It was pretty late when they got back ho last night, and the two of them went to bed after they washed up.
After a good night’s rest, it was the afternoon when she woke up the next day. The man was not with her anymore, but his scent remained in the air.
As usual, he had prepared her clothes for her and left them on the chair. She got up and took off her sleeping robe before heading into the bathroom.
Suddenly, she felt an urge to vomit again when she stood before the dressing table. Just like yesterday, only bile ca out. She began to notice that sothing was wrong.
She suddenly rembered that Su Nan had similar reactions when she was first pregnant. Moreover, her period had been delayed for more than a week now. Could she be...?
Xi Xiaye’s eyes brightened as she looked at herself in the mirror. Her face seed pale and she looked tired in general, but her eyes were exceptionally clear.
She was stunned for a mont while she put her hand on her flat stomach and only ca back to her senses after a while.
When she went downstairs, Sis Wang and the others were doing the house chores. They greeted her respectfully and prepared lunch for her.
“Missus, Master has gone to work. He had an early eting this morning. He wants you to go have a check-up at the hospital later. He’s already made an appointnt with Dr. Huang. Ms. Ji Zitong will co over and accompany you later.” Sis Wang gave her a warm smile.
Xi Xiaye nodded. He had reminded her last night about it before sleeping. After so many days, it was about ti for her to get checked.
“By the way, Master reminded you to take your dicine. I’ll get it for you!”
Sis Wang walked towards the living room as she was about to get Xi Xiaye her dicine and so water, but Xi Xiaye stopped her. “Sis Wang, it’s okay. I’ll do it myself.”
“But...”
As Sis Wang was about to say sothing, the phone started ringing, so she went to pick it up. It was a call from Shen Yue!
...
It was obvious what the call was about.
As expected—
“Don’t mind the nonsense published in the newspapers and magazines. Just be more careful in the future. Your grandfather and grandmother were pretty worried, but Ah Chen dealt with them. The news this morning reported it was an accident. Anyway, soone might be behind this, so be careful,” Shen Yue expressed his concern.
Xi Xiaye replied with a terse nod. “Mmm, I got it, Grandpa!”
“You’re still too young. Businesspeople need to be more flexible. There’s going to be an auction at the Glory Treasure Hall next week. Co with .”
Since Shen Yue was set on handing Fu Hua over to Xi Xiaye, he was trying to get her familiarized with it. He started to participate in public events again after staying low profile for a very long ti. His intentions were obvious as he brought Xi Xiaye along.
“Mmm, okay...”
After she hung up on the call with Shen Yue, another call ca from the Mu family. They were concerned about Xi Xiaye’s condition too.
Ever since they got married, Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye rarely stayed over at the Mu Residence. Wang Hui made sure to give them a lot of alone ti together. Besides visiting them when she was extrely bored, she generally refrained herself from bothering them.
Xi Xiaye felt embarrassed about it at tis. When they were really busy, they might not even visit them once a month. However, whenever she ntioned it to him, he was pretty indifferent.
She lost her appetite after several bites. Then, she flipped through the newspapers as she sat on the sofa. As expected, she saw a large photo of them on the rooftop. Mu Yuchen was giving Qi Lei a polite hug as she stood beside him. It was a harmonious scene.
Xi Xiaye glanced over the article and let out a sigh of relief.
Ji Zitong arrived monts later. Xi Xiaye got in the car and they took off.
The bodyguard-cum-driver Ji Zitong inford Xi Xiaye of the schedule, “Director Xi, Chairman Mu said to send you to the hospital for a check-up.”
“Head over to XX field first.”
She still rembered her promised ti with Inspector Zhang. After vanishing for such a long ti, Xi Xiaye felt that he must have caught onto sothing. However, his phone was still switched off when she called him, and she felt it was odd.
Ji Zitong did so without any question. After an hour, they arrived at the destination.
“We’ve arrived, Director Xi!”
Ji Zitong parked at the edge of the field as she gave Xi Xiaye a reminder, who was reading so docunts at the back.
Xi Xiaye raised her head and took off her sunglasses. She lowered the window and looked outside. As expected, she saw a black figure right beside a pole.
Xi Xiaye packed up her docunts after she watched that person for a while. “Wait here. I’ll go alone.” She then got out of the car.
Ji Zitong nodded and got out of the car too. Standing beside the car, she just watched over Xi Xiaye sharply from behind.
The grass on the field was bright green. As the breeze ruffled through them, they moved like waves.
When Xi Xiaye walked over, Inspector Zhang was looking down the slope. He turned around and looked at her when he heard the sounds of footsteps behind him.
“You’re here.”
Xi Xiaye stopped beside him and leaned against the cold pole, turning her attention towards Inspector Zhang and smiling. “I thought you’ve gone missing after you disappeared on for so long.”
Inspector Zhang returned the smile and shook his head. “There’s been a lot going on lately. I went abroad several tis and didn’t have ti to inform you about it,” he said apologetically.
“I know you’re really busy. I couldn’t get through your phone at all and I gave up. I was just waiting for you to contact because I thought you’d need more ti.” Xi Xiaye took a deep breath as she averted her gaze away from his face and looked down. “But I do hope you can answer my questions.”
“Well, I might not be able to answer all your doubts, but there’s sothing you might be interested in.”
