Daddy Always Gets Jealous

She knew exactly what was going on—she wasn’t that stupid!

After tidying up the office, she went straight back to her residence.

Lying in bed, she thought about how a year ago, she had sent out so many resumes in waves, yet not a single company would hire her because Gu Jizhou had made it clear to them not to employ her.

She had finally found a job, only to discover that her direct superior was Gu Yunqing, Gu Jizhou’s aunt!

She had planned to give up, but just then Nuannuan had started college, and her uncle’s family was not well-off. She couldn’t keep being a burden to her uncle, so in the end, she went to the company, only to resign eventually!

After lying down for a while, she felt sleepy and unknowingly drifted off to sleep.

In a daze, she found herself lying in a hospital bed, in the empty white ward, wearing a faded blue patient’s gown, with the smell of formalin filling every corner of the room, making it hard to breathe.

Waking from the coma, she called out weakly, ”Nurse, nurse, where is my child?”

The nurse standing beside the bed coldly responded, ”The child didn’t make it.”

”No! That can’t be! My child!”—

Che Huan jolted awake to find her hands tightly clutching the blanket, sweaty palms and all, and quickly sat up, taking a deep breath.

In the dream, the day of the birth, every bit of pain was so vivid. It had been a whole four years, yet it felt like it was only yesterday, or even just a moment ago...

Her child, whom she hadn’t even had the chance to see, was gone just like that.

Thinking of this, a surge of pain, as if embedded in her bones, lingered on and on!

It was from that day on that she harbored hatred for Gu Jizhou!

All the previous prenatal checkups were fine—how could the child suddenly be gone? It had to be him!

He had suggested multiple times to have an abortion; he didn’t want that child.

At first, she didn’t understand, but later she found out that he wasn’t the one that night, the child wasn’t Gu Jizhou’s either, but even so, he didn’t have the right to be so cruel!

The cruel truth was that he kept saying it was him that night!

Thinking about it made Che Huan bury her fingers into her hair in frustration, rubbing them irritably. If it hadn’t been for Gu Yunqing mentioning the child today, she wouldn’t have remembered the child she had deliberately forgotten, and she wouldn’t have dreamt of that day...

Without her realizing it, her hands involuntarily caressed her abdomen, and as she looked down with concentration, she couldn’t help but remember how the baby used to move gently inside her.

Her fingers lightly traced over her stomach, the baby moving gently along with her touch...

Sometimes, when she was asleep at night, the baby would turn over so forcefully that it woke her up.

She didn’t dare to move, just lying there quietly, feeling the baby’s presence, humming softly to the baby.

Back then, her heart was always filled with warmth, an indescribable happiness.

But now, stroking her belly like before, there was no longer any movement or response.

She closed her eyes, and her eyes involuntarily dampened.

Suddenly hearing a knock at the door, she quickly wiped away her tears and went to open it in her slippers.

No sooner had she opened the door than something large and looming charged at her, tumbling her to the ground.

With a loud ”thud,” her head slammed hard against the floor, stars sparking before her eyes. She felt a large, fluffy object land in her arms, and, frightened, she let out a scream and pushed it away with all her might.

The large bundle was pushed aside, whimpering pitifully, its tail stretching out and gently brushing over her hair, and its eyes looking at Che Huan with innocent bewilderment.
