Bo Ye was stunned. She had been busy this month and had not noticed that her period had been delayed for half a month.

Could it be that she was pregnant?

The docto/r looked at the pretty but silly young girl. She could not help but laugh. “I’m asking her, not you.”

Fu Tingyan looked down at Bo Ye in his arms, waiting for her answer.

Bo Ye looked up at Fu Tingyan, then at the doctor. “April 18th.”

“April 18th. Today is June 7th. It’s been more than 40 days. When did you two do it?”

The doctor asked while writing the medical record card.

Fu Tingyan knew this and remembered it very clearly. Because it was at his company’s opening ceremony, he replied, “May 8th.”

Bo Ye lowered her eyes. She had already guessed what was going on.

When Fu Tingyan heard the doctor’s question, he had also guessed a little. He was excited. If it was really as he had guessed, how great would that be?

The doctor wrote on the form and handed it to Fu Tingyan. “Here, go for a urine test first.”

“Okay, Doctor.”

Fu Tingyan took the form and was about to carry Bo Ye out when she held his wrist. “Let me go by myself.”

Bo Ye’s voice was cold and weak, but it was very firm.

Fu Tingyan stood up and paused. He looked down at Bo Ye and found that she looked extremely displeased.

He could tell that Bo Ye knew what was going on. Was she unhappy?

Fu Tingyan’s originally excited mood was gone just like that.

“Okay.” He responded softly and put her down. Then, he held her hand and walked out.

The procedure for the urine test was actually quite simple.

After taking the cup, Fu Tingyan accompanied Bo Ye to the girls’ bathroom. He stood outside and watched Bo Ye walk in. She was still wearing her pajamas, and she looked quite thin.

He suddenly remembered that the first time he saw her was in the student’s apartment at school. She was preparing to take a shower. Perhaps she was afraid that he would find out that she was a girl, so she was very nervous, but on the surface, she was very calm.

At that time, she was very thin, and now she was still very thin, and not to mention fragile.

Ever since the beginning, he had noticed this.

During the few years they learned martial arts together, he was afraid that she was too thin to endure hardships, so he would often help her wash clothes, apply ointment, and so on.

He had never thought that he would have such feelings for a member of the opposite sex, but he did not care.

Now that he knew that she was a girl, other than being surprised, he was also happy.

Just as Fu Tingyan was thinking about it, Bo Ye walked out with a pregnancy test in her hand.

The two of them did not say anything. When they went to listen to the doctor’s explanation, they already knew what was going on.

The doctor said, “Congratulations, she is already pregnant.”

When Fu Tingyan heard that, the corners of his mouth subconsciously curled up. However, when he saw Bo Ye’s expression and her calm and cold gaze, the smile on his lips froze.

He looked up at the doctor and asked worriedly, “Then why does she always feel dizzy, tightness in her chest, and want to sleep?”

The doctor said, “Her reaction to her pregnancy is very big. She will get better in a month or two, so there’s no need to worry.”

“Thank you, Doctor.”

Fu Tingyan thanked him. He held Bo Ye’s hand with one hand and walked out with the medical record card in the other.

An hour later, at the apartment.

Fu Tingyan bought light porridge because Bo Ye had not eaten anything for the whole day. She did not have any strength at all.

Bo Ye found it hard to eat, so she held the bowl and ate, bite by bite.

Fu Tingyan sat across from her and looked at her face. He felt a little sorry for her. He remembered that when Qin Shu was pregnant, she did not have any reaction. She could eat and sleep.

Looking at Bo Ye, she seemed to be suffering a lot.

When he thought of what she had said in the beginning, she had never thought of getting married.

His hands on the table clenched together nervously. Then, he let go and clenched them again.

“You said that you have never thought of getting married. Have you never planned to get married, or do you not want to get married with me?”

Bo Ye put down the bowl and looked up at Fu Tingyan. She clenched the spoon in her hand. “I don’t want to get married with you.”

Hearing this answer, Fu Tingyan’s hands were tightly clasped together. Restraining himself, he calmly asked, “Then what about now? Or do you not want to marry me?”

Bo Ye stared at Fu Tingyan for a while, then nodded. “Yes.”

Fu Tingyan couldn’t help but ask, “Why? Didn’t you say that you like me a little?”

Bo Ye pursed her lips. “I just like you. I don’t have to get married.”

Fu Tingyan asked again, “Are you determined not to marry me?”

