Chapter 232: Chapter 232: I’m Pregnant
Nie Rong was like a princess held high above, lowering her eyes to look at Gu Yan, as if proclaiming the difference in their family backgrounds and hinting at the difference between Gu Yan and Tang Yuxiu.
Gu Yan couldn’t help but clench her hand by her side, her expression indifferent.
"Miss Nie, what a coincidence." She greeted her blandly.
Nie Rong also smiled slightly, "It is a coincidence. Miss Gu, did you hurt your forehead?"
"Just a small injury." Gu Yan looked at Nie Rong impassively, noticing her face was noticeably pale compared to the afternoon, she then asked, "Is Miss Nie also feeling unwell?"
The hand beside Nie Rong suddenly clenched, quickly relaxed again, and she smiled slightly, "I am feeling a bit unwell, but I am quite happy."
Hmm? Feeling unwell but still happy?
Gu Yan was puzzled, not understanding the reason.
Seeing this expression, Nie Rong made a ruthless decision in her heart, maintaining her proud demeanor, "Doesn’t Miss Gu want to know why I am happy?"
Gu Yan pressed her lips together, then said, "I don’t exactly wish to know."
How does it relate to her anyway?
But Nie Rong didn’t get angry at all, her expression unchanged, "But I want Miss Gu to know."
Seeing her like this, Gu Yan instinctively felt uneasy.
"What?"
She asked, and then saw Nie Rong calmly open her handbag, take out a crumpled piece of paper, and extend it toward her.
Gu Yan glanced at it, "What is this?"
Nie Rong smiled, "My examination report."
Gu Yan was even more confused, "I don’t seem to be that familiar with Miss Nie." Why show her this examination report?
"Yes, but I just want Miss Gu to know that I am pregnant."
Pregnant!
The two words unexpectedly crashed into Gu Yan’s ears, her heart suddenly shook, and for a moment she forgot to react.
Nie Rong was very satisfied to see Gu Yan’s reaction, she continued to add, "It’s Yu Xiu’s child."
Nie Rong is pregnant, with Tang Yuxiu’s child.
This sentence repeatedly echoed in Gu Yan’s mind.
That Nie Rong could actually be pregnant with Tang Yuxiu’s child.
Gu Yan suddenly felt infinitely ironic, her heart excruciatingly painful, as if cut by countless knives, bleeding profusely, unbearably miserable.
"I don’t believe it." She spoke, only to realize her voice was trembling slightly.
She thought, her face must not look good right now.
What kind of person is Tang Yuxiu, his obsession with cleanliness and his coldness are well-known, if he wasn’t willing, how could someone become pregnant with his child.
At this moment, Gu Yan felt deeply betrayed!
After being intimate with another woman and even having a child, yet in front of her, he acted deeply affectionate, watching her fall into his trap step by step.
Isn’t the saying "showing a false face" just referring to a man like Tang Yuxiu!
The heart is very painful, so painful that she doesn’t even want to speak anymore.
Nie Rong looked at Gu Yan’s painful appearance, feeling greatly satisfied inside.
Why was she unable to obtain Tang Yuxiu’s fondness, why should she alone be saddened and in pain.
This woman has no qualifications at all, she can’t let her have a good time either!
Nie Rong felt a distorted pleasure inside!
Nie Rong stuffed the report into Gu Yan’s hand, "Don’t say I deliberately deceived you, it’s all clearly written in black and white, less than a month pregnant, based on the time calculation it happened on the night of Yu Xiu’s promotion banquet, if there’s anything unclear, I think you’d better ask Yu Xiu personally."
Gu Yan tightly gripped the paper in her hand, feeling an urge to tear it apart.
But, what grounds does she have to tear it?
With a triumphant and victorious smile, Nie Rong turned and left, disappearing from sight.
Gu Yan’s body softened, leaning weakly against the wall to support her body weight.
The report in her hand burned her hand, her heart, painfully hot.
It seemed to mock her mercilessly, look, Gu Yan, how foolish you are, how could you believe in Tang Yuxiu’s true heart.
How could you believe that a man like Tang Yuxiu, standing at the top, would look at a woman as ordinary as you?
In this world, there are no fairy tales, it’s just something others say to satisfy their own fantasies, deceiving little girls.
Gu Yan closed her eyes powerlessly, cool liquid sliding from the corner of her eyes, a face full of self-mockery.
If she hadn’t been moved, she wouldn’t be suffering at this moment, unfortunately, she failed to control her own heart, knowing she shouldn’t but still couldn’t help it.
Tang Yuxiu came out of Xiang Linghao’s office and saw Gu Yan sitting on a bench not far away, head bowed quietly, staring at the ground.
Gu Yan was in a daze, suddenly a shadow fell over her head, and a familiar voice sounded, "Did you go see your father?"
Gu Yan’s heart twisted, the dull pain gradually becoming clear, she felt she didn’t even have the strength to stand up.
She looked up, expressionless, staring at Tang Yuxiu’s face.
