Chapter 122 Miscarriage
"A child?" An Li looked surprised, then scoffed.
What a joke! Doesn't she know her own body?
Could she possibly tell I'm pregnant after only meeting me twice?
“Heh…” An Li lowered her eyes and sneered, but did not take Jiang Ran’s warning seriously.
Unexpectedly, she developed symptoms of loss of appetite and dry heaving in the following days, and only then did she realize what was going on.
He rushed to the hospital for a check-up, and Lu Ziyi arrived in a hurry when he received the call.
The first thing I saw was Anli sitting blankly on a chair outside the clinic, clutching a report tightly in her hand.
Startled, she rushed forward and asked immediately, "Lily, what's wrong? What happened?"
Anli lowered her eyes, lost in her own thoughts, the doctor's words still ringing in her ears.
"Congratulations, you're one month pregnant..."
Seeing that An Li did not respond, Lu Ziyi took the form from her hand and saw that it clearly read 'B-ultrasound report'.
He then looked at the diagnosis below, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes, followed by a look of delight.
"You're pregnant?!" The joy in her voice was palpable.
Seeing Lu Ziyi so excited, An Li looked up at him, her eyes full of doubt.
Although she liked Lu Ziyi, her pregnancy was unexpected, which meant that the wedding date had to be moved up.
But Jiang Ran's words from before still seemed vivid in my mind...
Lu Ziyi noticed that An Li seemed a little off and quickly asked, "What's wrong?"
Anli pursed her lips slightly and poured out her worries to him.
Upon hearing this, Lu Ziyi's expression changed, and he said coldly, "It's her again!"
Then, looking at Anli, his expression softened slightly: "How could you possibly believe what she said? Just ignore her."
“But…” An Li hesitated for a moment, then said again, “But she was the one who found out I was pregnant first.”
Seeing that An Li's emotions were affected, Lu Ziyi frowned slightly and comforted her, "Maybe she's been watching you and was caught unintentionally. She said these things on purpose to confuse you and make you feel uneasy."
Upon hearing this, An Li pondered for a moment, then nodded.
Seeing that An Li's emotions were gradually calming down, Lu Ziyi's eyes lit up with joy. He then asked the doctor about the precautions and considerately put his arm around her as they returned to the villa.
An Li looked down at Lu Ziyi running around, doing everything himself, even pouring water, and not letting her interfere.
Looking at the scene before him, a slight smile appeared on his lips, and a sense of satisfaction emerged on his face.
Unable to resist, she said, "Ziyi, you will definitely be a good father..." Upon hearing this, Lu Ziyi stopped peeling the fruit, gently kissed An Li's forehead, and whispered his promise, "Of course, because this is our child."
Before she knew it, sweet words slipped out of her mouth. A blush crept onto An Li's cheeks as she lowered her head, looking shy.
Lu Ziyi smiled slightly and continued what he was doing, his joy undisguised.
He certainly looked forward to the arrival of this child, but his own selfish motives were also involved.
They say all roads lead to Rome, but some people are born in Rome.
An Li was clearly the latter. Being with her would save him thirty years of hard work, not to mention that this woman was only interested in him and was easy to control.
However, her family members were very strict about social status and looked down on her. Now, the arrival of this child is a great opportunity.
She married because she was pregnant and successfully rose to power...
He could even see a bright future ahead of him.
Anli has been feeling tired lately, and her early pregnancy symptoms are quite obvious. After gently stroking her until she fell asleep, Lu Ziyi left the house.
As night fell, the bar was bustling with noise, and Lu Ziyi mingled among them, venting his excitement.
As a shareholder of this bar, Ji Xia would come here for entertainment from time to time. Coupled with the troubles at home, she was even more irritable.
As soon as he looked up, he saw Lu Ziyi dancing in the middle of the bar, with a woman dancing intimately with him in front of him, her hand lingering on the woman's body from time to time.
Ji Xia raised an eyebrow slightly, a look of shock flashing across her face, before she scoffed, "Scumbag!"
