The next day, after a meeting at Addy Pharmaceutical Company, Yin Xi walked back to her office, and Xie Yifei followed her in to have her sign a few documents.
"Yifei, Ah Zhe has already left. My house in Hua Ban Li is vacant and no one is living there, and the rent is still good for several more months.
Would you consider bringing your godmother to move in? That way, you'll be closer to Jian Fan."
Yin Xi signed the last document and looked up at her.
"This… I need to discuss it with them." Xie Yifei quickly withdrew the documents, her eyes showing a hint of evasion.
But Yin Xi grabbed her right hand and, looking at the diamond ring on her middle finger in surprise, asked, "Have you two gotten engaged already?"
"Mmm." Xie Yifei, seeing she had been discovered, could only nod.
"Such a big event, why didn't you inform me? I could have celebrated with you both." Yin Xi's happy tone was tinged with a hint of reproach.
"It was very sudden, so I didn't tell you. Only my mother knew." Xie Yifei's eyes were clearly a little unnatural.
Yin Xi immediately noticed and tightened her grip on her hand, asking, "Yifei, is there something you're hiding from me?"
Her small face instantly flushed red. Xie Yifei leaned close to her ear and whispered a few words.
Her eyes widened in surprise, and Yin Xi exclaimed excitedly, "What? You're pregnant?
Does Jian Fan know? Does Godmother know?"
Xie Yifei nodded, "They know, that's why the engagement was rushed."
"This is wonderful news! Yifei, congratulations! I must give you two a grand gift."
Yin Xi was genuinely happy for her, but then she saw Xie Yifei's somber expression and couldn't help but ask,
"Yifei, why do you look so unhappy? Don't you want this child?"
"Mmm." Xie Yifei finally revealed her true feelings, "Jian Fan and I are just starting our careers, and this child has come at a very inconvenient time.
I want to terminate it, but Jian Fan and my mother disagree and insist that I give birth to it."
Upon hearing this, Yin Xi stood up from her chair and pulled her to sit on the sofa.
"Yifei, you're worrying too much. I think Jian Fan and Godmother are doing the right thing.
Career is important, but no matter how important it is, it's not as important as a child. He is a living being, after all.
Haven't you heard that every child's arrival is a karmic connection with their parents from a past life, and they are here to repay a debt of gratitude?
How can you cruelly sever this connection?
Think about my situation back then, with a broken home and nothing, far worse than your current circumstances, and I still gave birth to my children.
Yifei, you must think carefully and never do anything that you'll regret for the rest of your life."
Tears instantly welled up in her eyes, and Xie Yifei hugged her, her voice choked with emotion, "Xixi, actually… I'm also very conflicted.
I'm afraid that if I get pregnant and have a baby, I won't be able to help you.
I'm afraid that after giving birth, I won't be able to provide them with a good life.
I'm afraid…"
Yin Xi patted her shoulder and smiled, "Yifei, when did you become so indecisive?
Please don't think like that. Just remember one thing: when the cart reaches the mountain, there will be a way. All difficulties are insignificant in the face of life and can be resolved.
And I must also tell you, if the first child is aborted, it can affect future fertility."
"Really?" Xie Yifei looked at her in shock.
"Absolutely. I am a doctor, and I have encountered such patients." Yin Xi nodded at her very seriously.
After Yin Xi's earnest persuasion, Xie Yifei finally gave up the idea of an abortion.
After seeing her out of the room, Yin Xi immediately called Jian Fan.
"Jian Fan, I already know about Yifei's pregnancy. What are your plans?"
Jian Fan replied, "I've already proposed to her and want to have the wedding as soon as possible."
Upon hearing this, Yin Xi felt very pleased. Jian Fan was indeed a responsible man; neither she nor Xie Yifei had misjudged him.
"In that case, you don't have a house yet. The landlord of the Hua Ban Li villa I used to live in is looking to sell, so I'll buy it and give it to you as your wedding home, what do you think?"
"No, Sister Xi, thank you." Jian Fan immediately refused. "I can't always accept your gifts. This time, I want to buy a house with my own capabilities.
I've already seen a villa in Hua Ban Li and I'm very satisfied. I plan to get a mortgage."
