She looked at those women. She thought that was the opportunity to insult Wu Lina again and in the meanwhile show Yang Xinyu what he had missed in his life. She said, "Do you know Yang Xinyu that I was pregnant with your baby."
The woman again started talking.
"Oh God! That brat is so heartless. He left her when she was pregnant. And that witch wife! How could she go after a man who was already involved with Ying Yue? Poor Ying Yue, she was pregnant. Tsk tsk."
"Really, Ying Yue must have undergone so much emotional breakdown."
"Well, in my eyes Wu Lina would always be the second woman. She has literally broken a healthy relationship apart."
Wu Lina felt miserable. If only she could slap those women out there. But she knew that Ying Yue was playing games, and if she rebutted, it will become a news item. So she chose to stay quiet. She ignored their comments and pulled Yang Xinyu's hand to go away from that toxic environment as soon as possible.
But Yang Xinyu had stopped in his tracks, his hands loosened on Wu Lina's wrist. He gaped at her, as he became anxious.
"But I had to an abortion done after we broke up," continued Ying Yue without batting an eye. She knew he would get pained.
The women again broke into a whisper of gossip.
"Tsk, tsk. Poor Ying Yue. So unfortunate to have an abortion done."
"Yes, that too because of this lady," said another one giving a pointy look to Wu Lina.
Wu Lina held Yang Xinyu's hand firmly as she understood that he was pained beyond comprehension. She narrowed her eyes and said, "Ying Yue, whose baby are you carrying now?"
"Yan Xiaojun's. You see both of us are together again," replied Ying Yue enjoying the look on Yang Xinyu's face.
"Where is he? How come you are alone for the appointment?" said Wu Lina again trying to divert her attention from Yang Xinyu.
Yang Xinyu's c.h.e.s.t tightened. He felt he would collapse at Ying Yue's revelation. He didn't know that she was pregnant otherwise he would have brought hell and earth together to bring that child in the world. 'How could she kill my child? What kind of a vicious woman was she?' Yang Xinyu felt repulsive for falling in love with the woman in front of him. Then his gaze fell on Wu Lina, his true love and he felt that he had to protect her from everyone around. He became panicky.
Wu Lina saw sweat beads on his forehead and immediately came to stand in front of him. She took his arms and circled it around her stomach, reassuring him that he should look forward to their babies. She stroked his hand tenderly and giving a pointy look to Ying Yue she said, "Well, good luck to you. We have to leave."
Wu Lina caught Yang Xinyu's hand and pulled him away from that poisonous atmosphere. Just as they were leaving a nurse came out running towards their direction.
"Ms. Yue, Ms Yue," she called Ying Yue and stopped in front of her panting with her hands on her stomach. She had some papers in her hand and a CD.
Ying Yue smiled and gave a known look to her, "What happened sister?" and then she looked at Wu Lina.
"Your reports are in," said the nurse still panting, handing the papers and the CD to her.
"Oh! Thank you," replied Ying Yue. She started reading her reports.
"I am sorry but you are not pregnant," said the nurse with a sad expression.
"What?" Ying Yue looked at the nurse as if she had grown three heads.
"Ms. Yue, it's written in the reports," said the nurse nodding her head.
The moment the women around them heard it, they started laughing.
Ying Yue was embarrassed. "There must be some mistake, you fool," she reprimanded the nurse.
"What do mean miss? I am not the one who tested you. I just got these reports for you out of curtsey because you forgot to collect them," said the nurse leaving her and shaking her head. She left muttering, "Its better not to be so courteous these days."
Ying Yue was so discomfited by the nurse's disclosure that she trotted out of there saying, "There's a mistake…"
Wu Lina, who was watching the drama happening in front of her, smirked and pulled Yang Xinyu out of there. She felt like laughing at that woman's stupidity but she had to save Yang Xinyu from his anxiety first. So she held his hand tightly and dragged him out.
Once they were in the car, she became worried about him as he was still anxious and didn't speak a word till they reached home. Wu Lina had held his hand firmly all the while.
Inside the bungalow, Wu Lina pulled him to the bedroom and made him lie there comfortably. Then she went out to order lotus tea to Mrs. Jiao.
She went back and sat next to him as he was looking out in blank space. She curled her hands around him and rested her head on his c.h.e.s.t. A while later she looked at him again and cupping his face in her hands she said, "Xinyu, look at me."
"How many babies do you want?"
"She killed my child, Lina," said Yang Xinyu in a pained voice without paying heed to her question. "That would have been my first-born."
Wu Lina felt as if Yang Xinyu still had feelings for Ying Yue. Her eyes became misty. "Do you still love her?" she asked hoarsely, as her emotions choked her and her hands fell to her sides.
Yang Xinyu was startled at her question and said quickly, "No Lina, I hate her!"
But tears had begun to fall from her eyes, "Then why are you only thinking about her? What about our future?"
Yang Xinyu was jerked back to the present, and he realized his mistake. "I am sorry baby. Please don't cry. It is not good for a pregnant woman. I will do fifty push-ups as a punishment."
