Yes Im Straight But What Have I Done Wrong

"Congratulations, ma'am," said the doctor. "You've been pregnant for a little more than a month."

"Pregnant?"

Cindy Cheng couldn't believe what she just heard. She quickly stammered, "I'm pregnant? Doctor, are you sure?"

"Yes, ma'am. You are indeed pregnant," the doctor reassured her again.

Cindy Cheng was ecstatic at the great news. She and Jeff He had been married for the last three years, but she couldn't get pregnant. It was only recently that she started feeling sick. At first, she assumed that something was wrong with her stomach, so she came to hospital for an examination. She didn't expect to receive this surprise.

'I almost forgot. I have to tell Jeff.' With excitement, Cindy Cheng quickly grabbed her phone and dialed his number. She called him several times, but he didn't answer.

Cindy Cheng frowned in confusion and glanced at her watch. She guessed that he was working overtime again. These days, he was always staying out so late at work because he was so busy.

Shrugging, Cindy Cheng carefully folded her diagnosis report and placed it inside her bag. She returned back home, elated with joy.

As soon as she entered the entrance of her house, a pair of slippers hit her.

"You little bitch! You still remember to come back!"

Stunned at what just happened, Cindy Cheng quickly covered her head in defense. She peeked at her fuming mother-in-law and found her grimacing in the living room. She wondered what that woman wanted this time.

Her mother-in-law, Jessica Xu, was never satisfied with her. Soon after Cindy Cheng married Jeff He, Jessica Xu decided to move in with them. She used the excuse that she would be too lonely at home. However, she always picked on Cindy Cheng's mistakes and berated her every single day for it.

Since she was Jeff He's mother, Cindy Cheng tolerated this treatment. She never quarreled with Jessica Xu for Jeff He's sake. She didn't want her relationship with her husband to be affected because of his mother's difficulty.

Suppressing her anger, Cindy Cheng calmly asked, "Mom, what's wrong with you?"

"You were gone for so long and it's already late, but you just arrived. Why don't you just stay outside all day and ignore all the housework back at home? You want me to take all your chores, right? Also, why did you buy these slutty clothes? Are you trying to seduce other men?"

While she was speaking, Jessica Xu threw something red at Cindy Cheng.

Cindy Cheng frowned and noticed that the parcel box had already been opened. She silently pursed her lips and was a little annoyed that Jessica Xu opened her package without permission.

She slowly squatted down and picked up the clothes in confusion. She didn't buy anything recently. What was this?

Cindy Cheng unfolded the garments in her hands and blushed a deep shade of red.

Jessica Xu stared Cindy's red face and became even angrier. She scolded her daughter-in-law furiously, "I can't believe that you're blushing. How can you buy these clothes? You should be ashamed!"

Cindy blankly stared at Jessica and was at a loss for words. Just as she was about to explain that she didn't buy these clothes, she remembered that Jeff had been working overtime recently, that he began to ignore her. Did he buy her these clothes so that they could rekindle their intimacy again?

She was sure that he must have done that. She recalled Jeff secretly doing something on his phone a few days ago and everything seemed to add up. At this thought, Cindy felt a happy and shy smile creeping up on her face.

"How dare you smile? You are a shameless bitch!"

"Mom, I just remembered that I have work to do back at the company. I'll be leaving now!" She didn't want to argue with Jessica anymore. Without saying anything else, Cindy placed the clothes in her bag and ran out of the door, leaving Jessica alone in the room as she spewed incoherent curses.

Cindy left the house and decided to see Jeff at his company. For the last few weeks, he barely stayed at home, leaving the house early and coming back very late. They hadn't had a good conversation in a long while. It was also probably a good time for her to inform him that she was pregnant.

Before going to his office, she drove to Jeff's favorite restaurant and bought him his favorite trotter and lotus seeds soup.

She arrived at his company and started to walk towards the elevator. However, the receptionist suddenly stopped her in a panic.

"Ma'am, Mr. Jeff is in a meeting. You can't go up, right now!"

"That's alright. I'll wait for him in his office!"

Cindy gave the receptionist a friendly smile as she was about to walk towards the elevator.

But to her surprise, the receptionist stopped her once again. She avoided eye contact with Cindy and said in a low voice, "Ma'am, why don't you head over to the sofa and wait for a brief moment. Mr. Jeff is still in a meeting."

Cindy frowned and scoffed, "No, thanks. I'll wait for him inside his office. Don't worry. I won't disturb him."

However, the receptionist insisted, "Ma'am, you really can't go up..."

By this time, the staff working upstairs were already finished with work. Cindy looked around and found a group of people coming out of the elevator to go home.

In the past, Cindy would usually come over to visit Jeff, so employees knew her. Whenever they saw her, they would always give her a warm greeting. However, something seemed different this time. They glanced at her from a distance and wore strange expressions as they mysteriously whispered to each other.

Cindy couldn't help but wonder, what was wrong with them today?
