My Lovely Wife is a Forensic Doctor - Chapter 143
Chapter 143 Yin Anran Is Pregnant with His Child?!
Assistant Yin was pregnant with President Qin’s child.
This was what Mu Yu concluded from the gossip.
Impossible!
For all those touching words he just said to her last night, how could he…
She was then reminded of his unpredictable behavior yesterday. Furthermore, she hadn’t seen him in a few days, which she couldn’t help but feel anxious and distraught about.
Is he away these few days to accompany Yin Anran? Were they going to abort their child?!
Her face turned pale, and she suddenly felt dazed and dizzy, so much so she almost fainted.
Soon, her presence was noticed by the other ladies, whereupon they looked at each other in a panic and scattered manner—just like frightened birds.
Mu Yu tossed her head several times while propping her body with her hands on the basin for a while. At that point, she was barely able to keep herself together. Then, she repeatedly splashed her face with the running cold water until she finally came to her senses. After that, she slowly pondered and analyzed every word she heard from those ladies, only to find the words absurd.
Since Qin Jinhuan was so concerned about Yin Anran, he would take on the responsibility if she was really pregnant with his child, let alone the question of whether he was in love with her.
On the other hand, Yin Anran would take advantage of Qin Jinhuan’s soft spot for her if she was really conceived with his child. In that case, she would have exploited her unborn child to climb her way up to the top and stir up trouble between Qin Jinhuan and Mu Yu.
In a nutshell, she didn’t believe Yin Anran was pregnant with Qin Jinhuan’s child, but as the saying goes, there was no smoke without fire. Therefore, she thought there must be a reason behind such a rumor.
Maybe it was because Yin Anran slept around, after which she ended up getting pregnant and blamed Qin Jinhuan for it.
If that was the case, she must clear the air for Qin Jinhuan.
Upon thinking about that, she felt a lot more relieved, following which she took a deep breath and wiped off the droplets on her face. After that, she exited the washroom and headed straight to Qin Jinhuan’s office.
When she arrived at his office door, she took a few seconds to organize what she would say before she pushed the door open.
Qin Jinhuan was seen talking on the phone, but as he heard some movements, he immediately looked toward the sound source. When he realized it was Mu Yu, he quickly hung up the call by saying, “That’s all. We’ll talk again soon.” After that, he stood up and smiled to greet her.
However, Mu Yu noticed the strained smile on his face, at which she frowned. Then, she walked closer to him and extended her arm.
“What’s wrong?” Qin Jinhuan appeared suspicious.
“Give me your phone.”
“You want to call someone?”
“I want to see whom you called recently.”
As Qin Jinhuan was about to give her his phone, he suddenly caught on to what she meant and held onto his phone tightly in his palm, knowing she would ask about the content of his tele-conversation. Therefore, he directly explained, “It was Anran who called me asking about her new home.”
“Is it meant to be a bridal suite?!” She sounded shocked.
“What makes you think that way? And how could it be a bridal suite?! It’s her new home, and her keys are with me. So, she called me to ask for the keys.”
“Did you buy her that house?”
“Yup.”
“Why would you buy her a house for no good reason?”
“Actually, I bought it a long time ago, but she just hasn’t moved in.” Qin Jinhuan was afraid she would misunderstand, so he continued explaining, “You saw how decrepit and shabby her place was yesterday, and you should know that it’s not safe for a girl like her to live there by herself. Therefore, when she returned to An City, I searched everywhere and got her this apartment, which I consider as a fulfillment of my responsibility to her and a consolation to her late sister.”
“Then, why didn’t she move into her new home when she first came back to An City?”
“She said that the place was full of sweet memories between her and her sister that she couldn’t bear to leave behind. It wasn’t until the recent serious water leakage in her place that she had no choice but to move into her new home.”
“So, it isn’t because she is pregnant with your child, is it?”
“Pregnant with my child? Who is… Wait a minute, are you saying An Ran is pregnant?!”
