Chapter 101 It's as if he's the one being cuckolded.

As soon as Hao Ke finished speaking, everyone turned to look at Chi Donglin.

Chi Donglin's face turned pale almost instantly. He seemed to think he had misheard and asked again, "What did you say?"

While wiping away her tears, Hao Ke forced a smile and reached out to take Chi Donglin's hand: "Brother Donglin, we have a child! We have a child! You need to focus on your treatment; the child can't be without a father!"

Chi Donglin pulled his hand away abruptly, his voice slightly agitated: "Where did you get this child from?"

Hao Ke looked at him in disbelief: "You yelled at me? You've never yelled at me in all these years, and now you're yelling at me? And where did this child come from? Tell me, where did this child come from?"

"Chi Donglin, do you have any conscience? Why did we get married? You did those things to me, and I didn't even blame you, I still married you, and this is how you treat me?"

"My mother was right! Women who marry down never get anything good! I shouldn't have married you against all odds!"

"I'm pregnant with your child now, and you're still yelling at me?"

...

Whether out of guilt or genuine anger, Hao Ke, upon hearing Chi Donglin's furious questioning, went berserk, shouting and yelling in the ward.

No matter how crazy she went, Chi Donglin didn't respond. He just kept his eyes closed, and his constantly trembling eyelids proved how much anger he was suppressing.

Qin Suisui used to think that Hao Ke was just pretending, switching between being a manly woman and a green tea, but now she felt that Hao Ke was probably really unhappy in her marriage and had become a resentful woman.

But she got all of this herself. Wasn't the scheming that night, and the way she led the track and field team to the family compound to force him to marry her, all of that her own doing? And judging from what she just said, her mother probably didn't agree to her marrying Chi Donglin either. After all, the Chi family was indeed a bit worse off than the Hao family, but they were all from the same compound, so it didn't have to be a "marriage down" for her.

Furthermore, she clearly liked Pei Jiuyan, yet after Pei Jiuyan resolved to sever ties with her, she went to great lengths to marry Chi Donglin. Qin Suisui didn't believe she had feelings for Chi Donglin. As a woman, Qin Suisui understood the real reason without much thought.

However, this "pregnancy" was unexpected for Qin Suisui.

But that doesn't make sense either. They've only been married for less than a month. How could Hao Ke know she was pregnant? Even if her "scheme" that night had succeeded, it's been almost a month. It's not like she found out she was pregnant that quickly, is it?

Qin Suisui thought this to herself and asked it aloud. Pei Jiuyan and the other two were taken aback. They were men, but they were not naive. They naturally knew what Qin Suisui meant.

Qin Suisui's question only fueled Hao Ke's anger: "Qin Suisui, what do you mean? Why are you everywhere!"

"What business is it of yours what I do with Donglin?!"

"I was just raising a reasonable suspicion." Qin Suisui shrugged. "Are you unwilling to talk about it because you feel guilty?"

Qin Suisui admitted that she really disliked Hao Ke and couldn't talk to her properly. Before coming to Qiongtan Island, her mother repeatedly told her to watch her mouth, and she could do it most of the time, but she just couldn't hold back when facing Hao Ke.

"Why would I feel guilty? Don't I know my own body? If you don't believe me, take my pulse. Don't you pride yourself on your medical skills?" Hao Ke not only wasn't guilty, but also generously extended her hand for her to take her pulse.

Qin Suisui immediately became suspicious. Could she really be pregnant? But looking at Chi Donglin's expression, it didn't seem like it...

She glanced at Chi Donglin again, and Chi Donglin suppressed the anger in his eyes and nodded at her.

This means they agreed to let her take their pulse.

Qin Suisui didn't hesitate either. She grabbed Hao Ke's arm and started to caress it carefully. She cared for a while, and the longer she cared, the more her brows furrowed.

Hao Ke's expression grew increasingly smug.

Song Yunlai was extremely anxious: "Sister, what's going on? Are you pregnant or not?"

Qin Suisui checked again. Although the pulse was very weak, it was indeed... a pregnancy pulse.

She nodded with difficulty to Chi Donglin.

Chi Donglin's originally dark complexion turned pale instantly.

Seeing his expression, everyone else understood. Qin Suisui pulled Pei Jiuyan, who in turn pulled Song Yunlai, and the three of them left the ward together.

Standing outside the inpatient building, Song Yunlai kicked a tree by the roadside, muttering indignantly, "I never expected Hao Ke to turn out like this! What a waste of Dong Lin's deep affection for her!"

Qin Suisui was genuinely curious: "That night...nothing really happened?"

Pei Jiuyan glanced at her, but Song Yunlai couldn't keep it to herself: "Donglin blacked out that day, how could he do anything? Sister, don't be fooled. Some men do bad things and say they were drunk, but actually they just had wicked intentions and blamed the alcohol. A person who is truly blacked out can't get an erection... Um, cough cough cough... Why don't you let Ayan tell you..." Seeing Pei Jiuyan's increasingly dark face, Song Yunlai realized what she had said.

