When I woke up, it was already 11 in the morning.

As Wang Dahai sat up in bed, Xu Xixi was still asleep.

Thinking back to last night's wildness, Wang Dahai was a bit astounded.

This woman was even crazier than Yan Jing; it was only because he was in good shape that he could handle it—if it were another man, they wouldn't have been able to withstand it.

He grabbed his phone and scrolled through it while sitting on the toilet, only to find a message from Zhang Jie that morning.

It said that Yuan needed a makeup lesson tonight and asked him to come over.

Wang Dahai didn't think much of it; after all, her husband had just come back from a business trip, so it wouldn't be possible for him to have another trip so soon.

But it was hard to say, as the two of them hadn't met in a while. Who knew, maybe her husband would go out tonight.

By the time Xu Xixi woke up, the two had lunch outside, bought some medicine, and then Wang Dahai left.

At 5 o'clock in the evening, he arrived at Zhang Jie's house for dinner, and sure enough, her husband was at home.

After dinner, he went into the room to tutor Yuan in English.

When he came out, he saw Zhang Jie and her husband sitting on the couch watching TV.

"Mrs. Zhang, the tutoring is done. If there's nothing else, I'll head back first."

Zhang Jie got up with a smile and said, "Let me walk you out. By the way, are you still living around here, or have you moved somewhere else?"

"I'm still living around here for now."

In fact, he had thought about moving out to live with Jiang Rou.

But moving in with her would make many things inconvenient, so he had been putting it off.

As she walked him to the door, just before closing it, Zhang Jie whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Wait for me in the stairwell."

Wang Dahai nodded in understanding and went to the stairwell after leaving.

After about five minutes, he heard footsteps approaching.

He saw Zhang Jie coming down.

Today, she was wearing a rare pair of blue and white skinny jeans that really showed off her figure.

Because of the heat, the girls all preferred to wear skirts, and it was only because of the continuous rain in the past few days that the temperature had dropped, allowing him to see them switch to pants.

Just as Wang Dahai was about to approach, he heard Zhang Jie say, "I'm pregnant."

The hand that Wang Dahai had stretched out froze mid-air, and the expression on his face also became fixed.

Those four words made his mind go blank.

"Pregnant?" He seemed to repeat uncertainly.

"Mhm."

Zhang Jie nodded gently.

Having come back to his senses, Wang Dahai was still somewhat at a loss, "Is it mine?"

Zhang Jie looked at him with complicated eyes and shook her head, "I don't know."

I don't know...

That meant there was no way to be sure.

"I've calculated the timing. During that period, I was also intimate with my husband."

"And you didn't take any precautions?"

"No," Zhang Jie said with a wry smile. "I always plan it according to the calendar, generally not taking precautions during my safe period."

Every time she sought out Wang Dahai, she also planned around her cycle, which is why she dared to be so reckless, not taking any precautions.

Her menstrual cycle was very regular, so normally, she wouldn't get pregnant.

But despite all the calculations, she still got pregnant.

Wang Dahai didn't ask if the test could be wrong.

Since she was discussing it with him, that meant she was certain of it.

"What does your husband think?"

"He wants to keep it."

"He's actually been wanting to have another one. We're young, and we had Yuan early. Both of our parents could also help out."

Moreover, their family was well-off, so having two children was not an issue at all.

Wang Dahai asked, "What about you? What do you think?"

Touching her still flat and smooth belly, Zhang Jie said with tenderness in her eyes, "I also want to keep it. Having another child would give Yuan someone to accompany and look out for each other when they grow up."

After saying this, she looked at Wang Dahai, her lips trembling slightly as she asked in an almost inaudible voice, "What do you think?"

Wang Dahai adjusted his breathing gently and said, "Keep it!"

When such things happen, there's no use regretting them or wondering why.

At first, he was indeed a bit chaotic, a bit panicked, and even a bit remorseful.

But once things were set in stone, that wasn't in his nature to just wipe his hands clean and walk away.

If she wanted to keep the baby, then she would keep it.

He was a medical student and knew all too well just how harmful an abortion could be to a woman's health.

Zhang Jie's eyelashes quivered slightly, her nervousness dissipated, her heart, which had been suspended, came to rest, and the look she gave him was much more tender.

"To keep it? What if it's yours?"

Wang Dahai said, "I can take home twenty-five thousand a month now. If the child is mine, I'll give you half my salary every month until the child comes of age."

"If Mrs. Zhang wishes to maintain her current lifestyle, then let's not tell anyone about this. If you feel guilty, divorce him, and I will marry you."

Wang Dahai was very serious as he spoke, this wasn't just a spur-of-the-moment thing.

When something happens, one has to face the responsibility; running away won't solve the problem.

Moreover, if the child was indeed his seed, he should take responsibility.

Besides, if Zhang Jie were to marry him, he would actually be the one benefitting.

As for Lin Wanqiu, Wang Dahai would not hold her back any longer.

Watching Wang Dahai's serious face and listening to his plans, Zhang Jie suddenly chuckled and said, "Just kidding, how could it be yours?"

Wang Dahai was taken aback. What the hell?

Kidding me?

He looked at Zhang Jie's belly: "You aren't pregnant?"

"I am."

"Then..."

"But it's not yours."

Zhang Jie said, "Didn't I tell you? I've calculated the dates. But during that time, I didn't do it with you; I only did it with my husband a few times."

Wang Dahai opened his mouth but, for a moment, didn't know what to say.

His emotions were tumultuous, a mix of different feelings he couldn't quite define.

Zhang Jie stared at him, seeing relief and gratitude in his eyes.

And regret.

He actually felt regret?

Did he actually contemplate having a child with me?

"Mrs. Zhang, are you sure?"

"Of course, I'm sure."

Zhang Jie tiptoed and patted his shoulder: "Alright, my dear brother, stop worrying; put your heart back in your chest."

Wang Dahai shook his head: "I'm not worried."

Zhang Jie knew well that a woman's intuition is always sensitive, adept at catching emotional nuances.

She had observed every one of Wang Dahai's reactions since she told him about the pregnancy.

And his reactions touched her deeply.

Especially when she heard him say he would give up half his salary and even marry her, she was so moved she almost couldn't help crying.

Even now, her eyes were misted with a thin layer of tears.

"Mrs. Zhang, what's wrong?" Wang Dahai sensed something, quickly embraced her and whispered, "Are you lying to me? Is the child actually mine?"

"Silly brother, what are you talking about? I'm just, just a bit moved..."

"I said that to see your reaction; I thought you would tell me to get an abortion."

As she spoke, she could no longer control her emotions, and her tears fell drop by drop.

Wang Dahai gently patted her back: "How could that be? I'm too happy to even think about that; I would never tell you to do that."

"Yes, now I know. Dear brother, I really like you so much; I was so afraid you would say something that would upset me."

Zhang Jie leaned into his embrace, her emotions slightly uncontrollable.

Wang Dahai knew that pregnant women can have huge emotional swings and that even a trifle could trigger a big reaction, so all he could do was sooth her softly.

After her tears had stopped, she suddenly reached for Wang Dahai's pants: "Silly brother, I want..."
