Chapter 155 Morning Sickness

After putting down her phone, Qu Jingyou said to her, "Ruanruan, my aunt is nearby. She's coming over to deliver something to me. Perfect timing, you two can meet up later."

Qu Jingyou had told Lin Xiyin about her aunt countless times.

Lin Xiyin had long admired this legendary figure.

Qu Jianhang arrived quickly, in just over ten minutes.

Qu Jingyou and Lin Xiyin waited for her at the entrance of the restaurant.

The car has smooth lines and a low-key color, but the logo and license plate number exude a sense of luxury.

The rear car window slowly rolled down, revealing Qu Jianhang's bright and elegant face to the two of them.

"Auntie!" Qu Jingyou bent down and leaned against the car window: "Would you like to have dinner with us?"

Qu Jianhang smiled, reached out and patted her head, then handed her the things in his hand: "No, you go ahead and meet up with your friends, I won't bother you."

"I won't bother you," Qu Jingyou said. "She's the older sister I told you about before. Come down here, I'll introduce you two."

Qu Jianhang has always had a good relationship with his niece, and has heard her talk about this older sister more than once.

She opened the car door from the other side and got out. Her gaze drifted casually over, and she was immediately stunned.

Qu Jingyou had already pulled Lin Xiyin over: "Auntie, this is Lin Xiyin, her nickname is Ruanruan, she is one of my best friends!"

She then looked at Lin Xiyin: "Ruanruan, this is my aunt, you can call her aunt too!"

Qu Jianhang is not a beauty in the traditional sense, but her face has a sophisticated look and a unique charm.

Lin Xiyin said, "I feel it's more appropriate to call her 'sister,' 'aunt' looks so young."

Qu Jianhang, after all, was a man who had weathered many storms, and no one noticed his momentary emotional outburst.

She smiled and said, "I'm not young anymore. Then I'll call you Ruanruan along with Jingjing?"

"Of course you can."

"Auntie, come eat with us!"

Qu Jingyou extended a warm invitation.

Qu Jianhang said, "I really can't do it today, I have an appointment with someone."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Lin Xiyin and said, "Whenever Ruanruan is free next time, I'll treat you all separately."

Qu Jianhang left quickly, and Qu Jingyou, holding Lin Xiyin's hand, walked towards the restaurant: "Sister, how is my aunt?"

"Very charming." Lin Xiyin didn't hold back her praise: "She's beautiful, elegant, and has great poise."

"That's why I like her a lot!"

The two went back to continue eating.

Qu Jingyou asked, "When is Sister Yiyi free? I haven't seen her in so long."

Not only Qu Jingyou, but Lin Xiyin hasn't seen her in a long time either.

Since Huo Xianyang went abroad last time, Xiao Ruoyi has also become very busy.

Lin Xiyin said, "When I called last time, she said she would be done in a few more days and we could have dinner together then."

Back home, Lin Xiyin thought for a moment and then called Xiao Ruoyi.

It rang seven or eight times before being answered; it was Xiao Ruoyi's lazy voice: "Hello."

Lin Xiyin checked the time and asked in surprise, "You're asleep?"

So early?

Xiao Ruoyi hummed in agreement.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Lin Xiyin asked anxiously, "Where are you?"

"At home," Xiao Ruoyi said. "I'm not feeling unwell. I stayed up late last night and couldn't stay awake today, so I just wanted to go to bed early."

"Why are you staying up so late again?" Lin Xiyin said. "You've been working so much lately, and your schedule is so irregular. Have you not been eating properly either?"

"Eat properly." Xiao Ruoyi smiled. "Your schedule is still regular, but you're going to bed late at night."

"Come to my house tomorrow," Lin Xiyin said. "Stay here for a few days, and I'll keep an eye on you. Otherwise, I really won't feel at ease."

"I won't go," Xiao Ruoyi said, pausing for a moment. "Ruanruan, I'm so sleepy. I'll talk to you tomorrow."

After she finished speaking, she hung up the phone and went to the bathroom without waiting for Lin Xiyin's reaction.

Lin Xiyin always felt uneasy.

Xiao Ruoyi seems a bit abnormal.

She was still worried, so she went to Xiao Ruoyi's place early the next morning.

She called Xiao Ruoyi, but no one answered.

She arrived here at just past seven; she couldn't possibly go to the company right now.

Lin Xiyin wanted to tell her before going upstairs, but she didn't answer the phone, so Lin Xiyin went upstairs anyway.

When she got upstairs, she knocked on the door for a long time before there was any response.

Who is it?

Xiao Ruoyi's voice was weak and listless.

Lin Xiyin frowned, instinctively sensing that something was wrong.

She didn't speak, then thought for a moment, deliberately lowered her voice, and said, "Property management."

The door opened, and Xiao Ruoyi's face appeared in front of Lin Xiyin.

Lin Xiyin exclaimed in surprise and pushed the door open: "What's wrong with you!"

Xiao Ruoyi was startled: "Ruan Ruan? What are you doing here?"

The two hadn't seen each other for a while. Xiao Ruoyi was so thin that her chin was pointed, her face was pale, and she looked sickly and weak.

Lin Xiyin came in, closed the door, and without saying a word, helped her inside, sat her on the sofa, and then poured her some water.

Knowing she couldn't escape, Xiao Ruoyi simply stopped pretending, collapsed weakly, closed her eyes, and didn't want to move at all.

She vomited all night and felt like she was going to die.

Lin Xiyin brought her a glass of water.

Xiao Ruoyi shook her head, not even wanting to speak.

Lin Xiyin placed the water on the coffee table, sat down next to her, and looked at her: "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Have you gone to the hospital?"

