laugh.

"Can't you walk slower?! I'm pregnant!"

"If I had known I would run into you, this troublemaker, while I was in the bathroom, I would have rather held it in than come out."

Despite complaining, Wen Zhan unconsciously slowed down his pace.

The two returned to the office, and Wenzhan poured a cup of hot water and placed it in front of her.

"Pregnant women should drink this."

Duan Sisi watched him drink coffee with longing eyes, pinching her fingertips, and pleaded softly, "Can I have a little bit? Just a little bit. This water is so tasteless."

"Don't you even have a clue what's going on? You...!"

Looking at her pleading eyes, Wen Zhan couldn't even bring himself to say anything to complain. He poured a drop of his coffee into her hot water cup.

Even though it was only a drop, Duan Sisi drank it with relish. After downing the cup of hot water, she collapsed comfortably into her chair.

"Since I found out I was pregnant, I haven't dared to touch a drop of alcohol, let alone coffee."

She clicked her tongue and complained, "But your coffee isn't good either. Come to my coffee shop sometime, and I'll make you the most authentic coffee."

Wen Zhan tapped the table with his finger, offering a forced smile as he reminded her, "Miss Duan, please think about the purpose of your visit to the hospital. Are you here to discuss whether the hospital coffee is authentic or not?"

Duan Sisi then remembered her purpose, and her smiling face fell again.

"I want to abort this child and would like to consult you about the relevant matters."

Wen Zhan was clearly surprised, but then he remembered Qiao Chen's face and understood.

"As a responsible doctor, I can tell you that you can rest assured that abortion procedures are very safe nowadays and will not cause too much harm to your body."

He then changed the subject, saying, "But as a friend, I still hope you can think this through. This is not a trivial matter; it is a life, a life that you can survive by taking random medications, drinking alcohol, and staying up all night."

His words brought out all of Duan Sisi's reluctance to part with him.

Wen Zhan looked at her intently and said, "Although you have the right to decide whether he stays or leaves, he is, after all, the father of the child. I still suggest that you sit down and have a good talk, and make this decision seriously."

He casually picked up Duan Sisi's phone from the table, typed in his own number, and then put it back.

"This is my phone number. Think it over. No matter what the outcome, give me a call."

Wen Zhan paused for a moment, his lips moved, and hesitantly said, "If you encounter any problems or need anything, you can call me."

Duan Sisi nodded, feigning strength, and put her phone into her bag.

"Okay, I've thought it through. I'll call you. I won't keep you from going to work any longer. I'll be going now."

Wen Zhan watched her figure disappear through the doorway, his eyelids drooping, lost in thought.

Qiao Chen lay in the fire escape for an unknown amount of time before she finally had the strength to get up.

Since he had struck first, he didn't dare to make a big deal out of it and could only swallow his anger and walk out of the hospital rubbing his face.

Before she could even get on the bus, Qiao Chen received a call from Qiao Xiufen.

As soon as the call connected, Qiao Xiufen's anxious voice came through.

"I asked you to pick up Sisi, why are you taking so long!"

All of Qiao Chen's negative emotions erupted because of one sentence she said.

"It's all because of those busybodies who cause trouble, especially that Su Yan. Otherwise, I would have taken Sisi back long ago!"

Regardless of his explanations, Qiao Xiufen issued the order.

"Whether you lie or coax, you have to bring Sisi back to me! Do you hear me?! Your aunt and the others are waiting; we can't let them come all this way for nothing!"

Qiao Chen had just hung up the phone when he saw Duan Sisi walking out of the hospital, looking distraught. Without thinking, he chased after her, calling out, "Sisi!"

When Duan Sisi saw him, she instinctively took a step back.

Why haven't you left yet?!

Qiao Chen's previous fierce demeanor vanished, replaced by a face full of remorse.

"Sisi, I'm sorry, I was too impulsive just now. I've realized my mistake now, and I won't do anything to you!"

Duan Sisi still looked at him warily, no longer believing what he said.

"Sisi, let's find a place to sit down and talk, okay? Let's talk calmly." Qiao Chen's tone was almost pleading.

"I have nothing to talk to you about."

Duan Sisi refused without thinking and turned to leave. Qiao Chen hurriedly chased after her, calling out, "Sisi!!"

Seeing that Duan Sisi left without looking back, he gritted his teeth and was about to kneel down on the ground.

"Sisi, if you don't give me this chance, I'll stay kneeling here forever."

Duan Sisi was startled by his actions. While looking at the people coming and going around her, she tried to pull him away.

What are you doing!

Qiao Chen held her hand tightly, pleading repeatedly, "Sisi, please give me a chance. Let's sit down and talk, okay?"

Duan Sisi was conflicted. Looking at him like this, she couldn't help but feel soft-hearted, but when she thought about what he had done recently, she couldn't help but feel cold.

When she didn't know what to do, Wenzhan's words suddenly popped into her mind: "Although you have the right to decide whether he stays or leaves, he is, after all, the father of the child."

Duan Sisi let out a long sigh and said in resignation, "Get up, let's find a place to talk properly."
