After the meal, noticing that Gong Ning seemed to have something to say to Shen Yuchen, Gong Xiaojing glanced at Shen Yuchen's face, patted Gong Ning's head, told her to go home early, and then went back with Lu Weixi.
On the way back, Lu Weixi mentioned a few more words, "Honey, don't you think that little girl looks a lot like our A-Yun, especially in her eyes and eyebrows?"
Gong Xiaojing gripped the steering wheel. "She does look like you, but she looks more like you."
"What?" Lu Weixi asked in confusion, instinctively thinking she had misheard.
"That girl named Shen Yuchen and you when you were young are just like two peas in a pod."
When he first saw Shen Yuchen, he almost thought he was seeing Lu Weixi when she was eighteen or nineteen years old.
Gong Ning's appearance is a combination of Gong Xiaojing and Lu Weixi, but she looks more like her father. Among her facial features, her eyebrows and eyes are the most similar to Lu Weixi's. The little girl named Shen Yuchen is even more similar to Lu Weixi than A Yun and Xiang Ru. They are almost like they were made from the same mold.
Is it really such a coincidence that these two people, who are not related, have such a close relationship?
Clearly, Lu Weixi had also thought of this.
After a long silence, she cautiously began, "Honey, I swear to God, I haven't cheated on you. I'm innocent..."
Gong Xiaojing: "..."
Seeing that he didn't speak, Lu Weixi pursed her lips, "I did play around a bit wildly when I was young, but I also had my limits. Plus, with you being so vigilant, how could I possibly have a chance?"
"..."
"Gong Xiaojing, what do you mean by not saying anything? You don't believe me, do you?"
Gong Xiaojing's eyes narrowed slightly behind his wire-rimmed glasses, a hint of a smile flashing across them. "So eager to explain? Did you really do something bad behind my back?"
Lu Weixi snorted, "What bad things could I possibly do? It's just that an old classmate still has feelings for me and called me a few days ago!"
The smile in his eyes faltered slightly. "You answered it?"
Lu Weixi touched her nose and shouted fiercely, "No!"
He gave a sullen laugh.

Gong Ning found a quiet coffee shop, ordered a milk for Shen Yuchen, paused, and then said, "You... are pregnant."
Shen Yuchen's lips curled slightly. "Yes, it's been two months."
"Two months? She's already showing after only two months?"
That protruding belly means she's at least four months pregnant, right?
They are twins.
Gong Ning's eyes widened slightly. "Who did this?"
"..."
Shen Yuchen's fingertips paused slightly, a fleeting hint of bitterness flashing in her eyes. She looked down at the milk tea cup in her hand, "Feng Ming."
"you……"
Gong Ning's throat was a little dry. She carefully studied the expression on her face and cautiously asked, "Did he take advantage of you and run away? Is he denying everything now?"
"no."
"Yu Chen, tell me the truth, did he force you?"
Shen Yuchen didn't speak again, but when she suddenly heard Gong Ning say that, a few traces of sadness and weariness flashed in her eyes.
Gong Ning keenly noticed this, took a sip of coffee, and silently gritted her teeth, "Should I have someone tie you up and bring you back?"
"Xiao Ning, the things between him and me can't be explained in a few words. I kept the child willingly, and it has nothing to do with him..."
"Does he know?"
"He only found out shortly after, right after I found out I was pregnant, and I went abroad. I don't know where he got the news from..."
Gong Ning was slightly taken aback. "So you don't want to see him now?"
“I don’t know either,” Shen Yuchen shook her head, her face showing a hint of confusion and helplessness.
She felt the anticipation and joy of becoming a mother for the first time, but more than that, she felt helpless and panicked. She was not actually prepared to be a mother, but she could not bring herself to kill the little life that was connected to her by blood.
She has no family left in this world.
The baby in her womb came unexpectedly, yet it felt like a gift from heaven.
"But, Xiao Ning, I want to keep this child..."
Gong Ning's fingers curled slightly. "Are you ready? You're a child yourself. Have you thought about whether you'll take good care of them after they're born? If not, what's the point of keeping them?" Her words were sharp. "You don't know whether you want to see Feng Ming or not. You really want to keep the children, but have you thought about the future? I don't care what happens between you and Feng Ming, but do you want your children to be born without a father?"
“If you want to keep them, you need to create a complete and good family for the children, so they can grow up healthy, carefree, and happy. That’s what you should be thinking about now.” Gong Ning suddenly lowered her head, suppressing the soreness in her eyes. “If you can’t give them these things, will the children’s personalities be well-rounded in the future? Won’t they feel lost when they see other children playing games with their parents?”
After saying these words, Gong Ning suddenly came to her senses and realized that she had been too excited.
Gong Ning has always avoided talking about children. She likes children very much, but when she thinks about this topic, she subconsciously thinks of herself.
She couldn't imagine what would happen if her child followed in her footsteps because of her mistakes, carelessness, or other reasons.
At that time, would a life destined for tragedy still begin?
"Sorry, I got a little excited, you..."
Shen Yuchen stared at her, somewhat stunned, and murmured, "I never even thought of any of this..."
Gong Ning's eyes trembled slightly. She took a deep breath and changed the subject, "Yu Chen, do you have a place to stay now? You're unfamiliar with this place. This is one of my properties. You... take good care of yourself during your pregnancy. If you need anything, just give me a call and I'll help you get it."
As Gong Ning spoke, she sent her the address, saying, "The password is 3*****. I'll take you there."
Shen Yuchen opened her mouth as if to refuse, but then remembered what Gong Ning had just said, so she nodded and did not refuse again.
The two left the coffee shop with their bags, only to encounter a weathered-looking Feng Ming at the door. He looked rather unwell, and even appeared somewhat unkempt and haggard.
Seeing the two of them come out, he didn't say anything, but stared at Shen Yuchen, his eyes seemingly filled with a few traces of grievance and unspeakable frustration.
They remained in this silent standoff for a few seconds.
Shen Yuchen sighed inwardly and turned to Gong Ning, "Xiao Ning, let him take me. I have something to discuss with him."
Gong Ning didn't say anything, just nodded and turned to leave.
She was in a bad mood, so much so that even her silhouette carried a hint of indescribable loneliness.
Shen Yuchen's heart skipped a beat, a pang of heartache rising within her.
Is she so sensitive about the topic of children because of some bad past experiences?
Feng Ming took Shen Yuchen back to his hotel. As soon as they entered, he pinned her against the door, buried his head in the crook of her neck, and whispered, "Yuchen, I was wrong. Please don't be angry anymore, okay?"
