Chapter 1 Pregnancy

"Congratulations, Miss Lin. According to the blood test results, you have been pregnant for 7 weeks. During this period, you should pay attention to rest, enhance your nutrition, start taking folic acid, and come back for regular reexaminations."

Hearing the doctor's words, Lin Shu couldn't help but place her hands on her lower abdomen. She could hardly believe that a tiny life had already been conceived within.

Recently, she had been feeling a loss of appetite and a bit nauseous, thinking that she had suffered from gastroenteritis. She had originally planned to go to the hospital to get some medicine, but unexpectedly, she was pregnant.

Holding the laboratory test sheet, Lin Shu walked out of the hospital. She had been hesitating whether to tell Tang Yichen. She took out her mobile phone, clicked on the profile picture engraved in her heart, and then closed it again.

Repeatedly, she couldn't make up her mind. She came and sat by the flower bed at the entrance of the hospital.

Three years ago, her grandfather, with whom she had depended on each other for survival, was seriously ill. She took her grandfather to the city for medical treatment.

In the hospital, she met an equally elderly man. It turned out that her grandfather and this old man were comrades-in-arms, and her grandfather had saved the old man.

That old man was Tang Yichen's grandfather. The two old men had lost contact for many years, and they were very excited to see each other again.

At that time, her grandfather's illness was already very serious, and he was worried about leaving her alone. So he entrusted her to Grandpa Tang.

The moment Grandpa Tang saw Lin Shu, he immediately recognized her as his grandson's wife and forced his grandson Tang Yichen to quickly get the marriage certificate with her. Not long after getting the certificate, her grandfather passed away.

That year, when Grandpa Tang asked her if she was willing to marry Tang Yichen, she blushed and nodded gently. Yes, she liked Tang Yichen. She didn't know when it started.

Perhaps it was at their first meeting in the hospital. He pushed open the door of the ward, and the sunlight spilled on him from the window. His facial features were like a sculpture, his deep eyes carried a hint of sharpness, and he was extremely handsome...

At that time, she thought that Tang Yichen agreed to the marriage out of his own will. But it turned out that it was only because of Grandpa Tang's coercion that he had to agree.

So, in fact, her marriage with Tang Yichen was a marriage of convenience. Three years ago, on the eve of getting the marriage certificate, Tang Yichen took out an agreement for her to sign.

"The old man resorted to all kinds of tricks, crying, making a fuss, and even threatening to commit suicide, insisting that I marry you. Since you want it so much, I'll give you the title of Mrs. Tang. But I'm sorry, I can't offer anything else. We'll get divorced after three years."

So, according to the agreement, they would get divorced after three years, and they couldn't have children. After the divorce, the villa where they lived together would be given to Lin Shu, along with a large sum of "breakup fee".

At the moment of getting the agreement, Lin Shu realized that only she wanted to get married. She didn't read the content of the agreement at that time.

She didn't want the other party to see her inner feelings, nor did she want to make herself too embarrassed. She quickly signed her name and handed it to Tang Yichen.

The next day, the two successfully obtained the marriage certificate. There was no wedding, only two red marriage certificates lying in their hands.

"Xiao Shu, I'm sorry for you. The wedding will not be held for the time being." Grandpa Tang said to her. Although his grandson agreed to get married, he didn't give in at all regarding the matter of holding the wedding. He felt sorry for this child, Xiao Shu.

"It doesn't matter, Grandpa. I can understand." Lin Shu said to Grandpa Tang with a soft voice.

After getting married, they moved to Tang Yichen's own villa. Because Tang Yichen didn't like to be disturbed by outsiders, they didn't hire any servants.

Lin Shu didn't go to work. Every day, she cooked at home and waited for Tang Yichen to come back. Most of the time, Tang Yichen didn't come back, and Lin Shu ate alone every day.

In the first year, the two lived in peace, always sleeping in separate rooms. They went to the old house for meals together on weekends. Tang Yichen's father and mother died in a plane accident when he was a child. Grandpa Tang, with white hair, sent his black-haired children away. He almost couldn't hold on.

At that time, Tang Yichen had just entered junior high school and was already sensible. Since then, his originally cheerful personality had changed. He became taciturn and gloomy. Fortunately, because of Tang Yichen, Grandpa Tang had been holding on, raising Tang Yichen up.

Tang Yichen was also very promising. After graduating, he established a company and was very successful. He was the pride of the old man.

As a boss, Tang Yichen was extremely busy. Lin Shu would also go to accompany the old man by herself. She always felt that seeing Grandpa Tang was as kind as seeing her own grandfather.

The change might have started a year after they got married. One night, Tang Yichen came back very late and had drunk a lot of alcohol. When the driver sent him back, Lin Shu hurriedly went over to support him and carried him to the master bedroom together with the driver.

She had been sleeping in the master bedroom. With the driver there, Lin Shu didn't want others to know the real situation. After putting him on the bed, the driver left. Lin Shu looked at him and unbuttoned his clothes. Because of this action, seeing his chest gradually exposed, she felt that the temperature on her face was uncontrollably rising.

She was about to get up and leave. Just as she got up, she found that her hand was grabbed. She didn't stand firmly and fell on him. Tang Yichen held her tightly and said, "Don't leave me." Lin Shu's body tensed up, not knowing what to do. Suddenly, Tang Yichen turned over directly, and the two changed positions.

Tang Yichen stared at Lin Shu with his confused eyes for a few seconds. Because of being drunk, his handsome face showed a bit of childishness. Suddenly, he kissed her directly. Lin Shu's mind went blank, allowing the man above her to plunder and conquer.

Early the next morning, Lin Shu got up early for fear of the embarrassment of meeting. Enduring the discomfort between her legs, she took a bath and made breakfast. Then Tang Yichen came out of the room.

"Last night..."

"Just have breakfast quickly." She knew that it was an accident last night and didn't want to hear other sad words. Lin Shu immediately interrupted what he was about to say later.

The two sat down and ate breakfast quietly.

"Go and buy some medicine later." Tang Yichen still opened his mouth.

Lin Shu looked up at him.

"We can't have children." He rarely opened his mouth to explain.

"I know. I'll go and buy it." Lin Shu felt a bit painful in her heart, but still maintained a faint smile on her face.

Since then, the way the two got along seemed to have changed. From being strangers living under the same roof after getting married to a couple without saying "love".

The two lived in one room, slept in one bed, and led a normal married life. Although every time he came back very late, he would embrace her from behind. He would send a WeChat message to tell her whether he would come back for dinner.

They also went to the old house more often. Grandpa was old and naturally wanted to hold a great-grandson very much. So he often asked when they would have a child and urged them. After all, it had been almost three years since they got married.

Ding~The WeChat notification sound interrupted Lin Shu's thoughts.

[I won't come back for dinner tonight.] It was a message from Tang Yichen.

[Okay.] Thinking that he had a bad stomach, Lin Shu sent another message [Don't drink too much alcohol.]

There was no reply. Lin Shu still didn't tell Tang Yichen about her pregnancy. Although the relationship between the two seemed very close in the past two years, in fact, she knew that he had never said that he loved her.

He didn't love her. So she had too many uncertainties. But she was very sure that she must keep this child.

Since Tang Yichen wouldn't come back at night, Lin Shu planned to go to the old house to visit Grandpa.

She hadn't been there for a while because of her discomfort before.
