Chapter 373: Chapter 357: Look, This is the Baby We are Going to Have
"Sister Ji, did Young Master Leng agree to come?"
At the hospital entrance, Xiao Liu watched the expression on Ji Wei’s face change from "rain" to "shine" and let out a long sigh of relief.
Ji Wei nodded, her eyes sparkling with laughter, "Yan said he’ll be here soon, Xiao Liu, I think he really cares about me."
"Of course." Xiao Liu quickly accompanied her with an appropriate smile, but inwardly lamented to the heavens, wondering if women are always so suspicious during pregnancy.
Young Master Leng treats Ji Wei so well, if it were her, she’d be too elated to remember her own name, let alone be this uneasy.
Day in and day out, anxious and preoccupied, without considering how busy this man is, yet he still makes time to accompany her.
From afar, Leng Yan’s car arrived. As soon as the car stopped, Ji Wei was about to run over, but Xiao Liu held her hand tightly: "Sister Ji, don’t run, it’s not good for the baby."
The baby, always the baby!
Ji Wei glanced down at her slightly swelling abdomen, feeling both resentful and grateful. When she lifted her eyes again, they were filled with tenderness, and she smiled gently, "Yan, you’re here."
As she spoke, she naturally hooked her arm around Leng Yan’s and swayed slightly, speaking with a bit of grievance, "Have you been busy with work lately? You’ve been coming to my place less and less. I’ve waited for you to eat several times, and the dishes were cold, yet you still hadn’t arrived."
"A bit busy. Eldest brother is not around lately, and the old man is not in good health. A lot of things have fallen on my shoulders." Leng Yan wanted to push her away but held back, rubbing his temples with one hand, sighing wearily, "Let’s go inside. I still have to return to the company later."
He spent as little time as possible with her, the fewer seconds, the better. Thankfully, the day of results wasn’t far away. The thought of being with Nuannuan solemnly and formally welcoming Nuannuan into the family always filled his heart with hope.
No matter how disgusting, he had to endure it.
Leng Ye came out of the hospital and stopped sharply beside a big tree. Taking a step back, he hid behind it. He watched Leng Yan and Ji Wei through the gaps in the pine branches, a smirk of cold mockery curling his lips.
Nuannuan was Leng Yan’s soft spot, but Ji Wei’s child was as well. Remembering a photo Ji Wei had sent him of Tan Qing holding Wen Nuan, his eyes filled with increasing derision.
Leng Yan was entangled by Ji Wei’s child, and that photo had transformed his love for Nuannuan into hate, while Tan Qing was under his parents’ control. It was time for Leng Ye to have Nuannuan.
Watching Leng Yan lovingly talking to Ji Wei, Leng Ye slowly retreated from behind the tree and left on a further path. He sat in the car and called Wen Nuan.
"JOE?"
As Tong Xi and Wen Nuan left Fenglin District, about to head to the next attraction, they saw Leng Ye’s call, filling their hearts with a strange feeling.
Leng Yan had said that Leng Ye regretted breaking off the engagement, since then, she had been uneasy. During this time, Leng Ye had called her, only for chatting without a trace of emotional talk, yet her heart couldn’t relax.
Leng Ye watched Leng Yan and Ji Wei’s figures disappear at the outpatient building entrance, cleared his throat, and then gently asked, "Nuannuan, have you read the book I gave you?"
"The one you gave me when I returned to City E?" Wen Nuan was slightly stunned, puzzled as to why Leng Ye asked this. She replied truthfully, "I was in a hurry when I went back, left the book at home, and didn’t get to read it."
"Nuannuan, are you not planning to return to City T?" Disappointment slid through Leng Ye’s eyes, but then they softened even more.
That book, not only about design but also his heartfelt words to her. He hoped that one day she could understand his heart.
"I don’t want to go back for now." Wen Nuan laughed helplessly, "I’m with Xixi now, traveling around is quite nice. I’ll go back after she returns to France."
"I know what you’re trying to avoid, but since it already happened, you need to face it. Nuannuan..."
Leng Ye called her name lowly, sighing deeply, "I heard from Tan Qing that you still have some feelings for Yan. But you should understand that Leng Yan values the child very much. I feel it’s not worth it for you, Nuannuan, do you know what I just saw?"
"What?"
Wen Nuan was taken aback, almost instinctively asking as her voice rose a bit. Fortunately, Tong Xi, leaning on her shoulder and still asleep, wasn’t disturbed. She exhaled, calming her heart, vaguely sensing the answer.
"I just came out of the hospital and saw Leng Yan accompanying Ji Wei for her prenatal checkup."
"It’s quite normal, as the child’s father, he should go." Wen Nuan felt a bit sour inside, knowing she felt uneasy. But she also knew it was a necessary matter, Leng Yan needed to maneuver in front of Ji Wei, how could he miss accompanying the pregnant woman’s checkups?
"Nuannuan." Leng Ye was surprised at her calmness, and when he was about to say something, Wen Nuan’s slightly annoyed voice came through:
"I don’t want to hear about them anymore, if there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up first."
Looking at the disconnected phone, complex emotions mingled in Leng Ye’s mind.
"Nuannuan, whose call was it?" Tong Xi woke up, rubbed her eyes, caught the loneliness in Wen Nuan’s eyes, and gently clasped her hand. Wen Nuan pretended to be relaxed, "Leng Yan went to accompany her for a prenatal checkup."
"Wow, he’s really serious, huh? Damn, that woman is so arrogant!" If Wen Nuan hadn’t held her back, Tong Xi would have almost shouted Ji Wei’s name. Her eyes were flaming, "Damn it, so shameless, she really wants to latch onto your husband, Nuannuan. I think we should stop traveling. She’s really asking for it. We should corner her at her place, give her a good beating to show her who’s the real one?"
"Just bear with it a bit longer." Wen Nuan smiled helplessly. The car stopped, and she and Tong Xi got off one after the other, yet the scenery before their eyes couldn’t cheer them up. Subconsciously, she looked down at her own abdomen. Yan loved children, she knew, and she also longed to have a baby, one that belonged to both of them.
But who knew how long she’d have to wait.
Leng Yan watched Ji Wei enter the ultrasound room, walked to the window, touched a cigarette but put it back. He took out his phone, looked at the pictures sent by Wen Nuan, and a smile slowly crept onto his lips. After a long pause, his fingers deftly typed a message to Wen Nuan: "Miss you."
Just a simple phrase, but typed with sincerity. Just before hitting the send button, Ji Wei’s joyful voice came: "Yan."
Leng Yan’s face clouded over, he clenched his fist, but when he turned, his eyes were filled with tenderness, "Out so soon, what did the doctor say?"
"The doctor said the baby is very healthy, Yan, look." Ji Wei smiled, eagerly thrusting an ultrasound report in front of him, "Yan, look quickly, this is our baby."