Bo Ye lowered her eyes and replied faintly, “Yes.”.

Fu Tingyan heard her cold answer and didn’t seem to have the need to ask further. However, he wasn’t willing to accept it. They had already come this far.

They even had a child.

After a long silence, Bo Ye thought that he had nothing more to say. To her surprise, she heard him say, “So we’re not going to get married?”

Then, he added, “It’s fine if we don’t get married. We can just be together as lovers.”

Bo Ye was stunned. She didn’t expect Fu Tingyan to say such a thing.

Fu Tingyan stared at Bo Ye and waited for her answer. However, from the silence, he seemed to have guessed her thoughts.

There was silence for a long time. The porridge that was steaming in front of her was already cold.

Fu Tingyan didn’t know what to say, but he also realized a problem. Bo Ye really didn’t want to marry him, nor did she want to be with him.

Even though the two of them had such an intimate relationship and had a child, she still didn’t have any thoughts about it.

When he was in the hospital, he could vaguely feel that she was not happy that she had his child.

She was probably very unhappy.

Fu Tingyan lowered his eyes, he said slowly, “Before I came here, I thought that if I worked hard, you would accept me. I could not change my self-righteous personality. I always thought that as long as I worked hard, I would always succeed. Now, I finally understand that that’s not always the case.”

He suddenly felt a lump in his throat that made him unable to breathe. He raised his head to look at Bo Ye, he smiled at her. “I thought, I thought… I was too impulsive and caused you harm. I don’t know what to say so that you can forgive me.”

He stood up and turned around in a sorry state. “About the child, the choice is in your hands. No matter what decision you make, I’ll support you. I’ll go back first. If you’ve decided, send me a message and let me know. I will take responsibility…”

After he said that, he left without looking back.

Bo Ye looked at Fu Tingyan’s back as he left. She opened her mouth but did not say a word.

She put her hand on her stomach. It was not that she was unhappy, but that she could not choose to be with him.

Fu Tingyan walked out of the apartment. He came here full of expectations, but he left with disappointment. How much of a failure was he? He had brought himself to her, but she did not want him?

He came to the balcony. Because he was in a hurry just now, he didn’t take his suitcase.

Fortunately, he didn’t take it. He wanted to stay for a few days. She might be annoyed if she saw it.

He dragged his suitcase out of the apartment area and walked on the streets of the strange city where people came and went.

A person’s life was probably a constant meeting of strangers. Occasionally, he would meet a few people by chance, and he would also meet someone whom he would look away from. He would separate, meet again, meet again, and separate again.

It was very difficult to meet someone who could move forward with him. Once he met someone, he would be reluctant to let go.

He did not have any luck meeting people who wanted to move forward with him.

He did not regret coming here full of anticipation. He only regretted his impulsive actions that night.

He had never thought of hurting her. He was only so impulsive because he was planning to marry her.

He was upset with himself.

He stopped and looked at the long street. People were coming and going. He could not suppress the sadness in his heart.

He did not know whether he was sad that he had no emotional sustenance, or that he was disappointed.

Or, just as he had tasted the joy of being a father, he was going to experience the pain of losing a child?

Either way, it made him feel exhausted. He wanted to stop and let off some steam.

He squatted down on the street. Beside him was the trash can, while his suitcase was on the other side.

He lowered his head in a dispirited manner, trying his best to calm down his chaotic emotions.

…

…

After Fu Tingyan left, the apartment fell into dead silence again.

Bo Ye lowered her head to look at the cold porridge in front of her. She gripped the spoon in her hand tightly and ate spoonfuls after spoonfuls.

At this moment, the apartment door suddenly opened from the outside. She raised her head to look in the direction of the door, thinking that it was Fu Tingyan who had left and returned. What she saw was Bo Yin’s tall figure. A hint of disappointment flashed across her eyes.

Bo Yin strode over. When he saw her pale face, he asked worriedly, “Ye, are you feeling unwell? I’ll take you to the doctor.”

Bo Yin had just learned that she was feeling unwell and had asked for leave.

Bo Ye shook her head. “I’m fine.”

“How can you be fine when you look so pale. Listen to me, I’ll take you to the doctor.”

As Bo Yin spoke, he stretched out his arm to hug her, but was stopped by Bo Ye. She raised her head to look at Bo Yin. “I’m really fine.”

