On the other end of the phone, Shu Yao excitedly told Meng Jingwei about her situation.
Some were happy, some were sad.
After hearing Shu Yao's words, Meng Jingwei fell silent for a while, not knowing what to do.
She was pregnant.
After a long silence, Shu Yao, unable to hear Meng Jingwei's voice, asked, "Weiwei, did you hear me? I said I accidentally discovered I was pregnant today. I'm having Ah Huai's child. I'm so happy."
Shu Yao, immersed in her joy, clearly didn't know what kind of person Qing Sihhuai was, which made her so happy.
"I heard, I heard."
Meng Jingwei raised her hand to her forehead, suddenly unsure of what to say.
"Why do I feel like you're not happy?"
Shu Yao frowned and pressed further.
"Let's have dinner together tomorrow noon. I have something to tell you. It's best not to let Qing..."
"Oh, we'll talk about tomorrow tomorrow. Tell me, how are you and Xiao Cheng?" Shu Yao was quite looking forward to the progress between Meng Jingwei and Xiao Cheng.
During the time Meng Jingwei was unconscious, Shu Yao had called her, but Meng Jingwei hadn't answered.
She had assumed that Xiao Cheng and Meng Jingwei were enjoying their "world of two."
Meng Jingwei: "..."
What was she supposed to say?
"Is Qing Sihhuai with you?" she asked.
"Ah Huai, yes. Heh heh, he's been by my side ever since he knew I was pregnant. He's been so gentle and attentive."
Listening to Shu Yao speak over the phone, Meng Jingwei could almost feel her joy and happiness.
"That's good, congratulations."
Since Qing Sihhuai was by Shu Yao's side, there were some things she couldn't tell her.
Meng Jingwei could only say to Shu Yao, "I had a bit to drink today and felt bored alone. Can I sleep at your place?"
"Now?"
"Mhm."
"But Ah Huai is here."
"You don't need your friends now that you have a man?"
"No, no, no, hahahaha, how could that be. Come over if you want, I'll wait for you." Shu Yao was speechless by Meng Jingwei's teasing and could only agree, telling her to come over quickly.
After hanging up the phone, Meng Jingwei didn't dare to delay and immediately drove to Shu Yao's home.
As their residences were not far apart, Meng Jingwei arrived downstairs at Shu Yao's place within minutes.
She went straight upstairs and rang the doorbell.
The living room door opened, and Shu Yao stood at the entrance. Seeing Meng Jingwei, she grinned and rushed over to give Meng Jingwei a big hug, "Weiwei, I'm so happy. I'm a mommy now. I have a baby."
In her delirious joy, she didn't realize the seriousness of the situation at all.
Meng Jingwei glanced at Qing Sihhuai, who was sitting calmly in the living room. His gaze was fixed on Meng Jingwei, a smile playing on his lips with a hint of provocation.
He probably knew everything.
"It's good that you're happy. But you were too careless. You haven't told Anthony and your parents about your situation yet. Aren't you being a bit hasty?"
Meng Jingwei looked down at Shu Yao, then took her phone out of her pocket and handed it to Shu Yao.
When Shu Yao saw Meng Jingwei take out her phone, she was puzzled about what she wanted to do, but her attention was immediately drawn to the name "Qing Sihhuai" on the screen, and she didn't ask further.
[Find a way to get Qing Sihhuai away. I have something important to tell you.]
This was the message Meng Jingwei had prepared on her way over, knowing that with Qing Sihhuai there, it would be inconvenient to tell Shu Yao certain things.
Shu Yao was stunned for a moment, looking at Meng Jingwei with a confused expression. Sensing her seriousness, she realized the gravity of the matter.
"Ah Huai and I were discussing telling my parents first, and then we'll figure out how to explain it to Anthony together," Shu Yao said with a slight smile.
She pulled Meng Jingwei's hand, "Your hands are so cold. Come in and sit down, the air conditioning is on."
From Shu Yao's calm reaction, Meng Jingwei knew that Shu Yao understood she had something to say and that it needed to be kept from Qing Sihhuai.
Entering the living room with Shu Yao, Meng Jingwei looked at Qing Sihhuai. "Uncle Seven."
She greeted him calmly, pretending as if nothing had happened, even though she guessed that Xiao Cheng had contacted Qing Sihhuai in private.
Meng Jingwei walked in and sat on the sofa. Shu Yao got up and sat next to Qing Sihhuai, affectionately hooking his arm and shaking it. She pouted and said, "Ah Huai, I'll be with Weiwei tonight, so I won't keep you, okay? We two girls have secrets to talk about, hehe."
Shu Yao's innocent and cute demeanor was endearing, but it also made Meng Jingwei feel a bit heartbroken.
She knew Shu Yao genuinely liked Qing Sihhuai and also knew that Qing Sihhuai was using Shu Yao.
Meng Jingwei had warned Shu Yao repeatedly to be careful of Qing Sihhuai, but Shu Yao didn't listen and insisted on being with Qing Sihhuai.
What surprised her the most, however, was that Meng Jingwei hadn't expected Shu Yao to have a child so quickly.
Qing Sihhuai was truly a scoundrel.
Qing Sihhuai's handsome face curved into a gentle smile. He reached out and stroked Shu Yao's hair, asking half-jokingly, "Are you going to talk bad about me behind my back?"
Meng Jingwei poured herself a cup of tea, ignoring Qing Sihhuai's words.
Shu Yao, however, reacted quickly. Her pretty face lit up with a brilliant smile. "Hmph, of course, I'll talk bad about you. I'm going to tell Weiwei all your secrets, and then she'll tell Grandma."
"You, you're just mischievous."
Qing Sihhuai shook his head helplessly, stood up, and said to Meng Jingwei, "Little girl, since you're staying here tonight, I won't disturb you. Get some rest early, and I'll come by tomorrow."
"Okay, Uncle Seven, take care."
Meng Jingwei didn't have any extra words and cheerfully bid him farewell.
Shu Yao got up to see Qing Sihhuai out and chatted with him in the hallway for a while.
She didn't want to eavesdrop on their conversation; it was meaningless.
Instead, she sat on the sofa, holding her phone. She had hired several people from a private detective agency to guard downstairs and in the hallway of her apartment, instructing them to keep watch at all times.
Meng Jingwei was certain that Xiao Cheng already knew where she lived.
Today at the hotel, his hand was crippled and his leg broken by Old Master Chen. With his personality, he would definitely seek revenge.
Meng Jingwei was worried that her master might be sleeping soundly in the apartment and be taken advantage of, so she had to contact those people to guard her.
Creak—
The living room door closed, and Shu Yao walked in.
She stood there and gave Meng Jingwei a meaningful glance, then walked over to her, sat on the sofa, took off her shoes, and sat cross-legged, hugging a pillow as she looked at Meng Jingwei. "What's so mysterious?"
As Shu Yao asked, she unconsciously put her hand into her pajama pocket, her eyes looking a little evasive at her pocket.
In that fleeting subtle movement, Meng Jingwei instantly understood something.
She found it somewhat amusing.
It was her own foolishness. Shu Yao was now with Qing Sihhuai and naturally believed everything he said.
