Chapter 51 Lin Xuesha learns she is pregnant

Jiang Ranxing wasn't just talking about drinking at the banquet earlier.

It also means that over the past ten years, she has indeed been degrading herself for loving Fu Shenyuan so much that her body and soul are full of scars.

Jiang Ranxing quietly talked about his own affairs.

“When I was pregnant with Yiyi, my body became more and more uncomfortable from the beginning of my pregnancy,” Jiang Ranxing said, smiling at Wen Qingrang. “You men probably can’t understand this.”

Wen Qingrang remained silent, letting Jiang Ranxing continue speaking.

“I have blood problems; I have severe anemia and platelet dysfunction, which are incurable.”

"After I got pregnant, my anemia became more severe. No matter how nutritious and iron-enriching the food was, it didn't help. Later, I could only drink the iron supplements that the hospital prescribed for me."

Jiang Ranxing thought of the incredibly unpleasant-tasting iron supplement. Every sip felt like swallowing a knife. She didn't want to drink it at all, but for Fu Xingyi's sake, she gritted her teeth and forced herself to drink it.

"I drank it throughout my entire pregnancy, but even so, my body still couldn't handle another little life competing with me for nutrients."

Jiang Ranxing's pregnancy can be described as extremely painful.

"Unlike some pregnant women who may not have any symptoms from the beginning of their pregnancy and have a smooth delivery, I am not pregnant at all."

“I had particularly severe pregnancy symptoms from the early stages of my pregnancy,” Jiang Ranxing paused and said, “I had every kind of reaction you can imagine.”

Nausea and vomiting were just the most basic reactions; she also lost her hair, had edema, was listless all day, depressed, and hopeless about life.

What kept Jiang Ranxing going at that time was the baby in her belly, who had a life connection with Fu Shenyuan, namely Fu Xingyi.

"And so, more than nine months passed, and I finally transformed from a healthy and lively young girl into a sick and pregnant mother who was about to give birth."

Jiang Ranxing added, "Later, I risked my life to give birth to Yiyi, and my illness became even more pronounced."

Jiang Ranxing looked at Wen Qingrang and said, "So when you ask me if I understand my own constitution, I actually understand it better than anyone else."

She soberly stated, "I just loved the wrong person, did the wrong thing, and demeaned myself."

Jiang Ranxing's heartache permeated the air of the entire ward, and even Wen Qingrang seemed to be able to sense it.

Jiang Ranxing was well aware of her own body and how much effort she had put in to give birth to the child.

Unfortunately, Fu Shenyuan didn't care about any of this. Even when Fu Xingyi was born, Fu Shenyuan was still abroad, paying for Lin Xuesha's new design.

Jiang Ranxing then thought, even if Fu Shenyuan knew all along, what could he do? He wouldn't have any pity for her.

She had always known, but she was just deceiving herself.

Now, she can no longer deceive herself; she has no choice but to accept these cruel realities.

“Mrs. Fu, you don’t need to be too sad. Shen Yuan is just a bit cold,” Wen Qingrang said.

Jiang Ranxing laughed after hearing this, then shook his head violently, unable to control his sadness.

"He's not cold, nor is he incapable of love; he just doesn't love me."

Jiang Ranxing closed her eyes, feeling still very tired. She whispered a thank you to Wen Qingrang.

"Mr. Wen, could you please pass on a message to my sister, telling her I'm at the hospital and asking her to come over?"

Jiang Ranxing opened her phone and dialed Mia's number. She was too tired to speak.

"Okay," Wen Qingrang replied, picked up the phone, and walked out of the ward.

Through the window, Wen Qingrang watched as Jiang Ranxing fell asleep again.

Wen Qingrang told Mia about the hospital situation, including the ward number, except for the fact that she was pregnant.

Wen Qingrang waited for Mia at the hospital, handed Jiang Ranxing's phone to Mia, and then drove away.

He sent Lin Xuesha a message.

[See you at our usual spot tonight, number 209. I'll be waiting for you.]

Lin Xuesha replied to the message shortly after.

See you later.

A glint of light flashed in Wen Qing's eyes.

After having dinner with Fu Shenyuan, Lin Xuesha excused herself and left, saying she had something to do at her company.

Lin Xuesha changed into a casual outfit and drove herself to the usual spot Wen Qingrang had mentioned.

Upon entering private room number 209, Lin Xuesha lazily sat down on the sofa, crossed her legs, and completely abandoned her usual elegant goddess image.

Wen Qingrang was no longer surprised by her behavior.

"Can't you tone it down a bit in front of me, Miss Lin?"

Lin Xuesha chuckled, thinking she had heard a joke. She lit a cigarette, took two puffs, and then exhaled a string of smoke rings.

"It's exhausting pretending with me. You know what I'm like, and I know what you're like. Just be natural. So, what do you want?"

Lin Xuesha continued to puff on her cigarette, and soon the private room was filled with the smell of tobacco.

Wen Qingrang sat down opposite Lin Xuesha and asked, "What did your assistant find out? Do you know anything about it?"

“You mean Xiao Yu?” Lin Xuesha said. “Jiang Ranxing is having a routine check-up at the hospital and is still asleep. What could possibly be wrong with him?”

Lin Xuesha originally thought that Xiao Yu would hear some rumors by secretly going to the hospital, but nothing came of it.

Wen Qingrang paused for a moment, then slowly said, "So, did you know that Jiang Ranxing is pregnant?"

Lin Xuesha's hand, which was smoking, suddenly stopped in mid-air. Her head turned mechanically, and she glared fiercely at Wen Qingrang.

"What did you say? Jiang Ranxing is pregnant!" Her face instantly lost all color, turning into anger.

Lin Xuesha never expected this. "But Xiao Yu looked at the medical records, and they didn't mention that she was pregnant."

“That’s because I hid it,” Wen Qingrang said calmly. “I know the director of that private hospital.”

Lin Xuesha asked incredulously, "You? You did it? Why did you do that?"

Wen Qingrang smiled and said, "Didn't you ask me to help you? How could you forget?"

It took Lin Xuesha a moment to understand what Wen Qingrang meant.

Lin Xuesha smiled, a very charming smile. She stubbed out her cigarette in the ashtray, slowly walked to Wen Qingrang's side, and sat on his lap.

Lin Xuesha put her arm around Wen Qingrang's shoulder and hugged him, while rubbing her body against him.

“You still like me after all, Wen Qingrang,” Lin Xuesha thought her charm was working again. “Then why didn’t you accept me in the first place? If you had accepted me, I would be your wife.”

Wen Qingrang simply pried her hands apart, without making any intimate moves.

Lin Xuesha was slightly taken aback.

She only heard Wen Qingrang say calmly, "I'm just telling you this. What you do with it is your business and has nothing to do with me."

Wen Qingrang pushed Lin Xuesha aside and sat on the other side.
