Chapter 157 Only Recognizes Him

Lin Xiyin just went to the first floor to pay a fee, which is a separate fee.

She was unaware that she was being followed.

The main problem is that with so many people in the hospital, she didn't notice anything at all.

She went back to her ward and chatted with Xiao Ruoyi for a while, then received a call from Chi Tianlin.

She was puzzled; why was he calling again?

She answered and said hello.

Chi Tianlin asked directly, "Where are you?"

"I'm with Yiyi," Lin Xiyin said. "I'm staying at her place tonight."

“Oh,” Chi Tianlin smiled, “How come I didn’t know that Xiao Ruoyi’s family moved to the obstetrics and gynecology department?”

Lin Xiyin's heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously looked at Xiao Ruoyi.

Xiao Ruoyi blinked, unsure of what was wrong.

Lin Xiyin turned on speakerphone and asked him, "What do you mean?"

"It means I saw you at the hospital," Chi Tianlin said. "You're outside your ward now."

Xiao Ruoyi was speechless: "Chi Tianlin, do you have super hearing or super eyesight?"

Upon hearing this, Chi Tianlin said, "Open the door."

He hung up after saying that.

Lin Xiyin went to see Xiao Ruoyi.

Xiao Ruoyi raised her chin: "They're all here, what else can we do?"

Lin Xiyin had no choice but to open the door.

Chi Tianlin was indeed waiting outside.

Lin Xiyin stepped aside to let him in and asked, "How did you know?"

As Chi Tianlin walked inside, he said, "I just saw you."

Lin Xiyin was quite helpless.

What a coincidence!

Chi Tianlin walked to the foot of the hospital bed, braced his hands on the railing, and looked down at Xiao Ruoyi: "What's wrong? Is it so serious that you need to be hospitalized?"

Xiao Ruoyi said, "Don't ask too many questions about a woman's illness."

"How come I didn't know that pregnancy was a disease?"

Xiao Ruoyi glared at him: "You already know, why are you asking!"

"I just wanted to see if you were honest," Chi Tianlin said. "Whose child is it? Huo Xianyang's?"

Lin Xiyin looked over.

Xiao Ruoyi remained unfazed: "How could that be? We broke up a long time ago."

"And what about the child's father?"

Xiao Ruoyi said, "I found the child through a sperm bank, and I don't know who the father is."

She was so serious that Chi Tianlin was momentarily unsure whether she was telling the truth or not.

After all, Xiao Ruoyi is sometimes similar to him, acting on a whim.

She's capable of doing something like that.

Lin Xiyin watched from the side, and almost burst out laughing, especially when she saw Chi Tianlin's skeptical expression.

You can actually believe that?

Xiao Ruoyi said, "Keep it a secret. Don't tell anyone I'm pregnant."

Chi Tianlin didn't answer the question, but instead asked, "You and Huo Xianyang really broke up? You're never in contact again?"

Xiao Ruoyi handed him her phone: "You can check, we broke up more than a month ago."

"A little over a month is nothing." Chi Tianlin didn't answer her phone. "A little over a month? How far along are you in your pregnancy?"

Chi Tianlin realized what was happening.

Xiao Ruoyi wanted to slap herself.

Why are you being so talkative?

Upon seeing Xiao Ruoyi's expression, Chi Tianlin knew: "The child is Huo Xianyang's, isn't it?"

Xiao Ruoyi looked at him seriously: "Chi Tianlin, if you want to consider me a friend, don't tell him."

Chi Tianlin said, "If he and I were just friends, I wouldn't have told him. Because you're all friends, I can't show favoritism. But he's still my brother... I can't help it."

Xiao Ruoyi frowned.

Lin Xiyin also spoke up: "Chi Tianlin, this is Yiyi's own business, please don't interfere."

“I can’t help it,” Chi Tianlin said. “I’m sorry. Either you, Yiyi, talk to Huo Xianyang yourself, or I’ll act as a messenger.”

Xiao Ruoyi said, "We've already broken up, is it really necessary for you to bring this up?"

Chi Tianlin said, "Then I'll ask Huo Xianyang. If he admits that you two broke up, then I won't tell him."

Xiao Ruoyi thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, ask now, put it on speakerphone."

Anyway, she had already made an agreement with Huo Xianyang, and Huo Xianyang had agreed.

Chi Tianlin made the call directly.

It's early morning abroad, and Huo Xianyang is jogging.

His voice was slightly breathless: "What's wrong?"

Chi Tianlin's mouth is never serious.

He said, "You're not busy in bed, are you? I won't bother you then."

Huo Xianyang wanted to curse: "I'm running, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Chi Tianlin had already put the phone on speakerphone, so he stopped joking with him.

He said, "What exactly is going on between you and Xiao Ruoyi?"

Let's get straight to the point.

Huo Xianyang asked in surprise, "It's been so long, and now you suddenly care about me?"

“Who cares about you?” Chi Tianlin said, “I’m afraid that you haven’t broken up with your boyfriend yet, and that you might get lonely abroad and do something to betray Xiao Ruoyi.”

Huo Xianyang said, "Could I do something to betray her?"

"Who knows?" Chi Tianlin asked. "So what's going on between you two? Have you broken up or not?"

“She wants a breakup.” Huo Xianyang said without hesitation, “You know what I’m thinking.”

"How would I know?" Chi Tianlin glanced at Xiao Ruoyi. "If you don't tell me, no one will know."

This was clearly meant for Xiao Ruoyi.

