Late is Not Late

Ji Wan thought Zhou Zechuan was a light in her life. She willingly hid her brilliance and entered into a secret marriage with him for two years, content to be his kept woman. However, she didn'...

Chapter 389 Determination

"Mr. Chi?"

The subordinate keenly noticed his sudden change in mood and spoke tentatively.

Chi Lin took a deep breath and forced himself to suppress the murderous intent that was surging in his heart. "Who has that video now?"

"It's probably still in Liu Chang's hands. She doesn't seem to have decided which media outlet to sell it to, or... maybe she has some other use for it."

"Find her." Chi Lin's voice was as cold as ice. "Use every possible means to find her. I want to make her understand that there are some people she can't afford to offend."

He paused, a fierce look in his eyes.

He uttered the name slowly, each syllable carrying a chill that penetrated his bones.

"And Ji Wan, since she wants to play so much, I'll play with her."

He wanted to see who would win and who would lose in this game of revenge.

After hanging up the phone, Chi Lin threw the phone on the empty seat next to him.

Outside the car window, the lights and shadows of the city passed by quickly, but they could not illuminate the deep darkness in his eyes.

A storm targeting Liu Chang and even Ji Wan was brewing in his heart.

This time, he won't have any scruples.

When Ji Wan woke up, he felt his stomach churning and a feeling of nausea instantly rose up his throat.

She suddenly sat up in bed, covered her mouth and rushed into the bathroom.

"vomit--"

The sound of retching was heart-wrenching, as if he was going to vomit out all his internal organs.

Chi Wenyan was awakened and looked towards the bathroom with sleepy eyes. When he heard Ji Wan's painful vomiting, his sleepiness disappeared instantly.

He immediately stood up and walked quickly to the bathroom door, his voice full of worry.

"Wanwan, how are you?"

Ji Wan leaned against the toilet, her face as pale as a piece of paper, and her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat. When she heard Chi Wenyan's voice, she raised her head weakly, her voice hoarse and weak.

"I'm fine, just a little nauseous."

Chi Wenyan looked at her with pity, bent down and picked her up.

"You said you were fine, but your face looked so ugly."

He carried Ji Wan back to the bedroom and carefully placed her on the bed. "I'll get you a glass of warm water."

Ji Wan nodded and looked at Chi Wenyan's back as he hurried away. She felt full of apology in her heart because she was not feeling well and made him worry too.

The warm water was brought over quickly. Chi Wenyan helped Ji Wan sit up and gently fed her water.

"Drink slowly, be careful not to choke."

Ji Wan drank water in small sips. The warm water slowly flowed into his stomach, slightly relieving the discomfort in his stomach, but the feeling of nausea still lingered.

"I still feel like vomiting."

Ji Wan frowned and his voice was filled with tears.

Chi Wenyan's heart was in a knot. He gently stroked Ji Wan's back, trying to make her feel more comfortable.

He suggested.

"Do you want to go to the hospital?"

Ji Wan shook his head and said, "No, maybe I didn't eat anything this morning."

She forced a smile and said, "Just eat something later."

Chi Wenyan knew that she was comforting herself.

Morning sickness can't be cured by eating something, but his heart felt like it was weighed down by a heavy stone. He looked at Ji Wan's pale and weak profile, and the anxiety in his heart grew wildly like a vine.

This can't go on. He can't let Ji Wan suffer like this forever.

After Chi Wenyan settled Ji Wan, he immediately picked up his phone and went to the balcony. He began to use all his connections to find top obstetricians and gynecologists at home and abroad to ask for remedies to relieve morning sickness.

He made calls one after another, and his tone gradually changed from being polite and courteous at first to becoming anxious and even pleading. He wished he could find a magic pill immediately so that Ji Wan could recover his vitality in the next second.

While he was frantically looking for a solution, the news seemed to have wings and flew to the ears of some people with ulterior motives.

Chi Lin sat behind a large desk, a cigar between his fingertips, the scarlet flame flickering in his sinister eyes, listening to his subordinates' reports on the phone.

The corners of his mouth curled up in a cold and cruel arc.

Morning sickness?

Ji Wan is pregnant.

She is pregnant with Chi Wenyan's child.

This realization was like a poisoned dagger that pierced his heart fiercely, and then turned into a twisted pleasure. It was really God's help.

He was originally still thinking about how he could get close to Ji Wan without anyone noticing and give her that "big gift".

Now, the opportunity has come to me.

"Go contact the person we prepared earlier." Chi Lin's voice was low and dangerous. "Tell him that it's time to go out. Remember, act like an internationally renowned obstetrician and gynecologist specializing in difficult and complicated pregnancy problems."

He added.

The tone was full of unquestionable command.

A few days later, a foreign man who claimed to be a Dang doctor was introduced to Chi Wenyan through an extremely secretive and authoritative medical channel.

This doctor has a serious gray hair and wears a meticulous white coat. His conversation is full of professional terms and convincing cases.

He asked Ji Wan in detail about her morning sickness, his brows slightly furrowed, as if he was thinking seriously.

Chi Wenyan was waiting nervously on the side, like a student waiting for verdict.

"Mr. Chi, your wife's condition is indeed quite special," Dr. Dang said in Chinese with a slight accent. "Ordinary diet or medication may not be effective."

Chi Wenyan's heart sank.

"Then...is there any way, doctor?"

"I've been researching a natural supplement extracted from rare deep-sea algae lately," Dr. Dang said, changing the subject. A subtle glint flashed in his eyes.

"It is very effective in relieving severe morning sickness and improving the appetite of pregnant women. It is extracted from natural sources and has no side effects."

He emphasized.

"It's just that the raw materials are scarce and the extraction process is complicated, so the price..."

"Price is not an issue!" Chi Wenyan interrupted him immediately. He was willing to spend any amount of money as long as it could make Ji Wan feel comfortable. "As long as it's effective, any amount is fine."

Dr. Dang gave a "as expected" smile.

He took out a white porcelain bottle with simple and elegant packaging that looked very high-end from the exquisite leather suitcase he carried with him and handed it to Chi Wenyan.

"This is a sample. You can give it to Madam to try first. If it works well, you can contact my assistant to place an order later."

Chi Wenyan took the porcelain bottle as if it were a treasure and thanked him repeatedly.

That night.

Ji Wan followed Dr. Dang's instructions and took the so-called "natural supplement". The taste was a bit strange, but not unpleasant.

Unexpectedly, when I woke up the next morning, the suffocating feeling of nausea had actually eased a lot, although my stomach still felt a little uncomfortable.

But it is completely within the tolerable range.

She even took the initiative to ask for breakfast for the first time. Seeing Ji Wan eating the porridge in small mouthfuls and his face regaining some color, Chi Wenyan was so excited that his eyes were a little red.
