Chapter 328: Chapter 328 She’s Pregnant
Ever since that day, Ah Sun ca over whenever he had free ti.
Wang Bing rarely went to the bar anymore; she never liked that scene much to begin with, and now she had a new house.
After spending so much on a new ho, it would be a waste to always be out and about.
Ah Sun left a guitar at her place, and he’d co by to play and sing for her whenever he had the ti.
Wang Bing liked listening, and sotis she even asked him to teach her, but maybe because she was getting on in years and her heart wasn’t in it, so after reluctantly playing “Little Star,” she didn’t want to play again.
Why bother playing it herself when soone could sing and play for her?
Wang Bing felt pretty happy with life like this.
Especially since she knew she couldn’t have children, she and Ah Sun didn’t even bother with protection when they made love, which was not only comfortable but also saved money.
One day, when Wang Bing went out to buy groceries, she actually overheard two aunties in the neighboring corridor gossiping about her.
“The woman across from us, it seems like she’s kept a young gigolo.”
“Really? But she doesn’t look that old, seems quite young, you know.”
“No clue, but I just think these young people nowadays are pretty open about these things. They’re not living together; it’s always that guy coming by himself. And now that it’s getting hot, I’ve even seen tattoos on his arms. Doesn’t look like a decent person at all.”
“…”
Having heard these words, Wang Bing felt sowhat uneasy and walked over.
She wasn’t angry but smiled as she spoke: “Are you talking about ?”
The two aunties were imdiately extrely embarrassed.
Wang Bing said, “I’m divorced. The man who frequently visits is my current boyfriend. He’s not married, and neither am I. Isn’t it normal for two single people to be together? Besides, I’m no wealthy woman able to support a gigolo. Would a wealthy woman live here? They live in big mansions.”
The two aunties, looking quite sheepish, one plumper than the other, started to explain: “Oh, we were just guessing, don’t be upset.”
“I’m not upset, I just didn’t want you to misunderstand, so I ca over to explain. We’re all neighbors, after all, and should help each other out.”
Seeing that Wang Bing wasn’t upset, the aunties then asked her, “Where do you work?”
“At the military hospital, in the pain managent departnt. If you need anything, co find ,” Wang Bing replied.
Wang Bing’s tone made the two aunties pretty pleased with themselves, and they stopped their gossiping.
But Wang Bing was thinking to herself, maybe she should just have Ah Sun move in. He was renting a place anyway, and moving in would save on rent.
Then again, she thought that if he moved in, they might have different habits and end up with conflicts.
It’s probably better to just keep things as they are.
…
Before she knew it, May had co around.
The weather was warming up but not hot, just perfect for the sumr.
More tourists were visiting Yun City, and sotis the streets seed full of people. Yun City was thriving, which lifted everyone’s spirits greatly.
But suddenly, Wang Bing realized that her period, which was always on schedule, was five days late.
That day at lunch in the cafeteria, she ntioned to Su ixi, “My period hasn’t co this ti, no idea what’s up. Could it be a hormone imbalance from moving into the new house?”
Su ixi looked around to make sure no one was listening before she whispered, “Have you and Ah Sun been intimate? Could you be pregnant?”
Wang Bing laughed, “How could that be possible? If I could get pregnant, I wouldn’t have gotten a divorce. You know I have fertility issues.”
Su ixi said, “There are no absolutes. If everything aligns, who knows, you could get pregnant. Plus, Ah Sun is young.”
After saying this, she giggled mischievously.
Wang Bing quickly shoved a beef atball from her plate into Su ixi’s bowl: “Here, I’ll shut you up with this.”
“Fine, I won’t say anymore. If you don’t believe , just buy a test and find out for yourself.”
“I really don’t believe it!”
…
Although Wang Bing was reluctant to believe she was pregnant, she still went to a pharmacy after work and bought several pregnancy tests.
She tested with trepidation, and the result left her dumbfounded.
Two lines!
She couldn’t believe it, so she tested with the remaining sticks, and they all showed two lines!
What was going on?
Could it be that the infertile one wasn’t her, but Chen Shu?
Wang Bing sent the results to Su ixi.
After seeing the results, Su ixi couldn’t help but congratulate her: My goodness, you’re going to be a mother!
Wang Bing didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Her relationship with Ah Sun was not exactly a kept woman’s kind, but there was certainly so murkiness she couldn’t explain. Otherwise, why would those two aunties from her neighborhood speculate wildly?
Su ixi asked, “Wang Bing, does Ah Sun know? What would his reaction be if he knew?”
Wang Bing’s heart skipped a beat, “I’m feeling very conflicted right now. What we have is not true love, and our relationship isn’t stable. To have a child like this could scare him to death; he might even think I’m using the child as a threat!”
Su ixi asked, “Aren’t you curious how I knew?”
“Let’s talk about that later… even if it needs to be ntioned, now is not the ti.”
“Are you planning on keeping the baby?”
“I plan to keep it!” Wang Bing was very certain. “Even without a father, I want to give birth to and raise the child. Otherwise, I might never get the chance to be a mother. You know, I am from out of town, my mother has passed away, and my father has decided to live with my brother in the future. I also hope to have another family mber by my side.”
“Well… you still have to tell Ah Sun, as it is his child, and he has the right to know.”
“Alright, I understand.”
…
In another part of Yun City.
Xi Wanfen and Liang Zhanbai had rented an apartnt, situated in a very nice block of flats.
When they first moved in, the couple’s life was full of affection and intimacy, as if they were glued to each other, much like the sweetness of newlyweds.
However, after half a month, they had their first argunt.
The cause was Xi Wanfen’s sudden urge to cook a al for Liang Zhanbai, a so-called dinner of love.
Since the apartnt originally had no pots or bowls, she bought a bunch of them, including frying pans, woks, non-stick pans, and various pots for stewing soup.
She followed recipes from a book, making dishes like pan-seared steak, pork rib and corn soup, stir-fried vegetables, and green pepper with century egg salad.
It wasn’t particularly successful, but neither was it a failure; the food was edible.
She also lit candles and arranged fresh flowers.
When Liang Zhanbai ca ho from work and saw her cooking personally, he was naturally happy. He swept her up into several twirls and kissed her repeatedly, feeling like he had chosen the right girlfriend.
They enjoyed the al in high spirits.
The problem arose after the al when Liang Zhanbai suddenly said his friends were calling him to play video gas, as they were about to start.
Xi Wanfen knew he liked to play gas, and she didn’t say much usually, sotis even joining in.
But the leftover food was still on the table, the dishes and cutlery were unwashed; couldn’t Liang Zhanbai see that?
