On her way ho from work, Shu Pan went to a 24-hour pharmacy and bought a few pregnancy test kits.
Gu Shaoting sent her a text in the afternoon informing her that he would be away on a business trip for two days, so she could take the test at ho and not face him.
After worrying the whole way ho, Shu Pan felt like she had run out of energy when she arrived ho.
She changed into slippers at the foyer before she walked into the living room, put her bag down and sat on the sofa to take a breather.
Auntie Li went to pick Joy up from school. Shu Pan usually picked Joy up but because she was shocked by the sudden possibility today and felt off balance, she asked Auntie Li to pick her up.
But they were not ho yet. Joy’s grandpa also went to her uncle’s house and would only return in a few days. Shu Pan was alone at ho and the house felt a little deserted.
She sat for a while before she stood up reluctantly, opened her bag, took out the pharmacy paper bag and walked into the bathroom.
Since no one was at ho, she didn’t need to be discreet but she locked the bathroom door anyway.
Shu Pan didn’t know if it was because she was nervous or stressed, her fingers trembled as she took out the pregnancy test kits and painstakingly unboxed them.
She followed the instructions on the box, feeling her heart in her throat. She had never been so nervous before. She felt like she held her breath the entire ti she was waiting for the results. She did not even dare to breathe.
It was only a few minutes, but it felt like a hundred years to her.
It was very quiet in the bathroom. Shu Pan was so nervous and anxious that she could hear her own heartbeat.
She arranged the pregnancy test kits in a row, one stick after another, and the results ca out.
Two red bars were clearly visible on the first stick, and the electronic display showed that she was pregnant.
Two red bars were also visible on the second stick, and the electronic display showed that she was pregnant.
The third stick, the fourth, the fifth…
She bought six pregnancy test kits, and every stick showed the sa results. She was pregnant.
Even though she suspected she was pregnant when she realized that she had missed her periods, she was still shocked when she saw the test results. She felt as if she had been struck by lightning as she entered a state of trance.
It was too unexpected. She had hoped to be pregnant a while ago, but it just didn’t happen. Now that she was depressed and not thinking about it, she was pregnant.
It took her a while to accept the fact that she was pregnant!
She put the pregnancy test kits and the boxes they ca in back into the paper bag and threw everything into the trash can.
She then leaned against the wall and stared blankly into space.
Shu Pan didn’t know how she ca out of the bathroom. Her emotions were very complicated and contradictory.
She felt joy as well as worry.
She smiled one mont and then stared blankly into space the next. She sat down slowly on the sofa and leaned back. She then stared up at the ceiling hugging a cushion.
She was pregnant with Gu Shaoting’s child. If it wasn’t for what happened the day before yesterday, she would have told him right away. After all, this was the treasure they had been looking forward to for a long ti. But she didn’t feel like telling him now. She would keep it secret for the ti being.
She would wait for him to return from his business trip and see how he perford. The scene of him hugging Charlene was like a dagger to her heart, stabbing her from ti to ti.
It was Tong Fei before, and now it was Charlene. Were there other won he was involved with?
She didn’t even dare to think about it. Her idea of love was very pure and simple. No ambiguous relationships. To her, there should be no space for even the smallest issues or grievances in a romantic relationship.