Qin Suisui was also a little embarrassed, but gossip was more important: "But Hao Ke is indeed pregnant. Judging from her pulse, she is indeed about a month pregnant. If it's not Donglin's child, then..."

Pei Jiuyan tugged at her hand: "You've already been tricked once in your marriage. If you still can't understand this, then it's your own choice."

Song Yunlai also sighed.

In fact, when Chi Donglin married Hao Ke, Pei Jiuyan and Song Yunlai did try to dissuade him, saying that Hao Ke's reasons for forcing him into marriage made it difficult for their relationship to last.

But Chi Donglin said he still wanted to take the gamble, at least to give an explanation for his feelings over the years.

"That's it, now I've been turned into a cuckold!" Song Yunlai stomped his feet in frustration, as if he himself had been the one turned into a cuckold.

No matter how good their relationship is, they can't get involved in matters of the heart.

Pei Jiuyan drove the two of them back directly. Song Yunlai wanted to go back to take a shower and rest, and they would go over to check on them again in the afternoon.

When we got home, it was only a little past ten o'clock, and Zan Zan had already gone to daycare with Xiao Li and Liang Liang.

Qin Suisui pulled Pei Jiuyan into the room and ripped off his shirt.

Pei Jiuyan was somewhat surprised by her initiative. Just as he was about to move closer, Qin Suisui slapped his upper arm: "Be serious, don't move around!"

Pei Jiuyan laughed in exasperation: "You've already taken off my clothes, so who's being indecent here?"

Qin Suisui frowned: "I just asked Brother Donglin, and he said that when he fell into the sea, he did feel something bite him, but he was seriously injured at the time, and the pain from his wound was greater than the pain from being bitten, so he is not sure. I need to take your pulse."

Seeing her serious expression, Pei Jiuyan stopped joking and obediently extended his hand. He had never questioned her professionalism.

Pei Jiuyan's pulse was quite different from Chi Donglin's and Wen Lian's; there was nothing unusual about it, but it was also quite different from his previous pulse.

"Pei Jiuyan, are you going on a mission during this period?"

She suddenly asked a question that startled Pei Jiuyan. After thinking for a moment, he shook his head: "Normally, unless there are special circumstances, a person shouldn't be sent on two major missions in a row."

"Okay, then I'll take your pulse every day from now on."

Qin Suisui knew that some poisons manifest slowly over time. The reason why Wen Lian and Chi Donglin showed such obvious symptoms was because they had already suffered severe bleeding from their injuries, making them weaker than normal. In addition, the use of hemostatic drugs would accelerate the spread of the poison in their bodies, making it easy to detect.

But Pei Jiuyan is different. He was not injured and his health has always been good. Perhaps the poison has not yet spread... In any case, we need to observe him closely. Of course, it would be best if he was not poisoned!

After taking her pulse, Qin Suisui went to catch up on her sleep. Pei Jiuyan had somehow gotten some sweet potatoes that had sprouted, and he was currently hoeing the ground next to the well in the backyard. Qin Suisui had mentioned wanting to plant some sweet potatoes that morning, and he immediately got to work.

When Qin Suisui woke up, it was already past three in the afternoon, and the sweet potatoes had already been planted. The large watermelon that she had left in the kitchen had been chilled in the well by Pei Jiuyan for a while. Now, when she picked it up and cut it open, the cool and refreshing taste was so pleasant that she couldn't stop eating it.

When she was eating the third piece, Pei Jiuyan stopped her: "You didn't eat lunch, and now you're eating something so cold. You'll feel uncomfortable next time you have your period."

Qin Suisui frowned: "It's too hot, I don't want to eat." Perhaps due to an illness she had as a child, Qin Suisui was extremely sensitive to heat. Every year during the hottest months of July and August in Jiangcheng, she basically couldn't eat, surviving only on fruit. She would lose over ten pounds every year during those two months. Because of this, her parents went to great lengths every year to get her to eat more.

Pei Jiuyan obviously knew about this, and even Zan Zan knew, otherwise he wouldn't have saved up all his pocket money to buy her soda and popsicles.

It's already the end of July, and Qin Suisui thought that this year, with the stream water helping her stay healthy, things wouldn't be like in previous years.

Unexpectedly, her appetite has continued to decline day by day. If it weren't for the seafood and fruit from her space every day, her weight would have plummeted again, just like in previous years.

"Do you want to eat coconut rice?" Pei Jiuyan squatted down next to her, touching her thinner cheeks, feeling extremely distressed.

"Coconut rice? How do you make it?" Qin Suisui became interested when she heard about the new dish.

"It's made with coconuts and glutinous rice. I'm going to the brigade to pick a few coconuts now. Wait for me at home." Pei Jiuyan said, getting up to put on his clothes and push his bicycle.

Qin Suisui jumped up, put the remaining half of the watermelon into a small basket, and covered it with a coarse cloth: "I'll go with you. I need to check on the herbs in the medicinal herb garden and also check on Sister Yunyi. She was bitten by a snake a couple of days ago and was also frightened by Zhou Zecheng. I don't know how she is. I need to go and see her."

Pei Jiuyan frowned: "Zhou Zecheng? He's bothering you again?"
