Chapter 57 You already have a child, and you still want a divorce?
Lin Xiyin was shocked and instinctively hid the receipts she hadn't had time to put away behind her back.
Her gaze towards Pei Muye was filled with panic, and her eyelashes trembled slightly.
Pei Muye had almost never seen her like this before.
In his memory, Lin Xiyin had always been aloof and indifferent, with the unique eccentricity and sharpness of a science girl.
But now, in front of him, she was as flustered as a little white rabbit that couldn't find its way home and was being targeted by a big bad wolf.
Pei Muye stared at her: "Take it out."
Lin Xiyin knew she shouldn't be so flustered.
But she desperately wanted a divorce, yet she also knew that the child in her womb wasn't just hers.
He also belongs to Pei Muye.
If Pei Muyue finds out, it will affect the divorce. Even if they eventually divorce, Pei Muyue will never let her take the child.
Why is Pei Muye at the hospital?
What a coincidence that I saw her!
Lin Xiyin still harbored a glimmer of hope, wondering what if Pei Muye hadn't guessed in that direction?
She tried to compose herself and said, "I came here with a friend..."
"Lin Xiyin." Pei Muye's voice was even colder: "Do I look like someone who's so easily fooled? Show me the receipts."
Lin Xiyin remained motionless.
Pei Muye said, "Should I ask the doctor inside? I think, as a husband, I have the right to know about my wife's physical condition after she became pregnant."
He found out.
Lin Xiyin felt as if she were standing on the edge of a cliff, with nowhere to retreat.
Seeing Lin Xiyin's pale face, Pei Muye suddenly reached out and grabbed her arm: "Let's go."
Lin Xiyin knew she couldn't avoid him, so she could only jog to keep up with him.
Pei Muye was tall and had long legs; one of his steps was equivalent to two of Lin Xiyin's.
Lin Xiyin was having a hard time keeping up.
Just as she was about to speak, Pei Muye suddenly slowed down.
Lin Xiyin couldn't stop and almost bumped into his back.
"What, you two are having a date at the hospital during the Chinese New Year?"
Lin Xiyin looked up and saw Lu Zuofan.
Lu Zuofan added, "I said I'd been waiting for ages and you still hadn't come; turns out you'd come to the wrong place."
He watched as Pei Muyi and Lin Xiyin came over from the maternity ward.
Pei Muye glanced at him and said, "Get back to work."
After saying that, he pulled Lin Xiyin toward the elevator.
Lu Zuofan shrugged, then looked at Lin Xiyin and smiled at her.
Lin Xiyin quickly looked away.
The two went downstairs, and Pei Muye didn't let go of her hand, just held her like that.
Lin Xiyin saw her car, and Pei Muye must have seen it too, but he ignored it, pulled Lin Xiyin to his car, opened the passenger seat, and shoved her inside.
He quickly got into the driver's seat as well.
The car was, of course, not started.
Out of the corner of her eye, Lin Xiyin saw Pei Muye tug hard at his tie, looking annoyed.
This child was an accident for him, and also... a problem.
Lin Xiyin began, "I..."
"Shut up!" Pei Muye's voice was cold: "Don't say anything now."
Lin Xiyin thought to herself, "Didn't you ask me to explain?"
But she wasn't stupid; she could tell Pei Muye looked unwell, and she wouldn't provoke him at this moment.
The carriage fell silent.
Lin Xiyin took the first medical report out of her bag and put it together with this one.
Now that Pei Muye has discovered it, she can no longer hide it.
From another perspective, Pei Muye is the child's father, and he certainly has the right to know.
I thought I could get away with it, but now it seems I'll have to find another way to get a divorce.
She didn't speak, but the rustling sound of her tidying up her things, along with the soft rustling of papers, filled the air.
Pei Muye lowered his eyes and tilted his head to look over.
Lin Xiyin handed him the things she had packed: "When I had my first checkup, the baby was six weeks along, and now it's eight. I had some bleeding this morning, so I came to the hospital for a checkup. But the doctor said it's nothing serious and prescribed some medicine."
Pei Muye paused for a few seconds, then reached out and took the medical reports.
Lin Xiyin noticed that his hands were trembling.
The inspection report, though only a few pages long, actually contained very little information.
Most of it is technical data, which is incomprehensible to the average person.
Finally, Pei Muye's gaze fell on the ultrasound report.
It's called a color Doppler ultrasound, but the images are actually very dark, and you can't even tell where the baby is.
However, the report below concludes that it is an intrauterine gestational sac, and the pregnancy is at six weeks.
Pei Muyi stared at those words for a long time.
Lin Xiyin waited and waited, but he didn't make a sound.
She couldn't help but speak up: "Pei Muye..."
Before she could finish speaking, Pei Muye finally spoke up: "Why... didn't you tell me?"
Lin Xiyin was taken aback.
"Just because we're getting a divorce, does that mean I don't even deserve to know about this child's existence?"
Everything he said was true, and Lin Xiyin didn't know how to answer him for a moment.
"Lin Xiyin, how cruel you are."
Regardless of the reason for their divorce, Lin Xiyin has no right to make any decisions about the children.
She didn't say anything.
Pei Muye didn't say anything more and folded the report.
Lin Xiyin thought he was going to give it to her, so she reached out to take it.
Pei Muye didn't even look at her, but turned to the side and put the papers into the storage drawer.
