Chapter 1905: Getting Scolded Again
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
When they saw her walking into the examination room calmly, there was an uproar.
What… was going on?
Was this woman pregnant too?
Was it also that man’s?
Tsk tsk tsk, what sin had she committed…!!
Ji Fengmian’s entire examination process was calm and expressionless.
The nurse beside her did not even dare to say a word. She even felt that it was inappropriate to smile.
If it was any other pregnant woman, the pregnancy test would be sweet and intense.
She was pregnant with a brand new life, the fruit of love, and a future filled with anticipation. There were too many extraordinary meanings that were worth being happy about.
Although there were exceptions, this was the first time she had seen someone like her.
After checking, she took the list and entered the office.
The doctor looked at the data on the list and gave her a rough explanation.
There were no problems at the moment. She reminded him of some things that he should pay attention to during the early stages of pregnancy.
However, there was no response.
Ji Fengmian seemed to be thinking about something.
“What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”
Ji Fengmian looked up at the doctor and then at the list in his hand. A few seconds later, he said,
“When is the best time to get rid of him?”
The doctor was stunned. “Huh?”
This… The attitude of someone who had just been found pregnant was completely different.
Wasn’t she quite happy then?
“The best time is six to seven weeks. You can naturally do it now… But you…”
Ji Fengmian pursed his lips and rubbed his stomach with his thumb.
After a long while, she stood up and took the forms. After thanking him casually, she walked out of the office.
There were still many people waiting in the waiting room. When they saw her, their gazes landed on her.
He was especially curious about her.
Naturally, she ignored him and left the gynecology department.
As for where Chu Boyang had carried Ji Qing, she didn’t know and didn’t want to know.
She took the elevator to the underground garage and drove away.
She found a breakfast shop and bought porridge. After finishing it alone, she drove home.
Uncle Chu and Chu Jing went to the company. Aunt Chu must have gone to the company.
She changed her clothes and sat on the sofa to turn on the television. With her hand on the armrest, she leaned back and stared at the entertainment news on the television with a calm expression.
When Aunt Chu returned from the supermarket and saw her at home, she smiled and asked, “You didn’t go to school today?”
Ji Fengmian straightened his body and grunted.
“Perfect, I bought a lot of fruits. Wait here, I’ll get them for you.”
Ji Fengmian changed the channel. “Thank you, Aunt Chu.”
Auntie Chu handed the fruits to her. “What do you want to eat for lunch?”
As Ji Fengmian ate the fruits, he thought of a small shop he had accidentally passed by today.
“Have you eaten sour and spicy noodles before?”
Aunt Chu shook her head. After all, she had come here from Country Y. She was adapting to her diet, but she was not curious about such a niche and extreme food. She had rarely heard of it, so she had never eaten it before.
Ji Fengmian nodded. “Why don’t we try that in the afternoon? I’ll check online.”
Aunt Chu naturally wouldn’t refuse.
The steps were simple. She ate lunch on time.
Aunt Chu made two simple dishes to accompany her.
Seeing how satisfied Ji Fengmian was, she took a bite.
She immediately coughed from the spiciness.
She quickly got up and poured a glass of milk.
Aunt Chu looked like she was amused, but Ji Fengmian’s face turned cold.
She continued eating with a cold face, looking a little numb.
She had never liked eating anything spicy and pungent before.
But now, she felt that she liked these things more.
She knew why, but she didn’t like the change.
She was Ji Fengmian and could only be herself.
She didn’t want to change herself because of anyone, especially Chu Boyan.
But it was because of him.
Something like this that she wouldn’t even look at in the past actually made her feel like she had to have it now.
She hated the feeling of being dominated by something.
It was as if she had a weakness. As long as someone threatened her, she would definitely waver or even be forced to give up something.
She didn’t like it. She hated it.
Aunt Chu slowed down slightly and walked to the dining table, not intending to take another bite.
When she saw Ji Fengmian eating as if he had no sense of taste, she wiped the sweat off her forehead and asked, “Miss, since when… did you like to eat such things? Haven’t you always had light tastes?”
“… I’m just curious. I saw a small shop with good business today. Many people are waiting in line. I think it should be delicious.”
