“Hey, did you know? Chu Boyang actually slapped Ji Qing just now.”
Ji Qing was beaten up by Chu Boyang?
Everyone was curious, including Ji Fengmian.
Moreover, with her understanding of Chu Boyang, it was a little unbelievable for him to hit someone.
It was a woman, Ji Qing, whom he doted on the most.
In that case, she was more curious than the others.
“Are you serious? Chu Boyang actually hit someone?”
“It’s true. I saw it with my own eyes just now. At the south gate of the school, Chu Boyang drove the car in. When he saw Ji Qing, he didn’t say much and slapped her on the spot. You didn’t see how terrifying Chu Boyang’s expression was.”
That person shook his head and shuddered. “I didn’t see that expression when he broke up with Ji Fengmian.”
“Nonsense, who would dare to be cold to Ji Fengmian? Even Chu Boyang wouldn’t dare to hit her.”
“You’re right.”
The two of them muttered softly, but Ji Fengmian heard everything.
It seemed that it shouldn’t be fake.
However, although she was curious, she was in no position to ask them what had happened.
There were also some people who came to ask her out of curiosity, but she didn’t know the answer.
Perhaps Chu Boyang would take the initiative to tell her what was going on.
But she seemed to have expected too much.
No matter how much unhappiness she gave him, the man would cling to her every day.
She didn’t show her face all day.
He didn’t even appear in front of her for a week.
She had some emotions in her heart, but she couldn’t be easily swayed by them now.
She didn’t have any thoughts about graduation or employment.
At most, she would help Uncle Chu, but Uncle Chu wouldn’t let her do much.
He couldn’t wait to put her on the other end as a decoration.
Anyway, she didn’t have any high aspirations now.
These days, compared to the busy and anxious others, she seemed to be from a different world.
She ate and drank every day, read some books, and then dismissed Chu Boyang.
However, she was not used to this ordinary daily life.
Chu Jing had entered the company earlier to help Uncle Chu manage his affairs. He had been busy recently.
Every day when she came back, she would be covered in dust, as though she had killed an enemy.
Every time he saw Ji Fengmian at home, he felt a little indignant.
“Don’t tell me you want to stay here forever?”
Ji Fengmian sank into the sofa lazily. “Why? You’ve only worked for a few days and you’re complaining that I’m a freeloader?”
Chu Jing hurriedly raised his hands in surrender.
“But what’s wrong with you? You’ve been so energetic recently. I didn’t think you were such a person with no aspirations in the past. Now, you’re actually willing to stay at home.”
Ji Fengmian pursed his lips. “Perhaps you don’t know me well enough.”
Chu Jing pouted. “Where’s Chu Boyang? Why hasn’t he been pestering you recently?”
There was a fruit platter on Ji Fengmian’s lap and he didn’t seem to be interested in this topic. He picked a variety of fruits to eat.
Chu Jing was tired and didn’t continue asking. He was used to Ji Fengmian’s attitude when he mentioned Chu Boyang.
“Forget it, I’m going to change. Are you still not going to school tomorrow?”
“No, I have an appointment tomorrow.”
Chu Jing, who had just stood up, paused for a moment before laughing. “Other than Chu Boyang, who else can you have an appointment with?”
Ji Fengmian glanced at him lazily.
Chu Jing grinned and hurried away.
After dinner, Chu Jingben felt that it would be about 24 hours before he could see Ji Fengmian again.
She wasn’t joking when she said that he was lazy.
She couldn’t do anything but sleep. She was definitely the first.
He had never seen her at the breakfast table recently.
However, when they had breakfast the next morning, she opened the door and came out. She was obviously dressed.
He found it novel and looked outside. “The sun is in the east now, right? Am I too sleepy to differentiate between morning and evening?”
Ji Fengmian knew that he was joking. He glanced at him before picking up her car key and walking out.
“Hey, where are you going? Don’t you want breakfast?”
“Yes, let’s eat outside.”
Uncle Chu didn’t ask much about her. Seeing her leave, he didn’t say anything.
Ji Fengmian’s car stopped at Ping Cheng Hospital.