"I'll keep it safe."
He said.
Lin Xiyin could only respond with an "oh".
It's just a lab report, why should I keep it?
Then, Pei Muye started the car.
Lin Xiyin couldn't help but speak up; "My car..."
"You're pregnant, why are you driving!" Pei Muye's voice was cold: "You're not allowed to drive anymore."
"I'm only newly pregnant, it won't affect anything..." Looking at Pei Muye's expression, Lin Xiyin's heart sank: "Pei Muye, about our divorce..."
Pei Muyi turned his head to look at her, his gaze icy: "You already have a child, and you still want a divorce?"
Lin Xiyin immediately became anxious: "Our marriage has no meaning anymore. Even if we have children, so what? Do you want your child to be born into a family without love?"
"That's still better than letting the child live in a single-parent family."
“Pei Muye…”
"There's no room for negotiation on this," Pei Muyi said. "You're pregnant, and I still want a divorce? Would I even be a man?"
After saying that, the car started moving, and he didn't say anything more.
Lin Xiyin had almost never seen him with such a cold expression.
Even when the two had argued before, they never looked like they were about to kill each other.
Lin Xiyin dared not speak.
She was afraid that Pei Muyi might act impulsively and step on the gas, causing the car to overturn and him to die.
But in the end, she had no choice but to carefully begin, "Pei Muye..."
"Shut up! I don't want to hear anything you say right now!"
"But... I'm hungry."
The air fell silent instantly.
It's quite embarrassing.
Lin Xiyin thought that since she had already lost face, she didn't care if she continued to lose face.
“I’m so hungry,” she said. “I could eat a whole cow right now.”
Pei Muye slowed down.
Then, he pulled over.
He turned to look at Lin Xiyin: "Because of the pregnancy?"
"Hungry?"
"I've noticed you've been eating a lot these past few days."
Lin Xiyin gave him a strange look.
Pei Muye was actually concerned about how much she ate?
Shouldn't the person he's paying attention to be Ming Qingwan?
What would you like to eat?
Pei Muye's voice pulled her back to reality.
Lin Xiyin exclaimed "Ah!" before saying, "Anything is fine, I'm not picky."
"Xiaolongbao?"
Lin Xiyin paused for a moment before saying, "There are other kinds of food in the world besides xiaolongbao."
Pei Muyi was silent for a few seconds before saying, "But I know that the only thing you want to eat is xiaolongbao (soup dumplings)."
Lin Xiyin looked up out the car window.
Winter brings desolation everywhere, even the greenery in the green belts is a gray and gloomy.
She said, "Let's just find somewhere to eat."
Pei Muye started the car and went to a nearby private restaurant.
It was still early, and the restaurant was almost empty. After the two entered the private room, they remained silent for a moment.
She looked up several times and found Pei Muye looking at her.
Lin Xiyin simply lowered her eyes, pretending not to see.
We ordered two dishes and a soup, and they were served very quickly.
Pei Muye first served her a bowl of soup and placed it beside her.
Lin Xiyin thanked her softly and then began to eat.
She ate slowly, but she ate each bite with relish.
Pei Muye, who originally had little appetite, couldn't help but eat some with her.
After she put down her chopsticks, Pei Muye poured her a glass of water; "Can we talk now?"
Lin Xiyin said, "I'm full and I want to sleep."
Pei Muye said, "No wonder you've been going to bed so early these past few nights."
"Yes, I've been especially sleepy since I got pregnant."
“Then let’s go home first,” Pei Muye said. “Sleep whenever you want, don’t worry about anything else.”
Lin Xiyin asked, "Are you full?"
Two dishes and a soup were served, and the two of them ate almost everything; Pei Muyi ate less than Lin Xiyin.
Pei Muye nodded: "I'm full."
Let's go.
As she reached the door, Lin Xiyin turned back for a glance.
When she said she wanted to order two dishes and a soup, Pei Muye neither stopped her nor asked for any more dishes.
Unlike Chi Tianlin, who would order more dishes even if he couldn't finish them all.
Lin Xiyin suddenly spoke up: "Can we get it to go?"
Pei Muye paused, turned around and glanced back.
He asked, "There's only a little left, do you still need to pack it up? If you want some, I'll have them make more."
"No need." Lin Xiyin turned around. "Let's go."
Pei Muye went to pay the bill, while Lin Xiyin left the restaurant first.
Her mind was still a bit muddled; she didn't know how to talk to Pei Muye.
What can she do if Pei Muyi insists on not getting a divorce?
Now that Pei Muye knows she's pregnant, even if she produces the divorce agreement that she tricked him into signing, he probably won't accept it.
Could it be that... if she wants a divorce, the only option is to not have the child?
But she couldn't bear to part with it.
Let's go.
Pei Muye wrapped his arm around her waist.
Lin Xiyin awkwardly shifted to the side.
"Be careful, the ground is slippery." Pei Muye frowned and reached out to grab her wrist; "You're not alone anymore."
Lin Xiyin stopped struggling and let him pull her along.
Back at the Pei family home, Lin Xiyin took her medicine and then took a nap.
When she woke up, it was already past three o'clock.
She was startled when she opened her eyes and saw the man sitting by the bed.
What are you doing sitting here?
"I've been waiting for you." Pei Muye looked at her. "Can we talk now?"
