100 years before Divorce - Chapter 223

“I- I’m in a relationship with Shen Mu Qing.”

“S-Shen Mu Qing? The Shen Mu? My Shen Mu Qing?!” Xia Sha got stupefied for a moment as Kai Xin looks anxious, waiting for Xia Sha’s response.

“Yes,” Kai Xin murmured, lowering her head.

“But if you don’t want it to happen, it’s okay. I won’t continue this relationship,” Kai Xin quickly added.

Xia Sha’s heart almost dropped when she realized Kai Xin got the wrong idea.

“How? I meant, I didn’t oppose you two in a relationship. I only don’t understand. How?” Xia Sha tilted her head, looking lost.

“How? Girl, don’t you see your cousin’s eyes every time he looks at Xia Sha? Or how he would always ask about her when she isn’t around? I wonder how Senior Guan could make you realized your feeling,” Zheng Shuang rant, turning to Xia Sha with a disbelief gaze.

“Well, I’m unaware of that. But I am happy for you as long as you are happy too,” Xia Sha said to Kai Xin, showing her sincere smile.

“See, I told you, Xia Sha is not the type to get upset over something like this. She understands that love had no restriction,” Zheng Shuang grinned.

“Thank You!” Kai Xin cheered, pulled Xia Sha into a hug. Kai Xin’s magnificent smile blossomed in an instant. Her pale face brightens up as she felt Xia Sha hug her back.

Xia Sha felt Kai Xin’s hug tugged something inside her heart. Loads of words stuck on her throat, but she could hardly say a thing. She knew that she needs to tell Kai Xin what happens to her and her baby, but how can she do it?

Hey, do you want to know who tricks you into pregnancy, then kills your baby? Yeah, your bully and my crazy stepmother sabotage our life’.

Could Kai Xin proceed with her word if she put it that way? Wouldn’t she indirectly wreck Kai Xin this way?

Tell her, what are the right words to tell Kai Xin about their situations without hurting her again? She needs to know how to drop this bomb without killing anyone.

But at the end of the night, no explanation comes from Xia Sha’s tongue. She ends up starring at the ceiling with dozen of thoughts that keep her awake.

Xia Sha forgot how she went to sleep last night, but Xia Sha felt her head is spinning around when she woke up. The slightest voice from her ringing phone forced her to ignore the headache and unlock her phone.

An instant frown plaster her face when she realized there is no notification on her phone. She had woke up in annoyance, yet there’s only a text from her provider and a warning signal from her period tracker application.

“Please don’t let today be a bad day,” she groaned as she almost tossed aside her phone back to the nightstand.

“Wait, what? Warning signal?!”

Xia Sha tightens her grip on her phone. Her eyes open widely awake as she checks the application carefully. Her heart is chanting a prayer as her trembling finger clicked on the warning sign.

You are twenty days late from your period. Your next cycle seems to be late.

Xia Sha gasped, but she did not make a sound. Her mouth formed a perfect circle as her brain freeze. Memories about her mood swings and sick stomach surged in without permission.

In states of panic and brick of breakdown, she swallowed her saliva and subconsciously called someone.

“What is it?!” Xiao Ni’s rude yet sleepy voice is the first thing Xia Sha heard when she answered her call.

“Xiao Ni, I think I’m pregnant,” those frightening sentences pour out from her mouth like spring water.

“WHAT?!” Xiao Ni’s high pitched screams make her

Xia Sha knew Xiao Ni had fully woken up now. She subconsciously wrinkles her nose like Guan Xian as she mumbles, “My period track said I’ve been late for twenty days. Can you accompany me to the hospital right now?”

“Okay, you wait for me there. I’ll go fetch you now,” Xiao Ni sounds assertive as she cut off the phone call, leaving Xia Sha alone with her thought again.

How did this happen? Guan Xian always uses protection every time they make love. There is no way she is preg-

“GASP! THAT FIRST TIME, WE DID NOT WEAR CONDOMS THAT TIME!” Xia Sha subconsciously shouted as she recalled the ‘innocent’ activities she did with Guan Xian before.

