In 2016, August was coming to an end. At noon, the scorching sun was burning the whole world as if it was melting. The black and gray asphalt road was sending up waves of heat in circles. However, no matter how hot the sun was, it could not melt the ice covering Ji Yuqi's body and wrapping her tightly.
She felt like she had fallen into an endless world of ice and snow, so cold that the blood flowing in her body seemed to have no temperature at all.
That day, Lu Yanjing ended his three-month imprisonment. He was wearing an electronic anklet on his ankle that humiliated his dignity. However, when he looked at her under the golden sunlight, his eyes were still as gentle and affectionate as usual.
No, to be more precise: it is indulgence, it is insolence, and even more so, it is pampering.
Ji Yuqi stood under the scorching sun, his thin face gradually becoming paler.
Even at the end, there was no trace of color on the lips.
Seeing her grim expression, Lu Yanjing thought she was still worried about the medical examination report. So he frowned and moved his beautiful lips. He hesitated for a long time before speaking in a gentle and soft voice: "A single four-dimensional color Doppler ultrasound can never guarantee a 100% diagnosis. Even the best doctors can make mistakes."
"Besides, the baby is still young and developing rapidly. The doctor just said that in two months, the baby's heart might heal on its own."
"If you're really worried, I'll take you to another hospital this afternoon to see a specialist and get another 4D scan."
"Even if there are problems, it won't be a big deal. Medical technology is so advanced nowadays."
"As for my uncle and aunt... I know they know the child's condition, and I'm afraid they won't agree to keep it. They might even go to extremes and ask you to have an abortion. However, as long as you want this child, I can help you find a way to convince them to let you give birth to the child."
"Xiao Qi, your mood swings are too great and will affect the child."
The more Lu Yanjing comforted him, the more Ji Yuqi's thin body trembled.
When Lu Yanjing frowned and bent down, wanting to ask her if she was feeling unwell, Ji Yuqi suddenly turned around and threw herself into his arms.
She even stood on tiptoe and suddenly kissed his chin.
In the bright sunshine, she smiled like a flower.
However, the voice was trembling with crying.
She said, "Yan Jing, I saw Pei Yucheng reflected in the glass wall of the coffee shop opposite. Why did he suddenly come to Country M?! He was staring at my belly just now, probably trying to guess the baby's month. According to his personality, he will definitely check the baby's bloodline in detail. If he finds out that the child is his, there will be a big mess. He can't stay here. The investigation over there is very strict, and he will be in danger. Please help me think of a way to make him return to the capital immediately. No, make him completely give up the idea of coming to Country M..."
As the snowstorm passed, the imperial capital experienced the largest power outage in nearly twenty years.
The metropolis that was once bright with neon lights is now plunged into endless darkness.
Ji Yuqi, who had just woken up from a nightmare, sat on the bay window of the hotel, looking out the dark and cold window where there was no light at all. The dark red candlelight passed through the gaps in her drooping hair and was reflected on her pale face. The light was dotted with stars, mottled, desolate and lifeless.
It was so bleak that it was frightening.
The phone rang for the fifth time before she answered it stiffly.
