At the same time, Xia Qingmeng, who was hiding in the bathroom, looked at a small box in front of her, biting her nails, feeling both nervous and fearful.
She had recently felt that something was off with her.
For example, she often felt tired, got carsick more easily than before, and her taste in food had become lighter. She didn’t really want to eat meat or fish. And last week when she went to H City, she ate a lot of oranges by herself, even though she had never liked them that much before.
Since she was still filming a variety show at the time, she didn’t feel comfortable saying anything, let alone have the chance to buy something to confirm her suspicion. Later, she simply stopped thinking about it and almost forgot about the whole thing.
But now about a week after returning, Xia Qingmeng finally realized that her period had been delayed for quite some time.
Thinking about all the possibilities, Xia Qingmeng panicked.
But the more she feared something, the more it came true. Two bright red lines told her that the truth was exactly what she imagined.
She really was pregnant!
Leaning against the door, Xia Qingmeng’s mind was a complete mess.
What should she do? Should she tell Xu Xinghe? Should she keep the baby or not? She still had her career, what would happen to her career?
Looking a bit down, Xia Qingmeng hid all the evidence before walking out of the bathroom.
She stood on the steps on the second floor and looked downstairs. Xu Xinghe was sitting in the living room on the first floor. Xia Qingmeng touched her lower abdomen and hesitated about how to bring it up.
Ding-dong—
The doorbell suddenly rang.
Xia Qingmeng’s thoughts were interrupted, and she felt puzzled.
Who would be visiting at this hour?
Xu Xinghe stood up, walked towards the front door, and glanced at the visitor on the electronic display screen.
It really was Yin Xinya!
Xu Xinghe frowned and simply walked away.
Forget it. Just pretend no one’s home. As soon as she leaves, move immediately!
Noticing his displeasure, Xia Qingmeng came downstairs curiously to see who it was.
Yin Xinya?
Why was she here? And how did she know this place?
Maybe it was because she was pregnant and feeling extra emotional, but Xia Qingmeng felt an inexplicable pang of jealousy. She suppressed her irrational feelings and grabbed Xu Xinghe’s arm. “She came all the way here. Maybe you should just open the door and ask what she wants?”
“No!” Xu Xinghe wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her into his embrace. “What were you doing just now? You were gone for so long.”
Xia Qingmeng thought it over and decided that now was not the right time, so she shook her head. “Oh, nothing. Are you really not going to open the door? The bell keeps ringing…”
Xu Xinghe’s face turned dark. “Then you come with me.”
…
Yin Xinya had really been through a lot. She was originally stopped by the security guard at the entrance of the residential complex, and only after pleading with a passing resident who kindly helped her was she allowed to enter.
Once inside the complex, Yin Xinya persevered relentlessly and finally managed to get Xu Xinghe to open his door.
“What do you want?” Xu Xinghe asked, holding Xia Qingmeng close and unceremoniously showing off their close relationship right in front of her.
Yin Xinya didn’t expect that they were actually living together. She felt envious, jealous, and regretful all at once. Her emotions were incredibly complicated. But in the end, she calmed herself down and put on a fragile and pitiful look. “Brother Xu, I’m in trouble. Chu Xiuwen and I broke up, but I’m pregnant. Can I stay at your place for a while? I won’t cause you any trouble.”
Xia Qingmeng was so shocked she couldn’t speak.
Xu Xinghe looked at her like she was an idiot for a moment.
Excuse me? You could ask anyone, but you had to come to the home of a man who’s already in a relationship?
“You are a huge trouble to me,” Xu Xinghe said without the slightest courtesy.
Hah, as long as I have no morals, morals can’t hold me hostage!
Yin Xinya looked at him in disbelief. “Brother Xu, you… you weren’t like this before!”
Xu Xinghe sneered. “Yin Xinya, please get your identity straight. You and I have no relationship whatsoever. At best, we were once classmates. You are pregnant and need someone to take care of you, fine. But you could totally reach out to your female friends or your family. Why do you have to come to a man’s house? And I already have a girlfriend. Do I look like I’ve lost my mind so much that I would take in some strange woman in my own home?”
Yin Xinya said, “But…”
Xu Xinghe didn’t want to deal with her any longer. He turned around and immediately called Yin Xinya’s family.
Not long after, Yin Xinya was taken away by a car sent by the Yin family.
The process happened so quickly that Yin Xinya still looked dazed as she left. She couldn’t figure out why Xu Xinghe had become like this.
Xu Xinghe even stood at the front door, still holding Xia Qingmeng in his arms, and waved cheerfully at the departing Yin family members. “Take your time. No need to see you off.”
Mr. and Mrs. Yin’s faces turned dark with anger at their disappointing daughter. She’s only been back in the country for such a short time, and she’s already messing around with men? And now she has even gotten herself pregnant! Then she goes and makes a fool of herself at the Xu family! They never have such a shameful daughter!
After seeing the Yin family off, Xia Qingmeng was still a little stunned.
Xu Xinghe’s way of handling things was definitely swift and decisive, wasn’t it?
“Qingmeng, we’re moving tomorrow. We won’t live here anymore.” Xu Xinghe was still angry when he thought about it. How could there be such a shameless female lead?
0250 had just told him again. Ever since the male lead and female lead lost his selfless help as the ultimate scapegoat, their career development has been collapsing. Everything they tried failed. In just one month, they couldn’t keep it going anymore.
Chu Xiuwen had initially viewed Yin Xinya through rose-tinted glasses1idiom: seeing things/people better than they really are; seeing only the good parts and ignoring the bad things or any problems. But after spending this time with her, even the thickest filter became useless. He finally realized that she had no real skills, but she was an absolute expert at causing trouble. Just when things started to improve, she would step in and ruin everything. If he didn’t break up with her now, was he supposed to keep her for the New Year?
And so, there was the scene where Yin Xinya showed up at his door.
