I returned home feeling uneasy and kept looking at the door, worried that Zhou Minghe would bring back bad news.

I think Zhou Ci and I haven't seen each other for a year and a half, and I haven't asked anyone about him.

In my opinion, exes should be buried in the ground and commemorated once, but it is absolutely not something that can be dug up and looked at again.

Zhou Ci and I are already familiar strangers. Besides, he has a daughter. Given his personality, he must love his child very much.

I subconsciously reached out and gently stroked my lower abdomen. I was about to have my own child.

Every minute and every second was torturous. Finally, at half past eleven, Zhou Minghe came back.

He seemed to have drunk a little, but he was not drunk at all, and his eyes were still very clear.

"Have you been waiting for me?" Zhou Minghe stood up from the sofa as soon as he saw me. He smiled with his lips curved, walked towards me, and gently pushed me back to sit on the sofa.

"Have you talked to your uncle about us?" I was of course anxious and angry, so I asked directly.

"Of course we did." Zhou Minghe had a face that looked like he was asking for a beating. The next second, he sat down beside me, his long arm resting on my shoulders, his fingers gently stroking my hair. "Don't worry, my uncle didn't blame us. On the contrary, he asked me to take good care of you."

"Really?" I cried my heart out. This sounded like something Zhou Ci would ask, because he was such a tolerant and warm person.

"Yeah." Zhou Minghe nodded. "So, don't feel burdened. Feelings are hard to explain. Just like when he suddenly married someone else and had children, the moment you broke up, your path was completely off track."

"If he knew that you pursued me madly when I was with him, he wouldn't be angry?" My eyes flushed red.

Zhou Minghe's handsome face froze for a second, and he said awkwardly, "I didn't mention this past, and you shouldn't mention it again. My uncle once asked me when we got together, and I lied to him and said we ran into each other at a technology exchange conference after you came to Shanghai. He believed me."

Zhou Minghe's words surprised me. It seemed that he still cared about his uncle very much, so he lied.

I leaned lightly in his arms, bowed my head and said, "That's good. I don't want him to be disappointed in me."

"Are you still thinking about him?" Zhou Minghe's body tensed up and he stared at me dangerously.

I met his gaze, my heart clear and bright: "Of course not, I just don't want him to see the darkness of human nature. I hope his heart is soft and warm."

My green tea speech was like an arrow that shot into Zhou Minghe's heart. The look in his eyes when he looked at me gradually changed from sharp to affectionate.

He flicked my cheek lightly with his fingers: "Jingjing, sometimes, I think you are a very interesting person. You are even a little kind."

I was stunned for a moment, then laughed at myself and said, "I don't want to be a kind person, and I hope you don't think so."

"No, that's what I think. You are not someone who stabs others in the back, but you are also smart enough to prevent being hurt. Just like now, you are still thinking about my uncle. Sometimes, a rash decision on your part can turn a bad thing around. You think you didn't do anything, but you changed the outcome." While Zhou Minghe was speaking, he lowered his head and kissed the tip of my nose. Then, he moved down and kissed my lips.

My mind went blank, and Zhou Minghe's words, like sand thrown into a lake, echoed softly in my heart.

Not actively harming others is my bottom line.

But that doesn’t mean I have to be a good person.

Zhou Minghe kissed me for a long time, and I found it difficult to breathe. Suddenly, my body also had some reactions.

"Ah..." I let out a low cry, and the next second, I felt my lower abdomen falling down, and an indescribable tingling sensation terrified me.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Minghe was startled and stood up quickly.

"I... my stomach hurts, take me to the hospital." I was at a loss, and Zhou Minghe's handsome face turned pale with fright in an instant. He quickly took out his cell phone.

"Do you want to call an ambulance?" I asked him.

"No, I'll call Ji Mu and I'll take you to the hospital now. The ambulance will take time to go back and forth." Zhou Minghe said anxiously.

After a while, Ji Mu's call was connected.

He taught Zhou Minghe over the phone what to do to alleviate my pain and accidents.

I lay in the back seat, feeling panicked. In my previous life, I had only been pregnant but had never experienced childbirth, so I had no idea about this point of knowledge.

"Don't be afraid, we'll be at the hospital soon, just hold on a little longer." Zhou Minghe comforted me while driving.

Of course I couldn't affect his driving, so I just whispered to him, "I'm fine, just focus on driving. The baby won't come out so soon."

When the car arrived at the hospital, Ji Mu's car seemed to have just arrived. He hurriedly got out of the car and ran to our side.

"Jingjing, how are you? Does your stomach still hurt?" Ji Mu asked me in a low voice.

"It hurt just now, but it doesn't hurt as much now," I answered in a low voice.

Zhou Minghe asked Ji Mu in panic, "Is she about to give birth? But the baby isn't full-term yet. Isn't it too early to give birth now?"

Ji Mu said in a deep voice: "She is pregnant with twins. The baby may be born at any time even if it is not full-term. Don't be afraid. The hospital currently has corresponding treatment measures for premature babies."

"Really? Does she want to give birth naturally or..." Zhou Minghe was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead. His voice became hoarse halfway through his words and he looked at me worriedly.

At this moment, I was arranged to lie on the cart. I was very scared. Although it was summer, the cold air made me shiver uncontrollably after entering the hall.

Ji Mu followed and helped stabilize the cart while saying to Zhou Minghe, "We need to decide based on her condition. Let's go get a checkup first."

"Then do I need to call him over?" Zhou Minghe suddenly said after taking a few steps.

Ji Mu's expression froze for a moment, and he looked down at me.

I was lying on the cart at the moment. When Ji Mu looked down at me, I was shocked by his eyes. Was it my illusion?

Ji Mu seemed to be looking at the person he loved. That look of deep affection mixed with worry and heartache temporarily put my fear at ease, as if he was my savior. With him around, I didn't need to be afraid anymore.

I knew who Zhou Minghe was talking about. I bit my lip and said to him, "Just tell him. It's his business whether he comes or not."

Thinking about the last time I had surgery, he didn’t show up because of his status. Today, I am giving birth, and I can’t guarantee whether he will come.

Although the child is his, I have always firmly believed that the child is mine.

Zhou Jihe frowned and said, "I'll give him a call."
