Xiang Jin put down her chopsticks: "But he just likes it."
No matter how good she is, what's the use if he doesn't like her?
Bai Ningshuang pinched the flesh on her face and sighed.
"How could you be so fixated on him? Falling in love with someone like that, ugh, I'm so angry. Let's eat."
Bai Ningshuang served Xiang Jin some food.
Xiang Jin picked up her chopsticks again and buried her head in her food.
At this moment, the waiter served a dish of sashimi.
A pungent, fishy smell hit Xiang Jin, making her feel nauseous. She quickly covered her mouth and nose and ran to the bathroom.
"Ah Jin, what's wrong?"
Bai Ningshuang put down her chopsticks and hurriedly chased after them.
Xiang Jin vomited violently in the toilet.
“I thought you were upset and came here to cry, but I didn’t expect—” Bai Ningshuang suddenly remembered something and her hand that was patting her back suddenly stopped.
"Ah Jin, when was the last time you had your period?"
Xiang Jin was so dizzy from vomiting that she couldn't think straight at all. She didn't even consider why she would ask that question, and just subconsciously replied, "It seems to be the tenth, so what?"
"The 10th of last month, or the 10th of the month before last."
The hand that was touching his chest suddenly stopped.
She... forgot.
Seeing her face gradually turn pale, Bai Ningshuang's expression also became serious: "Ajin, you wouldn't happen to be pregnant, would you?"
…………
After finishing their meal, Bai Ningshuang pulled Xiang Jin outside.
She had a serious expression on her face.
"Shuangshuang, can we go to the hospital tomorrow? I have to go back to the company today to report for work. There are still some design tasks that I haven't finished."
Bai Ningshuang stopped in her tracks.
"Then you should call the company now and ask for leave. The sooner the better, I'm worried about you."
"But--"
"Ask for leave? What for?"
A sudden yet familiar voice rang out, and the two of them stiffened, turning to look at the source of the sound. Murong Xiao was standing there, his right hand tucked into his smoky gray trouser leg, exuding a languid air.
"nothing……"
Xiang Jin's expression turned cold, and he turned and walked in the other direction.
His familiar hand gripped hers again.
"Get in the car."
"No need, Shuangshuang and I have things to do." Xiang Jin shook him off.
"Get in the car, I have something to tell you."
"open!"
Xiang Jin shook off his hand again, her face cold: "I have nothing to say to you."
At this moment, Murong Xiao was like a sticky candy, completely ungrateful. He wasn't angry when Xiang Jin shook him off; he simply used both hands to pick her up before she could run away.
Then I threw it into the car.
He hit her a little too hard, and Xiang Jin bounced twice in the car, instinctively clutching her stomach.
Xiang Jin frowned, her anger rising for no apparent reason: "Murong Xiao, what's wrong with you?"
Murong Xiao frowned and remained silent.
He slammed the car door shut.
"drive!"
"OK."
Su Ming silently stepped on the gas and slowly drove forward.
Feeling a sudden discomfort in her stomach, Xiang Jin gently rubbed it and frowned as she looked out the window.
She was in a state of extreme confusion.
She had never considered this possibility when she was feeling unwell before, because she had been using contraception. The only time she didn't take the pill was when he returned to China during the time when the incident was trending on social media.
She was in a panic and was about to take her medicine when Murong Xiao noticed. She forgot about it afterwards. Later, they had a fight, and she was busy with work, so she didn't pay attention to her period at all...
Counting the time, my aunt never visited again after that.
If I am really pregnant...
She divorced Murong Xiao again...
Forget it, I can't think about it. I'll wait until the test is done before I think about it. I'll go crazy if I keep thinking like this.
"Does your stomach hurt?"
A warm hand suddenly covered hers and placed it on the back of her hand that was resting on her abdomen.
Xiang Jin was startled and instinctively shook off his hand: "No."
"How many times have you shrugged me off today, huh?" The man's voice turned cold, and his gaze swept over Xiang Jin.
Xiang Jin asked coldly, "Where are we going now?"
You'll know when you get there.
After a while, the car stopped at a shopping mall.
I've never been to this shopping mall before, but it's very famous.
It is the most expensive shopping mall in Huadu, a high-end consumption area meticulously crafted by Feng Rong. Any single item inside costs more than her annual salary.
Xiang Jin had no idea what he was going to do.
But her mind wasn't on that now, so she numbly followed him into the mall.
They went into a clothing store.
"Mr. Xiao, what are you here to buy this time?" The shop assistant was very enthusiastic, but also very polite and tactful.
"Take out all the sizes that fit her here."
The shop assistant looked at Xiang Jin.
A hint of amazement flashed in her eyes.
"This young lady is beautiful and looks good in anything. Please wait a moment, I'll go get it now."
A few moments later, several racks of clothes were pushed in front of Xiang Jin.
Murong Xiao picked out the items one by one.
"This is good, go try it on." He picked out a few clothes and handed them to Xiang Jin.
Xiang Jin was stunned.
"You...you're going to buy me clothes?"
"Can't you tell? I'm just trying to make you happy." Murong Xiao said seriously.
Xiang Jin: "..."
She didn't notice.
These material things are not what she loves. Right now, all she can think about is Fang Xinman and her child. She has no interest in these things.
"You don't need to make me happy, there's no need."
