Months of peaceful and blissful days flowed by, and Ye Yashi's abdomen gradually swelled, like a small hillock pregnant with hope. One day, Li Chuyang finally noticed something was wrong. His eyes showed both surprise and worry, and he quickly took her to the hospital for a detailed examination.
Ye Ya Shi had not yet decided to meet Li Chuyang's family, and because of this, a fierce quarrel broke out between the two for the first time.
"Why don't you come back with me to meet my parents?" Li Chuyang tugged at his collar, his face brimming with irritation, his voice rising unknowingly. He'd asked Ye Yashi countless times, not just once, but each time politely declined. His eyes burned with rage, like a volcano about to erupt.
"I... I'm not ready yet." Ye Yashi nervously touched her belly, her eyes evasive, not daring to meet Li Chuyang's gaze, her voice trembling slightly. Her hands tightly grasped the corners of her clothes, as if seeking a sense of security.
"What are you worried about? I've been responsive to your requests lately, and my family is easy to get along with. Since we got married, I've obeyed you in everything. I haven't even met any of your family, and you don't want to see mine. I feel like we're not husband and wife, but like a pair of lovers having an affair." Li Chuyang's voice rose with increasing agitation, his eyes filled with confusion and anger. He paced back and forth in the room, each step tinged with suppressed anxiety.
"I... I haven't figured out how to get along with your family yet." Ye Yashi's voice was filled with tears, and she seemed very helpless, tears welling up in her eyes. She raised her head and tried to explain, but seeing Li Chuyang's angry expression, she swallowed her words back.
"Haven't you made up your mind? We've been married for so long, and you still haven't made up your mind? I've told you time and time again, and you've rejected me time and time again. What are you worried about? Don't you want to integrate into my family at all? Don't you want to acknowledge our relationship?" Li Chuyang stopped and stared at Ye Ya Shi, his eyes full of disappointment and questioning.
Ye Yashi couldn't help sobbing, "That's not what I meant. I'm just afraid. I'm afraid they won't accept me."
"Afraid? What's there to be afraid of? I told you they are easy to get along with, why don't you believe me?" Li Chuyang shouted loudly, slamming the table with both hands, shaking everything on the table.
"I have never been good at getting along with my elders since I was a child. I don't know what to do to make them happy." Ye Ya Shi cried with tears in her eyes, her body trembling slightly.
"That's not even a reason! You've been avoiding and refusing. What do you think of me? What do you think of our marriage?" Li Chuyang gasped, his chest heaving violently.
Ye Ya Shi cried out in despair: "I really don't have it, I just need time, why can't you understand me?"
"Understand? I've given you enough time, but what about you? You keep dragging it out and making me wait. I don't know how long I have to wait!" Li Chuyang's voice was almost a roar, and the whole room was filled with an atmosphere of tension and anger.
Ye Yashi covered her ears, squatted on the ground, and cried heartbreakingly. Li Chuyang looked at her in such pain, and the anger in his heart was instantly replaced by heartache, but he still couldn't bring himself to comfort her, and angrily slammed the door and walked out.
Li Chuyang felt like he was punching cotton. He was furious and helpless, and slammed the door in anger. He found his brothers to drink together, trying to drown his sorrows. After getting drunk, he returned to the Su family's villa. He didn't want to see Ye Yashi tonight. He also needed to calm down and think carefully about their relationship.
Ye Yashi sat alone on the sofa, her eyes fixed on the door, eagerly anticipating Li Chuyang's return. But after a whole night of waiting, Li Chuyang still hadn't come home. She grew increasingly uneasy, recalling the beginning of her relationship with Li Chuyang, which was filled with uncertainty and twists and turns.
Her tears streamed down her face, and a sudden pain in her stomach made her even more anxious. She quickly picked up her phone and called Li Chuyang, her voice tearful, "I... my stomach hurts."
Li Chuyang sobered up instantly when he heard the soft, sobbing voice. He immediately grasped the key point: she had a stomachache, was there something wrong with the baby? He hurriedly scrambled to his feet, only then realizing he was still wearing his clothes from last night. He gently comforted the girl across from him, his voice filled with anxiety and worry, "Don't cry, I'll be right there. I'm calling the hospital now."
Li Chuyang hurriedly took out another work phone and called 120. On the other end, he continued to comfort Ye Ya Shi. Listening to her sobbing, he felt heartbroken. He thought to himself that if anything happened to the child, he would never forgive himself for the rest of his life.
He drove the car faster and faster, wishing he could fly to Ye Yashi's side in an instant. Ye Yashi said to him weakly, "I'm in the hospital."
Li Chuyang rushed all the way to the hospital and found Ye Yashi's ward panting. When he saw Ye Yashi's pale little face lying quietly on the bed, his heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible big hand, and he felt distressed.
Seeing Li Chuyang coming, the doctor spoke in an unhappy tone, a bit blaming, "Have you been drinking? Your wife is pregnant, how could you leave her home alone? Fortunately, it was discovered early, otherwise you would regret it for the rest of your life. Both mother and child are safe, and they still need some time to recuperate. Remember not to make pregnant women emotional or angry, and keep a good mood."
Li Chuyang lowered his head, like a child who had done something wrong, his face full of guilt, and apologized repeatedly, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention for a moment."
"What's the point of apologizing to me? Go apologize to your wife." The doctor glared at him angrily and turned away.
Li Chuyang walked to the bedside, holding Ye Yashi's hand tightly, his eyes full of guilt and heartache, and he kept apologizing, "I'm sorry, I was too excited yesterday, it's all my fault. From now on, if you want to see me, we can meet. If you don't want to see me, I won't force you. I'll listen to you, okay? I won't stay out all night again. I went home to sleep last night."
Ye Yashi looked at the haggard man in front of her. The smell of alcohol on him made her feel a little nauseous. She frowned slightly and said, "Go wash up first. I can't stand the smell of your alcohol."
Li Chuyang quickly booked a room near the hospital and asked Xiao Liu to bring him a set of clothes. He showered and brushed his teeth several times in the room, only leaving the bathroom when he could no longer smell the alcohol. Xiao Liu promptly delivered his clothes. Li Chuyang changed and asked Xiao Liu to go back. He then eagerly returned to the hospital.
The woman on the bed was already asleep.
