122: The child that shouldn't be conceived

Chapter 122: The Unwanted Child

Calculating the days, her period seemed overdue.

Yet, there was no sign of it.

It felt like there was only one explanation.

Perhaps, she was pregnant?

The thought of that possibility sent a wave of panic through her.

If she were pregnant now, it would be troublesome.

She hadn't decided if she wanted to bear Li Zhiyan's child.

Wu Yuexian covered her forehead, her head aching.

This matter seemed truly difficult…

Wu Yuexian only snapped back to reality after Liu Xiaoyun opened her eyes.

“Xianxian, what's wrong? You seem distracted.”

“Nothing…”

Wu Yuexian said, flustered.

Liu Xiaoyun felt like she had something on her mind…

But she didn't dwell on it. No matter what happened now, Li Zhiyan would help solve it.

She really didn't need to overthink things.

After washing up in the bathroom, the two went downstairs.

The other girls also came down one after another.

Auntie Liu felt a deep sense of reluctance, but she had to go to work now, and she was busy.

She didn't have time to accompany these children anymore.

“Xiao Ting, come home often when you have time.”

“Mengmeng, you can come to mom's place anytime you have time.”

“And all of you, you can come often.”

Ji Zhiting hummed in agreement, feeling a little reluctant. She truly was a bit unwilling to leave this life here.

However, there was one minor issue: her sister had been following her around lately.

She hadn't had time to discuss things with Li Zhiyan.

Once she returned to the Demon Capital, she would definitely create more special memories with Li Zhiyan.

“Alright, let's eat breakfast.”

Auntie Liu motioned for the girls to sit down.

For their last meal at Chao Lake, everyone felt a mix of emotions.

Wu Yuexian had grown up here with Li Zhiyan, so her feelings for this place were the deepest.

At this moment, her heart was filled with deep reluctance.

A long while later, Li Zhiyan came down from upstairs.

A portion of food had been specially left for him on the table.

After Li Zhiyan finished eating, he reluctantly said to his parents, “Dad, Mom, I’m leaving.”

“Go on.”

Li Yunping sighed. Although he was a bit reluctant, it was often inconvenient for parents to always stay with their children.

He watched as everyone got into the car, and only after the extended rolls-royce drove away did he return to the courtyard.

…

On the way, Liu Xiaoyun was filled with anticipation. Once they returned to the Demon Capital, she would have a chance to make something happen with Li Zhiyan, right?

After all, their relationship was now officially established.

Ji Mengting, on the other hand, felt very disappointed.

During this time, she had secretly spoken to Li Zhiyan about them being together.

But Li Zhiyan had always brushed her off.

He neither accepted nor rejected her.

This didn't make Ji Mengting feel despair, but it made her feel like it was a never-ending journey.

Why was he so cold to her?

At this moment, Ji Mengting casually browsed the web, only to see a 404 page not found error.

She knew that this webpage must have contained some illicit information.

Some things just couldn't be said openly.

Meanwhile, beside her…

Zhou Lili also felt that same deep sense of disappointment.

Li Zhiyan's attitude towards her truly made her feel like an invisible person.

She still had a chance. On the way, Li Zhiyan started chatting with Chi Wanwan.

“Baby, have you arrived in the Demon Capital?”

Chi Wanwan: “I’m heading back this afternoon. My period came, so it’s a good chance to rest for a few days.”

Seeing Chi Wanwan’s reply, Li Zhiyan couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed.

Indeed, getting pregnant sometimes seemed simple to talk about.

But actually getting pregnant wasn't such an easy thing.

Perhaps it would require a long period of effort.

“Then, after your period passes, we’ll continue to try.”

In the hotel, looking at the message from Li Zhiyan, Chi Wanwan felt very shy. They had already worked hard enough during this time.

Every day, they were striving to have a child.

But she just hadn’t gotten pregnant, and this made Chi Wanwan feel deeply helpless.

However, sometimes pregnancy was a matter of fate.

Perhaps it would happen unexpectedly.

…

In the afternoon, the rolls-royce stopped in front of the River View Villa.

After everyone got out of the car, the driver then took Wu Yuexian, Liu Xiaoyun, and Su Xiaojin to the company. They hadn't been back to the company in a long time, and the company had been operating for quite a while now.

