Wen Yanci saw that Lin Xuqiu's eyes were dull, with only endless emptiness in them, as if his soul had been hollowed out, and he couldn't help but hold his breath.
He slowly approached the stunned woman, took her into his arms again, and soothed her in a gentle voice.
"Xuqiu, stop thinking about those unimportant things. You are tired and need a good sleep."
"Especially now that you're pregnant, your emotions shouldn't fluctuate so drastically..."
Lin Xuqiu's dull eyes finally showed some emotion, and he asked in confusion.
"You said I was pregnant?"
Wen Yanci's eyes softened, and he looked at the woman in his arms and spoke gently.
"Well, Xuqiu, you are now pregnant with our baby, and the baby is already five weeks old."
"Our baby must be very beautiful and cute..."
After hearing the man's answer, Lin Xuqiu's ears buzzed, his mind went blank, and it seemed as if he could not hear anything for a moment.
She pushed the man away again, but not as excited and fearful as before. She kept a distance from the man and asked weakly.
"How did you get pregnant?"
"We always take protective measures, don't we?"
Wen Yanci's eyes were full of apology as he spoke softly.
"I'm sorry, Xuqiu, I didn't protect you well."
"I figured I conceived that time in the bathroom. Unfortunately, I ran out of condoms that day, and I thought it was my safe period, so I didn't wear one."
Lin Xuqiu looked at the man in front of her in disbelief. She knew he didn't wear it that time because she had agreed, but she never expected that he would have sex right away, especially during her safe period.
At this moment, she suddenly remembered that her menstrual period had been delayed for a long time. She thought it was because she was too busy recently.
Lin Xuqiu felt like her brain was about to explode. She was completely caught off guard by suddenly having a baby, so she spoke weakly.
"I'm very tired now. I want to be alone. Please go out first."
Wen Yanci didn't want to go out, but was afraid of irritating her again, so he nodded helplessly and said.
"Okay, you have a good rest, I will guard you outside, if you feel uncomfortable, you must tell me."
Lin Xuqiu ignored him and lay down on the bed, covered herself with the quilt, turned her back to the man, and closed her eyes.
Wen Yanci lowered his eyes and looked at the woman who wrapped herself in a quilt. He sighed softly in his heart and walked out of the ward helplessly and reluctantly.
After walking out of the ward, a moment later, the man's eyes suddenly became gloomy, and his whole body exuded a terrifying murderous aura.
He will not let Shen Yulan go...

After the man left.
Lin Xuqiu slowly opened her eyes. Even though her eyes were sore and unbearable, her red and swollen eye sockets were still filled with tears. Crystal tears slid down her pale cheeks and dripped onto the pillow.
Before long, a large area of her pillow was wet.
Her mind was in a state of confusion, and her hand involuntarily stroked her flat belly through the quilt, muttering softly.
"Baby, why did you come at this time?"
"Are you here to join in the fun too?"
Lin Xuqiu recalled word for word what Wen Yanci had just explained to her.
She knew very well that Shen Yulan's motives for saying these things to her were impure, and she didn't want Shen Yulan to succeed, but it was difficult for her not to be affected.
Wen Yanci repeatedly emphasized that he did not love Shen Yulan. There was indeed no love for Shen Yulan in his eyes, but hatred, so Shen Yulan might have really distorted the truth of the matter in order to provoke her.
Wen Yanci also admitted that he noticed her because she looked like that woman in the photo.
Lin Xuqiu's heart kept sinking. Was that woman really just a stranger they met once as Wen Yanci said?
This made Lin Xuqiu feel terrified. Even though Wen Yanci repeatedly emphasized that he only loved her, he was influenced by that woman in every way. He had Shen Yulan first, and then she.
So does her situation count as a successful substitute?
What should she do if that woman appears again?
Will she be "kicked out" again without any suspense, just like when Lin Xi returned in her previous life?
Could it be that the punishment she received in her previous life was not enough, so God allowed her to be reborn again to continue to be punished?
During this period, under the gentleness and doting of Wen Yanci, she fell deeply in love with this man, and her memories were filled with every bit of their love.
So after knowing these "truths", her heart felt like it was being cut by a blunt knife, and the pain was unbearable.
Perhaps at the moment of her rebirth, she should have divorced and lived another life, so that she wouldn't have to fall into the pain she is in now.
She didn't know what kind of mentality she should have when facing Wen Yanci next. It was undeniable that she loved this man very much, but now this love was mixed with resentment.
She once wanted to stay with this man for the rest of her life, but now this idea is beginning to waver...
The mystery of the "stand-in" was like a thorn stuck in her throat, which she couldn't pull out or swallow, and it made her extremely uncomfortable.
However, she had no way to verify the images in the "dream", and this doubt would always bother her.
She didn't know whether the woman who killed her while driving a Lamborghini while drunk in her previous life was Wen Yanci's future wife?
In her previous life, after she had a car accident, was the driver punished by law?
Did Wen Yanci shield the driver who caused the accident?
The two huge stones of "substitute" and "dream" weighed on her heart, making it hard for her to breathe. She didn't know what to do.
At this moment, she thought of Liu Ruyi, who had recently divorced Huo Siming and hid her pregnancy from everyone and moved to Shencheng to settle down.
Lin Xuqiu suddenly wanted to escape from all this with her baby, just like Liu Ruyi.
But she quickly rejected this unrealistic idea. Her company and career were here, so how could she give up so easily?
She has been with Wen Yanci for so long and has a certain understanding of this man.
Although Wen Yanci almost obeyed her in everything, she would never forget the man's cruelty and determination in preventing her from investing in Orange Records.
Lin Xuqiu knew very well that Wen Yanci had never been a gentle person. He was domineering and paranoid in nature. However, Lin Xuqiu rarely disobeyed him, so the two of them were so loving and harmonious.
Once Wen Yanci knew that she was planning to take the baby away, he would probably keep a closer eye on her and restrict her freedom.
The more I thought about it, the more upset I became. I had no idea what to do next.
Lin Xuqiu opened her sore eyes, which were lifeless. However, due to the ups and downs of her emotions and the drowsiness brought by pregnancy, she was now physically and mentally exhausted and fell into a coma again.
Wen Yanci had been waiting outside the ward and had not left.
It was not until three o'clock in the morning that he tiptoed into the ward, fearing to wake the sleeping woman.
Wen Yanci walked to Lin Xuqiu's bedside, looked down at her, and couldn't help but reach out to touch her slightly red eyes, but the back of his hand touched a cold and wet area. Only then did he realize that the pillow under the woman's eyes was wet.
Wen Yanci felt a slight pain in his heart. He gently lifted the woman's head with one hand, carefully pulled out the wet pillow, quickly replaced it with a clean pillow next to it, and then gently put her head down.
The whole process was done very carefully, for fear of waking up Lin Xuqiu who had finally fallen asleep.
