From Rejected Fake Heiress to Desired True Love-Chapter 783: Bringing the Hospital Home

Not only was Li Yehan stunned, even Nan Shan was shocked.

It seemed like Nan Qiao had figured something out, which is why she spoke that way.

Nan Shan looked at Li Yehan’s back, then thought of Nan Qiao’s tone, and decided to play dumb.

As long as Nan Qiao didn’t come questioning him, he was still the obedient disciple of his master.

"Qiaoqiao, you misunderstood. I’m here to see Nan Shan because I’m concerned about his health."

Li Yehan turned around: "Nan Shan, am I right?"

Nan Shan: "..."

Aiming to remain perfectly invisible, he could no longer avoid the situation and had to answer.

"Master, everything he said is true. Look, I’m still holding some tonics."

Nan Shan lifted them up for Nan Qiao to see, so she could see clearly.

By coincidence, the kidney tonic caught Nan Qiao’s attention.

Realizing his action seemed problematic, Nan Shan hurriedly put the bag down.

Nan Qiao walked past Li Yehan towards Nan Shan.

She grabbed his arm, pressing her fingertip on his pulse.

Nan Shan wanted to resist, but he held back the thought.

He couldn’t refuse; he couldn’t let Nan Qiao discover anything wrong.

As Nan Qiao felt his pulse, she noted that Nan Shan was somewhat weak and had lost a lot of blood.

Besides that, his pulse was particularly chaotic, more so than before.

Nan Qiao recalled her own pulse when she checked herself; their symptoms seemed quite similar.

"You do need some proper tonics; health is important," Nan Qiao said softly and gently.

"Master, you don’t have to worry. I’m doing quite well, no problems at all, and I don’t need any tonics."

Mentioning the tonics made Nan Shan want to throw all of them at Li Yehan.

He must have done it on purpose!

What man wants others to think he’s lacking?

"Qiaoqiao, since Nan Shan is fine, let’s leave and not disturb his rest."

Nan Qiao nodded, gave Nan Shan a few reminders, and got into Li Yehan’s car.

Sitting in the car, Nan Qiao turned away, neither looking at Li Yehan nor responding to him.

"Qiaoqiao, are you still angry? Do you blame me for not informing you before coming to Nanshan’s house?"

"..."

Li Yehan continued to ask: "Qiaoqiao, I was just delivering some tonics to him, nothing else."

"..."

Nan Qiao still didn’t respond.

Li Yehan was clueless, uncertain about how much Nan Qiao knew, and felt he couldn’t directly ask.

Li Yehan moved closer to Nan Qiao, reducing the distance between them.

"Qiaoqiao, do you not want me visiting Nan Shan?"

Nan Qiao: "..."

Nan Qiao stared at Li Yehan, her eyes dark as ink, and said earnestly, "Li Yehan, you’re hiding something from me."

"Qiaoqiao, what could I be hiding from you? I was visiting Nan Shan for your sake. Your disciple is also my disciple."

Nan Qiao was amused. If Nan Shan knew, he definitely wouldn’t agree with Li Yehan’s statement.

Nan Qiao didn’t expect Li Yehan to be so mentally strong, and she didn’t uncover the secret here.

Indeed, Li Yehan was exceptionally good at keeping secrets.

Maybe there’s really nothing at all, and she was overthinking?

"Nan Shan is not your disciple. If you say that, he wouldn’t acknowledge it."

"I was just joking, Qiaoqiao. You’re too serious. Relax, take it easy."

Nan Qiao: "..."

Nan Qiao leaned back against the seat, her thoughts drifting away.

Li Yehan was taking a shower. Just as he came out, he saw Nan Qiao standing at the door with clothes in her hands, startling him.

"I’m a bit tired. I want to take a shower and sleep early."

Li Yehan: "I’ll help you shower."

"No need, I can do it myself. If you help me, I’m afraid you’ll end up showering with me again."

Nan Qiao shyly pushed Li Yehan aside and went into the bathroom herself.

Nan Qiao entered and closed the door.

Li Yehan stood outside, wanting to enter, but found Nan Qiao had locked the door from the inside.

"Qiaoqiao?"

No matter how Li Yehan knocked, Nan Qiao didn’t open the door.

Without any response, Li Yehan was startled, fearing Nan Qiao might have fainted inside and wanted to break the door open.

In the next moment, he heard Nan Qiao’s voice.

"I’m showering. If you need the restroom, go next door."

Li Yehan let out a sigh of relief: "Qiaoqiao, I’m right here at the door. Call me if you need anything."

"No need, I’m just taking a shower. I’ll be out soon."

Li Yehan heard soft music and the sound of running water but nothing else.

He couldn’t relax, fearing Nan Qiao was deceiving him.

Ever since suspecting that Nan Qiao was coughing up blood, it was all Li Yehan could think about every day.

Meanwhile, inside the bathroom, Nan Qiao wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and touched her stomach.

Though she touched it softly, she was actually just gently pressing against it, not daring to apply pressure, fearing any discomfort for the baby.

With no movements from the baby, Nan Qiao took out the fetal heart monitor to listen, and everything sounded fine.

——

Nan Qiao opened the bathroom door and walked out, seeing Li Yehan still standing at the door.

He was holding a cup of flower tea. Seeing Nan Qiao come out, he handed her the tea.

"Didn’t I say you could go ahead and not wait by the door?"

"When a woman says not to wait, it doesn’t necessarily mean don’t wait. It could mean she wants me to wait."

Nan Qiao: "..."

Li Yehan really overthinks things.

Understanding women’s thoughts seemed to suit Li Yehan quite well.

Nan Qiao took a sip of the rose tea, and Li Yehan took the cup, while Nan Qiao sat down so he could blow-dry her hair.

In a series of natural, unconscious daily actions, the two seemed like an old married couple, deeply affectionate with each other.

Watching her black hair flutter, Nan Qiao felt warmth in her eyes.

The baby inside suddenly kicked her again, spreading discomfort through her body instantly.

Shortly after, the baby kicked again, and she felt even worse.

The sound of the hairdryer stopped, and Nan Qiao grabbed Li Yehan’s arm: "Quick, take me to the hospital."

Nan Qiao’s face turned pale.

Though a doctor herself, she didn’t have an ultrasound machine at home, and could only go to the hospital.

Li Yehan carried Nan Qiao out, not to the hospital, but to the examination room on the lower floor.

To Nan Qiao’s surprise, there was a doctor and an ultrasound machine there.

When did Li Yehan prepare all this?

How did she not know?

"Lie down calmly, don’t be afraid."

Li Yehan placed Nan Qiao down, and the doctor began the checkup with composure, though inside they were anxious.

The surface calm was a part of her professional conduct.

Nan Qiao didn’t expect Li Yehan to have prepared so thoroughly and was immersed in shock.

It wasn’t until the probe was placed on her belly that her thoughts were pulled back.

"Fetal heart rate is too high."

The doctor’s words caught the severe attention of both Li Yehan and Nan Qiao.

"Take me to the hospital!" Nan Qiao said without hesitation, ready to get up for the hospital.

Li Yehan supported her, comforting softly: "I’ve got the best obstetrician on standby at home 24/7, don’t worry, it’s safe here as well."
