Jiang Shu watched her son looking so dejected and couldn't help but tease him.
"Is this the clothes the girl you like bought for you?"
Chi Yu laughed. "These are my own clothes. They should have been sent by Qingmian."
Hardly had he finished speaking when Jiang Shu looked at him in confusion. "Who is Qingmian? Is she the girl you like?"
Chi Yu was taken aback for a moment and looked at Jiang Shu. "Mom, stop joking. Didn't you and Dad send messages to people every day when you were traveling outside?"
Jiang Shu gently tapped Chi Yu on the head. "I think you've slept too long and muddled your head."
Looking at Jiang Shu's serious expression, Chi Yu realized that she wasn't joking. She really didn't remember Jiang Zhirou.
A bold idea suddenly flashed through his mind.
"Mom, did you buy any souvenirs when you were in Guatemala?"
Jiang Shu smiled. "You still remember souvenirs even when you're lying in the hospital bed."
"Of course I bought some for you. When did your dad and I ever go on a trip without bringing you souvenirs? You've never shown this much interest before. You seem quite curious this time."
As Jiang Shu spoke one sentence after another, Chi Yu's face grew increasingly grim.
It seemed that apart from the person named Qingmian, Jiang Shu remembered everything else.
If there had been an accident during the trip, it was impossible for her to only forget about Qingmian. Such a targeted amnesia could only be the result of hypnosis.
Just like what had happened to him before.
But why would the other party target his parents?
How could Jiang Shu and Chi Weiguo know such a person?
Suddenly, he remembered something, and his pupils shrank sharply.
It was that incident when he was a child!
After he was abducted, his memories of the time in the countryside had been covered up for a while. Although he didn't know why he could recall them later, he was sure that the loss of those memories wasn't caused by his physical condition but by someone's doing.
Chi Weiguo and Jiang Shu... had something he didn't know about.
Thinking of this, Chi Yu called out to Jiang Shu.
"Mom."
"Yes, son?"
"Please help me check out of the hospital. It's uncomfortable staying in the hospital. I want to go home, back to the old mansion."
"What..." Jiang Shu looked at Chi Yu in disbelief.
Chi Yu had stubbornly moved out of the old mansion back then, but now he was voluntarily going back. Jiang Shu was more than happy and quickly agreed.
"Mom will go and check you out right away. Let's go home!"
With that, Jiang Shu rushed out of the ward.
Chi Yu looked meaningfully at Jiang Shu's departing back.
Only by going back to the old mansion could he find evidence of Chi Weiguo's connection with that person.
Only by obtaining the evidence could Jiang Zhirou's experiences over the years receive fair treatment.
Hardly had the Chi family's car left Ruikang Hospital when Lu Wenxi's car drove into it.
On the way from the underground parking lot to the consulting room, Jiang Zhirou kept looking around, afraid of bumping into Chi Yu.
Seeing her like this, Ji Bai said softly, "Chi Yu just got discharged. Don't worry. You won't run into him. Wenxi also told me that no matter what the examination result is, we shouldn't tell Chi Yu for the time being."
"Relax."
So he's already been discharged...
Hearing this news, Jiang Zhirou felt a strange sense of loss in her heart. She was afraid of meeting him but also looking forward to it.
She really wanted to know what Chi Yu would say and what kind of expression he would have when he saw her.
She also wanted to ask him if he still wanted to take her away.
The doctor who examined Jiang Zhirou was a female doctor. She was very gentle in her movements and kind in her words. Gradually, Jiang Zhirou's originally nervous heart relaxed.
"The baby is very healthy. Look, this is the baby's little hand."
The doctor's words made Jiang Zhirou suddenly freeze for a moment.
She mechanically turned her head to look at the display screen beside her.
There was only a blurry curled-up object on the screen. She could hardly believe that this was a child.
Jiang Zhirou looked at the gray image on the screen and said in a low voice, "Doctor... Are you sure this is a child..."
Hardly had she finished speaking when the doctor let out a soft laugh.
She quickly explained, "Sorry, I'm not questioning your medical skills. I just... can't quite believe that there's another life in my body..."
"It's okay." The doctor was very kind and comforted Jiang Zhirou. "Most girls who are about to become mothers for the first time feel this way."
Saying so, the doctor placed the instrument on her lower abdomen and then pointed to the beating numbers beside it. "Look, this is the baby's heartbeat."
Looking at the steadily beating numbers, Jiang Zhirou felt a kind of emotion she had never felt before in her heart.
She couldn't describe what it was like, but at this moment, she seemed to have calmed down. Suddenly, she thought of something and looked at the doctor nervously.
"Doctor, but I had my period once before. Will it have an impact on the baby?"
"Don't worry. A small amount of vaginal bleeding is not a big problem. Look, the baby is very healthy. But you need to be more careful in the future. The baby is still small. You need to pay attention to your diet from now on. Try to eat less greasy and salty food. Come to the hospital for prenatal check-ups on time every month."
Jiang Zhirou nodded seriously and carefully memorized all the doctor's instructions.
As soon as she walked out of the consulting room, Lu Wenxi greeted her.
"How's it going, Mianbao?"
Jiang Zhirou's nose turned sour. She stepped forward and hugged Lu Wenxi tightly. "Wenxi, I'm pregnant."
Hearing this, Lu Wenxi also got excited. Her voice was still a bit choked. "Then I'm going to be the baby's godmother! I'll buy the baby nice little dresses and pretty clothes in the future!"
Jiang Zhirou didn't respond. Her hands holding Lu Wenxi were just a bit trembling.
Would Chi Yu be happy if he knew she was pregnant?
She suddenly remembered that she had once told Chi Yu that she wanted a baby, but Chi Yu had opposed it, thinking that she was too young and shouldn't have a child at this time.
But no one had expected that she would suddenly get pregnant. If Chi Yu knew, would he ask her to have an abortion?
Jiang Zhirou didn't dare to think further and didn't want to either. She let go of Lu Wenxi and looked at her seriously.
"Wenxi, please keep my pregnancy a secret for me, okay? I don't want Chi Yu to know that I'm pregnant. At least... not yet."
Although Lu Wenxi didn't quite understand, she nodded heavily. "Don't worry, Mianbao. I'll definitely keep my mouth shut. You're the baby's mother. If you don't want to say anything, no one will know. I'll make Ji Bai keep his mouth shut too. Don't worry."
After getting Lu Wenxi's definite answer, Jiang Zhirou felt relieved.
For now, she no longer wanted to seek the answers from that year. She had something more important and worth protecting than those answers.
Her premonition told her that the truth wouldn't be something very good. Since she didn't know it, it might be better to never explore it and just live in ignorance like this.
"Mianbao, you can stay with me from now on and take good care of yourself during pregnancy. I'll be responsible for your three meals a day and make sure you and the baby grow plump and healthy."
These words sounded so warm in Jiang Zhirou's ears. She just shook her head slightly and showed a faint smile on her face.
"I want to go to Grindelwald."
