Chapter 51

The other side.

Yang Liuyao called Lu Feng: "I probably won't be able to come back today, but you have to wait. If a doctor comes, you will come back."

"Yes."

Lu Feng said: "A medical vehicle just came in. It was parked at At the door of Yunshang's house. Why, are you giving up on Qi Ye?"

Yang Liuyao sighed: "I can't say for sure, but I can't take her with me to this event, and I can't do anything."

Lu Feng cursed: "Damn it . , So what does the big boss say after spending so much money?"

"Haha, you don't really think that this is our home court, do you?" Yang Liuyao said with a smile, "Don't worry, the big boss is actually testing it, it's okay. . Then come back first."

Finish the call to Lu Feng.

Yang Liuyao then called the big boss.

"Mr. Shang, Qi Ye said that she is pregnant. Although I don't know whether it is true or not, she has been out of our monitoring for two hours and should be unusable for the time being."

"Okay, Mr. Shang, if she really comes back, I will Let her go to the edge first and stay away from our business for the time being.

"I understand, Mr. Shang, and I will pay attention. Tomorrow's speech will be held as usual,"

she breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, she had no idea.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but the cover-up is that I always feel that Mr. Shang is inexplicably easy to talk to this time.

I still remember that when they tried to win over Qi Xiao, Mr. Shang saw that the situation was not good and asked them to give up.

——Qi

Ye’s side.

When I woke up, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.

She fell asleep last night, so when she woke up, she felt a little pain in her head.

Turn around.

Yun Shang didn't know when she woke up.

Just looking straight at her.

"I didn't run away. You don't have to stare at me like a prisoner."

Qi Ye finished his words.

Yun Shang walked into her arms again: "I'm really afraid that you will be gone as soon as I wake up. I feel like last night to today is like a dream, and it's all foggy until now."

"Xiaoye, you Aren't you leaving? "

I knew Yun Shang was clingy, but I didn't know she was so clingy.

Qi Ye rubbed his eyebrows and said, "I don't want to leave."

"But I have to leave?" Yun Shang raised her eyes.

One wet eye stared at Qi Ye.

Like a frightened kitten, it seems like it will run away at any moment.

Qi Ye lowered his head and kissed Yun Shang's forehead: "It hasn't been decided yet, but I will give you an answer soon."

Yun Shang reached out and hooked her neck, raised her head slightly, and pressed her lips against Qi Ye's lips.

In an instant, the pheromones of the two people spread out.

The sweet gardenia fragrance and the refreshing aroma of trees intertwine to create a fresh and natural new flavor.

Yun Shang gasped slightly, making Qi Ye unable to control himself.

Qi Ye gritted his teeth and restrained himself: "Shang Shang, no, it will hurt you."

Yun Shang pouted her moist red lips: "You know you love me when you have a baby?"

Why are you so disappointed?

"No."

Qi Ye quickly pecked her forehead, then stretched out his hand to touch Yun Shang's belly: "Don't bully me for not studying enough. The gadgets here are probably not as big as a bean now. Do you think I feel sorry for her? But? I know that with your current body, if there is something wrong with your son, you will also have something wrong. In short, I just feel sorry for you, Chang Shang."

"Unless you say it again!"

"Silly girl, I really feel sorry for you. It's you ."

"Then I'll come up?"

"..."

Qi Ye lay down and shook his head: "No. The doctor has been waiting at the door for a long time. Let's come in and take a look."

Found it."

Yun Shang pouted.

When Qi Ye called Yang Liuyao to lie, she called a doctor she knew.

Of course, I spent money to have people waiting at the door.

Otherwise, if Qi Ye is really exposed, she is afraid that the other party will come to retaliate against Qi Ye, let alone whether there will be further missions.

She doesn't allow anyone to hurt Qi Ye!

They were both fully dressed.

Qi Ye opened the door and welcomed the doctor in.

Qi Ye's forehead jumped when he saw the doctor.

Sure enough, Dr. Wu frowned and cursed: "Why are you? You look so red-faced, why don't you give her an inhibitor?"

It was Dr. Wu who had given her the inhibitor before.

Have they known each other for a long time?

"I don't know her."