Ji Mengting and Zhou Lili also left.

In a flash, only Ji Zhiting and Zhou Mengmeng were left in the villa.

There were still a few days until school started, so they would be staying at home during this time.

Li Zhiyan knew that he couldn't have a child with Chi Wanwan right now.

So playing games with them to pass the time was a very necessary thing.

Thinking of this…

Li Zhiyan also began to feel a little excited.

It had indeed been a long time since he had played games with Ji Zhiting.

Zhou Mengmeng knew that she shouldn't try to compete for anything.

“I’m going out to do some shopping…”

Zhou Mengmeng greeted Li Zhiyan and Ji Zhiting, then went out shopping.

Li Zhiyan knew very well why Zhou Mengmeng went out.

This girl always thought of others.

“Let’s go.”

Li Zhiyan looked at Ji Zhiting, who was wearing a pink down jacket, and took her hand as they walked upstairs.

“Um, should we go to your room or my room?”

At this moment, both of them had a tacit understanding.

They both knew exactly what was going to happen next.

Ji Zhiting felt very shy at this moment.

Although she had adapted to such things before, it had been too long since…

“Let’s go to my room.”

Upon reaching the room, Li Zhiyan took off his jacket.

Ji Zhiting also took off her thick pink down jacket.

Winter seemed to be getting colder and colder now.

If one didn't dress warmly, it would be particularly uncomfortable outside.

Looking at the expectant Ting Bao in front of him, Li Zhiyan gently embraced Ting Bao's slender waist.

Then, he lightly kissed Ting Bao’s forehead.

And Ting Bao also responded somewhat awkwardly.

However, soon all the past memories resurfaced in her mind.

Everything that followed was very natural.

…

In the evening, Ting Bao fell asleep early; she was truly exhausted.

Li Zhiyan, on the other hand, went to the observation deck upstairs to enjoy the view.

Not long after, Zhou Mengmeng came from behind.

Looking at Li Zhiyan in front of her, Zhou Mengmeng felt a deep warmth in her heart.

With Li Zhiyan, she had truly received too much love.

And now, Auntie Liu had also recognized her as her goddaughter.

Li Zhiyan and his family had truly given her so much warmth.

“Were you happy spending New Year’s at my house this time?”

Li Zhiyan tugged on Zhou Mengmeng’s twin pigtails and asked.

Zhou Mengmeng nodded softly.

“Mm…”

Li Zhiyan felt that Zhou Mengmeng’s hair was still as thick as ever.

Her twin pigtails were fine no matter how much he pulled them.

“From now on, on Sundays or other times, if you want to go home, you can go home.”

“That’s your home.”

Zhou Mengmeng’s face was filled with longing…

Meeting Li Zhiyan was truly the luckiest thing in her life.

“Alright, it’s cold, let’s go back. Go rest in your room.”

Zhou Mengmeng’s pretty face flushed slightly.

Then, the two went downstairs.

…

At this moment, Wu Yuexian felt an immense headache.

When they were almost home, she asked the driver to pull over.

“What’s wrong, Xianxian?”

Su Xiaojin asked curiously, unsure of what had happened.

“I want to get out and walk for a bit. I’ll be home soon. You all go back first.”

Seeing Wu Yuexian like this, Su Xiaojin didn’t think much of it…

After getting out of the car, Wu Yuexian went to a pharmacy and bought an early pregnancy test.

She planned to test herself after returning home. On the way home, she felt incredibly flustered.

Her period still hadn't arrived.

Could she really have fallen for it…

The thought of that possibility gave Wu Yuexian a headache.

Upon arriving home, she went straight to her room and took the test.

…

A long while later, Wu Yuexian eagerly looked at the result.

But the result left her completely stunned.

It took her a long time to come back to her senses.

She was pregnant…

“How could this be? It’s such a coincidence. What should I do?”

Thinking of this, Wu Yuexian felt a wave of confusion.

When that boy told her those twisted theories, she absolutely shouldn't have believed him.

Before, everything was fine when they did those things.

But now she was pregnant. What should she do in the future?

“No one can know about this…”

Wu Yuexian knew that she had to hide this matter well.

