Chairman Husband, Too Boorish - 228
Chapter 228 : We're having another baby.
“Yes, Miss Bai, you're three and a half weeks
pregnant. The fetus seems healthy so far, but we've reviewed your medical
records. It seems you had a miscarriage before, and your physical functions
aren't very good. Miss Bai, if I may ask, what caused your previous
miscarriage?”
Yan Liang's heart trembled. She instinctively
clutched the bedsheet beneath her, her eyes darting around, her expression one
of unease.
She knew her physical condition. SARS had cost
her so much, and she was well aware that her health wasn't what it used to be.
Fortunately, she was still young, and after she went to England, Liang Xi Cheng
had consistently sought out the best doctors to provide her with various forms
of guidance and training. However, that illness wasn't to be underestimated,
just as this doctor was saying; her physical functions weren't what they used
to be.
But she was pregnant again. She was having
another baby. Heaven was kind to her; she really … was pregnant.
Her hands unconsciously went to her lower
abdomen. It was still flat; she couldn't feel anything there. But at this
moment, she had a very strange feeling—
A mother could feel her child inside her,
their blood intertwined …
Baby, this time, Mommy will protect you well. I
will never let you suffer any harm again.
“… Will it have any effect?”
Yan Liang calmed herself down before slowly
raising her head. A year ago, after suddenly contracting SARS, she wasn't
entirely clear about what happened afterward, because Liang Xi Cheng had
handled everything. Of course, she couldn't possibly be unaware that a highly
contagious and dangerous virus like SARS would inevitably cause panic. The fact
that she had been able to leave the country so quietly and was still unharmed
meant that Liang Xi Cheng must have played a significant role.
Moreover, the doctor who treated her back then
was a renowned hospital director in City A. If she were to speak carelessly
now, it would definitely have some repercussions. Yan Liang carefully
considered her words before finally saying, "... It was just a normal
situation. I was about four months pregnant when I lost the baby ..."
"Induced labor?"
"..."
Yan Liang frowned. Mentioning the unfortunate child who died young always left her with a knot in her heart that she couldn't untie. Hearing the words "induced labor," her heart still tightened involuntarily.
"... Doctor, just tell me directly, will
it have any impact?"
"Ms. Bai, don't worry. Actually, your
overall physical condition is quite good. We're just checking on your situation
as usual."
The doctor, with a smile in his eyes, put away
the medical records, his attitude towards Yan Liang remaining respectful.
"... Chairman Liang contacted us about an hour ago. He knows you're
staying at our hospital and asked us to take good care of you. As for your
pregnancy ... we haven't informed Chairman Liang yet. I think it's best if Ms.
Bai tells him herself. Ms. Bai, please rest well. If anything happens, have the
nurses contact me. I'll go now."
Liang Xi Cheng is here?
Yan Liang pressed her hand on her abdomen
slightly harder, and her heart, which had been pounding, quietly settled down.
He's here. She can finally relax. She'll tell
him she's pregnant, and carrying his child ...
Just thinking about it fills Yan Liang with
uncontrollable excitement.
***
In a hotel suite in City A.
The man stood by the floor-to-ceiling window,
hands clasped behind his back. A knock came at the door behind him. He stubbed
out his cigarette and slowly turned around. His assistant, who had handled the
matter, entered and gave him a slight nod—
“Chairman Ye.”
“How did things go?”
Ye Sheng Ming’s deep voice was unusually
tense. His hands, clasped tightly behind his back, were bent slightly,
fidgeting with each other. A calculating glint shone in his deep eyes,
radiating confidence.
"Reporting to Chairman Ye, as you
instructed, after Miss Liang Jing Shan left, our men immediately had red paint
splashed on the area. Bai Yan Liang is unharmed, but she was a little shaken
and is currently in the hospital. Liang Xi Cheng went there immediately; he
drove there himself on the highway."
Ye Sheng Ming nodded. "Very good.
Continue according to plan. Don't let anything go wrong. I want her in my hands
in three days. Understand?"
"Yes, Chairman Ye, we will handle it
well!"
"Get out!"
The room fell silent again. Ye Sheng Ming
walked to his desk, sat in his executive chair, and took out his phone. The
screen saver was a photo of himself and Ye Qing, taken three years ago. Back
then, Ye Qing was full of youthful energy. Thinking of his daughter, whom he
now had to have someone watch over every day, a pang of pain shot through his
heart.
Liang Xi Cheng, Bai Yan Liang—
You two, you scoundrels, just you wait! You
think you can make me, Ye Sheng Ming, obediently sign the divorce papers? Dream
on!
This time, it was just a matter of scraping
red paint, something he had planned beforehand. He knew Liang Xi Cheng had been
secretly watching Bai Yan Liang, making it difficult to strike. Luckily, the
Liang family also had a fool—Liang Jing Shan.
This time, she traveled a long way to City C
to see Bai Yan Liang. He seized this opportunity, having someone first throw
red paint on Bai Yan Liang. This way, the person most likely to arouse Liang Xi
Cheng's suspicion would naturally become Liang Jing Shan, who already harbored
resentment towards Bai Yan Liang. Once he lowered his guard, things would be
much easier.
The man's rough thumb lightly brushed across
the phone's screen saver. The girl had an innocent smile, but her eyes held an
unprecedented sinister glint—
He wouldn't let anyone who hurt his precious
darling get away with it!
***
Yan Liang didn't know how Liang Xi Cheng got
here, or where he was now. She had originally planned to call him, but her
phone had just broken, and she was in the hospital, unable to contact anyone.
After waiting for half an hour, her mind relaxed, and she felt a little drowsy.
Perhaps due to extreme nervousness, she lay in
bed, her hands still carefully resting on her flat stomach, her mind hazy,
drifting off to sleep, feeling as if she were dreaming—
In her dream, many people were chasing her,
calling her name one by one. She felt a little scared because she couldn't see
their faces clearly, and their voices were too indistinct. She kept running and
running until she looked down and realized her belly was very large, about
seven months along. When she stood up, she couldn't even see her own feet.
She was terrified that someone would harm her
baby. Who were those people chasing her?
She didn't know how long she ran, but finally
she heard a familiar male voice gently calling her name in her ear. After a few
calls, it gently whispered, "Baby, baby, it's me."
That deep, resonant, and magnetic voice made
her feel at ease. She took a deep breath and suddenly opened her eyes. The
dream and reality abruptly overlapped. The man's delicate features showed a
hint of worry, his brows slightly furrowed, revealing a touch of weariness.
However, this did not diminish his calm and composed aura. “… Yan Liang, are
you having a nightmare? It’s me, it’s Xi Cheng. I’m sorry I’m late …”
Xi Cheng …
Yan Liang pushed herself up from the bed and,
the moment Liang Xi Cheng finished speaking, threw herself at him, reaching out
to hug him tightly.
“… Xi Cheng, Xi Cheng …”
Perhaps because she had just woken up, Yan
Liang’s voice was a little hoarse, revealing a hint of weariness, yet also a
trace of dependence. She hugged Liang Xi Cheng tightly, wishing she could embed
herself entirely into the man’s chest; only then would she feel safe.
Liang Xi Cheng could feel her body trembling;
she must have been terrified. A pang of heartache flashed in his eyes. His
large hand gently stroked her back, comforting her. His voice was incredibly
soft; the simplest two words, spoken with such allure, were incredibly sexy,
"I'm here."
"... Xi Cheng."
"Don't be afraid, baby. I'm sorry, it was
my negligence that made you suffer. It's alright, I'm here."
"... Xi Cheng."
"Mmm."
“Xi Cheng, I’m pregnant, we’re having another baby …”