Bo Yin reached out to touch her forehead and found that it was not hot. “Have you been too busy recently? There are some things you don’t have to do next time. Just leave it to them. You don’t have to do it yourself.”

Bo Ye did not know how to say it. She was pregnant.

Bo Yin looked at the porridge in front of Bo Ye and realized that it was already cold. Bo Ye was still eating. He said, “The porridge is already cold. Why are you still eating? I’ll get you something hot.”

After saying that, he turned around and walked out. However, his wrist was grabbed by Bo Ye. When he turned around, he saw Bo Ye’s pale face. “What’s wrong?”

Bo Ye said, “There’s no need to buy anything. I’m already full. I have something to tell you.”

“Okay.” Bo Yin returned to the table and sat down. When he saw Bo Ye’s pale face, he was very worried.

Bo Ye lowered her eyes and pursed her lips. She seemed to be a little hesitant and did not know how to speak.

Bo Yin saw that she was in a dilemma and said, “Ye, there’s nothing that you cannot say to me. Tell me.”

Bo Ye looked up at Bo Yin and pursed her lips. “I’m fine. I’m just a little tired. I want to travel. I want to travel all over the world.”

She still could not tell him that she was pregnant. He was finally at a place in the company where no one could threaten his position.

Bo Yin looked at her and felt that it was time. “Ye, everything is stable now. Let’s get married. I’ll take you on a honeymoon. We can go anywhere you want.”

Bo Ye was most afraid of Bo Yin saying that. She said, “I told you when I came back that I don’t want to get married.”

Bo Yin said, “We grew up together. I’ll always protect you. You don’t have to be afraid of getting married. I’ll still treat you well as before. I’ve waited for so many years just for you to grow up. When you’re at the marriageable age, isn’t it natural for you to get married?”

When Bo Ye faced Bo Yin, she would think of the things that happened when she was young. He had always protected her. When he said that he wanted to marry her, she also felt that it was a matter of course. She also coldly rejected Fu Tingyan.

But now, no matter what she did, it was still wrong. It was better to be alone.

“I’m sorry. I don’t want to get married.”

Bo Yin stood up and hugged Bo Ye, he said gently, “Ye, are you afraid of getting married? It’s alright, we’re already a family. Even if we get married, it’ll still be the same as before. There won’t be much change. Will you marry me? We can be a real family.”

Bo Ye shook her head. “I’m sorry, I just want to be alone.”

Bo Yin saw that Bo Ye was so insistent, so he could only calm down. “Don’t reject me so quickly. We still have a lot of time, take it slow.”

Bo Ye did not say anything. Right now, she did not have any strength at all. She just wanted to rest.

Bo Yin stayed to take care of Bo Ye at night.

Bo Ye did not say anything. After showering at night, she went to bed to rest.

…

The streets at night were much livelier than during the day.

Fu Tingyan squatted beside the trash can. He did not know how long he had squatted for, but his legs were numb. He simply sat on the suitcase and put his hand into his pocket. Initially, he wanted to get a cigarette, but in the end, he touched the medical record card.

He took out the medical record card and looked at it under the streetlight. He looked at the diagnosis written by the doctor and confirmed that she was pregnant.

Child, you came at a bad time. I want to keep you, but I don’t have the right to make her keep you. The choice is in her hands. She definitely won’t be willing to keep you.

Fu Tingyan stared at the diagnosis for a long time before putting it back into his pocket. He had mixed feelings.

He grew up with a golden spoon in his mouth. He had his grandmother, his daddy, his mommy, and his brother. He had never suffered, and no one dared to bully him.

His journey had been very smooth. Was it because it had been too smooth that his love life had been bumpy?

He stood up, carried his suitcase, and found a five-star hotel to stay in, waiting for her decision.

Actually, he didn’t need to wait. He knew the result.

He was just waiting to fulfill his final responsibility.

Staying in the hotel, he didn’t go out, nor did he go to the bar to drink.

Maybe it was because he had experienced it once, he had some resistance, or maybe it was because this time, it was really over.

It was indeed over.

When he woke up, he sat at the balcony and smoked, looking at the scenery outside the window. From time to time, he glanced at his phone, wanting to wait for a message from her.

After waiting for three days, she didn’t send a single message, as if he didn’t exist.

Fu Tingyan picked up his phone and took the initiative to send her a message. “When are you going to the hospital? I’ll go with you.”
