Jiang Chao read what Liu Yan wanted to say from her reproachful eyes, and his expression gradually stiffened. "Damn it, could it be that I... took the wrong one?"
But there were so many in that box, why the hell did I get to just grab the one I had just opened?!
"How can someone get pregnant on their first try?"
He kept muttering to himself, without even knowing who he was complaining to.
"Are these things important?" Liu Yan asked, her eyes brimming with tears.
"..." He didn't speak again, but instead shifted his gaze to Liu Yan's flat stomach, and then seemed to freeze, remaining motionless.
A long silence fell over the office. The two could hear each other breathing clearly, but had no idea what the other was thinking.
"Will you come with me to the hospital to take the baby..."
After a long while, Liu Yan suddenly spoke, but she stopped halfway through her sentence.
She opened and closed her mouth several times, but she just couldn't bring herself to say "child".
She always felt that once she uttered that word, she would never be able to bring herself to say it again.
As if on instinct, Liu Yan put her hands on her lower abdomen.
This is her child.
Even when he grows up, I can still hear him call me "Mom"...
But it seems she won't have the chance to see what the child will look like when he grows up.
They couldn't even tell if he was a boy or a girl.
Thinking of this, Liu Yan, who had been holding on for half a day, finally lost her usual calm demeanor. Tears welled up in her reddened eyes, and she felt like she was about to cry at any moment.
"Come with me to the hospital to get an abortion." She bit her lower lip, fighting back tears, and repeated it again.
Every word.
"Why?" Jiang Chao's eyes were somewhat dazed, clearly not having reacted yet.
"What else can we do?!"
She cried out, her voice gradually turning hysterical.
"You don't even remember my period!"
"For the past two weeks, I've been on tenterhooks every day, hoping it would come soon. We live together every day, but you have no idea that my period is late!"
"You can't even fully focus your attention on me! How much of that is left for the child? How can we keep this child?"
After she finished speaking, Jiang Chao remained sitting there quietly, as if he hadn't heard her at all, without uttering a single word.
Seeing this, Liu Yan felt even more aggrieved. She wanted to reach out and slap his shoulder, but after raising her hand in mid-air for a long time, she didn't actually hit him. Instead, she turned around and sat on the other side.
A moment later, a muffled thud startled Liu Yan, who was in a daze. She turned around and saw Jiang Chao's cigarette and lighter being thrown into the trash can, lying there quietly.
Liu Yan was stunned for a moment, and before she could react, Jiang Chao had already knelt down on one knee in front of her and reached out to wipe the tears from her cheeks.
"Don't cry, sweetie. My girlfriend always gets physical when she's unhappy, she doesn't cry so much."
"I can't bear to part with him..." Liu Yan suddenly cried even harder after being comforted, hugging him tightly and repeatedly muttering between sobs, "I really can't bear to part with him..."
Jiang Chao remained silent for a long time, and seeing Liu Yan's appearance, his eyes welled up with tears.
Let's get married.
He said.
