"You...I..." Zhao Yihan's body trembled violently, and she stood there frozen as if struck by lightning, her eyes revealing an indescribable fear.
But she quickly came to her senses, and tears streamed down her face like a burst dam.
"Since you won't trust me, I'll have to raise this child alone, sob sob..."
Zhao Yihan said through sobs, then resolutely stood up and slowly walked towards the door.
"No, no, no... that's not how it is. I just want to find out the truth. If I were to raise someone else's child for no reason, wouldn't that make me a laughing stock?" Zhang Hai hurriedly reached out and grabbed Zhao Yihan, his face full of anxiety and helplessness.
"Brother Zhang, if I hadn't been so determined to help you win that project last time, why would I have done such a thing?"
Zhao Yihan, tears streaming down her face, asked in a choked voice.
"Besides, I gave you my virginity! I am truly devoted to you and willing to give everything for you."
Zhao Yihan gazed at Zhang Hai with deep affection, her eyes filled with sincerity and determination.
"But now, you actually suspect me. If it weren't for the baby in my womb, I wouldn't even have the courage to live."
At this point, Zhao Yihan cried even more heartbrokenly, which made people feel sorry for her.
“After that incident, I took sleeping pills at home. Luckily, my roommate found me in time and took me to the hospital, otherwise…” Zhao Yihan became more and more agitated as she spoke, and finally broke down in tears.
"What? You actually committed suicide?" Zhang Hai was shocked and couldn't help but interrupt Zhao Yihan.
His eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief, and a strong sense of self-reproach and guilt welled up inside him.
"Yes, I took sleeping pills. I feel like my body is no longer pure, I can't face you, so..." Zhao Yihan said through tears.
"But soon after, I found out I was pregnant. At that moment, I suddenly didn't want to die anymore."
“I long to have a child that belongs to you and me, and even if you may not want it, I will have no regrets,” Zhao Yihan continued firmly.
"No, I want this child! I'm sorry, I misunderstood you, please forgive my suspicion."
After hearing Zhao Yihan's words, Zhang Hai's doubts vanished instantly, and he completely believed that the child was his own flesh and blood.
“If you still have doubts, how about we get a biopsy? Although it will cause some harm to my body, I’m willing to endure it as long as it can dispel your concerns,” Zhao Yihan said, feigning grievance.
"No need, I trust you." Zhang Hai looked at the petite and delicate woman in front of him with heartache, and told himself in his heart that he must protect her well.
Because at this moment, Zhao Yihan made him feel the responsibility and commitment of a man, a feeling he had never experienced when he was with Sun Yueru.
Zhao Yihan also successfully stirred up Zhang Hai's deep-seated male chauvinism, giving him an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.
This sense of satisfaction is precisely what Zhang Hai lacked when he was with Sun Yueru.
"Brother Hai, when we did that last time, didn't all three of you take precautions? I even took birth control pills afterwards."
"Besides, the timing doesn't add up at all! The doctor told me I'm already eight weeks pregnant. Think about it, how much time has passed since last time?" Zhao Yihan stopped crying and calmed herself down a bit before explaining to Zhang Hai.
(It's worth noting here that searches on Baidu for methods to calculate pregnancy cycles usually return results from the end of the last menstrual period, so they are not accurate. For a more precise date, a blood test is necessary.)
"Did the doctor really say that? I'm eight weeks pregnant?" Zhang Hai asked, frowning and looking puzzled.
“Yes! How about this, when you come for your next prenatal checkup, you can come with me.” Zhao Yihan said, nodding slightly to Zhang Hai.
“Okay, I’ll go with you then.” At this moment, Zhang Hai was completely caught up in the lie that Zhao Yihan had carefully woven.
For the next month, the two spent time together in a loving and inseparable way.
When they went to the hospital for another check-up, they spent a lot of money and finally confirmed that the baby in their womb was a boy, which made them ecstatic.
"Honey, what should we do about our baby's household registration after the baby is born?"
Zhao Yihan blinked her big, watery eyes, deliberately putting on an innocent and naive appearance, and asked Zhang Hai a question in a coquettish voice.
Now that it has been confirmed that the fetus in her womb is a boy, Zhao Yihan is eager to complete the marriage registration procedures with Zhang Hai as soon as possible, so that she and her child can have someone to rely on in the future.
Recently, although the two seem to be inseparable on the surface, Zhang Hai still goes out to philander from time to time. Zhao Yihan can only choose to turn a blind eye to this and pretend to know nothing about it.
In addition, there was another person who made Zhao Yihan uneasy: Yue Yitang. Zhang Hai would often mention her unintentionally.
“Then naturally it will be registered on my family’s household registration book,” Zhang Hai replied without hesitation and with a firm tone.
"But we haven't gotten our marriage certificate yet, is this really feasible?" Zhao Yihan pressed.
"Uh... to be honest, I'm not really sure about that either," Zhang Hai stammered in response.
“If that’s really the case, then wouldn’t our child be unable to take your surname, Zhang?” Zhao Yihan said worriedly.
"Absolutely not! My own flesh and blood must share my surname," Zhang Hai stated firmly.
"Then what do you suggest we do?" Zhao Yihan asked, frowning and looking worried.
"How about this? Let's register our marriage tomorrow," Zhang Hai said earnestly to Zhao Yihan after thinking for a moment.
"Okay, I'll do whatever you say." Zhao Yihan nodded slightly in agreement, her eyes filled with affection for Zhang Hai.
"For now, I can only let you suffer a little. After you give birth, we will hold a grand wedding." Zhang Hai gently stroked Zhao Yihan's hair and solemnly made a promise.
"As long as I can be with you, I won't feel wronged," Zhao Yihan replied gently, nestling into Zhang Hai's broad embrace.
However, no one noticed that at this moment, Zhao Yihan's face revealed a hint of smugness. She was secretly plotting her future plans, and there was no sincerity in her heart at all.
