Chapter 157 Pregnant women should not drink iced drinks
Hearing a loud bang, Su Xi tried to open her eyes, only to find that her eyelids were so heavy that she didn't even have the strength to move them.
A bone-chilling cold enveloped her, and after shivering violently several times, she sank into a quagmire of darkness.
Feng Jue kicked open the door, searched the wine cellar but couldn't find Su Xi, and grabbed the bodyguard by the collar, demanding, "Where is she?"
The moment he finished speaking, the man noticed a hidden door, walked over, and pushed it open with trembling hands.
Seeing Su Xi collapse to the ground, curled up like a cat, her lips turning bluish-purple, the man's pupils suddenly contracted. He unbuttoned his coat and draped it over the woman, wrapped her up, and bent down to pick her up.
When the old man and his entourage arrived, they saw Feng Jue openly embracing his niece-in-law, and they were so angry that they nearly fainted.
Taking a deep breath, the master commanded, "Feng Jue, put this woman down."
"Dad, didn't you see Su Xi faint?"
“Anyone can faint, right? Just close your eyes. I think she did it…” Meeting a pair of murderous eyes, Liu Yufeng swallowed the rest of her words.
“Jinchen will be here soon. What kind of behavior is it for you to carry her? Let Jinchen carry her.”
"You can wait, but Su Xi can't."
The old man's beard trembled. "She almost killed you."
“Dad, this whole thing started because of you, and you really know how to shirk responsibility. I won’t pursue this matter, but if you continue to treat Su Xi so harshly in the future, I can’t guarantee what I will do.”
After saying that, he turned and left.
"You, you unfilial son."
Seeing that the old man was quite angry and the halo of the perfect son was completely shattered, Liu Yufeng's eyes flashed with smugness.
Feng Jue placed the woman in the car, unwrapped the candied fruit he always carried in his pocket, put it in his mouth, and fed it directly to the woman. He then drove straight to the hospital.
"That wretched creature!" That woman must die.
When Feng Jinchen arrived, he saw that the old man's face was ashen with anger, and knew that he was too late.
“Son, does Su Xi really have some serious illness? Why does she faint so often? She always looks so pitiful. No wonder your uncle is so confused when he sees her.”
Feng Jinchen glanced coldly at Liu Yufeng, pretending not to hear, and went over to help the old man. "Grandpa, it's not worth getting sick from anger. Let me help you back to rest."
As he turned around, a chilling glint flashed in the man's eyes. Feng Jue had gone too far.
Su Xi woke up groggily to find herself in the hospital, and involuntarily shuddered.
I was relieved to see that there were no IV drips on my body.
Ye Qingqian sat by the hospital bed. She had attended Su Xi's birthday banquet yesterday and knew that something had happened to Su Xi. She couldn't get through to Su Xi on the phone, so she called her uncle. That's how she learned that Su Xi had fainted.
"Xixi, I brought you Cloud Top Mousse, with ice."
The doctor who came in frowned. "Pregnant women shouldn't drink anything cold."
Ye Qingqian blinked in confusion at first, then her eyes quickly filled with shock as she looked sharply at Su Xi.
Su Xi gave her a shushing look.
After the doctor left, Ye Qingqian grabbed Su Xi's hand, excitedly stammering, "Xi Xi, are you really pregnant? Whose is it? Feng Jinchen's or Feng Jue's?"
Su Xi was speechless. "How could it possibly be my uncle's?"
Ye Qingqian deflated instantly. "It's that scumbag? Why didn't you say so?"
"If they had known you were pregnant, wouldn't their whole family have treated you like a precious treasure? None of this would have happened today."
"If the children are careless... they'll have nowhere to cry."
Su Xi let out a breath, "I know what I'm doing. And you must keep this child a secret for me, otherwise I will never be able to win custody against the Feng family."
Seeing that Su Xi had made up her mind, Ye Qingqian stopped trying to persuade her. "Don't worry, I'll keep it a secret. I'll be the father of our child from now on, and the three of us will definitely be happy. What's the point of that scumbag? Can he even be eaten?"
Su Xi chuckled at the amusement, then suddenly remembered something and sat up straight. "Qingqian, go and tell the doctor not to tell anyone."
"Okay, I promise to complete the task." Ye Qingqian wanted to help Su Xi put the food away before leaving, but Su Xi pushed her away, "I can do it myself, you go quickly. If my uncle finds out, I really don't know how I'll handle it. Also, please help me with the discharge procedures."
Seeing that Su Xi's complexion was not bad, Ye Qingqian figured that she had fainted due to low blood sugar, so she quickly left.
Su Xi had just picked up the insulated box when the door opened. Seeing Feng Jue, Su Xi unconsciously lowered her eyes and bit her lower lip.
"Xiaoxi, I had an important video conference just now, so I left for a little while."
Su Xi's eyes darted around. Luckily, there was a video conference, otherwise her pregnant belly would have been exposed.
"Uncle, thank you for today. And with Qingqian here, you can go about your business."
"I'm all done."
Liu Cheng placed a large bunch of sunflowers by his bedside. As the fragrance wafted in the air, each sunflower resembled a smiling face, bringing a sense of joy to the heart.
Su Xi pursed her lips. "Assistant Liu, is your injury alright?"
"It's nothing, just minor injuries."
Feng Jue raised an eyebrow, his gaze towards Liu Cheng filled with hostility. "You can leave now."
Liu Cheng's back stiffened, and he scrambled to his feet in fright. Had he been mistaken for a love rival by the big boss? No way! Where did he get the audacity?
Only the two of them remained in the room. Feng Jue naturally put down the table and arranged the steaming hot dishes one by one.
"Uncle, are you alright?" Su Xi's cheeks flushed as she recalled what happened last night.
"I'm fine. I'll be completely better after taking the antidote and sleeping it off. Don't worry."
"But..." Su Xi was still worried. Last night, her uncle had been on the verge of death because of her, but now it was being glossed over so lightly, which made her unable to feel at ease.
"I'm really fine, perfectly healthy. If you don't believe me, why don't you try?"
The man deliberately lowered his voice for the last sentence, his falsetto carrying a seductive tone. His beautiful peach blossom eyes were half clear and half lustful, making it impossible for anyone who looked at him to resist falling into their trap.
Su Xi's face immediately turned as red as an apple.
Seeing that he still had the leisure to joke, Su Xi realized that he must really be alright, and she felt relieved.
"Uncle, have you eaten?" The moment the words left his mouth, the man's stomach growled.
Su Xi smiled, her eyes crinkling, and handed the man a pair of chopsticks.
Feng Jinchen rushed to the hospital with roses in his arms. Through the glass, he saw the two adulterers chatting and laughing as they ate together, like a perfect couple. His eyes immediately turned red with anger.
Feng Jue packed up his things and took them outside to throw them away. When he saw Feng Jinchen, he warned him coldly, "Xiao Xi needs to rest. You'd better not go crazy."
When he returned, he saw bright red roses on the bedside table, while his sunflowers had been thrown into the trash can. The man's pupils flickered slightly.
"Xixi threw it away. She doesn't like sunflowers. Xixi, don't you think so?"
Meeting the man's threatening gaze, Su Xi tightened her grip on the blanket and lowered her eyes. "Yes."
