Chapter 440 What If I Am Pregnant

Apart from that, she had also been sick with a high fever in the past few days. It was unlikely that they could keep the baby.

The thought of losing yet another child caused her heart to seize in pain.

She would accept her fate, but it didn’t really make much sense. After all, she had been in the hospital for about a week but the doctor hadn’t told her she was pregnant. She was only with Gu Mingchen for a few days after she left the hospital, so she couldn’t have gotten pregnant that early on.

She planned to go for a check-up at the hospital once she could leave this place.

Bai Rong had breakfast at Shen Yiyan’s place.

He would glance over at her once in awhile with an unreadable look in his eyes. It seemed like he wanted to say something, but stopped himself and just focused on eating.

Bai Rong wasn’t looking directly at him but she could still sense his every action.

Since he wasn’t saying anything, she decided not to ask. After all, their relationship was quite strange.

She was a friend of the woman he loved; he saved her life, and they had both hurt the woman they cared about. Despite that, she was also working with him for personal reasons.

After they finished breakfast, Bai Rong looked at Shen Yiyan. “If Su Xuyan asks about me again, I’ll tell him that I’m with you now. Please don’t blow my cover.”

“Are you already trying to mess up my relationship with Sheng Dongcheng?” Shen Yiyan asked as he leaned against the chair lazily.

“Don’t you want to give Sheng Dongcheng a warning at least? Besides, you can just say no if he asks. Su Xuyan isn’t stupid. He’s the middleman between you two, after all, so he knows what he should and shouldn’t talk about. Also, Su Xuyan has many more issues with Gu Mingchen than he has with you. Instead of worrying about the issue with trust, you should start worrying about how this might affect you. Someone as smart as Su Xuyan isn’t going to do something that he won’t benefit from,” Bai Rong said.

“I’m starting to doubt keeping you a member of the cabinet. With your smarts and skills, it’d be a waste not to make you a diplomat.”

Bai Rong suddenly thought about what the guru had said. He said that she was a witty, diplomatic person who would gain great things through the power of her words but would also be tangled up in bloodshed.

That’s all pretty accurate.

The guru had also said that she was meant to be involved in bloodshed, but if she didn’t deal with it properly, she would end up losing herself.

It seemed as if different people may have different understandings and interpretations of fortune telling.

Bai Rong smiled. “I could always be a diplomat in the cabinet. After all, it might seem even more plausible to have a diplomat working in the cabinet, no?”

Shen Yiyan smiled as he tapped the table. “I could actually make that happen.”

“Call me once you are done with that. I should get going,” Bai Rong got up and started to leave. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

Shen Yiyan stood up as well and frowned slightly. “Do you really have no idea where Liu Yan is staying right now?”

Bai Rong stopped in her tracks and looked at the large tree bathed in sunlight outside the window. The light spilled through the gaps in the leaves and created little dancing spots of sunlight on the floor beneath them.

It is truly hard to decipher the world, Bai Rong marveled inwardly.

“If you two are fated, then no one will be able to keep you apart for long. If it isn’t meant to be, then you can’t change your fate even if you insisted on it,” Bai Rong said meaningfully.

Shen Yiyan looked at Bai Rong’s retreating figure in deep thought.

If he looked for Liu Yan now, it would most likely end up killing her. Just two years, he told himself. Two more years.

Bai Rong walked out of Shen Yiyan’s house.

His house was quite secluded. There were trees everywhere and it was barely populated, so the air was full of the fresh scent of soil and leaves rather than pollution. Bai Rong took a deep breath, feeling relaxed immediately.

She hadn’t forgotten about what she had to check at the hospital, but she was worried that there might be Shadow Samurais following her.

She looked around instinctively and didn’t notice anyone suspicious.

Before she could walk out of the gates, a car pulled up in front of her.

The driver got off and opened the car door for her. “Mr. Shen told me to send you off.”

“Thank you,” Bai Rong said as she got into the car. “Please send me to the hospital.”

Through her check-up, she discovered that she had high levels of HCG but regular levels of progesterone which meant she was not pregnant.

The doctor told her that her numbers might have been messed up by all the steroids she had taken these last two years.

Next, Bai Rong took a taxi to A City’s International Hotel and booked a room.

As she lay on the bed staring at the ceiling, she thought about the things she had to get from Gu Mingchen’s place. Apart from her luggage, she had to pick up Qing too. But she was so busy, she might not have time to take care of Qing after that. What should I do?

Someone started knocking on her door.

She got up and looked out of the peephole only to see Su Xuyan.

She had already expected him to come knocking, literally.

Bai Rong opened the door and Su Xuyan walked into her room.

She closed the door behind her calmly.

“Tell me everything you know.” Su Xuyan didn’t beat around the bush.

“Do you want some wine?” Bai Rong walked over to the wine cabinet and opened a bottle.

Su Xuyan frowned slightly but took the bottle and started pouring some wine into two wine glasses nonetheless. “I want to know everything you know about Bai Rong. She’s still alive, isn’t she? All of my experiments failed so how did she make it out alive?”

Bai Rong sipped from the wine glass that Su Xuyan handed to her and replied, “Shen Yiyan saved Bai Rong. He kidnapped the scientists inside your lab and also recruited professionals from overseas so he managed to save her. Both Bai Rong and Liu Yan have fled now.”

“What about you? What do you have to do with all this?” Su Xuyan asked with narrowed eyes.

Bai Rong smiled. “I’m with Shen Yiyan. Why do you think he asked for me?”

“That’s impossible. You were the one who revealed everything and that only served to benefit Gu Mingchen. It didn’t benefit anybody else,” Su Xuyan said disbelievingly. His gaze sharpened and became slightly murderous once he sensed that Bai Rong was lying to him.

Bai Rong sipped some wine again and swallowed it slowly. She leaned against the bar and swirled her glass leisurely. “Why is that impossible? What did Sheng Dongcheng do after Shen Yiyan and Liu Yan’s news were revealed? You plotted against Gu Mingchen behind Shen Yiyan’s back and told Leng Xiao where Xia He was headed to so he could get rid of Gu Mingchen. Why did he get rid of Gu Mingchen without Shen Yiyan’s permission? He obviously wants to become commander-in-chief as well. What I did will suppress Sheng Dongcheng’s efforts and even get Gu Mingchen’s help. What’s wrong with that? It won’t affect Shen Yiyan and Sheng Dongcheng’s relationship either.”

“You’re wrong. Sheng Dongcheng wasn’t the one who plotted against Gu Mingchen, it was Su Zheng,” Su Xuyan said in a low voice.

Bai Rong looked at Su Xuyan as something akin to surprise flashed across her gaze.

There really isn’t such a thing as eternal friends or enemies, huh? She thought. The Su family and Gu family were on such good terms back then, but now Su Zheng is willing to put Gu Mingchen in harm’s way in order to get where he wants.
