#207 Congratulations, I can't possibly be pregnant.
Fu Heng's somewhat cold voice came in, and Liu Qianhua subconsciously stepped back, bumping right into Fu Heng.
"I...I didn't mean that!"
He spoke in a flustered manner, but Fu Heng didn't even glance at Liu Qianhua. He simply sat down in front of Gu Mingxia's hospital bed with a convenience bag in his hand.
"Knowing you might not have had dinner yet, I brought some late-night snacks with me."
He took a lunchbox out of the convenience bag, and once he opened it, the entire ward was filled with a delicious aroma.
Crab congee!
Gu Mingxia's eyes lit up with surprise. She hadn't expected Fu Heng to remember that she liked this flavor of porridge, and her gaze was immediately filled with gratitude.
“I remember you used to love this flavor of porridge the most. I didn’t know if you still liked it, so I just guessed and bought it.”
Fu Heng put the spoon into the lunchbox and handed it to Gu Mingxia. Gu Mingxia took the lunchbox, held it to her nose, and took a deep breath. Her nostrils were immediately filled with the aroma of crab congee.
"It smells so good! This is the smell of Liu's Congee Shop!"
"You have a discerning nose. This is indeed Liu's crab congee."
Fu Heng smiled faintly and said that Gu Mingxia picked up her spoon and ate rather inelegantly. Liu Qianhua, who was standing to the side, frowned slightly for some reason. She had to admit that she was very envious of Gu Mingxia for having Fu Heng by her side to wholeheartedly protect and love her, even if he didn't get any response, he didn't complain at all.
"Hmm..."
After taking a few bites, Gu Mingxia suddenly felt nauseous and vomited. She immediately put down her lunchbox, got out of bed, rushed into the bathroom, and began to gag loudly.
"Mingxia, are you alright?"
Fu Heng followed with a glass of cold water, and Liu Qianhua followed with a box of tissues.
Gu Mingxia lay weakly on the sink, dry heaving. The mirror opposite her reflected her pale face beneath her messy hair.
"I'm fine, it's probably just that my stomach got a little cold."
After rinsing her mouth with the water Fu Heng handed her and washing her face with tap water, Liu Qianhua immediately handed a tissue to Gu Mingxia as soon as she came out of the bathroom.
"Thanks."
Gu Mingxia smiled politely at Liu Qianhua, then sat down on the sofa, looking somewhat tired.
"I'm sorry, I wasted your crab porridge."
"It's alright. By the way, why don't you have the doctor check you up tomorrow? You look rather pale."
As Fu Heng said this, the smile on his lips slowly disappeared. He truly felt sorry for this woman, but he knew he didn't even have the right to feel sorry for her.
"I will. It's getting late, you should go home and get some rest."
Gu Mingxia glanced at the clock on the opposite wall; it was almost three o'clock. Fu Heng would definitely have a lot to do tomorrow, and she couldn't let him stay here with her forever.
“Okay. There are Fu family bodyguards outside. If you need anything, just have Liu... Liu Qianhua give them instructions.”
It seems that his relationship with Liu Qianhua is indeed not very good, but Gu Mingxia does not intend to interfere in their affairs anymore.
Just as Fu Heng said, she could refuse his feelings, but she had no right to interfere with his choices and life.
"Thank you for everything you've done for me. Be careful on your way back."
Gu Mingxia smiled and accepted Fu Heng's kind arrangement. She knew that her current situation was dangerous, so she would not risk her life at this time.
"I'm leaving now. Remember to have the doctor check your stomach tomorrow."
"good!"
Fu Heng gracefully got up and left the ward, while Gu Mingxia, suppressing the intense nausea in her heart, leaned wearily against the sofa.
Xiao Yan went on a business trip. Is there a problem at the company? Since she started working at Maoguang, she has never seen Xiao Yan go on a business trip before. Why is he on a business trip now?
Was she avoiding their problems, or was there really something wrong with the company? Gu Mingxia kept thinking about this, but no matter how she thought about it, she couldn't figure it out. In the end, she simply closed her eyes and lay down on the sofa.
“Miss Gu, if you are tired, I will help you to bed. It will be very uncomfortable to sleep on the sofa.”
"It's okay, you should go and rest too. I'll lie here alone and think about some things."
Gu Mingxia did not open her eyes. She was grateful for Liu Qianhua's kindness, but she was feeling really unwell and had no desire to get up and talk to her.
"Alright then, but if you need anything tonight, be sure to call me. I'll just sleep in the living room for a while."
Liu Qianhua noticed Gu Mingxia's slightly furrowed brows and understood her reluctance to speak. However, her pale face still caused Liu Qianhua some slight worry.
The hospital was very quiet at night, especially the VIP ward area, which was almost eerily quiet.
Gu Mingxia slowly fell asleep in the quiet environment, but her brows remained tightly furrowed.
That night, at the Bai family villa.
