Chapter 5: Miscarriage

Jin Yu slept very uneasily this time.

In her dream, she felt a hand grabbing her heart tightly, and her whole body was pressed by something, making her feel uncomfortable.

She wanted to open her eyes, but her eyelids were heavy. She tried many times but failed every time.

When she woke up, the only feeling she had was backache.

She was staring at the ceiling without any emotion. She hadn't come to her senses yet and was in a daze.

After her thoughts returned to Qingming, she sorted herself out for a while, staring at the unfamiliar ceiling, before she suddenly realized that this was not her home.

The bed she slept in was not her own bed.

Just when she was about to use this reason to explain why she had back pain, she turned her head and saw an extremely handsome face - her bad-tempered spouse.

It was at this moment that his eyes suddenly widened.

"ah--"

She screamed for less than two seconds before her mouth was covered by a big hand.

The man, with frizzy hair, squinted his eyes and scolded impatiently, "What are you howling about so early in the morning!"

It was when he covered his mouth that Jin Yu finally understood the cause of his back pain.

This bad-tempered mixed-race girl also had a bad sleeping posture, because at this moment, his legs were still pressing on her.

No wonder she felt so restless last night.

They stared at each other for more than a minute before Meng Jinyan slowly came to his senses. Seeing that she was covering her mouth with his hand and her face was flushed due to lack of oxygen, he relented and let go.

After letting go, he didn't explain anything, he just threw off the quilt and stood up quickly.

Jin Yu took a few breaths and regained some strength before asking in confusion:

"Why...why are you in my bed?"

Hearing this, the man turned around and corrected her in a neutral tone, "This is my bed."

Jin Yu was stunned and silent for a while, then suddenly thought of something, "So do you sleepwalk at night?"

Meng Jinyan: “…”

When their eyes met, he sneered, "You really are good at making excuses for me. This is my house, my bed, I can sleep on it whenever I want."

Jin Yu: “…”

After saying that, he went straight into the bathroom to wash up.

Jin Yu sat on the bed, raised her hand and gently rubbed her thigh. She sincerely felt that if she had slept on the sofa last night, she would not feel so uncomfortable this morning.

My waist and legs hurt.

When she got up from the bed, she staggered and almost fell. When she stood up by holding on to the bedside table, she was already thinking about how to tell him tactfully that she would sleep on the sofa from now on.

If it really doesn't work, she can actually sleep on the floor. In short, she just doesn't have to sleep with him.

By the time the two of them went downstairs to eat, it was already half an hour later. Not long after she sat down, the housekeeper served her soup very attentively, "Madam, this pigeon soup was specially ordered by the old lady, please try it."

To be honest, Jin Yu wasn't very interested in the soup so early in the morning, but she also knew what the old lady cared about, so even if she didn't like it in her heart, she still thanked him obediently.

"Uncle Meng, you've worked hard."

After drinking a few sips despite the discomfort, she took small bites of the sponge cake. When she was spotted by Meng Jinyan who was drinking coffee, she started to criticize him again, "At this speed, I'm afraid you won't be able to finish it until noon."

Hearing this, Jin Yu's face flushed.

She developed the habit of eating slowly when she was young. When her parents were still alive, they spoiled her and indulged her. She chewed her food slowly and every time she ate, the food would be cold.

But they were very patient with her and would reheat her food whenever it became lukewarm.

This habit has been with her for more than twenty years, and it has never changed even after she and her grandmother moved to her uncle's house.

The reason why she never changed was simple, because she was not qualified to eat with them. Every time she ate, it was their leftovers. Since it was leftovers, no one cared whether she ate fast or slow.

But now, she has come to the Meng family, and after he pointed out her problems, she must change.

While speeding up her chewing, she responded, "I'll finish it quickly and won't waste your time."

Hearing this, Meng Jinyan sneered, "You're the best."

By the time he finished his meal, there was still half of the sponge cake on her plate. Afraid that he would get impatient waiting, Jin Yu simply swallowed the sponge cake with the soup.

Seeing her eyes red from swallowing, the housekeeper couldn't help but say, "Young Madam, eat slowly."

