Lu Jincheng lost his patience and pushed Ji Yao onto the sofa before turning to leave.
Ji Yao was startled by Lu Jincheng's action, not falling into the sofa, but heavily landing on the floor instead.
Comforting herself as she rubbed her abdomen, Ji Yao frowned, uncertain whether it was psychological or actual physical pain, but she kept feeling discomfort in her stomach.
Recalling news stories of women who had accidentally miscarried after being pushed, Ji Yao panicked.
But the increasingly intense pain prevented her from going to the hospital on her own, managing only to muster enough strength to sit up on the sofa.
After waiting for a while, the pain in her abdomen didn't lessen, but instead came in waves, growing stronger; Ji Yao decided not to wait any longer and picked up her phone to call Qi Huai'an.
The phone rang a few times before it was answered, and Qi Huai'an's nonchalant voice came through.
"Hello, who is it?"
