Extra—The Story of Jiang Zhi (Part 1)

In the year Jiang Zhi turned thirty-five, she accidentally became pregnant.

She looked at the two red lines on the pregnancy test and fell into a long, deep contemplation.

Before she was with Chen Yun, she had stated in advance that she did not intend to have children in this life.

Chen Yun said that he didn't like children either, so the two of them reached a consensus.

Therefore, for the ten-plus years they had been married, they had always used contraception, even though both sets of parents had put a lot of pressure on them.

But she never expected that she would accidentally conceive.

Jiang Zhi leaned against the window and slowly hugged her own shoulders.

She did not know how to be a mother to a child, nor did she know how to be responsible for a child.

She also worried that if she had a child, she would be like her own mother, unable to balance the child and her own freedom.

Not everyone can be a good parent.

Jiang Zhi looked back on her childhood; in fact, she was different from most children who lived under someone else's roof and suffered bullying.

Her maternal grandparents were kind, and her aunts and uncles were all very loving toward her.

Yet she just knew that this was not her own home.

Jiang Zhi still remembered that when she was in elementary school, she would use the back of her notebooks once the front was full, unwilling to speak up and ask her grandmother or aunt for new ones.

Only when the back was also used up and she had no choice would she speak up in a small voice.

In fact, she knew in her heart that as long as she asked, her aunt and uncle would definitely buy them for her.

But the little girl she was perhaps knew she was living under someone else's roof, which was why she was so insecure and sensitive.

It wasn't just notebooks; there were also erasers and pencils, and sometimes the teacher would even scold her because her pencils were too short to write clearly.

This situation lasted for about two years, until Juzi discovered it and told her Aunt Si Rong.

From then on, every once in a while, her aunt would buy her a large supply of stationery at once and let her keep it herself.

She would never be able to repay her aunt's kindness in her entire life.

But Jiang Zhi still did not know how to be a mother, because no matter how good her aunt was, she was not her mother.

Regarding Jiang Qi, she felt only deep disappointment and alienation in her heart.

After Chen Yun got off work, he turned on the lights in the house.

He noticed at a glance that Jiang Zhi was likely in a bad mood, so after entering, he first shared some interesting things from his workplace with her, then went into the kitchen to cook.

Through the translucent sliding door of the kitchen, Jiang Zhi could see Chen Yun skillfully chopping vegetables and then tossing the wok.

He would definitely be a good father, Jiang Zhi thought.

Although Chen Yun always said he didn't like children, during the Lunar New Year, she had clearly seen the love in his eyes when he teased the daughter of his cousin Si Nian.

If she selfishly got rid of this child, it would be unfair to Chen Yun.

After struggling for about a week, Jiang Zhi told Chen Yun about her pregnancy.

"What... what do you think?" Chen Yun's large hands resting on his knees tightened involuntarily.

He had already prepared himself not to have children in this life, so they had never discussed such a topic.

But now that he suddenly learned his wife was carrying their flesh and blood, the crystallization of their love, and if it were born, it might be as cute as Niu Niu, an indescribable feeling for this child sprouted in his heart.

"I... want to know your thoughts." Jiang Zhi dared not look into his eyes.

Chen Yun let out a silent, long breath, then pulled her into his arms. "Although it is our child, it is in your belly, so you have the full authority to decide; I once promised you that."

The two of them went to the hospital and scheduled an abortion.

On the day they went to the hospital for the procedure, Jiang Zhi was very nervous; her mood was inexplicably irritable from early in the morning, and she found fault with everything.

It was as if there were two little people in her heart: one said she was cruel for having the heart to deprive such a young life; the other urged her to have the surgery as soon as possible, as she had inherited Jiang Qi's traits and might also be a selfish, bad mother in the future.

"Don't be afraid, I'll wait for you at the door."

Before entering the operating room, Chen Yun said.

Jiang Zhi was pushed into the operating room, and she only had time to see Chen Yun's slightly reddened eyes.
