Peninsula: I, a chaebol! I will never follow hidden rules.

At around 1:00 p.m., Bae Joo-hyun woke up on a hospital bed in a high-end ward at Seoul Hospital.

When she opened her eyes and saw the environment she was in, she was stunned for a moment, then realized that she was in a ward.

How did I end up in the ward?
Bae Joo-hyun frowned and thought carefully. She remembered that she first went to the fried chicken shop in Myeongdong this morning to inspect the progress of the store's renovation, and then went to Yeouido to visit Girls' Generation's autograph session.

After the book signing event started, she waited in the backstage lounge, planning to have lunch with Lin Yuner and the others at noon. While waiting, she suddenly felt dizzy, and then her vision went black and she passed out.

Am I low blood sugar? Or is there something wrong?
Thinking of this, Bae Joo-hyun struggled to support herself and sat up against the head of the bed. She first looked at her hands, then looked around.

She was not on an IV drip and there was no one in the ward. There was a plate of fruit, a plate of snacks, and a cup of warm honey water on the bedside table.

Seeing these things, Bae Joo-hyun concluded that she must have hypoglycemia.

However, she didn't know whether she really had hypoglycemia, but she knew she was hungry, so she reached out and took the fruit plate, picked up a piece of durian and stuffed it into her mouth.

Sweet and soft! Mmm~ delicious!

"Click~"

Pei Zhuxuan was enjoying her meal when the door of the ward was suddenly pushed open. Turning her head, a happy smile instantly bloomed on her bright face, and then she said with a hint of apology, "I'm sorry, I don't know why I have low blood sugar. I made you worry."

Li Zhixuan didn't say anything. He sat down beside the bed, hugged Pei Zhuxuan in his arms, and kissed her delicate cherry lips.

Because the heroine was eating durian just now, the kiss was a bit smelly. But Li Zhixuan didn't mind at all, and kissed her seriously, deeply, and vigorously. Pei Zhuxuan felt a little enjoyable at first, but soon she was a little scared.

Panic-stricken, Pei Zhuxuan quickly pushed Li Zhixuan away: "Wait a minute! Why are you so excited? Do I have a terminal illness? Am I dying soon? Will I never be able to kiss you again if we don't kiss now? Tell me, I'm very strong. I will definitely cooperate with the treatment and will not give up on myself."

Li Zhixuan was stunned: "You can accept a terminal illness?"

"Yes!" Bae Joo-hyun nodded vigorously, her face serious and earnest, but in fact she was starting to panic: Is this really a terminal illness? I'm only 24 years old!
"That's great!"

"what?"

Looking at Li Zhixuan's excited face, Pei Zhuxuan was confused: Is it something worth being happy about that I can accept that I have a terminal illness?

"Boo!" Just when Pei Zhuxuan was puzzled, the excited Li Zhixuan couldn't help but hug Pei Zhuxuan and sucked her lips loudly, and said with a smile: "If you can accept a terminal illness, then you will definitely be able to accept what I am going to say next."

"what's up?"

Li Zhixuan tried hard to control the corners of his mouth, took out a folded report from his trouser pocket and put it in Pei Zhuxuan's hand.

Bae Joo-hyun opened the report and took a closer look: [Diagnosis: Intrauterine pregnancy (approximately 3 weeks+)]

(=Д=)
Seeing Pei Zhuxuan stunned with surprise, Li Zhixuan finally couldn't help it and hugged Pei Zhuxuan in his arms: "Haha! You are going to be a mother! Hahaha! I am going to be a father again! Hahaha! Mumumu! Hahaha!"

The first child has not been born yet, and the second child is here. The scumbag was so excited that he kissed and hugged Bae Joo-hyun and laughed.

Look at Bae Joo-hyun again, she is controlling! Control! Control again!
Finally, I couldn't control myself, and I broke down crying with my mouth open: "Wu ...
Seeing this, Li Zhixuan panicked and quickly said, "Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry. It's not good for the child if you cry."

Pei Zhuxuan, who was emotionally broken, couldn't stop crying and asked, "Didn't you take precautions? How did you get pregnant?"

This question made the scumbag feel awkward. He smiled awkwardly and explained, "It's not like I take precautions every time. It's inevitable that I'll get caught."

"No, ever since I found out that Xicaoni was pregnant, I always told you to take safety precautions."

"Look at the date. It was more than three weeks ago, more than twenty days ago. At that time, Xika hadn't found out she was pregnant yet."

