Chapter 1181: Scheming
"Shut up! How could Xiaobai do such a thing? Do you still think the house isn't chaotic enough?" Wei Shufen scolded Ding Min, but in reality, her words had already aroused An Cheng's suspicion.
An Zhiyuan handed over a hospital test report.
"Dad, we weren't planning to have children! But now that this child has come, we're happy about it. We just hope to let things take their natural course. You know the nature of our jobs. How many times can I come home in a year? Bai Xiao is a doctor, and once she's busy, she doesn't come home for ten days to half a month. First, we are soldiers, and only then are we husband and wife, father and mother."
He didn't want to explain much.
"Bai Xiao! Let's go! Go upstairs and rest!"
Bai Xiao said to An Cheng, "Dad! I'm going up first."
To be honest, she would rather not stay at the An Family's house. It's too troublesome.
Wei Shufen, this stepmother, is really troublesome.
An Cheng took a glance and found out she was indeed four weeks pregnant.
Thinking back on his son's words! Indeed, the two of them are too busy—one is a soldier, the other is a doctor. You can't blame them.
Wasn't he not home often when he was young too?
No wonder they don't want children.
How could they take care of one?
His expression immediately softened.
Wei Shufen could see it; An Cheng wasn't angry anymore.
After all, it's his biological son. How could he stay angry for long?
Her eyes darkened.
Her mistake was not protecting her own child. Even if she poured her heart into being good to someone else's child, look, even An Zhixiang has become distant from her now.
If it were her own child, how could they be so distant from her?
This is what it means to not be close.
They all say it's hard to be a stepmother, and it really is hard for her.
Without a biological child, if An Cheng were to pass away one day, she could only imagine her days after that.
Who in this family would care for her, the aunt?
It seemed that only by marrying Ding Min into the family could she have any support in the future, otherwise, it would really be over for her.
Wei Shufen glanced at Ding Min, and Ding Min was still the same, after all these years, still so reckless.
If it weren't for An Zhiyuan and Bai Xiao's lack of understanding just now, An Cheng would have been even more displeased with Ding Min. "Xiaomin, don't go back today, stay in the guest room, and help me take care of people for these two days. I've been having headaches! I fear my old ailment has acted up again."
Her tone was gentle and calm, as if she genuinely wanted Ding Min's help.
Only then did An Cheng inquire with concern, "What's wrong? Is it because there have been too many people at home these days, stressing you out too much? That headache of yours has been a lingering issue from before. Okay, have a good rest these two days, Xiaomin, you stay and help your aunt!" At this time, An Cheng was willing to accommodate Wei Shufen.
Although he didn't like Ding Min either.
"Okay, uncle! Aunty, I got it. Aunty, I'll help you upstairs to rest now."
The little aunt wanted her to stay! She definitely had something in mind.
Ding Min was also unwilling to resign to the fact that An Zhixiang ignored her, feeling a strong sense of disappointment at times.
Back in the room, she closed the door.
Wei Shufen lay on the bed, and Ding Min held Wei Shufen's hand, "Aunty! You can't disregard me. You also know I am already like this. Whose fault is it that I'm in this situation today? Isn't it because of the An Family! Now they all want to live peacefully, but what about me?"
"You still speak. How could you overturn the table today? Don't you know that doing so would make your uncle dislike you more?"
She was anxious.
"I know, that's precisely why I did it. I wanted my uncle to feel guilty, but it seems like we're not even in my uncle's eyes." Ding Min wanted to help her parents.
"Then why did you do it?"
Wei Shufen had a severe headache.
"Aunt, my dad is about to be released, and my mom's health is like that. My family can't survive on my salary alone. What will we do in the future? If I don't make a scene, there won't even be a shred of opportunity in the future.
I once thought An Zhixiang still remembered the feelings he had for me back then, but it turns out men are just no good. When they like you, you're as precious as a gem, but when they don't, you're not even worth shit."
Ding Min gritted her teeth. She would not forget how good An Zhixiang used to be to her.
She just couldn't believe that An Zhixiang no longer had feelings for her, but she was the one who pushed him away.
Now she regretted it.
If only she could marry An Zhixiang! The An Zhixiang now is different.
He's been promoted to a colonel and has been transferred to zy Television, as a department head! They say zy Television is a sought-after workplace these days.
If she could really marry An Zhixiang, why would she still worry about work or anything else?
It would be so much better than her current situation.
"Stop talking about it. If you really want to marry An Zhixiang, then listen to me. These two days, behave yourself well and perform diligently. I will figure out a solution for you. This time, you must marry Axiang. I raised him with my own hands; I know him.
He's not the type to be heartless, so you must work on him."
Wei Shufen's mind was racing.
An Zhixiang is the easiest to deal with! After all, they've been good mother and son for many years.
Ding Min nodded.
This time, she learned her lesson.
As long as she could marry An Zhixiang, she was confident she could deal with Bai Xiao. Her greatest love back then was An Zhiyuan. Bai Xiao now wanted to have a smooth pregnancy, but there was no way.
She could guess that the past domestic disaster had something to do with An Zhiyuan and Bai Xiao for sure.
In that case, no one should think to have it easy.
Bai Xiao's nausea came and went quickly, as if the person who had been vomiting uncontrollably yesterday wasn't her.
Today, she felt much better.
Bai Xiao touched her tummy; this little one was really giving her a hard time.
She hadn't expected to become a mother in this lifetime, and Bai Xiao felt somewhat comforted! Her life was complete.
She had already used her special ability to check.
After examining, Bai Xiao discovered that her special ability seemed powerless regarding this child.
She couldn't find out what's going on with the child at all.
All she could find was that the baby was in no immediate danger and in a normal physical state.
Bai Xiao was puzzled.
It seemed this little treasure was indeed causing changes in her body; otherwise, the special ability wouldn't be unable to penetrate it.
She hoped he would grow up safely.
An Zhiyuan was a bit worried because Bai Xiao would be attending a conference report the next day. She was a contestant this year, and the upcoming work would be a heavy burden. He was concerned she couldn't handle it physically.
"Xiaoxiao, how about we withdraw from the competition?"
He was truly worried about Bai Xiao's health.
Today, during their comings and goings, An Zhiyuan never showed much emotional fluctuation or change.
But she could feel it. When she got out of the car and walked, every move she made, he was secretly watching her.
If she were to have any accidents, he would probably be the first to come forward to protect her.
This man really loved her dearly.
"It's okay, didn't the doctor say that as long as I am careful, I will be fine? You can't just take away my only chance to compete because of this. Rest assured, I also cherish this child very much. If there's any discomfort! I will immediately stop anything harmful to him."
Bai Xiao smiled! An Zhiyuan really treated her like glass.
An Zhiyuan also laughed; he was too worried.