She leans back lifelessly to her bed headboard with mixed feelings.

“Argh, why did I forget about that!” Xia Sha groaned while knocking her head with her hand.

She holds her breath and tried to compose herself. It’s only until her gaze falls on her flat stomach. She did not know what’s possessed her as she started to caress her lower abdomen and talk to her baby.

“Baby, if you inside of me, don’t worry, I’m just overreacting right now. I didn’t hate you. Instead, I will learn to love you. Do you know why?” She stopped talking and give the baby time to reply.

“That is because I don’t want to take everything for granted anymore,” she murmured with a faint smile on her face.

“You see, we often took priceless blessing for granted when all of the meaningful things in this life come for free. The oxygent is free. Love is free. Even living and dying are free. We often underestimated these things because we cannot buy them. We did not value things that we can’t buy with money. Funny, isn’t it?”

Xia Sha patted her stomach with a loving gaze. It’s not until Xia Sha realizes she looks like a crazy woman before she stops.

“I must be crazy,” she shook her head as she forced her legs to strides into the bathroom.

Xiao Ni wasn’t playing around as she arrived at Xia Sha’s apartment before Xia Sha finishes getting ready.

“Come on! Be quick. Lord, no! Don’t be quick, be careful!” Xiao Ni panicked. She sounds more stressed than the one who gets knocked up.

“Don’t wear high heels. You are pregnant for the love of God,” Xiao Ni snatched away Xia Sha’s shoes before she could wear them.

“Let me help you carry your beg. Gosh, I can’t believe that I treat you like a precious baby. I wonder how my brother would react if he learns about this,” Xiao Ni murmured as she clicked her tongue in the car.

Xiao Ni’s remarks got Xia Sha stunned for the umpteenth time. Her brain filled with the baby that she forgot the baby’s father.

“Let’s not tell your brother first until we confirm everything.”

“Isn’t that is what we are doing right now?” Xiao Ni raised her right eyebrow as she glances at the building outside the car.

Xia Sha got too entertained by Xiao Ni’s laugh that she didn’t realize they had arrived at the hospital.

She felt her heart wildly race as she sat with Xiao Ni while waiting for her turn. She never felt this feeling before. On one side, she felt like jumping from the highest building in the world. It’s frightening that she feels her hand turn cold. On the other side, she felt her soul dancing around in joy.

Xiao Ni seems to realize her anxious gesture when Xia Sha felt her delicate hand transfer her warmth into hers. Xiao Ni is averting her gaze away from Xia Sha, but Xia Sha could feel Xiao Ni’s sincerity through her care.

“Don’t worry, it’s your turn soon,” Xiao Ni mumbles with a fake indifferent tone.

Xia Sha could point out the same nervousness from her shaking leg and tone. Although Xiao Ni had tried her best to hide it from Xia Sha, one cannot deny that her expression speaks out everything.

The anxiousness topped inside Xia Sha got her bladder to react.

“Wait here for a moment. I need to pee,” Xia Sha said and ran out to the bathroom almost immediately, but Xiao Ni caught her wrist and stop her.

“No, it would be your turn soon after this. You need that hold that pee and wait until we got that pee stick,” Xiao Ni furrowed her eyebrow and pulled Xia Sha back to her seat.

“But I’m-”

“Number fifteen, Miss Xia, please come inside,” A nurse shout out Xia Sha’s order number.

“Come one, it’s your turn,” Xiao Ni stood up and turned to Xia Sha with fortitude.

Xia Sha shook her head and pressed her lips into a thin line. Her hand is trembling as sweat on her forehead is trickling down.

“I cannot move my legs,” Xia Sha stammered as she looked at Xiao Ni.

Xiao Ni narrowed her eyes before and takes a deep breath and helps Xia Sha to talk into the doctor’s room. Xia Sha felt like running away, with it seems to be an impossible dream with Xiao Ni as her guardian.

However, after waiting for the result of her test both Xiao Ni and Xia Sha were speechless. They look at each other in disbelief as they said, “What?!”
