When they arrived at the hospital, the two first registered and underwent examinations, then sat on the chairs waiting for the results.
Throughout the whole process, Yin Yiyan's palms were sweating.
Gong Ming beside her remained silent all the time. In all the time he'd known her, he'd never seen her so distraught.
Maybe she didn't want to be pregnant with his child.
His eyes were deep as he said, "Don't worry. If you are really pregnant, just have an abortion. No one but us will ever know."
Yin Yiyan looked up, her voice a bit hoarse. "But it's also a life. It's finally about to come into this world. It's not fair to end it like this."
"The timing is wrong. Let it wait for the next time," Gong Ming said, pinching her palm calmly.
Because of Gong Ming's words, the originally tense atmosphere made Yin Yiyan burst out laughing.
Gong Ming didn't care. He just slightly twitched his lips. "Children don't mean much to me. You can have one if you want, or not if you don't."
"I don't have parents, so I won't bear any pressure from elders. I don't care about carrying on the family line either. You can rest assured."
He said it all so casually.
Yin Yiyan glanced at him and whispered, "It sounds as if I don't want this baby."
Actually, she liked kids very much.
Kids were naturally lively, simple and kind. As long as they were well - educated, they would surely be both obedient and adorable.
Yin Yiyan was confident that she could educate her own children well.
Gong Ming kneaded her palm. Noticing that her mood was not as tense as before, he said with a smile, "What I mean is that you have absolute freedom when it comes to having children."
"Between us, no one will force you to do anything."
This sudden protection left Yin Yiyan speechless.
It took her a while to react. She had never dealt with such a situation before. She pushed his shoulder awkwardly and said coquettishly, "We're just dating. Who's discussing the big issue of having children with you?"
Gong Ming raised his eyebrows and looked at her half - smiling.
He had a gentle appearance. When he was silent, his whole demeanor was very refined, looking like a gentle young scholar.
At this moment, he stared at her intently and asked in a low voice, "So if you are really pregnant, you plan to keep the baby?"
This was indeed a serious question, which immediately pulled her back to reality.
Yin Yiyan said, "Well... if I'm really pregnant, we may have to get the marriage certificate earlier."
She thought for a moment. "It's actually not difficult to deal with my mom. Once she gives her consent, she won't make things difficult for us later."
The words she said in the restaurant before were just to intimidate Gong Ming.
If An Ruoqing had completely disagreed with their relationship, she wouldn't have shown the slightest sign of softening.
Yin Yiyan blinked her eyes. "Otherwise, why don't you work harder and try to please my mom more?"
Gong Ming: "..."
He didn't mind doing so. After all, he wanted to marry Yin Yiyan.
However, he was quite surprised by Yin Yiyan's decision.
He pursed his lips and said slowly, "Yanyan, have you thought it through?"
Thought it through about marrying him.
Yin Yiyan paused. "What else do I need to consider?" She pointed at her belly. "I'm pregnant with your baby. Are you going to desert me at this moment?"
"I didn't say..."
Gong Ming opened his mouth to explain, but Yin Yiyan reached out and poked his head. "You've had your way with me and now you're going to abandon your wife and child? You weakling. Why have you become so heartless after all these years?"
Gong Ming smiled and held her hand, pressing it against his chest.
"It'd be easier to dig this out than for me to abandon you."
He was referring to his heart.
Actually, Gong Ming had matured very early.
Due to his congenital heart disease and his parents' frequent early - to - rise and late - to - return work schedule, his mind was much more mature than that of ordinary children of his age.
That was why there weren't many things he cared about.
But Yin Yiyan was the treasure he cherished deeply in his heart, the one he was willing to fight for with all his might.
No one knew better than him the hardships and happiness of their reunion after a long separation.
Yin Yiyan was stunned for a moment, then quickly withdrew her hand from his chest. "I don't want your heart that needs to be fixed from time to time. You should treasure it well."
"Actually, I've been taking good care of myself in the past few years. My condition has been very stable," Gong Ming said with a deep look in his eyes. "The last time I had an attack was the first time in three years."
Yin Yiyan knew which time he was referring to, and her cheeks blushed.
He leaned closer to her and said with a low laugh by her ear, "I just can't control myself a bit when I'm with you. You should help me take good care of myself."
Yin Yiyan: "..."
Just as they were talking, the examination results came out.
Since they had prepared themselves mentally in advance, Yin Yiyan was much more relaxed than before. She took the examination report and was dumbfounded.
— It was a false pregnancy.
For some reason, she even felt a bit disappointed.
The doctor said earnestly to the two of them, "You young people have a lot of work pressure and irregular living habits. Sometimes such situations do occur."
Yin Yiyan replied listlessly, "Got it. Thank you, doctor."
Noticing the girl's unhappiness, the doctor then comforted her, "You young couple don't need to worry too much about this. You're still young. In your twenties, your physical conditions are good, and it's easy to get pregnant."
The doctor said to Gong Ming, "Young man, work harder in the future. Don't let your wife down!"
Gong Ming nodded. "Don't worry. I will."
Yin Yiyan: "..."
She had never expected that Gong Ming could get into the role of a husband so quickly.
In the end, it turned out to be a big misunderstanding. She wasn't pregnant.
The two walked out of the hospital and got back into the car.
Yin Yiyan sat in the car, still immersed in the huge sense of loss.
First, she was scared of being pregnant; then she accepted the coming of the baby and was ready to get married earlier; finally, it was a false pregnancy.
It was really up and down.
Gong Ming was driving. Noticing Yin Yiyan frowning, a glint of amusement flashed in his eyes.
"What, a bit disappointed?"
Yin Yiyan was startled and quickly replied, "No. I just think this whole series of things is so dramatic that I need some time to digest it."
Gong Ming saw that she was being duplicitous. Holding the steering wheel with both hands, he glanced at the traffic lights ahead and said calmly, "If you really like kids so much, we can consider having one."
Hearing this, Yin Yiyan immediately became vigilant. "What do you mean?"
He just smiled but didn't say a word, only speeding up the car.
It wasn't until the car arrived at the apartment and Gong Ming accompanied her into the house that Yin Yiyan realized what he meant.
When they were completely naked, Gong Ming casually took out a box of medicine from his pocket.
Yin Yiyan had sharp eyes and saw that it was the medicine for stabilizing his heart condition.
But she still couldn't help teasing him deliberately, "You're so young but have such a poor performance. Do you need to take medicine to boost your ability?"
