Chapter 19: The Few Tender Feelings

Xie Licheng asked, but did not just wait for her answer. Instead, he took two steps forward, grabbed her wrist directly, and forcibly took the thing in her hand.

Liang Qingyu's eyes panicked, but she pretended to be calm when she remembered that she had already changed her medicine. She said , " I was just reading the instructions for the medicine. Didn't you ask me to go to the hospital? The doctor examined me and said that I just had indigestion. Here, this is the medical record."

She handed over the medical record on the table, hoping that the man would not focus too much on the medicine.

Xie Licheng looked away from the box of aluminum magnesium carbonate tablets, took the medical records in her hand, and after reading through them, gave both items to her.

"Don't eat those messy things again."

Liang Qingyu reached out to catch it and replied in a muffled voice, "I know."

After putting the medicine and medical records into the bag, Liang Qingyu's heart finally settled.

She looked back at the man who was still standing next to her and asked , " Why are you back so early today?"

In the past, we would leave early and come home late, and sometimes we even often slept out.

Thinking of this, Liang Qingyu's expression froze.

In the past, when she asked Secretary Liu, the reply she got was always about work or business trips.

But is this really the case?

She thought of Shen Ruqiu.

Is it possible that during those days and nights when he was not home, he was spending time with other people?

Thinking of this, she suddenly felt a little sick.

"Don't think too much. I just finished my work ahead of time and came back to rest."

Xie Licheng's voice was cold, but his eyes couldn't help but stay on the woman, wanting to see her reaction.

As a result, I was faced with a face that was too pale.

His brows tightened, "What's wrong with you?"

Liang Qingyu looked at him. She didn't hear clearly what he just said.

"say something."

Xie Licheng raised his hand and wanted to touch her face.

Liang Qingyu’s face turned even paler and he took several steps back.

This evasive look caught Xie Licheng's eyes and instantly froze the few remaining warmth on his face.

" you- "

Before he could finish, Liang Qingyu rushed into the bathroom and began to retch violently.

Xie Licheng stood in the room, hearing the woman's painful voice in his ears. He didn't know how to react for a moment, and his face was blank.

After a while, he looked at the medicine on the coffee table.

It's probably because of gastrointestinal discomfort.

That's why I hide.

It must be like this.

Xie Licheng gave the answer, but he was unsure in his heart, and even felt a sense of sadness.

He slowly clenched his fists and lowered his eyes, with complicated thoughts.

Until the sound inside stopped, after the sound of splashing water, people walked out.

The first thing he did was to look over and meet a pair of eyes that were still watery. The eye circles, nose and cheeks were all red, as if the person had been crying in hiding, looking a little pitiful.

Those negative emotions were suppressed at this moment. Xie Licheng walked towards her and stopped in front of her.

"Are you ok?"

Too gentle, not at all like something Xie Licheng would say.

Liang Qingyu looked at the person in front of her through the light of the water. For a moment, she thought she was dreaming.

Her heart felt sour and bitter.

Why couldn't such tenderness come earlier?

"You're still not feeling well. I'll take you to the hospital."

"No need." Liang Qingyu shook her head, took a deep breath, and forced a smile. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it just now. I won't eat anything random in the future. I'll go take my medicine first."

After saying that, she walked around him, went to the coffee table, swallowed the medicine and drank water in one go.

Xie Licheng kept looking at him, his brows slightly furrowed, without saying anything, just looking at him.

In the past few days, Liang Qingyu seemed to have many more sides in his eyes, all of which he had never seen before.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Sir, madam, dinner is ready."

"knew."

The two went downstairs to eat together.

The servants brought the dishes to the table, and a bowl of fish soup was placed in front of Liang Qingyu.

"Ma'am, you are not feeling well. Drinking some fish soup will help you recover."

Liang Qingyu nodded, took the spoon, scooped a spoonful and put it to her mouth, but before she put it in, she was put off by the pungent fishy smell.

"Why does this fish smell so fishy?"

She put down her spoon and pushed the soup away.

But even so, she still felt it was fishy.

"No, it doesn't smell fishy." The servant was a little confused and sniffed it. "Madam, these fish are seasoned to remove the fishy smell. There will be no smell."

“But I just smell it.”

Liang Qingyu frowned. Compared to what others said, she trusted her own senses more.

But is she the only one who feels this way?

She couldn't help but glance at the man opposite her, who calmly took the bowl and scooped a spoonful to drink.

“Not fishy.”

"Look, the gentleman said it's not fishy anymore, how about you try it again?"

Could it be that she really smelled it wrong?

Liang Qingyu was a little skeptical and took the bowl again, but this time, before she even got close, she couldn't stand it anymore.

"It still smells fishy. I don't want to drink it. You can take it away."

The servant brought the fish soup and suddenly seemed to think of something. She couldn't help but ask, "Madam, are you pregnant?"

Liang Qingyu's body froze. She almost forgot about what had happened. At this moment, the man opposite her also looked over. There was no emotion on his face. His eyes just slowly glanced at her belly.

"Don't talk nonsense. How could I be pregnant? Have you forgotten that I went to the hospital today? The doctor said that I had gastrointestinal problems and prescribed me some medicine. If I were pregnant, would she not be able to tell?" Liang Qingyu paused. "Maybe it's because I have a bad gastrointestinal tract, so I feel fishy."

"Yes, I'll change the soup for you."

"Um."

After Liang Qingyu finished speaking, she saw Xie Licheng retract his gaze and felt relieved.

However, a little curiosity crept up in her heart.

"Xie Licheng, do you want me to get pregnant?"

Xie Licheng was stunned for a moment. He had never thought about this question before.

If Liang Qingyu got pregnant with his child ... it would seem pretty good.

Then maybe she wouldn't ask for a divorce from him.

But why did you suddenly ask him this?

Or maybe this was also what made her uneasy.

Thinking of this, he lowered the corners of his lips and said in a deep voice , " Don't let your imagination run wild. Having a child or not has no impact on your identity."

Liang Qingyu had expected such overly cold words, but they still made her feel disappointed.

Yes, if he really wanted to have a child with her, he wouldn't have waited until now.

Liang Qingyu lowered her eyes and gently touched her belly.

Baby, it doesn’t matter if others don’t welcome you, I love you and I will protect you.

She swore secretly in her heart, and at the same time became more determined not to let Xie Licheng know that she was pregnant.

She would not allow anyone to hurt her child.

"However, if you are worried, I can arrange for a doctor to come and give you a full body check-up."

Xie Licheng looked at the woman who suddenly stopped talking, thinking that she was unhappy.

He knew that she had gone to the emergency room today and that the doctor was not professional, so there was a possibility that the diagnosis might be missed.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this possibility was very high.

"I'll have someone arrange it."
