Chapter 355: Chapter 362 Ye Yunzhu

Ye Yunzhu waited for a while before receiving the test results. Upon seeing them, she couldn’t help but smile bitterly; she was actually pregnant.

Needless to say, this was the result of the relationship they had after drinking too much that day. This outcome was truly unexpected for Ye Yunzhu.

Back in high school, when she had a fling with Li Yifei, she got pregnant. Afraid of her parents finding out, she secretly went for an abortion, which resulted in severe bleeding. It also exposed her affair with Li Yifei and led to him joining the military.

This time, it was still an accident. She wasn’t prepared to have a baby at all.

After thinking for a while, Ye Yunzhu took out her phone and called Li Yifei. He quickly answered and asked, "How were the test results?"

"I’m pregnant." Ye Yunzhu uttered four words.

"What? Are you kidding me? Don’t tease me, what’s really happening?"

"Hehe, just joking with you. It’s nothing. By the way, I wanted to ask, what if I really were pregnant?"

"What to do..." Li Yifei hesitated immediately. Now that he was married to Xu Yingying, albeit reluctantly, he was still her husband. If Ye Yunzhu had his child, how should they handle it?

"Don’t worry, I’m not really pregnant. Look at how nervous you are. I won’t bother you anymore; I have to get back to work." After finishing, Ye Yunzhu hung up the phone.

In her heart, Ye Yunzhu didn’t want a child right now. Her career was at a critical point. She was about to step up after this study trip to school. Getting pregnant at this moment would certainly affect her promotion. However, if Li Yifei really liked the idea of having a child, she would rather give up this opportunity and have the baby.

Li Yifei’s indecisive attitude made her realize that he wasn’t ready to be a father either, so she decided not to keep the child.

Without leaving the hospital, she went directly to the obstetrics and gynecology department, planning to terminate the pregnancy. The child was still small, only about a month old. Whether through surgery or medical abortion, it wasn’t a severe issue. After a few days of rest, she could return to work, and no one would know.

Abortions also required some tests, but when she got the results, the doctor’s words threw her into chaos.

"You can’t have another abortion. The last one already caused substantial damage to your uterus. If you undergo another abortion, you might never be able to have children again."

A woman may temporarily not want a child, but she cannot go childless for life. Ye Yunzhu didn’t have the mindset of never wanting children.

"Sigh, how did I get pregnant just like that? This guy is too accurate!" Ye Yunzhu felt some regret but quickly made up her mind. She had to have the baby; it was her only chance to experience motherhood, her only opportunity to have a child with Li Yifei.

"Judging by his attitude, if I tell him now that I’m pregnant, he’d be really shocked. I’d better not tell him for now. I’ll hint at it gradually, making him mentally prepared for fatherhood, and then tell him."

Ye Yunzhu, befitting her role as a village leader, quickly made this decision.

Li Yifei remained unaware that he was about to become a father. He was currently with Lin Qiong at the City Bureau.

After cracking a big smuggling case last time, the funds Lin Qiong and he invested were finally being returned. Li Yifei naturally needed to be present for this matter.

Since these transactions involved large amounts of money, the City Bureau conducted a thorough investigation. When it finally came time to disburse the money, there were many procedures involved. After a busy afternoon, Li Yifei finally got all the money in his hands.

He and Lin Qiong immediately headed to the bank. Lin Qiong had to withdraw the one million yuan; it was the money her parents had saved their entire lives, so it should be returned to them now that it was used.

"Now you can give the money to your parents, and you don’t have to hide it anymore. I believe they’ll be proud of you," Li Yifei jokingly teased Lin Qiong.

Lin Qiong glanced at Li Yifei and said, "Yes, once I return the money to them, I don’t have to say I have a boyfriend, and I’ll be free again."

Hearing this, Li Yifei couldn’t help but feel uneasy. He asked, "Are you saying our relations will be completely cleared?"

"What do you want then?" Lin Qiong stared at him and said, "Just because we had a thing, doesn’t mean I’m your woman. I did it for my career, understand?"

Meeting her gaze, Li Yifei didn’t back down, matching her stare.

