Chapter 681 The fetus could not be saved... (Revealed)
This child is Qi Yue's.
Shen Anning felt that fate was really playing a joke on her.
She went to that hotel that night to say goodbye to the past, but she ended up running into Qi Yue there.
Now everything seems to have returned to square one.
Not only did she fail to say goodbye to the past, she also unexpectedly became pregnant with Qi Yue's child.
Shen Qingshu looked at her daughter and saw that she did not show much joy after learning that she was pregnant, which made her worried.
"Xiao Ning, do you not want this child?"
Shen Anning snapped out of her daze and quickly shook her head, "I didn't mean that..."
She has already lost a child, and this is the child she wants!
“Okay, since you’ve decided to keep the baby, there are some things I need to make clear to you,” Shen Qingshu said. “You were unconscious for three days. During those three days, Qi Yue stayed outside the ward every day, but Nian’an and your father wouldn’t let him in.”
Shen Anning was a little confused. "How...how did he know?"
"On New Year's Eve, when we learned you were pregnant, we all guessed the child was Qi Yue's. Nian'an got angry and went to find Qi Yue, beating him up. Later, when your Uncle Han found out, he whipped Qi Yue and made him kneel in the ancestral hall until dawn. After dawn, your Uncle Han brought Qi Yue to the hospital. Your father didn't give your Uncle Han and Qi Yue a good look. This time, your Uncle Han didn't confront your father directly, only saying that as long as we were willing, they would meet any conditions. Of course, if we didn't want them to take responsibility, they wouldn't dare to say anything."
Shen Anning listened, completely bewildered.
"So that means..." Shen Anning closed her eyes and took a deep breath, "that our elders now know I'm pregnant?"
Shen Qingshu nodded, "What can your Uncle Han possibly hide? Your Aunt Ming was furious when she found out, and she insisted on coming to the hospital. You know her health condition, so I'll have your Aunt Qiao go to Mingyuan to comfort her."
The more Shen Anning listened, the more desperate she became.
She closed her eyes briefly. "Mom, if I told you this was truly an accident, would you believe me?"
Shen Qingshu touched her face. "Mom believes in you, but things have come to this point. Since the child has decided to have it, we inevitably have to consider many aspects, right?"
Shen Anning nodded, "I understand. Although I am fully capable of raising the child on my own, now that both families know about the child's existence, if I decide to keep the child, then we need to discuss the child's upbringing in advance."
“Yes,” Shen Qingshu said. “Your maternal grandfather, Jin, came to visit during the three days you were unconscious.”
Upon hearing this, Shen Anning's heart skipped a beat, "Then what about Grandpa...?"
Shen Qingshu pursed her lips, holding back her tears, and looked at her with heartache in her eyes, "Xiao Ning, you've been wronged."
Shen Anning understood from that simple sentence.
Her secret has been discovered.
"Mom, I'm sorry, I didn't know at the time. I didn't tell you later because I was afraid you would be sad, I..."
"Mom understands you. Don't worry, we'll keep this a secret for you. Qi Yue's side doesn't know yet. As for whether or not to let him know, that's up to you."
“I don’t want him to know,” Shen Anning said. “The past is the past, and he has amnesia, so there’s no point in him knowing.”
“Okay, I’ll do whatever you say.” Shen Qingshu respected her determination and said, “Your grandfather has already given you acupuncture and prescribed some medicine to help with the pregnancy. For the next month, you will have to stay in bed and cooperate with the doctors at the hospital to help with the pregnancy. It will be very hard, so you need to be mentally prepared.”
"Mom, don't worry." Shen Anning looked at her mother with a firm expression. "I will be strong. This time, I will definitely be a strong and qualified mother!"
“Okay, Mom will be with you too. Your dad, Nian’an, and your Aunt Qiao and the others, we’re all here. No matter what happens between you and Qi Yue, remember, we will be there for you.”
"Mom, thank you!" Shen Anning looked at her mother, her nose tingling with tears. "Thank you for always being so understanding of me. I know I haven't done a good job, and I've caused you a lot of worry these past few years..."
