The hand stretched in the air was shaking constantly.

Qiao Ruyi's blood seemed to be injected into cement, and her limbs were so numb that she couldn't move.

The color drained from his face in an instant, leaving him looking extremely pale.

She thought she had just heard wrongly.

The conversation in the study continued.

"Does Ruyi know about this?"

"she does not know."

"Do you think having a child now will become a stumbling block for you?"

Qiao Ruyi only felt dizzy and tinnitus, and could not hear anything.

Contraceptive injection?

Ling Che secretly injected a contraceptive injection?

Her trembling hands moved to her flat belly, and tears fell uncontrollably.

No wonder... No wonder there has been no movement in my stomach for so long.

She asked him naively, but he lied to her and told her that having children depends on fate.

He deceived her and kept secrets from her, making her suffer so much!

She believed him again and again, but he treated her like a fool and played her around with applause again and again.

What is the truth in his words?

......

Half an hour later, the study door opened.

Zhuang Yuwei was jumping around not far away, picking up some grass to play with from time to time.

"Look at your mother, she's like a little child." Ling Gu sighed, "It's good this way, carefree. Living like this for the rest of your life is better than anything else."

Ling Che didn't say anything. He looked around but didn't see any trace of Qiao Ruyi.

Ling Gu asked again, "What are you going to do after this is over and we settle down?"

"Give your granddaughter-in-law a grand wedding, and then take her out for a honeymoon." Ling Che walked over there and said with a smile, "And give you a great-grandson."

Ling Gu leaned on a red carved wooden cane and smiled at him, "That's pretty good."

Ling Che walked towards Zhuang Yuwei and asked the servant next to him, "Where is the young lady?"

"The young lady said she was not feeling well and went back first."

"Not feeling well?" Ling Che frowned. Why didn't he tell him if he was not feeling well?

"Bad guy!" Zhuang Yuwei plucked a handful of grass and threw it at Ling Che, "You bad guy who bullied Xiaoyi!"

"Xiaoyi..." She sniffed, "crying..."

Ling Che thought she was still holding a grudge for what happened in Jingxin Garden last time. He flicked off the grass ash that had fallen on him and said with a mixture of anger and laughter, "You're quite partial to your daughter-in-law."

......

There was not a single ray of light in the vast Yujing Bay.

The bright moonlight of the autumn night shines through the huge glass windows and falls into the living room.

A slender figure was vaguely visible on the sofa.

The dim light from the cell phone made her delicate face look very pale and bloodless, with tiny beads of sweat faintly visible on her forehead.

"Miss Qiao, are you listening?"

A gentle female voice came from the other end of the phone.

Qiao Ruyi clutched her abdomen tightly with one hand and held her phone with the other. She swallowed hard, "...listening."

"Ms. Qiao, you got your prescription here last time, so I called to remind you."

The woman on the other end of the phone continued gently, "I told you last time that this medication is an estrogen medication. Although it can promote the combination and implantation of a fertilized egg, long-term use can lead to excessive estrogen levels, which can be very harmful to the uterus. It can cause abdominal pain at the mildest, and even uterine polyps at the worst."

"So you've been taking it for a while and can't continue. If you haven't conceived yet, I suggest you and your husband come to the hospital for a comprehensive checkup."

Qiao Ruyi's eyes fell on the medicine boxes on the coffee table. She curled her lips and said, "Thank you, I understand."

After hanging up the phone, the severe pain in her abdomen made her breathing disordered.

His face was so pale that not a trace of blood was left and big beads of cold sweat were dripping from his forehead.

A flash of white light flashed outside the villa, and the sound of a car driving in was heard.

......

The black Bentley drove into the front yard. The man in the driver's seat glanced at the darkened villa and asked the bodyguard at the door, "Is the young lady back?"

The bodyguard replied respectfully, "The young lady returned in the evening and has been at home since then."

Ling Che glanced upstairs. Could it be that he fell asleep because he was feeling unwell?

Just as I was about to get off the bus, my cell phone rang urgently.

He took a look and turned off the phone, and it rang again in less than two seconds.

Frowning, he picked up the phone and heard Ge Qiu crying from the other end, "Boss Ling is in trouble! Miss Bai swallowed a large amount of sleeping pills and has been sent to the emergency room!"

Ling Che frowned, started the car again and drove away from the villa.

The vehicle just came back and drove away again, and the sound became farther and farther away until it could no longer be heard.

Qiao Ruyi leaned on the sofa and looked out the window. The white light flashed again and again, and then disappeared.

Her lower abdomen hurt so much that even her breathing was trembling. Her eyes were dull and no one knew what she was thinking.

After a long time, a line of tears rolled down from the corner of her eyes and she wiped them away.

She was the only one in the villa surrounded by darkness. It was so quiet that she could even hear her own unrhythmic breathing.

A loud phone ring broke the silence.

One sound after another, it never stops.

Like something urgent.

It took a lot of effort for her to stand up from the sofa, and then she moved to the phone by holding on to the sofa and the wine cabinet.

As soon as I picked up the phone, a middle-aged woman's voice came from the other end.

"Is that Mrs. Ling?"

It was Ge Qiu's voice.

Qiao Ruyi didn't say anything, and the other side continued, "Boss Ling asked me to tell you that Miss Bai is not feeling well tonight. He is staying here with Miss Bai and will not be going back tonight——"

Qiao Ruyi hung up the phone before she could finish her words.

Returning to the sofa, she took out two painkillers from the medicine box with trembling hands and swallowed them.

She didn't know how long the pain lasted. In a daze, she seemed to have a dream.

She dreamed of a snowy scene where she and Ling Che were playing snowballs.

There was a baby with a baby voice next to her, rolling a very big snowball and running towards her.

While calling her mother, he giggled and threw snowballs at her.

She shuddered, her lower abdomen twitched violently, and she woke up.

I opened my eyes and it was pitch black again.

......

It was already midnight when Ling Che returned to Yujingwan from the hospital.

The huge villa was silent.

He quietly opened the door and turned on the light. Just as he was about to go upstairs to look for someone, he walked into the living room and found that slender figure sitting on the sofa, staring at him.

She was still wearing the same Chinese-style suit she wore during the day, and her low bun was a little loose.

He didn't change his clothes or go upstairs to sleep. It looked like he had been lying on the sofa the whole time.

"What's wrong?" Ling Che squatted down beside her and found that her originally fair skin was now as white as paper.

He raised his hand and touched her forehead, and found that she didn't have a fever.

"Where does it hurt?"

He frowned slightly, staring at her with deep eyes, "Have you asked the doctor to come and see?"

Qiao Ruyi had no expression on her face. She stared down at him intently, then suddenly smiled.

She stared into Ling Che's eyes with a smile, "Ling Che, I'm pregnant."