Huh? This... is this fate?

Gradually, Pei Zhuxuan's emotions stabilized, and then she leaned into Li Zhixuan's arms, with a dull look in her eyes that showed a hint of despair. She murmured, "Is my star journey over? My life seems to be over. I wow..."

As she spoke, she couldn't help crying again. Li Zhixuan quickly said, "Stop, stop, stop! Being pregnant isn't like going to jail. How can your life be over?"

Pei Zhuxuan sat up and looked at Li Zhixuan with tears in her eyes: "Can I still work after I get pregnant? Will you still allow me to work? After giving birth, I have to take care of the child and will have no time to work.

When he goes to school, I will have time to work. What kind of work can I do after taking a break for several years? My life will be locked up by the child. Ugh~

Before Bae Joo-hyun could finish her words, Li Zhixuan, who couldn't bear to listen any longer, covered her mouth.

"Come on! Was your mother locked up after giving birth to you? After giving birth to you, your mother gave birth to your sister. Was she locked up by you two sisters?"

Upon hearing this, Pei Zhuxuan angrily pulled away Li Zhixuan's hand covering her mouth and retorted: "My mother's situation was different from mine back then! And you are so mean to me!"

Li Zhixuan wiped the tears from her face and said helplessly, "Eileen, you're a young woman, a pregnant woman, but you can't be a nagging wife. Look at Xika, did I ever stop her from doing this or that? She always does whatever makes her happy. Why do you think having a child will deprive you of your freedom?"

"But..." Bae Joo-hyun wanted to refute, but she hesitated.

Seeing this, Li Zhixuan immediately asked, "But what? Just say whatever you think. Is there anything we can't talk about between us?"

"I..." Pei Zhuxuan hesitated, her eyes dodging and not daring to look into Li Zhixuan's eyes. She lowered her head and whispered, "I...I don't want this child, okay?"

!!!

Li Zhixuan's heart suddenly tightened, as if a heavy hammer had hit his chest, making him feel like he couldn't breathe.

After a pause, he spoke and asked gently, "Can I ask why?"

Although he hid his emotions very well, he was so excited just now. Couldn't Bae Joo-hyun imagine how sad he was feeling right now?
In fact, she was also very conflicted, after all, that was her child.

"I'm sorry, it's not that I don't want to have a baby for you. But I was a trainee for five years before debuting. I really can't bear to take a break just one year after debuting. Can we wait two years before having a baby? Just two years."

Looking at Pei Zhuxuan's pitiful appearance with tears streaming down her face and listening to her almost pleading tone, how could Li Zhixuan not feel distressed?
Suddenly a child came and he was very excited, but should he save the adult or the child?
Is he going to quarrel with Bae Joo-hyun over a child who hasn't even formed yet? After all, they are still young, so why should they worry about not being able to have children in the future?
Immediately, Li Zhixuan hugged Pei Zhuxuan in his arms, then gently stroked her back to comfort her, and said: "In this case, I will help you think of a solution."

"What solution?" Bae Joo-hyun asked cautiously, because she was a little unsure whether Li Zhixuan was really not angry or was about to explode. Li Zhixuan explained, "My father already knows that you are pregnant. If you dare to have an abortion directly, the consequences... I can't even imagine it. So if you really don't want this child, you have to think of a way to hide it from them."

"Your parents know about this?!" Bae Joo-hyun was shocked.

My pregnancy has already been reported to the gods? If I lose the child, how can I possibly recover? Forget about having an abortion. Even if it's an accidental miscarriage, I'm afraid they'll still be critical of me, right?
Bae Joo-hyun was a little panicked and was reconsidering whether to abort the child.

Li Zhixuan also noticed that Pei Zhuxuan was nervous, so he comforted her, "Don't worry, I will help you find a way. But before you have an abortion, you have to take care of your body first.

The doctor said that you fainted because the increase in estrogen and progesterone during pregnancy may affect the metabolism of other hormones, resulting in a decrease in blood sugar regulation ability, thereby causing hypoglycemia.

So, take good care of yourself these few days, and I'll try to think of a solution."

As for abortion, it must be done in a hospital for safety reasons.

But since she had to have an abortion in the hospital, she couldn't let Lee Jung-hyun and his wife know. She also had to create an accident to make Bae Joo-hyun have a "miscarriage", and Lee Jung-hyun and his wife couldn't blame Bae Joo-hyun for this "accident".

