There is a pregnant woman at home

There was a moment of silence in the atmosphere. Just as I was about to speak, the person in my arms suddenly covered his mouth and sneezed loudly.When I looked down, I realized that Ji Luojue was only wearing a thin knitted sweater in the frigid early spring. She didn't want to take off her coat and put it on her, wrinkled. head complaining.

"Why don't you know how to wear more clothes when you come out? It's so cold? Besides, you're still in confinement. What if you get sick?"

When I said this, I suddenly remembered something, and asked her while walking into the room while grabbing her wrist.

"Where's Mrs. Ji, why don't you see her?"

Actually, what I'm wondering is, with Mrs. Ji's love for her daughter, how could it be possible to let Ji Luojue run out like this without stopping her?It doesn't make sense, unless...

"She's coaxing Little Meatball."

Sure enough, only when facing her dear granddaughter, the usually cautious Mrs. Ji would ignore the existence of her precious daughter.

Little meatball is Ji Luojue's daughter, which is also the nickname of my little niece.Speaking of which, the name was still when I was in the hospital. Once Ji Luojue finished breastfeeding, I hugged the soft little girl in my arms and couldn't put it down. Seeing her silently grinning happily, she couldn't help but said: "It looks like a meatball, so cute."

After hearing this, Ji Luojue laughed, "Meatballs? That's fine, why don't you just call her by that."

I was dumbfounded: "I just said it casually. Is it too casual to call it this? Besides, the matter of naming..." I really don't care about it. Although I didn't say the second half of the sentence, I think Ji Luojue should understand.

Unexpectedly, she glanced at me with a complicated expression, and replied after a while: "It's just a nickname, it doesn't matter who named it, let's just call it this, I think it's pretty good." A very casual nickname.

But fortunately, the name Ji Mingyu was thought up by Ji Luojue a long time ago. Although I was a little confused at first, why the baby's surname is Ji and not Ye, but thinking about it, even if the surname is Ye, he can't enter our house openly, even her It is very likely that she will not be recognized in this life. It is better to follow the maternal instinct than to hang on to an empty surname and call it awkward and uncomfortable.

Besides, although the child's father is Ye Chengyi, he has not fulfilled any responsibilities as a father to this baby from the beginning to the end. In Ji Luojue's own words, I was responsible for her entire pregnancy. Take care, in comparison, I am more like a father than Ye Chengyi.

Uh...that's what I said...it's impossible to really take the place of someone's biological father...so, even though Ji Luojue once said indifferently that it was unnecessary, I just thought she was angry and went to work. Guessing that Ye Chengyi secretly called him to report the birth of the baby when he was not at home.

Although I didn't see the expression on his face, I could tell from the voice that Ye Chengyi's expectations for the birth of this child were far from what I had imagined. It is not even an exaggeration to say that he was not as good as my aunt. Expectations are high.

Of course, he also tried his best to express his joy, but it only made me hear more distress from it.That's right, this child is like a time bomb. Although she is not around, as long as she exists, she will be a huge threat to his stable family.

I sometimes think, if given a choice, Ye Chengyi would definitely give his all to exchange for this child not to be born, although it sounds really cruel, but there are differences in people's hearts, and then there will be choices.In order to keep the family he values ​​more and a pair of children who have developed a strong relationship, it seems reasonable to abandon this one who has never met and has no feelings for him—even if I really find it hard to agree.

At that moment, I suddenly realized that maybe I made this call purely by mistake.When I went home during the Chinese New Year, my mother asked Ji Luojue when her due date was at the family banquet. How could Ye Chengyi not know?If you want to, why wait for me to call back to report the situation?

What's more, if I remember correctly, Ye Chengyi never called since we came back from home after the Chinese New Year.I understand that he did this to let my sister-in-law calm down a little bit of suspicion and not to rise again, so I was careful.It's just that being understandable doesn't mean you can agree. It's no wonder that his behavior hurt Ji Luojue's heart. He also told me not to call back and tell him that the baby was born.

I sighed and didn't know what to say to him, so I wanted to hang up the phone immediately.

But Ye Chengyi's voice came over at the right time: "I... have been too busy recently, I don't think I have time to visit her. Xiao Er, please help me take care of her and the baby... Call me anytime if you need anything... ..."

"No need," I said in a cold voice, "There's nothing you need, just take care of your home, I'll take care of things here myself."

"Then I'll send you some money over there..."

"Need not."

