Waited for another hour.

Looking through the car window, that tall and handsome figure stood out in the crowd.

Shen Zhixia intimately linked arms with Qi Yu and whispered something in his ear.

Qi Yu wore a faint smile on his face and considerately draped a shawl over Shen Zhixia.

I averted my gaze. The carriage was quiet, so quiet that I could hear my own heavy breathing.

Suppressing the heartache as much as possible, my hand unconsciously touched my flat abdomen.

A few days ago, Qi Yu went on a business trip, and I experienced vomiting and diarrhea. Unexpectedly, after going to the hospital for an examination, I found out that I was pregnant.

I consulted about having an abortion, but the doctor told me that my uterine wall was thin. If I terminated the pregnancy, it was highly likely that I would never be able to conceive again in my lifetime.

The car door opened and closed, accompanied by the chill of autumn that entered along with the man.

I quietly moved my hand away from my abdomen as Qi Yu leaned in to kiss me, but I turned my head to avoid it.

He held my chin and seemed slightly displeased, "What are you hiding from?"

Without waiting for my answer, he pressed his lips against mine again, until I gasped and pushed him away, and then he chuckled softly and coaxed, "Are you angry?"

I lowered my eyes, pursed my lips, and remained silent.

A few minutes later, the car left Mingshui Xiu and merged into the congested traffic.

As we turned left onto Ping'an Road, continuing in the opposite direction of the return route.

I turned my head to look at him with some confusion, and heard him say, "There is a banquet at the old house tonight to celebrate my father's recovery. Will you accompany me?"

I was instantly stunned.

The old house he mentioned was the Qi family's.

Usually, when Qi Yu attends banquets, his companion is always Shen Zhixia.

In the public eye, they are the perfect match of talent and beauty, and they even have millions of CP fans on Weibo.

Qi Yu's father is unaware of my existence.

So, is he...

Introducing me formally to his father?

A complex joy gradually surged within me. After waiting for five years, he finally decided to bring me to meet his family.

After buying the evening gown, Qi Yu took me back to his villa instead of going to the company, which was unusual for him.

He took over the massive family business at the age of 22 and had strict demands on himself, never wasting time on unnecessary matters.

But today, he held me in his arms and cuddled with me on the couch while watching anime.

After only ten minutes, he became somewhat restless and leaned in to kiss my neck.

His large hand on my waist slipped inside my clothes, gently caressing, and his kisses gradually descended.

On the TV screen, Shin-chan's family noisily gathered together to eat, their ordinary and warm interactions.

As an orphan, this was something I had always longed for.

Watching the happy and warm scene on TV, coupled with his decision to finally introduce me to his father, I suddenly felt courageous.

"Qi Yu."

"Hmm?"

He responded absentmindedly, determinedly continuing his exploration downwards.

"I... I seem to be pregnant."

Qi Yu's hand on my waist froze for a moment, and a fleeting surprise appeared in his calm eyes.

After a long and silent pause, I heard his slightly heavy voice.

"When did it happen?"

"That time when you were drunk, you didn't use..."

Qi Yu stared at me intently, as if questioning whether I was lying.

It was only when I took out the pregnancy test result from my bag and handed it to him that he lowered his gaze to the paper. His long and dense lashes hid his emotions.

After a moment of silence, his gaze shifted to my small abdomen, and he absentmindedly tugged at his lips.

"Abort it, and I will compensate you."
