At the side, Bai Yeqing seemed to sense her fluctuating emotions. He stopped flipping through the book in his hands and turned to look at her twice.
Over there, Fu Yichen was silent for a long time, as if he was struggling.
After a long silence, the person on the other end of the phone finally spoke softly, "Actually... that child has nothing to do with me."
Xia Xingchen seemed confused and was stunned for a moment. After a while, he asked again, "So, what Dr. Fu means is... that woman is not your wife?"
"..." This time, Fu Yichen did not speak again.
Xia Xingchen thought that he would immediately affirm her words, but after waiting and waiting, she still did not receive Fu Yichen's affirmation of her words.
My heart sank.
I feel sorry for Weiyang.
After a long sigh, she continued, "Doctor Fu, since you already have a legal wife, you don't have to worry about the baby in Weiyang's belly anymore... I think, no matter whose baby it is, it is hers now. She left so decisively, she must want to start all over again."
On the other end, Fu Yichen was breathing heavily. He didn't hang up, but continued to ask stubbornly: "Ms. Xia, this is very important to me! Is that child... mine?"
Xia Xingchen had sympathized with Wei Yang's experience. Now that she knew that he was indeed a married man and was still pestering her, she felt indignant, "Is Doctor Fu so confused? You don't ask yourself whether the child is yours, but ask me instead. Isn't this ridiculous?"
Fu Yichen was speechless after hearing her harsh words.
Xia Xingchen knew that he was also upset, but she really couldn't understand him. She calmed down and said, "It's getting late now. If Dr. Fu is fine, I'll hang up first."
"… Yeah." He didn't ask any more questions, because she was right. He should be the one who knew best whether it was his child or not. That night… it was Wei Yang! It had to be her!
"There is one more thing, Miss Xia..." Fu Yichen spoke again before hanging up the phone.
She paused as she was about to hang up, only to hear Fu Yichen say, "I have been in Zhongshan for the past two days. This incident regarding his background has had a significant psychological impact on Mr. Bai, so it has directly affected his body, which had originally recovered well."
Xia Xingchen's heart twisted.
His breathing became heavier, "Is it serious?"
When she was packing up to leave, her mother clearly said that it was no problem and that it would be nice for them to come out and relax.
"The fever has been high for two days and has not subsided. As for the follow-up situation, we need to follow up more. And Madam Lanting..."
"she… "
"You are more or less aware of her previous physical condition. This time, she has taken a lot of damage from taking care of the Second Master. If she continues to be exhausted like this, it will be fatal to her body and cannot be repaired. So... Miss Xia, if you have time, I hope you can give them more advice. Their current physical conditions are... quite dangerous."
Xia Xingchen subconsciously clenched his phone and breathed heavily.
She knew that the word "relatively dangerous" was a very euphemistic term used by Dr. Fu. If it was really just "relatively dangerous", he would not have mentioned it at this critical moment when they were going on vacation.
"I see. Thank you."
"I'm just doing my job as a doctor. Well, I won't bother you anymore."
"Good night."
After hanging up the phone, Xia Xingchen was anxious. She flipped through his phone book, found the word "uncle", and was about to call. But the next moment, a big hand took her phone away from her.
She looked up at him.
"It's already midnight in China. Calling them now will not help. Instead, it will wake them up."
Xia Xingchen was stunned for a moment, then lowered his shoulders awkwardly.
In fact, she originally thought that her feelings for her newly recognized parents were not as deep as those for her adoptive mother Shen Min. She was still somewhat unfamiliar and reserved with them, not as comfortable and casual as she was in front of Shen Min.
But, blood is thicker than water...
The worry did not fade even a little bit because of the unfamiliarity. My heart was in a mess, I felt guilty and felt that I was not filial.
Bai Yeqing knew what she was thinking at the moment, so he stretched out his arms, pulled her in, and let her lean on his chest.
She was still angry with him before, but now, leaning against his chest and listening to his heartbeat, all the anger disappeared. She just instinctively hugged his waist.
"Did you hear what Doctor Fu said just now?" she asked softly.
"A little bit." Although I couldn't hear it clearly, I could vaguely guess something from her reaction.
"We'll go back tomorrow, okay?"
He knew that her mind was no longer on vacation. He stroked her bare arm with his big hand and said "hmm".
"Wouldn't that be a big letdown?"
"There is ample time."
Xia Xingchen could imagine that Xia Dabai would be disappointed. He had just made an appointment with her to take a submarine to see the beautiful underwater world tomorrow. Now it seemed that all plans had to be postponed.
She was thinking in a mess, and the sporadic sleepiness she had originally felt was now completely gone.
As he thought about it, his attention shifted to the bed where they were currently sleeping.
The images of him and other women flashed through her mind again. She felt particularly uncomfortable lying on the bed. She climbed up from his chest in an instant.
Bai Yeqing reacted faster than her and pulled her back before she got off the bed. As soon as she struggled, his tall body turned over and pinned her down.
"It's late at night, and you seem to be getting more and more energetic! If you didn't explain the reason to me today, I'll kill you right here!" Bai Yeqing clasped her hands with one hand and pinched her chin with the other, not giving her a chance to look around.
Xia Xingchen bit her lip and lowered her eyes, refusing to look at him.
His eyes were fixed on her, making her scalp numb. However, if she told him that she was brooding over his past... wouldn't it be embarrassing? Besides, she wasn't really brooding over it, it was just...
Perhaps, the more you like someone, the more you love him/her, the smaller your heart will become.
It was so small that she even wanted to take over his past.
However, I clearly know that it is impossible. I am so stingy, how annoying!
"If you don't want to talk about it, then let me settle the score with you!"
"What account do I have to settle?" Xia Xingchen looked at her strangely.
"You took my son out to parade around the city before, and you dared to let him and Yu Zenan become brothers. What were you thinking? Did you want them to develop a good relationship so that it would be easier to find a stepfather for my son? Huh?"
