Chapter 1252: The Story of Ling and Heng (515)
“You guarantee 100% success?” Feng Ling didn’t know much about these things, but even if Li Nanheng didn’t bring any condoms here, he did pay attention every time they were intimate.
Before she was fully prepared, before she married into the Li family, he would not allow her to get pregnant easily. He would not let her fall into a dilemma or be forced.
“We’ve been here for almost half a year.”
Li Nanheng did not say more. Just one sentence, plus his meaningful gaze, was enough for her to understand what he meant.
In such a place, nightlife was not as abundant as it was outside. There were not many entertainment methods and activities. After the sky turned dark, they ate and chatted for a while. They casually used the small round stones that Li Nanheng had polished with tools as chess pieces and played with them on the ground for a while. Not long after, the two of them lay down to sleep.
What did they do when they couldn’t sleep?
Of course, every night when they couldn’t sleep, he pressed her down on the bed. This man seemed to have an endless amount of energy, and hers was always insufficient. Unless she had her period or she was too tired, he really did not give her a break.
Such a high-frequency of activity could really not guarantee a hundred percent success in contraception which meant that she was likely pregnant.
Otherwise, why would she suddenly feel sick?
Feng Ling didn’t know what it meant to be pregnant, but she observed Ji Nuan who often felt sick and couldn’t eat anything too oily or too meaty.
Thinking about her condition just now, wasn’t it about the same?
Seeing the confusion and helplessness in her eyes, Li Nanheng put down the cutlery. “Shall we go to the hospital tomorrow to check?”
Feng Ling paused and looked at him.
Both of them were well aware that she had been in the jungle for more than ten months. In these ten months, she had never left the jungle. There were only a few times in between when she needed to buy some necessities. While contacting the base, Li Nanheng would take the opportunity to find the car he had parked in a secluded parking lot outside the jungle and drive to the city. He bought some things and continued to accompany her.
Malibu’s beach was an open scenic area. However, no one would approach the area close to the jungle. After all, it was rumored that there were all kinds of ferocious animals in the jungle. In fact, it was just that the local tourism bureau did not wish for the nature of the jungle to be disturbed by tourists. However, not far from here, there were many buildings in Malibu’s beach area such as parking lots, large commercial buildings, a hospital, and many seafood hotels.
Li Nanheng’s car was parked nearby.
If they really left the jungle, everything would be closed by.
She had planned to leave after the winter, so she didn’t think much about going to the hospital. What really made her nervous was: “What if…”
“If you are pregnant, we get married immediately and give birth to it,” the man answered smoothly.
Feng Ling paused and stared at him.
“What? You don’t want to give birth? Are you not ready?” Li Nanheng raised his brows, his tone patient.
“No.” Feng Ling looked at him and said, “I just haven’t experienced this before. I don’t know what to do… Besides going to the hospital for a checkup, what else can I do?”
Li Nanheng smiled. His voice was heavy and carried a hint of a smile. “You speak as if I’ve experienced it. Let’s go to the hospital for a check-up first and then listen to the doctor?”
After all, if she was really pregnant, it wouldn’t be a joke.
Feng Ling nodded, took a few bites, and began to clean the dishes.
Seeing that she was in such a hurry to end the day and to sleep, as if she could not wait to go to the hospital for a checkup tomorrow morning, Li Nanheng smiled at her. “Don’t be too nervous.”
“No, I’m not nervous…” Feng Ling placed the bowl and chopsticks in the water and was about to wash them.
At this moment, the man behind her came over and took her hand out of the water. He took over the job of was.h.i.+ng the dishes and comforted her as he washed. “I’m usually very careful. Although our contraception measures don’t provide a hundred percent success, I don’t think the chances of pregnancy are very high. If you’re not pregnant, our original plan won’t be disrupted. If you’re really pregnant, if you’re not prepared to be a mother, you can give birth to the baby and throw her to the Li family. The four elders of the Li family will definitely take turns to take care of the baby. There’s no need for you to worry.”
Feng Ling didn’t think too much about it. Hearing his words, she subconsciously replied, “…Throw the baby to the Li family? Your own child? ”
Li Nanheng’s lips curved up. As he washed his face, he turned back and pecked her on the lips. “You haven’t even confirmed whether you are pregnant or not, and you’re already protecting it? Are you going to argue with me over a single word?”
Realizing that she had been teased by him, Feng Ling glared at him and decided to ignore him. She turned back to sit on the bed and looked at her stomach from time to time.
“So, if you really are pregnant, do you plan to take care of the child yourself in the future?” Li Nanheng washed the bowl and turned to boil the water for her.
Now that the weather was cold, they couldn’t go to the stream to wash up. There was a large bucket of water in the room. Two buckets of water a day was enough for them to cook, wash, and bathe at night. It was just that it was a bit troublesome to fetch water back and forth every day. Of course, Li Nanheng had taken all the work away.
“I never thought about it.” As Feng Ling spoke, she subconsciously placed her hand on her stomach. She recalled that when Ji Nuan was pregnant, she would always subconsciously protect her own belly. It turned out to be this feeling. Right now, she didn’t know whether she was pregnant or not, but she already had this sort of consciousness.
So, when Ji Nuan woke up in the hospital and found that her child was gone, how did she survive those months, especially when Mr. Mo was still unconscious?
How painful and sad must it be.
“You can think about it seriously now.” Li Nanheng pinched her chin as he walked past the bed, and then continued to prepare the water. After several months, this young master of the Li family had grown used to loving her, taking care of her, and trying to keep her from doing as little as possible. He rushed to do everything that he could, and Feng Ling was almost used to being taken care of by him. She didn’t even need to prepare the bath water herself.
When Li Nanheng finished preparing the water and indicated that she could take a shower, Feng Ling lowered her head to observe her flat abdomen.
How did it feel to be a mother?
She suddenly remembered that time in the cafe, when Qin Qiu sat in front of her and kept staring at her face, that careful, warm, and hesitant gaze.
