Bo Ye was stunned when she heard that. She had been busy this month. She didn’t notice that her period had been delayed for half a month.

Could it be that she was pregnant?

The doctor looked at the handsome young man who looked confused. What was wrong with him? She could not help but laugh.

“I was asking her, not you.”

Fu Tingyan lowered his head and looked at Bo Ye in his arms, waiting for her answer.

Bo Ye looked up at Fu Tingyan, then at the doctor. “April 18th.”

“April 18th. Today is June 7th. It’s been more than 40 days. When was your last intercourse?”

The doctor asked while writing the medical record card.

Fu Tingyan remembered it very clearly. because it was his company’s opening ceremony. He replied, “May 8th.”

Bo Ye lowered her eyes. She was already prepared for it.

When Fu Tingyan heard the doctor’s question, he had been mentally prepared too. He was a little excited. How good would it be if it was what he thought?

The doctor filled up a form and handed it to Fu Tingyan. “Here, go for a urine test first.”

“Okay, doctor.”

Fu Tingyan took the form and was about to carry Bo Ye when she held his wrist and stopped him, “Let me go by myself.”

Bo Ye’s voice was cold and weak, but it was very firm.

Fu Tingyan stood up and paused. He looked at Bo Ye and found that her face turned paler than before.

He suddenly realized that Bo Ye had seen this coming. Was she unhappy?

Fu Tingyan immediately felt disappointed.

“Okay,” he responded softly and put her down. Then, he held her hand and walked out.

The procedure for the urine test was actually quite simple.

After taking the cup, Fu Tingyan accompanied Bo Ye to the ladies’ restroom. He stood outside and watched Bo Ye walk into the restroom in her pajamas. She looked thin and weak.

He suddenly remembered when he saw her for the first time. It was in the student’s apartment when she was about to take a shower. She was afraid that he would find out that she was a girl, so she put her clothes in front of her chest. Yet, he could see her back clearly.

At that time, she looked very thin. Right now, she still looked very thin.

In the beginning, he was always picky about her.

During the few years when they learned martial arts together, he was afraid that she would be too thin to endure hardship. He would often help her wash her clothes, help her apply the ointment, and so on.

He had never thought that he would have feelings for a man, but he did not care.

Now that he knew that she was a girl, other than being surprised, he was also delighted.

Just as Fu Tingyan was thinking about it, Bo Ye walked out with a pregnancy test in her hand.

The two of them did not say anything. Before they listened to the doctor’s explanation, they already knew what was going on.

The doctor said, “Congratulations, she is pregnant.”

When Fu Tingyan heard that, he subconsciously smiled. However, when he saw Bo Ye’s face looking calm and cold, he suddenly froze.

He looked up at the doctor and asked worriedly, “Then why does she feel dizzy, tight in her chest, and sleepy all the time?”

The doctor said, “Her pregnancy sickness is quite serious. She will get better in a month or two, so there’s no need to worry.”

“Thank you, doctor.”

Fu Tingyan thanked the doctor. He held Bo Ye’s hand and walked out while holding the medical record card.

An hour later, at the apartment.

Fu Tingyan bought some porridge because Bo Ye had not eaten anything for the whole day. She did not have any strength at all.

Bo Ye had no appetite at all. She held the bowl in her hand and barely sipped a little.

Fu Tingyan sat across and looked at her. He felt a little sorry for her. He remembered that when Qin Shu was pregnant, she barely had any reaction. She could eat and sleep well.

Looking at Bo Ye now, she was suffering a lot.

He thought of what she had said earlier, that she had never thought of getting married.

He clenched his hands on the table nervously. Then, he let go and clenched his hands again.

“You said that you have never thought of getting married. Have you never planned to get married, or do you not want to get married to me?”

Bo Ye put down the bowl and looked at Fu Tingyan. She clenched the spoon in her hand and said, “I don’t want to get married to you.”

Hearing this answer, Fu Tingyan’s hands were tightly clasped together. He didn’t know how to control himself, but he tried to stay calm as he asked, “Then what about now? Do you not want to marry me?”

Bo Ye stared at Fu Tingyan for a while, then nodded, “Yes.”

Fu Tingyan couldn’t help but ask, “Why? Didn’t you say that you like me a little?”

Bo Ye pursed her lips and answered, “I like you. I don’t have to get married to you.”

Fu Tingyan asked again, “Are you determined not to marry me?”

