“Hold it in. If you vomit on me, I’ll beat you up.” The man’s words from gritted teeth came from above her head. Then, he carried her and quickly walked to the bathroom. When they finally reached the bathroom, Ming Yue couldn’t be bothered anymore. She rushed in and vomited into the toilet. When she was done vomiting all the contents of her stomach, she was already sweating profusely. Her face turned pale and no longer had its original radiance.

Her stomach was still churning. She felt that she had vomited everything she had eaten today. At the same time, she felt as if her energy had been sucked out of her body. She could not muster any energy. She was speechless. Pregnancy was really not something a human should experience. Wasn’t it just a piece of tripe?

While she was vomiting, Liu Jingxing went out and asked the waiter for a bottle of water. At this moment, he was holding the water and leaning against the door frame, frowning as he listened to the movements inside. Tang Tang walked over very carefully and stopped in her tracks from afar. “Um, President Liu, I’m really sorry…”

Liu Jingxing glanced at the cautious woman and paused on her bulging stomach for a moment before looking away. “You don’t have to apologize. No one forced her to eat it.” She was the one who didn’t have a brain. Tang Tang laughed dryly, thinking that a domineering president was indeed a domineering president. Every word he said was so arrogant. “I’ll go see how Ming Yue is.”

Ming Yue got up. The toilet automatically flushed by itself. Tang Tang went forward to support her. “Are you feeling better? Do you still feel nauseous?”

“It’s nothing serious. I just feel weak because I vomited so hard.”

“Yue Yue, you’re too pitiful. You’re only two months pregnant, but your morning sickness is already so serious. You probably can’t eat most kinds of meat anymore. I’ve always eaten meat during my five months of pregnancy. I eat whatever I want and rarely vomit.”

Ming Yue also knew that pregnancy was not easy. She had been thin since she was young and constantly had headaches and fevers. Her physical fitness was also not good. Now that she was pregnant, her health would probably take a turn for the worse. Her face was pale as she sighed. “I’m so envious of you, Tang Tang-jie.” The two of them washed their hands and Ming Yue rinsed her mouth. When she walked out of the bathroom, Ming Yue did not expect the young master to still be there. When he saw her coming out, he frowned and stuffed the water in his hand into her arms. “I’ll send you home.”

Ming Yue did not want to trouble him, nor did she want to be alone with him, so she rejected him without hesitation. “No need to trouble yourself. I can take a taxi back. Thank you.” Liu Jingxing did not expect her to refuse. He narrowed his eyes with a dangerous glint as he looked at her with a penetrating gaze. “Alright, as you wish.” With that, he turned around and left.

He was just pitying her because she vomited. Since she didn’t appreciate it, he decided not to care about her. She wasn’t the woman he liked, nor did she qualify as his official wife. He wouldn’t endeavor to treat her well. What he didn’t know was that Ming Yue rejected him precisely because she knew that she meant nothing in his heart.

After Liu Jingxing disappeared from her sight, Tang Tang, who was standing at the side, said softly, “Yue Yue, let your brother-in-law drive you home. Go back and rest early.” Ming Yue shook her head. Tang Tang and her husband had just started eating. Because of what had happened to her, they were probably not full yet. It would be a waste to leave like this, so she accompanied Tang Tang and her husband for a while.

At three o’clock in the afternoon, Tang Tang instructed her husband to drive Ming Yue back to Fairview East. They parked the car at the entrance of the community. They did not say that they wanted to go to her house to take a look. After all, Ming Yue and Liu Jingxing were not an ordinary couple. Tang Tang had to admit that she was inexplicably afraid of President Liu.

Ming Yue returned home and soon fell asleep on the sofa. She was woken up by the phone ringing. She looked at the clock on the wall. It was already past five o’clock and she had slept for more than two hours. The person who called her was her childhood friend who had grown up with her. Ming Yue’s eyes widened as she picked up the phone. “What’s wrong? Xin Xin?” The woman on the other end of the phone sobbed.

“Yue Yue, I don’t want this child anymore. I want to get rid of it.”

“Why?! What happened?!” Ming Yue suddenly sat up from the sofa and felt her vision darken for a few seconds. She had low blood sugar, but she couldn’t be bothered with it now. She really didn’t expect the other party to suddenly make such a decision.

“Stop crying first. What happened? Why do you suddenly not want the child anymore?”

“I’ve been thinking about it for a long time. I also don’t want to, but I have no choice.” Gao Wenxin sounded sad and helpless. Ming Yue was anxious. “Where are you now? I’ll be there soon, Xin Xin. Don’t be careless. We’re talking about a life here. Moreover, it wasn’t easy for you and Xing Yixiao to get to where you are today. You can’t give up so easily.”