"Alright, if that’s what you want, I have nothing to say. We’ll still be friends, right?" Li Yifei smiled at her decision but felt a bit lighter inside, knowing he wouldn’t owe Lin Qiong anything. Yet, he also felt a pang of loss, as he had begun to develop feelings for this awkward policewoman.

"Don’t tell me you’re catching feelings for me?" Lin Qiong suddenly posed this question.

Li Yifei gave a dry laugh, "What more could I want? I’m already married."

"Married? To whom?" Lin Qiong’s eyes widened in anger.

Somewhat reluctant to meet her gaze, Li Yifei said, "Xu Yingying."

"Xu Yingying... ha, you really did it, married a CEO. You’re really made now." Unexpectedly, Lin Qiong chuckled and punched him on the chest, but her smile seemed forced.

"I worried you’d be really upset, but since you want to let everything between us go, I’m relieved." Li Yifei said.

Lin Qiong curled her lip in disdain, "You think you’re so valuable? Now that you have a wife, behave yourself, don’t be philandering around, especially with Michelle."

"I already told her."

"Good, at least you still have some conscience left. Now it’s past five; hurry home, or your wife won’t forgive you for being late."

Lin Qiong opened the car door and got out, walking briskly away without looking back, turning a corner and disappearing from Li Yifei’s sight.

Li Yifei sighed. Resolving matters with Lin Qiong in this way was perhaps the best outcome and drove directly back to Xu Yingying’s house.

Before returning home, Li Yifei had mentally prepared himself. Now that he was married to Xu Yingying, had said he wanted to spend his life with her, and they had been intimate, he needed to act like a proper husband rather than a stranger with Xu Yingying.

He specially bought some groceries before heading home. Although it was after work hours, neither Xu Yingying nor Xu Shanshan had come back, so he started getting busy in the kitchen.

In just over ten minutes, Xu Shanshan arrived, running straight into the kitchen excitedly: "Brother-in-law, came back so early to cook for us, huh?"

Li Yifei, feeling content, replied with a smile, "Yes, tidy up and call your sister; see when she’s coming back."

Xu Shanshan agreed and quickly called Xu Yingying. She soon returned to the kitchen, having changed into a sleeveless top and shorts, excitedly saying, "Brother-in-law, my sister said she’ll be back in half an hour."

Li Yifei nodded, "Then I’ll start cooking now, so she can eat as soon as she gets back."

Standing beside him, Xu Shanshan looked curiously at Li Yifei, "Brother-in-law, what’s up with you today? Suddenly being so nice to my sister?"

Li Yifei continued what he was doing, smiling, "Your sister and I are a couple, of course, I should be nice to her. Otherwise, what kind of a husband would I be?"

"But you... haven’t truly fallen in love with my sister yet?"

"We’re married, what’s love got to do with it? Love is for those unmarried like you."

"Giggle... Brother-in-law, you’re really not bad like this. I was worried you’d keep being awkward with my sister."

"Why be awkward? Your sister is beautiful, talented, and wealthy. Even if I don’t work, she can support me. What man wouldn’t want a wife like that? I sure got lucky."

"Pfft..." Xu Shanshan laughed, patting his shoulder, "Brother-in-law, stop joking. You got lucky? I’d say my sister’s the lucky one. As long as you can think this way, I’m relieved. I was worried you’d be unhappy being with us."

"Heh, I’m not unhappy. I’m quite happy."

"Plus, you have a sister-in-law like me; you have to be happy, or you’d be letting me down."

Li Yifei pretended to be stern, "I married your sister. What does that have to do with you?"

"Hee-hee, everyone says a sister-in-law is half an important to her brother-in-law. When you got married, it included me too."

Li Yifei was left speechless. Jokes between a brother-in-law and sister-in-law were normal, especially in rural areas where it was a common thing, but they were just that—a joke. Very few ended in anything more. Yet Xu Shanshan, as a sister-in-law, somehow seemed excessively close to him.

"Brother-in-law... my sister won’t be back for a while. My feet are tired. Could you massage them for me?" Xu Shanshan unexpectedly made a request that both made his heart race and left him awkward.
