Chapter 17 Pregnant

• "What happened to you? Did you get beaten up after a failed attempt at being forceful?"
• Pan Lichen had just planned to go back to bed for a nap after undressing, but then the phone call came. It made him rush over to Xue's house in a hurry. As soon as he entered, he couldn't help but burst into laughter when he saw the bruise on Xue Silu's face, resembling a panda. Even his sleepiness disappeared completely.
• After knowing each other for so many years, this was the first time Pan Lichen had seen Xue Silu being defeated. This Jiang Weiyang was really something! She dared to lay a hand on Xue Silu's face and still managed to survive. She was truly unique.
• Xue Silu's face showed no extra expression, just impatience as he urged, "You didn't come here to ask questions, you came to see a doctor. Hurry up and take a look."
• "I already told you that she has been resting poorly for a long time, with poor nutrition and a not-so-good physical condition. What can you expect from her?" Pan Lichen complained. He walked to the bedside, about to reach out and examine Jiang Weiyang, but Xue Silu suddenly frowned and pulled his arm back, roughly pushing him aside.
• "What are you doing?"
• Pan Lichen looked speechless, staring at his anxious friend in front of him, and shrugged helplessly. "Brother, didn't you ask me to examine her? I need to use a stethoscope. Do you think I have some special ability to see what's wrong with her with just a glance?"
• "No undressing allowed," Xue Silu insisted on his bottom line.
• Pan Lichen really didn't know what to say, but seeing Xue Silu's serious expression, he knew that reasoning with him was futile. So he gave up and obediently took the stethoscope, listening for a while through the clothes.
• The stethoscope's effect was already minimal, and with two layers of clothing in between, Pan Lichen couldn't hear anything. However, he could hear the faint sound of a heartbeat, indicating a stable heart rate.
• He put away the stethoscope and, under Xue Silu's watchful gaze, proceeded to examine Jiang Weiyang. Finally, he furrowed his brow and said, "This doesn't make sense."
• "What is it?" Xue Silu became inexplicably nervous, seeing Pan Lichen's expression.
• "I had a check-up at the hospital before, and there's nothing wrong with my body. It's just that I've been malnourished for a long time and my body is a bit weak. It's not like I faint easily. What did you do to her just now?"
• Pan Lichen couldn't help but gossip. Judging from the injury above Xue Silu's eyes, he was probably trying to force himself on her. However, Pan Lichen had known Xue Silu for over twenty years and understood him very well. He had been single for so many years and had a severe aversion to women. It was impossible for him to have any ulterior motives towards Jiang Weiyang.
• "If I knew the reason, why would I need you?" Xue Silu glared at Pan Lichen irritably. If it weren't for him being somewhat useful, he would have wanted to kick him out.
• Pan Lichen took the necessary tools and frowned, pondering for a moment. After thinking it over, he could only attribute the reason to Jiang Weiyang's excessively weak body.
• This woman probably never took good care of her body in the past, overworked herself, and left behind a lot of health issues.
• The results of the daytime examination hadn't come out yet, but based on the few physical examination results that had come out so far, this woman had irregular routines, irregular meals, not only low blood sugar but also severe anemia and a serious stomach problem.
• "I can't tell just by looking at it. Let her rest well for now. I'll draw some blood and take it back for testing. Her body is really weak. If she doesn't take good care of it, it will be troublesome in the future." Seeing that Xue Silu was about to explode, Pan Lichen didn't dare to talk nonsense and quickly took out various tools to draw blood from Jiang Weiyang.
• "The Jiang family is really something." Xue Silu, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, had actually let her body deteriorate like this. He couldn't help but sneer.
• Looking at Jiang Weiyang's pale and weak face, Xue Silu felt inexplicably annoyed. He didn't bother to watch Pan Lichen's actions and turned around and left the room.
• The wind rose at night, and soon it started to rain heavily. The wind mixed with raindrops blew on his face, feeling cool.
• Pan Lichen was already used to Xue Silu's temper, so he didn't think much of it. However, he became more curious about this Jiang Weiyang. Not many women could make Xue Silu lose control of his emotions, and Jiang Weiyang was one of a kind.
• After drawing the blood and taking good care of Xue Silu, Pan Lichen left the Xue family and returned to the hospital.
• Just as he arrived at the hospital, Pan Lichen's girlfriend called.
• The woman woke up in the middle of the night to find the bed empty, and her tone was filled with dissatisfaction. "Pan Lichen, if you don't explain it clearly to me, we're breaking up!"
• "Alu's wife had a high fever and fainted. She just called me to go and check on her. I just finished seeing her, I'll be back soon. Don't be angry, please." Pan Lichen quickly apologized and tried to make amends.
• There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, and the voice became somewhat sharp. "Who did you just mention? Alu? My idol? His wife? He's married?"
• Pan Lichen's girlfriend, Chen Xixi, was a journalist for Entertainment Weekly, and she was obsessed with celebrities' appearances. After meeting Xue Silu once with Pan Lichen, she was amazed. Recently, the newspaper happened to be planning an exclusive interview with Xue Silu, and Chen Xixi was worried about not having enough material. Suddenly, she heard such explosive news.
• Pan Lichen realized that he had said the wrong thing. Xue Silu's attitude towards Jiang Weiyang was unclear, and there had been no public announcement of their marriage yet. He probably didn't want outsiders to know.
• "No, you heard it wrong. It's someone else. Uh, hello? Hello? The signal suddenly became bad on my end, let's hang up..."
• After saying that, Pan Lichen quickly hung up the phone and patted his chest, feeling relieved.
• Chen Xixi frowned as she looked at her phone. After thinking for a moment, she opened the location and saw that Pan Lichen was actually in her private hospital. She immediately smiled, changed her clothes, grabbed her car keys, and headed straight to the hospital.
• After ending the call, Pan Lichen still felt a slight uneasiness. However, knowing that Xue Silu was probably anxiously waiting for the test results, he wasted no time and promptly conducted the blood test himself.
• The analysis of the blood sample didn't take much time, and he didn't delegate the task to anyone else. He personally handled it. Half an hour later, as he looked at the report in his hand, Pan Lichen couldn't contain his excitement. He quickly took a photo of the report and sent it to Xue Silu, along with the message: [Photo] Congratulations, Alu, you're going to be a father.
• At the Xue residence, ever since Pan Lichen left, Xue Silu had been standing on the balcony, gazing into the distance. His phone buzzed in his pocket several times, but it took him a while to retrieve it and glance at the message sent by Pan Lichen.
• His attention was immediately captivated by the result in the blood test report, and he remained lost in thought for quite some time. After a moment, he suddenly flung his phone forcefully into the darkness.
