Shu Jia touched her flat stomach. It was amazing. It looked exactly the same as before, but there was already a little life inside.

But so what?

It is destined never to see the vibrant colors of this world.

Shu Jia got up and walked towards the consultation room.

The doctor she booked was a leading authority in obstetrics and gynecology at Nanxing University Hospital, a very kind female doctor.

The doctor picked up Shu Jia's ultrasound report and explained the results to her in detail: "Ms. Shu, you are carrying twins! Two adorable little ones! See, this is their head, and this is their torso..."

Shu Jia's eyes followed the female doctor's finger, and by the time the female doctor finished explaining the ultrasound results, Shu Jia was already in tears without realizing it.

The female doctor, perhaps having seen this scene many times before, quietly waited for Shu Jia to finish crying, and after Shu Jia calmed down, she considerately handed her a tissue.

"Ms. Shu, have you thought it through? If you have, I'll arrange the surgery for you right away."

Shu Jia lay on the examination table, her hand hanging by her side, clutching the ultrasound results so tightly that her fingertips turned white, while her other hand unconsciously touched her lower abdomen.

It turns out that God had arranged for two little babies to be in her belly. Was she really going to be so heartless as to kill these two little lives?

Shu Jia closed her eyes in sorrow.

After a long while, when Shu Jia opened her eyes again, her expression had returned to calm.

"I've thought it through, let's schedule the surgery!"

"Okay, the surgery will be in half an hour."

"……Thanks!"

——

Neonatal ward.

Looking at the rows of babies in the ward through the thick glass, Shu Jia's heart suddenly softened completely.

In the end, even though she was already on the operating table, she still deserted.

She couldn't bear to part with it; she really couldn't bear to.

She couldn't feel anything from the two tiny little creatures that were still so small, but the thought of them leaving her completely made Shu Jia's heart ache.

She made up her mind; no matter what, she was going to give birth to these two children.

——

Once the decision is made, the rest is actually quite simple.

Shu Jia thought that she must do everything she could to give her child the best material and emotional life, and let her child grow up in a loving environment.

She still has professional dealings with Zhuo Zhiyuan, but perhaps she needs to make plans soon, finish her current work, sell her company shares, and then leave to start anew in a place without Zhuo Zhiyuan.

Shu Jia had planned everything perfectly, but the one thing she hadn't considered was that her health was exceptionally poor; she fainted during a business trip with Zhuo Zhiyuan.

Zhuo Zhiyuan discovered that the child was still alive.

Shu Jia had never seen Zhuo Zhiyuan so angry, as if he wanted to take her down with him.

She almost hoped that she was wrong, that Zhuo Zhiyuan was also looking forward to the arrival of the child, just like her.

Shu Jia dared not think too deeply about it, fearing that her hopes would be dashed.

So she pretended to be relaxed, but Zhuo Zhiyuan acted as if he were facing a formidable enemy, taking meticulous care of her in every way.

Shu Jia thought that not only she had grown over the years, but Zhuo Zhiyuan had also grown a lot.

In the past, let alone taking care of himself, Zhuo Zhiyuan would have taken advantage of his weak state to mock him and then kicked him while he was down.

But now, Shu Jia could sense that although Zhuo Zhiyuan was very angry because of her deception, he was able to suppress his temper and take good care of her.

Even though Shu Jia's requests were sometimes unreasonable or even excessive, Zhuo Zhiyuan, despite his cold expression, ultimately fulfilled them.

For a moment, Shu Jia thought that agreeing to let Zhuo Zhiyuan take responsibility wasn't a bad idea; the child needed a psychologically mature father.

The father's role is very important for a child's growth, and it is something that the mother can never replace.

So Shu Jia asked, "Zhuo Zhiyuan, do you have someone you like?"

If not, how about we get together?

Beyond just taking responsibility, perhaps we could also try having a relationship that makes us both happy.

If she does, she will disappear completely and will never bring her child to bother him.

"No."

Those two short words made Shu Jia feel as if fireworks were blooming all over the sky, magnificent and dazzling.

Shu Jia decided to test Zhuo Zhiyuan again and see his reaction. If Zhuo Zhiyuan really didn't dislike the two children, she thought she would go all out and gamble everything to try with Zhuo Zhiyuan.

Shu Jia deliberately spoke harshly to Zhuo Zhiyuan, saying that she regretted giving up the abortion.

Zhuo Zhiyuan flew into a rage in an instant, and his words were extremely cold.

But Shu Jia grasped the key meaning that Zhuo Zhiyuan had not expressed: Zhuo Zhiyuan hated himself for being too heartless to the child.

So, is Zhuo Zhiyuan really looking forward to this child?

Shu Jia was so excited she almost lost her words. She suppressed her chaotic emotions and forced herself to remain calm as she said, "I want to give birth to him."

Zhuo Zhiyuan's sneer froze, and he looked at Shu Jia in disbelief.

His gaze was so intense that Shu Jia was completely stunned. She stammered incoherently, unable to recall what she had said to Zhuo Zhiyuan.

Finally, Zhuo Zhiyuan took the initiative to bring up the word "marriage".

Even though Shu Jia had anticipated all sorts of outcomes, when the best result came out, she still couldn't believe it was reality.

After a long while, Shu Jia calmed herself down. Although she got the result she wanted, Shu Jia didn't want Zhuo Zhiyuan to see her happiness.

Zhuo Zhiyuan's personality is really awful. If he finds out that I also want to get married, he'll be so arrogant.

Living together for the sake of the children, well, this kind of life isn't bad.

Zhuo Zhiyuan may have a bad personality, but his character is absolutely excellent.

Shu Jia was finally able to put her mind at ease, a weight that had been hanging over her since she became pregnant.

After agreeing on the marriage, the rest of the days will naturally follow, including discussing marriage and getting married.

When Shu Jia told her friends about her marriage, they were surprised: "You've found your knight in shining armor?"

Shu Jia touched her belly and smiled with relief: "Not yet, maybe he won't be my hero, but he will definitely be a good father."

When her friends saw Shu Jia stroking her already showing belly with a happy expression, they smiled and offered their blessings.

Shu Jia thought that she probably wouldn't have the chance to meet her knight in shining armor again in this lifetime. Time will eventually smooth out all the rough edges of a person, but at the same time, it will bring new hope.

And this hope is the two little lives that are about to be born.
