Chapter 2 Unexpected Pregnancy
Yu Li, rubbing her head which was still spinning, gestured for her best friend to calm down.
"Don't worry, his looks and physique are definitely at the level of a male model, and his temperament surpasses that of a bunch of domineering CEOs. It's just that his profession is very special. I made an agreement with him to keep our marriage a secret and not reveal his identity to anyone."
"I'm sorry, darling, a person should keep their word. But you're my best friend. When he comes back from his business trip in a couple of days, I'll personally introduce him to you."
"Even though he's my legal husband now, if my best friend doesn't approve, I'll break up with him immediately!"
As she spoke, Yu Li held up three fingers and excitedly made a vow.
Qi Xi exclaimed, "What kind of job is this? It's all so mysterious. Anyone who didn't know better would think it's some kind of spy from another country. It doesn't seem very reliable."
Yu Li smiled and said, "Speaking of which, my husband even shares the same surname as you."
Qi Xi immediately perked up her ears. "Also surnamed Qi? Let me check if there are any other wealthy families with the surname Qi in China. I don't think there are any. So, could he be a penniless guy working in a brothel?"
“Honey, you can’t let yourself be blinded by beauty and jump into a fire pit. As the saying goes, it’s better to cry in a BMW than to laugh on the back of a bicycle.”
"Not only are you suffering, but the baby in your belly is suffering too!"
Qi Xi then began to blame herself: "It's all my fault. If I hadn't dragged you to the club that day and made you drink so much, you wouldn't have gone to the wrong room, and you wouldn't have been slept with by a poor guy, gotten pregnant unexpectedly, and been forced to be tied to him!"
Qi Xi already felt very guilty about this.
This story begins a month ago.
Qi Xi originally lived the life of a typical office worker, working long hours every day.
One day, several people who looked very wealthy came to her door, saying that she was a child of the Qi family and that she had been switched at birth in the hospital.
And this Qi family is none other than the Qi family of Tianhe Group, the richest family in Beijing's social circle.
Qi Xi went from being an ordinary person to a true heiress overnight, just like a dream.
Although it sounds fantastical, this is a ceiling that ordinary people can never reach even if they work hard their whole lives, so of course it's a cause for great celebration.
To celebrate, Yu Li and Qi Xi went to a bar to dance after having a big meal.
As a result, they had too much fun and drank quite a bit of alcohol.
The two unsteady individuals found a nearby hotel. While Qi Xi was still paying at the front desk, Yu Li shakily went upstairs first.
Then, he accidentally went into the wrong room and, under the influence of alcohol, slept with the wrong person.
Heaven knows that when Yu Li woke up the next morning, her back ached and her body still bore the ambiguous marks left from the night's fierce battle.
Then, turning his head, he saw that handsome, young, and promising face that he often saw on television, gesturing confidently at the world's affairs—
Qi Chenyan.
Yu Li thought she was dreaming, so she pinched him hard, making him wince in pain.
It's not a dream, she slept with a well-known spokesperson!
This is even less likely than winning the lottery!
But indeed, she encountered something so absurd.
In that instant, countless thoughts flashed through Yu Li's mind.
Will it be like those melodramatic CEO romance novels, where Qi Chenyan thinks she's a scheming woman trying to climb into his bed, and then angrily throws a wad of banknotes in her face and tells her to get lost?
Or perhaps, Qi Chenyan is a very popular and influential person. If the paparazzi captured last night's accident and it got out, Qi Chenyan might be forced to marry her in order to salvage his image.
Generally, storylines like this tend to focus on the abuse of women.
She was not only misunderstood by the male lead, but also physically and emotionally abused, even to the point of having her heart and liver ripped out.
To avoid being physically and mentally abused, Yu Li put on her clothes and ran away in a panic before Qi Chenyan woke up.
Yu Li had been on tenterhooks for a few days, but everything remained calm, as if the accident was just a minor incident in her life.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. Given Qi Chenyan's status, he could probably sleep with many women if he wanted to. She was just an insignificant little fish in a pond of thousands.
It's she who's worrying unnecessarily.
The work at the TV station was already busy, and Yu Li had been competing for the position of female anchor recently, so she quickly forgot about that night of passion.
Until Yu Li realized that she hadn't had her period for a month.
She suddenly remembered that she was too shaken that day and hadn't taken any contraceptive measures afterward.
With a mix of trepidation and excitement, Yu Li bought a pregnancy test at the supermarket.
When Yu Li saw the two red lines above, her mind went blank.
She was still not giving up, so she secretly went to the hospital for another checkup.
But the results still showed that she was four weeks pregnant.
Holding the test report, Yu Li stood bewildered at the door of the clinic.
The first thought that popped into her head was to get rid of the child.
Although it's cruel, her career has finally gotten on track.
The position of female anchor is even more precious and hard to come by; if you miss this opportunity, you don't know when you'll get another chance.
Moreover, if she were to have the child, given her current financial situation, she simply wouldn't be able to afford to raise both the child and her grandmother.
So after much deliberation, Yu Li decided to terminate the pregnancy.
She consulted a doctor about abortion procedures and even scheduled the abortion surgery.
Qi Xi respected all her decisions and made an appointment to accompany her to have an abortion that day.
Unexpectedly, there was a knock on her door the day before the surgery.
The man she thought she would never see again appeared at her doorstep, dressed in a suit and exuding confidence.
"I am Qi Chenyan. A month ago, I was drugged and accidentally had a relationship with you. I'm sorry that I only found you now."
“I have two and a half hours before I board the plane. If you’re willing, we can get our marriage certificate now. I will take responsibility for you and our child.”
Yu Li hesitated for three minutes before finally going to the Civil Affairs Bureau with Qi Chenyan.

Pulling herself out of her thoughts, Yu Li sighed, took out the black card, and stuffed it into Qi Xi's hand.
"It was given to me by my cheap husband. It's a black card with no spending limit, and he lets me spend it however I want."
Qi Xi held up the black card and examined it several times under the light, then instantly changed her expression.
"This husband is great, I can date him. As for keeping his work confidential, as long as he's not a freeloader and has money, it's not a problem."
"I've snagged a rich and handsome husband for free! Looks like we had a good drink that day!"
This speed of turning on someone is comparable to an X-ray.
"Enough about me. Did your trip to the Qi family to meet your relatives go smoothly this morning? How did the Qi family treat you? And what about that fake heiress? Are they going to send her back?"
They were supposed to recognize each other a month ago, but the Qi family said something came up and they had to postpone it for a few days.
As they kept pushing it along, a month passed.
In fact, Yu Li was not very satisfied with the Qi family's attitude.
They were the ones who came to claim their biological daughter; they seemed very excited at the time.
But in the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed, and it's hard to see any sincerity in the attempt to reunite them.
"Lili, you'd never guess who the fake heiress I swapped with is."
