I am pregnant with the villain's child

Chapter 29 and 30

Chapter 29

“Don’t say anything. Your fever just subsided. You need to properly rest.”

Ye Qing shook her head. She urgently looked at Lin Zhan. “What’s today’s date?”

Lin Zhan knit his brows slightly. “What’s wrong? You seem off. Are you feeling unwell?”

“Tell me today’s date first!” Ye Qing suddenly became agitated. Shouting like that made her sore throat worse. She ended up lowering head as she coughed.

“Relax.” Lin Zhan put the bowl of white congee down on the nearby desk. Pulling a tissue out, he worriedly and gently wipe the corners of her lips for her. “Today is October 7th.”

After a severe coughing fit, Ye Qing’s face was flushed. Leaning back on the headboard, her forehead was scrunched up. Her dry, cracked, utterly pale lips murmured, “The 7th? October 7th?”

“What’s wrong?”

Ye Qing shook her head and lowered it to hide the guilt in her eyes. “I… It’s nothing. I just feel a bit tired.”

After saying this, she lied back down and buried most of her face underneath the quilt.

“Are you feeling unwell? That’s not good. Qingqing, I’ll bring you to the hospital!”

Ye Qing shook her head. Underneath the quilt, she said in a low, muffled voice, “No need, I’ll feel better after I get some more sleep. You can do your own stuff. I can take care of myself.”

“But…”

Ye Qing peered out from the quilt. Her eyes looked somewhat tired, but she forced herself to smile as she said, “I’m fine, really. Don’t worry.”

Lin Zhan knew that she had a stubborn temperament. She would rather obstinately bear the trouble on her own than bother him. He could only helplessly look at her. He tucked the corners of the quilt around her. “Okay, have a good rest. But, if you’re not feeling well anywhere, you have to call for me.”

Ye Qing nodded. She watched him through a crack in the quilt.

At this time, Lin Zhan was still very young. His soft, black hair wasn’t deliberately combed upwards. Instead, it was left hanging over his forehead. There was less of the eliteness that had come with maturity and experience, and there was more of the softness of youth. His facial features were still very gentle. He looked very youthful in his simple, white T-shirt.

A boy like this, at such an age and experience, he was a fantasy come to life for so many young women. He would be the first choice for a boyfriend.

However, after experiencing society’s hardships, she understood that while this boy was suitable as a boyfriend, he wasn’t husband material.

Ye Qing buried her face into the quilt. The painful prickling feeling as her saliva went down her throat reminded her that this wasn’t a dream. This was reality! She had really reborn!

Right now, it was one month after she had run away with Lin Zhan.

In her previous life, she had thought about this several times. If only god would let her go back in time, she definitely wouldn’t choose to run away with Lin Zhan again.

However much she loved Lin Zhan in her youth, that was how much she regretted it later on.

In youth, people were frivolous. Innocent, unblemished youths had no idea how hard it was to live in the migratory population. Her life had been too easy under the shelter of her parents’ protective wings. She had thought the outside world would be a safe shelter like her parents’ home. However, it was only after she had experienced it for herself that she understood. She had spent the rest of her life struggling and all she got was a 100 square meter home. If you didn’t have any power or influence, you could only be at the mercy of other people.

All of the love she once felt for Lin Zhan was worn down to nothing by time and the necessary minutiae of daily life.

Chapter 30

Later on, she saw Ye Zhen sitting inside a Bentley. She looked as glamorously beautiful as before.

She and Ye Zhen were identical twins. Their appearances had once been exactly the same. Only ten years had passed, and she was forced to rush about for her livelihood while Ye Zhen’s appearance had remained unchanged from their youth. Her face was as fair and exquisite as before. Behaving as if she was still a little child, Ye Zhen acted cutely spoiled towards the coldly indifferent man sitting next to her. Even when her cute and sensible son pretended he was getting goosebumps in an exaggerated manner, that man from the Lu Family, who was a man of his word, only helplessly looked at her. He quietly listened to her speak. From time to time, he would gently kiss her lips and face.

At that time, she had come to a sudden realization. Other than having a touching story that was appealing to the masses, the love you had in your youth was useless. It couldn’t even be compared to a filling meal or a house.

In the present, lying on the hard wooden bed, Ye Qing shivered from the cold. She couldn’t help but curl up.

If it was Ye Zhen that was sick, Lu Beichuan would definitely send her to the hospital in panic. He would find her the best doctors. She would be using the very best medical instruments and medicine.

No, that was wrong. How Ye Zhen even get sick under Lu Beichuan’s care?

Ye Zhen was the treasure in Lu Beichuan’s hand. How could he possibly be careless enough to let his treasure get sick?

But, why?! That wasn’t fair!

Back then, she should have been the one that married Lu Beichuan. Ye Zhen had just taken her place in marrying Lu Beichuan. Ye Zhen had sat down in the seat that belonged to her. She should be the one sitting in that Bentley and enjoying that man’s gentle gaze!

From childhood to adulthood, she had been more outstanding than Ye Zhen. She was the one that received everyone’s praise. The outstanding her should have gotten a perfect life and a happy marriage. It was Ye Zhen that had snatched away the life that should have belonged to her.

In her nighttime dreams, there were many times when she dreamed about not having run away from her marriage back then. In her dreams, she had married Lu Beichuan and become his wife. She had given birth to a lovable son. Their family of three lived a blissfully blessed life.

However, she would have never expected to be given a second chance at life after waking up!

In addition, Lu Beichuan hadn’t woken up yet. She still had a chance!

Lu Beichuan would wake up half a month later from today. As long as she went back right now and replaced Ye Zhen, no one would find out they had switched places. Once Lu Beichuan woke up, she would be Lu Beichuan’s wife, Mrs. Lu.

***

That evening, after Lin Zhan came home from work, he opened the door and saw a suitcase by the doorway. Ye Qing was sitting on the second-handed cloth-covered sofa.

Seeing Lin Zhan walking inside, she said, “Lin Zhan, let’s break up.”

Lin Zhan, who had been in the middle of changing his shoes for house slippers, trembled. After a pause, he carried on with changing into slippers. He walked to Ye Qing and half-crouched down before her. He forced himself to smile as he asked,” Qingqing, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell somewhere?”

Ye Qing looked at him expressionlessly. Her face had the weakness of someone that just recovered from a serious illness. “I’m not joking. I’m really breaking up with you.”

“Breaking up? Why? Hasn’t our relationship always been good?”
