"Why are there so many packages?" Qin Lianyi could not help asking."They're all yours. My dear, it's not easy to make money. Why did you buy so many things in one go? Don't you know how to save some money? How much did you pay for all these?" lectured Mrs. Qin."M-Mine?" Qin Lianyi was dumbfounded. There must be at least 30 boxes!However, she had not bought anything online.Qin Lianyi casually opened a box. When she saw a container with the words ‘folic acid’, she was shocked. She quickly hugged the box and said, "Mom, I'll take these back to my room first. Uh, I won't bother you anymore!"With that, she quickly carried all the boxes that cluttered the living room back to her room. She closed the door and began to unbox them.The more boxes Qin Lianyi opened, the more surprised she became.What was contained in these packages were food for pregnant women, books about pregnancy, baby items, skincare products for pregnant women, stretch mark creams, and even... a pillow for preg
After a long while, Qin Lianyi finally heard Bai Tingxin's voice from the phone. "Are you thinking of aborting the baby?""I... I'm just saying," she said timidly. She did not know why she was scared when she heard Bai Tingxin ask that.It was as if it was a heinous thing to abort the baby."Anyway, hurry and send someone to take all these things back," said Qin Lianyi."Are you so scared of your parents finding out you're pregnant?" he asked.She snapped, "How am I not supposed to be scared? I'm a single woman who got pregnant. Do you think it's a glorious matter?"Her parents were quite conservative. If they found out about it, she would be punished to kneel on a washboard."Then if we get married, your parents won't scold you, right?" asked Bai Tingxin."Get... Get married?" Qin Lianyi's jaw dropped. Although she had thought about it, she did not expect Bai Tingxin to mention it so quickly. He even did it... on the phone."If we get married, isn't having kids something just
"I guess so," replied Qin Lianyi."What would you like to eat?" asked Bai Yulai."Anything that's light," said Qin Lianyi.The two went to a restaurant near the concert venue and ordered some light food.As Qin Lianyi ate, the feeling of nausea came over her again. She hurriedly rushed to the washroom to throw up.She threw up for quite a while before coming out.Bai Yulai asked with concern, "What's wrong? Are you feeling sick?" "It's morning sickness," said Qin Lianyi. She did not hide it from him. After all, she had agreed to go out with him to tell him about it."Morning sickness?" Bai Yulai was stunned. His expression froze, and he could not react in time."It’s a hormonal reaction that pregnant women face, causing us to get morning sickness,” explained Qin Lianyi.Bai Yulai said, "I know what morning sickness is. You have morning sickness. Are you...""Yeah, I'm pregnant. Sorry," she said. Her round eyes were clear.Bai Yulai suddenly understood why he always had a g
Bai Yulai said, "They're just strangers who misunderstood. Don't take it to heart."His casual attitude made her feel less awkward. Suddenly, as if she recalled something, she said, "By the way, don't tell anyone about my pregnancy. I... haven't told my parents yet."Bai Yulai froze slightly. Surprise flashed across his eyes as he asked, "Is Bai Tingxin unwilling to take responsibility?""Huh?" Qin Lianyi blinked and did not react in time to Bai Yulai's wild speculation."Are you scared to tell your parents about your pregnancy because Bai Tingxin refuses to take responsibility?" asked Bai Yulai."I... I didn't tell my parents because..." However, before Qin Lianyi could finish, a voice interjected. "Who did you say isn’t taking responsibility?"Qin Lianyi shuddered, feeling her hair standing on end. She turned around only to see Bai Tingxin standing a few steps behind her.'Gosh! When did he come here?'Bai Yulai was also surprised to see Bai Tingxin. The way his eyes stared
"Oh? Then why didn't you go in?" he asked.She rolled her eyes at him. "I'm pregnant. You know how loud a concert can be. What if people bump into me and squeeze by me after I go in?”'Doesn't he know this when he has accompanied me to many concerts?'His eyes softened. "Were you afraid that the baby in your belly might get hurt?""I..." She froze and said nothing more.Bai Tingxin's voice rang in her ears again. "Bai Yulai thinks I refuse to take responsibility after getting you pregnant.""He misunderstood!" she said quickly."Well then, do you want me to be responsible for you?" he asked.Her eyes met his, and at that moment, she felt as if she were drowning in them."Do you? Do you want me to be responsible for you?" His voice was so mesmerizing that she wanted to nod and say yes.'No... No!'She had never wanted him to take responsibility like this...Qin Lianyi shook her head, and the pressure around her instantly reduced.Bai Tingxin's eyes dimmed almost unmistakabl
He hugged her hard, even though it only made his pain worse.She had no idea how much strength her words had given him to keep enduring the pain."Lianyi, wait for me. Give me a little more time," he muttered.He would come clean to her after he got rid of the blood curse!...Qin Lianyi could attend GB's concert after all. She was in the VIP room where she was not pushed around by a crowd of fans. Sitting in the private room, she looked at the transparent glass in front of her. It showed the stage, as well as the many screens that provided the view from different angles. She got to see the concert in all directions, so to speak.Qin Lianyi could not help but sigh at the power of money. Even so, she did not enjoy the concert much."What's the matter? Do you dislike it?" asked Bai Tingxin."I just find it a little weird. I find a concert more fun when you can scream and go crazy with everyone," said Qin Lianyi."I thought you wanted to see GB's concert just to see those five
Qin Lianyi’s heart was in turmoil at that instant!When Bai Tingxin drove her back to her apartment after the concert ended, all she was thinking about was what Bai Tingxin had said and the song he sang.'Did a man like him learn to sing for... me?'"You can tell Bai Yulai about your pregnancy but not your parents?" Bai Tingxin's voice broke the peace in the car."Ah!" Qin Lianyi suddenly came to her senses. "I told Bai Yulai because I thought I should tell him, lest I stop him from dating other people."He looked at her gravely. "You're very considerate of Bai Yulai, but what about me? What are you going to tell me?"Qin Lianyi hesitated and said, "Bai Tingxin, I don't want to marry just for the sake of the baby. If that's all there is to marriage, then I'd rather be a single mother like Sis Zhuo and raise my child alone!"After a pause, she took a deep breath. As if she had mustered a great amount of courage, she said, "Besides, I haven't figured out whether I'm keeping the ba
He looked up at her and said, "Yiran, you’ll never be a burden to me. You’re my everything."Her heart jumped. This man was so deeply in love with her. It was the same five years ago and the same five years later!She moved out of bed."What's the matter? Do you want a glass of water or go to the bathroom?" he asked as he got up and walked quickly to her side."Nothing, I just… suddenly want to touch you,” said Ling Yiran. Although the bandages on her hands had been removed and she only had to apply some scar-lightening cream on the wounds every day, her fingers were still unable to move. She also needed to stimulate the nerves in her hands with slight electric currents every day."Where do you want to touch? My face?" asked Yi Jinli as he gently took Ling Yiran's hand and pressed it against his cheek.His cool cheek touched her warm fingers, and he gently rubbed his cheek against her palm. She always made him feel warm.He was the one who depended on her!Yi Jinli slowly mov
