My Wife Longs for Divorce Every Day - Chapter 367:
Chapter 367: 367, Poke through face to face
“I don’t blame you for your lack of knowledge, Miss. Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes observation, listening, questioning and pulse diagnosis. A woman’s pulse is different after pregnancy. The blood flow in a pregnant woman’s body is higher than normal, so their pulse is typically more lively, like beads rolling on a plate; this is known as “Hua Mai” (lively pulse). I can guarantee with my over thirty-year’s worth of traditional Chinese medical experience that my diagnosis will not be wrong.”
“Impossible, you’re making this up…”
“Yunyao!” Xu Jing cast an angry gaze at her daughter, “What did I tell you before? You absolutely cannot go that far before marriage! Did you just ignore my words? Also, you’ve had no appetite lately and you’ve been constantly nauseous and wanting to vomit. When I asked you about it last time, you lied to me that you’re having a stomach problem. I remember you started to have these symptoms a month ago, and even went to the hospital for a checkup- why did you hide it from me?”
Having said that, she could no longer hold back, and slapped Yunyao on her face.
Qu Yunyao’s cheek quickly reddened and swelled. She was in pain and terrified, and tears poured out from her eyes.
“I get it now!” Mo Weiyi interjected, “Last time at the hospital, she also said she wasn’t feeling well; she was nauseous, wanted to vomit and had no appetite for food. Now I understand, Yunyao, pregnancy is a good thing, why didn’t you tell us?”
Qu Yunyao gritted her teeth, looking at Mo Weiyi’s sweet and charming face. She felt that Mo Weiyi was pretending to be innocent, and it was so disgusting that she wanted to puke!
“I really am not pregnant. That must just be the nonsense of this quack doctor. The doctor told me during the last check-up that I just had a stomach problem. Mother, I really did not lie to you, I am truly not pregnant…”
“Hmph!” Doctor Pu scoffed, “My family has been practicing medicine for generations; my ancestors have even served as royal physicians for Emperor Qianlong, and we still have the golden sign bestowed by Emperor Qianlong hanging in our house. Over these years, our family’s reputation has never been tarnished. Do you think I slandered you on purpose about your pregnancy Miss?”please visit ” sitestorys(.)c0m ” maybe y0u will enj0y the captivating sh0rt st0ries.
“I usually only help Miss Mo with health maintenance and rarely come to Mo’s residence for treatment. Today is the first time I’ve seen you here, Miss. We are strangers and have no reason for animosity. Why would I slander you with false accusations of pregnancy?”
Dr. Pu, being a man of temper, was visibly angered by this and almost scolded Yunyao.
“Besides, what benefits would I gain from falsely accusing you of being pregnant? If Miss isn’t willing to admit it, we can go to the nearest hospital right now and have both traditional Chinese and Western doctors give you a checkup to prove my innocence!”
With a shame-faced look, Xu Jing hastily spoke, “I’m sorry, Dr. Pu. My daughter is naive; please don’t take offense to her words.”
Her unmarried daughter being pregnant had been revealed to everyone, and now she was even showing such ignorance publicly…
Xu Jing had never had such an experience before, she felt extremely ashamed, her entire face flaming up in embarrassment as she wished she could just find a hole to hide in.
“Our family’s reputation can’t be ruined in my hands after all these years.” Doctor Pu looked at Grandpa Mo, neither overbearing nor submissive, “Old man, I request that we go to the nearest hospital with Miss now. If Miss still doesn’t trust me, we can invite several doctors there to provide a diagnosis.”
Grandpa Mo looked gloomy, glancing at Qu Yunyao with annoyance and disgust.
“It’s not necessary, really not necessary, Dr. Pu, it’s just that my daughter is ignorant, she really doesn’t understand.” Xu Jing pulled Qu Yunyao by the arm after finishing her words, “Tell us, who is the father of the child?”
Qu Yunyao lowered her head and could only cry.
The incident happened too suddenly.
She was only nineteen after all. Although she had initially planned to frame Xiao Yebai with the unbom child, she hadn’t set her plans in motion yet, or even thought of a proper excuse when the secret of her pregnancy was prematurely discovered.
If she were to announce now that the child was Xiao Yebai’s, she would most likely be laughed at!
“Auntie.” Mo Weiyi opened her clear eyes, “The child must be Yunyao’s boyfriend’s, right? Since they’ve had a child, why not hurry up and get married? Why are you so angry?”
Xu Jing:”…”
Mo Yaoxiong also tried to soothe, “Since things have already come to this, Xu Jing, don’t be angry anymore. Although Yunyao is still young, having a child is a happy occasion after all.”
A happy occasion?
