Chapter 110 Has the bathroom been checked?
Xie Siyan turned around and walked directly to the outer hall where his mother was resting. He asked directly, "Do you agree to Xie Ling's divorce?"
He asked seemingly casually, but Mrs. Xie paused with the silver scissors she was using to trim the branches.
A rose petal fell on the carpet, accompanied by a soft sound——
"Um."
Cheng Yu carefully placed a white crabapple into an enameled vase from the Qianlong period. Then he turned to look at his son and warned him, "Don't interfere this time."
My son's emotions are a mess.
When her relationship with Bai Yirou was budding, she didn't quite agree with it at the time. The Bai family was quite indifferent to their daughter, and their business was also in trouble. Fortunately, he still listened to her, but now...
My son has grown up and has his own ideas.
But Cheng Yu was really worried that he would drag his sister into the ditch again...
She glanced at Xie Siyan again.
Xie Siyan, however, disagreed and lowered his voice, "Mom, do you know how much interest is involved here?"
"But Ah Ling is still so young," Cheng Yu seemed hesitant, and was rarely soft-hearted. "We can't always force her to stay with someone she doesn't love, right?"
As a woman, Cheng Yu chooses her own feelings.
Although Xie's father was unreliable and had a mistress outside, she had loved him deeply back then... She could convince herself to be willing to accept everything that happened now.
The air in the outer hall was subtly still and stagnant.
"Then you can force me?"
Xie Siyan suddenly turned his head and asked a soul-searching question.
——
The night is as dark as ink.
The moonlight was blocked out by the heavy curtains, leaving only a dim wall lamp at the head of the bed, casting an ambiguous glow in the room.
"Let's do something different tonight."
Xie Siyan's voice was deep and hoarse, carrying an irresistible force. Mu Jia's wrist bones were pinned to the silk sheets, showing a fragile red.
His kisses followed the curve of her back all the way down, lingering at the small of her back, causing her to shudder.
Mu Jia's consciousness was shattered by the shock.
She couldn't remember what Xie Siyan said in her ear, nor could she remember whether he took any action at the end.
It was not until the early morning that she got up with her whole body sore and weak, and with trembling fingers, she placed an order on the food delivery platform.
"What are you doing?"
Xie Siyan's voice suddenly came from behind her, startling her so much that her hand trembled and her phone fell between the quilts.
Xie Siyan took a glance.
"To buy medicine." Mu Jia answered in a hoarse voice.
I still want to reach for my phone.
Xie Siyan grabbed her wrist and pulled her back to the bed. His eyes were deep, and his fingertips caressed the lingering red marks on her wrist: "Let's go tomorrow."
The second round began.
-
Mu Jia noticed something strange on a rainy morning.
She suffered from persistent low fever and nausea for a whole week.
She couldn't even muster up an appetite for her favorite coffee. After retching in the bathroom for the third time, she finally made an appointment to see a private hospital.
Xie Siyan did not stop him, but just sent a car and bodyguards.
A black car stopped at the hospital's VIP channel.
"Miss Mu, do you need me to accompany you in?" The bodyguard held up a black umbrella, and water droplets slid down the ribs of the umbrella, splashing tiny drops of water on the bluestone slabs.
Mu Jia shook his head.
She took the umbrella handle and stepped into the corridor holding it. She smelled the scent of disinfectant mixed with rainwater.
The sofa in the waiting area was as soft as a cloud, but she felt very uncomfortable.
"Have you had sex recently?"
The female doctor pushed her glasses up, her eyes behind the lenses calm and professional.
Mu Jia's ears suddenly felt hot.
Thinking back to last night when Xie Siyan pressed her against the French window...
"……have."
The pen made a rustling sound as it scratched on the examination form. The doctor tore off the test form and Mu Jia saw the words "HCG test" printed at the top.
"Do this check first."
The doctor's voice was very soft, but it was like thunder exploding in her ears. "Both urine and blood tests are required."
——
The lights in the corridor were pale.
Mu Jia stood at the door of the laboratory, holding the examination form.
There are so many thoughts in my mind.
Outside the window, the rain is getting heavier.
After Mu Jia left the clinic, Liu Heng pushed the door open and came in. He flipped through the medical records on the female doctor's desk and his eyes flickered when he saw the letters HCG.
I walked to the corridor and made a phone call.
"Si Yan, I'm afraid you will get what you want soon."
Inexplicably, Liu Heng suddenly recalled the scene when he first met Mu Jia in the hospital.
In a similar season, she was standing in the corridor wearing thin clothes, with embarrassment and worry on her face. It was all still vivid in her mind. Who would have thought that a year had passed.
He suddenly softened his heart, "Are you sure you want to hide her?"
…
The rain is getting heavier.
The raindrops as big as beans hit the car window, making a dense muffled sound.
The bodyguard looked at his watch countless times.
Nearly two hours had passed, and Miss Mu still hadn't come out of the hospital. The bodyguard couldn't wait any longer and pushed open the car door. The black umbrella was instantly blown over in the strong wind, but he didn't care and rushed into the hospital building in the rain.
I walked around the gynecology clinic on the third floor and didn't see anyone.
The bodyguard looked around anxiously and suddenly grabbed a passing nurse and asked, "Have you seen a lady in a beige windbreaker?"
This description was too broad, and the nurse shook her head blankly.
At the corner, Liu Heng was walking towards them while flipping through a medical record book. One corner of his white coat was wet by the rain, and it was obvious that he had just returned from outside.
"Doctor Liu," the bodyguard, who had been with Xie Siyan for years and had seen him several times, noticed him and quickly strode over, asking in a low voice, "Did you see Miss Mu just now?"
"I've seen him." Under the bodyguard's expectant gaze, he slowly added the details, "About an hour ago," he pointed to the examination room at the end, "I got an HCG test and a blood test. For blood draws, I have to go to the other side..."
Before he finished speaking, the bodyguard had already rushed to the other end of the corridor.
The blood collection room was empty.
The bodyguard walked around the gynecology department and the yard twice, and called Mu Jia with trembling fingers, but the line was always busy.
He realized that something was wrong and could only dial the number tremblingly.
The phone rang a few times before someone picked it up.
"Mr. Xie..." The bodyguard's Adam's apple rolled violently, sweating profusely, "Miss Mu... seems to have disappeared."
There was a dull sound of something falling to the ground from the other end of the phone. Xie Siyan's voice was as cold as a knife: "What did you say?"
The bodyguard explained anxiously, "My car is parked outside the outpatient building. I'll definitely see anyone coming out. Miss Mu has been in there for two hours and hasn't come out, so I went in to look for her..."
The monitoring room at this moment.
Liu Heng stood by and directed the security guard to review the footage from an hour ago.
After receiving the examination form, Mu Jia did go to the blood test room. While waiting for the blood test, she seemed to be unwell. After saying something to the nurse who was doing the blood test, she turned around and quickly went to the bathroom. The surveillance footage ended here, and no one was seen coming out of the bathroom again.
"Have you checked the restroom?"
The security guard came over and said, "I've asked the cleaning staff, and they're clear of people. They've put up a sign saying it's being cleaned."