Bo Ye lowered her eyes and replied faintly, “Yes.”.

Fu Tingyan heard her cold answer. Perhaps, he didn’t have to ask further. However, he wasn’t willing to accept it. They had already come this far.

They even had a child.

After a long silence, Bo Ye thought that he had nothing more to say. To her surprise, he said, “But I can at least marry you, right?”

Then, he added, “It’s fine if we don’t get married. We can just be together as lovers.”

Bo Ye was stunned. She didn’t expect Fu Tingyan to say this.

Fu Tingyan stared at Bo Ye and waited for her answer. However, from the silence, he seemed to have guessed it.

There was silence for a long time. It was long enough for the steaming porridge to get cold.

Fu Tingyan didn’t know what to say, but he also realized a problem. Bo Ye really didn’t want to marry him, nor did she want to be with him.

Even though they had spent a night together and had a child, she still refused to be with him.

When they were in the hospital, he could vaguely feel that she was not happy to bear his child.

She was probably very upset.

Fu Tingyan lowered his eyes and said slowly, “Before I came here, I thought that if I worked hard, you would accept me. I failed to change my self-righteous personality. I always thought that if I worked hard, I will eventually get it. Now, I finally understand that is not the case.”

He suddenly felt a lump in his throat, making him feel suffocated. He raised his head to look at Bo Ye and smiled at her. “I thought…well… that night, I was too impulsive and caused you harm. I don’t know how to put it so that you can forgive me.”

He stood up and turned around in a slightly embarrassed manner. ” As for the child, the choice is in your hands. No matter what decision you make, I’ll support you. I’ll leave now. If you’ve decided, send a message and let me know. I’d be responsible…”

After he said that, he left without looking back.

Bo Ye looked at Fu Tingyan’s back as he left. She opened her mouth but didn’t say a word.

Fu Tingyan walked out of the apartment. He came here full of expectations, but he left with disappointment. How much of a failure was he? He had delivered himself to her, but she didn’t want him.

He came to the balcony. He hadn’t collected his suitcase because he was in a hurry.

Fortunately, he did not. He wanted to stay for a few days. She might be annoyed if he did that.

He dragged his suitcase out of the apartment area and walked on the streets in a strange city.

Perhaps, life was about meeting and leaving strangers constantly. Occasionally, one would bump into a few people by chance. He would also meet someone who made him stop and stare for a while. There would be constant meetings and partings.

It was very difficult to meet someone who could move forward together. When we met someone, we would be reluctant to let go.

He met someone who made him stop for a while, but it was not someone who would move forward with him.

He did not regret coming here full of anticipation. He only regretted his impulsive actions that night.

He had never thought of hurting her. He was only so impulsive because he was planning to marry her.

As the saying goes, the impulse was the devil.

He stopped and looked at the lonely street. People were walking in a hurry around him. He could not suppress the sadness in his heart.

He did not know whether he was sad that he had no emotional sustenance, or that his deep affection was rejected mercilessly.

Perhaps, he was sad that he was going to lose his child just as he was about to taste the joy of being a father.

Either way, it made him feel exhausted. He wanted to stop and let out his emotions.

He squatted down on the street by a trash can, with the suitcase on the other side.

He lowered his head in a dispirited manner, trying his best to calm down his chaotic emotions.

…

…

After Fu Tingyan left, the apartment fell into dead silence again.

Bo Ye lowered her head to look at the cold porridge. She gripped the spoon in her hand tightly and had the porridge slowly, one spoonful after another.

At this moment, the apartment door suddenly opened from the outside. She raised her head to look in the direction of the door, thinking that it was Fu Tingyan. She saw Bo Yin’s tall and straight figure. A hint of disappointment flashed across her eyes.

Bo Yin strode over. When he saw her pale face, he asked worriedly, “Ye, are you feeling unwell? I’ll take you to the doctor.”

Bo Yin had just learned that she was on leave to go home for a rest.

Bo Ye shook her head and said, “I’m fine.”

“Stop saying you’re fine, you look so pale. Come, I’ll take you to the doctor.”

As Bo Yin spoke, he stretched out his arm to hug her but was stopped by Bo Ye. She raised her head to look at Bo Yin and said, “Elder brother, I’m really fine.”

Bo Yin reached out to touch her forehead and found that it was not hot. “Have you been too busy recently? You don’t have to do everything yourself next time. Just leave it to them.”