Xiao Ruoyi closed her eyes and whispered, "It's okay, don't worry."

"How can I not worry when you're in this state!"

Lin Xiyin's voice was trembling with tears. Xiao Ruoyi opened her eyes and looked at her, managing a weak smile.

Seeing her like this, Lin Xiyin's mind was filled with countless unpleasant thoughts in that instant.

Sometimes people are like that; the closer the relationship, the more likely they are to overthink things when problems arise.

"Don't be afraid." Xiao Ruoyi took her hand. "I'm really fine, it's just..."

Before she could finish speaking, her stomach churned again, and she quickly got up and ran to the bathroom.

Lin Xiyin paused for a moment, then got up and followed behind her.

Then she saw Xiao Ruoyi lying next to the toilet, vomiting violently, but nothing came out.

Lin Xiyin quickly brought over a glass of water, squatted down, and gently patted her back.

Xiao Ruoyi freed one hand and waved it, then pushed her aside.

Lin Xiyin waited for a while before Xiao Ruoyi got up.

Lin Xiyin handed over the water, and Xiao Ruoyi began to rinse her mouth.

She swayed unsteadily, as if she was about to lose her balance.

Lin Xiyin supported her, her face full of worry, but at this moment, she dared not ask any questions.

"Let's go to the hospital."

Lin Xiyin just wants to take her to see a doctor right now.

Xiao Ruoyi walked into the living room and collapsed onto the sofa.

"Yiyi!" Lin Xiyin cried out anxiously, "If you don't go, I'll call an ambulance!"

"Ruan Ruan..." Xiao Ruoyi weakly pulled her back: "It's really nothing, I just... have morning sickness."

What?

Lin Xiyin suspected she was hallucinating.

"……What?"

"Morning sickness," Xiao Ruoyi said, forcing herself to speak. "I didn't have an abortion; I wanted to keep this little one. But who knew he'd be so naughty? I haven't eaten much for five or six days..."

"you!"

For a moment, Lin Xiyin didn't know what to say.

The news was so shocking that she couldn't utter a single word.

She was stunned for a while before she came to her senses.

"So, you didn't have surgery more than a month ago?"

Xiao Ruoyi didn't even have the strength to speak, she just hummed in response.

Lin Xiyin asked, "Does Huo Xianyang know?"

Xiao Ruoyi shook her head.

"you!"

Lin Xiyin didn't know whether she should be angry or shocked.

"Are you really going to torture yourself like this!" Lin Xiyin helped her up. "You haven't eaten for five or six days, aren't you afraid of starving to death! Come on, let's go to the hospital!"

"No, it's no use," Xiao Ruoyi said. "I've already been there, and I still vomit..."

“If you can’t eat, then you need an IV drip. Your body needs basic nutrition,” Lin Xiyin said. “If you collapse like this at home, no one will even know!”

Xiao Ruoyi remained motionless and silent.

Lin Xiyin squatted down next to the sofa: "Can you still walk? If not, I'll call an ambulance."

"I don't want to go to the hospital," Xiao Ruoyi said. "I don't like the smell of hospitals."

The smell made me want to vomit even more.

“Let’s go to a better hospital,” Lin Xiyin coaxed her, “the disinfectant smell is milder there.”

"I don't want to go."

Once I go there, it's very likely that the hospitalization will become a secret, and Huo Xianyang will find out then.

Lin Xiyin got angry: "If you keep doing this, believe me, I'll call Huo Xianyang right now!"

Xiao Ruoyi became obedient and went to the hospital with her.

When Lin Xiyin arrived at the hospital, she learned that Xiao Ruoyi was already more than two months pregnant.

There's really no good way to deal with severe morning sickness, but if a pregnant woman is unable to eat for an extended period, she will definitely need to receive intravenous injections to supplement the body with the basic nutrients it needs.

Lin Xiyin took her to a private maternity hospital. The environment was very nice, and the interior was decorated like a hotel.

There wasn't a particularly strong hospital disinfectant smell either.

Xiao Ruoyi fell asleep again while receiving an IV drip.

Needless to say, she hasn't been getting enough rest lately.

She has lost a lot of weight.

She's almost 1.7 meters tall, but doesn't seem to weigh 90 pounds.

Lin Xiyin sat on the edge of the bed, lost in thought.

She never expected that Xiao Ruoyi would keep the child.

She was so resolute back then, saying she didn't want the child.

But she stayed.

And they kept it a secret from Huo Xianyang.

What surprised Lin Xiyin the most was that despite her severe morning sickness, she didn't mention wanting to terminate the pregnancy.

When the doctor came over just now, he asked if I planned to terminate the pregnancy if I had severe morning sickness.

She shook her head.

Lin Xiyin had no idea what Xiao Ruoyi was thinking.

But she knew that she kept the child because of her love for Huo Xianyang.

But why did she keep it from Huo Xianyang?

She really didn't understand.

With Xiao Ruoyi like this, Lin Xiyin definitely couldn't go to work, so she took leave again and focused on taking care of her.

Xiao Ruoyi woke up around 10 a.m.

She was on an IV drip, didn't need to eat, and didn't vomit; her spirits were a little better.

"Why didn't you tell Attorney Huo?" Lin Xiyin asked. "What exactly are you planning to do?"

“I’ll raise him myself, it has nothing to do with him,” Xiao Ruoyi said. “I won’t let him know in the future.”

Lin Xiyin asked, "You haven't been in contact since he left?"

Xiao Ruoyi said, "Yes, it's completely over."

Lin Xiyin said, "Aren't you afraid he'll find out later..."

“He won’t know,” Xiao Ruoyi said. “We’re not in contact anymore, how would he know?”
