Chapter 60: She Is Pregnant
After venting out his displeasure loud in office, Zhong Yi walked out with a long face and decided to spend the whole night having fun in a pub.
Xu Youyou was walking feebly along the roadside, and a sudden pain struck her lower abdomen, which became more and more intense. Xu Youyou held on to a light pole, her face covered with beads of sweat.
Zhong Yi caught sight of a woman squatting on the roadside as he hummed.
“Xu Youyou?”
He didn’t intend to stop. Since now Xu Youyou had nothing to do with him, he had no need to care about her.
Two minutes later, Xu Youyou fell on the floor. There were many passers-by coming and going and discussing her, but no one offered to help.
“Shit!”
Zhong Yi muttered, got off and carried Xu Youyou to the car.
With her eyes closed and brows furrowed, Xu Youyou appeared thin and pale.
Zhong Yi peeked at the frowning woman via the rear view mirror
She got really skinny in only a few days.
Xu Youyou didn’t know who had brought her to hospital, but heard a doctor speaking when she was in a daze. She tried to open her eyes, but failed.
Watching her wheeled into the emergency room, Zhong Yi turned to leave.
“Sir, please stay here.”
The nurse blocked him and snapped,
“Your girlfriend’s still undergoing an emergency surgery. You can’t leave.”
The young nurse stopped Zhong Yi. She had seen many of his kind, who disappeared when their girlfriend was hovering between life and death on the operating table.
Getting a sharp look from the nurse, Zhong Yi curled his lips, and sat silently on the corridor to wait for Xu Youyou.
An hour later, the doctor patted him awake as he dozed off.
“Your girlfriend has been pregnant for a month. But she is in poor health and severely malnourished. She had better not strain herself too much, or it will affect the developing baby.”
Zhong Yi immediately focused his attention, “Xu Youyou is pregnant?”
“Pay the bill and go see your girlfriend.”
Speechless out of shock, Zhong Yi followed the doctor to complete the admitting procedures, and then went to buy some food. When he reached the door, he stopped.
‘Xu Youyou is pregnant… for a month,’ Zhong Yi’s breath quickened, ‘That’s the time Xu Youyou stayed with me.’Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
The child…
Xu Youyou lay still on her back, her eyes empty and dull. She was extremely haggard.
A month ago, she was an energetic and bright girl, but now she was lying in hospital, her mother in another one.
Xu Youyou touched her stomach. She was pregnant, and she was gonna have a baby, but she wasn’t happy at all.
Seeing Zhong Yi come in and take out the food, she was speechless and confused with her eyes wide open.
“The doctor says you are weak and suffering from malnutrition.”
Zhong Yi felt a bit sorry for her gaunt cheeks, but didn’t know what to speak.
“The child…”
“I’ll have an abortion. It’s none of your business.”
Xu Youyou turned her head away. She knew she was in a mess, and she knew Zhong Yi would despise her.
Zhong Yi was mad at her unexpected coldness.
“Why are you so cruel-hearted? You just learned about your pregnancy, and you’re considering how to kill the child!”
Xu Youyou sneered, tears flowing down her cheeks uncontrollably.
“That’s my child, Zhong Yi. Remember we are over now and you have no right to poke your nose into my affairs!”
“It’s mine, too!”
“Enough. Zhong Yi!”
Xu Youyou scrambled out of bed and pushed him out of the ward.
“So what, are you going to allow me to keep it? Forget it, Zhong Yi. Move on to your next target.”
Zhong Yi turned to press Xu Youyou against the wall, looked into her eyes and gnashed his teeth,
“Is this what you think?”
As if hearing a big joke, Xu Youyou laughed to tears,
“Don’t you know who I am?”
Smacking the wall with his hand, Zhong Yi compressed his lips and stormed out.
Xu Youyou sat back on the bed, rubbed her belly, and gobbled down the food Zhong Yi brought to her.
She couldn’t let herself fall apart; her mother was waiting for her.
Tears mixed with rice were swallowed by Xu Youyou. The sour taste made her cry even harder.
Zhong Yi sat desperately in the car and smoked alone, watching the light from Xu Youyou’s ward.
He noticed Xu Youyou on her first day in Jiayuan. She was a young and energetic girl, appearing confident and charming in work uniform.
Zhong Yi was a playboy had many ex-girls, but those girls actively pursued him. Xu Youyou was the first exception.
Xu Youyou, however, had no feelings for him and was unmoved.
This not only didn’t discourage Zhong Yi, but strengthened his determination to chase Xu Youyou. Because he had been close to many flight attendants in the company, he was recognized as an amorous womanizer, which was Xu Youyou’s reason for refusing him.
Zhong Yi once vowed to Xu Youyou that if he found the woman he loved, he would cut off all ties with other women.
Xu Youyou pushed him away smiling and threw the flowers he gave her into the garbage can on the spot.
He prepared breakfast for her every day before she came to work.
He asked the manager to transfer him and Xu Youyou to the same flight.
He made efforts to create encounters again and again.
But he failed. Xu Youyou refused his approach and began to avoid him.
Finally, Zhong Yi gave up. He was used to the love and attention of all people since his childhood, and then was pursued by all kinds of girls when he grew up. He was never so tired.
Zhong Yi returned to the life of drinking and playing around, lingering among different women without stopping for anyone. But his happiness was no longer burden-free.
A month ago, Xu Youyou suddenly found him.
Though Zhong Yi seemed calm, a burst of ecstasy rose up in him.
Everything was like a dream. Xu Youyou accepted him and slept with him that night.
However, just as he was considering how to move forward, Xu Youyou slapped him hard in the face.
Xu Youyou said that she was forced and demanded compensation from Zhong Yi, or she would call the police.
But she was a bad liar. Zhong Yi saw through her disguise at a glance and saw her installing the camera secretly in the room from the beginning.
That was ok. Since she had done so much, he might as well playact with her.
He wasn’t Liu Xiahui who refused a woman throwing herself on him. Moreover, if she wanted money, he wouldn’t be mean.
He gave her a large sum of money, much more than she demanded.
Xu Youyou took the money and disappeared without saying a word.
It didn’t matter to Zhong Yi. With countless beauties waiting for him, he would rather enjoy himself than cry over a woman.
But his eyes hurt from heavy smoking that day.
