Xiao Zheng's expression was sluggish and blank. His pair of eyes that were originally full of vigor were now dim and lifeless. He looks at Lin Huayin, but his eyes are not focused at all. He just looks at Lin Huayin blankly, and his face is gloomy.
Lin Huayin is silent, and her cold eyes slowly look at Xiao Zheng. She gently raises the corner of her mouth, but she can't say a word.
She hears the disappointment in Xiao Zheng's question, and she also feels Xiao Zheng's helplessness that is close to despair. But what can she do? She's not pregnant. Can she give birth to a child out of thin air? Does she want to lie to Xiao Zheng?
Lin Huayin never lies, and she's not good at lying. What she can do is to tell Xiao Zheng everything, even if it will hurt this cynical man.
Lin Huayin tries hard to restrain the chaos in her eyes. She just doesn't want anyone to see her confused side. But she doesn't know that the calmer and plainer she is at this moment, the more hurt she is to Xiao Zheng. It's like a knife cutting into Xiao Zheng's heart, making him unable to bear the suffocating eyes of Lin Huayin.
Xiao Zheng finally escapes the scene.
He gets up, rushes into the bathroom in a daze, and only leaves a very confused sentence: "I'm going to take a shower."
He wants to wash away his chaotic thoughts with cold water. He can't face Lin Huayin's cold eyes as usual. He used to be confident because he had an unavoidable relationship with Lin Huayin. At this moment, Lin Huayin's eyes are like the scorching sun, which makes him not dare to look at her directly. He just wants to find a place where no one is around to calm down.
Xiao Zheng hides in the bathroom, but Lin Huayin sits on the bed with a complicated expression. She seems indifferent, but in fact, her thoughts are chaotic.
Xiao Zheng doesn't know how to face her, and she doesn't either. Xiao Zheng didn't dare to look directly at her eyes, so how could she dare to look at Xiao Zheng's disappointed eyes?
Xiao Zheng hoped that she could be pregnant with their child. Now, Lin Huayin was no longer as resistant as before and was willing to accept the little life in her belly. Unfortunately, God played a huge joke on them and took away the little life that they were ready to welcome. Without any warning, that little life was taken away without any leeway.
"Why?"
With a soft sigh, Lin Huayin gently stroked her flat abdomen and muttered to herself, "Why don't you work harder?"
…
It was late at night.
After taking a shower, Xiao Zheng turned off the bedside lamp and lay on the bed beside Lin Huayin with a heavy heart.
He didn't know how Lin Huayin would deal with the relationship between them tomorrow morning, and he didn't know how to face Lin Huayin, who was no longer pregnant with his own child. But he knew that when Lin Huayin confirmed that she was not pregnant, he was no longer qualified to live in Lin's house, and he had no reason to occupy Lin Huayin —
Of course, Lin Huayin might also fulfill her promise. From then on, they would go their separate ways and would not owe each other anything.
Xiao Zheng pillowed his head and stared at the clean ceiling in a daze. He was extremely depressed.
Everything was at his fingertips, and everything was developing in a good direction. But overnight, everything was gone. Lin Huayin had no child, and he had lost the qualification to continue to live in Lin's house.
Xiao Zheng had insomnia. It was the first time that he had insomnia since he moved into Lin's house. It was harder to endure than any sleepless night. He was lying on the soft bed, wearing the cleanest and most comfortable pajamas, and there was a woman with a beautiful face and temperament lying beside him, but he was not sleepy at all. It was as if he was lying on an icehouse, and his whole body was cold and without warmth.
The late summer night was no longer hot and dry. The slightly cool night wind poured through the window and hit the body with a slight chill. His lower abdomen needed to be covered with a blanket to relieve the discomfort caused by the large temperature difference between day and night. The bright moon passed through the curtains and hit the bed as if it was daytime. It clearly reflected the bodies of the two people.
"Are you asleep?"
Lin Huayin, who was at the head of the bed, suddenly made a slight sound, as if she was testing.
"No." Xiao Zheng, who was lying on the bed without moving, responded softly. His voice was low and hoarse.
After the response, the room fell into silence again. It was a dead silence.
There was a lively sound of insects outside the window, but inside the window, it was cold and quiet. There were only two weak but very chaotic breathing sounds.
Xiao Zheng waited and listened silently to the sound beside the bed. He didn't know what Lin Huayin wanted to say, but he had prepared for the worst: to leave the Lin family.
But the wait was always long. It was only a few minutes of waiting, but Xiao Zheng seemed to have waited for a century.
"Although I'm not pregnant. You can continue to live here. "
After a long silence, Lin Huayin said in a slightly complicated tone, "Anyway, there is still half a month before the expiration of our agreement."
Hearing this, Xiao Zheng's body trembled slightly. He sat up in disbelief and stared at Lin Huayin, who was lying on her side. "You mean, I can continue to live here?"
"Yes." Lin Huayin did not get up, but nodded gently.
She found a way for herself. The agreement had not expired, and Xiao Zheng had no need to leave, unless Xiao Zheng didn't want to live here.
"But I —" Xiao Zheng's lips twitched, and he was silent for a long time.
"If you have a better place to go —" Lin Huayin said calmly. "I respect your choice."
Her attitude was calm, but her tone clearly contained a hint of complicated meaning.
After she finished speaking, the room fell into silence again. Dead silence.
A better place to go?
Lin Huayin's villa was basically the highest grade villa in Mingzhu. Unless someone provided him with a manor, Xiao Zheng couldn't have a better place to go.
But —
After confirming that Lin Huayin was not pregnant, what identity should he use to get along with her? This was the most important question for Xiao Zheng at present.
Colleague? Friend? Or — continue to be a husband and wife by agreement?
Xiao Zheng's silence made Lin Huayin, who was lying on her side, turn over unnaturally. She glanced at Xiao Zheng, who was sitting on the bed, but found that he was just staring at her blankly. She couldn't help but frown and ask, "What are you thinking about?"
"I'm thinking about whether there are any empty rooms in the house." Xiao Zheng answered truthfully. "Xiao Ma occupied my previous room. There seems to be no extra room to sleep in, except for a storage room for junk upstairs."
Lin Huayin didn't expect that Xiao Zheng's first thought was to consider where to live. This made her somewhat conflicted mood relieved. She said lightly, "We'll discuss this issue after Ma Choi Jun leaves."
"Then I'll continue to sleep in your room now?" Xiao Zheng asked with a bit of honor.
Lin Huayin answered Xiao Zheng's doubts with silence.
The conversation that should have come to an end was not over. Xiao Zheng, who had obtained Lin Huayin's approval, did not lie down again. He paused, his eyes were extremely obscure, and his expression was extremely eager. He asked, "Boss Lin. I can see that you are very regretful about not being pregnant, and so am I. In that case, why don't we wait for your period to leave before we officially start the fertility plan? In fact, my body is still very good. I don't have any unspeakable diseases. If you don't believe me, I'll go to the hospital tomorrow for a comprehensive physical examination. Hey, Boss Lin, what are you going to do? If you have something to say, let's talk about it. If we can't do business, there's still benevolence and righteousness. There's really no need to use a knife — "
