Cheng Yuzhi sat opposite Ye Jiaqi, his eyes always falling on her face, with shallow waves surging under his eyes.

Xiaoguai found a very comfortable position and nestled in Cheng Yuzhi's arms, closing his eyes to rest.

"I've been back for so long this time, which makes you worried." Ye Jiaqi held the milk cup and asked, "How are you lately? I haven't called you for many days."

"Step by step, everything is still the same. On your side, you have fallen behind a lot in your classes, right? Have you ever gone back to school?"

"Well, I went to class for two days. Fortunately, I kept reading when I returned to China, so I can keep up with the class."

"How old is the baby?"

Ye Jiaqi's heart tightened subconsciously, and he had no intention of hiding it: "It's been almost two months."

"That's just right. After the final exam, take a good rest at home. I know some teachers at the University of Chicago. If you need to say hello, I can call for you."

"I plan to apply for early graduation." Ye Jiaqi expressed his inner thoughts.

Cheng Yuzhi frowned. He also graduated from this university and knew it very well: "Graduating early is not impossible, but the credits in each semester must meet the standards for early graduation."

"I think I should have no problem. After the final exam, I plan to go out for an internship."

Cheng Yuzhi frowned deeper: "You are pregnant..."

"It doesn't matter. The three-month crisis period has passed since the final exam, so everything will be fine. And most of my internship work will be in the office, so I don't have to run around here and there."

Cheng Yuzhi stared into her eyes for a long time.

He knew that no one could take her decision back.

But what puzzles him is, what about the person she likes? Is she willing to let a pregnant woman go to work?

"Good luck." Cheng Yuzhi looked at her, his expression suddenly becoming serious, "Where is the father of the child? Is he willing to let you, a pregnant woman, come out and look for a job?"

"He..." Ye Jiaqi's expression became dazed, his eyes filled with hazy confusion, "If he were here, he wouldn't be willing to let go..."

Ye Jiaqi's voice was very soft, like a thread that would break with just a little force.

Her eyes showed that dazed confusion again.

But Cheng Yuzhi heard everything clearly.

He suddenly understood something.

The child's father...is no longer here.

Not on a business trip, not running away from home, but gone or passed away.

Cheng Yuzhi's heart felt as if he had been pricked by a needle, and the pain quickly spread from his limbs and bones, penetrating into every cell like air.

From every time he called Ye Jiaqi, he could feel that she liked that man very much. That kind of love was a love that lasted for many years, not just overnight.

"I'm sorry..." Cheng Yuzhi was very sorry. He didn't expect it to be like this, he didn't expect it at all.

"It's okay." Ye Jiaqi lowered his head and took a sip of milk, "There's still a baby."

Ye Jiaqi didn't cry. Aunt Mei had said that pregnant women should stay in a good mood.

The atmosphere is a bit subtle.

"If you need my help when looking for a job, I can help." Cheng Yuzhi broke the silence, "You can find some clerical or translation jobs first, so that you won't be too tired."

"Okay, that's what I planned too, just because I'm afraid that people won't want pregnant women."

Today's companies are very smart, and no company is willing to hire pregnant women.
