"Yiming, I really haven't done anything to betray you. Every time I went to the hospital for prenatal checkups before, the results were normal. Maybe there was a mistake this time. Can we go to another hospital for a checkup?" Xu Xiaoxiao stood up weakly and walked towards Gu Yiming. She looked at him with a sad and pitiful expression.
Xu Xiaoxiao is currently less than three months pregnant. Because she has been careful to maintain her figure, she is not showing yet and still looks very thin. Perhaps due to the effects of progesterone, even without makeup, her skin is fair, delicate, and almost flawless. At this moment, her eyes and nose are red from crying, making her look pitiful.
Gu Nanqing watched from the side, and suddenly remembered how she had been writhing and submitting to him. He felt all the blood in his body rush to a certain direction. This woman was born with a seductive charm that could captivate a man's soul.
But this woman only wanted to be with Gu Yiming, just like everyone else around her. She would only look at him when Gu Yiming wasn't around, and when he came back, she would ignore him! Gu Nanqing looked at Xu Xiaoxiao's humble appearance. She was willing to do anything for the position of the young mistress of the Gu family, but she was arrogant towards him. A trace of annoyance flashed through his heart.
"Xu Xiaoxiao, you've really gone to great lengths to become the young mistress of the Gu family. If you were in the entertainment industry, you could easily win an award for Best Actress. It's a good thing Yiming brought the family doctor back today, otherwise we would have been completely fooled by you," Gu Nanqing couldn't help but mock.
"I didn't, really, Yiming, don't believe him. I've been staying home obediently the whole time. I love you, and I haven't done anything to betray you." Hearing Gu Nanqing kicking her while she was down, Xu Xiaoxiao hated him to the core. She didn't respond to Gu Nanqing directly, but just looked at Gu Yiming and explained in a low voice.
Gu Yiming seemed to have taken Gu Nanqing's words to heart: "Xu Xiaoxiao, I loved you for nothing, yet you deceived me like this. Heh, you're only with me for the sake of the Gu family's status, aren't you?" He said with bloodshot eyes and a pained expression.
"No, I didn't, really. If you don't believe me, ask Aunt Bai. She can vouch for me." Xu Xiaoxiao suddenly remembered Bai Wei. The two had been getting along well recently, and Bai Wei was the only one in the family willing to speak up for her.
Bai Wei, who had been watching the commotion, was suddenly called out. Her mind raced. To her, Gu Yiming was just her son and his rival. From childhood to adulthood, this child had always ignored her and even shown her great disrespect.
Therefore, she didn't care at all whether Xu Xiaoxiao had done anything to wrong Gu Yiming. In fact, she almost hoped Xu Xiaoxiao had done something to wrong Gu Yiming, because that would make her happier. Thinking of this, she quickly made a decision: to help Xu Xiaoxiao, so that there would be something interesting to watch in the family.
“Yes, Yiming, don’t be impulsive. Don’t wrong Xiaoxiao by believing a doctor. She’s a good girl. Since coming to the Gu family, she has been focusing on her pregnancy at home and rarely goes out except to the hospital. I believe she wouldn’t do anything to betray you,” Bai Wei said earnestly.
“Yes, apart from going to the hospital for prenatal checkups, I’ve been taking care of the family and haven’t gone out at all,” Xu Xiaoxiao said, seizing the opportunity.
"Yes, of course you don't need to go out, since you have someone at home to keep you company." Seeing that Xu Xiaoxiao was about to escape this predicament, Jiang Feifei finally couldn't help but say with a mocking smile.
That's right, Xu Xiaoxiao is really capable; she managed to seduce someone else's husband without even leaving home.
"What do you mean by this?" Xu Xiaoxiao looked at Jiang Feifei warily. She wondered how much of her argument with Gu Nanqing that night had been overheard by Jiang Feifei. Was she going to kick her while she was down?
"Nanqing, you know what I mean, right?" Jiang Feifei teased, looking at Gu Nanqing. Hearing her words, everyone's gaze fell on Gu Nanqing.
"What are you talking about?" Bai Wei glared at Jiang Feifei. She knew Gu Nanqing wouldn't point the finger at Xu Xiaoxiao for no reason; it seemed there must be something going on between the two. Hearing her sarcastic words, everyone would think that way. This stupid woman, married for so long and still unable to have children, was even trying to undermine her husband for no reason!
Noticing Bai Wei's gaze, Jiang Feifei didn't take it to heart. She just wanted to give Gu Nanqing a reminder and didn't intend to break off relations right now.
“Mom, it’s like this. A few nights ago, Nanqing and I heard noises coming from Xu Xiaoxiao’s room. She’s pregnant, so Nanqing went to check on her first, thinking something had happened. But he didn’t come back for a long time, so I went with him. Who knew, the two of them started arguing. When I asked, I found out that Nanqing had seen someone leave Xu Xiaoxiao’s room. He asked who it was, but Xu Xiaoxiao wouldn’t say.” Jiang Feifei cleared Gu Nanqing of suspicion.
She paused, then continued, "Later I found hickeys on Xu Xiaoxiao's body. She told me that it was Gu Yiming who came back that night, so I didn't think much of it. Yiming, did you come back a few nights ago?" Jiang Feifei's seemingly casual words pushed Xu Xiaoxiao step by step into the abyss.
"See? I told you I heard noises in your room that night and saw a shadow. I went over to check on you, and you got angry with me. Now that I think about it, you were just feeling guilty!" Gu Nanqing said, pretending to suddenly realize something.
"You vicious woman!" he said, stepping forward and shoving Xu Xiaoxiao hard. Caught off guard, Xu Xiaoxiao stumbled and almost fell. She quickly grabbed the sofa and sat down. If she fell again, she might lose the baby.
Xu Xiaoxiao looked at Gu Yiming with a wronged expression, clutching her stomach and looking pained. She tried to use her suffering as an excuse, but Gu Yiming remained silent and did not immediately show concern for her as usual.
The matter is now very clear; all the evidence points to Xu Xiaoxiao's affair.
"Xiaoxiao, if you don't love me, you can tell me. I won't force you to be with me. But why are you treating me like this? Is it just for the sake of being the Gu family's daughter-in-law?" Gu Yiming looked at Xu Xiaoxiao, his eyes filled with hurt and disappointment.
"I didn't. Yiming, I love you." Xu Xiaoxiao clutched her stomach and sobbed uncontrollably.
Her action of protecting her stomach provoked Gu Yiming. Gu Yiming walked over, looked at her stomach, and demanded that Xu Xiaoxiao have an abortion immediately, as the Gu family would not accept a child of unknown origin.