He looks so handsome, the most handsome man she has ever seen.
But why can’t she see through the heart wrapped in that glamorous exterior?
Tang Yuxiu looked at Gu Yan, who had lifted her head, her face unnaturally pale, eyes a bit red, and couldn’t help but frown.
"What happened?"
Who bullied her again?
Gu Yan stared at him for a while in silence, and a sense of unease gradually rose in Tang Yuxiu’s heart.
"Gu Yan, speak up."
Her silence made him inexplicably restless.
Gu Yan suddenly stood up, took a step closer to him, still staring at his face without even blinking.
Tang Yuxiu clearly felt that something was wrong with Gu Yan at this moment, more obviously wrong than before.
"Tang Yuxiu, I have something to ask you, and I hope you answer me honestly." Gu Yan spoke, her voice a little hoarse.
She was holding back, not wanting to shed tears in front of him.
"What do you want to ask?"
Gu Yan took a deep breath, exhaled, and asked, staring into his eyes, "That night, the night of your promotion party, did anything happen between you and Nie Rong?"
She knew she might not be qualified, but she couldn’t get past the hurdle in her heart without asking clearly.
No matter how Tang Yuxiu regarded her, she was currently labeled as his girlfriend, and another woman had already thrown a pregnancy report in her face, didn’t she have the right to ask even one question?
Tang Yuxiu frowned slightly, puzzled why she brought up this matter again.
He calmly replied, "No."
"No?" Gu Yan repeated softly, "Really nothing?"
Seeing her somewhat lost look, Tang Yuxiu asked, "Gu Yan, did someone say something to you?"
He had just spoken with Xiang Linghao for a bit, and then someone approached her to say something?
Dammit!
Gu Yan suddenly laughed softly, her eyes filled with complex emotions as she looked at Tang Yuxiu.
But what Tang Yuxiu saw most clearly was disappointment and sarcasm.
"Tang Yuxiu, I’ve finally seen you for who you are. You disgust me, I despise you!"
Gu Yan said coldly, then fiercely smashed the crumpled paper she had been holding into his face and turned around.
If she still held a glimmer of hope before, hoping that Tang Yuxiu wasn’t the kind of person she thought he was, then upon hearing his answer, all that was left was disappointment and despair.
The child was already there, how could he say "no" with a straight face!
Did he think Gu Yan was so stupid that he could deceive her, that she would believe whatever he said?
Ha.
If he admitted it, she might have thought he wasn’t so despicable, but he denied it.
Does he also deny his relationship with her in front of Nie Rong?
It doesn’t matter anymore, it really doesn’t matter.
From this moment on, she decided not to love Tang Yuxiu anymore. She really had no taste, how could she fall for such a man.
The paper hit his face, stinging slightly, Tang Yuxiu caught it with his hand but watched her turn decisively, as if there was some contamination here, quickly leaving as if she couldn’t stand to be there a moment longer.
Tang Yuxiu took a step to chase her but didn’t know why she suddenly acted this way.
He stopped, unfolded the paper, and at a glance saw the words "4 weeks pregnant" on the report.
He had no time to react before seeing a name, "Nie Rong"!
This was Nie Rong’s pregnancy report!
In a flash, Tang Yuxiu immediately understood the reason.
His heart trembled, Nie Rong was pregnant?
How could she be pregnant!
He recalled the glaring red on the sheets that morning, and his firmly held belief started to waver at this moment.
The timing of her pregnancy coincided perfectly with that time.
How could this happen?!
He had always believed that he hadn’t touched Nie Rong, even when he saw that red, he stuck to it, but this report made him doubt himself for the first time.
Impossible!
Tang Yuxiu impatiently crumpled the report and threw it forcefully, striding over, stepping on the paper ball, and left without looking back.
Gu Yan left the hospital, watching the cars and crowds on the busy street, not a familiar face among them.
She felt utterly confused and helplessly alone.
Even though it was a hot summer evening, a breeze blew by and she felt a bit cold.
This feeling was like years ago, when she lost her father overnight and witnessed her mother jumping into the sea right in front of her, becoming an orphan.
That numbing pain. As if the whole world was left with only herself.
Gu Yan wandered aimlessly down the street, her mind blank.
When she thought happiness was within her reach, someone dealt her a fatal blow, shattering all her hopes.
What wasn’t meant for her, in the end, was only a delusion.
The wind messed her hair and blurred her vision, but she didn’t have the heart to care.
Tang Yuxiu arrived downstairs at the hospital, looking around, but Gu Yan was nowhere to be seen.
He cursed softly, immediately calling You Shuyang, asking him to track Gu Yan’s whereabouts.
Then he got into his car, slowly driving along the street, searching for Gu Yan’s figure.
There wasn’t a single shadow resembling Gu Yan’s along the streets, and Tang Yuxiu started to panic. Even though he didn’t know how to explain to Gu Yan, he had to find her. He couldn’t allow her to leave!
