Yi Qiansi looked up at Gu Yechen's confused expression and his smile widened. He leaned forward against the table and crossed his hands together, resting his elbows onto the table.

"She's pregnant."

Even Gu Yechen couldn't hide the surprise as his eyes widened and he sat up straighter. Meanwhile, inside the room, He Xinyan gasped in surprise as she fell several steps back.

At once, she placed one hand over her stomach and knit her eyebrows tightly together. What was Yi Qiansi talking about?!

Was he lying to Gu Yechen as one of his tactics?! How could she be pregnant?! How could she be pregnant and not even know herself?!

Gu Yechen frowned, "How do you know?"

"I had a doctor check her body and do a full-body check up a while after she woke up, and surprisingly, I got more information than I needed. . . and wanted. She has a baby inside of her stomach, and it should be about 1 month old by now." Yi Qiansi said with a small smile on his face as he poured himself another cup of tea.

"You are saying the truth?" Gu Yechen asked, uncrossing his legs to stop them from shaking.

Yi Qiansi grinned, "Why would I lie to you about this? Should I bring the doctor's note?"

"There is no need for that."

He Xinyan sat back down on the seat inside the room with one hand over her stomach, not able to believe what Yi Qiansi had said.

She was pregnant? She was really pregnant with Gu Yechen's baby?!

Her eyes teared up again and she didn't know why. He Xinyan thought back to this past month and finally, things began to make some sense.

Why she didn't have an appetite when looking at many foods and thought they were oily when she would have usually enjoyed them.

Why she got tired so easily when exercising even though she hadn't exercised in a long time.

Why when she started to eat she ate more than usual. . .

It all made sense now! After a long time, He Xinyan's face broke into a smile.

There was a baby inside of her! Her baby with Gu Yechen! It was their baby!

She took a deep breath and began laughing as tears rolled down her face. She then stood back up and ran over to the worker inside the room.

"I want to meet him! I have to meet him! Let me out! Go get Yi Qiansi! Tell him to let me out! Please!" He Xinyan screamed, almost a little crazily. Maybe it was because of the pregnancy effects, but in the past month, she felt it was a little hard to think very clearly.

Maybe it is true that when you get pregnant, your IQ decreases. . .

The worker didn't seem to be moved by her screaming and he stayed rooted in his position. He Xinyan ran over to the glass and banged on it when all her might"

"Gu Yechen! Yi Qiansi, you - you! Let me out!"

The worker watched her for several seconds before he finally pulled out a black device and said softly, 'Master Yi, Miss He is going crazy and is screaming to meet Mr. Gu.'

Outside, Yi Qiansi received the message and crossed his arms together as he glanced over at the glass. However, he didn't say or do anything.

Gu Yechen leaned forward and narrowed his eyes, "One life for two, right?"

Yi Qiansi nodded his head.

"Okay, I accept the deal."

"No! Gu Yechen! Shut up!" He Xinyan screamed and began crying even more furiously upon hearing Gu Yechen's words. How could he be so stupid?!

What would she and the baby do without him?!

Yi Qiansi was slightly surprised for a second by Gu Yechen's firm and quick response, and he thought for a few seconds before he laughed.

"Actually. . . I changed my mind. That would be too easy on you." Yi Qiansi tilted his head slightly, "I won't let her go."

There was a bang as Gu Yechen slammed his fists onto the table, causing the tea in Yi Qiansi's cup to spill slightly.

Yi Qiansi smiled softly and raised one eyebrow, "Chill, Mr. Gu. No need to get all fired up."

Gu Yechen furrowed his eyebrows together tightly and glared at Yi Qiansi. If eyes could kill, then the way Gu Yechen was looking at him right now would have killed Yi Qiansi a million times over.

"Yi Qiansi, I am so done with you. Let her go while I am still being nice."

Yi Qiansi lifted his hands up and shrugged, "No need to be nice, Gu Yechen. You were never nice."

He Xinyan watched this scene from behind the glass, taking quick and shallow breaths from just crying. After hearing them talk, she was even more certain that Gu Yechen and Yi Qiansi knew each other.

There was definitely more to the story. . .

"Let her go." Gu Yechen said slowly, one word at a time.

Yi Qiansi grinned, "No."

