Chapter 1 — Pregnant With Ex-Boyfriend

1

The prenatal examination report said that I was ten weeks pregnant. The baby belongs to Ha Duat Xuyen. But just three months ago, I dumped him. Kicked in a very cruel way. I criticized him for being poor, saying people like him couldn't give me the life I wanted. He stood at the door of the motel room, his eyes red and scary, but he only asked me one question.

“Khuong Tu, will you regret it later?”

Of course I don't regret it. As the little princess of the Khuong family, only others have ever regretted me. But now, I am sitting on a bench outside the obstetrics department, holding an abortion appointment paper, my fingertips cold and numb. The nurse called my name.

“Khuong Tu, come in and sign.”

I stood up, my legs were a bit weak. The phone vibrated a few times and Quy Van Chau sent a text message. [Tonight at the clubhouse, there's a party to welcome you. I heard you finally got rid of Ha Duat Xuyen?] I stared at that line, my stomach churning. Shake off cleanly. It sounds so gentle. The doctor pushed the commitment paper in front of me, his voice very calm.

“If you confirm that you will not keep this child, please sign here.”

As soon as the pen nib touched the paper, a line of text suddenly appeared before my eyes. [Sign, after signing, the countdown will begin on the time to be cannon fodder.] My hand shook, the pen nib tore the paper. I suddenly raised my head. The doctor was still bowing his head and arranging medical records, but the nurse did not react. But the lines in front of my eyes are becoming more and more numerous. [The ex-girlfriend who used to make fun of her finally followed the original plot.] [After she had an abortion, she went to Quy Van Chau's cocktail party, was photographed, and the whole social network cursed her for having a chaotic private life. Three months later, he was in a car accident and died tragically.] [What a pity, this child is Ha Duat Xuyen's only living relative.] My back chilled. A series of new comments appeared again. [After she died, Ha Duat Xuyen frantically searched for her, and finally only found Lam Nhuy An.] [Lam Nhuy An really knew how to pick up bargains, she had children available, men were also available.] [Ha Duat Xuyen later became a crazy person in the capitalist world, with hundreds of billions of assets, unfortunately Khuong Tu did not have the blessing.] I stared at the three words "Lam Nhuy An", my chest felt like it was pricked by a needle. Who is Lam Nhuy An? On what basis should I pick up my child? Based on what to choose Ha Duat Xuyen? The doctor urged me: "Miss Khuong?" I lowered my head to look at the commitment paper and suddenly burst out laughing. Laugh until your eyes sting. Ha Duat Xuyen really has a future. Before, I criticized him for being poor, criticized the place where he lived as not being as good as my closet. Now these comments tell me that in the future you will have hundreds of billions in assets. I clutched the pregnancy examination form and tore the abortion commitment form in half. The doctor was stunned.

“Miss Khuong, what are you doing?”

“My hand slipped.”

I stuffed the scraps of paper into my bag, turned around and walked away. The nurse chased after me and called me to pay an additional examination fee. I didn't even bother to turn around. It was raining outside, the wind blew into my skirt, and it was so cold that my lower abdomen ached. I called a car and read the address of Ha Duat Xuyen's old apartment complex. The driver looked at me through the rearview mirror.

"Girl, your face is so poor, are you looking for your family?"

I gently rubbed my lower abdomen, my voice trembling tremble.

“Go find the baby's father.”

Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of the gate of an old apartment complex. Half of the stair light is broken, the wall paint is peeling and wet. I stepped upstairs in high heels, the sound of my heels echoing loudly in the empty hallway. When the door opened, Ha Duat Xuyen was wearing a black hoodie, his hair was half wet, and his eyes were cold. He saw me, his eyes paused for a second.

“Khuong Tu?”

I slapped the prenatal examination form on his chest, trying to raise my chin.

“Ha Duat Xuyen, I'm pregnant.”

He bowed his head and looked at the paper. I bit my lip and said the most shameless sentence.

“Let's go back.”

Ha Duat Xuyen did not accept the prenatal examination form. The paper slid down from his chest, falling on the ground. The humidity in the hallway was very heavy, I was wearing thin clothes, the cold wind blew in from behind, freezing my fingertips. He lowered his eyes to look at me, his expression cold as if he were watching a ridiculous play.

“Khuong Tu.”

“What tricks do you want to play again?”

I was speechless. It's really hard to hear. But I have no right to be angry. Three months ago, because I wanted to save face in front of Quy Van Chau's friends, I announced in public that Ha Duat Xuyen was only my temporary joy. He told me not to regret it later. I replied: "Who regrets being a dog?" Now it's good. The dog ran here by itself. I bent down to pick up the pregnancy checkup form and stuffed it back into his hand.

"A hospital certificate, six weeks pregnant. If you don't believe me, you can come check with me."

Ha Duat Xuyen finally accepted it. He glanced at her, the corner of his mouth curled up in a cold smile.

“Six weeks?”

“Khuong Tu, we broke up three months ago.”

My face was hot.

“The night before we broke up, did you forget?”

His fingertips stopped. I also remember that night. I got drunk and went to his apartment and asked to break up. We talked back and forth for a while then immediately fell into bed. That night he was especially ferocious, as if he wanted to crush me to the core. The next day when I woke up, I left behind the sentence "Adults, each take what you need", then picked up my bag and left. Ha Duat Xuyen stared at me, his eyes even colder.

“So what?”

“When a child is born, it belongs to me.”

I was afraid I would hesitate so I spoke very quickly.

"I can coordinate the examination and care for the pregnancy. Wait for the baby to be born safely, you take the baby, I keep my life."

He frowned.

“Save your life?”

I opened my mouth. The story about the comments is so strange, if I told you, you would think I was crazy. I had to say nonsense.

"Anyway, I've been very unlucky lately. Just consider me superstitious."

Ha Duat Xuyen burst out laughing. That smile had no temperature at all.

“Khuong Tu, what do you think of me?”

My throat tightened.

“Ex-boyfriend.”

“The one who spills the beans.”

Please fill in more for me. I was so angry that my eyes turned red. Before, it was always you who comforted me. If I just shed one tear, he would surrender immediately. But this time, he stood at the door, not even intending to let me in. I turned around to leave. Who wants it? Just after taking two steps, the comment line appeared before my eyes. [Does she still dare to go? A trap has already been set for Quy Van Chau's party tonight.] [As soon as Khuong Tu leaves Ha Duat Xuyen's protection range, the plot will immediately push her back to the party. that party.] [There were drugs in the wine, the photo was released, the Khuong family lost face, when Ha Duat Xuyen ran over, they only saw her being carried on a stretcher to an ambulance.] My steps stopped. The hallway lights flickered, white light shining on the walls, looking like a morgue.
