As soon as Jing Yu got out of the car, Qi Jinnian came out to greet him with an extremely complicated expression.
"Fish."
"What's wrong?" Jing Yu glanced at Qi Jinnian's expression and turned to get the gift from the car. The driver had already carried the gift in.
Qi Jinnian whispered in Jingyu's ear: "Liang Shengyi is back!"
Jing Yu nodded calmly, "I know."
"But he's at my house right now!" Qi Jinnian lowered his voice, "Inside. Did he know you would come to my place today?"
Jing Yu was not surprised. It seemed that Liang Shengyi really had something important to discuss with him.
"Let's go in first, it's too cold outside." Qi Jinnian said, "Why do you have to bring so many things?"
"I didn't prepare these," Jing Yu said frankly, and then he spoke briefly to the bodyguards and asked them to wait in the car.
Qi Jinnian smiled ambiguously, "That's the Vice President, right? It turns out he's so thoughtful and considerate of things like this."
She bumped into Jingyu's shoulder and said, "Didn't you tell me last time that you were going to have a baby? Are you planning on having a baby now?"
As he said this, his gaze fell on Jing Yu's flat belly.
Jing Yu said nothing, just shook his head silently.
Qi Jinnian knew Jingyu best, and her expression was completely different from the one when she first mentioned Vice President Yu. In the past, even through the phone, she could clearly feel her brightness and joy—that was how a person in love should be.
At this moment, the woman standing next to him looked much gloomier, not as energetic as before.
"What's wrong?" Qi Jinnian asked carefully, "Did you have a fight?"
Jing Yu shook his head again. They didn’t really have a quarrel because they didn’t say anything.
"Forget it. Today is New Year's Day. Let's not talk about unhappy things. Let's go inside first." Qi Jinnian grabbed Jing Yu's hand and walked inside.
Only a few steps away, she would see that man again—her former fiancé. Jing Yu felt that she was a heartless person after all, and there was not even a ripple left in her heart.
When they entered, Liang Shengyi was sitting in the living room of the Qi family. Because she was Jingyu's former fiancé, although Qi's parents had never seen him before, they had heard of him and warmly entertained her.
Seeing Jingyu coming in, everyone stood up.
Liang Shengyi's gaze was always fixed on Jing Yu, burning yet restrained, ardent yet forbearing.
Jingyu first presented the gifts one by one and politely greeted Qi's parents. Qi's mother went to wash the fruits and came over. Qi's father asked Jingyu to sit down. The scene was very lively.
"Yu'er..." Liang Shengyi finally couldn't help but called out softly. His voice was already hoarse as soon as it came out.
Jing Yu's gaze then fell on him, and he saw that his eyes, which were filled with undercurrents, had turned slightly red.
"Long time no see." Jing Yu nodded at him lightly, her eyes meeting his. She could clearly see the complex emotions in his eyes.
Qi Jinnian glanced at the two people, took Jingyu's arm and said, "Let's go, let's go to the small hall to talk. Old Qi, let's go to the small hall."
"Well, go ahead." Father Qi nodded.
Qi Jinnian pulled Jingyu into the small hall, and Liang Shengyi followed them in. Qi Jinnian said, "There are only two of you here, so just chat. I'll go out and make tea for you."
Jing Yu said “hmm”.
Qi Jinnian didn't like Liang Shengyi because of his last escape. Before leaving, he glared at him with a warning, "Don't even think about bullying Yu'er again! Yu'er, if anything happens later, call me! I'll be outside."
Qi Jinnian said this and went out after closing the door.
Outside, Father Qi stretched his neck to look. Qi Jinnian jumped over and said, "Old Qi, what are you looking at?"
"Didn't you say that Miss Jing is the Vice President's girlfriend? You are trying to match her up with another man. Aren't you just looking for trouble?"
"Your eyesight is too bad! How can you tell that I am bringing them together?" Qi Jinnian said, "I can tell from one look that Liang Shengyi has something to say to Yu'er. I know Yu'er's temper. If she didn't want to talk to him, she would have hinted to me a long time ago. But, she hinted to me today that she wants to talk to him. I don't care whose girlfriend she is. It's her freedom to be with whomever she wants. The vice president is no exception!"
"You are a man of integrity."
Qi Jinnian pulled his father's arm and said, "Old Qi, please don't stay here and watch."
Qi's father was dragged to the hall by Qi Jinnian.

the other side.
Yu Zeyao had just finished meeting with the Chief Prosecutor when Zhuang Yan came over with his cell phone and whispered, "Sir, it's a call from the hospital."
"Did you say anything?"
"Just say it's about Miss Jing."
Yu Zeyao didn't ask any more questions. He answered the phone and walked into the office with heavy steps.
"What's the matter?" He closed the door and sat behind his desk, looking through the bulletproof glass window at the busy traffic outside the palace.
"Sir, Miss Jing took medicine from me today."
"What medicine?"
"It's a few birth control pills."
Contraceptive medicine!
Yu Zeyao felt a chill in his heart and his breathing became heavier.
My chest felt like it was hit hard and my heart was shattered.
This may be the last chance...
This was his last chance to grab her and keep her with a legitimate reason...
She's so smart, she can feel it!
But why was she unwilling to give him or them even one last chance? !
Yu Zeyao sat there in a daze, looking out the window, his gaze gradually dimming.
At that moment, his chest felt hollowed out. He hung up the phone heavily.
———
This way.
Jing Yu and Liang Shengyi were the only two people left in the small hall.
Liang Shengyi looked at her deeply, and finally felt unable to control his emotions. He took a step forward and hugged her tightly in his arms.
"Fish, I think about you every day!"
His words were trembling with excitement, and they didn't sound like lies. However, Jing Yu was unmoved. He put his soft hand on his arm and calmly took his hand away, "Don't you have something to tell me? Let's talk."
"Yes, yes, I have something to tell you." Liang Shengyi put his hand down, his eyes fixed on her face, so deep, so heavy. It seemed that he wanted to engrave her whole person deeply in his memory.
He held her hand tightly, not letting go, "Yu'er, are you really together with Yu Zeyao?"
Jing Yu did not hide it, "Yes."
This short word made Liang Shengyi feel a pain in his chest, and he tightened his grip on her hand.
"How far have you progressed?"
Jing Yu's hand was hurt by being grabbed, and he frowned slightly, "Let me go first."
"Tell me, how far have you guys progressed!" Liang Shengyi didn't let go, and his voice became a little harsher. He stared at her, as if he had noticed something, his eyes darkened, and he raised his hand and began to pull at her clothes.
