Night Fire Lingering

Chapter 308 Two Lines on the Pregnancy Test

The large office fell silent.

Gu Yanci picked up the freshly brewed Biluochun tea from the table, took a sip, and quietly looked at He Tingchuan, waiting for his answer.

He Tingchuan, sitting in the guest seat, stared intently at him, as if he wanted to devour him alive. Gradually, his gaze changed from anxious and fierce to obsessive and bewildered, and a red ring appeared around his eyes.

He Tingchuan's eyelashes fluttered slightly, and he quickly lowered his eyes, letting out a self-deprecating laugh. After a few seconds, he looked up at Gu Yanci again, his voice trembling slightly as he said, "I dare not."

Two seconds later, he added, "I wouldn't dare to steal it."

If we can snatch it, wouldn't it be a better opportunity to do so while we're in China?

If he were to steal from him, he should lock Luo Beiqing up somewhere Wen Yan couldn't find him. Given how much Luo Beiqing values ​​Wen Yan, he could easily use a little trickery to make Luo Beiqing stay obediently by his side for Wen Yan's sake, without asking Wen Yan for help.

The price to pay is that Luo Beiqing will hate him.

I hate him!

Given her fierce nature, she would not hesitate to abort the child, leaving no 'handle' related to him!

Gu Yanci had already seen through He Tingchuan's choice and was not surprised at all—because they were the same kind of people.

“He Tingchuan, I promised my wife that I would provide sufficient bodyguards and a medical team until Luo Yu recovers. During this time, Luo Beiqing will also cultivate his own confidants.”

In short: I will give your wife—no, your ex-wife—the greatest possible security. If you want to take her away, take her from me; it's up to you. If you want to do something else, I won't interfere.

He Tingchuan stared at Gu Yanci for a long time, then picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, and looked away with some disdain.

Neither man said anything explicitly, but everything was understood without being said.

Two seconds later, He Tingchuan chuckled: "Gu Yanci, is this how you tricked Wen Yan back then?"

Gu Yanci shook his head, "My wife and I are childhood sweethearts, and we love each other."

He Tingchuan: "..." Damn it!

Still not satisfied with being accused of deceiving people, Gu Yanci clicked his tongue twice and said, "Young Master He is indeed pitiful. His wife doesn't want him anymore, and his son doesn't even take his surname."

He Tingchuan's face darkened, and he gave a forced smile, "You're not as good as Young Master Gu; you don't even have a son."

Gu Yanci gritted his teeth: "..."

Damn, I should have said one more word to this guy today!

-

Wen Yan was woken up by the ringing of the phone, and only then did she realize that she had fallen asleep on the sofa.

The caller was Gu Yanci.

When Wen Yan answered the phone, Gu Yanci noticed the sleepiness in her voice and was somewhat surprised: "Sleeping?"

It's 11 a.m. now, which is outside of Wen Yan's usual time for sleeping in or taking a nap.

"I accidentally fell asleep." Wen Yan woke up from her drowsiness.

"I'll have the driver pick you up and have lunch with me?" Gu Yanci admitted that he was provoked by He Tingchuan's remark, "You don't have a son."

However, pregnancy and childbirth are extremely dangerous, and Luo Beiqing's recent experiences have made him realize that living a life of just the two of them with Wen Yan is quite nice.

Wen Yan was just about to ask Jiang Xing for advice on her thesis, so she said, "I'll drive myself; it's too much trouble for a driver to pick me up."

……

Gu Yanci arrived at the restaurant ahead of time, and the food had already started being served.

The crispy roast goose in the cold dish looked and smelled delicious; however, a dish that Wen Yan used to quite like made her feel nauseous at this moment.

"I think--"

Before Wen Yan could finish her sentence, she covered her mouth, wanting to find a place to vomit.

"Yan Yan, what's wrong?" Gu Yanci anxiously supported her. "Are you still feeling unwell? We didn't do it last night."

There were waiters serving food nearby. Wen Yan suppressed her nausea and glared at the man fiercely.

Gu Yanci's expression was grim: "I'll call the doctor."

We should have called a doctor last night!

Wen Yan opened her mouth, but before she could utter a single word, she suddenly thought of something, and her eyes flashed with a mixture of astonishment, surprise, disbelief, and other complex emotions.

"I'm going to the restroom." She pushed the man away and picked up her bag.

ten minutes later.

Wen Yan sat on the toilet in the bathroom, looking at the two lines on the pregnancy test with some confusion.

...I've won.
