Chapter 86: Men Are All the Same
The door was locked, and no one answered her cry for help. Even Duoduo had been taken away.
“You Ze! You bastard! Just wait and see!”
Shiyao’s hysterical cry came from the second floor. The servants downstairs looked at each other and dared not make a sound.
Xiao Qing frowned. The girl was so much braver than she thought.
Shiyao took out her phone and dialed Xu Youyou’s number, crying.
Xu Youyou, who was forced to move into Zhong Yi’s villa, at this time was being examined by the doctor called in by Zhong Yi.
“Hi, Yaoyao,”
“Boohoo… Ahhhhh…”
Xu Youyou was startled by Shiyao’s cries before she could figure out what was happening.
Being stoic and strong, the girl had never cried her eyes out.
“What’s wrong, Yaoyao? Why are you crying?”
Xu Youyou sat up in a flash, and then was quietly pushed down by Zhong Yi.
“Youyou, You Ze grounded me!”
“What? Why!”
Zhong Yi snatched the phone from Xu Youyou’s hand, turned on the Speaker mode and placed it on a nearby cabinet.
‘How could a pregnant woman carry a cell phone? What if there’s radiation?’ Zhong Yi thought, ‘I must find time to teach her basic knowledge of pregnancy.’
Crying out of breath, she told Xu Youyou on and off about what had happened.
“Sir, the lie is unstable, and your wife has anemia. Don’t do strenuous exercise, keep taking the medicine, and take supplements. The first three months are very important. Please be careful…”
The doctor rattled on for a long time, but only Zhong Yi was listening. When Xu Youyou got out of bed reaching for her phone, she heard Shiyao’s roar.
“Who is pregnant, Youyou? What’s the first three months? Where are you?”
“I… I’m attending to my mother in the hospital! I just…just passed by the gynecologist…”
Xu Youyou gave Zhong Yi a glare, and then ran out covering her phone.
“Oh, you scared me…” Shiyao said in a low, aggrieved voice.
“Well, don’t worry, I’m fine! Oh, yes, you just said that You Ze had you locked up. It can’t be that serious. Maybe he’ll be all right in a minute.”
“Who cares! Even if he comes to me, I won’t forgive him!” Shiyao deliberately shouted at the door.
Xu Youyou looked helpless, ‘What is the girl gonna do?’
“Yaoyao, you’re married. As the young hostess of You family, you can’t be so childish anymore. Try to think about it, no matter whether you like that bodyguard or not, it’s the best You Ze did for you. He’s been more careful than anyone else since you hurt your leg. No matter whether you accept the marriage or not, you can’t change the fact. Yaoyao, people are dangerous. You should neither easily trust others nor hurt those who love you…”
Xu Youyou said in one breath, which she never thought she could do. After two minutes of silence on the other end of the line, Shiyao said slowly.
“Youyou, not everyone is qualified to love a man as excellent as him.”
Shiyao sighed and looked at the glittering ring on her hand, deep in thought.
She knew how nice You Ze was to her, so she indulged in this relationship earlier than he did.
She was deeply touched when hearing his promise of learning to love her.
Should she love him wholeheartedly? She didn’t dare to. Everything looked perfect, but her heart was always in panic.
The feeling that some unknown dangers were waiting for her haunted her and made her afraid to deepen the relationship. Xiao Qing was one of the worrisome people. She was moved by You Ze’s careful arrangement, but could not accept the company of a woman who loved her husband.
Women were always sensitive and selfish when it came to their husbands.
“Yaoyao, do you love him?”
Xu Youyou looked up at the twinkling stars. She and Shiyao used to be two bright stars in the sky, happy and carefree. Yet they now had their own worries.
“I…” Shiyao again fell into silence.
The word love, which she had almost blurted out, was swallowed by her with her last bit of self-pride.
She was afraid. She didn’t have the guts to pour her heart out again so easily. If You Ze was once hurt by his lover, then Shiyao’s heart was full of holes.
Shiyao suddenly felt that she was a bad girl since she craved the gentle kindness of You Ze but was not brave enough to admit her true feelings.
“See, you’re even not ready.” Xu Youyou chuckled.
“I don’t know what’s going on between you, but promise me to love yourself.”
“Yeah, I will.”
Shiyao was misty-eyed. Xu Youyou told a lot of jokes to try to make her laugh before hanging up the phone.
“Finished?”
No sooner had Xu Youyou turned around than she bumped into Zhong Yi’s chest.
Zhong Yi stood behind Xu Youyou quietly watching her talking on the phone, only to find that she had another side he never saw.
“Two hours. You’re not so quiet, are you?”This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
Zhong Yi wrapped her up with a coat, held her cold hand, and pulled her into the room.
“You heard it all,” Xu Youyou said lightly.
“Yeah, what’s up?”
“Men are all the same.” Xu Youyou said sarcastically.
He took the soup from the maid and put it on the table in front of Xu Youyou.
“Drink it.”
The day before Xu Youyou moved in, Zhong Yi hired a maid to take care of her diet.
She really needed some dietary supplements.
“We men are all the same, that is, we give everything to our loved ones.” Zhong Yi said as he lay idly on the sofa. He picked up his phone to send the recording to You Ze.
“Ha ha.” Xu Youyou drank the soup and sneered.
The reason why he didn’t let her go, she thought, was the child in her belly.
“Zhong Yi, we need to talk.” Xu Youyou put the bowl down after drinking a little. She had no appetite for it and had no intention to give birth to the baby.
“Um? Talk about what?” Hearing Xu Youyou’s words, Zhong Yi put down the phone and seriously stared at her.
“Are you expecting the baby?”
Xu Youyou touched her belly, as if she could feel the life.
“That’s my child. I have no reason for giving him up.”
Zhong Yi greatly regretted having lost his temper and left her when he first learned that Xu Youyou was pregnant in the hospital. Fortunately, she didn’t abort the baby, or there was no use crying over spilt milk!
“So, you want me to keep it, don’t you?”
Xu Youyou had been expecting the baby more and more since she found out her pregnancy. There were times when she wanted to keep it.
But she couldn’t, especially after Zhong Yi came into her life.
She could not bear seeing her child separated from his dad as soon as he was born, nor did she want her child to be called a bastard.
