Ever since he agreed to marry her, that arrogant and willful Qi Yanxi disappeared.
Their wedding ceremony was put together in a rush. Their family members only got together for a meal before they went to get registered.
Luckily, Qi Yanxi’s father liked her. Not only didn’t he mind her background, he even gave her a portion of the shares of the Qi Group.
It was safe to say that Mu Li was finally living the life she had always dreamed of.
She married the man she had loved since she was little and had been given a card with no limit. Other people would clean up her father’s mess, and her mother didn’t have to work as a servant anymore.
Yet somehow, whenever she saw Qi Yanxi sleeping in their bed, facing away from her, she would be overwhelmed by sadness in the middle of the night.
She knew perfectly well that he didn’t love her.
Qi Yanxi never touched her. It wasn’t just sex. He wouldn’t even kiss or hug her, or hold her hand. Despite sharing a bed every night, they were as unfamiliar to each other as two perfect strangers.
“Why are you still up?” Seeing her still standing there, Qi Yanxi went up to her, felt her belly, and asked gently, “Are you unwell?”
Mu Li smiled bitterly. “No, I’m fine.”
“Go to bed.”
“… Alright.” That was all she would ever get from him. The gap between them would never close.
Qi Yanxi sat back at the computer to find Su Xiaomo online as well. The three women were chatting animatedly in the game.
Momo the Adonis: Shanshan, if you’re ever bullied, get the person’s game ID. I promise I’ll beat the shit out of them!
Xiaxia the Handsome: Idiot.
Shanshan the Princess: Momo, you’re awesome!
Qi Yanxi typed a line: Brother Mo, you’re a bad influence on the kid.
Su Xiaomo’s avatar drew out its saber and hacked at Qi Yanxi’s.
Qi Yanxi moved his avatar away in a hurry. He and Su Xiaomo were both in free PK mode and they accidentally hit An Xiaxia’s avatar. However, An Xiaxia stood there motionless and her HP dropped quickly until her avatar fell in the group.
Momo the Adonis: Shit! Flower, that’s your doing!
The Most Handsome: …
A line popped out of Fang Shanshan’s avatar’s head. “Xiaxia is throwing up again.”
“What? Any other symptoms besides vomiting?”
“She eats and sleeps a lot. And she’s always snacking…” Fang Shanshan tried her best to describe An Xiaxia’s condition. “Sometimes she doesn’t look so well.”
“Shit! I bet she’s pregnant! Symptoms start very early for some women. Tsk, tsk, all that hard work of Idol Yize wasn’t for nothing!” Su Xiaomo typed in excitement.
Just then, An Xiaxia was back at the computer and she asked resentfully, “Why am I dead?”
“Don’t mind such petty things. Xiaxia, when was your last period?”
An Xiaxia tried to recall and suddenly realized that something wasn’t right. “It’s been nearly two months…”
“Aaah! You’re with baby! Shanshan, get her a doctor!”
Fang Shanshan typed, “Consider it done!”
She called her family doctor, who arrived soon after and ran a full body examination on An Xiaxia. He then confirmed, “Yes, Ma’am, you’re pregnant, about 8 to 10 weeks.”
An Xiaxia was dumbfounded. She pointed at herself in disbelief. “Am I having a baby?”
“Yes.”
Fang Shanshan yelled, “Let me call Uncle Sheng and tell him the good news!”
“Don’t!” An Xiaxia stopped her before she knew it. Fang Shanshan was confused. “But why? Are you worried that Uncle Sheng won’t like the baby?”
