That day, after attending a summit within the industry, Xiang Jin suddenly felt unwell.
Assistant Yangyang was frantic and immediately contacted the organizers to cancel the subsequent autograph session, then rushed her to the hospital.
On the way, she was on edge and highly nervous, already imagining how much Xiao Ye would scold her. So she made a call on her own initiative, willing to take the scolding in order to get a reduced sentence.
Xiang Jin stopped her and told her to drive carefully, otherwise she would really throw up.
Yangyang didn't dare to delay and rushed Xiangjin to the hospital as quickly as possible. She registered for emergency care and saw a specialist. The trembling old professor took off his reading glasses and said, "You young people, if you don't want children, take precautions. It's a life, don't take it lightly."
The old professor mistakenly thought the two were people getting an abortion late at night.
Xiang Jin was stunned.
Yangyang, who was standing next to her, was the first to react: "Professor, what do you mean? You're not a quack, are you? My sister Jin just has a stomachache and feels nauseous. What nonsense about babies!"
The old professor looked at Yangyang as if she were a mentally challenged child.
"My stomach is upset, I feel nauseous and want to vomit. What do you think this is?"
"Gastroenteritis! These are all the symptoms I have when I have gastroenteritis. Sister Jin ate something cold and then something spicy today, along with two small cakes and a plate of peanut rolls. Later, she even went to eat hot pot. Halfway through the summit, she said she was hungry again, so I bought her two sandwiches..."
Yangyang's voice grew softer and softer.
She looked at Xiang Jin with a strange expression: "Sister Jin, you ate two days' worth of my food in one meal today!"
Xiang Jin rubbed his forehead, ignoring the idiot, and continued to ask the professor, "Professor, how many months has it been? Is everything normal now?"
"Don't you know you haven't had your period for several months?"
Xiang Jin touched her nose: "I thought it was just because of my period..."
The professor sighed again: "You young people, you're really playing around."
As soon as I left the hospital, Murong Xiao called, his voice a little anxious: "What happened? I just heard you went to the hospital. Are you feeling unwell?"
"This..." Xiang Jin hesitated, unsure how to begin.
Since waking up from the car accident, her health had been poor; she frequently felt dizzy and weak. The doctor said this was due to excessive physical strain and that she needed time to recover. So, after their wedding, Murong Xiao took her on a spontaneous trip.
First France, then Italy, then the UK, then Northern Europe to see the Northern Lights, then Australia to see the coral reefs, then Bali to see the sea… I spent a whole year traveling before coming back.
After returning, Xiang Jin expressed her desire to have a child, but Murong Xiao refused.
"Take good care of your health first, we can talk about the baby later." When the topic of children came up, Murong Xiao always frowned, seemingly without any anticipation for the new life.
This isn't the first time; it's happened several times before.
On one occasion, he even got angry when she mentioned the children.
Xiang Jin sighed, wondering why he was so resistant to children, if he didn't like the child...
"What's wrong? Speak up." The voice on the phone pulled Xiang Jin back to reality. She coughed and replied cautiously, "I'm fine... it's just... I'm pregnant."
"It's been more than two months."
"Dizziness, stomach discomfort, and vomiting are all pregnancy symptoms..."
"Murong Xiao, we're going to have a baby."
She waited anxiously for a reply, but after a long silence, the other end only said one sentence before hanging up: "Stand there and don't move, I'll be right there. Ten minutes, no, five minutes."
As expected, he was punctual. Five minutes later, he appeared at the hospital entrance. The tall, imposing man strode up to her, took the test results from her hand, and a hint of emotion flickered across his usually composed expression.
After a long silence, he gently reached out and stroked her flat stomach.
"Are you unhappy?" she asked tentatively.
The man didn't answer her question, but instead held her in his arms, his voice choked with emotion: "Ah Jin, this time I will be with you, and no one will ever hurt you and the baby again."
Xiang Jin breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought you wouldn't like it."
"How could that be? I've always dreamed of having one. But more than the child, I don't want you to suffer."
She said that when her first child left her body, she was in a lot of pain.
That was her nightmare, her most desperate moment, a memory she didn't want to recall. He would rather not have children than let her go through that pain again.
Moreover, her health has been poor since the car accident, and if she had to go through childbirth again... Murong Xiao's brows furrowed once more. He was not afraid of anything except the possibility of something going wrong.
Even the fearless and arrogant Murong Xiao was afraid of "what if".
Because he knew clearly that if that unforeseen event were to occur, he would probably not live much longer, and he did not want to relive the nightmare of three years ago.
God knows how much he suffered during the two years she was in a coma.
The only consolation is that she still has hope of waking up, otherwise...
Murong Xiao didn't think any further, because the person in front of him reached out and hooked his neck.
So this was what he had always cared about, so this was his weakness... A warm current surged through Xiang Jin's heart, spreading inch by inch throughout her body. She tiptoed and gently kissed the corner of his lips, as if making a promise or a guarantee: "Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to me. For you and the child, I will persevere no matter how difficult it is."
She said, "Murong Xiao, I love you so much, how could I bear to leave you?"
