The fake heiress from the 1970s was kicked out at the beginning, but became a village girl and was p

Before Jiang Muxuan could even nod, Jiang Yuyan pushed the wheelchair inside.

"Brother, I forgot to tell you, your rehabilitation will take about a month. During this time, you should also review some college entrance exam material."

Don't rush into preparing for the college entrance exam and end up not doing well; that would be a real shame. This time, you absolutely must be fully prepared.

As intelligent as Jiang Muxuan was, how could he not understand her meaning?

She smiled and didn't refuse, since they had all agreed to work hard to buy a house for her younger sister.

Back home,

Jiang Yuyan was pulled away by Master Qi, and the two were looking at a jar of medicinal wine in the study.

"Uh, Master, you mean this is a medicinal wine you brewed after improving the recipe I gave you?" Jiang Yuyan covered her nose and stepped back slightly.

Qi Ming rolled his eyes at her, opened the medicinal wine, and a strong, pungent smell of medicine hit him right in the head, almost making him faint.

"Yue~~" Jiang Yuyan felt nauseous and wanted to vomit.

"Master, are you sure this is medicinal wine and not a chemical attack? Is this your newly developed poison gas? It's terrifying—"

Qi Ming also covered his nose, moved slightly away from the 'poisonous gas' attack, and showed a rare look of embarrassment.

"Isn't this a way to change your prescription in a direction no one would expect? For this, I even went out of my way to find the smelliest yet harmless herb—chicken dung vine, yue~"

"Cough cough, but I didn't expect the smell to be so strong? Huff, I'm having a bit of trouble breathing, I'll go out for a bit." He ran out the door before he finished speaking.

Jiang Yuyan felt dizzy and nauseous, her face turning pale.

She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt a slight stinging pain in her stomach. The pain disappeared quickly, as if it were all just her imagination.

Master Qi came out for a while but didn't see his apprentice, who usually ran faster than him, come out. He found it strange, so he turned around and went in. He saw her pale-faced and looked like she was about to faint at any moment, so he quickly helped her to the door.

He went in again and brought out a stool for her to sit on, so he could take her pulse, but Jiang Yuyan dodged it.

"Master, I'm fine. I was just attacked by the 'poisonous gas' you brewed, and I feel a little nauseous."

Qi Ming frowned. "Really? When did you become so fragile? Why don't you take a look at your face in the mirror? It's as white as hell—"

Jiang Yuyan suppressed the urge to vomit, shook her head, and made sure she was really okay.

"I'll go back and get some sleep, that'll do. Master, please wait for me to wake up before you come back." He left with heavy steps.

Lying in bed, Jiang Yuyan's expression was no longer relaxed; instead, it was grave.

After carefully taking my pulse, I discovered that I could also faintly feel another kind of sensation in my pulse.

No, she might be mistaken.

Try again—

Impossible, she'll try again—

...

After trying several times with the same result, Jiang Yuyan finally collapsed on the bed, looking utterly hopeless.

She, a woman who had no partner, no boyfriend, and had never even touched a man's hand, actually diagnosed herself as pregnant by taking her pulse.

Has her medical skills deteriorated to the level of a quack?

How could she possibly—

A man's image suddenly appeared in her mind. Perhaps it was because she was too ashamed, or perhaps it was because their night together was a mistake, causing that memory to be buried deep in the corner of Jiang Yuyan's heart.

She hoped that this would make it seem like nothing had happened, and that it would allow her and Ling Wenchen to live peacefully together. Over time, she truly forgot about it.

Think about it, it's been almost two months since that night.

Jiang Yuyan covered her face, in despair.

Gritting my teeth, do you have to be this accurate?

You won in just one night?

Thinking about Ling Wenchen's muscular physique when dressed but slim when undressed, and his lithe waist, it seems, perhaps, that his chances of getting pregnant on the first try aren't so bad.

ahhh-

Jiang Yuyan rolled around on the bed, slapping herself and shaking her head incessantly, looking like a madwoman.

No, this is not the time to think about such things.

Furthermore, she is only 18 years old. She has no intention of getting married and having children at such a young age, and being trapped in the shackles of family for the rest of her life.

Jiang Yuyan pondered for a long time, staring at the ceiling with her eyes wide open, and finally made a difficult decision.

She decided not to have the child.

This child came at the wrong time. Ling Wenchen was clearly from a different world than her; they were destined to be together but not to stay together.

If she keeps the child, regardless of whether Ling Wenchen gets married in the future, she can tell the child that her father is dead—

If some dramatic turn of events occurs in the future, and the child finds out that he has a biological father who is a military officer, and develops malicious intentions, then she, as his mother, won't be able to stop him even if she wants to.

This is a hurt and a huge insult to Ling Wenchen's family.

Therefore, the best outcome would be to abort the child before Ling Wenchen even knows it exists.

The moment the thought flashed through her mind, she felt a slight stinging pain in her stomach, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

Jiang Yuyan, who didn't feel sad or upset: "..."

Touching her tear-streaked face, she still couldn't believe how deep the feeling was. She hadn't felt any sadness, yet the baby in her womb had already transmitted that sadness to her.

Jiang Yuyan touched her belly and helplessly tried to reason with it.

"You know you've come at the worst possible time, don't you? Your mother hasn't even sorted out her own affairs yet, and besides, your father—cough cough, his marriage to me wasn't voluntary; it was a mistake from the start—"

Before she could finish speaking, tears streamed down her face.

Jiang Yuyan was on the verge of tears. Did this mean there was no room for negotiation?

After lying down for a short while, he started laughing to himself again.

Jiang Yuyan really felt like she was going crazy. Even if she was pregnant, the baby was less than two months old. How could it possibly understand her words and give her a response?

Was she so shocked by this news that she lost her mind?

Otherwise, why would she have such a strange idea?

Okay, I'll go to the pharmacy another day and buy some mild abortion pills myself.

Hmm??

Jiang Yuyan groaned, clutching her stomach and curling up in a cold sweat.

What... is going on?

Why did my stomach suddenly start hurting again, and this time it hurts even more than before? Could it be that the baby in my belly can really hear what I'm thinking?

What did she just say?

Oh right, she said she was going to buy abortion pills—

Ugh!

Another sharp pain shot through her stomach, and Jiang Yuyan groaned. This time, she was truly certain that the child in her womb could hear her thoughts and respond to them.

"Little sister?? Little sister's out for dinner, little—"

Jiang Yuyan opened the door, looking dejected and utterly hopeless, which startled Jiang Muren, who thought she was sick.

"Little sister, are you feeling unwell? Why are you so pale? Quick, let Master Qi take a look—"
