Chapter 71 Pregnancy
But everything came too fast! Song Li realized later that she hadn't had her period for two months. From the time she was discharged from the hospital until today, she and He Qian had sex almost every night...
She had been using contraception sporadically over the years, and she hadn't gotten pregnant yet. She vaguely regretted it and couldn't let it go.
Combined with the recent series of physical reactions, vomiting, drowsiness, and increased appetite...
Song Li felt horrified when he thought of all these things!
She couldn't wait even a second, so she went to the hospital alone to register. The long wait made her lose her patience little by little.
The moment she got the results, she was petrified!
She was indeed pregnant, at 8 weeks of intrauterine gestation.
"The embryo is developing normally and I can hear the fetal heartbeat. Please come back at the end of the month for an ultrasound..."
The doctor was still talking, but Song Li could no longer hear him. She only felt that every nerve in her body was tense!
She was pregnant? How could she be pregnant? How could she be pregnant with He Qian's child! He was an unforgivable villain, how could she be pregnant with his child!
Song Li seemed to have his soul sucked out of him, leaving only his body as he walked out of the clinic dejectedly, weaving through the crowd as if he were climbing over mountains and ridges...
Unconsciously, she left the hospital gate. The sunlight blinded her, and she instantly lost her bearings. She stood there, looking around, the whole world spinning like a dizzy ball! It kept spinning, and in this vibrant world, she was the only one without any color...
After Ling Puyan received the news that she was in the hospital, he rushed over quickly. In the parking lot, he saw Song Li standing motionless at the gate from a distance.
He didn't even care about his back injury and ran towards her with big strides!
Song Li felt a gust of wind blowing on his face, and a wall of people appeared in front of him, their tall figures blocking the dazzling light.
Ling Puyan stood in front of her, his rapid breathing and heartbeat had no time to calm down, and he saw the uneasy expression between her eyebrows. He didn't know what had happened to make her so dispirited!
I looked down and saw that she was holding a piece of paper in her hand. When I pulled it away, I found the words "intrauterine pregnancy"!
Ling Puyan's thoughts froze for a moment. She was pregnant...
Song Li still hadn't "discovered" that the person so close to her was Ling Puyan. She seemed to be still in her own world... This child came too suddenly, and she didn't know what to do? He Qian had always warned her to use contraception, and she was also very careful about it, so how could she be pregnant?
If He Qian knew about this, she and her child would die miserably, right?
Ling Puyan stared at the lines of words on the report, the edges of the paper were wrinkled and torn, and the veins on his forehead bulged from biting his cheeks!
This is undoubtedly a huge test for him!
Ling Puyan has been preparing to tell her the fact that Qin Xiang is still alive and the truth about the fire in the laboratory in the next few days!
He wanted to tell her that he would take her away from the abyss that was He Qian's heart, that he would protect her and her family, and that he would keep her safe for the rest of her life...
But, this sudden child!
He knew very well what this child meant to Song Li. Putting aside He Qian's feelings for her, Song Li had been tortured for thirteen years. She should also be entangled in the arrival of this child, right?
Song Li was a little tired from standing, his legs were weak, and he swayed a few times...
Ling Puyan reached out to support her, and found her arm was ice-cold. In this scorching summer, in this 36-degree temperature outside, her body was ice-cold...
"Song Li."
Song Li heard someone calling her name and looked up at the person in front of her again. But she didn't know whether it was because the face was backlit or because she had lost all her energy, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't see clearly...
Never mind, was she hallucinating? Song Li lowered her head again, walked around the wall, and continued to move forward. Even if she had no purpose, she had to move forward, right?
Ling Puyan felt distressed. Did her current reaction mean she had lost her mind and judgment?
She was already like this, did he still have to force her to accept another crueler fact? Was it hard enough to see her find out she was pregnant? Did he have to tell her everything? In fact, all the torture she had endured for more than ten years was actually suffering on Qin Xiang's behalf!
He couldn't do it, he was afraid that she would collapse, he couldn't bear it!
Song Li kept walking like this, and Ling Puyan followed him two steps behind.
Coming out of the hospital, I walked one street, two streets...
From ten o'clock until noon, the whole street was filled with the aroma of food...
Ling Puyan's waist injury could no longer bear the consequences, and he didn't want her to be depressed aimlessly, so he reached out and held her!
Song Li was suddenly stopped. He looked around for a moment and didn't realize that his left hand was held by someone.
Ling Puyan took another step forward, "Aren't your legs tired?"
Song Li looked down at his legs. Are he tired?
Ling Puyan was helpless about her behavior, but he couldn't hit her or scold her, so he could only temporarily hold her back and prevent her from moving. If she continued walking, he really wouldn't be able to follow her!