This solution is not easy to find.

"Tuk~Tuk Tuk~"

Suddenly, there was a knock on the ward door, and then it was pushed open a crack. Lin Yuner poked her head in: "You... Eh? Irene, why are you crying? Are you excited?"

The ward door was so soundproofed that Yoona and the others in the living room didn't hear Bae Joo-hyun crying at all. So when she saw Bae Joo-hyun's face was all red from crying, Yoona was a little surprised, thinking she was just too happy.

Seeing this, Li Zhixuan smiled helplessly: "Why are you so excited? She's almost broken down. She wants to wait two years before having another child."

"You agree?" Lin Yuna looked surprised.

Li Zhixuan nodded: "Just wait for two years, we are still young."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuner smiled brightly, and then waved to Li Zhixuan: "Come out."

"What?" Li Zhixuan felt that Yun Baoer's smile was a hint of fart, so he didn't dare to move. Pei Zhuxuan also looked a little nervous.

Seeing Li Zhixuan holding Pei Zhuxuan motionless, Lin Yuner stopped pretending and said with a serious face: "Come out quickly!"

Bae Joo-hyun was frightened!
Seeing this, Li Zhixuan quickly hugged Pei Zhuxuan and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, she's not targeting you, don't think too much."

"Yeah." Bae Joo-hyun nodded timidly, and after hesitating for a moment, she let go of Li Zhixuan.

Then, Li Zhixuan gave Pei Zhuxuan a reassuring look, then went outside and closed the door. He said to Lin Yuner with some blame, "Eileen is emotionally unstable right now, so don't scare her. I promise to work harder on you and make sure you get pregnant before the Spring Festival, okay?"

"Who wants it? Wait outside!"

After giving the scumbag a cold look, Yoona opened the door and walked into the ward.

"Yoona unni." Seeing Lin Yoona coming in alone, Bae Joo-hyun became even more nervous and wanted to get out of bed quickly.

Seeing this, Lin Yuner hurried over and said, "Okay, okay, don't move, just stay on the bed."

As she spoke, Lin Yuner sat down on the edge of the bed, took Pei Zhuxuan's hand and asked, "Don't you want this child?"

"Yeah." Bae Joo-hyun was a little nervous because she knew that Lim Yoon-ah had been trying to have a child but couldn't. She got pregnant unexpectedly but didn't want it.

If you put yourself in her shoes, you will realize that she is really annoying!

Lin Yuner was indeed a little jealous and a little angry. But they were comrades after all, so Lin Yuner didn't get angry. She just asked, "Why don't you want it?"

"I've been a trainee for five years and have only debuted for a year. Red Velvet is currently in the middle of nowhere. If I leave the group, will Red Velvet still have a future? What will happen to Seungwan, Seulgi, Sooyoung, and Yerin?"

Is this also a reason?

Lin Yuna was helpless: "No one asked you to leave the group. In fact, you just need to take a year off. You can continue activities after a year. And you don't have to worry about Seulgi and the others. Our scumbag will compensate them."

"So, after a year of rest, will Red Velvet still have a chance to reach the top?"

This statement left people speechless: "Does reaching the top really matter? Even if you become the world's number one female idol, does that mean you're worthy of him?"

"I'm not trying to be worthy of him, I'm trying to realize my own life value."

After hearing Bae Joo-hyun's explanation, Lin Yuna felt it was even more ridiculous: "Is your life value to be a big star? In South Korea, don't you know what the social status of idols is? Apart from this man, which other young man would be sincere to you?"
Do you know where he was when you fainted? He was in Busan on his way back to Seoul with Taeyeon. After he found out you fainted, he was so anxious to get back to see you that he even ordered a helicopter to fly back to see you.

After he found out that you fainted because of your pregnancy, he almost broke down with laughter. He was afraid that we would get jealous and envy you, so he coaxed us for a long time.

And! He actually agreed to your abortion. How are you going to ask him to explain this to his parents?

"I……"

After hearing what Yoona said, Bae Joo-hyun was moved, guilty, and panicked, and she didn't know what to do for a moment.

Seeing this, Yoona decided to add fuel to the fire.

"If it were me, I wouldn't make him sad. I would give birth to the child and focus on my business.

Even if I am a star, I am still just an actor in the eyes of those people. I don’t want to be looked down upon.

I want to prove to his parents that I just don’t have the resources or background. If I had them, I’d be better than anyone else!