In fact, when I finished saying this, I regretted it a little. He was a father, and he didn't take responsibility, and he didn't show affection.Why should I save money for him so righteously and awe-inspiringly?In this way, it is really easy for him to be a father.

I don't know if it was Ye Cheng who heard that I was in a bad mood, or he himself felt a little ashamed, and after a while he murmured: "Xiao Er, you also know my current situation, your sister-in-law is very suspicious, I see it really It's too tight, even if I really want to go there, I still have more than enough energy, don't I?"

After listening to it, I wanted to ask: Even?So have you really thought about it?

But after thinking about it, I thought, why bother?Since everyone already knows the answer, it doesn't seem to make much sense to expose it for a while.

"Okay, I see, it's okay to hang up."

Just as I was about to hang up, Ye Chengyi suddenly said, "Xiao Er, wait a minute."

"What's wrong?" I was a little impatient, mainly because I was extremely disappointed in Ye Chengyi.

"You and Luo Jue, are you really... first love?"

ah?I froze for a moment, not understanding why the topic suddenly jumped here.After thinking about it, I suddenly realized that in order to help Ye Chengyi hide it from my sister-in-law, I had to tell a lot about the past between Ji Luojue and me. I can't figure it out, I don't understand the situation.

In fact, these things are all up to me to say casually, if I want to continue to hide it from him, it would be easy.After all, for Ye Chengyi, sleeping with his sister's ex-girlfriend, even if it was an accident, would make such a thing uncomfortable, no matter what?

But for some reason, when I thought of how ruthless he was to Ji Luojue and the baby in order to protect his family, I felt angry in my heart, so I simply broke my heart and told the truth directly: "Yes, yes."

There was no unexpected silence on the other end of the phone, and I began to feel a little bit regretful: after all, it is my own brother, so I feel uncomfortable if he makes him feel uncomfortable.Just as he was about to say something to comfort him, another voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Then you... Is it really like what you told our parents, the old relationship has rekindled?"

This... Should I be telling the truth?As soon as the suffocation just disappeared, my hard-faced and soft-hearted nature became evident again.

"Uh... no, it's not a resurgence of old feelings..."

We are simply not in love, and if I am like this, it shouldn't be considered a lie, right?

I thought that after listening to my speech, Ye Chengyi on the other end of the phone would feel relieved and comfortable, but he didn't expect him to sigh softly.

sigh?I almost thought there was something wrong with my ears, or that there was so much earwax that I was hearing impaired.

What does this mean?Hearing that we didn't rekindle our old relationship, the old man seems a little disappointed?He, he, he... What was Ye Chengyi thinking in his heart?

"Brother," I was puzzled, and couldn't help but opened my mouth to ask, "Why are you talking about this all of a sudden?"

"Huh? Nothing."

It's nothing for a ghost to believe, so I continued to ask: "It sounds a bit strange to be a brother who suddenly cares about his sister's love life. Did my sister-in-law say something again?"

"It's not your sister-in-law, it has nothing to do with her."

It has nothing to do with her, so what do you think?

There was another silence on the other end of the phone, Ye Chengyi seemed to be thinking more like hesitating, as if he was making up his mind whether to say something or not.

"Actually, I'm thinking, if you really... It's good to be together, and now you just have a child... I didn't say that to ask you to help me take care of her and the baby... Oh, forget it, I What are you talking about, it’s okay, Xiao Er, you just act like a brother and didn’t say anything just now, I still have something to do, so I hang up first.”

There was a "beep" hang-up sound from the other end of the phone. I looked down at the phone with a speechless face: Yes, I tried to hang up several times but failed, but this time I was asked to hang up on my own initiative.

Then think about what Ye Chengyi said just now, what do you mean it's good for us to be together, and you said it's not for me to help take care of Ji Luojue and the baby?This is not a typical place where there is no silver 300 taels.

Originally, I was afraid that Ye Chengyi would feel uncomfortable if I told the truth, but now it's good, he would like us to quickly rekindle our old relationship, live happily together, and take it for granted that his child will be recognized by his name Now, in addition to the hidden danger of being detonated at any time like a timed bomb or a bomb, he can also ensure that his biological daughter is taken care of by his own aunt, killing two birds with one stone.

Could it be that having a relationship with his younger sister's ex-girlfriend and having a child is so insignificant compared to getting rid of Ji Luojue and the baby's invisible threat to his marriage and family?

What are men thinking about?I really don't get it...
