Yunxia was holding a test report with a deathly pale face.

She is pregnant.

Yunxia frowned, feeling a blank in her mind. What should she do? This child could only be Zhou Chiye's.

She rubbed her forehead, pressing her fingertips hard against her temples, a surge of irritation rising within her.

"Tsk, what a nuisance." She cursed under her breath, crumpled the report into a ball, then suddenly unfolded it again, staring at the line of text for a long time, her brows furrowing even more: "That bastard Zhou Chiye..."

The report showed that the baby was already five weeks old, but she had already decided to break up with Zhou Chiye completely, and now another baby had appeared.

Yunxia felt agitated, but subconsciously she touched her lower abdomen, where a small life was already growing.

She sighed. She shouldn't have come; a relationship between her and Zhou Chiye was impossible.

She then decided to schedule a time to abort the child.

After returning home.

Yunxia kicked off her high heels and threw herself onto the sofa, too lazy to even put her shoes away.

Her phone vibrated on the coffee table, displaying the name "Zhou Chiye" on the screen. Without even looking at it, she hung up immediately.

"Is this never going to end?" She scratched her hair in frustration, then long-pressed the number and added it to her blacklist. The world finally became a little quieter. She closed her eyes and leaned back on the sofa, her mind filled with that test report.

A dozen minutes later, a notification popped up on my phone.

She glanced at it, her pupils suddenly contracting. Zhou Chiye had suspended work for six months, followed by the word "explosive".

Clicking through leads to a statement just released by his studio, saying that he needs to take a break for personal reasons and all subsequent business and travel plans have been cancelled.

Yunxia tightened her grip on her phone. What was that bastard up to now?

Frustrated, she tossed her phone aside, closed her eyes, but the sensation in her lower abdomen grew ever clearer, like a thorn pricking her chest and making her feel suffocated.

A little while later, the doorbell rang.

Yunxia suddenly opened her eyes, a strange anger rising in her heart. The doorbell was ringing urgently, and it couldn't be anyone else but the person she had just blocked.

She didn't move, but the doorbell kept ringing like a death knell.

"Yunxia, ​​open the door." Zhou Chiye's voice came from outside the door, a little hoarse: "I know you're in there."

Yunxia gritted her teeth, got up, and suddenly pulled open the door.

The man stood at the door, with faint dark circles under his eyes, wearing only a simple white T-shirt and a baseball cap.

"Is there something you need?" Yunxia asked coldly.

Zhou Chiye looked up, his gaze fixed on her from under the brim of his hat, his voice tinged with barely perceptible tension: "Did you see the statement? I've turned down all my work. For the next six months, all I want to do is be with you. I want to win you back."

Yunxia was stunned and subconsciously took a half step back: "Zhou Chiye, are you out of your mind? You're giving up your job for me?"

Zhou Chiye reached out to touch her, but Yunxia turned her head away. His hand froze in mid-air, and his Adam's apple bobbed: "To me, nothing is more important than you right now."

Yunxia's tone was even colder: "Don't give me that. Your career is so hard-earned, and you're using this to pursue me? Zhou Chiye, you're trying to manipulate my sense of guilt."

Zhou Chiye withdrew his fingers, which curled slightly, and said in a deep voice, "I didn't mean that."

"I just want to tell you that you are very important to me, I don't want to lose you, don't feel guilty, these are all the results of my careful consideration."

"Yunxia, ​​I'm really happy when I'm with you. I'm serious this time."

Yunxia stared at him, her fingers clenched: "Zhou Chiye, we're over. Don't waste your energy on me."

“We’ve known each other for less than six months and spent only two or three months together. You’re just overly excited right now. Once this initial excitement wears off, you’ll be the one who regrets it.”

She raised her hand to close the door, but Zhou Chiye stopped her with his arm. The bloodshot in his eyes was clearly visible: "I gave myself a chance to let go, but I couldn't. How do you know I'm just interested and not serious?"

"Yunxia, ​​please stop running away from me, okay?"

Yunxia was so angry at his words that she raised her voice and said, "You make it sound so easy. You're a public figure. How many people are watching you? What about your fans? You think they can just stop like that? Can they accept that?"

Zhou Chiye's brows furrowed suddenly, and his tone hardened: "Does that mean I have to remain unmarried and never pursue the person I want to love for the rest of my life just to be worthy of them?"

He took a half step forward, his eyes surging with suppressed anger: "Yunxia, ​​you should know my temperament. Once I've made up my mind, I won't change it. What I want is you, not to live forever in other people's expectations."

"If I lose a woman I truly love because of this, I will definitely regret it in the future."

Yunxia looked at him, and her heart felt increasingly heavy.

She thought of the little life inside her again, and the irritability that had just been suppressed surged up again, like a tangled mess that made it hard for her to breathe.

The child came at the worst possible time. Their relationship was already complicated, and now an unsolvable knot has been added to it.

She took a deep breath, suppressed her surging emotions, and pushed him hard: "Go away, I don't want to see you right now."

Zhou Chiye stumbled half a step after being pushed by her, and looked at her slightly reddened eyes: "Yunxia, ​​I will not give up."

She didn't say anything more, and slammed the door shut, shutting out all his questions.

Leaning against the door, she placed her hand on her lower abdomen again, her eyes filled with a blank stare.

Yunxia took three days off from work and scheduled an abortion for the morning after tomorrow.

Yunxia drew the curtains and locked herself in her room, staring blankly at the test report over and over again. She wanted to drink but didn't dare, even though she knew the child wasn't going to stay.

A follow-up statement from his studio popped up on her phone. Fans were already in an uproar. She scrolled through the screen, her fingertip lingering on an old photo of him. He was smiling broadly at an awards ceremony, looking triumphant and arrogant.

At that time, he stood under the spotlight, his whole body seemingly coated with a layer of golden light, and he was the object of countless people's admiration.

"What a terrible thing," she muttered under her breath, slamming her phone face down on the table.

She closed her eyes, and the feeling of heaviness in her lower abdomen returned, as if it knew her unpleasant mood.
