Chapter 18 You're pregnant.
Unexpectedly, the plan, which had been in the works for more than a month, came to an abrupt end.
Sang Qian sat on the sofa, her mind still foggy. After a while, her phone rang again.
This time it was a video call from Su Luoluo.
As soon as Sang Qian answered the call, Su Luoluo's face was magnified on the screen. "Qianqian, for tomorrow's farewell banquet, would you like Chinese food, Western food, or French food? I think we should go for authentic Beijing cuisine. After all, you won't be able to eat it once you go to the west."
Sang Qian said listlessly, "No need."
"No need?" Su Luoluo's eyes widened. "How can that be? We agreed that Dahai would pay, don't worry about the cost."
As she finished speaking, a man squeezed into the video and said, "That's right, this is your first time going far away for work, and it'll be for a year or two. We have to give you a proper send-off."
The speaker was Tang Yuehai.
Sang Qian, Su Luoluo, and Tang Yuehai were junior high school classmates, and the three of them became friends back then. They agreed to be brothers, but in the end, the two of them became a couple.
Sang Qian looked at her two friends and said, "I'm not trying to save you money, it's just that I can't go to the West anymore."
"We can't go anymore?"
The two people on the other end exclaimed in shock in unison, then exchanged a glance. Su Luoluo asked, "What happened?"
Sang Qian sighed and told them what had just happened.
Su Luoluo: "How could this happen? How could a perfectly good project just be stopped like this?"
Sang Qian pouted, "Who knows?"
Su Luoluo looked at her with heartache, "My baby is so pitiful."
"It's okay, honey. If you can't go, you can't go. Anyway, there are plenty of jobs in Beijing that match your major."
Tang Yuehai chimed in, "Yes, with your skills, you can make the most of your abilities anywhere."
Su Luoluo said, "If all else fails, we can open our own studio."
Watching them comfort her one after another, Sang Qian couldn't help but smile. "Don't worry, I'm not that fragile. I won't be sad and cry just because I can't go to the West."
"See, I told you my baby is the strongest."
After Su Luoluo finished speaking with Tang Yuehai, she turned to look at Sang Qian in front of the screen and chuckled, "In that case, I have a little suggestion."
Sang Qian, "What?"
"Should we change tomorrow's farewell banquet into a celebration banquet?"
Sang Qian asked in confusion, "A celebration banquet?"
Su Luoluo said happily, "Yes, to celebrate that you're not going to the west."
Sang Qian, "..."
Are you polite?
"Hey." Tang Yuehai tugged at her arm: "How can you talk like that? You're celebrating even though we can't go."
"What? Qianqian isn't leaving us anymore, aren't you happy?"
"Being happy is one thing, but what you're saying is wrong."
Su Luoluo: "If you're happy, go celebrate. What's wrong with that?"
"If you say that, won't Qianqian be even more upset?"
Su Luoluo immediately looked at Sang Qian, "Baby, are you sad?"
Sang Qian looked at the two arguing over there and said speechlessly, "I'm not sad."
"That's great!" Tang Yuehai, who had just spoken up for justice, snapped his fingers and said excitedly, "I'll go book a restaurant in a bit, and we'll have a proper celebration tomorrow."
Sang Qian, "..."
Having you two is truly my blessing.
Sang Qian didn't want to spoil their fun, but she really wasn't in the mood these past two days, so she made an excuse and said, "Let's celebrate together after I get my divorce certificate."
“Yes, yes, yes, divorce should be celebrated too.” Su Luoluo agreed wholeheartedly.
"Okay, then we'll wait three more days until you get your divorce certificate, and then we'll celebrate together."
After ending the call with them, Sang Qian put down her phone and stared blankly at the calendar hanging on the wall.
Her schedule was originally packed in the days leading up to her divorce, but now that she doesn't have to go to the west, she suddenly has a lot of free time.
Perhaps because she had lost all hope and purpose, Sang Qian suddenly felt physically and mentally exhausted, and fell asleep on the sofa without realizing it.
When she woke up again, night had already fallen.
For the next two days, Sang Qian didn't step out of her house at all, lazily staying at home, sleeping when she was tired and ordering takeout when she was hungry.
She planned to just let the three days before the divorce pass by like this.
However, on the night before the last day of the cooling-off period, she suddenly had a stomachache while taking a shower.
She was in so much pain that she felt dizzy. She trembled as she dressed and came out of the bathroom, but then the pain was gone.
Actually, she had a slight stomach ache a couple of days ago, but because it wasn't as noticeable as it is today, she didn't pay attention to it.
Why would I have a stomachache out of the blue?
I've never experienced anything like this before.
Could it be that there's something wrong with his stomach?
Lying in bed, Sang Qian felt increasingly uneasy.
I simply sat up, opened my phone, and searched online—
I feel weak all over, have occasional stomach pains, and sometimes feel nauseous. What could this be?
Pressing the search button immediately brought up multiple results on the screen.
Each one is more serious than the last.
Chronic gastritis...
Stomach ulcers...
Gastroesophageal reflux disease...
Even more outrageous is the case of mid-to-late stage stomach cancer.
Sang Qian clicked on each one carefully and compared them. The symptoms described in each illness were somewhat similar to her own.
The more she looked, the more flustered she became.
Could she really... have a terminal illness?
When I get nervous, I feel a dull ache in that spot again.
Sang Qian clutched her abdomen, gritting her teeth and enduring the pain.
no.
Whether she's sick or not, she has to go to the hospital for a checkup tomorrow; she can't scare herself unnecessarily.
Having not slept well all night, Sang Qian went to the hospital the next morning.
She booked an appointment with a specialist, explained her situation to the doctor, who asked her some questions and then ordered some tests.
After receiving the test results, she looked at the doctor nervously, "Doctor, I... I don't have anything seriously wrong, do I?"
The doctor looked up at her nervous expression and smiled. "Don't be nervous. You're pregnant, it's not an illness. You should go to the obstetrics and gynecology department."
"Pregnant?"
Sang Qian's head buzzed for a moment, then she shook her head violently, "This, this is impossible."
"Doctor, is there a mistake in the test? I just have a stomachache, how could I be pregnant?"
When Jin Changyu first got married, he told his mother that he didn't plan to have children for the time being, so he would take precautions every time.
How could she possibly be pregnant?
"That's right, you're more than four weeks pregnant."
The doctor handed her the test results and said, "What you described are just symptoms of early pregnancy."
Sang Qian took the test results with trembling hands and stared at them.
One month pregnant?
Wasn't that... their last time together before Jin Changyu went on his business trip?
"That's impossible, we definitely used contraception."
Doctor: "Contraception is not 100% effective in preventing pregnancy."
An hour later.
After leaving the obstetrics and gynecology department, Sang Qian took the examination report and got off the elevator, walking absentmindedly towards the outpatient entrance.
Suddenly bumping into someone, her mind went blank, and she took a slow step back, "I'm sorry..."
She looked up and was suddenly confronted by Jin Changyu's face.
Sang Qian suddenly froze, her mind going blank.
"Sang Qian?"
Jin Changyu looked down at her and asked, "Why are you at the hospital?"
When he asked her that question, Sang Qian snapped back to reality and hurriedly hid the medical report behind her back.
"I...I...I have a headache, I came to see a doctor, yes, I came to see a doctor."
Jin Changyu looked at her flustered and helpless face, then glanced at her hands that she had hidden behind her back.
"What illness?"
