Because of this delay, by the time the group arrived in town, it was already past noon. In the Yunlai Restaurant, there was only one table of empty customers in the main hall on the first floor, and they looked like they had almost finished eating.

As soon as they arrived at the restaurant entrance, Wang Xiaojiang greeted them with a big smile.

"Sister Yi, young master, you're here. You haven't had lunch yet, have you? What would you like to eat...?"

It was indeed getting late, and Han Yiyi didn't want to go through too much trouble. She had originally planned to just grab a bowl of wontons outside, but this young master insisted on coming here. However, to save time, Han Yiyi still told Wang Xiaojiang.

"No need for too much trouble, just cook some egg noodles..."

"Okay..." he said, and quickly walked towards the kitchen.

What Han Yiyi didn't know was that Yun Xiao didn't not want to eat wontons outside, but rather that he didn't have any money on him.

In the past, when going out with Steward Liu, Steward Liu would naturally be in charge of paying the bills, so Young Master Yun would not carry such vulgar items with him.

But now that he was out with Han Yiyi, he couldn't possibly let the young lady pay for his meal. That's why he insisted on coming to the restaurant, making the excuse that the food outside wasn't clean. Of course, he also had another purpose in coming: to get some money from Manager Tong.

After everyone finished their noodles, they still hadn't seen Manager Tong, so Yun Xiao had to go to the accounting office by himself.

At this moment, Manager Tong's gaze was fixed on the doctor's face in front of him.

It turned out that Wang Yan'er had felt unwell since early morning. She managed to eat a little bit of food, but then vomited it all up. This feeling was all too familiar to Wang Yan'er. She raised her hand to touch her lower abdomen, her eyes turning a little red.

The doctor had previously said that her body was severely weakened and that it would be difficult for her to conceive. Although she knew that Manager Tong didn't mind, she still had a knot in her heart, feeling indebted to Manager Tong and wanting to give him a son or daughter so that their family could be more complete.

As she raised her hand to touch her lower abdomen again, tears welled up in Manager Wang's eyes. She felt that heaven had truly been kind to her.

Manager Tong had already noticed that his wife seemed to be feeling unwell today. Now, seeing that she had not only vomited but also looked like she was about to burst into tears, his heart immediately jumped.

Manager Tong was no longer a naive young man; his previous wife had died in childbirth. Seeing Manager Wang in such a state, his face turned pale, and he hurriedly pulled Wang Yan'er to Tongrentang.

Doctor Xia felt a little uneasy under Manager Tong's gaze, so he coughed lightly before speaking.

"Cough, you are fine. Madam is pregnant, but your health was not very good to begin with. I will prescribe some herbal medicine to help with the pregnancy. You should rest more for the next month or so..."

Upon hearing Dr. Xia's affirmation, Wang Yan'er's eyes were filled with excitement, and she quickly expressed her gratitude.

"Thank you, doctor, thank you, doctor..."

Upon hearing Doctor Xia's words, Manager Tong's eyes revealed a complex mix of emotions. He was pleased, but mostly worried.

Shopkeeper Tong secretly longed for a child of his own, but his deceased wife's experience filled him with dread. Childbirth was like a brush with death for a woman; if…

"Dr. Xia, do you think it's possible to..."

However, he stopped speaking halfway through his sentence. Yan'er's health was already poor, and she had only improved after continuous treatment. If she were to have the child removed, her body would surely not be able to handle it.

He had thought that, according to the doctor, Wang Yan'er's health was weak, and if he restrained himself in that area, she wouldn't get pregnant. He never expected the child to come so suddenly...

Wang Yan'er, who was standing to the side, seemed to have seen through Manager Tong's thoughts. She naturally knew about Manager Tong's past, so she reached out and gently held Manager Tong's hand, speaking reassuringly.

"Don't worry, my child and I will be fine..."

Manager Tong could hear the firmness in Wang Yan'er's voice, and the warmth from her hands seemed to give him an invisible strength.

Looking at Wang Yan'er's flat stomach, Manager Tong seemed to be in a daze for a moment, and actually saw a baby smiling and waving at him. When he came back to his senses, his eyes reddened. After a moment, he held Wang Yan'er's hand back, but still spoke.

"When we get back, I'll buy a maid to serve you. From now on, you're not allowed to do anything at home yourself..."

Hearing Manager Tong's words, Wang Yan'er was startled. She was only pregnant, so why would she need someone to take care of her? She quickly refused.

However, under Manager Tong's insistence, Wang Yan'er had no choice but to compromise and agree to let her mother take care of her for the time being.

At this moment, the young apprentice had already prepared the medicine to prevent miscarriage. Manager Tong hurriedly reached out to take it, then turned around to help Wang Yan'er, who was standing to the side, before they walked out together.

Just as they reached the door, a man carrying an old woman on his back rushed in, shouting incessantly.

"Doctor, please save my mother, please save my mother..."

Fortunately, Wang Yan and his companion dodged quickly, otherwise they would have definitely run into each other.

After pulling Wang Yan'er into his arms with lingering fear, Manager Tong was about to scold her, but after seeing the man's face clearly, his brows furrowed deeply.

Wang Yan'er naturally recognized the person who came; it was her ex-husband, Huang Dachuan, and the person he was carrying on his back was none other than Old Lady Huang.

However, Huang Dachuan was in a hurry, and Wang Yan'er's appearance and clothing were completely different from before, so Huang Dachuan did not recognize her.

When the young apprentice saw Huang Dachuan come in from inside the quilt, he quickly told him to put Huang's wife on a low couch to the side.

As soon as Old Lady Huang lay down, the hat she had been wearing fell off, revealing her bald head.

No, you can't say it's completely bald. You should say it still has a few hairs on it. That would make it look incredibly ridiculous.

Upon seeing this, Wang Yan'er couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Originally, Manager Tong was about to step forward and scold Huang Dachuan, but he almost bumped into them. Now, hearing Wang Yan'er's laughter, he couldn't help but follow Wang Yan'er's gaze.

Seeing those few hairs standing firmly on top of his bald head, Manager Tong couldn't help but laugh.

Hearing their laughter, Huang Dachuan looked at them. When he saw that the noblewoman in front of him was Wang Yan'er, Huang Dachuan's eyes widened in disbelief. However, his disbelief quickly turned into hatred.

In his view, if Wang Yan'er hadn't been so ungrateful and insisted on a divorce, he wouldn't have remarried, and his family wouldn't be in this state.