His shocked look got her wondering deep down. “Someone said she is pregnant with your child.”
Upon hearing that, Qin Jinhuan laughed it off. “I’d believe if you said you were pregnant with my child.”
“I’m not kidding with you. I’m serious! What’s going on between you and Yin Anran?”
“There is nothing else between us!” He solemnly interrupted. “I already told you everything last night. I don’t want to keep explaining the same thing over and over again.”
“Whose child is Yin Anran pregnant with?”
“Who told you she is pregnant?”
“Who told me? Everyone else in the company knows what happened! Someone saw her experiencing morning sickness, and she has been absent ever since. Therefore, everybody has been saying she is taking a rest at home for her baby.”
“What do you mean?! The reason she’s been absent is because she was hospitalized due to diarrhea—I thought you knew it, didn’t you? I took her to the hospital for a checkup and picked her up when she was discharged. So, if she was really pregnant, the doctor would have surely told me about that.”
“But it was just diarrhea. Was it necessary for her to be hospitalized for a few days?” She still appeared bewildered.
Despite her disbelief, Qin Jinhuan wasn’t upset about it. Instead, he took a look at his watch and put on his coat before he held her hand and took her outside.
“Since you don’t trust me, I guess I’ll take you to her so that you could ask her in person.”
Mu Yu rolled her eyes at him. “If you two were really hiding something, I won’t find out anything even if I asked her.”
Qin Jinhuan pondered, after which he reached out for his phone and called Rong Ying to tell her to head to Old Street.
“Why did you tell Ying to head over to Old Street?” Mu Yu sounded confused.
“Ying is good at pulse diagnosis. Therefore, with just a touch on An Ran’s wrist, she will know whether she is really pregnant.”
“Hey! Are you out of your mind?” She immediately stood in his way. “Why did you drag Ying into this? Don’t you think this is embarrassing?”
Qin Jinhuan helplessly replied, “You didn’t believe in me when I said An Ran isn’t pregnant. If I showed you her medical report, you’d think I must have faked it. So, I was left with the only choice that is to seek help from Ying—your most trusted confidant—to prove my innocence.”
“Alright, I believe in you. So, call Ying right now and tell her not to go to Old Street because I can’t stand the embarrassment.” She didn’t want Rong Ying to know how much she cared for Qin Jinhuan, and neither did she want Rong Ying to think that she was petty.
In fact, her doubts dissipated when she saw how calm Qin Jinhuan reacted to her questions.
“No way! I’m getting Ying to give you an answer. Otherwise, I don’t know when you’re going to get paranoid again. So, let’s move.”
“Hey! I said I believe in you!” She seized his hand once again. However, as she saw him insist, she had no choice but to give in. “Okay, I’m sorry for doubting you, alright? I won’t get paranoid again, but you need to behave yourself and keep your distance from other women!”
At this point, Mu Yu realized that the incident of Yin Anran’s pregnancy was either the latter’s trick to turn them on each other or just some unconfirmed rumors circulating among her colleagues. Therefore, she did not need to take it so seriously.
“Great.” Feeling satisfied, Qin Jinhuan swiftly pressed his lips against hers to kiss her.
“Hey, what’re you doing?!” She seemed frightened.
“You just called me ‘hey’ again.” He acted as if he was going to kiss her again.
She covered her mouth and took a few steps back, seemingly afraid of his further advances.
He laughed and hugged her while whispering in her ears, “To be honest, I only want you to be pregnant with my child, not anyone else.”
Mu Yu couldn’t help but turn red in her cheeks after hearing his caress and flirtatious words. However, she wasn’t used to it, so she tried to push him away. Yet Qin Jinhuan hugged her even tighter with a smile on his face when he gazed at her.
At this time, a few female employees passed by them and noticed the lovers, whereupon they watched both of them with envy.
Upon seeing their reaction, something seemed to dawn on Mu Yu, as she began to feel warm in her heart.
