43 Cinderella in a Golden Cage 1
Lin Qianrou sat with her legs pressed together and ankles crossed while waiting inside her gynecologist's office. She was also waiting for Li ili to arrive to accompany her for this appointnt.
The waiting room was painted with soft hues of yellow and blue and the walls were decorated with posters about various dangers and illnesses a pregnant woman may encounter during her pregnancy. Across her, the wall had paintings that she assud may have cost millions of yuan, sothing that her husband's associates and circle would like to own.
Before she married Xu Wenyang, Lin Qianrou rarely visited a private doctor. Unlike her husband, she wasn't born with a silver spoon. She squird on her seat in frustration. Why was Li ili taking too long to arrive?
Her beige chiffon dress with matching stilettos cost more than what a regular employee earns in a month. It should be enough to make her happy, like she belonged into Xu Wenyang's world, but her whole wardrobe was brought by a professional stylist to ensure that she looked and presented herself accordingly as Madam Xu.
For Lin Qianrou, she would never spend such an amount of money for sothing she would only wear once or twice in her life. However, her personal stylist had made sure that she wouldn't repeat any clothes she'd already worn and it drove Lin Qianrou insane.
She wasn't sure if it was because she'd refused her stylist's assistant to have her clothes custom made and decided to bring sothing new every other day to add in to her wardrobe.
Her eyes then landed on the clock on the wall. She ntally counted the seconds that passed as she waited for the doctor's return. What was taking them so long? Was it really hard to determine if she was really pregnant or not?
A few minutes later, the doctor walked in and took her seat at the desk. She was wearing a white lab coat on top of her casual attire. The woman was already in her late fifties but she was still one of the most sought gynecologists in the city, especially within the socialite circle. She was considered one of the best, and that was why Xu Wenyang insisted that the doctor should be the one in charge of her feminine matters.
"Congratulations, Madam Xu. You're pregnant." The doctor passed the lab results to Lin Qianrou. "I'm sure that your husband would be thrilled to hear about your pregnancy."
"T-thank you…" Lin Qianrou didn't bother to check the results as she already knew about her pregnancy even before she ca here. She just needed to make sure that she was pregnant and her baby was healthy. As for her husband, she didn't know how Xu Wenyang would take the news.
They'd been married for three years, but she and Xu Wenyang had never discussed having children. They'll be celebrating their third anniversary on Friday, maybe she could discuss it with him if he could spare her so of his precious ti.
"Thank you, Dr. Huang," Lin Qianrou felt a little better now.
"I'll see you in two weeks' ti for your next appointnt." The doctor added.
After ten minutes, Lin Qianrou stepped out of the room and saw Li ili waiting for her outside.
"Qian, I'm so sorry for being late. I had to drop the papers Moyu asked to on the way here. How is it? Are you sick? Why did you need to see Dr. Huang for a check up?" Li ili bombarded her with questions.
"You are really close with the empress, aren't you? We've been friends for a long ti, but you've never bothered to introduce to her. Such a good friend you are, ili." Lin Qiarou pouted. She was dying to et the empress and she was sure as hell that Tang Moyu wasn't as bad as so socialite won painted her to be.
Li ili laughed and hooked an arm on her friend's and dragged her away from the hospital. Lin Qianrou had t her during one of her exhibits. The fashion designer was kind enough to buy so of her paintings at a high price while everyone ignored her passion. Since then, they'd beco good friends.
Within the social circle, filled with wealthy won who ca from prominent families, she only knew Li ili. A commoner like her had no place in their circle, yet Li ili had never looked down on her since she'd t her. Li ili was that one person she could call anyti to listen to her complaints and accompany her when she was alone.
"Aww, poor baby. Don't worry, one of these days, I will bring Moyu with so you can et her. She's definitely better than those socialite won you've t before." Li ili bead a smile at her. "Her little buns are also irresistible. No doubt you will fall in love with them at first sight."
