Chapter 164: Going for an induced abortion tomorrow
Pei Jingyan paused while reading the document and looked up at the other party, "Chen Lai is feeling unwell?"
"Yeah." Looking at Pei Jingyan's reaction, the vice president was a little confused, "You don't know?"
Pei Jingyan couldn't help but frown.
Shen Lai didn't mention this to him at all yesterday.
Pei Jingyan put down the document and asked, "What's going on?"
When he asked this, the boss had to answer truthfully, "Wan Shilan said that his wife suddenly vomited while eating yesterday and then went to the hospital."
Pei Jingyan's eyebrows twitched heavily, "Vomited?"
The boss nodded. "It seems he said he had a stomachache."
Pei Jingyan couldn't help but think of Shen Lai's sudden dry heaves while eating yesterday, and her abnormal behavior of not letting him touch her yesterday.
At this moment, a bold idea flashed through Pei Jingyan's mind.
In the evening, Pei Jingyan finished work early and returned home.
I heard from Butler Sun that Shen Lai went to Wu Qi's place.
He came into the room and his eyes fell on yesterday's bedside table.
Yesterday, Shen Lai secretly took medicine without his knowledge. He thought she had a stomachache, so he was too lazy to expose her.
It now seems that these medicines are not for treating stomach problems at all.
Pei Jingyan walked to the bedside table, opened the drawer in front of him, and saw several medicine bottles.
Perhaps because they were worried about being discovered, the labels on the bottles were torn off.
Pei Jingyan took photos of each one and sent them to his assistant, "Go and help me find out what these medicines are."
It was almost ten o'clock when Shen Lai returned from Wu Qi's place.
She returned to the room and found it pitch black. She turned on the wall light. The moment the light came on, she was frightened by Pei Jingyan who was sitting beside the bed.
"You scared me to death, why didn't you turn on the light?"
Shen Lai touched his chest and spoke with a tone of anger.
Pei Jingyan stared at her face and suddenly said, "Chen Lai, are you hiding something from me?"
Chen Lai paused and turned to meet Pei Jingyan's bottomless eyes, in which something was surging.
Shen Lai's heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason, but his expression remained calm. "What are you talking about?"
Pei Jingyan didn't say anything, but threw the thing in his hand onto the bed, making a series of clanging sounds.
Shen Lai lowered her head and saw that the medicine bottle she had placed in the bedside table had been taken out at some point.
Looking at Pei Jingyan's gloomy expression, she couldn't help swallowing.
Pei Jingyan's voice was cold: "I've asked my assistant to check, these are medicines to protect the fetus."
Shen Lai was pregnant and had been hiding it from herself.
If he hadn't noticed something was wrong, would Shen Lai have planned to wait until the child was born before telling him?
Pei Jingyan asked word by word, "Why didn't you tell me you were pregnant?"
Seeing that the matter could no longer be concealed, Shen Lai took a deep breath and said, "If I tell you, you will definitely ask me to abort the child."
She didn't want to end the child's life like this. Even if she really had to abort it, it had to be her decision.
A glimmer flashed across Pei Jingyan's eyes, "So that's why you kept it a secret from me?"
Chen Lai's silence was tantamount to his agreement.
Pei Jingyan took a deep breath and said, "Chen Lai, we don't want this child. Let's get rid of it."
Shen Lai suddenly opened his eyes wide.
Although she had long guessed that Pei Jingyan would not want this child, she still felt heartbroken when he actually said it.
After all, this is their child.
"I won't fight." Shen Lai almost squeezed out the voice from between his teeth, "This is my child, why do you say you don't want it?"
Pei Jingyan's face tensed. "I am also the child's biological father. I also have the right to decide."
Seeing that Pei Jingyan had no intention of negotiating, Shen Lai also got angry, "Anyway, I just want to give birth."
Pei Jingyan's breathing became heavy, and his voice was covered with a layer of coldness, "Don't you want to live anymore?"
Chen Lai said stubbornly: "Last time it was an accident. Now Bai Hansui is in jail and Tong Miaoling is half dead. Who would attack me again?"
Pei Jingyan's cold voice concealed something, "Then can you guarantee that no other accidents will happen?"
Shen Lai blurted out, “Aren’t you still here?”
The air suddenly became quiet, as if something heavy was washed away by these words.
Shen Lai slowed down his tone and said, "Just give birth to this one, and I won't give birth to any more, okay?"
Pei Jingyan said in a cold tone, "Don't even think about it."
Shen Lai was also angry when he heard this attitude without negotiation. Other husbands would like their wives to have more children, but Pei Jingyan did the opposite.
"Anyway, I'm going to give birth. No matter what you say, I won't abort the child."
Pei Jingyan couldn't understand why Chen Lai suddenly changed her mind. She was the one who said she was afraid of pain before, and now she was the one who insisted on having a baby.
"Anyway, I'll accompany you to the hospital for an induced abortion tomorrow." Pei Jingyan said firmly, "Having Xia Xia in our lives is enough."
Shen Lai was a little exasperated, "Pei Jingyan, if you dare to force me, don't even think about me paying attention to you anymore, you can do whatever you want!"
After saying that, she wrapped herself in the quilt and turned over angrily, leaving only her head exposed.
Pei Jingyan looked at Chen Lai's back and tightened his lips.
Because of this incident, the two of them were in a cold war for the rest of the time.
Even Pei Chuxia noticed that something was wrong in the atmosphere between them.
"Mom, did you have a fight with Dad?"
When Chen Lai went to the kindergarten to pick up Pei Chuxia that day, she suddenly said this when she got in the car.
In the past, her parents would come to the kindergarten together to pick her up after school, but now her father hasn't shown up for a long time.
Shen Lai paused, looking at Pei Chuxia's sullen expression, she slowed down her tone and comforted her: "How could that be, Dad is just too busy recently, it will be fine after a while."
Pei Chuxia looked at Shen Lai with her big dark eyes, "Really?"
Shen Lai smiled and touched Pei Chuxia's head, "Of course it's true, when did mom lie to you?"
Pei Chuxia's little face finally showed a smile.
The next second, the car suddenly shook violently, as if it was hit hard by something from the outside.
At the same time, Pei Jingyan was on his way home from get off work.
He looked at the message Pei Chuxia sent on his phone half an hour ago using the username "Little Genius", and said in a baby voice, "Dad, will you come to pick me up from kindergarten today?"
Thinking that he had not gone to the kindergarten to pick up Pei Chuxia for several days, Pei Jingyan was silent for a moment and asked the driver to turn around and go to the kindergarten.
After a while, the car passed a bend and the driver in front suddenly said, "Mr. Pei, there seems to be a car accident up ahead. The road is blocked."
Pei Jingyan's brows furrowed slightly. He looked out the window and saw a lot of people gathered at the intersection ahead.
Just then, Pei Jingyan noticed that the black nanny car in front looked a little familiar.
Looking closely, it turned out to be the family car.
Pei Jingyan's face suddenly changed, and when he came to his senses, he had already opened the car door and got out.
