Yu Sheng looked at the milk in the glass in her hand, and the image of Xiao Cheng's deathly pale face flashed through her mind.
She could abandon everything—her marriage with Gu Ye, her mother-daughter relationship with Yu Jing—but she could never abandon Xiao Cheng!
He was her life; if she abandoned him, could she still live?
Even without Yu Sheng saying these words, Sheng Ning knew they were just empty words. She glanced at Yu Sheng's belly again and said with a sullen face, "Logically speaking, I should congratulate you on your pregnancy, but when I think about how these two children are Gu Zha's, I just can't bring myself to say those two words."
"It's alright, this wasn't exactly a happy occasion to begin with."
Sheng Ning felt a headache for Yu Sheng when she thought about all the things that would happen after the child was born. She felt that Yu Sheng must have thought about those things, so she didn't say anything to bother her.
She didn't mention the child again, but instead asked, "Why did you suddenly want to ask me to go shopping? You're not a big fan of shopping."
"I'm going to the Maldives with Gu Ye tomorrow, and I'd like you to come with me to buy some summer clothes, swimming sunscreen, and stuff like that," Yu Sheng said.
Why did you suddenly decide to go to the Maldives?
“I’m experiencing some pregnancy anxiety, and Gu is planning to take me out to relax.”
Sheng Ning opened her mouth, but for a moment she didn't know what to say. She turned her head away and wiped away her tears.
Yu Sheng noticed her movements and asked, "Why are you crying?"
"It's nothing, you sit here and I'll go buy it for you. Running back and forth must be tiring."
After Sheng Ning finished speaking, she got up and left without waiting for Yu Sheng to speak.
Yu Sheng felt extremely guilty as she watched her walk forward while wiping away tears, and she almost had the urge to tell her the truth.
But I managed to hold back!
Watching her retreating figure, a voice filled with apology whispered in her heart, "I'm sorry, Ningning, I didn't mean to deceive you. I'll tell you the truth when the time is right..."
After Sheng Ning left, Yu Sheng quickly composed herself and dialed Shang Yan's number.
At that moment, Shang Yan was in a high-level meeting and was quite surprised to see Yu Sheng calling.
He glanced at his phone a few times, then decisively got up and left the meeting room, leaving a group of executives looking at each other in bewilderment.
Shang Yan stared intently at his phone screen, trying to figure out why Yu Sheng had called. But no matter how clever he was, he couldn't understand why she had suddenly called him.
Afraid that Yu Sheng on the other end of the phone would be waiting too long, he didn't think twice, took a deep breath, and pressed the answer button.
"Hello?"
When Yu Sheng heard Shang Yan's cold voice coming through the receiver, she tensed up and said helplessly, "Brother, it's me."
"I know, what's the matter?" Shang Yan deliberately feigned a cold demeanor.
When he asked that, Yu Sheng didn't know how to answer for a moment, and after hesitating, she said, "I resigned."
Shang Yan quickly realized that Gu Ye must have asked her to resign, and he also realized why she was calling. But he pretended not to understand and said, "You resigned and what are you telling me?"
Yu Sheng pursed her lips and said cautiously, "Our team just signed a contract with your company. If I resign now, it will actually affect the cooperation between the two companies."
"Since you know why you should resign, why did you still do so?"
Shang Yan's rebuke made Yu Sheng's heart pound wildly.
She nervously clenched her hands, wanting to tell Shang Yan that she was pregnant.
But because it was a lie, he felt guilty and couldn't say it.
He stammered, "Because...because...I..."
"What?"
Hearing Shang Yan's persistent questioning, Yu Sheng closed her eyes and, with a reckless attitude, declared, "I'm pregnant!"
As Shang Yan listened to Yu Sheng's lies, the corners of his lips unconsciously turned up.
He pretended not to care and said, "Really?"