Bai Zixuan sat on the sofa with a resentful look on his face. Ye Xiaorou was sitting on the sofa with Bai Muwen in her arms, looking at Bai Zixuan with a gloating expression.
"What? You were rejected after such a grand confession and plea for reconciliation?"
She suddenly felt indifferent. As long as Bai Muwen was still the eldest son of the Bai family, and as long as Bai Zixuan was willing to marry her, she could pretend not to see or hear anything else and let him do whatever he wanted!
"If you don't speak, it doesn't mean you're mute!"
He was in a bad mood after being beaten up by Song Jia, and on top of that, he was frustrated by being rejected by Gu Mingxia. After hearing Ye Xiaorou's words, Bai Zixuan was extremely unhappy!
"That's the truth. Do you think Gu Mingxia would agree to your request to get back together if I didn't say it?"
Ye Xiaorou looked coldly at Bai Zixuan. Ever since that tender moment between the two of them, a strange situation seemed to have arisen between them. Neither of them cared about the other's affairs, just like two strangers sharing an apartment.
Although the two of them had a son, it did not change the extremely cold atmosphere in the villa.
"Ye Xiaorou, I'm warning you, you better stay home and take care of the kids. If you keep talking nonsense, don't blame me for being rude!"
"Oh? So how exactly do you intend to be rude to me? Are you going to kill me or kill the baby?"
Ye Xiaorou always thought that Bai Zixuan genuinely wanted to raise the baby with her that night, but she never expected that not long after, she would see Bai Zixuan's confessions of wanting to get back together in newspapers, magazines and websites. It was only from that time that Ye Xiaorou finally understood that this man had never had any feelings for her from the beginning, and that he was only with her to use her to divorce Gu Mingxia!
After the divorce, he discovered Gu Mingxia's good qualities again and is now trying every means to remarry her. Ye Xiaorou knows that she and Bai Zixuan will never be able to live a loving life together with their child as they had talked about in that conversation.
Since she can't have this man's heart, she'll hold on tightly to what she can get, like a title or money!
Once she made up her mind, Ye Xiaorou rarely inquired about Bai Zixuan's affairs anymore. No matter what he did outside, she only hoped to take good care of her son and send money back to her parents in her hometown from time to time. She felt that this kind of life was quite good.
"Ye Xiaorou, don't think I don't know what happened between you and me before. In short, remember your place!"
"Really? Aren't your dirty deeds disgusting? How could you sleep with such an old woman like Huo Jialingling!"
Ye Xiaorou retorted, unsure of her own mindset. It was as if she was certain that Bai Zixuan wouldn't abandon his son, and as long as she had her son, she felt she had nothing to fear.
"Let me tell you, from now on, mind your own business. Just behave yourself and be a good Mrs. Bai, and I'll make sure you get your money!"
Bai Zixuan grabbed Ye Xiaorou by the neck, not even glancing at the baby in her arms, and said those words in a vicious tone. Bai Zixuan was frightened by the murderous intent in his eyes. This man had really gone mad. If she talked back to him again, he might really strangle her.
"I...I understand!"
"You'd better really know!"
He flung Ye Xiaorou aside, and the baby in his arms fell to the ground. Bai Zixuan glanced at it with disgust. The existence of this child constantly reminded him of the fact that he could not have children, which made Bai Zixuan very angry.
"Baby, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Mommy's here, it's okay, be good and don't cry!"
Ye Xiaorou picked up the baby and knelt on the ground, gently comforting the wailing child. Her resentment towards Bai Zixuan grew stronger. Even if he didn't like her, the child was his, and he couldn't be completely without feelings for him, could he?
"Take the child and get upstairs! Don't get in my way!"
Bai Zixuan sat on the sofa, glaring at Ye Xiaorou. Hearing his words, Ye Xiaorou knelt on the floor, tightly hugging the child in her arms, staring at him with a cold gaze.
"What are you looking at? If you keep looking, I'll throw this crying child outside!"
Ye Xiaorou instinctively hugged the child in her arms tighter, afraid that Bai Zixuan would really snatch the child away and throw him outside. She stood up with some difficulty, picked up the baby and ran quickly towards the stairwell. Without looking back, she ran up to the second floor.
At 10 a.m., Gu Mingxia's attending physician arrived at her ward, carrying the report of her physical examination that morning.
"Dr. Han, is there anything wrong with my health?"
Sitting on the hospital bed, Gu Mingxia spoke first with a smile. Dr. Han, who was about forty years old, carefully looked through the test report in his hand, then looked up and smiled slightly at Gu Mingxia.
"The test results show that Ms. Gu's health condition is excellent!"
"Thank you for your hard work, Dr. Han."
"However, I must congratulate Ms. Gu on becoming a mother. The report shows that you are six weeks pregnant, and the baby is growing very healthily inside you!"
"What? I'm pregnant? Dr. Han, are you sure you didn't pick up the wrong test report? This is impossible! I've been using contraception, there's no way I could be pregnant!"
