Chapter 164: Incorrect Pregnancy Date
Upon hearing Bai Zhi's words, Li Li's face turned pale in an instant.
This woman.........
Although Bai Zhi had given him a heads-up, Ye Tiandong still felt somewhat uncomfortable hearing his niece talking about the topic so seriously.
But Bai Zhi's face was quite serious at this moment, and she exuded a professional and rigorous aura. Ye Tiandong stopped being coy.
They also began to take her words seriously.
He squinted, his mind racing for a moment, and then gave a negative answer: "No, I was out collecting medicinal herbs on the sixth day of the fourth month, not in Bincheng."
Bai Zhi asked in surprise, "Huh?"
"Xiao Zhi, you must have miscalculated." Although Ye Tiandong trusted Bai Zhi's medical skills, he didn't believe that Bai Zhi was that comprehensive.
Furthermore, even that person had never mentioned before that the date of a woman's pregnancy could be diagnosed by taking her pulse.
“Uncle, you can’t be wrong.” Bai Zhi looked at him with a confident expression. “Don’t you believe the medical skills my grandfather taught me? I do have some skills. Taking the pulse and diagnosing a pregnant woman is the most basic professional ability.”
Ye Tiandong still felt that Bai Zhi had made a mistake, and he explained with great certainty, "But I was indeed not in Bincheng on the sixth day of the fourth month."
"Huh?" Bai Zhi looked at Li Li with a strange expression and a meaningful look.
Li Li's expression at this moment could no longer be described as panicked.
She grew anxious, "Xiao Zhi, what do you mean by that? Don't deliberately use your half-baked medical skills!"
Bai Zhi shrugged. "Aunt, don't get angry. I'm just speaking based on the pulse diagnosis."
Bai Zhi's expression was open and honest. Li Li looked at Ye Tiandong cautiously, afraid that he would listen to Bai Zhi's words. Her eyes flickered slightly, and she let out a soft "Oh dear," and began to act coquettishly, "Brother Dong, I'm not feeling well. I want to rest for a while."
Li Li clutched her lower back, looking pained. Ye Tiandong immediately became anxious. "I'll help you to the second-floor lounge to rest for a while. We'll go back after we finish eating."
"Xiao Zhi, you two eat first."
"Okay, Uncle."
Ye Tiandong helped Li Li out the door and into the lounge.
As soon as they entered, Li Li started crying while hugging Ye Tiandong.
"Brother Dong, what exactly does your niece mean? From the moment she saw me, she's been making sarcastic remarks and targeting me. Now, under the pretext of taking my pulse, she's openly trying to sow discord between us. What she just said was an insult to me."
Li Li sobbed, heartbroken. "Who can tell the date of pregnancy just by taking a pulse? Besides, she's an unmarried woman, and she said these things without blushing or skipping a beat. She doesn't know what kind of environment she lived in before. I feel she's so open-minded, without any feminine modesty or self-respect."
She wiped away her tears and sneered, "People with dirty minds see everything as dirty."
Upon hearing her words, Ye Tiandong's expression hardened slightly. "Lili, don't say that about Xiaozhi. She may not be accurate in taking the pulse, but you can't doubt her character and conduct because of that."
Ye Tiandong's attitude hurt Li Li even more. Tears streaming down her face, she cried, "Brother Dong, after you had your niece, you actually sided with her and criticized me! I'm pregnant with your child! Your actions have hurt me so much."
“Honey, I didn’t mean anything by it. You’re the elder, so please be more tolerant of her in the future. She’s suffered a lot in the countryside. We are her family, so we should take good care of her. Don’t get angry with her over such a small thing.”
After Ye Tiandong finished speaking, he got up from the bedside and said, "Alright, you lie down and rest for a while. I'm going to have dinner with them."
When Li Li heard that Ye Tiandong was actually going to have dinner with them, a look of panic flashed across her eyes, and she reached out and grabbed his hand.
"Brother Dong, I'm not feeling well, could you not go and stay with me instead?"
Li Li held onto Ye Tiandong's hand tightly, looking at him with watery eyes, and said coquettishly, "Please, please, the child wants Daddy to be with him too."
Ye Tiandong looked troubled. "Lili, be sensible. This is Xiaozhi and Lu Ye's first time eating at our restaurant. They've only eaten half of their meal. If I don't go and keep them company, what will Xiaozhi think of me as her uncle?"
"But........"
Ye Tiandong withdrew his hand, still intending to leave. "Xiao Zhi just said that you are fine and the baby is doing well. You should lie down and rest. I'll have Sister Cui come up to keep you company."
Li Li saw that her attempts to charm him were completely ineffective. Even when she brought up the child, Ye Tiandong remained unmoved and insisted on continuing to eat with Bai Zhi and the others.
She bit her lip, a flash of resentment in her eyes.
It turns out that in Ye Tiandong's heart, Bai Zhi, that so-called niece who appeared out of nowhere, was more important than her, his wife.
That devil was right; Ye Tiandong didn't take her seriously at all.
She's just someone's amusement.
She rose to power based on her looks, but her position in Ye Tiandong's heart was far from secure.
Li Li quickly concealed the strangeness on her face, sat up, and put on an understanding, gentle and virtuous expression, "Then I'll go with you. I rested for a while and I feel much better."
"No need, you can just lie down and rest."
Li Li grabbed Ye Tiandong's arm and suddenly became understanding, "How can I not use it? I am your wife and Xiaozhi's aunt. I can't be impolite. I was really not feeling well just now and came in to rest because I was afraid something might happen to the child."
She looked at Ye Tiandong with teary eyes, her expression incredibly sincere, "Brother Dong, you have no idea how much I care about our child. You're already in your thirties, and my biggest wish is for you to become a father smoothly and soon."
Li Li's words deeply moved Ye Tiandong.
He is indeed not young anymore.
Children of my peers are already in elementary school.
Li Li is eight years younger than him. She got pregnant after marrying him, and he cherishes her and the child in her womb.
He touched Li Li's hand and smiled, "My wife is so good."
...
After Ye Tiandong and Li Li went out, Bai Zhi continued eating as usual and gestured for Lu Ye to eat more.
Lu Ye picked up a piece of chicken and put it in his mouth. He ate it slowly and deliberately, then looked at Bai Zhi and said, "Xiao Bai, Auntie seemed a bit strange just now."
"Hmm? What's so strange about it?" Bai Zhi asked, raising an eyebrow as she ate her food.
Lu Ye: "The micro-expressions are off."
He glanced in the direction of the door and whispered, "He seems very guilty."
Upon hearing his words, Bai Zhi looked at him with a strange expression and laughed, "Wow, Company Commander Lu, you even know about this?"
"I've studied it."
