Chapter 102 Agree

At the hospital, Yun Zhaozhao had just finished her check-up. She was three months pregnant and was officially registering for prenatal care today.

"Very good, the little guy is very strong."

Looking at the report from the gynecology department, Zhou Yueming sighed. Yun Zhaozhao's pregnancy was truly fraught with difficulties; there were several times when she almost lost the baby. Fortunately, she survived.

Upon hearing this, Yun Zhaozhao touched her belly. Her lower abdomen remained unchanged, making it hard to believe that she was carrying a baby.

When will he make a move?

"You should be able to feel it around five months, but everyone's situation is different. Just come for your check-ups on time. Also, you need to make sure you get proper nutrition, your body isn't in good shape."

Zhou Yueming showed Yun Zhaozhao several sets of data, one of which was malnutrition.

It's hard to imagine that in this day and age, someone from such a poor family could still suffer from malnutrition.

"My appetite has been very good lately."

Yun Zhaozhao had a bit of a headache. Apart from some morning sickness at the beginning, her appetite was pretty good most of the time.

Zhou Yueming glanced at her and said, "I'm telling you to eat nutritious food, not just to satisfy your cravings."

How could he not know Yun Zhaozhao's preferences? She only liked strong-flavored foods and snacks, but rarely ate proper meals.

"Just think of it as doing it for the children."

"Why should I?!"

Yun Zhaozhao patted her belly: "It's already good enough that I can carry him. You want me to go along with him? Don't even think about it."

Zhou Yueming rubbed his forehead. How could he forget that Yun Zhaozhao didn't play by the rules? His words wouldn't work on her. He could only say it in a different way: "You don't want to become ugly, do you? If you don't, then eat properly, or you'll become a skeleton."

Sure enough, Yun Zhaozhao's eyes widened and she quickly promised to eat properly, begging Zhou Yueming not to say anything so terrible.

She would rather die than become ugly.

Zhou Yueming then showed her the scar on her head, which was no longer very noticeable, indicating that the medicine was working: "Keep applying the medicine when you get back, and it will completely disappear."

"Okay, Brother Yueming."

After leaving the hospital, Yun Zhaozhao finally felt relieved and went home. When she got downstairs, she found Fu Shangluo standing outside, having been waiting for who knows how long.

"Brother Shangluo, why aren't you going in?"

Yun Zhaozhao greeted them as before, acting as if nothing had happened that day.

Fu Shangluo's gaze fell on Yun Zhaozhao's wrist, where there was still some undissolved bruising.

"Sorry, I drank too much that day."

It took Fu Shangluo several days to compose himself before he dared to reappear in front of Yun Zhaozhao.

He had been worried for the past few days about what the clerk might do to Yun Zhaozhao, and he was only relieved when he found out that the clerk had some unclear relationships with certain people.

Since there are people behind the clerk, she probably wouldn't want others to know that she's been having affairs behind their backs.

However, the thought that he had actually had sex with the clerk that night made him feel nauseous for several days.

Seeing his displeasure, Yun Zhaozhao quickly said, "I didn't take it to heart, Brother Shangluo, don't take it to heart either. I know you were drunk that day. Don't worry, I don't remember anything."

This was an attempt to save face for both of them; she not only didn't remember the things he had hurt her about, but she also didn't remember the words he had said.

This was not what Fu Shangluo wanted. He looked up at Yun Zhaozhao and said, "Zhaozhao, I can't forget. What I said that day was true. Now that you and Pei Jiuyan have broken up, I hope you can give me a chance."

Before Yun Zhaozhao could speak, he quickly added, "Don't rush to refuse. I'm not trying to force you to agree. I just hope you can give me a chance and treat me as a man pursuing you, not as a brother."

Yun Zhaozhao was truly having a headache. She had already tried her best, so why did Fu Shangluo insist on doing it?

"Brother Shangluo, I don't know if I will be with other people in the future, but I don't have that idea at the moment."

"Also, you know I'm pregnant, so I'll probably focus all my energy on the baby from now on."

"In addition, I think you should consider your uncle and aunt's feelings."

She phrased it tactfully, hoping that Fu Shangluo would think it through.

Love is not a blind impulse; she suffered because of it, but now she's wiser and won't fall into it so easily anymore.

She couldn't predict what would happen in the future, but one thing she was sure of was that she could never love someone so unconditionally again.

“Zhaozhao, none of these are problems. I will talk to my parents.”

Fu Shangluo didn't say that his parents still supported him being with Yun Zhaozhao, but he felt he could convince them.

"As for the child, that's not a problem at all. I will treat him as my own."

"Zhaozhao, trust Shangluo, give me a chance, okay?"

If she refused now that things had come to this point, Fu Shangluo would be in an extremely awkward position.

"Go back and rest first, I'll come pick you up from school later."

Fu Shangluo knew how to seize opportunities. Yun Zhaozhao and Pei Jiuyan had finally separated, and he desperately wanted to take advantage of the opportunity.

Yun Zhaozhao nodded in agreement.

For the next few days, Fu Shangluo came early every day and brought Yun Zhaozhao different gifts each day. Sometimes it was flowers, and sometimes it was some pretty little trinkets. There were no duplicates, but none of them were expensive.

He watched Yun Zhaozhao grow up, so he naturally knew what she liked, and every gift he gave her touched her heart.

Looking at Fu Shangluo's profile, Yun Zhaozhao sometimes sighed, wishing she had fallen for him instead.

While Yun Zhaozhao and Fu Shangluo were getting along very well, Pei Jiuyan was also busy, and he went to see Minister Huang.

Assistant Qin escorted him outside, but he didn't go in with him. No one knows what they talked about, but Pei Jiuyan looked good when he came out.

"President Pei..."

Assistant Qin was still a little worried that Pei Jiuyan would give himself away, but although Pei Jiuyan couldn't remember, he wasn't stupid. If he wanted to cover it up, no one would be able to tell. Besides, cognitive impairment is a very mysterious problem. Some people can't get better in their entire lives, while others can get better in two or three days.

He acted so naturally that Minister Huang didn't notice anything amiss. Plus, he felt a little guilty, so he agreed to all the conditions Pei Jiuyan proposed.

As for Pei Jiuyan wanting the documents, he would be even less likely to object.

His initial interest in the clerk had long since worn off; she was nothing more than a lowly, insignificant person. He had only kept her around for a few years because she was a good servant. Now that she had caused Pei Jiuyan such a huge problem, Minister Huang would naturally no longer protect her.

"Have you found the documents?"

Pei Jiuyan said slowly.

He has packed up everyone he could in the past few days, but the documents are still nowhere to be found.

"not yet."

Assistant Qin quickly replied, "She's very shrewd. Knowing you were going to cause her trouble, she hid herself away early on."

"You're definitely got some skills," Pei Jiuyan said slowly. "Keep searching."

Once he's dealt with all these annoying things, he can go find Yun Zhaozhao. He'll admit everything he did, and he'll pursue her again and win her back.

Thinking of Yun Zhaozhao, Pei Jiuyan's expression softened a bit.

"What has she been doing these past few days?"

Pei Jiuyan never dared to ask, fearing he would be unable to resist pestering Yun Zhaozhao again.

He only felt confident after resolving Minister Huang's issue today.

Assistant Qin's expression was somewhat complicated. He dared not hide anything from Pei Jiuyan, but he also dared not tell her about Madam's current condition. What should he do?
