Chapter 1328 Yunrui Enchanting: Pregnant with the First Man
Qi Ruixiang is more and more keen on letting Yang Xiaotang take the initiative. Looking at her when she is in control of the overall situation and the fire in her eyes, he can always find an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.
Yang Xiaotang saw through it but didn't say anything. She tried her best to cooperate with him and used her gentleness and initiative to melt the ice in his heart bit by bit.
Late one night, after the two of them had spent time together, Yang Xiaotang leaned against Qi Ruixiang's chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, her fingers gently stroking his skin. "You..." She opened her mouth, wanting to ask why he kept looking for her, but ultimately swallowed the words back.
Qi Ruixiang seemed to sense her hesitation, tightening his arms and hugging her tighter, resting his chin on the top of her head, and said in a tired but unusually gentle voice: "Go to sleep."
Yang Xiaotang didn't ask any more questions, but just closed her eyes and buried her face deeper.
She knew that this warmth might not last long, and might be broken by reality one day. But at least for now, she wanted to grasp this rare happiness and be a fool in Qi Ruixiang's arms without thinking.
The moonlight outside the window shines through the gap in the curtains and falls on the two people sleeping in each other's arms, bringing a hint of gentle warmth.
The room was completely silent, with only the sound of each other's steady breathing interweaving into a sweet melody in the night, temporarily covering up all the contradictions and entanglements...
Yang Xiaotang stood in the bathroom, holding a pregnancy test stick. The coldness of her fingertips spread through her nerves. Two clear red lines exploded in her mind like two thunderclaps, making it difficult for her to even breathe.
The sunlight from outside the window shone through the glass and fell on the pregnancy test stick, but it could not warm her cold fingertips.
She and Qi Ruixiang had clearly taken measures.
After each session, he would handle everything personally, even watching her take birth control pills. How could she... get pregnant?
This thought was like a poisonous needle, piercing her heart. She thought of the nights of revelry these past few days, the despair in his eyes when he held her, the tenderness he occasionally showed - all of this had unconsciously led her into a false illusion!
When Qi Ruixiang came back, Yang Xiaotang was sitting on the sofa in a daze. She had hidden the pregnancy test stick under the pillow behind her, and her fingertips were white from the force.
When she heard the door open, she stood up suddenly, her heart beating wildly as if it was going to break her ribs.
"What's wrong?" Qi Ruixiang took off his suit jacket and threw it on the sofa. There was a hint of fatigue in his tone, but he still walked towards her habitually, wanting to hug her as usual.
Yang Xiaotang subconsciously took a step back, avoiding his touch. This action made Qi Ruixiang pause. He frowned, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes: "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"No." Yang Xiaotang's voice trembled. She took a deep breath, took out the pregnancy test stick from under the pillow, and handed it to him, "Qi Ruixiang, I... am pregnant."
The air froze in an instant. Qi Ruixiang's gaze fell on the two red lines, his pupils suddenly constricting, and the fatigue on his face was instantly replaced by shock. He snatched the pregnancy test stick and checked it repeatedly, his fingers trembling slightly from the effort.
"Impossible." His voice was hoarse as if it had been rubbed with sandpaper. "We took precautions every time, and you also took the medicine. How could you get pregnant?"
These words stabbed Yang Xiaotang's heart like a blunt knife. She looked at the suspicion in Qi Ruixiang's eyes and saw him repeatedly checking the pregnancy test stick. Suddenly, she found it ridiculous.
"Does taking precautions mean I won't get pregnant? Qi Ruixiang, what do you take me for? Would I lie to you about something like this?"
"That's not what I meant." Qi Ruixiang frowned even tighter. He threw the pregnancy test stick on the coffee table, his voice filled with suppressed irritation. "I just think it's impossible. I didn't take any precautions and I didn't get pregnant. How can I be with you..."
He didn't say anything else, but Yang Xiaotang heard it clearly.