Yun Shang came out and seemed to notice Qi Ye's doubts: "I didn't know her before. Then I went to take inhibitors. She comforted me not to do this and said it would hurt my body. And when I caught a cold, I went to Dr. Wu. Prescribing medicine, she noticed something was wrong with me, so she didn’t prescribe cold medicine for me, but asked me to carry it. Fortunately, Dr. Wu responded quickly, otherwise I’m afraid...”

I’m afraid the baby would have been gone.

Qi Ye sighed.

"You look wrong at first glance, but I'm not sure. You were not in the right state at that time. I'm afraid that if you take a blood test and test that you are pregnant, you won't be able to bear it and want to abort the child. With your current body, you only have this one child. ." Dr. Wu said unhappily.

As he spoke, he asked his assistant to prepare the medicine.

"Didn't you tell me everything? Wait, you haven't checked yet, what kind of medicine should I prescribe?" Qi Ye secretly thought something was wrong.

Then she saw the little nurse coming over and holding her arm.

"Hiss~"

Qi Ye couldn't hide: "Fuck! Why did you give me a shot of inhibitor when we met?"

If he hadn't known that Dr. Wu had saved Yun Shang and Zai's lives in disguise, Qi Ye would have jumped up and kicked them away.

"What do you think is going on? Yun Shang said she was not feeling well and asked him to come quickly, while keeping us waiting for five or six hours. You don't want to die, I still want medical ethics."

Doctor Wu finished talking to Qi Ye, and then gave Yun Shang drew blood and checked briefly: "Well, it doesn't seem to be a big problem at the moment. I'll send it to you when the blood test results come out. Qi Ye, come with me."

She stood up and pulled Qi Ye to the crook of her back. "How could you be so careless? How could you get her pregnant?"

"I didn't mean it."

After Qi Ye answered, he noticed something was wrong: "She can't get pregnant?"

Doctor Wu sighed: "It's not that she can't get pregnant. Giving birth to a child is not a good idea . A trip to hell would severely damage a healthy person, not to mention her innate deficiencies.

"Will it be dangerous?" Qi Ye clenched his fists nervously.

"From the time of pregnancy, you have to take care of her with care. You can't be angry or bump into each other. You have to be even more careful when giving birth, otherwise she may get in trouble. Not to mention after giving birth..."

Dr. Wu is also a little bit Irritated: "She herself is weak and bloodless. The fact that she has survived for so long is the result of her grandmother's careful care. Now she is risking her life for another life. Anyway, I don't recommend it."

Qi Ye took two steps back, his face pale. .

The excitement and joy of becoming a mother for the first time was washed away in this moment.

"I... can not have children."

Qi Ye said with trembling lips.

"What, it just suits your liking? I've seen a lot of Alphas like you. After playing with it, you don't want to take responsibility. Anyway, it's not your body that's hurt..."

"No."

Qi Ye raised his eyes and interrupted Doctor Wu: "I will definitely marry her. But, I don't have to have a child. If this child will hurt her, I would rather not..."

"Ono."

A clear voice sounded.

Qi Ye turned around.

She saw Yun Shang looking at her with tears in her eyes: "Although I don't know whether what you just said is true or not...but I will not give up this child."

Qi Ye took three steps and two steps to pick up Yun Shang, and turned around and said: "I'm sorry, Dr. Wu, I think I need to communicate with Changshang again."

She carried Yunshang back to the room and carefully placed her on the sofa.

"Shang Shang, listen to me. You are just pregnant now. If you don't want this child now, it will cause the least harm to your body..."

"But Xiaoye."

Yun Shang's eyes were wet: "I want this child."

She Holding Qi Ye's waist: "I was going to let you go, and I also wanted to let myself go. But since God has given me this gift and let me know your thoughts, I will not give up. "

But your body..."

"I know my body. In fact, Dr. Wu is trying to scare you. As long as I take good care of myself now, I can still give birth safely, right?"

Yun Shang turned around and asked Dr. Wu.

Dr. Wu snorted coldly: "Yes, the premise is that she needs to be well cared for. But look at her...how does she look responsible?"

"Dr. Wu, you also know that my physique makes it difficult to get pregnant. If I give up, This one, I'm afraid... I still want to give it a try." Yun Shang lowered his eyes.