After staying there for a minute or two, Song Li finally reacted slightly and felt someone pulling his hand.
"What are you thinking about? Song Li, tell me what you are thinking about." Ling Puyan bent down, faced her, looked into her eyes, not wanting to miss any of her expressions!
He wanted to know clearly whether she wanted to keep the child! If not, he would accompany her to face it together. If she wanted to keep the child, he would respect her decision.
Song Li frowned. What was she thinking? She was thinking... He Qian hated her so much that he would definitely not tolerate this child. In his eyes, there was only room for Qin Xiang and the unborn child!
He has tortured her badly enough, and she has lost everything she deserves. Her family and friends have all been implicated by her. Aren't these so many painful lessons enough for her to reflect on herself?
He Qian would definitely kill this child! He hated her so much! He Qian said that she owed him three lives!
If the child is born, he will torture himself and put all the pain on the child, and she will also feel worse than death!
Abort the child? But without the child, how could she live in this world?
She's shrinking, she's afraid...
"Song Li!" Ling Puyan shook her shoulders, hoping she would wake up, "Look at me!"
Song Li weakly lifted her eyelids and looked into his deep pupils, her thoughts gradually coming back to her mind. "Mr. Ling, is that you?"
Ling Puyan was like a deflated balloon. His heart was broken when he saw her soft grin!
With that smile, he seemed to see the pain she had gone through: watching her father and best friend die in front of her, having her promising future and youth ruined, being pushed into prostitution and forced to socialize and flatter, running around and working hard to support her family, being humiliated, kidnapped, and having her kidneys dug out...
It's obvious that his fate is being strangled and he is in such a miserable state, so why is his first reaction to disguise when he senses someone outside?
"Song Li, tell me what you think."
"Why are you here?"
"Tell me what you think!"
"What a coincidence, are you doing business here?"
"Forget it, let's go eat first!" Ling Puyan was completely defeated!
Song Li looked at her watch. Half past twelve? She looked around. Groups of people were everywhere. Many people were gathered in front of shops, waiting for their turn to eat or to get takeout.
Ling Puyan covered his lower back with one hand, the tingling sensation between his bones becoming stronger and stronger. "Let's find a place to sit for a while and eat first."
Song Li had no mood to eat, "You go, I won't go, I'll go back first."
Ling Puyan grabbed her hand and stopped her from leaving. He took out his phone and called, "I'm at Pingshuihui Plaza, on the roadside in front of the Xiaoyao Pavilion store. Drive over here."
At this time, three or five young men came towards us, chatting and laughing, "Why are you eating barbecue in the middle of the day? Are you so greedy?"
"The barbecue at this restaurant is delicious! Especially the lamb eyes!"
"It goes perfectly with his new product, Lemon Jasmine Tripe Tea! Haha."
“…”
Song Li saw that the man was holding a bunch of seven or eight black, spherical objects in his hand. Were they sheep eyes? Grilled sheep eyes? Were those eyes all in his mouth?
She couldn't stand it anymore, and she felt nauseous. She squatted on the side of the road and vomited...
"Song Li!" Ling Puyan didn't pay attention to what the passersby said, so she naturally didn't expect her sudden reaction. "What's wrong with you?"
Song Li felt so nauseous and uncomfortable that she vomited until tears came out!
Ling Puyan squatted down with her, his face gloomy, and put his hand along her back... Song Li's pregnancy was a torment for her, and it was even more of a wasting battle for him, and he was helpless.
Song Li covered his mouth, closed his eyes, and tried to stop breathing to stop the nausea.
She remembered that she vomited violently when she saw the "Oyster Latte" on the blackboard that afternoon. The child must have been in her body at that time, right?
She stroked her belly. Was that the baby's first experience of the world? Then her sense of taste returned. Was it good luck brought by the baby?
It turns out that the value of every moment is impossible to judge until it becomes a memory. When you are in great pain, recalling this moment can still bring a little sweetness.
Ling Puyan's mind was in a mess. If there hadn't been a fire in the laboratory, or if Qin Xiang hadn't faked her death and put the blame on her, or if He Qian hadn't believed that message, her life today would be completely different!
Who wouldn’t be overjoyed when a new life comes to their family? But she was “wandering” on the streets because of her pregnancy, feeling lost and helpless. When she came to her senses, she could only squat on the side of the road and vomit alone!
It shouldn't be like this! She should be dazzling and brilliant! She's so outstanding, why doesn't she get any applause!
In just these two hours, Ling Puyan almost forgot his original intention. He hoped that she would get back on track, pursue her dreams, and fulfill her ambitions. That was what she should be like! That was the real Song Li!
However, he couldn't tell her the truth. Her emotions were in jeopardy. Should he tell her everything and make the gap bigger?
