Chapter 1239 Pregnancy
Just then the nanny came to tell everyone that it was time to eat, so the topic was put on hold.
It's a rare occasion for the whole family to get together. We haven't had such a lively time for a long time. Moreover, after something like that happened, this dinner tonight seems more precious and warm than ever before.
After dinner, Zhao Zhixun took his son and son-in-law to the study to talk about work, so Su Xiao had the opportunity to chat with Ling Qianyu.
"You seem to have lost some weight. Have you been busy with work recently? How is your relationship with my brother?"
Ling Qianyu looked at Su Xiao's sincere and concerned expression thoughtfully, then she said hesitantly, "Well, I just had an abortion."
What!
Su Xiao was genuinely shocked and looked at Huan'er in disbelief. Needless to say, this child must be her brother's. They chatted frequently on WeChat and knew that her brother and Huan'er's relationship was developing gradually. She had also thought that it was inevitable that a single man and a single woman would have some accidents, but she had never thought that she would get pregnant.
after all……
"One time, that thing just ran out, and your brother didn't plan to continue. I pulled him aside and told him about the safe period. Later, he asked me if I wanted to buy some medicine, but I thought about it and felt that the chances were slim. I didn't expect that I would actually get pregnant." Ling Qianyu continued.
"Then why don't you give birth to the baby? My brother, since he is willing to have sex with you, it means he has decided on you. You know, he and Qu Si couldn't get to that point back then, so they thought of doing IVF."
"He doesn't know the whole thing yet."
"He...you mean, my brother didn't know you were pregnant, or even that you had an abortion?" Su Xiao was surprised again.
"Well, I didn't tell him. I didn't want to burden him, nor did I want to use this child to force him to marry me. Xiaoxiao, I'm telling you this just as a good friend. Please don't tell your brother, okay? I don't want him to feel guilty or blame himself. This was originally something I couldn't handle well, and I'm fine now. The doctor said there would be no problem with my future fertility after a follow-up examination." Ling Qianyu had a calm expression on her face, and indeed there was no resentment on her face, only a hint of regret.
Su Xiao still felt very upset, and she also thought of her grandmother.
Grandma had hoped that my brother would have a child, and later he had Yuyu. But now Yuyu was awarded to Qu Si. Although she can see him from time to time, he is not raised in the Zhao family, so it is the same as if he did not exist.
It would be such a great thing if Huan'er could give birth to another child for her brother.
Su Xiao's eyes welled up as she thought about it. After a while, she wiped away her tears and nodded to Huan'er, "Well, I understand how you feel. I will keep your secret. But Huan'er, if there is such an accident next time, I suggest you tell my brother to give birth to the child. Sometimes what we women think may not be what men think. We think this is good for him, but he actually thinks another way. My brother may feel guilty, but I think he is more happy.
After all, he also knows that the safe period is not necessarily 100% safe. His willingness to continue means that he is prepared for an unexpected pregnancy, and he may even welcome the arrival of this child.
After saying this, Su Xiao's tone was still full of regret.
Ling Qianyu's eyes dimmed slightly. The child in her belly was the fruit of her love with the man she loved deeply. She was the one who cared about the child the most. She knew how much courage and reluctance it took to make this decision. Only she knew the pain she had gone through during that time.
But since she had decided to give up, she was ready and prepared. She still tried her best not to show it. She took Su Xiao's hand and turned the topic to Su Xiao. "How are you and Secretary Yun? I don't think you need to take what happened today too seriously. This is Secretary Yun's past. As long as Zhao Jiaying is alive, it can't be erased. You can't hold on to it for the rest of your life, right? She's still embarrassing you everywhere, which means she can't let go. Then you should ignore her. She's a loser. That's her failed life. Why should you share her pain?"
"I know. It's not her I care about. I just feel... maybe I'm tired after all these recent events. Sometimes I always doubt myself. Was it right to marry him? Can I really grow old with him in the future? Aunt Huang told me that I'm experiencing the early stages of depression."
"Depression?" Ling Qianyu was shocked when she heard this familiar word.
In fact, she met a patient with depression some time ago. She was a new mother who was less than 30 years old. During her pregnancy, her mother-in-law made various demands on her. Her husband was busy with work and did not understand her. He thought she was making a big deal out of nothing and asked her to be patient with his mother. Gradually, the woman stopped confiding in her husband, but she committed suicide not long after the child was born.
This is a disease that seems to have no lethality, but in fact it is very serious and kills people invisibly!
And Su Xiao...
"You're worried about me, aren't you? Aunt Huang was also worried when she talked to me about it. Sometimes I think to myself, what if one day I really can't get over it? What will happen to my children? Will they remember this incident all their lives? So I'm also scared, but I don't know how to change myself. I also know that this disease is terrible and I don't want to have it, but I don't know how to get rid of it." Su Xiao said, with a helpless and confused look.
Ling Qianyu was indeed anxious. She hugged Su Xiao and said, "Have you told Secretary Yun about this? And what about the Minister and Mrs. Zhao? You can talk to your brother. He loves you very much. Every time he finishes talking to you on the phone, he always tells me that he's worried about you. If you don't want Secretary Yun or your parents to know, then why don't you tell your brother?"
"No, I don't have anyone. Regarding the Zi Su incident, although Yun Che's explanation was very reasonable and my father also helped him explain, I didn't dwell on it, but my mentality is obviously different from before. There has always been a rift in our relationship. As for my mother, you know her. She will definitely scold me for being idle and having wild thoughts. Sometimes I wonder whether it was right or wrong for me to return to this family, and whether I am her biological daughter."
"Well, why do you think that? It's certainly right for you to come back. Although your adoptive mother treats you very well, and you no longer need your parents' support and help, blood ties are rare. As for your mother, her personality may be related to her experience and identity. But no matter what, I still think she loves you in her heart. Sometimes she blames you, maybe because she wants you well."
"Yes, in her mind, Yun Che is a rare son-in-law. I think marrying him is a blessing I've cultivated for several lifetimes, so she wants me to hold on to this son-in-law, even if it means I have to pay a lot and sacrifice everything." Su Xiao said bitterly.
Ling Qianyu stared at her, feeling even more distressed. Not knowing how to comfort her, she could only hug her tightly. "What about your brother? Why didn't you tell him? He really loves you. I once heard him tell Secretary Yun on the phone that you weren't allowed to be bullied. Even though he said it in a joking tone, it showed he was serious."
