章 207: Chapter 207 Return to the Capital_1

Ji Yao had been retching non-stop and didn't even notice Qi Huai'an had come to her side.

She jumped in surprise but quickly recovered and shook her head rapidly.

"It's nothing serious."

Even though Ji Yao said this, Qi Huai'an was convinced that something must have happened.

From their phone conversations to his current observation of Ji Yao, her behavior seemed very strange.

"Are you ill? If you need money, I can cover for you," he said, his voice laden with worry.

His brother's health was finally improving, but this woman, who held special significance for him, seemed to be not doing well.

"I'm not ill; I am just…"

Ji Yao paused for a few seconds, her eyes downcast, halting her retching.

The discomfort was gone, but her heart was wrestling with whether or not to tell Qi Huai'an about it.

"Just what?"

Looking at the man in front of her, who was visibly anxious and frowning, Ji Yao spoke forthrightly.

"I am just pregnant."
