At the hospital entrance, Liang Yi was sitting in a rather flamboyant supercar, waiting for her.
He didn't just sit around waiting. He whistled and hit on every pretty girl who passed by.
Nan Yu: …
She wondered why Tan Linyuan really sent Liang Yi over.
"Hey! Pregnant lady!" Liang Yi had sharp eyes and immediately spotted Nan Yu getting out of the car. He whistled, then closed the car door in what he thought was a very cool and handsome way, and greeted Nan Yu.
Nan Yu: "…"
For a moment, she really wanted to turn around and leave.
"Let's go. Which department shall we start the check - up from?" Liang Yi didn't care at all. He acted as if they were old friends. "Brother will be your boyfriend for a day today, at your beck and call and obedient."
Although Liang Yi talked a lot, he was really reliable in getting things done.
He accompanied Nan Yu throughout the check - up and didn't complain even once during the waiting time. He was more patient than expected.
The result of the last item would come out in half an hour.
Liang Yi accompanied Nan Yu and waited on the rest chair. From time to time, he told jokes to liven up the atmosphere.
Nan Yu raised her eyebrows and said, "You seem to have a really good relationship with Tan Linyuan."
"We're all good buddies. It's just a small favor." Liang Yi fixed his hair and said narcissistically, "Let's get one thing straight. This is just for one day. Don't fall in love with me for real. That would be troublesome."
Although their personalities were completely different, they got along surprisingly well, which made Nan Yu wonder, "How did you two get to know each other?"
"We just got to know each other like this and that." Liang Yi lay back on the chair, putting his hands behind his head, and said casually, "His parents don't care about him, while my parents love me too much. We just complement each other."
Nan Yu: "…"
She had never seen such a brazen person...
Seeing that Liang Yi was so unruly, Nan Yu said casually, "You don't look like the young master of the Liang family. You look more like Tan Linyuan's lackey."
"Nonsense." Liang Yi rolled his eyes. "We call it an alliance. We made a covenant to achieve a common goal together."
Hearing this, Nan Yu immediately became interested. "What kind of covenant?"
"Shh - it's a secret that cannot be revealed."
Seeing him deliberately being mysterious, Nan Yu snorted, "I know even if you don't tell me. You two want to break away and start your own business."
"Damn it!" Liang Yi was so shocked that he almost fell off the chair. "How do you know? Did Tan Linyuan tell you?"
Nan Yu: "… I just guessed."
She knew exactly about Tan Linyuan's situation, and she also knew a bit about Liang Yi.
Liang Yi was the younger son, but his parents had already regarded him as a good - for - nothing playboy and had put all their business focus on his elder brother, Liang Rong.
There were even outside speculations that Liang Rong would handle all of the Liang family's business in the future.
If Liang Yi were really a good - for - nothing playboy, he would be happy to be idle.
But he wasn't.
He had great ambitions and naturally didn't want to be underestimated.
Nan Yu was lost in thought.
"Do you have any other check - ups?" Liang Yi glanced at the time. "It's time to pick up the check - up report. Wait for me here?"
Nan Yu was just about to say that she could go by herself, but then she suddenly remembered something and changed her words. "I need to go to the doctor to ask about my physical condition. Please go for me."
"It's a piece of cake." Liang Yi shrugged indifferently. "We'll meet here later. Don't get lost."
Watching Liang Yi walk away, Nan Yu got up without hesitation.
She lay back on the examination bed.
"Miss Nan Yu, get ready for the amniocentesis." The doctor flipped through the medical record and then turned to the nurse and gave instructions.
Nan Yu tightened her palms slightly.
She had made this check - up appointment by herself. It was not within the scope of the original check - up items.
"I need to explain the risks in advance. Amniocentesis may affect the stability of the fetus. You may feel weak and fatigued afterwards. You should pay attention to rest and avoid strenuous exercise."
"Okay."
…
After the check - up, Nan Yu felt weak in her legs, dizzy and weak, and her face was a bit pale.
The doctor told Nan Yu to come and pick up the check - up report in three days.
When she returned to the original place, Liang Yi was almost asleep, leaning against the chair. When he saw her, he quickly opened his eyes. "Let's go. Tan has finished his meeting. He's here to pick you up."
Nan Yu didn't have much strength and just nodded.
Liang Yi noticed that her face looked bad. "Didn't you finish all the blood - drawing tests? Your face looks so bad."
"I missed one test. It's okay." Nan Yu replied vaguely.
Fortunately, Liang Yi didn't think much about it. He just walked over and stretched out his arm, saying boldly, "Let's go. Hold on to me. I can't afford to compensate if you fall."
Nan Yu gave him a grateful smile.
---
Three days later, the check - up results came out.
Nan Yu called Qu Jiaran and asked her to pick up the report and send it to Tan Jinxian's address.
Qu Jiaran was puzzled. "Yuyu, why don't you ask Tan Linyuan to pick it up for you?"
Nan Yu said, "He's been a bit busy recently. I have to trouble you."
When Qu Jiaran heard the first half of the sentence, she was about to frown, but when she heard the second half, she immediately became happy. "He's not available, but I'm always available. I'm available for anything related to you! Don't worry. I'll definitely complete the task!"
Nan Yu said, "Thank you. I'll treat you to dinner some other day."
Qu Jiaran said excitedly, "I'll hold you to that, Yuyu! You have to keep your promise!"
After hanging up the phone, Nan Yu let out a sigh of relief.
But when she turned around, Tan Linyuan was standing behind her, staring at her.
Her heart sank suddenly.
"Who were you calling?" Tan Linyuan glanced at her. "And you're going to treat someone to dinner?"
Nan Yu's heart was pounding, but she still pretended to be calm. "I was chatting with Qu Jiaran on the phone, asking about her recent situation."
Judging from Tan Linyuan's tone, he probably only heard the part about her treating Qu Jiaran to dinner some other day.
In fact, that was exactly the case. Tan Linyuan just happened to open the door and come in. He didn't react too much. He just said casually, "Your relationship is getting better and better."
"After all, we're both pregnant. We can exchange some experiences." Nan Yu found a good excuse.
Tan Linyuan didn't suspect anything. He just hooked his finger at her. "Let's go. The meal is ready. Let's go and eat."
Nan Yu walked over and quietly let out a sigh of relief in her heart.
She didn't want to see him betrayed by everyone and turning against his relatives; nor did she want him to fall into controversy and be alone and controversial.
He was like the sun hanging high in the sky. She couldn't bear to see even a slightest decline of him.
If just taking a check - up could dispel the concerns of the elders in the Tan family and resolve the misunderstandings and conflicts among them, it wasn't that unacceptable.
It was just a check - up, she thought.
At the same time.
In the Tan family's mansion.
Tan Jinxian was looking at the check - up report brought in by the servant. After confirming that the fetus in Nan Yu's womb had the same blood relationship as Tan Linyuan, his eyebrows gradually knitted together.
"Not bad. It's still a boy."
Hearing this, the servant immediately flattered with a smile, "Congratulations, Second Young Master. Congratulations to the Tan family for adding a young master..."
"What's there to congratulate?" Tan Jinxian looked up, and a hint of coldness flashed in his vicissitudinous old eyes.
The servant was puzzled and looked up blankly.
Tan Jinxian sighed, looking worried and meaningful. "This child has a rough fate. Whether he can be born or not is still uncertain."
