Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 1165 - 1143: She Actually Bought a Pregnancy Test!
But it’s not surprising, Brother Yixiao is the son of the Ning family, naturally, Ji Wenxuan wants to curry favor with him and establish a good relationship.
Qiao Yongyong immediately asked, "Are you going?"
Actually, even without asking, she had guessed the answer. The invitation was casually thrown in the car by Brother Yixiao, it must have been tossed aside as soon as it was received.
Sure enough, he replied indifferently, "Not going."
Actually, besides sending an invitation, Ji Wenxuan called him several times, hoping he would attend.
But he has no interest in such occasions, nor is he fond of mingling with people from the glamorous world of the entertainment industry.
She gave a soft "oh," her eyes rolling, and said in a coy voice, "Honey, if you’re not going, can you give me the invitation?"
With the invitation, it would be much more convenient to interview at Abo Resort!
He turned his face sideways, frowned slightly, "What do you want it for?"
She clung to his arm, acting coquettishly, "Honey, it’s just an invitation, please give it to me."
"Squeak"—
Nie Yixiao almost lost control of the steering wheel, luckily he stepped on the brake in time, and after stabilizing the car, he looked at her coldly.
She stuck out her tongue, realized her mistake, and quickly withdrew her arm.
"What do you want the invitation for?" he asked a second time, his tone carrying a hint more severity.
Only then did she mention her plan to sneak into Qinglong Resort in a few days for an undercover investigation.
He listened, staying silent for a long time, his face darkening significantly, and finally spoke, "So you’re saying you’re currently working on tracking and clandestine photography?"
After saying that, he took out his phone.
She hurriedly stopped him, "What are you doing?"
"Calling Chief Editor Xiao," his voice was chillingly cold.
He wanted to see how Chief Editor Xiao, whom he engaged, was handling things. Out of all the posts, assigning her to such a task is unusual.
Qiao Yongyong snatched his phone, "Chief Editor Xiao is very good, he even personally introduced me to colleagues in the department."
She didn’t want to choose her work on the first day of her internship and be disliked by her superiors in the magazine company.
She needed to prove to Brother Yixiao that she wasn’t pampered and could do what others could do, and even better.
"Is it good to assign you to a man’s job?" he sneered lightly, retrieving his phone.
Finally, she said, "Actually, it was Gan Ying who assigned the work. I was assigned to the entertainment section, and she is the deputy editor there."
He paused. Gan Ying was also in the ’Time Weekly’, of course, he knew.
At the time, he also considered whether or not to let this girl get in.
However, ’Time Weekly’ was the largest and most prestigious in the city’s magazine industry, and it would be a pity to not let her in just because Gan Ying was there, so he still fought to get her the opportunity to intern, unexpectedly she ended up in Gan Ying’s department and under her supervision.
His eyes glimmered, "I’ll give her a call."
Qiao Yongyong hurriedly grabbed the phone for the second time, "There’s no need, really! I don’t want her to look down on me, and I don’t want her to think I’m using you for backdoor access."
Her clear eyes were filled with determination. He could see her resolve and finally said nothing else, slipping the invitation between her fingers, indifferently, "Since you’re going in under my name, don’t bring disgrace to it."
Then he turned the steering wheel and continued driving.
Her long eyelashes fluttered as she scooted closer, grinning, "I would never disgrace my husband~"
He was still unused to her calling him husband so sweetly, his eyes dimmed for a moment, but for the first time, he didn’t stop her.
She suddenly remembered the incident in the school dorm that night, counting the days, it had already been a week. She could probably check now. Her heart was pounding with excitement, her face blushing, and she happened to see a pharmacy, hurriedly calling out, "Husband, stop here for a minute, I’m going to buy something."
He raised his brows in concern but stopped by the roadside. Seeing she intended to go to the pharmacy, his brows furrowed even tighter, shooting her a glance.
"Maybe the air is bad, my throat feels a bit uncomfortable, going to buy some throat lozenges." She touched her throat, afraid he wouldn’t believe her, coughing twice, opened the car door, and walked toward the pharmacy.
Inside the pharmacy, Qiao Yongyong bought several boxes of throat lozenges and discreetly picked up a pregnancy test, paid, and then placed the test separately in her inner pocket before leaving the pharmacy.
Nie glanced at the throat lozenges in Qiao Yongyong’s plastic bag, "If your throat is uncomfortable, let Aunt Xia boil some Fritillaria and Siraitia Water for you when we get home, these meds are useless."
She nodded.
The car restarted, and she felt a bit of excitement inside, blurting out, "Husband, do you prefer a boy or a girl?"
"Squeak"—his just-started car almost swerved off the road, he braked and stared at her.
She realized she’d gotten too excited, quickly putting on a cheeky grin, "I just saw a pregnant woman in the pharmacy, so I got a bit sentimental, just asking."
He cast a cautious glance at her belly, "Did you take the pill that night?"
She quickly swore, "Of course, I did."
He felt this girl was acting strangely overall but couldn’t pinpoint what was odd, sternly asking, "Did you really just buy throat lozenges at the pharmacy?"
"What else? Do you want to do a body search?" She brazenly teased, scooting over, her eyes alluring, deliberately tugging down her collar halfway to reveal her fair neckline.
He furrowed his brows, this shameless little seductress, even trying to tempt him in the car, so he didn’t ask further questions and hit the gas, driving away in a flash.
****
Back at the Ning family home, seeing him go downstairs, Qiao Yongyong sneaked into the bathroom, tore open the pregnancy test, and followed the instructions.
Gripped with nervousness, she waited slowly until the stick finally displayed the result.
One line.
Not pregnant.
A heart sank into a valley, filled with unspeakable disappointment.
That night she and he clearly... did it many times.
Each time Brother Yixiao’s little tadpoles were inside her...
Afterwards, she hadn’t taken any pills, how could she not be pregnant?
However, the pregnancy test doesn’t lie, not pregnant simply means not pregnant.
Perhaps it was a safe period, or this time, she wasn’t fated to have a baby.
Although thinking this, she still felt a slight tinge of loss, throwing away the pregnancy test, opening the bathroom door, and just as she looked up, she froze.
Nie Yixiao was standing right in front of her, holding a small receipt, eyes coldly watching her.
She was startled; that receipt was from the pharmacy’s purchases, including the pregnancy test—a careless oversight, focused on hiding the test but forgot to throw away the receipt.
"Can you explain to me," his tone was as cold as ice.
On the road, he sensed something was off with her, and once home, seeing her dash into the bathroom, he checked the bag, found the pregnancy test on the receipt.
Pregnancy test!
She had actually bought a pregnancy test!
Qiao Yongyong pinched the corner of her garment, like a child caught doing wrong, plus the negative test result already had her in a low mood, so she simply didn’t speak.
"So you didn’t take contraceptive pills that night, did you," seeing her silent response, his tone grew even more severe.