Gu Yechen stood up angrily from his chair so quickly that it fell back onto the ground, creating a loud bang, "Then you can wait for the Gu Corporation's attacks."

Yi Qiansi didn't seem to care, "Go ahead. I am looking forward to it."

Gu Yechen narrowed his eyes and looked over at the glass, "Let me see her."

"Why should I?"

Gu Yechen smirked, "It is obvious that you won't let her go, so I don't want to waste the time here talking to you either. However, let me at least see her before I leave."

He Xinyan's eyes dimmed slightly upon hearing that he was going to leave, but she could understand. After all, it would only be wasting time if he stayed to talk to that piece of trash.

Anyone with a brain could tell that Yi Qiansi was only playing around with him, and he didn't actually plan to let her go.

There was no point in negotiating with him.

Yi Qiansi crossed his arms together and looked up at Gu Yechen. After a long time, he slowly stood up too.

"One minute."

They stared at each other for a long time before Yi Qiansi finally broke the eye contact and walked towards the door.

Gu Yechen followed him.

They disappeared from the room and He Xinyan quickly wiped her eyes and forcefully squeezed out a smile on her face.

This would be the first time she is seeing Gu Yechen again! He wasn't dead! She had to look the best and not make him worry more than he was already worrying about.

Several minutes passed and He Xinyan was beginning to wonder if Yi Qiansi had lied again and taken Gu Yechen somewhere else.

However, there was a click and the door opened.

He Xinyan felt her heart rise up to her lungs as she could hear the quick beat of her heart in her ears.

The door opened and she first saw Yi Qiansi's face. He looked up at her and she angrily looked away, receiving a sigh from him.

Then, Yi Qiansi moved aside and Gu Yechen stepped in, the angry and cold expression completely gone as his face was replaced with gentleness and also sadness.

The tears that had taken He Xinyan so long to wipe away immediately fell down again as she ran straight into his embrace, "Yechen!"

He closed his eyes as he caught her in his arms, hugging her tightly but then loosening up when he remembered the child Yi Qiansi talked about.

"Call me husband," he said softly, his voice slightly hoarse.

He Xinyan chuckled, "Yes, my husband."

"I missed you so much. . ." Gu Yechen said, his deep voice cracking, which slightly surprised He Xinyan.

She pulled away and looked up, placing both of her hands onto his cheeks, "I missed you too. I am so happy to see you, I -"

She couldn't continue talking as she began crying again. Maybe it was because of the baby inside her, but she got easily emotional. . . very emotional.

Gu Yechen gently patted her on the head, "Don't cry. I don't like to see you cry. . . Don't worry, I will find a way to get you out of here."

He Xinyan suddenly remembered as she looked up, "Don't agree to his deal!"

Gu Yechen realized that she was talking about the "one for two" deal, and he quickly nodded his head, "Don't worry, I won't."

He Xinyan relaxed after hearing that, and she took a deep breath

Gu Yechen watched her as he gulped, "He doesn't hurt you, right?"

He Xinyan shook her head, "Don't worry about me. I eat and sleep very well in here. Everything is good, except. . . I just don't have you. You also take care of yourself. Don't worry too much."

Gu Yechen knew she was only trying to make him feel better and worry less and he smiled as he placed one hand onto her stomach, "Okay. . . You also don't worry and take good care of yourself. I promise I will find a way to get you two out of here very soon."

He Xinyan smiled at his word choice and she also placed her hand over her stomach, over his hand, "You hear that, baby? Your daddy is going to bring us out of here very soon!"

Gu Yechen chuckled softly and used his other hand to lift He Xinyan's chin up, kissing her deeply on the lips. This has been their first kiss in over a month.

Both of them wanted to savor the moment and make it as long as possible, even if He Xinyan was beginning to have a hard time breathing.

However, the door opened after a few seconds and Yi Qiansi frowned slightly when he saw the sight in front of him, "One minute is up."

Gu Yechen didn't let go though as he continued to kiss her. When Yi Qiansi's patience was about to run out, he finally let go and stared into He Xinyan's eyes.

"Wait for me."

He Xinyan nodded, "We will."

--- Note:

Ahh I am totally not crying. My eyes are just sweating. . . no really. It's so hot.
