Chapter 1179: Pregnant
"Dad, you have a problem with me, fine! I formally notify you! I can't have children, and I will never be able to have them. Are you satisfied now? Not only can I not have children, but I also won't leave An Zhiyuan. I am his wife, and I want to be with him forever.
If this is the answer you want, then you should be satisfied."
Bai Xiao tightly held An Zhiyuan's hand! She wouldn't let An Zhiyuan take the blame. This matter cannot be hidden, and sooner or later, they will have to face this issue, so let's tear it open now.
Let everything be exposed to the light of day.
An instant of silence followed.
An Zhigao felt somewhat conflicted. Bai Xiao was good and got along well with his brother. He could tell the two were very close, a visible harmony and affection between them.
But she can't have children!
Clenching his teeth, "It's okay if she can't have children, we can just adopt one. I'll arrange it for you."
He can't let his brother be heartbroken.
What era is it now, who cares about that anymore.
An Zhixiang looked sympathetically at his second brother.
"Nonsense, can adopted children be the same as one's own? If she can't have children, it's better to divorce early. It's not the old society anymore; divorce isn't a big deal. No descendants means cutting off the An Family lineage, that won't do." An Cheng's thoughts were still stuck in the 40s and 50s.
"Dad, how can you even say that?"
If An Cheng weren't his father, he could have punched him.
What kind of crap logic is that.
"No matter the era, you need children. Without children, there's no future! You are the best genes of our An Family, I can't watch you end it! Divorce immediately."
"Impossible! Dad, don't think about it, I won't divorce, I would rather die."
An Zhiyuan grabbed Bai Xiao's hand, "Let's go, we're not welcome here! Even if I am not welcomed either, we will move out."
He didn't even want to take the luggage.
In this life, An Zhiyuan never thought of separating from Bai Xiao, even knowing she couldn't have children, he never for a moment had such a thought.
"Ayuan, don't be angry with your dad, speak nicely, leaving in a huff won't solve the problem." Wei Shufen consoled in her heart, things turned out just as she predicted.
It's better if Bai Xiao herself could retreat knowing the difficulties.
"Xiaobai! Please persuade Ayuan, don't let him give his father a stroke. He is his father after all."
An Zhiyuan shook his head, "Aunt, don't bother, Bai Xiao and I won't be separated by anything! Not even my dad. If you want grandchildren, lineage, you have my big brother and third brother, one less from me doesn't affect your lineage."
Bai Xiao wanted to speak, but stayed silent, fingers interlaced, this man consistently stood by her side through such decisions.
How good.
To have someone protect you like this, it is truly happiness.
An Cheng was evidently furious, face red and neck swollen, "Fine, fine, one insists on doing business, making a mess, another can't control even a woman he married, can't have children and still cherishes her, yet another one brings someone back and wants to marry right away, doesn't give us any time.
You're all perfect! Your wings have grown, now you're all defying your dad! Do you all think I'm dead?"
An Cheng threw the towel he just used to wipe vegetable juice.
Because Bai Xiao and An Zhiyuan were standing very close, it hit her face squarely! A surge of nausea came over.
She got up and ran to the bathroom.
"Second sister-in-law, Xiaobai! What's wrong with you?"
Ke Lan was startled, thinking it was a reflex triggered by the old man's scolding.
Worriedly pacing outside the bathroom.
An Zhiyuan's brow furrowed, he took two steps to the bathroom door, opened the door, and saw Bai Xiao leaning over the toilet. He was clearly startled to see her pale face, and went up, his hand touching her back: "Feeling unwell?"
"..."
Bai Xiao had puked to the point she couldn't even shake her head.
She truly clashed with the An Family.
An Zhiyuan noticed something was wrong, picked her up horizontally and walked out: "I'll take you to the hospital."
Bai Xiao was dizzy and nauseous again. She wanted to tell An Zhiyuan to let her go, she wanted to vomit, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she did.
An Zhiyuan was a mess, but his eyes remained worried and fixed on Bai Xiao.
Without caring to wipe himself clean, he held Bai Xiao tightly in his arms and told his big brother, "Get me your car keys."
His big brother hastily took out the car keys, thought for a moment, "I'd better drive you to the hospital, you're unfamiliar with the routes."
An Zhiyuan carried Bai Xiao into the back seat, swiftly took off his sports jacket, face tense, touched Bai Xiao's pale, sweaty face, closed the car door, got in the car, and held Bai Xiao in his arms, Bai Xiao was seldom like this.
"To the nearest hospital."
Without needing to be told twice, the car sped off like an arrow.
Bai Xiao was dizzy with vomiting, completely drained of energy, she just leaned into An Zhiyuan's arms and fell into a deep sleep.
She vaguely heard someone speaking.
"Let's do a blood test!"
.........
When she opened her eyes, Bai Xiao felt much better, discovering her hand being tightly held, she saw An Zhiyuan leaning closer because of her movement.
She looked up to meet his deep yet gentle gaze.
"Awake?" His voice, like his eyes, was so gentle that Bai Xiao thought she was still dreaming.
Her gaze fell back on An Zhiyuan.
He was still in the shirt he wore at noon, looking well, but his eyes were bloodshot, and there were dark circles under them, his chin stubbled with beard.
"What happened to you?" Bai Xiao felt a bit of heartache.
An Zhiyuan bent over, helped her sit up, took a pillow and put it behind her back, his fingers swept her hair behind her ear, without answering her, he asked instead: "Still nauseous? Hungry?"
Bai Xiao shook her head, "Not really hungry, not so nauseous either."
He sighed, wrapped his arms around her waist, and his face turned serious, "We need to talk."
She scrutinized him carefully.
"I never like conversations that start this way."
"You might like what follows. It's something serious."
She studied his face, and when she saw his expression, her eyes became sharp, unable to guess whether it was good or bad news.
"What's the matter?"
"You're four weeks pregnant."
Bai Xiao placed her hand on her abdomen, upon hearing the news, her heart fell into a moment of daze, she was really pregnant.
Then came a rush of mixed emotions.
How could it be?
She looked up at An Zhiyuan.
His eyes were deep, looking at her, and then he slowly nodded.
Before she knew it, she was in his embrace.
One hand cupping the back of her head, the other around her waist, pulling her into his arms, feeling his firm chest through her clothes.
His hand reached her lower abdomen, there, nurturing a new life, their flesh and blood.
"Xiaoxiao, I am so happy, overly happy, but I'm also worried, could this affect you?"
Bai Xiao leaned against him, looking at him, slightly blushing, "I don't know! But whatever happens, I am so glad for this child's arrival."
In this life, she finally has everything she didn't in her past life.
She does not have any regrets.
