Jin Mingzhu stayed in the ward for half a month before the fetus' condition gradually stabilized. Gu Huaijin also handed over all his work and stayed with her day and night for half a month.

Gu Huaijin fed the spoon to Jin Mingzhu's lips and coaxed softly:

"Just one last sip."

Jin Mingzhu shook her head. It was probably because of her pregnancy that she vomited all the time. She couldn't even drink the preserved egg and lean meat porridge she liked before. She pushed away the bowl beside her, and her tone was tinged with grievance:

"I told you I don't want to drink it, but you still feed me. You just want me to vomit to death."

Gu Huaijin quickly handed the bowl in his hand to Wang Ma, told her to take it away, and held her in his arms, whispering to her in comfort:

"Okay, if Xianxian says she doesn't want to eat, then she won't eat. Xiaoguai, if you want something else to eat, I'll ask Aunt Wang to prepare it."

"I..." Before Jin Mingzhu could finish her words, a feeling of nausea hit her throat. She quickly got out of bed, staggered towards the bathroom, and vomited into the toilet.

Gu Huaijin quickly followed, frowned, and walked forward to gently pat Jin Mingzhu's back to make her feel more comfortable.

She vomited for a few minutes and then collapsed to the ground weakly. Gu Huaijin looked distressed. He carried her back to the sofa and handed her warm water.

Jin Mingzhu drank a few sips of water, suppressed the nausea in her heart, leaned back, and said weakly:

"Gu Huaijin, I feel so bad."

The other person sat next to her, put his arm around her waist, made her lean more comfortably, and kept comforting her:

"Little sweetheart, I know, it will be fine after a while, don't be afraid."

Perhaps because it was her first child, Jin Mingzhu's reaction was very strong. She had morning sickness all the time and couldn't eat anything. Even if she ate something, she would vomit it out quickly.

Seeing how uncomfortable and haggard she looked, Gu Huaijin wished he could bear it for her.

"Wife, you didn't eat much just now, what do you want to eat now? I'll ask someone to buy it."

Jin Mingzhu leaned against him weakly. When she heard his words, her dim eyes suddenly brightened. She grabbed his hand and said excitedly:

"I want to eat the spicy hotpot and stewed food at the entrance of Beijing University. They all need spicy hotpot."

"No!" Gu Huaijin flatly refused. She was paying extra attention to her diet now, so how could she be allowed to eat at a street stall?

Listening to his words, Jin Mingzhu turned to one side in annoyance and said angrily:

"You said you would ask someone to buy me whatever I want to eat. Now I want to eat spicy hot pot, but you won't let me. I don't want to talk to you anymore!"

Gu Huaijin showed a trace of helplessness. Seeing her angry look, he sighed:

"The doctor said you can only eat a light diet now. Can I go with you to eat Malatang later?"

He touched Jin Mingzhu's shoulder, and she pushed his hand away like an angry calf, saying stubbornly:

"Okay, okay! I won't eat anything and will starve myself to death."

Gu Huaijin was very adept at business, but he was repeatedly frustrated by Jin Mingzhu. Looking at her angry back, he smiled helplessly and coaxed:

"How about this, I'll ask someone to buy some and we can just eat a little bit?"

Jin Mingzhu turned around suddenly and asked excitedly:

"Are you telling the truth?"

Gu Huaijin smiled and responded:

"Yes."

Jin Mingzhu's eyes flashed with excitement and she revealed an innocent and lovely smile, as happy as a child who got candy.

Yingzi quickly bought the things back, and Jin Mingzhu waited anxiously by the side, saying:

"Gu Huaijin, open it quickly, the hot pot noodles inside are going to clumping up."

Gu Huaijin touched her head with some amusement, quickened his hands and unwrapped the package.

In order to dissipate the smell of spicy hot pot, the door of the ward was left open. Just as Jin Mingzhu was about to eat it herself, Gu Huaijin stopped her and fed her with chopsticks.

"Ah..." Jin Mingzhu just opened her mouth, looking forward to the taste of delicious beef balls blooming on her tongue.

There was a cry of surprise from outside the door:

"Don't feed."

The two of them stood there in a daze for a moment. Before Jin Mingzhu could close her open mouth, she turned around and saw Sheng Yichen and her aunt.

Madam Sheng walked over quickly, took the bowl from Gu Huaijin's hand, and couldn't help but scold:

"How can a pregnant woman eat these worthless things?"

As she spoke, Madam Sheng packed up the spicy hot pot, handed it to Sheng Yichen, and instructed:

"Take it outside and throw it away. Don't let your sister Wan eat it."

Jin Mingzhu watched the delicious spicy hot pot being poured out in front of her eyes, feeling pangs of regret in her heart, while Gu Huaijin's expression relaxed a little.

"Aunt..." Jin Mingzhu tried to struggle and grabbed the corner of Sheng Yichen's clothes.

Madam Sheng resolutely pulled her hand away and said,

"Xianxian, you may have loved eating these things before, but now you are pregnant, these unclean things will make you sick."

The maid brought the lunch box with hot chicken soup inside. Madam Sheng took it, blew on the soup in the bowl, and said comfortingly:

"Aunt made chicken soup for you this morning. Come and have some chicken soup."

"I don't want to drink..." She shook her head.

"Auntie added some yam in it, it's not greasy at all, try it."

Thinking that her aunt was still working hard for her at such an old age, Jin Mingzhu could no longer say no and drank the chicken soup in the spoon in one gulp.

"You go out first. I'll stay alone with Kankan for a while." Mrs. Sheng looked at the two of them and instructed.

"Okay." Gu Huaijin and Sheng Yichen left the ward.

Madam Sheng finished the chicken soup in the bowl and then asked:

"Xiao Xiao, what are you thinking now?"

Jin Mingzhu paused for a moment and said softly:

"Aunt, I don't want this child."

Madam Sheng sighed and said seriously:

"Xianxian, I'm afraid you will never be able to escape again in this life."

"You have no say in your marriage, and you have no say in this child either."

Jin Mingzhu suddenly felt disheartened and said helplessly:

"Aunt, I ran away, but I couldn't escape. I couldn't make the decision for myself or for this child."

Madam Sheng held her hand with some distress and began to persuade her:

"Xianxian, auntie wants to advise you that since you can't struggle or escape, can you try to accept the current situation?"

"Life is only a few decades long. If you keep being stubborn, you will bother others and yourself. Apart from life and death, these are all trivial matters."

Jin Mingzhu showed a trace of helplessness, lowered his voice and said:

"But aunt, I don't want to."

"Xianxian, there are not so many satisfying things in the world. People always gain something and lose something. Since there is no possibility for you and Xu Yang anymore, just silently wish him the best."

"Forget about your past and future and live your present life well." Mrs. Sheng held her hand tightly and advised her worriedly.

Jin Mingzhu nodded, and suddenly felt that her aunt's breath was a little weak, and asked:

"Aunt, are you feeling unwell?"