After getting into the car, Qin Jinhuan instructed Bian Zijun to drive to Old Street, to which Mu Yu immediately reacted by telling the latter to drive home instead. Then, she suddenly thought about Rong Ying, whom she signaled Qin Jinhuan to call not to go to Old Street.
“To Old Street.” Qin Jinhuan ordered before he hugged Mu Yu with a smile and explained, “I know a Chinese restaurant along Old Street with some delicious juicy mutton, which is perfect to have for this season. I’ve already had Wen Zeyu reserve a table and invited Rong Jian as well. And since Ying is in the loop, we might as well invite her along.”
“You fooled me when you said we were going to see Yin Anran at Old Street?!” Mu Yu said in hindsight.
“Not really, because if you want to see her, I can still take you there.”
“No, I don’t want to see her anyway.”
“Alright then, let’s enjoy our delicious mutton and forget about her.” At this time, he suddenly whispered in her ear, “Mutton is good for male vigor.”
She immediately pushed his face away and taunted him in a coquettish manner, “Oh, I see. So, it seems like our President Qin lacks in his stamina.”
He smiled and playfully teased, “I don’t know because I haven’t tested it in a while. So, why don’t we find out about that tonight? Ouch! Are you pinching me again?”
“It’s your punishment.” She complacently stuck out her fingers to him. “You’re not the only one who knows how to punish because I know how to do it too. Hmph!”
She then looked away to hide her bashful face from Qin Jinhuan.
Mu Yu loved the way they both got along in this relaxing manner, in which she hoped for the two of them to keep this up. Therefore, she decided to trust him about the incident regarding Yin Anran’s alleged pregnancy.
In fact, she was willing to trust him, his love, and his kindness to her, but she still needed more time to put her faith in him entirely. After all, he had previously let her down. Nevertheless, she would convince herself to side with him.
As Mu Yu was thinking about Qin Jinhuan, her eyes uncontrollably gazed at him, whom she found was also meeting her gaze with a smile. She blushed and avoided his gaze but still seized his arm and leaned her head over his shoulder.
He quickly held her hand and rested his head on hers while rubbing against her hair with the side of his face.
At this moment, the two of them didn’t say a single word but merely enjoyed the soothing music silently.
Not knowing how long had passed, the car suddenly came to a stop, which Mu Yu thought they had arrived at their destination. Therefore, she immediately sat straight to get ready to get out of the car.
“Boss, the road up ahead is blocked by the night market stalls. So, I’ll get out there and tell them to make way.”
“It’s alright.” Qin Jinhuan called out to Bian Zijun, who was about to step out of the car. “We’ll get there on foot while you find a place to park the car.”
Upon saying that, he stepped out of the car and moved around to Mu Yu’s side before he opened the door for her.
“The Chinese restaurant is that way.”
Mu Yu looked in the direction Qin Jinhuan pointed and teased, “The Old Street is a place for commoners like Wenwen and me. Therefore, I can’t believe the great Young Master Qin condescends to come here.”
He lightly pulled her hair and said, “Well, bread is the staff of life. So, isn’t that normal?”
“But you’re different from anyone else. You are…” Mu Yu paused when she saw a familiar figure that came into sight—Wang Linhua.
It’s already seven something in the evening now. Doesn’t this water delivery company ever rest?
She couldn’t help but find it odd, recalling that she also saw Wang Linhua here riding a trishaw to deliver water last night. She then remembered Chief Rong told her that Wang Linhua lived in the workers’ quarter of his water delivery company.
“What’s wrong?” Qin Jinhuan curiously looked at where her gaze fell upon.
They then saw Wang Linhua parking his trishaw before he carefully scanned his surroundings and entered an alley. Mu Yu sensed something unusual seeing that. So, she told Qin Jinhuan to wait for her, whereupon she quickly picked up her pace and followed the man into the alley.
