Chapter 1913: Li Xueer is Pregnant

Only then did she open her eyes; it was just as she thought, the cinema lights were all on, and the seats that had been full were now empty, save for the two of them.

A cleaner stood beside her, holding a broom with a mournful expression.

She hurriedly stood up, and the two of them left the cinema.

Once outside, the evening breeze blew against her face, and Li Xueer felt her stomach churning violently.

"Ugh, ugh—"

Li Xueer leaned against a tree, retching uncontrollably.

"What's wrong with you?"

Zichen patted her back from behind and asked if she had eaten something bad.

"That shouldn't be it, we ate the same things..."

She seemed to think of something, and her small face instantly turned pale!

Zichen also thought of it: "Could you be..."

"No!"

Li Xueer hurriedly denied it: "It's not that, don't overthink it, I know my own body!"

Since she was so certain, Zichen did not continue to speak.

A flash of disappointment crossed his eyes, but it vanished in an instant; Li Xueer was immersed in her own thoughts, her mind in chaos, and she didn't notice.

Li Xueer had something on her mind, so naturally, she no longer had the heart to continue playing, and the two prepared to go back.

When they were almost home, Li Xueer said: "You go back first, I'm going to the pharmacy to buy some medicine."

Zichen felt it was better not to take medicine casually; it would be best to go to the hospital for a check-up, listen to the doctor's advice, and then treat the symptoms accordingly.

She insisted: "No need, this is an old problem of mine. My stomach is uncomfortable, so I'll just take some medicine. You don't need to worry about it, go back first."

"I'll go with you!"

Such a reasonable request was still rejected: "You don't need to accompany me, you go back first."

Zichen looked at her suspiciously, but fortunately, he did not continue to insist, and he went back on his own.

Li Xueer made sure Zichen had driven far away before she quickly walked toward the pharmacy.

She went to the pharmacy and bought a box of early pregnancy test strips, placed them in the innermost layer of her bag, and only then went home.

Li Xueer snuck into the bathroom and didn't come out for a long time!

Zichen called out from outside: "Are you okay?"

"No, nothing's wrong!"

She looked at the two lines on the pregnancy test stick and felt like crying but had no tears.

She was really pregnant, what should she do?

Her mood was not the slightest bit joyful; now there was only anxiety and unease!

There was a child; according to the agreement they signed, giving birth to a child would net at least fifty million, but she didn't want to give birth!

Three years later, when the agreement expired, her marriage to Zichen would be void, and by then she would have to be a single mother, or simply be separated from her own child.

Just thinking about being separated from the child made her heart ache terribly; if it were to come to that, it would be better not to give birth at all.

Li Xueer regretted it; she regretted signing that kind of agreement. She herself was raised by her father, and she didn't want her child to grow up lonely without a mother by their side; that would be too pitiful.

She was certain that the Sheng Family would never let her take the child away.

When the three-year term expired, she would be swept out the door, and by then, a woman of equal social standing to Sheng Zichen would marry in to be a stepmother to her child.

With a stepmother comes a stepfather; her child would continue her life, perhaps even more miserably than her own.

Although she lived in poverty from a young age, she still had a father who loved her, so she wasn't lacking in love. If her child didn't have her by their side, and later the stepmother had her own children, her child would have no one to love them...

It must be said that a woman's imagination is always rich.

In a flash, Li Xueer thought of many things, but none of them were good; no matter how she looked at it, she felt this accidental child shouldn't have been brought into this world.

But aborting it was too cruel; it was, after all, a life.

Zichen was talking to her from outside, but because she was too focused, she didn't notice what he said at all.

It wasn't until the bathroom door was pounded with a "thump-thump" sound and Zichen was about to break in that she opened the door and walked out, looking dejected!

"What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing."

"That's not right! Your complexion is very poor; you don't look like nothing is wrong. If there is something, you must tell me; you are not allowed to hide it from me."

"It's really nothing, don't make a fuss."

She threw herself onto the bed, covered her head with the quilt, and pretended to sleep.

But how could she possibly fall asleep?

Tears covered her face before she knew it.

Zichen went to the bathroom to check around, but there was nothing unusual; the trash can was empty, and everything was clean.

Even though Li Xueer's mind was in chaos, she hadn't forgotten to flush the evidence down the toilet when she came out; it was impossible for him to find any trace.

He wanted to lift the quilt, but she gripped it tightly, and he couldn't lift it at all.

So he turned and went out.

Not long after, he came back in and said softly: "Xue'er, I've invited a doctor to the house. Come with me to the living room to see them; the doctor will be here soon."

"Whoosh!"

The quilt covering her head was thrown off, and she sat up angrily: "Why invite a doctor? I'm not seeing one, I'm not sick."

Zichen did not give up: "It's best if you're not sick. Let the doctor take a look, then everyone can be at ease."

"I'm not seeing one, I just won't."

"Don't be willful." He sank his face; he was clearly unhappy.

Zichen has a good temper, but that does not mean he has no temper at all.

Unreasonable behavior will not work on him either.

Seeing that she could no longer hide the matter, Li Xueer had no choice but to tell the truth: "There is no need to call a doctor; I... I am pregnant!"

After saying this, she could no longer suppress her emotions, and tears fell down in torrents.

Just as Zichen was about to speak, a servant knocked on the door and reported: "Eldest Young Master, the doctor has arrived, and the Madam requests the Eldest Young Mistress to come downstairs."

"Let's go, let the doctor take a look since they are already here."

Li Xueer had no choice but to go downstairs.

The person who came was a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner; without any complicated examinations, they simply placed their fingers on her pulse and quickly made a diagnosis: "Congratulations to the Madam, congratulations to the Eldest Young Master! The Eldest Young Mistress is with child."

"Really?"

"Really?"

"That is correct, I cannot misdiagnose a pregnancy pulse."

Upon learning that her daughter-in-law was pregnant, Shi Youxuan was overjoyed, but Wang Yinghao and Sheng Jiang were even happier than she was.

Although the old couple had already seen the fourth generation, Shi Ran's child had the surname Yun and was of a different family name.

Even though Litian's child had the surname Sheng, it was still different in the old couple's hearts!

Zichen was the eldest son, and the child in Li Xueer's womb was the eldest son and eldest grandson, and also of the true Sheng Family bloodline, which was of extraordinary significance.

Li Xueer was pregnant, and the whole family was very happy; her mother-in-law pampered her even more, going to the kitchen herself to stew bird's nest... but she gave up just as she was about to start.

Forget it, she knew her own level well enough; she simply wasn't cut out for this, so it was better to let Fang Jie stew it.

It was Li Xueer's first pregnancy, and the food a pregnant woman eats is different from others; in order to take care of Li Xueer's pregnancy, Shi Youxuan specifically hired a nutritionist to look after her diet.

Everything used in the room was also strictly inspected, and anything unsuitable for a pregnant woman was thrown away; even the things used in the house were the same.

In addition, a nanny was specifically hired for her, and she enjoyed what was absolutely a national-treasure-level treatment.

Li Xueer received many gifts because of her pregnancy.

The gifts from the elders were all very valuable, and Shi Ran also specifically came back to quietly tell her many precautions for the early stages of pregnancy.

Li Xueer's little face turned bright red from listening, and only then did Shi Ran stop.