"Silly girl, let's not talk about this anymore." Shen Qingshu wiped away her tears. "Qi Yue is still waiting outside the door. Do you want to see him?"
Shen Anning thought for a moment and nodded, "I'd better explain this to him myself."
"Then Mom will go out and call him now."
“Okay.” Shen Anning nodded obediently, watching her mother get up and walk out.
The door opened and then closed.
Shen Anning turned her head, staring at the ceiling, her hand under the covers touching her lower abdomen, a strange power rapidly spreading through her heart.
Five years ago, she lost a child she never had a chance to know about, and she didn't tell anyone except Chu Yuke about it.
After Luo Dongjin left, she collapsed on the ground with abdominal pain and bleeding. It was Chu Yuke, who came out looking for her, who found her and took her to the hospital.
But it was too late; the fetus could not be saved.
The fetus was already 12 weeks old and fully formed. Miscarriage is very harmful to the body, and she also had one fallopian tube removed due to complications.
When she woke up after the surgery and heard the doctor's verdict, she was too exhausted to cry anymore.
Chu Yuke took care of Xiaoyuezi for her. She kept it a secret from all her relatives and friends. When Chu Yuke went to class, she would hide in an empty room and cry secretly under the covers. She would also often wake up in the middle of the night from dreams filled with the cries of a baby!
She realized something was wrong when she crossed the street one day and unconsciously ran a red light. Even the piercing sound of a car horn couldn't wake her numb mind.
Chu Yuke pulled her to the side of the road, punched her hard, and cursed loudly.
The pain in her arm made her realize belatedly what stupid thing she had done.
At that moment, Shen Anning knew she couldn't continue living like this in a daze; she needed to save herself.
So she went to Tibet and visited the temples.
A ritual was performed for the child, and prayer lamps were lit, wishing him to return to heaven and find a good mother again.
Before returning, she drew lots.
She took the divination slips to the abbot for interpretation. The abbot glanced at the slips and took one from the corresponding number.
It's a blank signature.
The abbot shook his head and told her to go back and live a good life, as everything was arranged by fate.
Shen Anning pressed for an answer.
The abbot said: "Do not ask, do not ask, there is no need to ask."
Upon returning from Tibet, Shen Anning chose to take the train.
On the train, she accidentally bumped into a girl, whose wig fell off, revealing a bald head.
Shen Anning later learned that the girl had cancer and didn't have much time left. While she still had the strength, she and her friends made a trip to Tibet.
The three-day, two-night train journey was filled with warmth from the enthusiastic cancer girl and her friends. They were around her age, and they could talk about many things. Shen Anning chatted and played cards with them along the way, and the time passed quickly.
Upon arriving in the capital, Shen Anning was the first to disembark.
As she stood on the platform looking at the girl waving to her from inside the train, the girl's radiant smile and the sudden flow of blood from her nose struck Shen Anning like a slap in the face.
After that day, Shen Anning packed up all her pain and regrets and locked them away in the deepest part of her heart.
Back on campus, she had regained her determination and was working hard towards the life goals she had set long ago.
Over the course of five years, she worked tirelessly to become a better version of herself. After graduation, she returned to Beicheng as planned, took out her savings from New Year's money accumulated since childhood, and started a law firm with Chu Yuke.
Her life is gradually getting back on track. The pain in her heart hasn't disappeared, but it no longer affects her life.
Shen Anning once thought that she would live her whole life like this.
Perhaps one day I'll meet a suitable man like Wen Yusen, and with both sets of parents approving, we can naturally date and naturally get married...
Unfortunately, a suitable man like Wen Yusen appeared, but she and Qi Yue became entangled by chance.
This time, it's a small life, a living little life that can't be easily erased or pretended never to exist, even without memories.
Knock knock.
There was a knock on the ward door.
Shen Anning snapped out of her thoughts and turned to look at the doorway.
The door opened, and Qi Yue, dressed in all black, walked in from outside.
The door closed, and he stood by it for a moment before walking towards Shen Anning…
