Chapter 49: Xia Cheng buys a pregnancy test and is caught by Yu Jingyuan

At eight o'clock on Sunday morning, the two people who had stayed up all night got up with difficulty. They first performed a rolling trick on each other, then let out a loud roar and got up to wash.

Chen Kelin's interview was at 9:30. Since the distance was only three or four kilometers, the two of them rushed over slowly and arrived fifteen minutes early.

At about noon, Chen Kelin finished the interview and went home to wait for notification.

As soon as she got home, Chen Kelin hurried to the bathroom. When she came out, she was lying on the sofa, holding her lower abdomen.

"Luckily I put on a sanitary napkin before leaving. Sure enough, it came. My stomach hurts so much... Let's order takeout for lunch, Orange~"

Seeing that no one answered, Chen Kelin called out to Xia Cheng again. Still no answer, she raised her head to look for someone, and saw Xia Cheng sitting on the other side of the sofa, holding her phone in both hands, with a look on her face.

"What's wrong?" Chen Kelin sat up. "Your period has come too? I think our period is about the same."

Xia Cheng shook his head stiffly.

"No...it seems, it's been postponed..."

"I'm often late too, don't worry too much. It could be because you recently had an injury and haven't been getting enough nutrition. You're also overworked and stayed up late last night, which has disrupted your endocrine system. Maybe if you eat something warm and nutritious, you'll get your period in a few days."

Can you come in a few days?

Xia Cheng wasn't quite sure. She hadn't been paying attention to herself recently, so her period should have come in early July, but now it was delayed for half a month!

And she, had sex last month.

Even if they took the medicine, there was no guarantee that no one would slip through the net. The situation was too complicated at the time and they didn't have time to wear a condom at all.

Xia Cheng now thinks that she was too careless. How could she have forgotten such an important thing?!

Now that her period has been delayed, Xia Cheng feels anxious and short of breath. She checked online and found that the probability of this happening is indeed very high. If it is an ectopic pregnancy, there is a risk of heavy bleeding even with the injection.

She touched her belly, as if there was already an embryo there, and her arms couldn't help but tremble. By then, it wouldn't just be her problem, the whole family would know what happened between her and Yu Jingyuan.

How is that possible?

Her plans would be forced to end.

So no matter what, she had to abort the child.

After thinking for a moment, Xia Cheng stood up, looking calm, and picked up her bag.

"What do you want to eat? I left my lipstick in a taxi and just asked the driver to bring it back to me. I'm going down to get it now and I'll buy you some food while I'm at it."

Xia Cheng's concealment of the truth did not mean that she did not truly consider Chen Kelin as a friend. She just needed some time to calm down alone.

When she heard that Chen Kelin wanted to eat beef fried rice noodles, she agreed and almost ran away.

The door was closed with a "bang". Chen Kelin rubbed her hair and lay back down.

Pregnancy test sticks are sold in most places. There is a pharmacy downstairs from Chen Kelin's house. Xia Cheng passed by and took a look inside. She only bought a mask and chose to take a taxi to go somewhere else.

She would come to Chen Kelin's house again in the future, and she didn't want to leave any information here. It would be best to go to a place where she didn't know anyone.

The taxi drove for about fifteen minutes and Xia Cheng stopped in front of the city hospital. There were many cooperating pharmacies around. She planned to buy a pregnancy test stick and go straight to the hospital bathroom. If the test came back positive, she would go to the obstetrics and gynecology department. This kind of thing could not be delayed at all, and making plans early would make people feel more at ease.

However, her plan was interrupted.

Even with a mask on, someone still recognized her. As Xia Cheng was checking out with her mask on, she suddenly heard someone calling her name.

"Miss Xia?"

She turned her head in response and met a pair of light-colored eyes with a faint smile and a bit of frivolity. After seeing what she was holding in her hand, he looked at her meaningfully.

Xia Cheng's arms stiffened. She dropped them without hiding. It was obviously too late to pretend not to know him now. She shouldn't have turned her head away.

"Hello, Mr. Wan."

The person in front of him was Wan Ke.

"Miss Xia, are you here to buy a pregnancy test stick as well? I don't know which one is suitable for early pregnancy testing. Could you help me choose one?"

"What are you buying this for?"

"I bought it for someone else." He smiled frankly. Xia Cheng pointed to a brand casually and saw him take three boxes.

Is it necessary to buy so much of this kind of stuff?

Meeting her puzzled gaze, Wan Ke explained, "I'm sorry to bother you. My ex-girlfriend said she was pregnant, and my current girlfriend also said she was pregnant. They're both waiting for me at the hotel, waiting for me to buy it back."

Xia Cheng felt like she was intruding into someone else's privacy, so she waved her hand.

"Then go quickly."

Wan Ke paid the bill and was still waiting for Xia Cheng at the door. Xia Cheng walked out with her head held high. Wan Ke took out a box of pregnancy test sticks from the white plastic bag and handed it to Xia Cheng.

"I saw Miss Xia just took this but didn't pay for it. I'll give it to you. Don't be embarrassed. Excuse me, why didn't the child's father come with you? It's really irresponsible to let a lady buy this alone!"

Xia Cheng thought, you have a strong sense of responsibility, too strong. You have to be responsible for two women and worry about her at the same time.

She didn't answer, but frowned and smiled insincerely.

"I'm just looking around, out of curiosity. Besides, I haven't had any children yet, so I don't have any fathers."

"Okay then." Wan Ke was not embarrassed. The education he received since childhood made him thicker-skinned than a city wall. He took the initiative to put the pregnancy test stick into Xia Cheng's hand, as if he guessed that Xia Cheng was embarrassed to buy it because of him.

Of course Xia Cheng didn't want it. She would never admit that she was pregnant in front of a stranger, so she gave it back. The two of them stood at the door of the store and pushed each other. When she asked him to give way, the box in her hand was suddenly slapped away and fell two meters away.

Both of them were stunned.

"I'm sorry."

Wan Ke stepped forward and picked it up. His attempt to get the question failed. Not only did he fail to confirm whether Xia Cheng was pregnant, he also failed to find out whether the child had a father.

In fact, what he was thinking was that if he didn't have a father, he might as well let his cheap cousin Wan Lu be the father.

Wan Ke also secretly investigated Xia Cheng. She was beautiful, smart, and had a good family background. As long as his brother liked her, raising a child was no big deal.

He squinted his eyes and picked up the pregnancy test stick on the ground, but another hand picked it up first, looked at it for a while, and then gave it back to him.

"Thanks."

Wan Ke put it in his bag and turned around to talk to Xia Cheng, but he saw that she looked embarrassed, as if she had met an acquaintance. She was even more flustered than when she rejected him, and immediately put on her mask.

Wan Ke said, "Hmm?"

Looking at the man who helped her pick up the things, she found that he had already walked to Xia Cheng's side.

He was carrying a computer bag and wearing a suit. He looked like a clerk in a company. He was quite handsome, but he was far inferior to his brother.

Xia Cheng has met his brother, how could he still like someone else?

He felt relieved and planned to leave.

But I heard the man behind me ask in a panic:

"Are you pregnant?"

Wan Ke smelled gossip.

He stopped again, turned back, stood between the two of them, straightened his back, and asked suspiciously:

"Is the child yours?"
