Chapter 191: Chapter 191: I’ll Raise It with You

"Mom’s words don’t represent my thoughts."

"I know," Ye Yan responded gently, "but she’s not entirely wrong. You’re outstanding and deserve better than wasting your time on me. You’re not alone; you have your family behind you, and I can’t be so selfish as to disturb their peace. Moreover, I don’t want to put such a big pressure on myself because I cannot predict when I might start liking you. It’s unfair to both of us to keep this going."

"Ye Yan..."

"Chai Chen, I appreciate everything you’ve done for me in the past. I will definitely help you whenever you need, and as for everything else, let’s just see what happens."

Chai Chen knew that given Ye Yan’s personality, she would never settle for less.

She had never rejected his approaches simply because she felt indebted to him, and his promises had moved her.

But now, nothing he said would make a difference.

After all the turns and twists, everything had come back to the beginning.

~

This week’s prenatal checkup was attended by Meng Tian alongside Ye Yan.

Though Ye Yan was skinny, she was in good health except for a bit of anemia. The fetus was developing very healthily.

The ultrasound doctor, a college schoolmate of Ye Yan, secretly told her that the baby in her belly was a boy.

Ye Yan didn’t mind the gender, she cared only that her child should be healthy.

"I told you it would be a son." Meng Tian was smug, "My mom said that a change in taste during pregnancy definitely means it’s a son."

"And you believe that even though you are a medical student?" Ye Yan laughed helplessly.

Meng Tian placed her ear against Ye Yan’s stomach, "My godson, I’m your godmother. If you can hear me, give me a little kick."

Ye Yan couldn’t help but laugh, "He’s so tiny, how could he understand?"

"My godson is exceptionally gifted; he surely understands," Meng Tian said, lifting her bright eyes. "By the way, is it completely over between you and Dr. Chai?"

She had quite liked the two of them together; unfortunately, it hadn’t worked out.

"It’s my fault," Ye Yan said with a dim look, mentioning Chai Chen. "He has helped me so much, and I still don’t know how to repay him."

"You can’t blame yourself. Matters of the heart can’t be controlled."

"I was too selfish initially, agreeing to even give it a try."

Love is born from the heart and hard to shift.

"I genuinely wanted to forget the past and start over. I just never expected to cause so much trouble for his family." Ye Yan looked down at her feet, "His mother was right; someone like me shouldn’t hold him back, making him embarrassed in front of relatives and friends."

"Don’t listen to her nonsense; our Ye Yan is so outstanding. So what if you’ve been married? What era are we living in that people still care about that?"

"The traditional mindset is hard to change. I respect their views. From now on, I won’t consider another relationship. I just want to raise him by myself."

She wouldn’t make the same mistakes again.

"Count me in too, I’ll help you raise him."

Ye Yan smiled, "You should consider your own situation first. Don’t you plan to have a child with Mr. Tang? There’s only one son in the Tang family, and you’re the only daughter in the Meng family. It would be perfect to have twins—one bearing the Tang surname and the other Meng. All would be well."

"Who wants to have children with someone surnamed Tang?" Meng Tian pursed her lips. "Let him have children with whoever he wants; it’s definitely not going to be me."

"Do you really think so?" Ye Yan observed carefully. Despite her words, Meng Tian showed no dislike.

She might not realize it, but gradually, it seemed she had accepted Tang Jingyao.

However, Jiang Ying, soon to be released from prison, was still a gaping rift between them. If they couldn’t bridge this divide, it would all end.

Meng Tian was still being stubborn when suddenly she spotted a familiar figure.

She quickly tugged at Ye Yan’s sleeve, "Am I seeing things, or is that Fu Xingzhou?"

The place they were in was the gynecology department, and Fu Xingzhou’s appearance here was definitely abrupt.

But within Ye Yan’s line of sight, she indeed saw that incredibly familiar figure.

He was dressed in a high-end suit, standing out conspicuously among the crowd.

And the woman by his side immediately captured Ye Yan’s gaze.

She was a girl so young and tender, with a slender and supple figure, her long black hair simply tied back with a rubber band.

Only half of her face was visible from this angle, so her full appearance couldn’t be seen.

She was tilting her head upwards, talking to the man beside her with a smile that was excessively sweet.

Ye Yan suddenly remembered, Li Jin had once mentioned that Fu Xingzhou kept a croupier from Hongfeng Hall and even spent money to send her to learn dancing.

This girl, who appeared to be about twenty, must be the one from Hongfeng Hall.

Ye Yan looked away and put away the test results, "Let’s wait over there."

Meng Tian knew she probably didn’t want to see Fu Xingzhou.

The two had just gotten up when the pager rang: Please A114, Ye Yan, come to Clinic 1 to wait.

Hearing this name, Fu Xingzhou instinctively looked up.

On the electronic scroll board, those two characters "Ye Yan" were identical to the one in his heart.

Was it a coincidence, or?

Fu Xingzhou’s gaze immediately swept around the hall but did not see that familiar figure.

Disappointed, he gave a self-mocking laugh.

He was being paranoid.

In this world, people with the same names were numerous, and lately, every time he heard the name Ye Yan or saw someone with the surname Ye or the word Yan in their name, he would look more attentively.

A few days ago, a croupier at the casino made a mistake, and the manager brought it up to him.

Simply because that croupier’s name contained the word Yan, he let her off with the lightest punishment.

"Mr. Fu, Mr. Fu," a charming voice came from beside.

Fu Xingzhou looked at Xin Rou again and felt more than ever that she was not much like Ye Yan, just speaking of temperament, it was half as similar.

Let alone Ye Yan had a kind of unique, ethereal grace about her.

"I’ll have my bodyguard stay here with you," Fu Xingzhou checked his watch, "If anything comes up, have the bodyguard contact me."

Xin Rou cautiously asked, "Could I have Mr. Fu’s contact information?"

"Miss Xin, if you need anything, just contact me," the bodyguard stepped forward and politely said, "I’ll be able to connect you to Mr. Fu."

Seeing that Fu Xingzhou seemed somewhat gloomy, Xin Rou sensibly did not pursue the subject further.

The last time she saw Fu Xingzhou was at the club, and afterward, she had moved into Hongfeng Hall.

During that time, she enrolled in the folk dance program at Aus City Communication University, commuting by car arranged for her to and from school.

There was also an auntie at Hongfeng Hall specifically responsible for her daily needs.

She thought Fu Xingzhou intended to keep her there, but day after day, night after night, she never saw Fu Xingzhou appear.

It had always been Liang Zheng who contacted her.

Today, she called Liang Zheng, mentioning her menstrual irregularity and wanting to go to the hospital.

She had not expected Fu Xingzhou to be the one who came.
