Married to his secret crush

''We are not aborting the baby,'' Yu Mei let go of his hand. 

Jun Zixuan's expression changed, ''I am not letting you take the risk,'' He narrowed his eyes and left the room without looking back at her.

She glanced at his retreating back before she placed her hand on her lower abdomen. Her eyes welled up with tears and she stubbornly blinked them away before turning her face towards the window. 

After some time, a nurse came inside the room with a food trolley and she was followed by Shi Luo. 

Shi Luo glanced at Yu Mei who was sitting quietly on the bed with a nonchalant look on her face. 

Hearing the sounds of approaching footsteps, Yu Mei turned to look at Shi Luo, ''Luoluo…'' 

''Mei..'' Shi Luo paused and glanced at the nurse who left the room after serving the food on the small table arranged on the bed. 

After the door closed, Shi Luo walked towards the bed before taking a seat beside Yu Mei, ''Is it painful anywhere?" She asked concernedly after noticing her pale face. 

Yu Mei shook her head. 

''Mei, eat something first,'' Shi Luo pointed her chin towards the food, ''Don't starve yourself. It's breakfast time.'' 

Yu Mei was about to reject it but then she paused for a moment and after thinking about something, she picked up the bowl of porridge from the tray before eating it, ''Did Zixuan eat anything?'' she asked softly. 

''No, Mia is there with him outside.'' 

''Did you?" 

Shi Luo nodded, ''I had my food before you came here.'' 

Yu Mei nodded, ''Then you send them for breakfast.''

''Mei, he is doing this for your own good…'' Shi Luo said and Yu Mei paused eating, ''Do you think Zixuan doesn't want the baby?"

''He does. He wants the baby,'' Yu Mei softly said as she placed the bowl down. 

Shi Luo nodded. Her brows tugged together slightly, ''He was here with me yesterday, in my office, looking at a baby magazine with so much of adoration even though when I came, he masked his expressions and acted cool about it. I did not think much about it. But when I mentioned your body condition, he lost it. He left the hospital without further delay…''

But he could not find her when he went back to Ren Mansion. Yu Mei thought to herself. 

''In the end, it's you who is a priority to him. Don't be stubborn about this, you are hurting yourself and him while doing this,'' Shi Luo whispered. 

Yu Mei looked at her quietly. 

5 pm, Sunshine Hospital. 

When Yu Mei woke up from her nap, she found Jun Zixuan sitting on the chair next to her hospital bed, he had his eyes closed and she could see the dark circles under them. 

She slowly sat up on the bed before extending her hand to touch his face but her wrist was grabbed the moment her fingers touched his skin.

Noticing that it was her, he loosened his grip on her wrist and stroked it gently with his fingers, ''How do you feel?" He asked.

''I am alright,'' She replied, ''Comparatively, you look like an old man to me.'' 

Jun Zixuan raised an eyebrow and Yu Mei felt her heart skipping a beat because of how charming he was, ''An ugly one? Ugly old man?" He asked. 

She nodded, ''Ugly one at that. At this rate, I will just go look for young and fresh flower boys if you don't work on getting those dark circles removed.''

''How to work on them?" 

''Take more care of yourself,'' She replied. He let go of her wrist and she leaned back on the hospital bed. 

The air was silent once again and Yu Mei broke the silence, ''Let us… abort the baby,'' she turned her face to the side as she glanced out of the window. 

Jun Zixuan glanced at her side profile for a few seconds before he stood up from the chair and took a step towards the bed. He pulled her into his arms. Yu Mei quietly wrapped her arms around his waist while he stroked her hair. 

''I don't want to lose it either. But we don't have any other choice, baby,'' he whispered, ''I can't afford to lose you.'' 

Yu Mei did not say anything as she continued hugging him, her heart felt like it was being squeezed by something, making her feel breathless. 

Mia, who was standing near the door, glanced at them quietly, her expressions were unreadable. She could feel Yu Mei's pain, maybe it was the bond they shared but she could feel that stifling feeling in herself. And Jun Zixuan was hurt too… it was apparent in those dark brown eyes that seemed to have lost their usual lustre.

"Zixuan, where are you going?" Mia asked the man when she saw him walking out of the room.

Jun Zixuan paused in his tracks and he turned to look at her, ''Stay here with Mei. I will check if Luoluo is here with the doctor yet.'' 

Mia frowned, ''Eat something, you look tired.''

''I am fine,'' Jun Zixuan raked his fingers through his hair. 

Somewhere, the usual dominant air around him seemed to have been suppressed by the sadness in his eyes.

''You stay here with Mei. She was looking for you, I will go check with Luoluo.'' He said. 

''What about your mom? And Mei's parents?" 

''The situation in the Han Family is not good right now and mom is not in a good condition either. Let us not tell anyone about it for now.'' 

Mia nodded, ''Shall I inform Jian Yu?" 

Jun Zixuan paused for a moment before nodding. ''Here, use my phone,'' He passed her his phone noticing that she did not have one at the moment. 

Mia wanted to ask him to do it but at the same time, Jun Zixuan looked disturbed so she could not bring herself to do that. In the end, she took it upon herself.

Even though it seemed normal but Han Jian Yu was a bit indifferent towards her when he left.
