No matter what, the baby had to be born.
Gu Yunting suddenly felt a pang of regret. She was still a child herself, yet she was actively preparing to give birth to his child.
But thinking that he had forced this upon her, that it wasn't entirely her own will, he felt uneasy.
If it weren't for her brother, he might never have had the chance to see her gentle smile again.
"Then let's not have the baby for now. We can try again when you're older."
"Aren't you eager for a baby? I'm fine with it, I can do it." Ye Wan looked at him with her beautiful, expressive eyes. If she really had a child, she would take a few months' leave from school, which wouldn't affect her studies.
"Then starting today, I'll work hard." Gu Yunting said, and then extinguished the last lamp in the room, lowering his head to kiss her.
...
Gu Yunting truly worked hard. For the three days Ye Wan was on holiday, Gu Yunting worked hard for three days. Apart from eating and going to the toilet, they were always in bed. Occasionally, he would attend to some official business, but whenever he felt like it, he would pull her over.
Ye Wan was starting to question her life. She was afraid of seeing a bed.
She never knew a man could have so much energy.
...
Jiang Yan handed the letter of understanding to the lawyer. Upon seeing it, the lawyer's expression became excited. "Your father is saved! I'll handle it immediately."
"Thank you," Jiang Yan said, also letting out a long sigh of relief. the heavy stone that had been pressing on her chest finally lifted.
"Who helped you get this letter of understanding? You've been taking care of your mother and haven't had time to leave the city. You really need to thank them. Without this person, your father might have spent the rest of his life in prison." The lawyer then left in a hurry.
...
When Jiang Yan returned home, her mother was sitting in the living room watching television. The aftermath of her recent cerebral hemorrhage was partial paralysis. She walked with a limp, and half of her face was paralyzed. As soon as Jiang Yan entered, she immediately helped her mother to the bathroom to take care of her physiological needs, and then helped her back to continue watching.
"Mom, I bought some dumplings. Let's have dumplings today," Jiang Yan said, opening the two portions of dumplings and helping her mother to the dining room.
"Is your father's matter resolved?" her mother asked.
Her face was expressionless, and her speech was a little unclear, but if one listened carefully, they could understand what she was saying.
Jiang Yan nodded. "Mom, I'll find a Chinese medicine practitioner to help with your rehabilitation. You'll get better, don't worry."
Her mother loved beauty. It was evident from the fact that she owned a clothing and bridal shop. She pursued beauty. In the past, her mother used to dress up beautifully every day, with her nails neatly trimmed and manicured.
Now she seemed like a completely different person. Jiang Yan felt incredibly distressed watching her.
"Yan Yan, thank Mr. Jin. One must be grateful," her mother said, ignoring her daughter's words. Despite her illness, her mind was clear. The Jiang family was able to overcome this difficulty entirely thanks to Mr. Jin's help.
"I will. I plan to cook something for him later as a thank you for his help," Jiang Yan said with a smile, picking a dumpling for her mother.
Her mother nodded and picked up her chopsticks to eat.
"Mom, I won't be back tonight. I'm going to see Ye Wan. Will you be okay alone?" Jiang Yan asked nervously.
Her mother's hand movements paused for a moment, then she nodded.
