Wen Xuanxuan cried as she spoke, "My period is more than ten days late, do you think I might have gotten pregnant? I searched online, and Baidu said I might be, what should I do..."
Gong Zhijing's tense mood gradually relaxed. She had thought something incredibly serious had happened. The moment the call connected, a lot of unpleasant scenarios played out uncontrollably in her mind. If it were true, and Wen Xuanxuan was thousands of miles away, she could only worry helplessly. She let out a sigh and said, "It's alright, if you're pregnant, you're pregnant. Li Bowen will take responsibility anyway. Stop guessing wildly and just go to the pharmacy to buy a pregnancy test."
"Oh god, I don't want to be a mom yet," Wen Xuanxuan wailed, almost going mad. She never imagined she would get pregnant so quickly, especially since it was the first time they hadn't used protection. To be precise, it was the first time they slept together without protection, and then they... several times...
Hearing the last part, Ling Yuchen touched his nose and moved a few steps away. Gong Zhijing, oblivious to his movement, was comforting Wen Xuanxuan. "Alright, stop crying. You and Li Bowen are meant to be together anyway. Aunt Wen and Uncle Wen definitely won't blame you. At worst, we can all get married together, look, I already have a child."
Wen Xuanxuan's emotions stabilized considerably. She was just a bit scared and bewildered. She had been having too much fun lately and suddenly realized her period was very late, which made her panic. She searched online and was completely terrified. The first person she thought of in her panic and helplessness was Gong Zhijing. Under her comfort, her panicked mood gradually subsided. "I'll go to the pharmacy to buy a pregnancy test when it gets light. I'll talk to you later, bye."
The call came suddenly and ended just as abruptly. Gong Zhijing listened to the dial tone in her phone with a helpless expression. This friend was truly impetuous and carefree. After putting away her phone, she looked at Ling Yuchen beside her, but he was nowhere to be seen. She searched around and found him by the pond. He was holding his phone, fiddling with something. Gong Zhijing leaned closer and asked curiously, "What are you doing?"
"Nothing much, just posted on Weibo."
"Let me see!" Gong Zhijing took his phone and saw the content of his Weibo post. The caption read: "My wife and daughter are the most beautiful." The accompanying picture was one he had just taken, along with a photo of Ling Leyou. In a short time, it had gained astonishing attention, with comments and shares increasing rapidly. This was Ling Leyou's first public appearance since her birth. Anyone would be happy to be officially announced by their husband, wouldn't they?
Gong Zhijing pouted, feigning displeasure, "Why did you post this? Honestly." Ling Yuchen showed a rare hint of pride. "Can't I show off my wife and child?"
"Yes, you can. Who says you can't?" Gong Zhijing's lips couldn't stop curving upwards. "Alright, I need to go change." She had impulsively put on a Hanfu earlier and now needed to change it. It wouldn't be appropriate to be dressed like this in the front courtyard. Ling Yuchen walked beside her and naturally slung an arm around her waist. "I'll come too..."
Gong Zhijing keenly sensed the ill intentions radiating from the person beside her. The hand around her waist felt incredibly hot.
---Y Country---
Wen Xuanxuan felt completely dazed, still unable to accept this. She was currently sitting on the toilet in the hotel bathroom, calming herself down before regaining her composure. It wasn't dawn yet, so she had to wait until morning to buy a pregnancy test. She hadn't adjusted to the time difference. In the middle of the night, she had a stomach ache and went to the bathroom. While idly browsing her phone, she saw something about periods and then remembered her own seemed to be very late. Counting the time, she realized it was half a month late. Panic set in, and after searching online for a long time, she was absolutely terrified.
As she came out of the bathroom, Li Bowen had woken up and was leaning against the headboard, playing on his phone. The quilt was half-covered over his stomach, and he was shirtless, his arms exposed. The alluring scene stimulated his senses. His smooth, well-defined muscles were exceptionally sexy, and his chest muscles and abdominal lines exuded charm, making one's heart race. But Wen Xuanxuan had no intention of appreciating any of this now. Her mind was filled with thoughts of "I'm pregnant, I'm pregnant, what should I do..."
"Why did you take so long? Are you not feeling well?" Li Bowen looked at her, his eyes full of tenderness.
Wen Xuanxuan glared at him and huffed, "It's all your fault!!"
"What did I do?" Li Bowen was completely baffled, finding it utterly inexplicable.
"Hmph!" Wen Xuanxuan didn't want to talk to him. Annoyed, she went to the living room and flopped onto the sofa, burying her face in a pillow. Then, thinking of something, she adjusted her position to lie on her back.
Li Bowen followed her to the living room. He was only wearing grey loungewear bottoms, his upper body bare. His physique was perfect, exuding a dangerously alluring aura. "Baby, what's wrong?" he stood in front of Wen Xuanxuan, like a child who had done something wrong. He couldn't for the life of him figure out what he had done wrong. Wen Xuanxuan had been lying in his arms tenderly just moments ago, and now, after going to the bathroom, she was like this. Wen Xuanxuan didn't want to speak, so she simply closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.
Li Bowen cautiously moved closer. When the person lying there didn't react, he moved even closer. He had seen a video online earlier that said: If a woman is angry, just kiss her. If one kiss isn't enough, then two. If two aren't enough, then sleep it off. As the saying goes, one night can resolve all grievances... Slowly, he stood before Wen Xuanxuan. He crouched down, leaned in, and kissed her. The series of actions flowed smoothly.
Wen Xuanxuan suddenly opened her eyes, her eyes wide, and pushed Li Bowen away with all her might. Li Bowen, caught off guard, fell directly to the floor. He looked at her with a bewildered expression, his mind full of questions. Wen Xuanxuan's chest heaved with anger. She wanted to vent but didn't know where to start. She didn't want to tell Li Bowen yet. This was all her speculation. What if she wasn't pregnant? It would have been a pointless fuss. She took a deep breath, suppressed her inner frustration, turned over, and directly turned her back to Li Bowen.
Li Bowen couldn't guess where he had gone wrong and didn't dare to touch Wen Xuanxuan again. He could only dejectedly go and sit on a single sofa nearby. Wen Xuanxuan closed her eyes, her mind racing with thoughts. The two remained in a stalemate. Li Bowen felt a dull ache in his heart. He looked at Wen Xuanxuan's back, almost crying with distress. Minutes ticked by. The eastern sky began to show a hint of dawn. The darkness gradually receded, and the light entering through the window grew brighter.
Wen Xuanxuan suddenly sat up and said to Li Bowen, "I'm hungry. I want to eat spaghetti..." Li Bowen was instantly relieved to see that she seemed fine. Although he didn't know what had happened, he was just glad she wasn't upset anymore. "I'll go buy it. Wait for me."
