“Am I not an accident?”
Ji Qingyan looked at Lin Yi, “I want to know, between the two of us, who is really the accident?”
Lin Yi was rendered speechless by the question, unsure of how to respond.
In fact, the pregnancy was not planned by either of them.
So, they were both accidents.
But at this moment, he couldn’t respond like that.
“Of course, she was an accident.” Lin Yi said:
“You were properly and officially married, right?”
Ji Qingyan didn’t speak, absolute silence filled the room, only their heartbeats remained.
“Let me have some quiet time.”
“Okay.”
Lin Yi didn’t say anything else, he knew Ji Qingyan too well.
She understood everything, so there was no point in saying anything.
Moreover, she knew about his affair with Liang Ruoxu.
At this time, even if he wanted to explain, he didn’t know what to say.
Lin Yi didn’t linger in the room and prepared to leave.
But just as he was opening the door, Ji Qingyan’s voice rang from behind him.
“Why is she still in Zhong Hai?”
“Hm?”
Lin Yi was startled, “If not in Zhong Hai, where would she be?”
“It’s already been five months, is she still working?”
Lin Yi understood what Ji Qingyan was referring to.
“Her job is different, she can’t leave unless it’s a critical moment.”
“Her family is here as well.”
Lin Yi shook his head, “No, but she has two nannies responsible for daily living.”
“Go find her.”
“Ah? Why would I go find her?” Lin Yi was somewhat panicked.
Ji Qingyan didn’t speak, she wiped away her tears, and after a long silence finally spoke:
“I had thought about this happening, I just didn’t expect it so soon, nor did I imagine it would actually happen.”
Ji Qingyan had long been aware of Lin Yi’s relationship with Liang Ruoxu, and since she chose to reconcile, it was an implicit acceptance of their relationship.
Having accepted it, certain things were bound to happen.
It wasn’t something she could stop.
But it all came too suddenly, without giving her a chance to dodge.
“You are the official wife, what would I go there for?”
“I don’t want to be a selfish person…”
Mid-sentence, Ji Qingyan’s tears began to fall, pitter-pattering down.
“It’s my bad luck to have fallen for you, and I don’t wish for others to suffer. If I were to keep you tied to my side every day, that would make me, Ji Qingyan, selfish. I don’t want to be the bad person.”
Lin Yi’s heart trembled, Ji Qingyan’s kindness allowed her to let go of all the grievances in her heart over this matter.
“In this situation, there’s no right or wrong, stop thinking so much. Your health is what matters, stop crying.”
“I don’t need you to worry about it.”
“Having strong emotions during pregnancy can make the baby dumb, not for your own sake, but for the baby’s.”
Lin Yi’s words had an immediate effect.
Ji Qingyan stopped crying.
In her heart, the child always came first; she wouldn’t let the baby in her belly face any risks.
“I’m going to sleep now, you should leave.”
Lin Yi paused for a moment but ultimately nodded.
At this time, giving her some quiet space was the best option.
Lin Yi went to the guest bedroom, sat cross-legged on the bed, and watched the moonlight outside the window until dawn.
According to Lin Yi’s plan, after finishing his resignation, he would take up the Daoist priest job and start working on the tasks slowly.
But now, with this situation, Lin Yi wasn’t in the mood at all.
