CH 30

In the moment when Shen Tiantian nodded, Shan Yi smiled sweetly. Her neat white teeth seemed to shine in the darkness.

‘It’s blinding.’ Shen Tiantian muttered in her heart and quickly looked away. From the corner of her eye, she caught sight of the car parked at the entrance. Just as she was about to ask someone to park the car properly, Shan Yi spoke up first, “I’ll park the car first.” 

“Okay…” Shen Tiantian secretly stuck out her tongue.

Shan Yi walked past her, just in time to see her playful tongue-sticking expression, and couldn’t help but raise her hand to pinch her chubby face.

Shen Tiantian instinctively dodged, “What are you doing?”

Her mouth hadn’t even fully recovered, and she wanted to tease her.

Shan Yi chuckled, “You’re so adorable, I want to pinch you.”

Shen Tiantian pursed her lips. She didn’t want her girlfriend to compliment her on being cute. Couldn’t she compliment her on being beautiful instead?

“Accompany me to park the car.” As she said that, Shan Yi had already grabbed her hand and pulled her towards the car, opening the door and stuffing her inside.

Shen Tiantian: …

Shan Yi drove the car into the residential area and finally managed to find an available parking space at the very end, after a lot of effort.

Shen Tiantian got out of the car first and walked ahead by herself. Shan Yi quickly caught up and once again held her hand. Shan Yi seemed to know that she might retract her hand, so she held it tightly.

Back at home, Shen Tiantian placed her bag down, feeling somewhat exhausted. She collapsed on the sofa, not treating Shan Yi as a guest at all, and didn’t even pour her a glass of water.

Shan Yi also didn’t treat herself as a guest. She put down her things and went straight to the kitchen to boil water with the kettle.

She remembered that Shen Tiantian had been preferring to drink hot water these days.

“Do we have any tea or something similar at home?” Shan Yi asked as she went out.

Shen Tiantian paused for a moment, “No.”

Due to her pregnancy, she had given away everything in the house that contained coffee or caffeine. The drinks in the refrigerator had hardly been touched either. Occasionally, when she wanted to drink something flavored, she would have yogurt.

“Shall I accompany you to buy some things tomorrow?” Shan Yi sat down beside her while the water was not yet boiling.

Tomorrow was Saturday, and she happened to have nothing to do.

“What do we need to buy?” Shen Tiantian didn’t move, only shifting her gaze.

“Just some food to add to the house, in case you get hungry at midnight.”

Shen Tiantian: …

She wasn’t a child. If she really wanted to eat something, she would naturally buy it. However, the thought that Shan Yi was showing concern for her couldn’t help but bring a sweet feeling to her heart.

“But I don’t really want to buy anything.” Shen Tiantian remembered that Kang Jiaya had bought her a box of mulberries last week, saying that they were good for her and the baby because she had severe morning sickness.

But she actually didn’t really like eating mulberries. However, for the sake of the baby, she had eaten some, and there was still half a box in the refrigerator.

“Then just think of it as accompanying me for a stroll?” Shan Yi said helplessly, “It’s not good to stay at home all day.”

Shen Tiantian actually felt it was quite nice because she could sleep as much as she wanted.

But she didn’t dare to say that out loud.

“Fine,” Shen Tiantian lazily agreed.

Right now, she just wanted to sleep, but Shan Yi was still here. She couldn’t let what happened last time repeat itself. Fortunately, she dozed off in the car this time, or else she probably wouldn’t be able to hold on now.

She didn’t even know how she made it back to her room. Anyway, when she woke up in the early morning, she was in bed, and Shan Yi had already left.

Shan Yi nodded in satisfaction, seeing that it was about time, and got up to go to the kitchen.

She took out two cups from the cabinet, poured water into them, and brought them out. She placed one cup on the table and handed the other cup to Shen Tiantian, saying, “Here, have a sip of water.”

Only then did Shen Tiantian react and take the water from her hand.

She took a few small sips, blowing on the just-boiled water before drinking.

After setting down the cup, Shen Tiantian suddenly remembered Shan Yi’s tongue and turned her head to ask, “Is your tongue… still hurting?”

