"Not good." Su Wanxin leaned against the wall, looking down at her belly, and asked in a subdued voice, "Are you in the Imperial Capital right now? I need your help with something."
"Not there, but I can go tomorrow."
"Then I’ll pick you up tomorrow." Su Wanxin felt slightly relieved upon hearing this. "Also, don’t tell Mu Xinghan when you come."
"Why?" Zhan Che was puzzled.
Su Wanxin’s gaze darkened slightly, she didn’t give him an answer over the phone, just saying they would talk when they see each other. Zhan Che agreed.
Leaving the hospital, after about two hours of rushing around, by the time Su Wanxin got home, the effects of the alcohol were gone, only discomfort remained.
She transferred five times the usual fee to the designated driver, entered her home, went upstairs, and after cleaning herself up, she hurriedly climbed into bed to rest.
She couldn’t sleep; her head was in a fog, and then she thought about the dinner party that evening, how a certain Mr. Fu had schemed to make her drink.
That drink, it really was like flirting with death...
Su Wanxin gave a bitter smile, all out of energy to be angry, closed her eyes and hugged her pillow, forcing herself to try to sleep sooner.
She slept until dawn, and when she woke up, she received a message from Zhan Che. He provided his flight details very clearly, what time it departed and arrived, making it convenient for her to pick him up at the airport.
Su Wanxin looked at the message for a while, her mood complex as she smiled.
Sometimes, it really feels inconvenient to have so few friends.
She couldn’t talk about the pregnancy with her family.
She could count her friends on her fingers, and the ones she could speak honestly to were only Fu Shiyi and Mu Suyu.
But now, she couldn’t find Fu Shiyi or get hold of Mu Suyu, so she felt utterly alone and unsupported.
If she didn’t happen to know a doctor named Zhan Che, she genuinely had no idea what she would do.
If she needed to be hospitalized, how would she deceive her family and avoid other people’s scrutiny?
Whether to keep the child or not, she still couldn’t decide now. But before making a decision, she couldn’t just neglect it.
Maybe because she grew up in an orphanage and was later adopted, Su Wanxin was particularly clear about what it feels like for a child to be without parents.
Last time with Huai Yangyang, she was outmaneuvered by Fu Shihan and was caught off guard by the suddenness of becoming pregnant. She didn’t expect this time to be the same...
And sadder still, this time, it wasn’t just her who was unprepared, but him too.
Su Wanxin arrived at the airport an hour early. If it weren’t for the sudden turn of events, she would have been on the plane already, nearly at Bin City.
Now all her plans were disrupted, and she was irritable and annoyed.
Su Wanxin stood at the arrival gate, lost in thought. She was contemplating whether she should keep the child, and if so, what she should do afterwards.
If not...
To be honest, she couldn’t bear the thought.
She was always soft-hearted, and Fu Shihan always knew how to exploit this weakness; otherwise, she should have terminated the pregnancy with Huai Yangyang.
She had originally planned to work for at least two years after graduation before thinking about having children. But she got pregnant right after graduating, and after giving birth, an accident happened...
Round and round it went, delaying her career plans for over four years. Four years, long enough for her to have reached a higher position, to stand by his side with confidence and without fear.
Thinking of this, her reluctance to keep the child grew.
As Su Wanxin stood there sighing, Zhan Che came out of the passage and saw her frowning, her little face strained, her eyebrows knitted, her hands in her pockets, looking particularly distressed.