Bo Ye did not know how to say it. She was pregnant.

Bo Yin looked at the porridge in front of Bo Ye and realized that it was cold. He said, “The porridge is already cold. Why are you still eating? I’ll get you something hot.”

After saying that, he was about to head out. However, his wrist was grabbed by Bo Ye. When he turned around, he saw Bo Ye’s pale face. “What’s wrong?”

Bo Ye said, “Don’t buy me anything. I’m already full. I have something to tell you.”

“Okay,” Bo Yin returned to the table and sat down. When he saw Bo Ye’s pale face, he was very worried.

Bo Ye lowered her eyes and pursed her lips. She seemed to be a little hesitant and did not know how to start.

Bo Yin sensed that she was conflicted, so he said, “Ye, is there anything that you can’t say to me? Tell me.”

Bo Ye looked up at Bo Yin and pursed her lips. “Elder brother, I’m fine. I’m just a little tired. I want to travel. I want to travel all over the world.”

She could not bear to tell him that she was pregnant. She had been back for so long and had helped her elder brother a lot. They managed to stabilize his position and the company was operating well. No one could threaten his position now.

Bo Yin looked at her and felt that it was time. “Ye, everything is stable now. Let’s get married. I’ll take you on a honeymoon. You can go anywhere you want.”

Bo Ye was most afraid of that. She replied, “Elder brother, I said when I came back. I don’t want to get married.”

Bo Yin said, “We grew up together. I will always protect you. You don’t have to be afraid of getting married. I will treat you well as before. I have waited for so many years for you to grow up. Now that you’re at a legal age, isn’t getting married what we are supposed to do?”

Looking at Bo Yin, Bo Ye thought of her childhood moments. He had always been protecting her. She felt so natural when Bo Yin proposed to marry her. She could also reject Fu Tingyan coldly.

But now, no matter what she did, it would be wrong. It was better to stay alone.

“Elder brother, I’m sorry. I don’t want to get married.”

Bo Yin stood up and hugged Bo Ye, he said gently, “Ye, are you afraid of marriage? It’s alright. We’re family. Even if we get married, we’ll still be the same as before. There won’t be much change. Will you marry me? We can be a real family.”

Bo Ye shook her head and said, “I’m sorry, elder brother. I just want to be alone.”

Bo Yin saw that Bo Ye was so insistent, so he could only give up. “Don’t reject me so quickly. We still have a long time. Take it slow.”

Bo Ye did not say anything. Right now, she did not have any strength at all. She just wanted to rest well.

Bo Yin stayed back to take care of Bo Ye.

Bo Ye did not say anything. After showering, she went to bed to rest.

…

The streets at night were much livelier than during the day.

Fu Tingyan squatted beside the trash can. He did not know how long had he been here, but his legs were numb. He simply sat on the suitcase and put his hand into his pocket. Initially, he wanted to get a cigarette, but in the end, he touched the medical record card.

He took out the medical record card and read it under the dim street lights. He looked at the diagnosis written by the doctor. It was an early pregnancy.

‘Child, you came at a bad time. I want to keep you, but I don’t have the right to let her keep you. The choice is in her hands. She definitely won’t want to keep you.

When you leave, I’ll go to the temple to offer incense to you. Next time, please reincarnate into a happy family.’

Fu Tingyan stared at the record for a long time before putting it back into his pocket. He had mixed feelings.

He had grown up with a silver spoon. He had his grandmother, dad, mom, and an elder brother. He had never suffered. No one ever dared to bully him.

His life journey had been very smooth. Was that why his relationship journey had to be bumpy?

He stood up, carried his suitcase, and found a five-star hotel to stay in. He was waiting for her answer.

In fact, he didn’t need to wait, he knew the outcome.

He was just waiting to fulfill his final responsibility.

He stayed in the hotel and didn’t go out. He didn’t even go to the bar for a drink.

Perhaps it was because he had experienced it once that he could take it better, or maybe this time, it was really over.

It was indeed over.

When he woke up, he sat on the balcony and smoked, looking at the scenery outside the window. From time to time, he glanced at his phone, waiting for a message from her.

After waiting for three days, he didn’t get a single message from her. It was as if she was totally gone.

Fu Tingyan picked up his phone and took the initiative to send her a message. “When are you going to the hospital? I’ll go with you.”