“No, no, I really can’t compliment such things. Do you… still want to eat?”
Ji Fengmian nodded. “Yes, it’s best if you can get sick of it in the shortest time possible.”
Aunt Chu couldn’t quite understand her thoughts. Seeing how insistent she was, she didn’t say anything and silently poured the noodles she had only taken a bite of into the kitchen.
During her afternoon nap, her phone rang.
Ji Fengmian, who was sound asleep, frowned immediately. Judging from her actions, it was enough to prove that she was annoyed by the sudden awakening.
After answering the call, Ji Fengmian asked angrily, “Who is it?”
There was a pause on the other end of the line. “Mian?”
Her eyelids moved slightly and her eyelashes fluttered. Then, she slowly opened her eyes.
Her eyes were still misty, but they were quickly covered by coldness.
“What’s the matter?”
It was obvious that Ji Fengmian had been woken up by him, but Chu Boyang still heaved a sigh of relief.
“You’re home now?”
Her sleepiness had long been shattered by Chu Boyang. She got up and leaned against the headboard.
Hearing this, he sneered.
“Why? Do I have to bring a fruit basket to visit her and take care of her with you?”
Chu Boyang stood by the window at the end of the hospital corridor and massaged his temples.
“When did you go back?”
Ji Fengmian laughed and said, “I’m home now. I wasn’t kidnapped. If I was really kidnapped, wouldn’t I be tortured to death now?”
Chu Boyang’s hand froze and his eyes darkened.
“Don’t spout nonsense.”
Ji Fengmian smiled. “Of course it’s nonsense. Even if I’m really kidnapped, I won’t contact you. Besides, you probably don’t have the time to care about me.”
Ji Fengmian’s emotions clearly didn’t allow him to say anything more to her over the phone.
“I’ll look for you now.”
“Come and try.” Ji Fengmian’s voice was cold and hard. “If you want to hear me say that I want to break up, come over. If not, don’t appear in front of me at this time. I’m even annoyed by your voice now.”
“Mian, you have to listen to my explanation today.”
“Are you out of your mind? I said I don’t want to listen to you. Can’t you understand?”
Chu Boyang was speechless.
Ji Fengmian was the only woman who could say such things to him.
“I also think that you don’t have much time to explain to me now. It’s quite tiring to be sandwiched between two women. I won’t make things difficult for you. Just focus on taking care of her. If you really come uninvited, Chu Boyang, let me tell you, the moment we meet will be the moment I completely sever ties with you.”
With that, he hung up without giving Chu Boyang a chance to speak.
Ji Fengmian’s temper…
Chu Boyang had a headache. He stood in front of the window with his eyes closed for a long time.
“President Chen.”
The assistant’s voice sounded behind him. Chu Boyang opened his eyes slowly and after two seconds of silence, he turned around slowly.
“What is it?”
“Wang Chengwei has been released from prison.”
Chu Boyang’s face darkened and his frown revealed his emotions.
The assistant looked troubled. “I’ve already tried everything. I really can’t hold it in anymore.”
Chu Boyang’s temples throbbed violently. He massaged his temples and said after a while,
“Arrange for more people to guard the hospital.”
The assistant nodded with a serious expression. “Yes.”
After a moment of silence, the assistant said, “The leaders of the various departments are waiting for you to have a meeting. You’ve delayed the development of the new project for a few days.”
Chu Boyang was indeed a little tired these few days, but he still went to Ji Qing’s ward to take a look. Seeing that she was sleeping soundly, he instructed his assistant to guard her well before leaving the hospital.
Ji Qing woke up not long after. Seeing the familiar ward, she heaved a sigh of relief.
She sat up slowly and looked at the empty ward. Her hand slowly moved to her stomach.
As if she had thought of something, the hand on her stomach gradually tightened. She bit her lips and tears flowed silently.
If Ji Fengmian hadn’t forced her, she wouldn’t have done this.
This child had to stay.
She couldn’t back down now.
From the start, she had known that her decision was a dead end. There was no turning back.
Hugging her knees, she curled up on the bed and cried out sadly.