“But, Xiao Yan will definitely notice something is wrong…”

During the first three months of pregnancy, one had to be very careful, but for Li Zhiyan, he definitely wouldn't be. If she kept refusing him, it would definitely arouse his suspicion.

This child really shouldn't have been conceived…

For the rest of the time, Wu Yuexian's heart was in a constant state of turmoil until she slowly drifted off to sleep.

…

The next few days passed peacefully.

Ting Bao could be said to have truly experienced what she had missed during that period.

After school started, Li Zhiyan took Ji Zhiting and Zhou Mengmeng to school.

Before going to school, Li Zhiyan took the two of them to a milk tea shop.

Upon arriving at the shop, Ji Zhiting found a seat and sat down with Li Zhiyan and Zhou Mengmeng.

Soon, a cup of milk tea appeared in front of each of them.

“This milk tea shop’s business has always been very good, and now that school has started, there’s even more foot traffic.”

In the blink of an eye, the new semester of 2024 began, and Li Zhiyan also felt that time truly passed quickly.

Looking at the bustling commercial street outside the window, many things came to mind.

“Let’s call Liu Xiaoyan and Song Zhenzhen to join us too.”

Ji Zhiting sent a WeChat message to her two roommates, and soon, Liu Xiaoyan and Song Zhenzhen arrived at the milk tea shop.

“Brother!”

“Brother.”

When the two saw Li Zhiyan, they both greeted him very enthusiastically.

In their hearts…

They were both very grateful to Li Zhiyan, because they truly benefited from him, simply saving a large sum of money on cosmetics.

Although, for Li Zhiyan, these amounts were insignificant and not worth mentioning.

“Long time no see, how was your New Year?”

Liu Xiaoyan said somewhat helplessly, “Don’t even mention it, brother. At home, my family kept trying to set me up on blind dates, saying the other party had good family conditions. I hid for a long time to get away.”

Liu Xiaoyan really wanted to find a rich man.

After witnessing Li Zhiyan’s wealth, her standards naturally rose.

Of course, she knew that Li Zhiyan definitely wouldn't be interested in women of her and Song Zhenzhen's caliber.

However, she had to try hard to find a man with a higher income.

“Anyway, I want to marry a man who earns several million a year.”

Li Zhiyan didn't dampen Liu Xiaoyan's enthusiasm. After all, love was unpredictable, and there was still hope for her to marry a man with an annual salary of several million.

Song Zhenzhen, on the other hand, had a very good New Year.

“I was very happy at home. My cousin and I often chatted about college life. Being able to know you all is the luckiest thing in my life.”

Soon, two more cups of milk tea were brought over.

“Ah, Xiao Ting, it’s so nice to have you around. We can drink milk tea for free at the university.”

Although they both didn't drink much milk tea to maintain their figures, being able to get free milk tea at the shop whenever they wanted felt wonderful.

The few of them chatted…

Li Zhiyan noticed that Zhou Mengmeng had really changed a lot now.

Her beautiful eyes seemed to be filled with confidence…

The old Zhou Mengmeng always dared not speak and felt afraid of socializing.

But now, she seemed to be slowly returning to normal.

This made Li Zhiyan very happy; it was truly a good thing.

After dropping them off at school, Li Zhiyan returned to the River View Villa. Everyone was busy now.

Li Zhiyan felt a bit empty in the villa again.

Then, he called Chi Wanwan.

“Hello, Aunt Wanwan.”

“What are you doing?”

Chi Wanwan, who was cooking in her apartment in the Demon Capital, said gently, “I’m cooking. Do you want to come over for dinner later?”

Li Zhiyan hummed. He truly loved Aunt Wanwan's cooking.

“Aunt Wanwan, I’m coming over now.”

Driving the Lamborghini SVJ all the way to the apartment complex’s garage, Li Zhiyan took the elevator upstairs.

When the door opened…

Looking at Chi Wanwan's beautiful face, Li Zhiyan then walked forward very proactively…

And hugged Chi Wanwan.

Their eyes met, and Chi Wanwan also knew what Li Zhiyan wanted to do.

However, at this moment, it was not very convenient.

Although the two of them had completely unlocked all aspects of their relationship, one of her relatives would hinder them at certain times.

“Don’t mess around, I’m cooking in the kitchen…”

“Besides, if there’s a fire later, Auntie won’t be able to help you.”
