"Auntie, it's nothing, it's nothing!"

Zhuo Zhiyuan quickly shook his head.

Just then, my phone started beeping incessantly in my pocket.

"Hey—Xiao Zhuo, your phone's ringing. Answer it quickly and give me the stuff!"

Zhuo Zhiyuan quickly dodged Shu Ma's outstretched hand, placed the bag in his hand on the table to the side, and then took out his phone from his pocket.

The screen displayed the caller ID as "crazy woman".

This is the nickname Zhuo Zhiyuan gave to Shu Jia.

Before he could even hesitate whether to go outside to answer the call or hang up, Shu Jia hung up immediately.

Zhuo Zhiyuan couldn't help but look up at Shu Jia on the hospital bed.

"bite--"

The phone rang again.

This time it was a notification sound from WeChat.

When Zhuo Zhiyuan opened the message, he saw that it was from a friend whose contact name was "Tomboy".

"What are you still standing in the ward for? Get out of here!"

In just a few words, Zhuo Zhiyuan could even imagine the inner turmoil beneath Shu Jia's calm exterior.

Zhuo Zhiyuan put away his phone, then glanced up at Shu Jia without making a sound, meeting her gaze.

Shu Jia immediately gave Zhuo Zhiyuan another look.

Zhuo Zhiyuan: "..."

Zhuo Zhiyuan had no choice but to make an excuse, saying he had urgent work to do, and left the ward.

Zhuo Zhiyuan, who had just left the hospital, was busy dealing with Shu's parents and hadn't had time to think about anything else.

Now, just thinking about Shu Jia's pregnancy gives him a headache.

It was just one night, and Shu Jia even took the morning-after pill. How could she still get pregnant like that?

The more he thought about it, the worse it got. Zhuo Zhiyuan took out his phone to call Shu Jia, but he realized after dialing that the crazy woman was with her family.

Zhuo Zhiyuan swiped his finger to hang up the phone and switched his phone to WeChat.

[Zhuo Zhiyuan] No matter what, I will take responsibility for this child!

Shu Jia replied to the message very quickly.

[Tomboy]: Are you okay? (jpg)

Zhuo Zhiyuan: ...

I shouldn't have asked Shu Jia another question.

Zhuo Zhiyuan had no intention of going back to work, and besides, it was almost time to leave work.

So he went straight home.

At dinner time, facing a table full of his favorite dishes, Zhuo Zhiyuan still couldn't muster any interest.

"Zhiyuan, has the company encountered any problems lately?"

Grandma Zhuo couldn't stand it anymore and asked Zhuo Zhiyuan, who had been lost in thought ever since he sat down.

"Grandma—what would you do if you had a great-grandchild?"

Zhuo Zhiyuan's sudden words startled Grandma Zhuo.

Even Zhuo He put down his chopsticks and turned his attention to Zhuo Zhiyuan.

"You little rascal, did you get some girl pregnant?"

When Zhuo Zhiyuan heard what Zhuo He said, he was so surprised that he almost jumped off the stool.

Staring at Zhuo He's scrutinizing gaze and Grandma Zhuo's delighted look, Zhuo Zhiyuan forced himself to hold back and picked up his bowl and chopsticks to eat a large mouthful of rice.

After swallowing a large mouthful of food, she said nonchalantly, "How could that be! I just feel that now that I've graduated from university, it's time for me to date and have children! That's why I said that earlier!"

Grandma Zhuo believed Zhuo Zhiyuan's words, and her surprised look immediately turned into regret, but she quickly rallied: "Zhiyuan! Grandma knows a lot of pretty and cute girls, do you want me to introduce you to a few!"

As Grandma Zhuo spoke, she was secretly calculating in her mind: Hmm, if we start dating now, we can get married in six months, and in ten months she can hold her great-grandchild. That would be fine too!

Zhuo He, however, did not take Zhuo Zhiyuan's explanation seriously.

"It's fine if you just fool around and play around outside, but if you actually get a girl pregnant, I'll break your legs!"

"Dad—you're just trying to scare me!"

Zhuo Zhiyuan, trying to be clever, complained to his grandmother about his father.

He thought Grandma Zhuo would side with him, but to his surprise, she said, "Your dad is right. I like a legitimate great-grandson, but if it's illegal, not only will your dad break your legs, but I'll also help him stop you!"

Zhuo Zhiyuan: "..."

I originally wanted to test Grandma Zhuo and Zhuo He's thoughts.

have to!

Don't even mention it.

The thought of being tied to Shu Jia for life because of their child sent chills down Zhuo Zhiyuan's spine.

Shu Jia rested at home for three days before coming back to work.

Apart from Zhuo Zhiyuan, no one else in the company knew that Shu Jia was pregnant.

Therefore, when Zhuo Zhiyuan saw Shu Jia wearing sky-high heels in the company, a surge of anger rushed to his head.

By the time he realized what was happening, he had already pulled Shu Jia into the office.

Noticing the occasional glances and scrutiny from the employees outside the glass wall, Zhuo Zhiyuan immediately drew the curtains shut.

"Shu Jia, are you crazy? Don't you know your physical condition? Why are you wearing such high heels to work?"

Shu Jia shrugged indifferently, sat down on the sofa as if she knew her way around, poured herself a cup of coffee, and took a satisfied sip.

Zhuo Zhiyuan was furious and quickly stepped forward to snatch the coffee cup from Shu Jia's hand.

"Why would someone who's pregnant drink coffee?"

He didn't actually know if pregnant women could drink coffee, but it was better to be safe than sorry!

Moreover, he felt that as the child's biological father, he had a responsibility to remind Shu Jia to fulfill his obligations.

Shu Jia, whose coffee had been taken away, didn't say anything and simply shifted into a more comfortable position on the sofa.

He said nonchalantly, "What's the panic? I don't need you to take responsibility! Even if it's lost, it's none of your business!"

Zhuo Zhiyuan laughed in exasperation: "Easy for you to say—"

Shu Jia straightened up: "Our relationship was an accident to begin with, and I don't want this child. So please don't do anything unnecessary like today again!"

Is it unnecessary?

Zhuo Zhiyuan smiled.

These past few days, he hasn't been eating or sleeping well, and he's been suffering from moral condemnation. He's even thought about just going all out and confessing to Zhuo's parents and Shu's parents.

He will also spend his whole life taking responsibility for Shu Jia.

He thought about all of this, but it turns out it was all just wishful thinking on his part.

Shu Jia never intended to keep the child.

As if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head, Zhuo Zhiyuan stood with his back to Shu Jia and gave a silent, self-deprecating laugh.

He then turned around and sat down on the single sofa next to Shu Jia.

"You don't want this child? Well, it was an accident. Anyway, I didn't want it either. When are you planning to go to the hospital? Do you need me to go with you?"

Shu Jia glanced up at Zhuo Zhiyuan, who was slowly pouring himself coffee, and a strange, inexplicable feeling of frustration welled up inside her.

My mood suddenly soured.

"It's no big deal, I can handle it myself, no need to trouble yourself!"

After saying this, Shu Jia stood up and left the office without looking back.