Shan Yi took a sip of water and the wound from being bitten stung a little. She chuckled helplessly and said, “You bit too hard.”

Shen Tiantian retorted, “I didn’t know you would kiss me.”

Anyone would be startled by the sight of a strange dark figure when suddenly opening their eyes, right?!

Shan Yi couldn’t drink hot water, so she took out a bottle of frosty mineral water from the refrigerator and took a sip.

She sat back down and tilted her head, saying, “Don’t you feel sorry for me?”

Shen Tiantian nodded honestly because otherwise, how could she have let Shan Yi get close?

“Give me a kiss, and I’ll be fine.” Shan Yi smiled and turned Shen Tiantian’s face towards her, speaking seriously.

“You…” Shen Tiantian couldn’t break free and glared at her in embarrassment.

They were too close.

It was the first time she had seen Shan Yi at such a distance. Every time they kissed, their breaths intertwined in a passionate embrace. She never had the focus to seriously look at her.

She noticed that Shan Yi’s skin was really good, with hardly any visible pores. Her fair skin was free of blemishes, clean and refreshing, pleasing to the eye from any distance.

Shan Yi knew that it was too difficult for Shen Tiantian to take the initiative to kiss her, so she took the initiative instead. Shen Tiantian didn’t struggle either, and their soft lips pressed together for a while. Both of them were panting for breath before reluctantly separating.

Shen Tiantian blushed and asked, “Is it better now?”

Shan Yi was momentarily stunned, then suddenly laughed and nodded, saying, “Yes, it’s better now. Our Tiantian is amazing.”

“Go away.” Shen Tiantian said helplessly, laughing and scolding.

Shan Yi released her hand with a smile, then looked down at her wristwatch. She reminded Shen Tiantian, “It’s a bit cold today, so take a shower early.”

Shen Tiantian glanced at her phone and saw that it was already 11 o’clock.

Normally, at this time, she would have already gone to bed. She looked at Shan Yi and asked, “And what about you?”

“Do you want to let me stay?” Shan Yi countered.

Shen Tiantian couldn’t answer right away.

Now that she knew Shan Yi was the mother of the baby in her belly, Shen Tiantian inexplicably felt less nervous than before.

After all, they had done everything together, and even caused a life to come into existence.

But she didn’t know how to ask Shan Yi to stay. It was raining outside, and it would be inconsiderate to chase her away. After all, they were still lovers. But if she let her stay, it would seem too indiscreet.

“Okay, just kidding.” Shan Yi saw her hesitation and didn’t force the issue. “I’ll go back first.”

As she spoke, Shan Yi had already stood up, picked up the wallet on the table, and said to Shen Tiantian, “I’ll come to pick you up tomorrow.”

Shen Tiantian looked up at her, and her brain reacted first.

She grabbed Shan Yi’s hand.

Shan Yi paused and turned to look at her. “Don’t want me to leave?”

Shen Tiantian blushed, clumsily explaining, “It’s raining outside, and it’s dangerous to drive.”

Moreover, Shan Yi would be coming to pick her up tomorrow. Although it wasn’t very far, she still worried that Shan Yi would get tired from all the back and forth walking.

Since she wanted to stay here, then… she should stay.

Shen Tiantian shyly said, “If you don’t mind, you can stay.”

Shan Yi smiled, “I don’t mind at all.”

Shen Tiantian quickly let go of her hand and ran into the room, saying, “I’m going to take a shower.”

Shan Yi watched her figure and a tender expression flashed in her eyes. She sat back down and picked up her phone, glancing at it.

Shan Xu sent her a message asking if she wanted to come back for dinner, but she ignored it.

Shen Tiantian covered her face, which was about to catch fire, in disbelief as she looked at herself in the mirror. She made the CEO stay?! She knew what that meant. If Shan Yi wanted to do anything with her at night, it was definitely not possible. She was pregnant!

Ah, what was she thinking?!

They had already “broken up,” and she was just concerned about the danger of driving in the rain. After all, Shan Yi was the other mother of her child, so she had to care for the baby.

Yes, that’s it.

But who was she kidding? She wanted Shan Yi to stay.