When Chu Boyang’s assistant, who was guarding the door, heard the sound, he opened the door and walked in. When he saw Ji Qing crying sadly, his head hurt.
“Miss Ji, you’re awake. Are you feeling unwell?”
Ji Qing shook her head. “Where’s Brother Boyan?”
“He went to the company for a meeting. The meeting is very important. He has already postponed the meeting for three days because of you. If he doesn’t go to the company soon, the other leaders will cause trouble.”
Chu Boyang had even postponed a very important meeting for her. This made her both happy and guilty.
He still cared about her like before.
She had never thought of staying by his side as his other half.
As long as he didn’t ignore her, it was enough.
Biting her lips, she wiped the tears off her face and looked up at her assistant. “My phone is out of battery. Can you lend me your phone?”
The assistant didn’t refuse. He took out his phone and asked, “Are you trying to contact someone?”
Ji Qing didn’t intend to hide it from him. Since he was here, he would know if she came.
“I want to call Sister Mian. I have something to say to her.”
The assistant had just unlocked his phone and was about to hand it to her when he heard her words. He retracted his phone instinctively.
Ji Qing’s hand missed and she looked at him in confusion. “What’s wrong?”
The assistant put his phone away. “Miss Ji doesn’t have a good temper to begin with, and she seems to have misunderstood CEO Chu. When they were on the phone just now, CEO Chu seemed to have been scolded badly by Miss Ji…”
Both Ji Qing and the assistant felt that it was unbelievable for Chu Boyang to be scolded.
However, when they thought about how the person who scolded him was Ji Fengmian, they didn’t find it strange. They even felt that it was easy to accept that he was normal.
However, Ji Fengmian wasn’t someone who scolded others often. Other than Chu Boyang, if she scolded anyone else, they would find it unbelievable and unacceptable.
In short, the way the two of them interacted was different from others. It was subtle and strange.
In the end, it was impossible for Ji Fengmian to scold Chu Boyang often. Hence, when he heard her scold him again, he knew that she couldn’t be provoked now.
Whoever provoked her would be unlucky.
Retracting her hand, Ji Qing didn’t have the guts to provoke her.
The assistant heaved a sigh of relief. “Let’s wait for her to calm down first.”
Ji Qing nodded and lowered her head. After a moment of silence, she suddenly asked, “Did Sister Mian… really come to the hospital to visit me today? How did she know when I was going for the checkup and specially waited for us there?”
The assistant asked doubtfully, “Huh?” He didn’t understand why she would suddenly ask this question. Moreover, he wasn’t very sure.
“It might be a coincidence. Since she said so, she must have received some specific news…”
“… Is that so?”
Ji Qing nodded thoughtfully, seemingly believing him.
After a moment of silence, she lifted the blanket and got out of bed.
“I’m a little bored and want to go out for some air.”
The assistant opened his mouth but didn’t say anything. He followed behind her.
Ji Qing frowned when she saw two people guarding the door.
She asked her assistant, “Why are there so many people?”
The assistant said ambiguously, “Ah… Director Chu is concerned about you.”
Ji Qing thought for a while. “Are you worried that Sister Mian will be unhappy if I look for her, so you sent someone to keep an eye on me?”
The assistant shook his head in amusement. “Miss Ji, you’re thinking too much. Even Director Chu doesn’t dare to provoke Miss Ji. If it’s you, would you dare to go?”
Ji Qing pursed her lips and asked, “Then why?”
The assistant’s smile stiffened. Why did he explain so much just now? Why didn’t he let her think that Director Chu was afraid that she would disturb Miss Ji?
Sensing his abnormality, Ji Qing stopped in her tracks and turned to look at him. “What happened?”
The assistant looked troubled.
“If you don’t want to tell me, I’ll go to the company and ask Brother Boyan.”
He was about to leave when his assistant stopped him.
“It’s like this…”
Ji Qing looked at him.
“Wang Chengwei has been released from prison.”
Ji Qing’s face turned pale.
Her body swayed uncontrollably.
“Wang… Wang Chengwei…”
The assistant helped her up. “You don’t have to be afraid. Perhaps after being locked up for so many years, that bit of hatred should have faded. Moreover, with Director Chu around, he won’t let you be in danger again.”
