In short, the baby was hungry too.
Naturally, she felt the hunger as well. After Shen Qi woke up, she stared at the unfamiliar scene in front of her for a while before remembering what had happened today. Then, she rubbed her eyes and got up before looking around the empty house.
“Yan?”
No one responded. Isn’t Yan back yet? Shen Qi felt confused. When she was about to call Yan on the phone, the door of the kitchen was pushed open, and Yan walked out with two plates in her hands.
“You’re finally up? Hurry up and wash your hand. We’re going to eat soon.”
Shen Qi was stunned upon hearing that. “Is it time for dinner? When did you come back?”
“It’s been a long time since I got back. I saw that you were sleeping so soundly, so I didn’t want to wake you.” Yan smiled as she put the dishes on the table and greeted Shen Qi as if she was her pet. “Qi, don’t sit around anymore. Get up and wash your hands to eat. I’ve cooked some rice and sauteed some vegetables. Why don’t you go get the cutleries now? You will need to wash the dishes later, alright?”
Shen Qi had a dumbfounded expression, but when she heard Yan saying that, she immediately recovered to her senses and stood up with a smile.”Of course.”
She got up and went to the kitchen to get some cutleries before sitting down to eat with Yan.
This was the first time Shen Qi tried Yan’s cooking, and she realized that her cooking was quite good. While eating, Yan said, “I’ve cooked several dishes which I don’t usually cook. How is it? My cooking is quite nice, isn’t it?”
“Yeah.”
The two of them didn’t say much during the meal—they just focused on filling their stomachs. When Yan saw that Shen Qi had almost finished eating, she asked, “You said you have something to tell me. What’s the matter? Don’t tell me that you quarreled with Ye Moxuan again.”
Hearing that, Shen Qi stopped what she was doing and raised her eyes to look at Yan.
Suddenly, she put down her cutleries and stared at Yan seriously.
Yan continued to put food in her mouth, thinking that it was a correct decision that she hadn’t asked Shen Qi before the meal; otherwise, Shen Qi would not have eaten anything.
“I don’t have anyone else to talk to. There’s no one else I can confide in except you. Yan, there is something I want to ask your opinion on.”
After Yan’s mouth was full, she picked up the bowl and took a sip of soup. “Go ahead.”
Shen Qi felt miserable because she had to keep everything to herself. She thought for a while before finally asking, “Have you always felt that Ye Moxuan and I are able to live a good life?”
Hearing that, Yan nodded righteously. “That’s for sure—you are a married couple. You love him, and he loves you too. What else are you supposed to do, if not living a good life?”
“But, what if I tell you that I’m pregnant?”
Yan was stunned for a moment, but her reaction was also quick. “What’s wrong with that? Isn’t this better? After you give birth to his child, your position will also become stable. We’ll see how Han Xueyou can sabotage your relationship then.”
After hearing that, Shen Qi suddenly felt a little sad. She lowered her eyes and spoke in a tone that seemed to be mocking herself.
“What if I tell you that the child’s father is not Ye Moxuan?”
“So what? It doesn’t matter—” Yan replied immediately, but after she said that, she stopped mid-sentence abruptly. She merely sat there with wide eyes, looking as if she was stunned.
After a long time, she swallowed the food in her mouth with a grunt before looking at Shen Qi in embarrassment. “I’m sorry, I seem to have missed what you said just now. Can you please repeat it?”
Shen Qi smiled bitterly at her. “It’s hard to believe, isn’t it? Isn’t it particularly hard to accept that we are a married couple, yet I am pregnant with someone else’s child?”
“It’s not like that. You…” Yan found that she was a little bit incoherent. What on earth is going on? Initially, Han Xueyou is already causing a big problem, but Shen Qi is actually pregnant with someone else’s child. Will Ye Moxuan mind?
For a moment, Yan, who encountered such an incident for the first time, didn’t know what to say to comfort Shen Qi.
“Even you find it incredulous, let alone him.” Shen Qi lowered her eyes and batted her long eyelashes while letting out an incredibly bitter laugh as she bit her lower lip. “Maybe this has been destined.”
“Wait… What the hell is going on? Why are you pregnant with another man’s child? Shen Qi, did you cheat on him?”
Yan couldn’t fathom how a married woman would be pregnant with another man’s child. Hence, she really couldn’t think of anything other than cheating.
“Actually this is not my first marriage. I have been divorced once.”
Yan was speechless upon hearing that.
“So, you’re saying that the child belongs to your ex-husband?”
Shen Qi shook her head again and opened her mouth. Since they had reached this part of the story, she had nothing to hide anymore. But the fact that the child’s father was Ye Linhan was a secret that Shen Qi would bring to the grave.
Thinking of this, she bit her lip and answered, “I also don’t know who the father of the child is.”
“What the hell is going on? Hurry up and explain! You are making me so anxious!”
Yan thought that Shen Qi just had a small fight with Ye Moxuan, but who knew that there was such a long story between them. At this moment, Yan felt anxious looking at Shen Qi’s calm demeanor, and she hoped that she could read Shen Qi’s mind to search through all her memories.
Hence, Shen Qi gave a brief explanation of what had happened to her.
“That’s it. Everything was a shock to me. When I found out about it, it was too late. At first, I thought about having an abortion, but the hospital told me that I could not have an abortion, otherwise there would be a risk of excessive bleeding. After thinking about it, I realized that the child is innocent, so I decided to keep it.”
Yan gulped hard and suddenly uttered, “Give me some time to digest this for a while. There’s too much information here. It’s a little… overwhelming.”
With that, Yan got up and directly went back to her room.
Looking at her slender figure, Shen Qi suddenly felt miserable.
After telling Yan about this, she is probably disgusted by me and will think that I am a shameless and annoying b*tch.
After thinking about it, Shen Qi sighed and got up to tidy up the table before moving the dishes into the kitchen. After all, she had promised Yan to clean up after eating.
After washing these dishes and chopsticks, I will just leave silently.
It’s better than staying here and annoying her.
Shen Qi did the dishes very quickly. After doing the dishes, she returned to the living room to get her own things and prepared to leave.
When she walked to the doorstep, she heard the door of the room open with a click as Yan walked out. When Yan saw that Shen Qi was about to leave, she asked, “Where are you going in the middle of the night? ”
Hearing that, Shen Qi’s movements stopped. Then, she turned her head to look at Yan, and her lips moved.
“I—”
Yan narrowed her eyes in confusion and looked at Shen Qi. When she saw the bag in Shen Qi’s hand, her eyes widened. “Are you leaving? What’s the matter?”
Shen Qi couldn’t speak for a while. She thought Yan hated her, so she wanted to leave quietly so that she wouldn’t be a hindrance.
