Chapter 381: Visiting Moonlight Rotating Bar Again

“No!” Xia Ling quickly said such that even her tone changed, causing Nanny Zhou to be confused. She forced a smile and racked her brains to think of an explanation. “I may not be pregnant. Nanny Zhou, help me buy a pregnancy test kit. Don’t tell the doctor or Pei Ziheng. I want to take the test first because I don’t want to give anyone an empty surprise.”

Nanny Zhou also understood her and also thought that she was afraid of embarrassing herself. Hence, she smiled and agreed.

As this was a significant affair related to Mister, Nanny Zhou was fast. She did not even wash the dishes before she rushed out to buy a pregnancy test stick. After a check, Xia Ling realized that she was really pregnant.

She took the pregnancy test kit and sat in the bathroom with cold hands and feet.

It should be the day before the paragliding incident, and she did not even know whether it was a male or female baby. It was really untimely that something like that happened.

Should she get an abortion?

She could not bear to do it since this was her and Li Lei’s child. It was such a beautiful life. She could imagine how happy Li Lei would be when he found out about it. If the baby were a boy, he would probably resemble him, have a radiant pair of eyes and be extremely handsome. When he grew up, he would accompany his father hiking, fishing, hunting, and could even learn how to manage his industries and be well versed in both literature and military affairs.

If it were a girl, it would be best if she also resembled Li Lei. A girl who loved to smile would be very well-liked. Pursuers would definitely line up in front of their house. She did not have to be very virtuous or learn how to cook because, with her father there, both mother and daughter would be well taken care of…

Xia Ling’s hand touched her lower abdomen. It was still very flat, and she could not feel any difference. However, she knew that the child was lying quietly there, and it was a rare treasure belonging to her and Li Lei.

There was a slight smile on her lips.

However, soon, the smile vanished. This child came at an untimely hour. What should she do?

She wanted to give birth to the child, but if Pei Ziheng found out about it, he would definitely tie her up and send her to the hospital immediately for an abortion. She swore an oath to remain by Pei Ziheng side and did not know if she could break it soon. If she could not, she would have to remain by his side forever, and this child would be her last memory of Li Lei and the only proof of their love.

Xia Ling had never been so conflicted in both of her lifetimes combined. She covered her mouth with her hands as she whispered. “There must be a way, there must be a way…”

Outside the bathroom, Nanny Zhou’s voice was heard. “Miss Ye? Are you ok?”

She was suddenly shocked and realized that she had been in the bathroom for very long. She quickly answered that she was fine and flushed down the pregnancy stick. She washed her face in front of the sink, forced herself to calm down, and said to the mirror, “Xia Ling, you can do this. There will be a way.” Taking a deep breath, she finally walked out.

Nanny Zhou asked with concern, “What’s the result?”

Xia Ling shook her head and acted disappointed. “I’m not pregnant.”

“Really? That’s a pity.” Nanny Zhou was more disappointed than her. Mister was already more than thirty years old and still had no children, so it really made people anxious. Nanny Zhou resisted the disappointment in her heart and smiled as she comforted Xia Ling. “It’s fine. Your relationship with Mister is so strong, I’m sure you will have a child.”

Strong relationship?

Xia Ling retorted in her heart. It would be like seeing a ghost if their relationship improved. However, at that moment, perhaps because of her mother’s instinct to protect her child, she thought of something. “Yes, I really hope we can have a child soon.” She smiled at Nanny Zhou and advised. “You really must not tell Pei Ziheng about what happened today. Just take it as if nothing happened and don’t ruin his mood. If his mood is good, his body will be good, and if his body is good, we can quickly…”

She deliberately blushed and stopped in the middle of her sentence.

Nanny Zhou understood what she meant and smiled. “Miss Ye, don’t worry. I understand. You should just live peacefully with Mister and have a child soon.”

Xia Ling thanked Nanny Zhou and sent her away.

The room was bare except for Xia Ling. Only then did her smile disappear to reveal a deep sadness. There was only one way to keep this child. This was to let Pei Ziheng think that the child was his. However, that also meant that…

She had to at least spend the night with him.

She was unwilling.

Although they slept together many times in her past life, it was different now. She was already Li Lei’s woman, and she was unwilling to tolerate anyone touching her except Li Lei. However, this was an urgent matter, and she had to make a decision soon.

Dinner time came. Pei Ziheng returned home and ate with her.

She did not have any appetite as usual. As she was afraid that he would suspect that she was pregnant, she specially instructed Nanny Zhou to cook fresh vegetables, plain white porridge, and forced herself to eat a little.

Pei Ziheng was very concerned about her. “I still think we should get a doctor to check on you.”

How could she be checked by a doctor now? Xia Ling said, “I hate doctors, injections, and eating medicine.”

“But your appetite is bad.” He knitted his brows.

Xia Ling replied, “I’m not in a good mood. It’s too boring at home.” A bad mood which caused a bad appetite. This explanation was reasonable, and no one could spot any flaws in it. Besides, she did have a reason to be upset.

Pei Ziheng’s expression relaxed a little. He knew from a long time ago that she was in a bad mood. Since the first day she came home, she had been thinking of Li Lei endlessly. Some time ago, everything she said was provocative, and there was unsuppressed fury in her eyes. These few days, she was not feeling well physically, but she quietened down a lot.

Perhaps taking her ring pendant made her completely accept the truth and give up on Li Lei.

Melancholic feelings were all temporary. With him by her side, she was bound to adjust in time. In fact, she was even voluntarily telling him the reason why she could not eat much and felt that it was too boring at home.

This was a good sign. She was really moving on from her dejection.

Thus, Pei Ziheng warmly said, “How about I take a walk with you outside?”

“I want to drink,” she said.

“You couldn’t really drink alcohol in the past.”

“I just want to drink,” she said. In her past life, as she had to sing, she had to protect her voice, and there were very limited drinks that she could consume. She only lightly tasted wine before in the past. Due to a similar reason in this life, she rarely drank as well. However, it was different now. “I don’t have to record songs daily anymore, so I want to experience being drunk.”

If she were drunk, would she able to forget that person?

Pei Ziheng looked at her deeply. Finally, he said, “Ok.”

“Let’s go to Feng Kun’s bar?” She tested his limits.

“You want to see Feng Kun?” Pei Ziheng’s expression darkened a little.

“I can’t?” She forced herself to suppress the erratic emotions in her heart and acted as if nothing was wrong. “His ‘Moonlight’ environment is really good. I can see the scenery of the city from the rotating glass. I also haven’t seen him in a long time.”
