The next day.
Mao hour.
Li Xia's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her sleepy peach blossom eyes.
She raised her hand subconsciously.
The movement startled Qi Heng who was in a light sleep.
"Ali, are you awake?" He raised his head from the edge of the couch and asked softly, "Are you hungry? What do you want to eat? I'll go prepare it."
Li Xia fluttered her long raven-feather eyelashes, "Liaochen?"
She blinked and rubbed her eyes.
Li Xia looked up at the tall and handsome man in front of her, her eyes moving as she sized him up from head to toe.
When she saw the brocade robe and scarf on Qi Heng's head, she was a little surprised and said, "You..."
Li Xia raised her hand and pointed to the top of his head.
There was a flash of doubt in her eyes.
Why isn’t Lechen wearing a monk’s robe and is he covering his bald head?
"Oh, by the way, yesterday..."
Li Xia belatedly remembered what happened yesterday.
She remembered that she destroyed Chu Ziyu's tools.
Qi Heng took advantage of the situation and held Li Xia's soft hand, his rough fingertips caressing the delicate and smooth skin of her palm, "Ali, I have returned to the secular world, and I am no longer in the mortal world."
"What did you say? You left the monastery?!"
Li Xia opened her eyes wide, her face full of surprise.
Lechen actually returned to secular life?
Is it because of her?
“Squeak—”
"My wife is awake now, so drink this bowl of pregnancy-preserving medicine while it's still hot."
While Li Xia was stunned, the female doctor pushed open the partition door of the medical clinic with the medicine.
"Pregnancy-maintaining medicine?" Li Xia came back to her senses in an instant. She raised her hand and pointed at her face. "For me?"
The female doctor nodded, "Yes, my wife has been pregnant for more than two months. She had her period yesterday because of the miscarriage. She needs to stay in bed for half a month and rest until the fetus is firmly established before she can get up and move around. During this period, my wife must take miscarriage-stabilizing medicine every day to ensure the safety of the fetus."
"More than two months..."
Li Xia lowered her eyelids, and her eyelashes trembled slightly.
That's not...
She seemed to have thought of something and her body shook.
"Madam, pregnancy-preserving medicine..."
"I don't want to drink!" Li Xia struggled to get up from the couch. Her eyes were slightly red, and her soft voice was sharp: "I want to see Chu Ziyu, where is he?"
There was a gleam of resentment in her eyes.
"Ali, don't get excited, take care of yourself."
Qi Heng hugged the emotional Li Xia and comforted her softly.
He raised his cold phoenix eyes, looked at the female doctor and said, "Doctor, thank you for your help. Please put the medicine aside first."
The female doctor frowned, she didn't know what happened between them.
She is a doctor, and her only duty is to save lives and heal the wounded.
As for the patient's family affairs, she has no right and no desire to interfere.
As the saying goes.
Even an honest judge cannot judge family affairs.
She doesn't have the ability to solve things that even the officials can't solve.
"Okay." The female doctor put the medicine bowl on the table. "Let me make it clear in advance that if you damage anything in my clinic, you will have to pay for it. So take it easy when you two are letting your temper out."
After the doctor finished speaking, he turned and left the cubicle.
"Liaochen, tell me, where is Chu Ziyu?" Li Xia reached out and grabbed Qi Heng's collar, looking up and asking.
Qi Heng's eyebrows flickered.
He didn't understand why Li Xia was so persistent in finding Chu Ziyu.
For a moment, Qi Heng couldn't make up his mind, not knowing whether he should tell her the news of Chu Ziyu's death.
Although Chu Ziyou deserved it.
But they are cousins after all, and they are related by blood.
"Ali, drink the medicine first, and then I'll tell you."
Qi Heng wanted to coax Li Xia into taking the pregnancy-preserving medicine first.
Li Xia shook her head, "Please help me change it into abortion pills."
"Li Xia, you don't want this child?" Qi Heng's face was solemn.
It wasn't enough that she left without saying goodbye, now she doesn't even want his child.
What is he to her?
Qi Heng felt a sharp pain in his heart.
"Liaochen, I can't have it."
Li Xia bit her lower lip and lowered her eyes to look at her belly.
Baby, don’t blame mom for being cruel.
Mom can't have you.
A hot tear slid down the corner of Li Xia's eye and dripped onto the back of Qi Heng's hand.
Qi Heng's back stiffened.
He looked at the tearful little face in front of him and sighed, "Forget it, if you really don't want a child, then let's not have one."
Anyway, everyone in the palace knew that he had a hidden illness.
Before he met Li Xia, he had never thought about having a relationship with another woman, let alone expecting a child.
The reason why he was happy.
Just because the pregnant person is Ali.
Because it was their child, he had expectations.
The child can regress.
It doesn't matter if she doesn't want it.
It was his destiny to be childless in this life, and he had already accepted it.
But Li Xia couldn't let go.
No kids, just her.
"We?" Li Xia blinked, with unfallen tears still hanging on her thick eyelashes, making her look even more delicate.
She tilted her head back, her eyes full of confusion.
What does he mean?
The child is hers, what does it have to do with him?
Qi Heng discussed with Li Xia: "Ali, you are too weak now, can you postpone the abortion?" His palm was placed on her lower abdomen, "Be good and don't let your mother suffer."
The fetus in Li Xia's belly moved suddenly as if it had sensed something.
"Hmm~"
"What's wrong?"
Qi Heng heard Li Xia's voice and asked nervously.
"It...it seems to move." Li Xia frowned, with a complicated expression.
Baby, do you know that mommy can’t keep you and are you saying goodbye to mommy?
Qi Heng's eyes lit up, "Really? Let me hear it." He bent down and put his ear against Li Xia's lower abdomen.
"Liao Le Chen..."
Li Xia's eyes flickered and her face looked embarrassed.
Although they had the most intimate relationship, it happened when they were both passionate and obsessed.
All the ambiguity between them came to an abrupt end when she left Lianhua Temple.
When the female doctor came in to deliver the medicine, she told her the month of the baby in her belly.
It is impossible for Liaochen not to know that the time this child spent with them did not match.
They only had that one time in the cave on a rainy night.
If it is his, the fetus is more than two months old.
Li Xia looked at Qi Heng's heartfelt joy and was full of doubts.
He acted as if he was the father of the baby in her belly.
"Ali, I heard it, it's really moving!"
Qi Heng felt the magic of life and found it incredible.
It's so small, yet so powerful.
It must be a kid.
Li Xia looked up at Qi Heng, took a deep breath and said, "Liaochen, don't you have anything to ask me?"
She was ready to confess.
When she left, she thought about never seeing him again in this life or the next.
Now that fate has brought them together again, she will no longer hide it.
"What?" Qi Heng looked into Li Xia's sparkling peach blossom eyes.
"Don't you want to know the origins of this child?"
