Tan Linyuan noticed a change in Nan Yu's expression, so he also looked up and followed her gaze.
"Who did you see?" Tan Linyuan asked.
Nan Yu broke free from Tan Linyuan's hand and chased after the figure's back.
Seeing this, Tan Linyuan was worried about her and followed suit.
At the moment of turning the corner, Nan Yu finally caught up and shouted to the person, "Qi Zhu!"
Qi Zhu's body stiffened for a second, but finally turned around. "Hello, Miss Nan."
Qi Zhu always stayed close to Qu Jiaran.
If he could be seen in the hospital, it meant that Qu Jiaran was also in the hospital.
That was why Nan Yu chased after him after quickly analyzing this.
"Is Qu Jiaran hospitalized?" Nan Yu asked him directly.
The heart surgery had been very successful, and the doctor had said at that time that she wouldn't have any problems for more than a decade.
Suddenly showing up in the hospital now, did it mean her condition had worsened?
Qi Zhu hesitated, not knowing what to say for a moment. "No, the young lady just came for some examinations."
"For examinations on this floor?"
Nan Yu continued to ask. This floor was all for the gynecology and obstetrics department. What kind of examinations was Qu Jiaran having here?
Qi Zhu was naturally not good at speaking. Nan Yu's few questions left him speechless.
"Miss Nan, maybe I should just take you to the young lady's ward." Qi Zhu lowered his head. "It's more appropriate for you to ask her directly."
Nan Yu thought so too. After all, Qi Zhu was just Qu Jiaran's bodyguard, and he couldn't casually discuss his employer's privacy.
At this time, Nan Yu didn't notice anything strange about Qi Zhu.
Only Tan Linyuan's eyes fell on Qi Zhu from time to time, with a meaningful look in them.
In the ward.
Qu Jiaran was half - lying on the bed, looking normal.
"Yuyu!" Qu Jiaran was extremely excited when she saw Nan Yu. "I haven't seen you for so long. I miss you so much!"
Saying that, she reached out to hug Nan Yu.
Nan Yu interrupted her before she could touch her. "Why are you in the hospital?"
She asked straightforwardly, skipping the affectionate sister - to - sister part of expressing love for each other.
After getting along with Qu Jiaran for so long, she still couldn't get used to her golden - retriever - like enthusiasm.
Hearing Nan Yu's question, Qu Jiaran looked at Qi Zhu and then at Tan Linyuan standing beside him.
"I only want to talk to you."
Nan Yu was stunned for a second, realizing that Qu Jiaran wanted Tan Linyuan to leave. So she turned to look at him.
"I'll come in in ten minutes." Tan Linyuan didn't ask any more questions. He just turned around and followed Qi Zhu out.
Now, there were only Qu Jiaran and Nan Yu in the ward.
Nan Yu said, "Tell me. What on earth is going on?"
Qu Jiaran then said excitedly with a big smile, "Let me tell you. I'm actually pregnant."
Pregnant?
Nan Yu was stunned and subconsciously looked at Qu Jiaran's flat abdomen.
"I'm only one month along. You can't see anything yet." She winked playfully at Nan Yu. "Calculated, my baby is two months younger than yours, Yuyu."
Nan Yu almost choked.
"Whose baby is it?" The moment Nan Yu asked, she already had a candidate in mind.
But she wasn't sure.
"Qi Zhu's." Qu Jiaran's eyes curved. "He's the only man around me."
... She knew it!
No wonder Qi Zhu had been so abnormal in the corridor just now, hesitating and not saying a word for a long time. It wasn't just because Qu Jiaran was pregnant.
It was because he was the father of the baby!
Nan Yu didn't know what to say for a moment. After being silent for a while, she asked hesitantly, "Are you being too impulsive?"
"Maybe a bit, but isn't it normal to be impulsive when you're young?" Qu Jiaran didn't care at all.
Nan Yu was still very shocked, but she tried to appear calm. "He's your bodyguard. The relationship between you two..."
Qu Jiaran said seriously, "Yuyu, Qi Zhu has a really good figure."
"..."
"He even has eight - pack abs! And his thighs are extremely strong. The first time we did it, we lasted for a whole..."
She held up three fingers.
"Stop." Nan Yu interrupted her before Qu Jiaran could go any further. "I'm not interested in Qi Zhu's abilities in that aspect."
She just wanted to know how Qu Jiaran got together with Qi Zhu.
Qu Jiaran had to say that on a rainy night some time ago, she was bored at home and opened a bottle of sweet wine that someone had given her.
"Aren't you not supposed to drink?" Nan Yu found a flaw in her words. "Then how could you get drunk?"
Even though the surgery had been successful, Qu Jiaran's body still couldn't handle alcohol.
"... You're really hard to fool." Qu Jiaran pouted. "Okay, I seduced him."
Nan Yu: "..."
It was raining heavily that night, with lightning and thunder outside. Qu Jiaran was scared alone, so she asked Qi Zhu to sleep with her in the bed.
Qi Zhu kept refusing, but when he saw Qu Jiaran looking terrified because of the lightning outside, he just couldn't bear it.
When he changed his clothes and got into the bed, he found that Qu Jiaran was naked.
"You know I don't like to sleep with clothes on."
Qu Jiaran made it all sound so natural. "Then we did it. Although it was his first time, his physical condition was quite good. And later his skills gradually improved..."
"Enough." Nan Yu wanted to cover her ears. "Keep your private life to yourself."
"Hehe, I just have no one to talk to." Qu Jiaran hugged Nan Yu's arm coquettishly. "I just want to enjoy life better."
Apart from the initial shock, Nan Yu wasn't actually that hard to accept this.
After all, her relationship with Tan Linyuan at the beginning wasn't exactly proper either.
Modern society was very open. Sex was just a normal need.
Nan Yu was very open - minded about this.
But pregnancy was different.
Nan Yu asked her, "If it's just for enjoyment, why did you get pregnant?"
Qu Jiaran said with a smile, "It's no fun wearing a condom."
... Nan Yu was speechless again.
She was sure that Qu Jiaran was really too bold in this aspect.
Nan Yu said helplessly, "So are you going to have an abortion next?"
"Why have an abortion? It's very difficult for me to get pregnant. If I have an abortion, I don't know if I can get pregnant again."
Nan Yu had to ask, "Does your father know about this?"
"He doesn't know yet, but I definitely can't hide it when my belly gets big. I'll just confess then."
Qu Jiaran seemed very casual. "By then, even if he asks me to have an abortion, it'll be too late. It's a win - win situation."
Nan Yu took a deep breath.
If she had a daughter like this, she would already be pinching the space between her nose and upper lip by now.
Nan Yu said, "So are you going to marry Qi Zhu?"
"I don't want to marry a bodyguard. It's already an honor for him that the child can call him dad."
This statement was very much in line with Qu Jiaran's style.
But her free - spiritedness didn't mean she would be recognized by the secular world.
No one would accept an unmarried pregnant woman.
Even if she was the young lady of the Qu family, it wouldn't work.
