Chapter 583: – Pregnant…
As time gradually passed, when Lin Jin successfully graduated and started leaving the streaming industry to start her internship, when Xia Tian’s restaurant became more and more popular and he began planning to open a second location, when her mom found a partner for the second half of her life, when Lin Chen also started dating in university, and when her dad and her stepmom were all lovey dovey…
Lin Jin got pregnant…
Even though they had agreed to get married when she was around twenty seven or twenty eight years old, the two had lived together for so long after all. Xia Tian was also a fullblood man. After there was a first time, there would then continue to be a second time, and a third…
At first, Xia Tian was very careful about contraception, but later on, maybe he forgot or something. So Lin Jin, who had just started working, accidentally got pregnant at only twenty two years old.
Lin Jin really wanted to curse out a Motherf*cker!
But because of the previous black cat’s prohibitions, Lin Jin had already not spoken any curse words at anyone for a long time. Pretty much everyone thought of her as a gentle, polite, and good girl.
Well, if the little one in her belly was born, then it would be good mom.
Lin Jin felt a bit like she would break down whenever she thought of this. Whenever Lin Jin thought of this. She resigned from the graphics design job she worked at since her internship and returned home. With an unhappy look, she shot a glance at Xia Tian, who had been busy lately with the opening of the new location, and saw him looking at her with those apologetic eyes.
“What are you looking at me for!” Lin Jin angrily glared at him. Folding her arms across her chest, she turned her head towards the floor to ceiling window beside her.
Since Xia Tian had already paid back all of the loans these years and even earned a good amount because of the prosperity of the restaurant, they had long stopped renting in that remote community behind the school. Instead, they moved to the center of Xiamen’s Siming district and rented a three bedroom one living room apartment.
Just the rent alone costed five to six thousand! If it wasn’t for Xia Tian’s restaurant doing so well, Lin Jin might have never been able to live in such a high end place in her life.
After all, their income was unstable back when they did live streaming, and Xia Tian was also in debt. Luckily, Xia Tian’s store gradually thrived, saving the two of them from going bankrupt.
These days, Xia Tian still live streamed, but only for five or six hours a day. Especially now that he was busy planning for the opening of the second location and had a lot of things to do, resulting in the stream being only done occasionally after Lin Jin got off work at night.
But now that Lin Jin had resigned, even though her pregnancy was only one month along, Xia Tian had been insisting that she stay at home and rest ever since discovering she was pregnant during her annual physical examination.
After repeated requests by him, Lin Jin could only helplessly nod and agree.
“So what do we do now?”
Lin Jin sat cross legged on the sofa, slightly squinting as she looked at Xia Tian.
“Other girls at twenty two are just graduating, but I’m already pregnant… My mom had always told me to wait until twenty six or seven before marrying. But if I’m to give birth, I can’t not get married, right?”
“Then we should start preparing for the wedding?”
“No way! I want to abort it!”
“That’s absolutely impossible!”
Xia Tian immediately jumped up, his emotions agitated, and he retorted without any hesitation: “Do you know how bad it is for your body if you abort it! Do you know that some women can’t even get pregnant anymore after getting a few abortions!”
“Is it not because you’re unwilling to lose the child?”
This was the second time Lin Jin had seen him so agitated. The first time had been when she wanted to get breast implants or something, but Xia Tian also tried his hardest, using the reason that it was bad for her body, to stop it.
“Definitely not!”
Xia Tian said righteously.
“It feels like you’re just unwilling because of the child, okay?”
Lin Jin rolled her eyes at him, touched her still flat belly, and sighed.
If they didn’t do anything to remedy this situation, then after nine months, she would become a mom.
F*ck, she wasn’t ready at all, okay!
Lin Jin’s expression was a bit ugly, once again lifting her head to look at Xia Tian.
“I’m still not ready…” She quietly said.
Xia Tian suddenly fell silent. Seeing Lin Jin’s eyes, he somewhat guiltily said: “I’m not ready either…”
After all, one was just twenty two and the other was just twenty four. Even though Lin Jin at her age was able to get married back in her hometown, but there really weren’t many people becoming fathers or mothers at this age.
And even if there were, they were all immature and only wanted to mess around, not suitable to be parents.
“I’ll give my mom a call and ask a bit?”
Lin Jin hesitantly asked: “My mom will probably tell me what to do… we’ll just follow and do what she says?”
“What if she says to abort it?”
“It’s only a month, an abortion wouldn’t hurt my body, right?”
“But…”
“Look, you and me are both not ready to be parents. Having a child now, we don’t even know how to take care of it! Plus, your career is on the rise and you’re only home at night every day. You can’t just have me stay at home all day taking care of the child, right?”
“Or are you saying you think women should just stay home with the children?”
“How’s that possible!”
If it were any other woman, Xia Tian might have thought so, but Lin Jin was the woman who had provided him with a streaming platform and given him countless support.
It could basically be said that if Lin Jin hadn’t appeared, Xia Tian wouldn’t have become the small boss he was now.
Lin Jin let out a sigh and felt like her head hurt. She rubbed her temples with both her hands, then took out her phone and called her mom.
Lin Jin sighed, feeling a massive headache coming on. She rubbed her temples with both hands, then pulled out her phone and called her mom.
“Hello, mom, I’m pregnant.”
“???”
Her mom on the other end was completely confused.
“It’s already been a month… I just accidentally ended up pregnant…”
“Do you think I should keep it, or abort it…”
Lin Jin’s face flushed red. Without even listening to what her mom was saying on the other end, she just continued and blurted out her whole situation.
Her mom on the other side was confused for a bit, only after hesitating for a while did she simply answer.
“Then just keep it and get married in a few months. You guys are engaged anyway, sooner or later is all the same.”
“Eh?”
Why did her mom’s attitude change so fast?
“Anyway, I also have someone now. Look at you, you’ve already graduated for so long but only came to see me twice. Lin Chen also only comes back once per school term.”
What she meant was, now that her mom had a boyfriend, she didn’t need them anymore?
Her mom’s tone sounded quite cheerful, completely not caring about what she had once said about having Lin Jin wait until twenty seven or twenty eight before getting married.
“Anyway, just give me a heads up when you’re getting married. Don’t wait until you have a big belly before marrying.”
Her mom swiftly changed the subject and then continued to say: “After a while, I’ll go over to your place to take care of you and also teach you how to educate your child.”
“There’s no need for that, right?”
“How can you not need it? Once you have the child, you’ll also be a mother too, okay? As a grandmother, I definitely have to teach you properly.”
If Lin Jin had known beforehand, she wouldn’t have called her mom.
Lin Jin nodded with a wry smile, helplessly accepting her mom’s suggestion.
At this rate, she’ll eventually become a full time housewife! At least for the next three or four years, she would have no choice but to care for the child!
F*ck! She felt like she wasn’t ready at all!