Doctor Wu is still not optimistic about Qi Ye: "She has never cherished you from the beginning. When did you come to the hospital, were you not covered in injuries? It got better later, but, when you come again, you are either looking haggard or thin. Your body has become lighter. You said that if she was good to you, how could you be so weak now? Shouldn't you be nourished by love like a delicate flower

? Can't refute it either.

It’s all self-inflicted.

For such a long time, she had argued and quarreled with Yun Shang, and she had never really been nice to Yun Shang.

I suddenly had a child.

Even though he was happy, he was still unprepared.

With her current status, can she really take care of Yun Shang?

What would Yun Shang do if she went back undercover?

Especially this may be Yun Shang's only child.

She has learned how paranoid Yun Shang is.

If he insisted on giving up her child, it would be better to kill her outright now.

Inner torment.

It was even more painful than when I was considering whether to be an undercover agent or not.

"No matter what, I will never give up on this child."

Yun Shang held Qi Ye's hand and said with determination: "Xiaoye, you are not qualified to make decisions for me!"

"But the child is not the most important thing to me. ." Qi Ziye said in pain.

She knew very well how poor Yun Shang's physical condition was, even if he was marked, he would faint.

Not to mention that giving birth to a child was such an energy-consuming thing. For her, it was like giving up half her life.

She has already felt sorry for Yun Shang.

These days of alienation have left Yun Shang mentally and physically exhausted, and her already slender body has become even thinner.

"Chang Shang, to me, you are the most important." Qi Yanye said painfully.

"Xiaoye."

Yun Shang took a deep breath, her expression was soft, but her eyes were firm: "You are not qualified to make decisions for me!"

Xiaoye is her light.

She would be happy to give birth to a child for her own light, even if it cost her her life.

Qi Ye opened his mouth not knowing what to say.

This is Yunshang.

He looks like a weak little rabbit, but in fact he is extremely strong on the inside.

She is also paranoid. As long as she is determined about something, let alone the south wall, even the corner of the south wall cannot stop her.

"Shang Shang..." Qi Ye still felt distressed.

"Stop talking, I won't give up."

Yun Shang looked at Qi Ye with burning eyes, and then said word by word: "Because, this is your child!"

Every word, Qi Ye was struck with anger. pain.

Because it was her child, Yun Shang knew that she was in poor health and still had to give birth to this child.

Her love is determined and passionate.

Although sometimes it seems unscrupulous, it is not because of the deep persistence of love.

Qi Ye suddenly felt that he was not worthy of Yun Shang at all.

"Shang Shang, it's not worth it, it's really not worth it. I'm not good enough, and I really don't deserve your love."

It has always been Yun Shang who took the initiative, and she has not made any efforts for the relationship between the two. .

Just because of the undercover incident, Yun Shang was hurt again.

When they meet again, it's unfair for Yun Shang to break her defense because of the bond of a child.

"Chang Shang, don't hurt yourself. You can't do it for anyone."

"I think it's worth it."

Yun Shang confessed from the heart. She held Qi Ye's face with both hands and traced her eyebrows with her thumbs: "I I'll give you time to deal with things you think are important. At the same time, please respect my decision, okay?"

Tears fell from the corners of Qi Ye's eyes. She hugged Yun Shang and said with a choked voice: "I'm sorry, yes. I'm such a bastard. I'm sorry, Chang Shang. I will make a decision quickly. This time, I will never let you suffer alone."

She carried Yun Shang into the bedroom: "Be obedient, you go first. Rest, I'm not leaving today. I'm waiting for a call. I'll talk to Dr. Wu first."

Qi Ye went out and chatted with Dr. Wu about Yun Shang's health.

Premature birth, frail, allergic to many drugs, she may need a cesarean section when giving birth, and she may not even be able to have a pain-free operation...

Qi Yeguang broke out in a cold sweat and felt a chill down his spine just thinking about it.

