Meng Qingxue suddenly realized that she had asked something personal. She stopped herself and apologized ruefully. “I’m sorry; I shouldn’t pry into your affairs.”
“It’s fine,” Chu He replied. “I don’t know how to answer your question, for I’m clueless on who the father of my child is, either.”
“How’s that so?” The other woman furrowed her brows quizzically.
The reason she was more concerned about this topic was, perhaps, she thought she had found a kindred spirit.
Single mother?
Unmarried and pregnant?

The qualities of Chu He matched her too well as if she was a projection of her. Perhaps there was more to this than what met the eye!
However, the answer ‘I’m clueless on who the father of my child is, either’ of the other woman shocked her thoroughly.
How can she not know who the father of her child is?
Chu He saw the inquiries in her eyes but did not seem to resent her curiosity. Hooking her lips into a smile, the policewoman told her casually, “This is a complicated matter. Let’s talk next time. I’ll get changed first; you wait here for me.”
“Alright.”
Meng Qingxue sat quietly in a chair to wait, and when she saw Chu He coming out in plain clothes, she stood up immediately.
“Let’s go. We’ll return to the hostel first!”
“Eh?” Just as she expressed her surprise, she heard the policewoman explaining, “Your clothes are still there, right? There’s also your deposit; you should collect it.”
She immediately explained, “Actually, it doesn’t matter if I don’t collect it.”
“Are you sure that it’s alright?” The cop stopped in her tracks, casually sized her up, and gave her a hint with a smile. “Since you want to have a baby, you naturally need to be prudent with your money. You’ll need it to meet the child’s needs.”
Meng Qingxue was taken aback. She opened her mouth to speak, but no words came forth, and eventually, she chose to follow the other woman in silence.
The policewoman’s vehicle was a motorcycle. She started the engine, put on the helmet, then patted the back seat, and said to her, “Come on up!”
She did as told.
“Hold on to me. It’s rather windy, so you should hide behind me.”
“Don’t you feel cold?”
“I’m used to it. I have a good constitution.”
“Alright.”

On the way back, Meng Qingxue asked curiously, “Officer…”
“You can call me Sister Chu.”
“Okay. Sister Chu… how did you know that I’m pregnant?”
She had never told anyone about this since the beginning.
“While we were in the car on the way back to the station, you were sitting on the passenger seat with your head down and were silently caressing your belly. Only a pregnant woman would make that kind of movement.”
She was stunned for a while before finally responding admiringly, “You have keen observation.”
“Where’s the child’s father?” asked the policewoman all of a sudden. “How come you are alone? Why isn’t the child’s father with you?”
An expression of loss flashed across her face abruptly before she hooked her lips into a self-deprecating and bitter smile. “The father doesn’t want his child, so…”
“So you went out of your way to leave him and came to this poor countryside, where you intend to give birth to the child anonymously?” finished Chu He for her.