Xu Jing lowered her head, feeling humiliated. “I’m sorry, I really didn’t know Yunyao would do such a thing…”
“It’s not your fault.” Mo Yaoxiong comforted.
He had initially thought that Qu Yunyao was mature and independent for her age and that Xu Jing had raised a good daughter, but…
As he sighed to himself, he couldn’t help but feel that he had misjudged her.
Being pregnant at the age of nineteen and unmarried at that, even though it was due to her being unable to control her feelings for her boyfriend, it would still be seen as improper if word got out.
**
Suddenly finding out that her daughter was pregnant, Xu Jing no longer had the composure to let Dr. Pu continue the consultation.
She immediately took her daughter back to their room.
As the door closed, her face completely changed, “Tell me honestly, is this child really Xu Rui’s!?”
Qu Yunyao remained silent.
Xu Jing had suspicions for a while, after all, if the child is truly Xu Rui’s, why would she hide it and deny it so adamantly?
There must be another reason.
“Speak up!”
Xu Jing shouted sharply, and Qu Yunyao’s body shuddered abruptly. Finally, her face turned pale, and she said, “It’s… It’s Xu Rui’s.”
Xu Jing felt a sigh of relief deep down, “Then why did you hide it?”
Qu Yunyao could only continue bluffing, “I was afraid that you would be upset with me for being careless…”
”1 am upset with you, but now that you’re already pregnant, what’s done is done. I can’t possibly ask you to terminate the pregnancy, can I?”
Although angry, Xu Jing was still rational, “You’re already two months pregnant. Your belly will only get bigger with time. I can’t afford to lose face.”
Having said that, she directly reached out, “Give me your phone. I need to discuss the wedding arrangements with Xu Rui.”
“No, mom.” Qu Yunyao hadn’t even prepared a proper explanation with Xu Rui yet. How could she possibly let Xu Jing call him now?
A look of suspicion once again appeared on Xu Jing’s face, “What’s going on with you?”
“Mom, can I… can I discuss it with him first? Because he doesn’t know about this either, I haven’t told anyone…”
“You…” Xu Jing couldn’t hold back her anger, raising her hand to jab Qu Yunyao’s forehead, “You’re completely muddled!”
Qu Yunyao:”…”
“Make arrangements to meet Xu Rui tomorrow. I want to see him personally.”
“Okay.”

“I really didn’t expect Yunyao to be pregnant so soon, wow.”
Mo Weiyi sat in the passenger seat, squinting her stunning cat-shaped eyes, and nagged nonstop, “She must have found out during my last hospital stay when I had a fever. Why did she deny it just now? Unbelievable! Dr. Pu can’t stand being questioned about her profession, this is the first time I’ve seen her so angry in all the time I’ve known her…”
Xiao Yebai was driving the car, and he didn’t say anything.
After Mo Weiyi ranted for a while, she didn’t feel like thinking about it anymore.
Anyway, it had nothing to do with her.
She turned her head, looked at the man who was concentrating on driving, and said with a smile, “Dr. Pu gave me a prescription earlier. She said that after a few weeks of treatment, I should be able to get pregnant easily.”
“You should focus on your studies first.” Xiao Yebai answered indifferently, as usual.
“I am studying.”
“If you’re not interested in law, you can change your major.” They came to a red light, and Xiao Yebai stopped the car.
Change major?
Mo Weiyi tilted her face, her pretty little face full of bewilderment, “Change to what major?”
“Whatever you’re interested in?”
“I’m interested in you.”
Xiao Yebai:”…”
She turned her head to see Mo Weiyi propping her cheeks with her hands, innocently looking at him.
Her pretty cat eyes were smiling, forming two crescents.
Then, he looked straight ahead, “I was asking if there’s another major you are interested in. Law can indeed be tedious. Many legal provisions require rote memorization that is time consuming and which may indeed not suit you.”
After some thought, he suggested, “Things like Chinese language, drawing, design, or even…finance, anything you’re interested in?”
Mo Weiyi continued to smile, “I’m only interested in you.”
Xiao Yebai again:
He suddenly remembered a scenario from two years ago.
At that time, Mo Weiyi was only seventeen years old, just in her third year of high school, right before the university entrance exam. Given her grades at the time, there was essentially no hope.
She chased him around every day, constantly talking about getting married or…sleeping with him.
Old Mr. Mo, who would do anything for his only granddaughter.
Although he did not like this adoptive son who suddenly appeared, as long as his granddaughter liked it, he would directly order a wedding without hesitation.
Under various pressures, Xiao Yebai promised her at that time that if she could get into Nancheng University on her own capability, he would consider the matter of marriage..
