Chapter 495 Lies come true?
In a blink of an eye.
It has been three days since Fang Li returned to Haicheng.
My stomach, which had been feeling better a few days ago, started to feel uncomfortable again.
Especially on the first afternoon after returning, Xu Tingfeng happily cooked a table full of dishes that his daughter liked. However, as soon as Fang Li sat down, she felt a sour taste in her mouth and ran to the bathroom to vomit.
At that time, the whole family was really scared.
Fang Li still remembers her father standing at the bathroom door with a worried and helpless expression on his face.
Fortunately, my mother and aunt had experience and said that it was normal morning sickness, so the whole family felt relieved.
Although her family was relieved, no one knew that Fang Li had not slept well the whole night.
She knew exactly what pregnancy was all about.
She stared at the blurry light and shadow on the ceiling, and her situation over the past few days played out in her mind like a movie.
"How could this be..." She muttered to herself, her fingertips unconsciously caressing her lower abdomen.
It was still flat there, but the churning stomach and the inexplicable heaviness that had disappeared over the past few days were all fighting against the absurd lie in her heart.
The last time she talked back to her grandfather, she was so anxious that she blurted out what she wanted to say, and with red eyes, she said that she was pregnant with Han Xi's child, which temporarily saved the marriage.
It was just a temporary solution then, but now...
It was just a lie. I told it at the time to make my grandfather give up the idea. It was totally false, but now I make it sound like the truth.
Everyone in the family thought she was really pregnant. If she hadn't...
The night is as dark as ink, and the winter nights in Haicheng are always bitingly cold and damp.
Fang Li curled up on the sofa in the bedroom, her fingers unconsciously stroking her flat belly, her brows furrowed.
But if she wasn't pregnant...the churning in her stomach these past few days was so inexplicable that she even avoided her favorite sweet and sour pork ribs.
"That's impossible..."
She frowned in suspicion, her fingertips trembling slightly.
Is that absurd lie going to come true?
The pregnancy excuse she made up just happened to hit her back like a boomerang?
The screen of the mobile phone beside the pillow suddenly lit up. Fang Li picked up the phone and answered it. Soon Han Xi's handsome face appeared in the video.
There was a hint of fatigue between his brows, but the corners of his mouth were slightly curved with a warm expression: "Are you asleep?"
His voice was low, and the longing in his eyes almost overflowed.
Fang Li subconsciously moved her hand away from her lower abdomen and smiled: "I just lay down, not yet. How about you?"
"Just came out of the police station."
"Is it resolved?"
"It's nothing serious. I was just cooperating with Fourth Uncle. He wanted me to stay at the police station for a few more days, so I fulfilled his wish. However, it's almost New Year's Eve, so I have to be moderate in my cooperation. I can't let Grandpa worry."
Fang Li frowned: "Then you come out, and there is no reaction from Fourth Uncle?"
"How could he react? He doesn't want Grandpa to know what he has done over the years. Nothing can affect the Han family's New Year's Eve."
Fang Li was silent.
Han Xi looked at her, his eyes gentle as he said, "How was your trip these past two days? You've been staying at home the whole time. Have you gone anywhere for a walk?"
"Yesterday at noon, I went to the supermarket with my mother and my aunt."
"What did you buy?"
Fang Li blinked her eyelashes and thought for a moment before saying, "I bought a small steak, and... I also bought some snacks and daily necessities."
"Are you happy to be home?"
"Happy, but..."
Fang Li swallowed the words back when they were on the tip of her tongue.
Mamba's journey was extremely dangerous, and she couldn't let him be distracted.
"Just what?"
Fang Li smiled: "Nothing."
There was a sudden knock on the bedroom door, and my mother came in with a piece of bird's nest: "Lili, drink your milk before you go to sleep."
"Mom is here, I won't tell you anymore."
When Fang Yun came in, Fang Li had just finished reeling in the phone.
Fang Yun placed the milk on the bedside table and leaned over to help Fang Li pull the corner of the quilt. He looked at her cautiously, as if she were some fragile porcelain.
"Still feeling bad?"
Fang Li shook her head, "Much better."
Fang Yun reached out and stroked her long hair, saying, "This is how it is when a woman is pregnant. It's very hard, but when the baby is born, you'll feel that everything is worth it."
"Yeah, I know."
Looking at her daughter's well-behaved appearance, Fang Yun smiled: "My Lili has grown up and will soon become a mother. That's great."
Fang Li smiled softly as she leaned against her mother.
Fang Yun stayed for a while and then left. He asked Fang Li to drink some milk and rest early and stop playing with her phone.
After her mother left, the smile on Fang Li's face quickly disappeared. She turned sideways and stared at the snowflakes falling outside the window in a daze.
Pregnant......
She had to confirm whether this ridiculous guess was true or not. This feeling of being stuck in the middle was really uncomfortable.
Fang Li curled up in the quilt in the bedroom, but her fingertips felt a little hot.
She waited quietly with her eyes open until there was no sound in the small building and everyone went back to their own yards to sleep. It was already late at night.
Fang Li clutched her phone, her face pale from the screen light. Her fingers slid quickly across the shopping app, and she found a pharmacy that offered 24-hour delivery. With trembling fingers, she clicked on "pregnancy test stick" and "expedited delivery", choosing the address at the foot of the mountain.
After paying, she finally realized that she was buying this in the middle of the night. How would she explain it to her family if they saw her?
But it's too late to regret now.
She sat on the edge of the bed, hugging her knees, listening to the occasional sound of wind blowing outside the window, her heart beating like a drum.
If it really happened...what would Han Xi's expression be when he found out?
Would he happily run back from the Han family immediately?
As soon as the thought came to his mind, she extinguished it. No, he was about to go to Mamba, which was so chaotic. Fourth uncle Han Shuo's power was deeply rooted and it would be dangerous for him to go there this time.
What if it was just my blind guess? Not only would it be a false alarm, but it would also be a big deal if it distracted him.
Estimating that the time was almost up, Fang Li grabbed a thick down jacket and wrapped herself in it, then tiptoed downstairs to the entrance.
The clock on the wall pointed to one o'clock in the morning. She wrapped herself in a down jacket and slipped out of the building as if possessed by a ghost.
He just drove a small shuttle bus out of the old house and headed down the mountain.
The mountain road was still bright at night. Except for the three duty booths where bodyguards were standing, everyone else was asleep.
Every time Fang Li drove the shuttle bus past a place, someone would come out and ask her what she was doing and if she needed help.
Fang Li made up an excuse and told them not to interfere and just keep it a secret.
It took us just over ten minutes to reach the foot of the mountain. The sky was dark and it seemed to be snowing. Occasionally, I could feel a hint of coolness falling on my face.
As Fang Li arrived, an electric car drove over.
"Miss Xu?"
Fang Li quickly parked the car and walked over. "It's me, it's me. Thank you for your hard work."
"Let me take a look at your things."
Fang Li only took a quick look and quickly hugged him in her arms, "No problem, thank you, Master. I will give you a good review."
"Thank you very much."
The flash deliveryman's car left.
Fang Li was just about to go back with her things when she heard a voice behind her.
"Xu Fangli?"