"She knows it all. When she called me in the middle of the night, I told her the pros and cons. But she still has no intention of giving up. You should advise her. Aborting the child now will be harmful to her body. But compared to when she gave birth,

tears welled up in Qi Ye's eyes . She was carefree, and she was not one to show her sadness

even when she was hurt . If Dr. Wu was not here today, she would have cried. "I understand, and I will communicate with her properly. "Qi Ye said with a heavy heart. Doctor Wu said: "Okay, I will mix some inhibitors and put them on. Omega will be uneasy during pregnancy, so it will be very clingy, and it will not be able to control pheromones, and it may enter the fever period at any time. But her body can't be too aggressive now, so you need to take a few more suppressants. "Call me? " " Qi Ye's eyelashes trembled, but he didn't refute, but asked carefully: "What's the use? Doctor Wu glanced at her and said coolly: "She is only allowed to torment you, but you are not allowed to torment her. " But try your best to stop her! " Qi Ye couldn't laugh or cry. He had never taken the initiative in the first place. Now, he has no advantage at all. He gave the other party a sweet handle. Qi Ye put away the inhibitor and sent Doctor Wu away. Back to the bedroom, Yun Shang She didn't sleep either. She stared at the door with wide eyes. When she saw Qi Ye coming, her eyes flickered. "I won't leave. " Even if I have to leave, I will tell you. " Qi Ye went to the bedside and took Yun Shang's hand, trying to persuade her to get rid of the child, but she couldn't say anything. At the same time, another thought arose in her heart, and she said impatiently: "Why don't you get rid of the baby? The call comes. After saying that, she immediately explained: "The call from the Economic Investigation Detachment, my aunt said that she has clues there and is considering letting me not be an undercover agent, so I am waiting for the result. " " "oh. " Yun Shang's eyelashes trembled and lowered. "I really didn't lie to you. " "I know. Yun Shang said calmly: " It's just that I have known since I was a child that if there are no expectations, there will be no disappointment." So before the results came out, I thought you would leave the next second. She reached out and hugged Qi Ye's waist: " So every moment must be cherished as the last second before we part." " "I suddenly remembered the lyrics of a song, a quite old song. "Qi Ye said. "What lyrics? " Yun Shang was curious. You must know that Qi Ye's singing was not only tone-deaf, but simply out of tune. But Qi Ye still hummed: "Treat every day as if it is the end of the world and fall in love. Every minute and second is so beautiful that tears fall. " This is the song Qi Ye liked to listen to when he was a child. Yun Shang also hummed along: "I don't care whether others think good or bad, as long as you are brave and follow me. " Qi Ye followed and hummed: "Love, there is no need to deliberately arrange it. " "Kiss and hug each other based on your feelings, and you will be very happy. "Enjoy the present, don't be afraid of getting hurt when you have fun. " " Many miracles can only exist if we believe in them..." "Dead... um~" As soon as Yun Shang said this, Qi Ye turned his head and kissed her. The faint fragrance of gardenia spread. Qi Ye stopped in time . She pecked her lips lightly again: "Don't believe the lyrics. Where does love come from after death? We have to enjoy the present moment." " Qi Ye smiled and touched her hair, his expression was gentler than ever before. There were tears in Yun Shang's eyes but he continued to hum: "Don't cry, smile is not happy, the heart of destroying the universe is still there. " "You have to love at the end of the road. If it's not extremely romantic, it won't be happy." The hair will be white as snow, the soil will bury it, and the thoughts will not decay. " Her voice became smaller and smaller. Maybe it was because she was uncomfortable and couldn't sleep well during pregnancy, so she was a little tired today. Or maybe it was because Qi Ye was by her side today, and Yun Shang felt at ease. She fell asleep humming, But he still held Qi Ye in his arms. Qi Ye waited impatiently for the call from the road team or Jiao Zhi.

But because Yun Shang was by her side, she felt at ease and didn't want to cause more trouble, so she endured it.

At five or six o'clock in the afternoon, Qi Ye was awakened by the sound of a phone call.

But it belongs to his cell phone, not Yunshang's.

She thought it was Yang Liuyao urging her to go back. When she picked it up, she saw it was an unknown number.

She picked up immediately: "Hello."

"Qi Ye, this is Jiao Yu."

"Jiao Zhi."

Qi Ye was ecstatic.

If this unknown number can call in, it means that his signal is blocked and cannot be detected by Yang Liuyao.

She said urgently: "Jiao Zhi, my aunt must have contacted you. Can I stop being an undercover agent?"

"Girl, why are you so anxious and don't want to be a policeman?"

"No."

Qi Ye He looked back at Yun Shang, who was sleeping soundly, closed the door and went out.

She was sitting on the sofa in the living room and still whispered: "The girl I like is pregnant. I wonder if my aunt has told you. She is in very bad health. I want to be with her."

