When Ji Chuan returned, I was already asleep.
In my drowsy state, I felt something moving inside my belly. Suddenly, it dawned on me—my baby was kicking. This was the first time I had felt the baby move, and I wanted to tell Ji Chuan.
Just then, Ji Chuan pushed open the door and walked in.
"Ji Chuan, come quickly and feel! The baby is moving!" I said excitedly.
Ji Chuan hurried over, squatting by the bed, and gently placed his hand on my belly. At that moment, the baby seemed to make a big movement, almost like a roll.
"Is the baby responding to me?" Ji Chuan looked a bit stunned.
"The baby knows it's Daddy touching him," I whispered.
In that moment, we felt as if we were tightly connected. When our eyes met, a sudden phone ring broke the intimacy.
Ji Chuan glanced at the screen, answered the call, and turned to leave the bedroom.
The warmth we had just shared was interrupted. I closed my eyes and stroked my belly, hoping to feel the baby's movement again.
After a brief murmur in the living room, Ji Chuan walked back in.
"Qin Qin, there's something at the company; I need to step out for a bit," he said hesitantly.
"Ji Chuan, can you stay tonight?" I looked at him with eyes full of dependence.
"Qin Qin, be good. Once I handle things at work, I'll come back to be with you and the baby, okay?" I gazed quietly at Ji Chuan, wishing that our earlier happiness could last forever.
A flicker of struggle crossed Ji Chuan's eyes before he finally turned away from my gaze and left in a hurry.
Not long after Ji Chuan left, I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my stomach. Trembling, I picked up my phone, my fingers shaking as I finally managed to dial Ji Chuan's number.
However, all I heard on the other end of the line was the monotonous beeping; the call was not answered. Pain surged through me like a tide as I clutched my cold phone, stubbornly dialing Ji Chuan's number again. Still, no one picked up. I shut my eyes tightly, tears streaming down uncontrollably.
Finally, I struggled to dial Yu Lei's number. "Xiao Lei, please save my child..." Before I could finish my sentence, I fainted.
In my haze, I could only hear Yu Lei shouting, "Qin Qin, what’s wrong? I'm on my way!"
When I woke up, my stomach was still cramping, and there was a hot water bottle on my abdomen. "Qin Qin, you're finally awake! You scared me to death," Yu Lei said as she hugged me tightly.
"Xiao Lei, thank you," I weakly expressed my gratitude.
"Just rest for now; don’t worry about thanking me," Yu Lei said with concern in her eyes. "My child... is the baby okay?" I asked weakly.
"The baby is fine. The doctor said you might be experiencing gastrointestinal spasms. Qin Qin, you need to take care of yourself too," Yu Lei gently held my hand to comfort me.
"I... I will."
"Qin Qin, is Ji Chuan with Feng Yao?" she asked cautiously.
"I don't know. He left in a hurry last night saying he had something urgent. I've been trying to call him, but he hasn’t answered," I explained.
"What a jerk! How could he treat you like this?" Yu Lei exclaimed angrily.
The pain came in waves, and I curled up in discomfort. Three months pregnant, the doctor wouldn't prescribe me painkillers; all I could do was endure the cramping in my stomach.
Yu Lei kept changing the hot water bottle for me over and over again. By the time I felt better, two days had already passed.
I picked up my phone and saw a message from Ji Chuan. "Qin Qin, the company has taken on an overseas project unexpectedly. I need to go abroad for a while and will be back in a week. If you need anything, ask Yu Lei for help."
I didn't receive a single call from you, nor did you ask me why I called you so many times.
I scrolled through my phone screen, recalling the post from that unfamiliar profile.
Opening her social media, the latest post was from yesterday.
The soft sunlight bathed the Sacred Heart Cathedral, where two people stood side by side at the edge of the observation deck.
Their hands brushed against each other unintentionally, as if a subtle feeling was spreading between them.
I couldn't help but throw my phone away.
Their intimate actions pierced through me like a sharp knife.
Ji Chuan, why are you doing this?
I am clearly your wife, yet you always ignore me for Feng Yao.
