When she first saw the two red lines on the pregnancy test, she thought she was seeing things. Pregnant? How could that be? She and Zheng Heping had already...
No, she did have relationships with men other than Zheng Heping; that man was An Jingfeng.
In other words, An Jingfeng is the father of the child in her belly.
This is terrifying.
Fearing the pregnancy test might be faulty, she took half an hour off to go to the hospital.
The result was exactly the same as the result of her pregnancy test: she was pregnant. Unbeknownst to her, a little life had been growing in her womb for more than a month.
If it weren't for the greasy smell that afternoon, which made her feel nauseous and want to vomit, and the fact that her body was indeed feeling a bit off, she wouldn't have thought about being pregnant.
For many women, pregnancy is a wonderful thing, but for Jiang Moli, it wasn't.
She was torn. On one hand, she knew she couldn't keep the child; on the other hand, no matter who the father was, the child was still hers, and she couldn't bear to kill that innocent little life.
That's why her eyes were red when she got home; she had been crying all the way from the hospital.
The aroma of the food on the table continuously stimulated her sense of smell and taste, and she suddenly felt very hungry.
An Jingfeng was really considerate. Before leaving, he prepared some food for Zhenzhen, and told her to take a bath and go to bed.
She had initially worried that it wouldn't be good for Zhenzhen, a four-year-old girl, to be alone with an adult man. However, she gradually discovered that despite An Jingfeng's rough exterior, he was actually quite thoughtful and knew very well how to distinguish between men and women.
Before, Zhenzhen always needed An Jingfeng's help to bathe, but since meeting An Jingfeng, she has become completely independent.
It must be said that An Jingfeng provided tremendous help to the mother and daughter.
She picked up her chopsticks and started eating dinner. The words An Jingfeng had said before he left popped into her mind: if she dared to abort this child, he would make her pregnant again.
She was sure she hadn't misheard.
Strangely enough, Jiang Moli felt no aversion to such a threatening and utterly impolite remark. On the contrary, she felt a surge of secret joy and a sense of security.
Fortunately, besides Zheng Heping, who only brought her sadness and heartbreak, there was another man who was so good to her and Zhenzhen.
She reached out and touched her still flat stomach, a slow smile appearing on her lips.
Actually, following the path arranged by fate is not always a bad thing. As the saying goes, "After the darkest hour comes the dawn."
Even if this child came at the worst possible time, it was still Jiang Moli's child. She had a responsibility and obligation to protect him, instead of thinking of killing him while he was still in her womb.
My child, it's all my fault. I almost abandoned you. I'm so sorry. From this moment on, I will protect you. Your father is going on a long trip. When he comes back, I will introduce him to you.
The embryo growing in her lower abdomen was just a small embryo, so it naturally wouldn't give her any response. Even so, she was incredibly happy and content.
Sometime later, Zhenzhen got up and ran to the dining room. She gently placed a small hand on her stomach and asked in a childish voice, "Mommy, is there a little brother or sister in your tummy?"
Jiang Moli gently stroked her daughter's soft hair and asked, "Zhenzhen, do you like a younger brother or sister?"
Many children don't even like their own siblings, let alone siblings from the same mother, so Jiang Moli was still a little worried.
Zhenzhen opened her big, round eyes, her dark pupils blinking as she looked at Jiang Moli. "Mom, as long as you gave birth to me, I'll love you whether it's a younger brother or a younger sister."
As she spoke, she pressed her little face against Jiang Moli's belly, "Are you a little brother or a little sister? But no matter if you are a little brother or a little sister, I love you. My name is Zhenzhen. Zhen is the 'treasure' in my name because my mother said that I am her treasure. So my nickname is Zhenzhen. In the future, when you are born, your nickname will be Baobao, okay? We are both mother's children, both of us are mother's treasures."
Jiang Moli was touched by her daughter's innocent and naive words, and hugged her tightly, saying, "Zhenzhen, you will always be Mommy's most precious treasure."
Zhenzhen pouted, unhappy. "Mom, you can't be so biased, or your baby brother or sister will be angry."
Jiang Moli was amused by Zhenzhen's adorable and earnest little face. She gently pinched her cheek and said, "Alright, our lovely little Zhenzhen, don't be angry anymore. It was all Mommy's fault. Mommy said the wrong thing."
Zhenzhen looked up at Jiang Moli with a serious expression. "Mom, you said the wrong thing again. You're already carrying a little brother or sister in your tummy, so Zhenzhen is going to be the big sister. Now that she's the big sister, Zhenzhen has to take care of her little brother or sister. Mom, you shouldn't call me 'little baby' anymore. What if your little brother or sister hears that and thinks I'm not a good big sister? What if she doesn't want to play with me after she comes out of your tummy?"
Jiang Moli was both amused and exasperated by her daughter's innocent words. "Okay, Miss Zhenzhen, Mommy takes back what I just said. Mommy believes that Miss Zhenzhen will be a good sister."
Zhenzhen quickly leaned close to Jiang Moli's ear and whispered to correct her, "She will be a very good older sister. Mom, please tell your younger brother or sister again to rest assured that Zhenzhen will be a very good older sister."
Jiang Moli smiled and repeated Xiao Zhenzhen's request to her belly again, and Xiao Zhenzhen's face finally lit up with a smile.
Jiang Moli got Zhenzhen a bowl and chopsticks and told her to eat some more. When she put a shrimp dumpling in her bowl, she asked her, "Zhenzhen, how did you know that Mommy is having a little brother or sister?"
