Chapter 164: Chapter 164: Never Thought of Giving Him Up

Ye Yan held the pregnancy test box, lost in thought for a while.

She thought it couldn’t be that coincidental—there had only been that one time.

Maybe it was just the recent fatigue causing Aunt Flo to be late, or some other reason.

During the wait for the results, she felt anxious and restless, staring into the mirror and zoning out repeatedly.

Until the display on the test strip confirmed the suspicion in her heart.

At that moment, a flood of emotions surged, swiftly scrambling her ability to think.

She felt a complete blank in her mind.

It took quite a while before she could sort out the chaotic thoughts, leaning against the washstand, tears silently streaming down.

This wasn’t the result she had wanted; it was an accident within an accident.

Even at the peak of their relationship, neither of them had planned on having a child.

And now that they had separated, the accident had followed.

That night, Ye Yan barely closed her eyes, and the next day she asked for leave from the store manager and went to a nearby hospital.

She ended up seeing Chai Chen at the entrance of the hospital, carrying a bag in his hand.

"I went to your store to deliver breakfast, and the manager said you had come to the hospital." Chai Chen asked anxiously, "Are you feeling unwell?"

Faced with Chai Chen’s concerned gaze, Ye Yan’s emotions were even more mixed.

She shook her head.

Seeing that she didn’t speak, Chai Chen didn’t press further, "I’ll put the breakfast in the car, then we can eat it after the check-up."

It wasn’t until Ye Yan had registered at the gynecology department that Chai Chen still refrained from speaking much and accompanied her to line up for various tests.

After the report came out, without needing a doctor to explain, Ye Yan had already read through it.

Her suspicion was thoroughly confirmed.

The doctor, looking at the report, said with a smile, "At your age, getting pregnant is perfect—not too young or too old; your career and life are relatively stable."

"Doctor, I’ve had surgery on my foot before because of an injury; will it affect the baby in any way?"

"Based on the report, everything is normal, and the fetus isn’t as fragile as you think," the doctor said. "Just remember to keep regular prenatal appointments, avoid strenuous exercise, and watch your diet."

After the doctor listed a host of precautions, he looked at Chai Chen, "With a handsome dad and a beautiful mom, the child will surely be a delicate little treasure."

Chai Chen instinctively wanted to explain, but then looking at Ye Yan, he took back his words and just smiled, thanking the doctor.

After leaving the hospital, Chai Chen opened the car door for Ye Yan to get in, then took out the breakfast.

He had kept the breakfast in a thermal container, and it was still warm.

"Have something to eat first."

Ye Yan took it but didn’t start eating right away, her phoenix eyes gazing at the man in front of her, "Don’t you have anything you want to ask?"

"There’s no need to ask; I’ve already guessed," Chai Chen said with a smile, twisting the cap off a milk bottle for her, "If you don’t mind, I can be his father."

At the same time Ye Yan was shocked, she also felt a surge of emotion, "Chai Chen, you don’t need to do so much for me. I don’t have the right to keep accepting your kindness. Originally, I wanted to continue being friends with you, but now it seems unnecessary. It’s not fair to you, do you understand?"

"What you call ’unfair’ is only in your eyes, but to me, all of this is sweet hardship," Chai Chen said as he handed her the warm milk, "In the past, I could only watch you from the shadows; now, I finally have the chance to stand before you openly. I know what you’re thinking; you don’t want to give me hope, don’t want to create expectations, to avoid hurt in the end. But honestly, I don’t care about that. Even if you choose someone else, even if we don’t end up together, I’ll just enjoy every second I get to care for you and share your burden."

"Ye Yan, don’t refuse me. You’re free, you don’t have to feel more than friendship for me, but don’t push me away now. That, for me, would be the real cruelty."

Faced with Chai Chen’s earnest words and the look on his face, childlike in its vulnerability...

Ye Yan swallowed all those even crueler words of rejection.

Words wound deeper than spears or swords.

She always remembered how Chai Chen was willing to lower his status from the VIP floor to the general floor for the sake of Ye Zhun, and how he’d shown concern and affection for her these past few days.

"I might never like you."

"It’s okay." Chai Chen smiled. "If you never like me, then I’ll just keep on becoming a man you could fall for."

"That sounded a bit convoluted," Ye Yan laughed and bit into a meat pie, "Where did you buy this? It’s really delicious."

"If you like it, I’ll buy it for you again." Chai Chen took over the report, "Are you going to tell Xiao Zhun about this?"

"No, he doesn’t even know who Fu Xingzhou is."

"Then you can only hide it for so long." Ye Zhun wasn’t a fool; he’d notice once Ye Yan’s pregnancy became obvious.

Ye Yan looked downcast: "Regarding this child, I want to think it over some more."

Its arrival had been so abrupt that her mind was in chaos, leaving her no time to consider the future.

Ye Yan had interned in the department of obstetrics and gynecology, seen many women in labor, and even assisted in caesarean operations.

Some would rack their brains to conceive, going through great pains to ensure their baby’s safety.

Others discarded their children with cold indifference and heartlessness.

Those people had once been the ones she despised and spat at the most.

Only now did she understand that in this world, there were far too many situations beyond one’s control and choices too hard to make.

"The feuds and grievances of adults shouldn’t involve an innocent child. If you decide to have him, I’ll be his godfather, and we’ll take care of him together, ensuring his life is not devoid of paternal love and he grows up healthy in body and mind."

Ye Yan felt a prick at her nose; how had she deserved to meet such a good person?

"Yes." The words from Chai Chen solidified the thought in her heart.

In fact, since she’d learned of the child’s existence, she never considered not wanting it.

No matter who the father was, this was her child. Since he’d chosen to come into this world, she had no right to abandon him.

"I have more good news for you." Like casting off a heavy burden from her heart, Ye Yan’s expression gradually brightened: "I can go back to working at Holy Land starting next Monday."

"Really?"

Ye Yan nodded vigorously.

Although recent life had undergone some drastic changes, things seemed to be slowly getting back on track.

From now on, she’d work even harder to earn enough for baby formula.

Returning to work at the hospital, Director Bi still assigned her the same position.

On the weekend, several close colleagues who normally had night shifts managed to be free, and they planned to celebrate Ye Yan’s return at Jiua.

Xiao Xiao came in carrying a specially ordered cake, first scanning the room, "Isn’t this the private room we ate in last time? What a coincidence."

Speaking of that meal, Ye Yan thought of Fu Xingzhou.

At the time, it had been him who had stepped up to teach that lecherous old man a lesson for trying to take advantage of her.

Chai Chen noticed her change in expression and knew what she was thinking.

In fact, he had sensed that there was something off in the atmosphere between Ye Yan and Fu Xingzhou, but he hadn’t considered it in that way.

"I’m going to the restroom," said Ye Yan, getting up to leave.
