Lin Xiaoya was stunned for a moment and looked away, not looking at Qiao Shaohan.

How can it be enough if I don’t hate you? How can a marriage without love last long?

Just like her parents, they have no emotional basis for being together and have conflicts every day.

The reason why they didn't get divorced was because no one in that small mountain village got divorced and they didn't want to be laughed at.

She has lived in the shadow of her parents' discord since she was a child, especially after Lin's mother gave birth to her younger brother, she was like a superfluous child.

"What? You have nothing to say?"

Qiao Shaohan raised his hand and pinched Lin Xiaoya's chin, making her look up at him, unable to escape his gaze.

"What should I say?"

Lin Xiaoya smiled bitterly. She didn't want to cater to Qiao Shaohan because she wasn't sure what their marriage would be like.

Ye Qinru and Gu Shenyan will divorce soon, which makes her no longer dare to look forward to marriage.

Maybe one day, she will also face this dilemma, right?

"Lin Xiaoya, don't you have confidence in yourself?"

Qiao Shaohan chuckled, and Lin Xiaoya shook her head, "This has nothing to do with confidence, Qiao Shaohan, I can only say that I will try my best to do my best during our marriage."

"That's enough."

Qiao Shaohan lowered his head and approached Lin Xiaoya's ear, "The most important thing between husband and wife is trust. Just trust me."

Lin Xiaoya nodded, "Okay."

…

Ye Qinru was sitting absentmindedly on the sofa in a daze. Seeing her like this, Yang Limei was very worried, but she didn't know how to persuade her.

She has said everything that needs to be said and can be said.

"Nanny, your face doesn't look good. Are you sick?"

"No."

Ye Qinru shook her head, looked at the time, and stood up, "I'll go to the canteen to buy you some food."

"I want to drink preserved egg and lean meat porridge, please buy me a portion."

Yang Limei confessed, Ye Qinru nodded and left the ward.

There were many people in the canteen, and Ye Qinru slowly moved forward in the queue.

The air was not very good, and she felt that her stomach was turbulent, and she couldn't help but cover her lips and retched a few times.

She knew that her state was a symptom of early pregnancy, and if she didn't deal with it as soon as possible, it would be out of her control if the Gu family found out.

She endured the discomfort and followed the team forward.

Finally, she was reached in line. She bought two portions of preserved egg and lean meat porridge and quickly exited the canteen, otherwise she would have to vomit it out.

She took the elevator back to the floor where the ward was located, turned a corner and saw the middle-aged man from last time looking outside the ward door.

"It's him again?"

Ye Qinru frowned and stepped forward quickly, "Who are you looking for?"

The middle-aged man turned around and saw Ye Qinru. He was stunned for a moment and strode away.

"Don't leave!"

Ye Qinru followed him, "The first time you said you were passing by, but what about this time? If you use the same excuse again, no one will believe it. Do you know my mother?"

The middle-aged man paused, sighed, and nodded, "I know you."

"Are you my mom's friend?"

Ye Qinru frowned slightly, "I've never seen you before."

"Maybe we're not friends after all."

The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "Sorry for causing trouble to you. I'm leaving now. Goodbye."

Ye Qinru watched him walk into the elevator, very puzzled.

Since he knew Yang Limei, why didn't he go into the ward to see her?

He came twice and didn't go in either time, which was very strange.

If they weren't friends, then what was it that made him come here twice in a row?

The answer is unclear, because the middle-aged man is already gone.

Ye Qinru turned back to the ward, put the porridge on the small table, and sat cross-legged on the hospital bed.

"Mom, do you know such a man?"

Ye Qinru described the appearance of the middle-aged man and looked at Yang Limei.

Yang Limei thought for a while and shook her head, "I can't remember, maybe I don't know him. What's wrong? Who is he?"

"Oh, nothing."

Ye Qinru didn't mention anything about that man again, "Mom, let's drink the porridge while it's hot."

"Okay, drink quickly too."

Yang Limei nodded, picked up a spoon, picked a preserved egg and put it in her mouth, "I haven't eaten preserved eggs for a long time, and I suddenly want to eat them."

Ye Qinru dug out a spoonful of preserved eggs. Before she could swallow it, she felt a sense of nausea. She covered her mouth and jumped out of bed and rushed to the bathroom.

Yang Limei frowned slightly when she heard the sound of vomiting.

Ye Qinru vomited everything in her stomach before she felt better. She rinsed her mouth with water, looked at herself with red eyes in the mirror, bit her lip, and then turned and walked out of the bathroom.

"Nanny, are you pregnant?"

Yang Limei asked Ye Qinru tentatively. Ye Qinru was stunned for a moment and denied, "No, I probably have some gastrointestinal cold. I will go to the doctor to get two pills later."

Ye Qinru is a medical student, so she must be very aware of her physical condition. She said she was not pregnant, and Yang Limei didn't think much about it. She warned, "Don't carry it if you don't feel well. Take medicine when you need to."

"knew."

Ye Qinru picked up the spoon and took a few mouthfuls of porridge, then closed the lid and said, "Mom, I'm going to see a doctor."

She left the ward and did not go to the doctor. Instead, she went to the atrium garden downstairs and sat on a bench in a daze.

She will have an operation tomorrow morning, hoping that this unwanted child can be reincarnated as soon as possible.

"Why are you sitting here?"

Gu Shenyan's voice sounded, and Ye Qinru raised her eyes to look at him, "Why are you here?"

"I didn't see you when I woke up in the morning. I should have come to find you a long time ago, but I was called back to the company by Assistant Ute for an emergency meeting, so I came late."

Gu Shenyan sat next to Ye Qinru, "I heard from mom that you are not feeling well. Have you seen the doctor?"

"Look, it's nothing. It's just a gastrointestinal flu. I've already taken medicine."

Ye Qinru lied because she didn't want Gu Shenyan to pay too much attention to her body.

"You go back. I won't go back to my old house tonight. I want to stay in the hospital with my mother."

"good."

Gu Shenyan didn't object and looked sideways at Ye Qinru, "I'll sit with you for a while and talk."

"Gu Shenyan, we have nothing to talk about."

Ye Qinru frowned, "One month will be here soon. I hope you will be more relaxed and go through the divorce procedures with me."

"Besides this, can't we talk about anything else?"

Gu Shenyan smiled bitterly, "Qinru, I really don't want a divorce. You have repeatedly forced me, have you ever considered my feelings?"

"I'm doing this for your own good."

Ye Qinru's words were hard for Gu Shenyan to accept, "What's good for me? If it's good for me, shouldn't you continue this marriage with me?"

He held Ye Qinru's shoulders with both hands, "Qinru, please explain clearly, why do we have to divorce? Just because of that night..."

"Shut up, I don't want to hear it!"

Ye Qinru raised her hands to cover her ears, refusing to hear what happened that night.