It turned out that in his heart, she was not even qualified to be compared with Gu Yunxi. It was normal for Gu Yunxi not to be pregnant, but her pregnancy was abnormal and suspicious.
"So in your eyes, my pregnancy is a joke, and I orchestrated this?" Yang Xiaotang's voice suddenly rose, tears welling up uncontrollably. "Qi Ruixiang, ask yourself honestly, who has been by your side these days? Who has supported you when you needed them? Who has given you everything they have?"
Her questions hit Qi Ruixiang's heart like hail.
He looked at Yang Xiaotang with tears streaming down her face and the despair in her eyes, and suddenly a panic surged in his heart.
But the words "I've been with Gu Yunxi for so long and I'm still not pregnant" had already been spoken, and like spilled water, it could never be taken back.
"I didn't say you were scheming me." Qi Ruixiang's voice softened. He reached out to hug her, but was pushed away harshly by Yang Xiaotang.
"Don't touch me!" Yang Xiaotang's tears fell even harder. She pointed at her chest, her voice filled with deep grievance. "You're my first man! I gave you my most precious things. After all, these days, it's been a consensual relationship between adults. Do you have a conscience for saying such things?!"
"The first one..." Qi Ruixiang's movements suddenly froze, his pupils filled with disbelief.
He looked at Yang Xiaotang's red eyes and her stubbornly pursed lips, and suddenly remembered the scene when they first made love - her awkwardness, her trembling, her suppressed sobs in his ears, and the way she hugged him tightly afterwards, as if grabbing a life-saving straw.
Those details that he had overlooked, like a puzzle, were now pieced together in his mind. He had always thought that Yang Xiaotang, like Gu Yunxi, was indifferent to love, and even thought that she approached him actively just to get revenge on Gu Yunxi.
But he never thought that this woman who always had a sharp look in her eyes and took the initiative to control everything would actually give him her first time.
Qi Ruixiang's heart felt like it was being clenched by an invisible hand, the pain so severe that he could barely breathe. He thought back to his actions over the past few days, how he had used her as a tool for venting his anger, how he had indulged her when she took the initiative, even how he had suspected her pregnancy was a setup—all these thoughts now became piercing shards of glass, piercing him to pieces.
He had always thought he was open-minded about relationships, even thinking the so-called "first time" was nothing more than feudal dregs. But when he realized that Yang Xiaotang had given him the most precious thing, and he had trampled on it like this, a strong sense of guilt and panic washed over him, leaving him at a loss.
"Xiaotang, I..." He opened his mouth, his voice trembling more than ever before, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, I just..."
"Just what? Just think I'm unworthy? Just think I'm not as good as Gu Yunxi?" Yang Xiaotang interrupted him, tears falling like beads from a broken string. "Qi Ruixiang, I know I'm a substitute. I know you still have Gu Yunxi in your heart. I even know you're looking for me just to vent. But I didn't expect that you wouldn't even give me the most basic respect!"
She turned around and walked quickly to the bedroom, shutting out Qi Ruixiang's apology and panic.
The moment the bedroom door was slammed shut, Yang Xiaotang leaned against the door panel, finally couldn't help but squat down and burst into tears.
She recalled the excitement she felt when she first saw Qi Ruixiang, the night when she mustered up the courage to forcefully kiss him, and her cautious attempts to please him these past few days—it turned out that all of this was just a joke of her wishful thinking.
In the living room, Qi Ruixiang was still standing there, holding the pregnancy test stick in his hand, the temperature of his fingertips almost crushing it.
He looked at the tightly closed bedroom door and listened to the suppressed crying coming from inside. His heart ached as if it was being cut by a knife.
He always thought he was a calm and rational person, but when faced with Yang Xiaotang's tears and the words "You are my first man", all his rationality came to nothing.
He recalled how casual he was when he was with Gu Yunxi, and how he had never cared about Gu Yunxi's past, but when he found out that it was Yang Xiaotang's virginity, he developed a strong possessiveness and sense of guilt - it turned out that deep down, he still cared about these things.
