Ni Sitian frowned, her mind a jumble of thoughts. Two days ago, Zhi Lan told her that she wasn't going to Syria anymore and asked her to keep it a secret from Xu Tingchuan, but Xu Tingchuan knew that Shen Muzhi would be going to Syria with Zhi Lan.
The current situation is that Zhi Lan didn't go, and Shen Muzhi was unaware of this, thinking that she had gone. He even took a later flight to follow her. Did Zhi Lan know that Shen Muzhi would follow her like this? What was the reason that made Shen Muzhi follow her despite the danger?
"I'll tell you when I get back tonight," Xu Tingchuan said softly, taking Ni Sitian's hand in his.
There are too many people here, and this is a matter of privacy, so it's not convenient to talk about it right now.
Pei Yang glanced at Xu Tingchuan; they were probably the only ones here who knew why Shen Muzhi had followed him.
"Why did Zhi Lan go to Syria?" Fu Wennuan asked worriedly, looking at Gu Chen, and said, "We ran into her at the Women and Children's Hospital the other day. She looked unwell and must have been feeling very uncomfortable. Why would she suddenly go to such a dangerous place?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Tingchuan suddenly looked up at Gu Chen.
Pei Yang also grasped the key point from this sentence and looked at Gu Chen.
Others, unaware of the context, did not consider that possibility.
Ni Sitian's mind was still preoccupied with the previous question. Now that Zhi Lan hadn't gone, but Shen Muzhi had gone to such a dangerous place, wouldn't something happen to him?
Everyone in the private room was preoccupied with their own thoughts, and suddenly it fell silent.
Xu Jiayue was the most confused one there. Seeing that the atmosphere had become awkward, she took out a gift and gave it to Xu Tingchuan.
The others then turned their attention back to Xu Tingchuan, each taking out a gift and wishing him a happy birthday.
Fu Wenuan also brought gifts for everyone, which she and Gu Chen bought along the way during their honeymoon.
Around 8 PM, the birthday gathering ended, and everyone gradually left the Lan Club.
Ni Sitian and Xu Jiayue walked ahead, arm in arm with Fu Wenuan, chatting about their women's topics.
Xu Tingchuan and Pei Yang had something to say to Gu Chen, so they deliberately slowed down.
"Did you really run into Xiang Zhilan at the Women and Children's Hospital? Did she say she was visiting her, or was she seeing a doctor on her own?" Pei Yang had the same question on his mind as Xu Tingchuan, so he asked it before Xu Tingchuan could.
"I ran into her at the entrance. She said she had a stomachache and came to get some medicine, but I thought she was acting a bit strange that day." Gu Chen didn't know what happened at the cruise ship annual meeting, nor did he know how deep the connection was between Xiang Zhilan and Shen Muzhi, so although he found it strange at the time, he didn't investigate it further.
"Did you see what medicine she was holding?" Xu Tingchuan asked, getting straight to the point.
"A small white bottle, she was holding it in her hand, I couldn't see the words on it clearly." Gu Chen shook his head and asked, "Is it something important?"
Xu Tingchuan and Pei Yang both frowned. This was undoubtedly a very important matter. If it was really as they suspected—that Xiang Zhilan was pregnant, that she had bought the medicine and gone to Syria—then this child…
"I'll have someone check what medicine she bought," Pei Yang said to Xu Tingchuan. There was no time to lose, and he strode towards the car.
"What exactly happened?" Gu Chen didn't understand why their expressions had become so serious.
"Have you ever thought about why you and Fu Wenwen went to the Women and Children's Hospital? Xiang Zhilan might have the same purpose." After Xu Tingchuan finished speaking, he also walked quickly towards his car.
Is Xiang Zhilan pregnant?
Gu Chen was taken aback, then, recalling the series of conversations about Syria, he suddenly realized that it was Shen Muzhi's child.