There was a brief silence on Jiao Yu's side . , I think I wanted to persuade Qi Ye to continue working as an undercover agent.

"Jiao Zhi."

Qi Ye continued: "I wanted to be an undercover agent before, partly because I wanted to share some of the burden for my little aunt, and mostly because I wanted to find out what happened to my mother and my mother."

"But today, Although it only took half a day, I have thought about it. No matter what I do now, my mother and my mother are no longer here. "

But Chang Shang and the child are my future. She is not in good health. " I also want to communicate with her when she is pregnant, but now is not the time."

"Jiao Zhi, I know that giving up halfway is not a good thing, but I want to think about the future more than the past."

"So, I want to end the undercover now."

Qi Ye said solemnly.

It's completely different from the playful and smiling face in the past.

Even on the phone, Jiao Zhi could feel Qi Ye's concern for Yunshang.

"I understand."

Jiao Yu said: "Your aunt has indeed given us some very useful clues. If everything goes well, we will be able to close the net soon. If there are any clues about your mother and mother, Qi Xiao will also Continue to investigate."

"It's a pity that we can't continue to cooperate with you, but we wish you the best, Qi Ye. But even if you don't go undercover now, you won't be able to resume your studies for a while..."

"It doesn't matter. ."

Qi Ye interrupted Jiao Yu: "I just want to stay with Chang Shang."

It would be better if she could be persuaded to give up the child.

Of course it's not because she doesn't want to be responsible, but because giving birth to a child is too harmful to Yun Shang's body.

"I understand."

Jiao Yu said: "We will process your file as soon as possible. I wish you happiness."

Qi Ye breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you Jiao Zhi for taking care of you during this period. I hope we will have better cooperation in the future."

Hang up. After calling the phone, Qi Ye returned to the bedroom.

Yun Shang seemed to have just gotten up, half sitting up and trying to get out of bed.

When he heard the door being opened, he turned around, with a touch of uneasiness and panic in his eyes.

The moment he saw Qi Ye again, the frost suddenly melted and turned into a pool of spring water.

"You're still here."

"I told you I wouldn't leave."

Qi Ye walked over and touched her head: "Would you like to sleep for a while?"

"No."

Yun Shang shook her head slightly: "I'm hungry."

"What do you want to eat? ? I will do it for you?" Qi Ye said with a smile.

Yun Shang curled her lips: "With your skills..."

"Okay, let's go out to eat. But before eating, I have to go home and get something." Qi Ye said.

"What?" Yun Shang was confused: "I remember, didn't you take all your things to your classmates?"

"Haha."

Qi Ye smiled and moved Yun Shang's head and said, "It seems that you pay attention to me. But Some things can't be taken away at will."

"Then I'll go with you."

Qi Ye rummaged through the cabinets for a long time and scratched his head in confusion: "No, I remember it's in this drawer. "

What?"

"Hukou." "What do

you want a household registration for?

"

"

Huh?"

It was Yun Shang's turn to be confused: "Don't be an undercover agent?"

"Yes, I went to answer the phone before you woke up. You agreed that I wouldn't be an undercover agent. I don't have to go back." But my file still needs some time, so now we have plenty of time to get married."

Yun Shang was surprised.

It turns out that the best way to tame a little wolfdog is to give her a puppy?

But this is too fast.

She thought that Qi Ye would refuse to obey and fight to the death.

I also thought that Qi Ye might be too stubborn and compromise.

But she didn't expect that she would directly look for the household registration book?

"No, this matter...at least...let me let my sister know."

Yun Shang said with a somewhat unnatural expression.

Mainly because it all happened so fast.

Not even twenty-four hours had passed since she found out she was pregnant.

Although it was something I was looking forward to, it still felt like a dream.

"Hey, you are still smart. This household registration book is in the hands of my sister. I must call her. By the way, where is your household registration book? Is grandma coming back at night? Let's go and find grandma to ask for it."

"Not coming back."

Yun Shang lightly stomped her feet.

"Besides..."

She pursed her lips: "I haven't thought about it yet."

"???"

Qi Ye was shocked: "Why, now it's your turn to eat everything and don't want to be responsible? What's in your belly?" You're cheating on me, and you

still want to default on the debt?" "Why... why did you complain first? It's obvious that you have been treating me badly... Anyway, I didn't think about it and regretted it.