Then, he took photos and videos and casually clicked send.
My mood instantly improved, and I waved to the bar counter: "A mojito, please."
On the other side, An Li had just woken up and found the room empty. She was wondering where Lu Ziyi had gone when she suddenly received this message.
Lu Ziyi was having a great time dancing, completely different from his usual gentle self.
Anli couldn't believe it. After all, he had just established himself as a "good dad" today. How could he have been partying all night and going to a place like this?
He quickly put on his clothes and was about to go out to find him and ask him what was going on.
However, in his haste, he lost his footing while going down the stairs and tumbled down the second floor, landing heavily on the ground with a dull thud.
"Ah!" Anli clutched her abdomen and cried out in pain. Perhaps it was the connection between mother and child, but Anli felt something slowly flowing out of her body.
The pain caused cold sweat to pour down her forehead, yet she murmured softly, "My child... my child..."
The maid rushed out upon hearing the noise and saw this scene: a large pool of blood was seeping out from under An Li's body, and anyone with eyes could tell what had happened.
The maid was startled and immediately called an ambulance.
When Lu Ziyi received the call, his expression changed drastically, and his previous excitement vanished instantly.
"What did you say?!"
"Which hospital? I'm coming right now!"
After receiving a reply from the other end, he hung up the phone.
Ji Xia noticed his expression suddenly turn serious. She didn't know what had happened, but assumed that the message she had sent had worked.
Anli called to demand accountability.
A slight smile played on his lips, a hint of mockery flashing across his face.
He clearly has a girlfriend, yet he's still thinking about cheating on her?
Ha... How utterly ridiculous!
When Lu Ziyi arrived at the hospital, only two servants from the villa were guarding the operating room door. He frowned and quickly asked, "What's going on?"
One of the maids pursed her lips slightly and hesitated before speaking, "The doctor said the baby can't be saved, and they're currently performing a D&C to terminate the pregnancy..."
"What?!" Upon hearing this, Lu Ziyi's face froze for a moment, then he murmured, "Impossible... absolutely impossible..."
The maids, seeing his unstable emotions, both lowered their eyes, not daring to touch his brow at this moment.
————
Anli slowly woke up after the anesthesia wore off.
Upon waking, she saw Lu Ziyi with his eyes slightly lowered, staring blankly into a certain direction, his face filled with unspeakable sorrow.
"Where's the child?" An Li asked slowly, a slight smile playing on her lips.
Lu Ziyi instantly snapped out of his daze, quickly grasped An Li's hand, and replied irrelevantly, "Don't overthink it, we'll have more children in the future."
Even though it was something she had expected, Anli still felt a sudden pain in her chest, as if a hand was squeezing her heart tightly, making it hard to breathe.
Then she tilted her head slightly, slowly closed her eyes, and tears quietly slid down her cheeks, dripping onto the pillow and instantly wetting the area.
Lu Ziyi quickly reached out and hugged her, comforting her, "It's okay, it's okay."
But language seems exceptionally impoverished at this moment.
"Where are you? Why weren't you by my side after I woke up?" An Li choked up, but still tried to be strong and asked in a deep voice.
"I..." Lu Ziyi was about to make up a story when a warning bell rang in his mind, and he suddenly realized that things might not be so simple.
His gaze darkened, and he replied softly, "As you know, I've been working on a project recently, and the person in charge asked me to come for a meeting, so I specifically waited until you were asleep before going."
An Li knew about the project he was talking about. She placed him in one of the departments of the An Group so that he could achieve something.
"Where should we meet?" An Li asked again.
Lu Ziyi instantly understood An Li's meaning; she was testing him.
“A bar.” He then spoke slowly, adding accusation, “I’m never going to a place like this again. What kind of people are they? Drinking isn’t enough, they even dance!” An Li believed Lu Ziyi’s words, which were almost identical to what was shown in the video.
After realizing that he had not betrayed her, she could no longer suppress the grievances in her heart and burst into tears.
