C26 Get Out of My Way

"Of course it's my husband's," I smiled faintly and asked her back, "How about you? Whose child is yours? Are you going to give birth to the child this time?"

I knew that Qin Jiameng had two abortions when she was in college.

At that time, she did not dare to ask anyone to go with her, so she had no choice but to asked me.

Qin Jiameng was trembling in anger, "Qin Jiaqi, you bitch! I won't let you give birth to this child!"

With that, she took the test sheet and left furiously.

I felt slightly uneasy, after all, Qin Jiameng was never a kind person. If she would have a miscarriage but I do not.

Then she might not be able to be the real Mrs Ji anymore.

I began to hesitate whether I should tell Ji Qingxuan about my pregnancy.

However, I ended up forgetting about this matter due to my work.

Two weeks later on a weekend, Ji Yanhai asked Ji Qingxuan and I to go home.

At that instant when I saw Ji Qingxuan in the car, I was in a trance.

Come to think of it, we haven't seen each other for almost a month now.

The change in season grew apparent as the leaves turn rusty brown. It was just the beginning of September and the weather had already turned cold. I was wearing a loose outfit to cover up the small baby bump on my tummy.

When Ji Yanhai saw that I was wearing a loose outfit, he immediately asked in excitement, "What's going on? Could it be that my grandson has arrived?"

I smiled, "Grandpa, how could it be that fast? If there's any good news, we'll definitely inform you right away."

However, Ji Yanhai did not give up and talked like a child, "Is it because this brat is too busy with his work and neglected you? If that's the case, you can tell me, I'll teach him a lesson!"

I immediately shook my head and grabbed the arm of the man beside me, "No, Qingxuan treats me very well and cares a lot about me too. When the time comes, the child will arrive on its own, don't you think?"

"Yes, yes." Ji Yanhai felt that what I said was reasonable, so he did not ask any further.

Now, I had already learned how to put on a show in front of Ji Yanhai.

I turned to look at Ji Qingxuan, the man was looking back at me with his eyes filled with complications.

I acted well through out the dinner with Ji Yanhai, and he did not find anything suspicious between Ji Qingxuan and I.

Only until we came out of the Ji Family Courtyard, Ji Qingxuan said, "Your acting skills are getting better."

His voice was a little cold, and since I knew his feelings for me were not love but hatred, I naturally would not overthink it.

I stood by the car and said emotionlessly, "Thank you, Mr. Ji. Then I'll be leaving now."

I would not embarrass myself again.

Just as I was about to leave, he grabbed my arm.

I turned to him and asked, "Is there anything else Mr. Ji needs?"

I knew myself that it was not easy to let go of a man that I had been in loved for twelve years.

But I would try to distant myself from him.

Because that was the only way not to look pathetic when he drove me away.

Ji Qingxuan looked at me with a complicated expression, he stopped for a few seconds and said, "Get in the car. I'll send you back."

As he said, he did not allow me to refuse, so he got into the back seat and moved inwards, leaving the seat by the door for me.

I hesitated, then got into the car.

"Meng is pregnant."

Ji Qingxuan mentioned it as soon as I got in the car.

Those words broke my heart in an instant, I clenched my palms so tightly, trying to swallow all the bitterness within me.

I thought he was being nice to offer me a ride, but that was his real intention of doing so, telling me she was pregnant.

"Yes, and then?" I pretended to be calm and asked him, "Do you want me to leave, or what?"

Maybe my reaction had exceeded his expectations, so Ji Qingxuan looked at me for a long time before saying, "Wait until the baby is born."

Along the way, the silence had filled the space, it was like a gaping void, needing to be filled with sounds.

Ji Qingxuan tried bring me to the villa he had given me, but I gave the driver Jiang Qin's address.

Seeing that the car was about to reach Jiang Qin's house, I touched my relatively flat tummy and could not help but ask him, "Ji Qingxuan, what if I'm pregnant too?"
