Chapter 2096 - We Won’t Be Able to Go Back to Our Normal Lives

Ou Xiaoxiao could not grasp the situation so she looked up at her parents.

Yu Lili’s eyes had turned red but she still wore a smile on her face.

On the other hand, Ou Ming’s expression had softened slightly, compared to before.

Ou Xiaoxiao could not understand what was happening so she turned her head back.

The weight was gradually lifted off Shen Zhilie’s chest.

This was great.

It would be best if Ye Qianqian could put the past behind her.

Her pregnancy was sudden and unexpected. While the current circumstances were regrettable, nobody could have foreseen this.

Shen Zhilie suddenly recalled how his grandmother had mentioned that she would experience an inexorable misfortune at the age of 28.

Perhaps this was the supposed misfortune.

However, it was a good thing to have experienced it already. It was better than having to constantly worry about when the misfortune would befall upon them.

Shen Zhilie retracted his gaze and, all of a sudden, his cellphone began to ring.

He held up his phone and saw that it was a call from his grandmother.

Shen Zhilie immediately answered the call without any qualms. “Grandmother,” he greeted.

“Zhilie,” Old Mrs. Shen acknowledged, sounding as if she had weathered the vicissitudes of life. “Did something happen to Qianqian today?” she asked.

Shen Zhilie was stunned and he subconsciously glanced at Ye Qianqian.

Ye Qianqian also looked back at him. She seemed to have roughly guessed the situation.

“Yes,” Shen Zhilie replied. “How did you know?” he asked.

Old Mrs. Shen sighed softly and said, “It’s fate.”

Shen Zhilie fell silent when he heard this.

As Ye Qianqian watched him, she asked, “What did Grandmother say?”

Shen Zhilie did not answer her and merely answered his grandmother over the phone instead, “Yes.”

“So what happened to Qianqian?” Old Mrs. Shen asked relentlessly. “I’m becoming more and more useless. I only know that something had happened to Qianqian after Dongfang told me about it. Sigh...” she said.

“There was a bit of an incident. I’ll tell you more about it later on. You should rest early. Goodbye, Grandmother,” said Shen Zhilie.

“Zhilie...” Old Mrs. Shen sounded as if she wanted to say something more.

However, Shen Zhilie had already hung up before she could complete her sentence.

Ye Qianqian looked at him and asked, “Does Grandmother know about it already?”

“No,” Shen Zhilie replied as he looked back at her. “She knows that something had happened to you, but she does not know what,” he said.

Ye Qianqian lowered her head. “I see,” she replied.

“Are you hungry? What do you want to eat? I’ll get it for you,” Ou Ming asked as he looked them. “After all, you’re the Godmother of my daughter. I can’t treat you shabbily,” he said.

Ye Qianqian’s lips curled up into a smile and she replied, “Thanks, but I don’t have much of an appetite right now.”

“Let’s head home first,” suggested Yu Lili. “Qianqian needs to rest. Let’s not stay here and continue to bother her,” she said.

“Yes,” Ou Ming agreed. “You’re right. Qianqian’s in pretty bad shape. We should head back first and visit her again tomorrow,” he said.

“Right,” answered Yu Lili.

“Old Shen, we’ll make a move first then,” said Ou Ming as he stepped forward to carry his daughter. “Give us a call if you need anything,” he said.

“Sure,” replied Shen Zhilie.

...

Ou Ming and Yu Lili finally left and Ye Qianqian felt extremely drained.

Shen Zhilie walked over and hugged her gently before he said, “You should catch some sleep.”

“Alright,” Ye Qianqian replied as she closed her eyes and tried to sleep while being wrapped in his arms.

But shortly after, with her eyes closed, she called out to him, “Dear.”

“Yes?” Shen Zhilie replied.

Tears trickled down Ye Qianqian’s cheeks and she asked, “What if... What if I can’t have a baby anymore in the future?” as her voice quivered.

“Don’t think too much,” Shen Zhilie chided her with a frown on his face. “We won’t be able to go back to our normal lives if you let your imagination run wild.”

Ye Qianqian sniffled and wiped her face before she turned her head to the side.

Shen Zhilie let out a faint sigh and immediately after that, he received another call from a family member.

It was Shen Luo’an.

When Shen Zhilie answered the call, he could only hear the sound of the wind on the other end of the line.

Shen Zhilie’s expression turned serious. “Hello,” he greeted.

Shen Luo’an was driving and has yet to reach home.

He was on a joyride with Shen Manting at that very moment and was in high spirits.