Although it was the logo of a hospital in the city, there was still a difference in medical standards and equipment compared to T University’s affiliated hospital.
Ji Fengmian didn’t choose T University because it was inevitable that he would meet someone who knew him.
She parked the car in the underground parking lot and took the elevator up.
She could still make it in time. She might have to wait for a while.
After brushing her hair, Ji Fengmian looked at the reflection in the mirror. His lips twitched and he caressed his stomach.
When her period didn’t come last month, she felt that something was amiss. However, she still dragged it out for a few days before coming over. The results were as expected.
There was indeed a seed in her stomach.
In order to adjust the inspection cycle, it had been half a month since the last inspection.
She hadn’t told Chu Boyang the news because she felt that he wasn’t qualified to know the reason for this surprise.
She had not heard much about Ji Qing recently. It was obvious that he had chosen her.
Although Ji Qing didn’t think much of her, she felt that a woman wouldn’t allow Ji Qing to exist.
Other than being unclear about Ji Qing, Chu Boyang’s redeeming qualities were better. Now, his attitude was obvious. After being pestered by him for a while, it could be said that women were afraid of men pestering them. The trivial matters regarding him in the past had gradually faded.
She had wanted to find an opportunity to tell him that she had plans for him to accompany her for the prenatal checkup.
In the end, Ji Qing suddenly appeared again. He had not appeared in front of her for more than a week.
He couldn’t blame her for missing the opportunity.
But on second thought, this news had to be told to him eventually.
After some thought, she decided to put down her dignity and call him.
The phone rang for more than ten seconds before it was picked up. “Mian?”
Chu Boyang sounded surprised.
Ji Fengmian twirled his hair with his fingers and nodded uncomfortably.
“Are you busy now? I have something to tell you. Is it convenient to meet?”
Chu Boyan paused. “Now?”
“Yeah.”
“… Is it important?”
Ji Fengmian’s face darkened. “It’s alright, I can’t see you anymore. Answer me simply. It’s fine if you don’t have time!”
After a long while, Chu Boyang said, “I’ll look for you later.”
Ji Fengmian hung up.
Things had happened twice, but not thrice.
If she wanted to be surprised, she could do so in her next life.
When the elevator reached the first floor, the gynecologist had to pass through the lobby.
She threw the phone into her bag and walked towards the gynecology department.
However, the moment she stepped into the gynecology department, she stopped in her tracks.
The person who came to check on her in the morning was a tall and straight figure. His face was expressionless and he was holding a list in his hand. Beside him was a thin woman in a hospital gown.
She was very familiar with the two of them.
The man was Chu Boyang, whom she had called to say that she couldn’t make time to see him.
The woman was Ji Qing, who had been slapped by the man at school not long ago.
Her gaze swept across the door they had just walked out of.
She suddenly felt that her life had not been in vain. She had to experience everything.
Such a melodramatic plot was about to hit her.
Perhaps sensing Ji Fengmian’s gaze, Chu Boyang raised his head with a frown. When his gaze landed on Ji Fengmian, his expression froze.
He turned to look at Ji Qing, who was beside him. His expression was grim as he strode towards Ji Fengmian.
Frowning, he grabbed her arm and looked her up and down. “Why are you here? Are you feeling unwell?”
Ji Fengmian didn’t say anything. Instead, he took the list from his hand.
Chu Boyan was caught off guard.
Ji Fengmian took a quick glance and could tell that it was a pregnancy test.
Ji Qing’s name was clearly written on it.
She didn’t look at the other data carefully. She wasn’t a professional and didn’t know much.
But that was enough.
She handed the pregnancy test to Chu Boyang and smiled at Ji Qing, whose face was paler than before.
“You’re pregnant?”
Ji Qing bit her lip.
She glanced at Chu Boyan and lowered her eyes again.
Ji Fengmian smiled. “I heard that you gave her a slap at school last time. I was wondering what happened. So that’s why.”
Chu Boyang pulled her closer. “Where are you feeling unwell? Why…” He suddenly paused and glanced at Ji Fengmian’s stomach. He looked at her in surprise. “You called me just now because…”
“I heard that you were accompanying a woman for a prenatal checkup, so I came out of curiosity!”
