After lunch, Long Jinjing wasn't in the mood to be with Lu Zihao. Although they made up from their fight, it didn't mean that she was no longer upset. He wanted to drag her to the Civil Affairs Bureau just like that without any warning? Yes, she wanted to marry him even more so now than ever but his lack of consideration still hurt her.

It was like he treated marriage as nothing special comparable to running a necessary errand. He was so nonchalant that she felt he didn't view her as someone important to him at all.

Lu Zihao didn't force her to spend the whole day with him when she wanted to be alone for now. He headed to the gym instead to train while she reflected on all the things that happened since yesterday.

She stared at her phone. There were many missed calls and messages from Chen Fei since morning. Her finger hovered on the call button, but in the end, she didn't call her best friend. She wasn't ready yet to reveal her pregnancy to Chen Fei even though they were closer than real sisters.

Her best friend wouldn't understand her current struggles and worries. Chen Fei had never fallen in love with someone or gotten pregnant before. [Read official chapters on W e b n o v e l (dot) com. Please stop supporting piracy. Also follow author on Instagram: @arriacross]

Long Jinjing wanted to talk to someone who could relate to what she was going through. Her younger sister, Xiulan?

"No," she murmured, shaking her head. "Brother-in-law Liwei fell in love with Little Sister Xiulan first. They were already engaged when she got pregnant and they immediately married soon afterwards. Their relationship is almost perfect. The total opposite of what I have with Nikolai."

She sighed, her heart feeling heavy. In many ways, she was envious of Iris' romance with Jin Liwei. It looked so wonderful. To be honest, it was the kind of romance that she always dreamed of for herself. Not exactly like it but close to it.

Reality, however, had other ideas. She fell in love with a man like Lu Zihao. A very sexual man but not romantic at all. The sex was always amazing but a girl like her also needed some romance in her life. Not only romance but also hope for a happy ever after.

Though with how things were going, it didn't seem that she would get her dream romance. Bacon was right. Her boyfriend and the father of her baby was a scumbag. He was dense when it came to romantic love. She should've already left him. Well, she already tried that before but still ended up getting back together with him and staying even after discovering his criminal background.

Why?

She loved him.

Simple as that.

She loved him so much that it hurt.

Sighing, she patted her belly and was already imagining what their baby would look like. Girl or boy—it didn't matter. Whether the baby looked like him or her or a combination of them both, she would love the baby all the same.

She hoped that Lu Zihao could love their baby even if he still didn't love her in the end. Of course, the best case scenario was for him to love her and their baby.

She scrolled through her contacts but couldn't find any friends that she felt comfortable talking about what she was going through right now. Then her finger hovered one contact profile.

It took more than two minutes for her to make a decision.

Two rings and the call was picked up.

"Hello?"

Long Jinjing immediately sobbed upon hearing the female voice. She tried to be as quiet as possible, but how could the woman on the other end of the line not know that there was something wrong with her?

"Jing? Why are you crying? What's wrong?"

"Mom!"