" He turned away in anger.

This stupid dog is too lazy to care.

I was having sex in the morning, but now that I think about it, it’s rare to see her in a hurry, so how could she agree so easily.

Qi Ye was also confused. It was obviously her who forced him to get married, so why was she blaming herself now?

Uncertain.

But she didn't want to make Yunshang angry, so she had to compromise first.

"Okay, let's go eat first."

"I want to eat barbecue." "

No problem."

"You grill."

"Okay!"

Qi Ye found a nearby self-service barbecue restaurant.

After paying the fee, I went to choose the dishes, and when I came back, the small stove was just served.

"Ugh~"

Yun Shang covered her mouth with an ugly expression, turned around and vomited.

"Can't you smell the smoke?"

Qi Ye thought for a moment: "Then you sit at the table by the door and I'll bake it for you."

Yun Shang shook her head, got up and went to the bathroom.

The charcoal in the small stove was already burning vigorously.

Qi Ye put the meat skewers on top, greased one side and grilled it until it changed color, and then changed the other side.

Bake until one side is slightly brown, brush with oil and seasoning, and grill the other side.

Then continue to flip and bake until both sides are browned, then place on a plate.

After waiting for a long time, Yun Shang came back.

"I was afraid that you would be tired of eating, so I brought you some lettuce to roll up and eat. By the way, I ordered milk tea and it will be here in a minute."

Qi Ye said carefully.

Yun Shang nodded and took a bite of the barbecue, but felt no appetite again.

"Too dry? It's okay. I also ordered the bottom of the pot. If you want to eat barbecue, you can have barbecue. If you don't want to eat, you can have shabu-shabu." Qi Ye said thoughtfully.

Yun Shang suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

In the past, Qi Ye was always at odds with himself.

But ever since I found out I was pregnant, I've been acting like a jerk.

Is it because of yourself or because of your children?

"Don't think blindly."

Qi Ye thought of Dr. Wu's words. Seeing Yun Shang's ugly face, he knew that she was becoming sensitive again.

"If I really didn't care about you, I wouldn't care about your life or death. As long as I don't come back, I won't be in love at all, and I won't be threatened by you."

She smiled: "So in the final analysis, it's because I care about you, so you All the plans can be successful, not because of the child."

"Really?"

Yun Shang raised his eyes and said doubtfully, "But you would never mention the marriage before."

"Haha"

Qi Ye put the roasted garlic again . The mushroom was handed to Yun Shang: "This is true."

Yun Shang's face changed.

Just listen to Qi Ye say: "You also know that it is dangerous for me to do that. If I get married, you will be my biggest weakness, so of course I have to avoid you. But I am not an irresponsible person. But having said that, I must It’s not that I like you, even if you press my head, I may not marry you.”

“Shang Shang, I really like you,” Qi Ye said seriously.

Yun Shang's expression softened, she took two mouthfuls and then vomited again.

It wasn't until the sour plum milk tea ordered by Qi Ye arrived. She took two sips and felt a little better in her stomach before eating some.

"You eat first, I'll call my sister."

Qi Ye took out his cell phone and clicked on it for a long time, his palms became sweaty.

"How about waiting?"

"No, no, no need."

Qi Ye scratched his head and said, "I made my sister very angry before, but now I don't know if she will answer my call. And I still have to talk to her. I feel like my sister will beat me to death if I want the household registration book."

"You can do it later," Yun Shang said, "I haven't thought about it anyway."

Upon

hearing that Yun Shang didn't think about it, Qi Yeye was afraid of Yun. Suddenly, Chang's mind suddenly changed and he said, "This matter needs to be struck while the iron is hot. Anyway, if you extend your head, it will be a knife, and if you shrink your head, it will be a knife. You can't dodge the knife. Go ahead, Oli!"

Puff -

Yun Chang laughed.

When I listened to Qi Ye's speech, I felt that this person suddenly became serious. I thought that after this guy's separation, the two parties' business would improve, and how to cheat in the future would be better.

But the last sentence of Ollie gives...

well, it's still a familiar recipe for second pussy.

Yun Shang smiled while sipping her milk tea and eating the green vegetables that Qi Ye gave her in the mushroom soup hot pot.
