The Moon's Love Letter [Pregnancy Before Love]

Synopsis:

Lawyer He Chuyue prides herself on her strong will and decisive nature.

Until that night, when she cast aside reason and composure and spent a reckless night with a man she hadn't seen in ages...

Afterward, she fled in a panic, carefully avoiding any chance of seeing him again.

A month later, she stared at the two lines on the pregnancy test in the bathroom and nearly blacked out.

Xiao Zhiyan is the youngest adjunct associate professor at Jing University’s biochemistry lab. He is quiet, refined, restrained, steady, and self-possessed.

Except for that troublesome night.

He searched for He Chuyue for a month, but got nowhere. Then, at last, he ran into her in the hospital's obstetrics and gynecology department.

Looking at the test report in her hands, he lowered his gaze behind his half-rim glasses and asked coolly, "Is it mine?"

He Chuyue was so angry she laughed. Thinking this was his opening line to dodge responsibility, she played along. "Who else would it be?"

Xiao Zhiyan handed the report back to her and looked up. "Do you want to keep it?"

He Chuyue gave up trying to fight it. "Either way is fine."

"All right."

Though she hadn't hoped for much, her heart still sank at the man's simple reply. Before she could hide the disappointment in her eyes, Xiao Zhiyan's calm voice came from above her.

"Tomorrow at nine. Meet me at the civil affairs bureau."

Everyone at Jing University knew that Professor Xiao of biochemistry was famously strict. During class, he never allowed questions unrelated to the subject. He was a lofty, cold beauty, distant and unfeeling.

Countless female students and teachers had confessed to him, only to be ignored. People began betting that Professor Xiao didn't like women.

One day, a sharp-eyed student spotted a plain ring on Xiao Zhiyan's clearly defined ring finger. After losing a game of rock-paper-scissors with a friend, the student nervously stood up to ask a question.

He had braced himself to be scolded. Instead, the usually stern and aloof Xiao Zhiyan acted completely out of character. With warmth in his eyes, he raised his ringed left hand before the class to show everyone.

"Wedding ring."

"Next question."

After class, the university forum exploded. Meanwhile, Xiao Zhiyan, who usually went straight from class to the lab, made a rare appearance in the academic affairs office, in front of Director Chen, who was processing leave forms.

"Director Chen, I'd like to take half a day off."

Director Chen pushed up his glasses and took out a form. "Reason for leave..."

"My wife's prenatal checkup."

Director Chen's pen veered off course as he wrote "family matter," and his face filled with astonishment.

After Xiao Zhiyan left with the form, Director Chen quietly opened the hottest post on the university forum and anonymously broke the news...

No.
