On the sixth day, Xu Tingyu finally confirmed that both she and the baby were probably out of danger.
This man really wanted this baby.
She secretly heaved a sigh of relief in her heart and settled down in the hospital.
Qi Shifeng accompanied her most of the time.
He was very busy with work, but he still insisted on working in her ward.
He had changed her to a bigger ward with beautiful French windows. She often sat by the window watching the sunset.
And he arranged his desk beside the French windows.
The prestigious president of the Qi Corporation, in order to make more room for her to move around, had to make do with working on a computer desk less than one square meter.
Even his long and superior legs couldn't fit completely and had to stretch forward.
But despite the inconvenience, he still insisted on working here.
It was as if he wanted to seize this last bit of time to be with her.
At first, Xu Tingyu was quite scared. She was afraid that he had a bigger plot and was just using this tenderness to deceive her.
Then she suddenly thought.
What else did she have that he wanted?
Her once - prosperous family was ruined, and all her wings had been broken...
She had nothing but herself.
And he hated her the most.
What else could be taken away from her?
She wracked her brains but couldn't figure it out. All she could do was live more and more cautiously.
However, it wasn't long before Xu Tingyu knew what he wanted.
When she was 33 weeks pregnant, she learned that the baby in her belly was a boy.
She was extremely shocked and repeatedly confirmed with the doctor who did the examination, "How could this be? Is there a mistake?"
The doctor gently pointed at the image and said to her, "There's no mistake. We got this result before and have already reported it to President Qi."
Only then did she realize that this man had known she was having a boy before they went shopping.
No wonder he had joked with a smile when she was buying clothes.
Her certainty at that time must have been a joke in his eyes.
He knew it was a boy, so he wanted her to give birth.
The Qi family's preference for sons over daughters really ran through the whole family.
She looked at the image, her face deathly pale, unable to utter a complete sentence.
She was brought back to the ward in a daze.
Qi Shifeng wasn't there today. He had gone back to the company for a meeting, it was said.
He had been absent from the company too much recently, and even the board members were complaining.
He was the recognized person in power of the Qi Corporation, but in front of the old master, his position didn't seem so absolute.
She sat back in the setting sun again, stroking her belly, feeling extremely uneasy.
The soft light shone through the window and landed on her belly. She stroked it absent - mindedly.
As she stroked, her heart suddenly ached, and she burst into tears.
If this child was a daughter, she could still harbor a little fantasy of taking her away.
Now that it was confirmed to be a son, there was no way she could take him away.
And what about her?
Would they separate her from her flesh and blood, or keep her outside?
She couldn't figure it out. It seemed that neither option was acceptable to her.
Why was fate so harsh on her?
When Qi Shifeng pushed the door open and came in, he saw a person trembling with sobs in the setting sun.
He knew she had an examination today, and his face immediately changed slightly. He quickly walked over and half - squatted in front of her.
"What's wrong? Why are you crying?"
He hadn't received any message that the examination results were abnormal.
What was going on?
She was shivering with sobs. Through her blurred teary eyes, she saw it was him, and she cried even louder.
Qi Shifeng didn't dare to press her. He just pulled her into his arms and gently comforted her.
It wasn't until she calmed down a little that she suddenly pushed him away, "Qi Shifeng, I, I..."
She stammered for a long time but didn't know how to start.
Should she ask him how he would deal with the child in the future?
Or ask him how he would deal with herself?
Or ask him why he had treated the Xu family like that.
But when the words reached her lips, she suddenly realized that each of these questions was a minefield.
She couldn't anger him.
Whether in front of him or the old master, she didn't have the right to say no.
So, under his confused gaze, she softly said, "I still want a phone."
Qi Shifeng raised his eyebrows, "You cried because of this?"
She shook her head, "No. They told me today that I'm having a son."
As she said this, her eyes turned red again.
Qi Shifeng laughed. He hugged her again, "So you don't like sons that much? If the baby hears this, he'll be unhappy."
She was stunned and subconsciously retorted, "I don't dislike him. It's just, just..."
It was just that she didn't dare to like him.
But she couldn't say it out loud and just fell silent.
Qi Shifeng didn't force her either. Instead, he brought the topic back to the phone, "Got it. I'll bring you a phone tomorrow."
She didn't expect him to agree so easily. For a moment, she didn't know what to say.
After thinking for a while, he added, "However, you can ask your friends to come and visit you, but you mustn't leave the sanatorium by yourself."
He hadn't asked her why she had gone with the old master's people at that time. He could guess that she had no choice.
Whether she went obediently or was taken away by force, it was the same.
Going by herself would at least save her some suffering.
Naturally, she also knew that she should trust him more now.
So she nodded, "Okay, I know."
In order to survive, she desperately suppressed all the hatred and pain in her heart.
She was being hypocritical and cowardly, putting on a false front.
Qi Shifeng hugged her and sat in the setting sun until the streetlights came on. Then he suddenly asked her, "Do you have anything you want to say to me?"
His voice was very soft, with an indescribable expectation and hesitation.
Two very contradictory emotions appeared at the same time.
Xu Tingyu didn't know what he meant. After thinking for a long time, she asked him, "Yes. Qi Shifeng, do you love the baby?"
She had never asked Qi Shifeng about the word "love".
She had grown up surrounded by love and had never doubted whether others loved her or not.
When she got married, before her father sent her into the church, he had patted her hand and said to her,
"My daughter Tingyu is such an outstanding girl. He will love you because you deserve to be loved."
At that time, she had been so overwhelmed by love that hearing her father's words, she would only blush shyly.
So she had never asked whether this man loved her or not.
She had thought that he was just slow - to - warm - up, reserved, and mature, and wouldn't easily express his love.
At least after they got married, they had had a long period of peaceful coexistence.
So she had been certain that he had feelings for her in his heart.
But later, she had realized that he had never let go of Xie Yu and had never loved her.
Now, she didn't force his love. She just wanted to ask him whether he loved the child.
Qi Shifeng hardly hesitated and gave her a definite answer, "Of course."
After a pause, as if afraid that she wouldn't believe him, he added, "He's my first child. Maybe I won't do a perfect job, but I'll try my best."