Ji Fengmian interrupted him, shattering the anticipation in his eyes.
Anticipation?
What right did he have?
“How many months?” she asked again. Ji Qing lowered her head and didn’t speak, so she could only look at Chu Boyan.
Chu Boyang pursed his lips. “Forty days.”
Ji Fengmian nodded in understanding.
“Whose?”
“…” Chu Boyang didn’t say anything else.
Ji Qing suddenly ran over with an agitated expression. “It’s not what you think. It’s not Brother Boyang’s!”
Ji Fengmian asked calmly, “Whose is it then?”
Ji Qing’s face turned even paler. “I… I don’t know… Anyway, it’s not Brother Boyang’s…”
Ji Fengmian narrowed his eyes at Ji Qing.
However, Chu Boyang reached out and pulled Ji Qing behind him.
Ji Fengmian smiled again. “So you haven’t appeared for the past week because Ji Qing is suddenly pregnant? Why is she like that? Someone has to take care of her?”
Chu Boyang grabbed her wrist. “Ji Qing’s situation is a little special. I…”
“Brother Boyan!”
Ji Qing’s sharp voice suddenly interrupted Chu Boyang.
Chu Boyang frowned.
Ji Qing walked up and said in a trembling voice, “I’m just very afraid. I have no one to rely on, so Brother Boyang has no choice but to accompany me… If you care, I apologize…”
Ji Fengmian was silent, and the air around him seemed to have frozen.
Even the people around them could easily sense the atmosphere between the three of them. They looked a little curious.
These days, anything could happen.
After a long while, Ji Fengmian asked again,
“Why does your answer sound like you’re trying to hide something? Whose child is it?”
Seeing that Ji Qing was about to shake her head again, she said, “Don’t you find this answer ridiculous? You’re so young, but you’re so promiscuous that you can’t even tell who the child in your stomach belongs to?”
Ji Qing bit her lips again, but her gaze was on Chu Boyang. She looked hesitant and timid.
Ji Fengmian smiled. So she had given her an answer?
The people around them were whispering. Chu Boyang held Ji Fengmian’s hand and said, “There are too many people here. Let’s talk somewhere else.”
Ji Fengmian retracted his hand and took two steps back. He raised his hand to stop Chu Boyang from approaching again.
“She said she doesn’t know who the child belongs to. Let me ask another way. Is it possible that the child is yours?”
Chu Bo raised his eyebrows and his eyes turned cold. “What nonsense are you talking about…”
“Brother Boyan, I…”
Ji Qing’s voice suddenly sounded. It didn’t sound right.
Ji Fengmian turned to look and she suddenly clutched her chest.
Chu Boyang, who was standing beside her, picked Ji Qing up almost immediately.
The surroundings were also in chaos.
Curiosity and surprise filled the air.
Ji Fengmian watched as Chu Boyang collapsed with obvious nervousness on his face. Then, without any hesitation, he strode away with Ji Qing in his arms.
Her footsteps seemed to be in a mess.
She didn’t chase after him.
Her footsteps seemed to have taken root as she stood rooted to the ground. Her entire body was cold and numb.
When the onlookers saw the man leaving with the woman in his arms and Ji Fengmian’s pale face, they couldn’t hide the pity in their eyes.
There were even older people who came to comfort her.
“Miss, look on the bright side. No matter what, that man has made a choice. There’s no need to be sad for that kind of man. There aren’t many men in this world.”
“That woman is pregnant, right? He’s already here for the prenatal checkup. He’s so nervous about her. No matter how much you pester him, you can’t win him back. Give up early. You still have a long way to go.”
“Aiyo, what a good-looking man. Why is he such a scumbag?”
Ji Fengmian didn’t react.
Seeing that she wasn’t listening, the surrounding people didn’t intend to say anything to her.
It wasn’t until a nurse came out of the office and shouted Ji Fengmian’s name that everyone saw her reaction.
When they saw her walking into the examination room calmly, there was an uproar.
This…