Huo Xianyang smiled and said, "Don't you know how I feel about her? In this life, she's the only one I've ever known."

Xiao Ruoyi turned her face away.

Lin Xiyin noticed that her eyes were red.

Chi Tianlin said, "Okay, that's settled then. I have something to do here, I'll call you back later."

"Wait a minute," Huo Xianyang said. "You often go to Xiyin's place, and occasionally ask her how Yiyi is doing. I don't dare to ask anyone to check, for fear that she will be unhappy if she finds out. But I really... really miss her."

Chi Tianlin smiled and said, "If you're worried, then come back."

"I'm negotiating with my family," Huo Xianyang said. "I don't want to fall out with them, because I'm afraid they won't like Yiyi anymore. Anyway, I need some time."

Chi Tianlin said, "I understand."

He hung up the phone after saying that.

The ward fell silent for a moment.

Lin Xiyin didn't know what to say.

Xiao Ruoyi's eyes were red.

In the past, even if Xiao Ruoyi was moved, she would have pretended to be indifferent.

I don't know if she's pregnant, but she's been very emotional lately.

One night I woke up in the middle of the night and inexplicably started crying.

Chi Tianlin said, "There's no other way, I can only tell him. Yiyi, all these years, he has only loved you. I know about what happened back then; he liked you back then too. The bet was only made because others egged him on. If he wasn't interested in you, he wouldn't have been interested in someone else's suggestion. He's using this as an excuse to get closer to you."

However, I was young then and didn't realize how devastating such harm could be for a young girl.

In fact, Xiao Ruoyi had already let go of that matter. She had seen and remembered how Huo Xianyang had treated her over the years.

But she really couldn't accept the attitude of Huo Xianyang's family.

Moreover, she was genuinely planning to remain childless at that time and didn't want children.

This makes it even less likely that the Huo family will be satisfied.

She might be holding a grudge, but she couldn't tell Huo Xianyang.

That's how it ended.

Xiao Ruoyi didn't speak, and closed her eyes.

Lin Xiyin actually wanted to tell Huo Xianyang, but she didn't have the right to.

She was Xiao Ruoyi's best friend. Lin Xiyin had already contacted Huo Xianyang once about Xiao Ruoyi's pregnancy.

It would be inappropriate for her to interfere again this time.

Now that Chi Tianlin knows, that's perfect.

But she couldn't show any happiness, and could only say, "Then that's the only way."

Xiao Ruoyi opened her eyes, looked at her, and gave her a look, letting her figure it out herself.

Lin Xiyin quickly wiped the corners of her mouth from her lips.

Chi Tianlin said, "Then I'll go out for a bit."

Once he was outside the ward, he called Huo Xianyang again.

Huo Xianyang didn't expect him to actually call back: "Are you that free today?"

"Let's go back to China," Chi Tianlin said. "We'll be busy with engagement, marriage, and the wedding ceremony in the future."

"What do you mean? You're getting married?" Huo Xianyang was surprised. "Your family introduced you to someone? So soon?"

"It wasn't me, it was you."

Huo Xianyang frowned: "Are you pressuring me with your family now? I've said it before, I won't go on blind dates, let alone marry into those families."

"With Xiao Ruoyi."

“That’s even more impossible.” Huo Xianyang knew his own limitations: “She won’t marry me. I plan to wait until she’s fifty and no one wants her before I propose to her. Then she’ll have no choice but to marry me.”

Chi Tianlin said, "Sure, by the time she's fifty, her son will probably have already graduated from university."

"Don't worry, she won't marry anyone else," Huo Xianyang said. "And I won't let her marry anyone else either."

Chi Tianlin said, "It's not up to you. Other people already have children."

Huo Xianyang's heart skipped a beat.

He immediately asked, "What do you mean?"

My knuckles are white because I'm gripping the phone too hard.

Chi Tianlin said, "That's why I asked you to come back. You've become a father unexpectedly."

Huo Xianyang's mind went blank.

Then my mind went blank; I couldn't think, and I couldn't hear any sound.

They don't even know what "being unexpectedly a father" means?

Xiao Ruoyi...is pregnant?

However, after she had an abortion, he was concerned about her health and the two of them did not have any intimate contact during the time she was traveling.

Once they returned to Haicheng, she said it was over.

If Xiao Ruoyi is pregnant, the child cannot be his.

After an unknown amount of time, Huo Xianyang said, "She recently had an abortion, and now she's pregnant. Isn't that bad for her health? You can hang up now, I'll ask the doctor."

At this moment, his first concern was still Xiao Ruoyi's physical condition.

Even though his heart felt like it was being torn apart, and the pain made his vision go black.

Chi Tianlin said, "You can be this stupid? She didn't miscarry, and the baby is now over two months old."

Huo Xianyang's mind went blank again.

This time, the mental blank lasted even longer.

He even felt like he couldn't understand what Chi Tianlin was saying.

Chi Tianlin knew he must be shocked, so he kindly explained, "Xiao Ruoyi wanted to give birth to the child alone and didn't want you to know at all. If I hadn't happened to be there, you would have been kept in the dark. Tell me, how should you thank me for something this big?"

It took Huo Xianyang a while to react: "You mean, Xiao Ruoyi didn't have the surgery? She's carrying my child?"

Chi Tianlin said, "Anyway, it's not mine."

Huo Xianyang's Adam's apple bobbed violently: "I'm going back to China immediately!"

Having completed his mission, Chi Tianlin knocked on the door and returned to the hospital bed: "Then I'm leaving... Wait, why are you in the hospital?"
