As Qiao Xi and Huo Xingzhou walked into the hospital, they happened to see Zhong Lingxiao coming towards them with his arm around Lin Xifei’s waist.
The two parties bumped right into each other.
Zhong Lingxiao raised his eyebrows, casting a sowhat arrogant glance over Qiao Xi with a hint of inexplicable sarcasm.
"What a coincidence." His gaze landed on the registration slip in Qiao Xi’s hand, imdiately capturing the key information.
Zhong Lingxiao provocatively said: "Pregnant? Is President Huo taking his wife to check whose child it is? My useless brother has been coveting your wife for a long ti. Their young love is deep, who knows you might just be the happy father by surprise."
He used to speak cautiously, but after falling out with the Huo Family, he had beco increasingly harsh.
His tone was also quite insolent.
Zhong Lingxiao greatly resented the Huo couple, especially Qiao Xi.
So, he was stirring up trouble between the couple, giving Qiao Xi a hard ti.
After all, he had been fooled by Zhong Yi for a long ti before and this country girl was not innocent. If he had known of her existence earlier, he could have used her to blackmail Zhong Yi.
Huo Xingzhou’s eyes seed to be filled with fragnts of cold ice as he looked at him and said, "You need not worry about this issue, because it’s rare for you to have such a concern."
"Huo Xingzhou, what do you an?"
"The literal aning, Miss Lin is carrying your only offspring, you better protect it well. Lest you end up with no descendants at all." Huo Xingzhou chuckled lightly and said, "Then again, whether the child in her belly is yours is yet to be seen. Maybe you’ve already run out of heirs."
"You..."
Zhong Lingxiao collected his emotions and said, "Thanks for the reminder, I will definitely protect this child. Once the Zhong Family’s banquet is over, Zhong Yi and all of you have to get out of the Imperial Capital!"
Qiao Xi couldn’t help but retort sarcastically, "Young Master Zhong, don’t be so sure. Aren’t you afraid that your tongue will twist in the wind for bragging?"
"Feeling sorry for Zhong Yi? President Huo, you better keep an eye on your wife, lest she feels so sorry she ends up in Zhong Yi’s bed."
n hated such jokes, and Zhong Lingxiao deliberately brought it up to target Qiao Xi. He didn’t believe Huo Xingzhou had no opinions about Zhong Yi.
Who can bear soone eying their wife?
Huo Xingzhou said eerily, "Young Master Zhong, you’d better keep an eye on your own lower half. Lest your entire legacy is ruined by your little guy."
"Don’t trouble yourself."
Zhong Lingxiao said coldly and then dragged Lin Xifei’s hand to walk out.
Qiao Xi watched their backs, her expression slightly unpleasant. Her peripheral vision glanced at Huo Xingzhou, wanting to explain a bit.
But she ended up saying nothing.
Explaining would make her seem guilty instead.
Huo Xingzhou noticed her tiny movent, squeezed her fingers, and said, "I didn’t take to heart what he said. Even if you like Zhong Yi, you wouldn’t do such a thing while married. So people have a high moral baseline, and so... have no baseline at all."
For example, Zhong Lingxiao.
He was dancing on the edge of morality.
The law might not be able to punish him, but his ambition to gain the position of the Zhong Family’s heir would ruin him.
Qiao Xi softly said, "I won’t like him."
"You’ve said this many tis, but today I believe you."
Huo Xingzhou was just jealous, whether Qiao Xi liked Zhong Yi or not, he was jealous.
That’s only natural.
Qiao Xi smiled at him with eyes full of joy, "You really believe that?"
"Always believe."
"Then why are you jealous?"
"Just that he likes you, it makes jealous. He is soone you knew in your youth, it’s different. I can’t make you block and delete him, never to contact again."
"Then... what if he gets married in the future?"
"Maybe then I won’t be jealous."
Qiao Xi’s words inspired Huo Xingzhou greatly. If Zhong Yi had soone, he wouldn’t hover around Qiao Xi anymore.
Once everything is settled, maybe he should arrange it.
Qiao Xi pulled on his sleeve and said, "Let’s quickly go for the check-up, I’m curious about what you want to verify, could it be that I have twins in my belly?"
Huo Xingzhou stopped in his tracks, looking at her intently.
Qiao Xi’s heart pounded, "Is it true?"
"Last ti the pregnancy period was too short to be certain, let’s check again this ti."
If a doctor has such suspicions, it’s very likely.
Qiao Xi beca suddenly tense, more out of anticipation and joy, "I hope it’s true."
"It will be as you wish, don’t worry." Huo Xingzhou said as he took her into the obstetrics and gynecology departnt.
...
anwhile, outside the hospital.
Lin Xifei and Zhong Lingxiao sat inside the car, the atmosphere tense.
Zhong Lingxiao stared at her slightly bulging belly. Lin Xifei, who was very slim as a celebrity, showed any change very clearly now that she was pregnant.
Lin Xifei felt her throat tighten, her gaze sowhat evasive, "Lingxiao, what’s wrong?"
"The child in your belly is mine, right?" Zhong Lingxiao suddenly asked.
Lin Xifei only felt a chill spread across her back. Her lips moved slightly, and she spoke up, "Lingxiao, why would you say that? How could I possibly betray you?"
Zhong Lingxiao reached out to grip her chin, forcing her to look up at him.
He scrutinized her expression, his tone sowhat cold, "Have you never betrayed ?"
Lin Xifei summoned her lifeti’s worth of acting skills, her eyes brimming with tears, her tone filled with strong-willed restraint.
"Lingxiao! How could I ever betray you? From start to finish, you’ve been the only man for . All these years, I’ve been sincere to you! Is it because you heard what those two said just now that you’re doubting ? That was clearly ant to stir up trouble between us."
Zhong Lingxiao’s grip on her chin grew heavier.
He was weighing things in his heart.
The child in Lin Xifei’s belly couldn’t be hard.
"Lingxiao... what are you suspecting of?"
Lin Xifei was almost in tears, "Who else could I look up to but you?"
This was indeed true.
Zhong Lingxiao’s fingertip brushed away the tears on her cheek, "Don’t cry, it’s bad for the baby."
"Okay."
"In a few days, I’ll take you to the hospital for an amniocentesis. Xifei, you need to understand my situation. This child must be mine, there cannot be any mishaps."
Lin Xifei was extrely frightened in her heart, "Lingxiao, I am willing to prove my innocence! But the last child was because of you... so it wasn’t kept. I’m afraid an amniocentesis would affect the child too much, can’t we wait until three months have passed?"
Zhong Lingxiao’s poor quality had led to a miscarriage. His capability in that aspect was fine, just the foundation was not solid.
"Waiting for three months ans after the ninth of the next year."
"Would that have any impact? This is our child."
Zhong Lingxiao watched her for a while, "You’re right, this is our child. No mistakes can be made, so let’s wait."
He didn’t even know if it was because everything had been going too smoothly lately that he started suspecting Lin Xifei dared to harm him.
What would she gain?
She wouldn’t dare.
Lin Xifei fell into his arms, sobbing, "Lingxiao, I will always be on your side."
A woman’s mouth, is also a lying ghost.
