"But I just..."
"Shh." Di Mingzhe’s slender fingers gently pressed against her lips, smiling softly, "Fool, you ultimately chose to give up, didn’t you? No matter the process, in the end, you decided to give up, didn’t you?"
"Yes." Di Xiaxia nodded, taking a deep breath, "You’re right, I gave up. Tomorrow, I will voluntarily announce my withdrawal because I’m pregnant. There’s a baby, I can’t risk the baby’s life for a joke."
Di Mingzhe smiled, gazing at her with deep affection, "You’ve got a baby, are you happy?"
Di Xiaxia was momentarily stunned, then nodded joyously, "Happy."
Her mental knot suddenly unraveled, leaving only joy. The joy of becoming a mother for the first time was beyond delightful, all the more so because this baby was conceived with her beloved.
"I am happy too." Di Mingzhe lifted her up and placed her on the bed, kissing her softly, "Xiaxia, thank you."
Di Xiaxia still felt a bit guilty, her face reddening, "Don’t thank me, I have been so headstrong, insisting on competing, I..."
"I said no more of this." Di Mingzhe silenced her mouth with a kiss, blocking back all her words of guilt.
Afterward, he held her close, speaking deliberately, "Actually, motherly love is innate. If I hadn’t objected, deep down you hadn’t completely decided that you wanted to compete, right? You were just verbally opposing me."
Di Xiaxia was suddenly taken aback, he had guessed it?
Yes, she hadn’t actually fully resolved to compete; she was conflicted, struggling, entangled inside.
