Reborn in the 1980s: Nine Stunning Beauties Get Pregnant Before Marriage

"It's just that my stomach isn't feeling well, I have bloating. It's not pregnancy," Liang Meie said, revealing the result.

Chen Yongqiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If she, a widow, were really pregnant, who knows what kind of storm it would cause in the village, and it would be even more troublesome to explain.

"I thought you'd gotten pregnant by one of your lovers." Chen Yongqiang was always extra careful whenever he got close to Liang Meie, precisely because he was afraid of leaving any future trouble.

Liang Meie angrily punched his arm: "Do you think I'm that kind of easy woman? After being with you, how could I possibly have room for anyone else in my heart!"

"I was just kidding," Chen Yongqiang said, but he had his own plans in mind.

This is both a test and a reminder. If she really gets involved with someone else, many resources and support will naturally have to be reconsidered in the future.

There was a moment of silence in the tent. Liang Meie remained leaning against him, but didn't speak again, lost in thought.

After a moment, Liang Meie spoke again: "This examination served as a reminder to me. I... I also had the doctor insert an IUD."

She continued, "That way, we won't have to live in constant fear anymore."

This is indeed a solution that solves the problem once and for all, and it also relieves Chen Yongqiang of many concerns: "Won't getting an IUD affect your health?"

"There might be a little bit, but it's all worth it for you!" Liang Meie said earnestly.

Just then, the float trembled slightly. Chen Yongqiang reacted quickly and lifted the rod, but only managed to bring up a string of splashes.

"Fishing can be done slowly," Liang Meie said, her voice getting closer.

"How about... we try it first, and see if it really makes you feel safe after getting an IUD?" As she spoke, the hand that was originally on his waist had quietly moved downwards.

"Here? Aren't you afraid of being seen?" Chen Yongqiang rebaited the empty hook.

"Isn't your dog guarding outside? It always barks when someone gets close." Liang Meie chuckled, but her hand slid down even more restlessly.

Sirius is indeed alert, but it is a wolf and doesn't bark like a dog.

Outside the tent was a cold, icy surface, but inside, the fire in the stove had warmed both of them considerably.

Chen Yongqiang's thoughts shifted slightly. Upon reflection, he realized that it had indeed been a while since he had been close to Liang Meie.

Firstly, they were concerned about the large number of people in the village and the potential for rumors; secondly, and most importantly, they were afraid of accidentally causing trouble.

She was not Wang Guixiang after all; living in town made it much easier for her to conceal her whereabouts.

Liang Meie has taken root in this village, and whenever there is the slightest disturbance, countless eyes are watching and countless mouths are waiting to gossip.

Now that she has taken the initiative to get an IUD, that most troublesome concern has been eliminated.

"Then there's no need to endure it any longer."

Thinking of this, Chen Yongqiang loosened his grip on the fishing rod.

He turned around and, before Liang Meie could react, he had already embraced her.

"Are you sure?" he asked in a low voice.

A triumphant smile spread across Liang Meie's eyes. She didn't speak, but simply hooked her hand around his neck, the answer self-evident.

The dim light from the fire cast their intertwined figures onto the swaying tarpaulin.

The unattended float suddenly began to shake violently, again and again, before finally returning to calm, with only tiny ripples spreading silently.

Outside the tent, Sirius remained quietly lying in the wind, his ears twitching as he listened to the sounds in the distance, seemingly oblivious to the suppressed breathing inside the tent.

Just then, another villager, looking for a place to cast his line, walked across the ice from afar.

Seeing the tents on the ice, he became curious and instinctively moved closer to them.

After taking only ten or so steps, the wolf, which had been lying still, suddenly stood up, turned to face the newcomer, its back fur slightly ruffled, and a low, menacing growl came from its throat, its snow-white fangs flashing in the cold light.

The man was startled by the sudden, threatening gesture and immediately stopped, asking, "Whose dog is this? It's so fierce!"

Seeing that the wolf showed no intention of barking or chasing, but instead remained firmly guarding a few feet away from the tent with a cold gaze, he quickly retreated and found another spot on the ice far from the tent to begin his ice fishing.

Inside the tent, Liang Meie was still breathing heavily, but she felt that Chen Yongqiang was unusually different today.

That aggressiveness was more irresistible than ever before, causing her to feel a faint, overwhelming fear amidst the dizzying pleasure.

She couldn't help but ask, breathless, "You seem like a completely different person today..."

"Is there?" Chen Yongqiang himself seemed unaware of anything unusual.

Perhaps it was because the biggest concern about pregnancy had been removed from her mind, and she was completely relaxed.

Or perhaps, the body-tempering pill subtly transformed far more than just muscles, bones, and strength; it also quietly altered some of the most primal impulses and control.

He simply felt that the warm body in his arms brought a sensation that penetrated to his very bones more deeply than any other time in his memory.

The fire in the stove had died down at some point, but the temperature inside the tent did not drop.

Afterwards, Liang Meie leaned lazily against him, remaining silent for a long while before sighing softly, "Sometimes, I really envy Xiulian for being able to give birth to your child."

She seemed to be talking to herself, with a kind of resigned clarity.

Liang Meie was well aware of her identity and situation. As a widow, her relationship with Chen Yongqiang was already illicit, and getting pregnant with his child would be an unbearable trouble for anyone.

Chen Yongqiang's hand stroked her sweaty shoulder: "You already have a son and a daughter, aren't you satisfied?" He was referring to the two children left by her ex-husband.

"That's different! In my heart... never mind, why tell you this?" She swallowed the rest of her sentence and buried her face in his shoulder again.

Just then, the fishing rod lying to the side was tugged, and the spool made a soft creaking sound.

"A fish is coming!" Chen Yongqiang immediately released his arm around Liang Meie and reached out to grab the fishing rod.

Liang Meie straightened up from his embrace, gathered her disheveled clothes, and bent down to fasten her buttons.

Chen Yongqiang didn't have much trouble pulling a lively carp out of the ice cave.

"This fish isn't very big." Liang Meie had already straightened her clothes and looked at the carp, which weighed about two or three pounds.

Chen Yongqiang removed the hook and threw the fish into the bucket next to him.

"But this is a good sign, it means that a school of fish has come to the fishing spot." He rebaited and cast his line, his movements steady and efficient.

As Chen Yongqiang had predicted, the fish activity began to pick up more fish.

The float made a series of strong snaps, and soon two or three more carp were pulled out of the ice hole, all about the same size as the first one.

Liang Meie was also busy, helping to pick up the fish. The bucket gradually filled with more fish, mainly the four major freshwater fish species.

"Looks like I'm in good luck today. I should be able to sell about 10 yuan worth of fish today." She counted the fish in the bucket and made a rough estimate.

"I can sense there are even more fish underwater." Chen Yongqiang's senses have become stronger.