Jin Yu smiled in his direction and said sheepishly, "I'm already very slow."

In this world, apart from her parents, grandmother and younger brother who tolerate her slow eating time, no one else will wait for her.

She and Meng Jinyan were just marriage partners, and she was clear about her position.

During this period, Meng Jinyan looked at his watch several times.

In addition to getting the marriage certificate with her today, he also had an appointment to discuss something.

But seeing how fast she was eating, he figured he might have to let her go.

He kept looking at his watch, how could Jinyu not know that? As she quickened her meal, she thought and said, "If you have something to do, go first. Didn't grandma say that we can get the marriage certificate at home? I can go back and get the household registration booklet by myself."

When their eyes met, Meng Jinyan weighed the pros and cons in his mind and stood up decisively, "Okay, I'll go first."

Jin Yu smiled and nodded, "Okay."

After watching him leave, she stared at the sponge cake in the bowl and lost all her appetite. To her, when eating became a matter of racing against time, it lost its flavor.

But in order not to waste food, she forced herself to finish it.

As soon as I put down my chopsticks, a phone number with the note "Nurse Aunt Zhang" rang.

Aunt Zhang was the caregiver she hired for her younger brother Jinqi.

She received a call early in the morning, fearing that something had happened. She hurriedly answered the call and was about to ask if there was anything wrong when she heard the crying voice of the woman on the other end, "Miss Jin, please come to the hospital as soon as possible. Your aunt wants to kill your brother. She is forcibly stopping your brother's ventilator..."

Hearing this, Jin Yu's eyes went dark.

My breathing also became rapid.

She had no idea what "ventilator" meant to her brother.

It was because she understood it so clearly that she suddenly became flustered. “Wait a minute, I’ll be right over.”

As she ran out, she completely forgot that she was pregnant. Her movements were very fast. It was the housekeeper who first noticed something was wrong and hurriedly grabbed her, "Madam, where are you going? I'll arrange for a driver to take you there."

Jin Yu's eyes were red. "First People's Hospital."

"Okay, don't worry, I'll arrange it now."

On the way to the hospital, Aunt Zhang called again. Jin Yu's heart was in his throat. "Aunt Zhang, how is the situation now? You and the doctor..."

However, before she could finish her words, a familiar and proud female voice rang out, "Silly girl, you are scared now, what were you doing before? I am telling you this now, if you don't get the certificate from Boss Huang today, your brother and your grandmother will never spend a penny of our Lin family's money again."

The voice belonged to her powerful aunt Zhang Ru.

Hearing these words, Jin Yu's face turned pale and his stomach began to hurt. As he covered his stomach, the woman's voice rang out again, "Also, even if you are really pregnant, Boss Huang doesn't care. After all, he told us in person that he likes to play with pregnant women the most. It's your blessing that he likes you."

Because of the high speed of the car and Zhang Ru's words, Jin Yu couldn't hold back his disgust and vomited.

The driver saw her pale face in the rearview mirror and immediately called Meng Jinyan with a panicked tone.

"Master Yan, something bad has happened. The young mistress has vomited."

Meng Jinyan, who had just arrived at the company, stopped unbuttoning his shirt and was about to sit down when he heard this. The man's face was extremely cold.

"Vomited?"

The driver saw Jin Yu still holding her stomach, and all sorts of bad images suddenly appeared in front of him. He became extremely flustered, "Master Yan, Master... Grandma is still holding her stomach, her face is pale, it seems..."

The driver's words continued incoherently. Meng Jinyan lost all patience. He picked up the car key and left the office. "What does it look like?"

"It looks like I'm going to have a miscarriage."

When Jin Yu heard what the driver said, his eyes went dark.

She knows best what her own physical condition is.

She had a stomachache, not a tummy ache.

Vomiting is caused by eating too fast in the morning and indigestion.

It really has nothing to do with miscarriage.

But Meng Jinyan on the other end of the phone took it seriously. She could clearly hear his quick steps from the speakerphone.

As she raised her hand to wipe away the stain, she said with a pale face, "Mr. Meng, can you do me... a favor?"
