Chapter 713: Chapter 713: I Want to Confirm Before Telling Him
Pei Yuanchen saw her expression and suddenly realized, “Is it He Jingyao?”
“No way…” Zhixi forced a laugh.
“He came over last night!” Pei Yuanchen said with certainty, “And he stayed for a long time, didn’t he?”
Zhixi’s cheeks turned slightly red, unable to refute.
Pei Yuanchen, irritated, threw the piece of bread he was holding onto the table and cursed fiercely.
Just for this trivial matter, He Jingyao had actually played him like a fool… When he first received the news, he had even considered the worst-case scenario!
Zhixi avoided his gaze, “It’s your fault… Why did you have to run a smuggling business? If you were doing a legitimate business, there wouldn’t be anything to fear…”
Pei Yuanchen sneered, “I suddenly regret it, I should have hooked you in from the start.”
Zhixi was displeased, “Don’t talk as though I’m so easy to hook! Do you understand ‘once vast seas’ or comprehend ‘other than Mount Wu? Compared to Jingyao, everyone else is insignificant to me!”
Pei Yuanchen suddenly laughed lazily, “When godfather asked me to marry you back then, if I had agreed, you probably wouldn’t have been able to resist, and by now you would have been my wife, with no concern about He Jingyao.”
Zhixi choked with anger.
Xiaobao, standing nearby, was completely confused and scratched his head, “Uncle, you’ve always been my uncle, right?” ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ NoveI-Fire.ɴet
“Yes, he will always be your uncle.” Zhixi’s tone was firm and decisive.
Pei Yuanchen rolled his eyes at her.
Soon, Gu Bingjun came over, took Xiaobao into his arms, and urged Zhixi and Pei Yuanchen to hurry up and leave.
That’s when Pei Yuanchen realized his role, feeling speechless, “Do you think I’m your bodyguard or something?”
“It’s just this once, for Dad. Try telling him you won’t go,” Zhixi said to him with a charming smile.
Pei Yuanchen could only scowl but obliged.
The two quickly left the hotel and got into the car.
“Address.” Pei Yuanchen, acting as the driver, asked lazily.
“After Cheng Youlin resigned from the presidency, he moved to a traditional house in the outskirts of Yangdong City, called Residence No.1.” Zhixi had already inquired about their address, “You take Nalla Street. On the way, you’ll pass by T University’s affiliated hospital; stop there for a moment.”
Pei Yuanchen had just started the car when, hearing her, he raised his eyebrows, “The hospital?”
“Exactly.” Zhixi was calm, “Since I’m pregnant, I naturally need to get checked out. Besides, I only used a pregnancy test last time, it’s more accurate to get checked at the hospital.”
Pei Yuanchen snorted coldly, “Why don’t you get He Jingyao to accompany you?”
“…I want to confirm it before telling him, to avoid any false hopes,” Zhixi said smilingly, her hands covering her lower abdomen.
Seeing her look like that, Pei Yuanchen wanted to retort.
But perhaps it was the happiness and anticipation on her face that were too glaring; he eventually snorted lightly, holding back the urge to strike at her happiness.
Half an hour later, they arrived at T University’s affiliated hospital.
Pei Yuanchen accompanied her to the obstetrics and gynecology department, his face sullen the entire time. Zhixi, on the other hand, was in a good mood, smiling as she registered and waited in line for the checkup. There were quite a few people in the hallways and offices, mostly women, but there were also quite a few men.
Shortly after, the nurse called her number. Zhixi handed her bag to Pei Yuanchen with a beaming smile, “I’m going in!”
Pei Yuanchen rolled his eyes. He couldn’t remember ever finding her facial expressions of happiness so irksome before.
