  Si Zhengting was burning with anxiety. It was an inexplicable feeling, and all he wanted was to get to her side in an instant.

  But when he finally reached Beijing’s Private Hospital for Women and Children and stepped past the ward’s doorway, he suddenly paused in his footsteps. Funnily enough, he had a mixed feeling of apprehension and expectation.

  He and she…… had a child now.

  They had a child now.

  Standing outside the ward and peering past the glass, he saw that Zhuang Nainai was lying on the bed, and while her face was still rather pale, she was sleeping soundly. It was only at this moment that his heart settled down.

  He was a little afraid of entering the room and decided to remain outside the ward. Gazing at Zhuang Nainai’s face, he saw that her expression was rather peaceful and finally stopped worrying. After moving his gaze downwards, it rested where her stomach was.

  Even though she was under the sheets, he felt as if he was able to see through them and right at the little life that she was nursing in her womb.

  Si Zhengting’s eyes blurred slightly. In these moments, he was simply thankful to the heavens and to his fate, which presented him with such a gift to ease the tension in their relationship, which was almost reaching a breaking point.

  Now that they were expecting a child, Nainai would be less resistant to him, right?

  He was staring inside when he heard Su Yanbin’s voice coming from behind him. “Leader Ting, since you’re here, why aren’t you going in?”


  Si Zhengting turned around and saw Su Yanbin greeting him while holding a flask of hot water as well as a few glasses.

  Si Zhengting suddenly felt a strange feeling welling up in him. He couldn’t place a finger on what the uncomfortable feeling was, and so he followed Su Yanbin into the room to be able to look at her closely.

  She seemed tired and had fallen asleep, but her eyelashes were trembling, and tears were rolling down her eyes as if she was having a bad dream.

  Si Zhengting looked at the tears, then noticed that her eyeballs were moving. It was then he realized that…… in fact, she was awake.

  But her pretending to be asleep like this…… it was because she didn’t want to see him, right?

  All of a sudden, he felt as if he was the worst scumbag on earth!

  He also finally realized why he had felt strange when he had seen Su Yanbin earlier.

  It was his own wife who was pregnant, but the one who had sent her to the hospital, the one who had accompanied her…… had not been him. The first person to know of her pregnancy, the one who had been able to share in the joy with her…… had not been him.

  And she…… must be blaming him.

  Blaming him for leaving without saying goodbye, blaming him for his bad mood……

  Si Zhengting felt a bitter stuffiness in his heart. It was as if he had just eaten Chinese goldthread, a bitter herb, and the bitterness was eating away at him intensely.

  Si Zhengting swallowed as he cast a glance at the bed. His mouth twitching, he turned around and faced Su Yanbin. “Who’s the physician attending to her?”


  Su Yanbin turned immediately. “I’ll bring you to him.”


  Just as he finished saying this, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Lin Xi’er came storming in. “What happened? Is Nainai okay? Why did she faint? Why did she have miscarriage symptoms?! Is the child alright?”


  Her string of questions made it difficult for Su Yanbin and Si Zhengting to reply.

  In the end, Su Yanbin looked at Si Zhengting and said, “The physician said that Sister-in-law had too much emotional fluctuation, which affected her health…… and thus caused her to have miscarriage symptoms.”


  Too much emotional fluctuation?

  Si Zhengting thought about the issue with the design drafts that had happened earlier. She had borne all the injustices by herself, silently……