She forcefully slapped her face, warning herself not to think randomly anymore, or she wouldn’t know how to face Shan Yi later.

She took a deep breath and exhaled heavily, taking off her clothes one by one and throwing them into the laundry basket. Then she turned on the shower head and let the water pour over her.

She hummed a joyful song, but only realized after she finished washing that she had forgotten to bring her pajamas into the bathroom.

Shen Tiantian was almost petrified. She stayed still for a few seconds, then suddenly let out a scream.

“Ah!!!”

Shen Tiantian’s scream echoed in the room, and Shan Yi’s heart tightened. Without thinking, she quickly rushed into the room and forcefully tapped on the bathroom door. “Tiantian? What happened? Open the door quickly.”

“No… I’m fine,” Shen Tiantian stammered, along with a powerful sneeze.

“You open the door first.” Shan Yi didn’t believe it. That scream just now didn’t sound like nothing happened.

Shen Tiantian: …

How should she explain this?!

Would the CEO think that she was intentionally seducing her?

But she really wasn’t…

“I’m really fine…” Shen Tiantian said with a bitter smile. After hesitating for a moment, she pressed against the door and said, “I forgot to bring my pajamas in. Can you help me get them, please?”

It wasn’t the first time she had forgotten to bring her pajamas, but usually she lived alone, so it wasn’t a big deal to go out naked. But today, Shan Yi was still here, and she remembered that the room door wasn’t closed properly. If she just ran out, she would definitely be seen.

Shan Yi’s knocking motion paused for a moment, and she chuckled, saying, “Where are they?”

“On my bed, the light green set.”

Shan Yi tilted her head and looked towards the bed. Sure enough, she saw a light green set of pajamas at the foot of the bed. She walked over, picked it up, and sniffed it like a pervert. The faint scent of laundry detergent pleasantly filled her nostrils.

Satisfied, she returned to the entrance of the bathroom and gently knocked.

With a click, Shen Tiantian opened the door slightly, revealing a pair of round, big eyes peering out. A few strands of wet hair, not covered by the steam, stuck to her forehead. Perhaps due to the steam, Shen Tiantian’s cheeks were rosy, and a few water droplets formed on her plump nose. She hid her mouth and body behind the door, so only her fair shoulders could be vaguely seen.

Shan Yi couldn’t help but imagine the hidden scenery, and her cheeks blushed uncomfortably.

Shen Tiantian stretched out her delicate, white hand and said, “It’s cold! Quickly give me the clothes.”

Upon hearing Shen Tiantian say she was cold, Shan Yi immediately handed her the clothes and couldn’t help but tease, “You little scatterbrain.”

In response, there was a soft closing sound of the door.

Shan Yi chuckled and shook her head, then turned to take a look around Shen Tiantian’s room.

Although it wasn’t her first time visiting Shen Tiantian’s home, it was the first time she entered her room. The room was mostly decorated in shades of green, with the beddings, pillows, and bed sheets all in three different shades of green. On top of a square cabinet that was as tall as the bed, there was a half-filled cup of water and several white medicine bottles of various sizes.

Was Tiantian sick?!

Shan Yi couldn’t suppress her worry and walked over, furrowing her brows.

There was also a folded A4 paper on the table with deep creases. A hint of confusion flashed in Shan Yi’s eyes as she picked it up and read it.

Name: Shen Tiantian

Gender: Female

Age: 24

Department: Gynecology

Clinical Diagnosis: Positive

Below were two ultrasound images, showing a peanut-sized object nestled inside.

Shan Yi remained calm, but her fingertips trembled slightly.

She had guessed it, but she didn’t want to believe it. Now, looking at the evidence, she didn’t know how to describe her feelings.

Was she happy?

There was no need for further explanation; she was simply ecstatic.

She touched the photo on top of the paper and looked at the medicine bottle, thinking of picking it up to take a look. But the sound of the door opening made her freeze.

Shen Tiantian came out, drying her hair, and when she saw Shan Yi still in the room, she looked a bit puzzled.

Shan Yi had her back turned, seemingly holding something in her hand. Shen Tiantian’s brain froze for a moment, but then she quickly realized what it was and rushed over.
