Zhang Yanhua was still warmly greeting Xiao Zhengyan, "Dad! I've already instructed the servants to prepare lunch..."
Just then, a servant walked past Zhang Yanhua carrying a plate of durians.
That strange, sweet smell wafted past Zhang Yanhua's nose.
Zhang Yanhua had a bad feeling; the nausea she had been suppressing could no longer be contained.
Her stomach churned violently, and vomit mixed with acid gushed out, which, by sheer coincidence, landed right on Xiao Linran's neck, who was standing opposite her.
"Oh my god! Zhang Yanhua, what are you doing? Oh my god, what is this? It's disgusting!" Xiao Linran touched his hand with vomit and almost threw up.
"Ugh! Ugh, ugh!" Zhang Yanhua wanted to explain but couldn't say a word. She vomited so hard that she felt dizzy and almost vomited blood.
"Yanhua, what's wrong with you!" Xiao Zhengyan was also completely bewildered.
"Someone, quickly help your second young mistress up!"
"Did you eat something bad? Quickly, get Dr. Zhao here!"
No, don't see a doctor! She can't see a doctor, otherwise her pregnancy will be exposed.
"I'm fine, I don't need to see a doctor..." Zhang Yanhua struggled to stand up, trying to stop the doctor from being called.
But before she could finish her sentence, she vomited again.
"Ugh, ugh, ugh!"
"You're saying you're fine after all this? Go and call Dr. Zhao over right now!" Xiao Zheng said sternly, leaving no room for argument.
"Linran, hurry up and help Yanhua back to rest!" Xiao Zhengyan frowned in displeasure as he looked at Xiao Linran, who was still rubbing his neck and had an indifferent expression.
"Help her? Me?" Xiao Linran looked at Zhang Yanhua, who was vomiting profusely, with a troubled expression.
"If it's not you, then who is it?" Xiao Zhengyan said irritably.
Despite Zhang Yanhua's repeated attempts to stop her, she was ultimately unable to prevent the private doctor from arriving.
Zhang Yanhua lay on the bed, despairingly letting the doctor draw blood for testing.
After a series of tests, the doctor finally confirmed the result.
"Congratulations, sir! Congratulations, young master and madam! The second young mistress is pregnant, and the fetus is very healthy. Morning sickness is a common reaction during pregnancy. I'll prescribe some nutritional supplements for her later!"
"What? Doctor, are you serious? Is Yan Hua really pregnant?" Xiao Zhengyan asked with a look of surprise and delight.
"That's exactly what the test results show. Congratulations, sir!"
Unexpectedly, the good news came so suddenly that Xiao Zhengyan was almost moved to tears.
He lost his eldest son at a young age, and his eldest grandson didn't acknowledge him. This child was the first grandchild to grow up by his side, so how could he not be overjoyed?
"Yanhua, why didn't you tell me you were pregnant sooner? You've been taking care of so many things. What if you overwork yourself?" Xiao Zhengyan said with concern, sitting on a chair by the bed.
Zhang Yanhua, on the other hand, lowered her head with a guilty look on her face.
"What? Pregnant?" Xiao Linran hadn't even reacted yet. "You're not kidding me, are you?"
"Young Master is so funny. The test results show that Young Madam is indeed pregnant, and she's been pregnant for over two months. Congratulations, you're going to be a father soon!" Dr. Zhao, unaware of the situation, thought he was just overjoyed.
"Pregnant? How could she be pregnant?" He hadn't had sex with Zhang Yanhua for six months, how could she be pregnant? And more than two months pregnant at that.
Could it be that...?
Xiao Linran stared at Zhang Yanhua in shock, while Zhang Yanhua guiltily avoided his gaze.
With Zhang Yanhua's performance, what else doesn't she know?
Could it be that Zhang Yanhua, that bitch, cheated on him? Yes, that must be it. No wonder Zhang Yanhua has been acting so strangely lately, calling him back every few days. It turns out she wants him to be her dumping boyfriend!
He won't let Zhang Yanhua get away with this, that bitch!
Xiao Linran was so angry his hair almost stood on end. He had just exposed that the child wasn't his, but Xiao Zhengyan interrupted him.
"How could she be pregnant? Who else should I ask if not you? If it weren't for you, could Yanhua have gotten pregnant?" Xiao Zhengyan slapped Xiao Linran on the head without any politeness.
Xiao Zhengyan had no doubts about Zhang Yanhua in this matter, after all, in his heart, this daughter-in-law had always been honest and simple.
Zhang Yanhua lay on the bed, her hands gripping the sheets tightly, her heart pounding in her chest. She knew that Xiao Linran already knew the child wasn't his.
At this moment, she felt an intense hatred for Chen Yunmo. If it weren't for his seduction, she wouldn't have ended up in this situation.
What should she do now? She's been married into the Xiao family for so many years and knows the old man's temper better than anyone.
Although the old man appears kind and gentle on the surface, he is actually the most ruthless and cruel person.
If he finds out she's cheated on the Xiao family, she'll be in deep trouble; being kicked out of the house would be the least of her worries.
Grandpa won't kill me, will he?
The thought suddenly popped into Zhang Yanhua's mind, startling her so much that her face turned pale.
"Dad, this child really isn't..." Xiao Linran hurriedly tried to explain.
"What do you mean, 'not'?" Xiao Zhengyan glared coldly at Xiao Linran.
"I know you and Advantech haven't had a good relationship, but even a day as husband and wife is worth a hundred days of kindness. You can't disown your own child!"
"Now you're finally going to be a father, the Xiao family will finally have a successor, and I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. You must be more composed in the future and take good care of Gu Yanhua and the child, so that I can face the ancestors of the Xiao family after I die." Xiao Zhengyan patted Xiao Linran's shoulder earnestly.
Xiao Linran wanted to explain that the child was not his at all, but a bastard child from who-knows-where.
But Xiao Zhengyan's words, "There will be a successor," choked him back down.
Does the old man mean he's going to hand over the Xiao family to him?
The old man always complained that he didn't have any legitimate children. Although this child was an illegitimate child, if he could successfully inherit the Xiao family, it wouldn't be impossible to keep him.
Once the old man dies, he can do whatever he wants with this child.
In that split second, Xiao Linran made up his mind not to expose the fact that the child was illegitimate.
"Yes, Dad! I understand!" Xiao Linran nodded obediently, acknowledging that the child was his.
Xiao Zhengyan nodded in satisfaction.
"Alright! Let's go out first! Let Yanhua get some rest!" Xiao Zhengyan said.
“Yes, Dad!” Xiao Linran nodded.
"Dr. Zhao, is Yanhua alright?" Xiao Zhengyan couldn't help but ask Dr. Zhao again.
"Grandpa, don't worry! The second young mistress is fine. Just relax, don't put too much pressure on yourself, and get some rest."
Zhang Yanhua only breathed a sigh of relief after everyone had left; she had almost peed her pants in fright.
Xiao Linran had clearly discovered it just now, but he didn't expose her. I wonder what he was up to. But at least this ordeal is over.
