When Love Turns the Tables: The Mysterious Husband's Chase-Chapter 622: Every Bitch Meets Her Match (Part 2)
Zhou Chengze didn’t tell Sheng Jianan about Mr. Sheng’s visit, and when Sheng Jianan saw the extra fruits in the ward, he didn’t ask either. They both tacitly understood each other.
In the evening, as Sheng Jianan was accompanying Tang Yanqi for a meal, his phone suddenly rang. Whatever was said on the other end made Tang Yanqi notice his brows gradually knit tighter and tighter.
After several minutes, Sheng Jianan finally hung up the phone and turned to look at Tang Yanqi with a hint of apology in his eyes.
"What’s wrong?"
"There’s a problem with the company, I might need to go on a business trip."
Tang Yanqi breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing Sheng Jianan’s serious expression, she had thought it was something major.
"You should go, I’ll be fine."
Just as Sheng Jianan was about to say something, his phone rang again, and this time his frown deepened even more.
After hanging up the phone again, Sheng Jianan said to Tang Yanqi, "I definitely have to go."
Tang Yanqi nodded, "Okay, go as soon as you can and come back as soon as you can." 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
It wasn’t that she was being generous, she just felt that Sheng Jianan didn’t really need to revolve around her all the time. She was the one giving birth, it was the doctors who would assist her in delivery. Truthfully, besides providing her with psychological support and comfort, Sheng Jianan really wasn’t much use.
"I’ll leave early tomorrow morning and will be back at the earliest the day after tomorrow, the latest won’t be any later than three days from now."
"Okay."
Early the next morning, when Tang Yanqi woke up, there was no sign of Sheng Jianan on the folding bed. On her bedside table, there was a bowl of peeled, diced apples, slightly oxidized at the surface, and a note.
Tang Yanqi smiled as she read the note, then slowly got up to freshen up.
Bai Bing and Qi Cheng came over to bring her breakfast and also shared some good news—Bai Xue was pregnant too.
The day that Sheng Jianan left, in the morning, Bai Bing and Qi Cheng came. In the afternoon, Zhou Chengze, Gu Han, and Sheng Jiayu, who hadn’t been heard from in a while, also came.
Her life didn’t seem to be boring just because Sheng Jianan wasn’t around.
Zhou Chengze and Gu Han didn’t stay long; instead, it was Sheng Jiayu who stayed to accompany her.
Sheng Jiayu was still dressed in her office attire, but she was thinner than before, her complexion sallow, unable to hide her fatigue.
"Isn’t the due date in a few days?"
"Yes, it’s soon."
"Are you nervous?"
"I’m alright. I was quite nervous before, but now I don’t feel it. I just want to unload, it’s too heavy."
Tang Yanqi joked, and Sheng Jiayu smiled. They talked about other things.
That night, Sheng Jiayu stayed in the ward with her instead of Sheng Jianan.
Sheng Jiayu lay on the folding bed, which seemed more suitable, and neither of them was sleepy. As they chatted, somehow the conversation drifted back to Sheng Jiayu’s ex-husband.
The atmosphere grew a bit somber, and in the end, Tang Yanqi forgot how she fell asleep.
After all, she was pregnant, and she needed more sleep than usual. When she opened her eyes, the folding bed was clean and empty.
Tang Yanqi was just about to get out of bed when she saw Sheng Jiayu coming in from outside, carrying a thermos bottle. "Let’s eat something first, the doctor said you need to get a scan today."
Prenatal examinations were indispensable, and even though Sheng Jianan wasn’t around, no one at the hospital dared to slack off.
After breakfast and a short rest, Sheng Jiayu accompanied her to the ultrasound room.
Tang Yanqi was already quite familiar with these procedures, but with her big belly and slender frame, her movements were slow.
The sunlight outside was lovely today, and after standing in the corridor for a bit, an impulsive Tang Yanqi decided she wanted to take a walk downstairs.
