Chapter 13 Good Things Keep Coming

• Ye Manxi is pregnant!
• Ye Luhe, who had been eavesdropping outside their room, clenched her fists tightly. If she could make a sound, she would have pounded on the door.
• She was consumed with jealousy, and her eyes were about to pop out. She could even hear the sound of her teeth grinding.
• That cunning woman!
• Ye Luhe wanted Ye Manxi to marry in her place, but she took advantage of the situation to get close to Huo Miao. What did she think she was doing?
• Did she believe that having a child would guarantee her a happy life?
• Dream on!
• Ye Luhe covered her chest and leaned against the wall, speechless for a moment.
• Inside the room, the two people were still cuddling together. Ye Luhe closed her eyes, and the veins on her forehead throbbed.
• Suddenly, she had a bright idea and opened her eyes.
• It's actually good that Ye Manxi is pregnant. With a child, Ye Luhe would have more security. But this child, Ye Manxi is not qualified to be its mother!
• The medicine downstairs was ready, and Ye Manxi went downstairs to get it.
• As soon as she entered the kitchen, Ye Luhe tightly grabbed her wrist.
• Ye Manxi was startled. Recently, Ye Luhe had been coming over more frequently, every few days.
• Ye Luhe dragged her to the corner of the kitchen, staring at Ye Manxi with bloodshot eyes.
• Ye Manxi was familiar with this look. Since they were young, every time Ye Manxi ranked first in exams or received scholarships, anything that Ye Manxi got and Ye Luhe didn't, her eyes would turn red with jealousy.
• Ye Manxi's heart tightened, realizing that something was not right. It seemed that Ye Luhe had arrived earlier and overheard what Huo Miao had just said.
• Sure enough, Ye Luhe's gaze fell on Ye Manxi's abdomen, and her eyes were about to pop out. "Ye Manxi, hello! I asked you to marry in my place, but you seduced Huo Miao! Do you think you can stay by his side just because you're pregnant with his child? Dream on!"
• Ye Luhe's grip on her wrist was painful. Ye Manxi pulled her hand away and glanced at her before intending to walk past her.
• Ye Luhe naturally wouldn't let her go easily and blocked Ye Manxi's path. "If you don't listen to me, believe me, I can make sure your baby won't be born!"
• Ye Manxi instinctively protected her belly with her hand. Ye Luhe looked at her with a smug smile. "It's good that you're scared. If you want to give birth to Huo Miao's child, you have to obey me."
• Ye Manxi took a deep breath and looked her in the eye.
• Ye Lvhe seemed a bit evasive: "You can give birth to Huo Miao's child, but the condition is that the child will belong to me and Huo Miao, and have nothing to do with you. Because just now, Huo Miao called out my name, Ye Lvhe, which means your belly is just a greenhouse, and the child will only pass through your belly."
• Ye Manxi caught a glimpse of the jade pendant that Huo Miao had given her hanging around Ye Lvhe's neck, which had been snatched away by Ye Lvhe a long time ago.
• She had always been keen on snatching things from Ye Manxi.
• From small things like erasers to the most important thing to Ye Manxi.
• Like Huo Miao.
• And now, Ye Lvhe wanted to snatch her child.
• She held her abdomen tightly, but she knew that her power was so weak that it could be ignored.
• Ye Lvhe continued to threaten her: "If you play any tricks, I will tell Huo Tianqi. Do you think he will let you give birth to Huo Miao's child? So, if you want to give birth, you better behave and follow the rules!"
• Seeing that Ye Manxi remained silent, Ye Lvhe felt a bit relieved.
• But when she thought of the scene where the two of them were tightly embracing just now, her temples throbbed with anger.
• She reached out and fiercely pinched Ye Manxi's arm, refusing to let go.
• Ye Manxi was in pain and spasmed. She forcefully shook off Ye Lvhe, picked up the Chinese medicine on the stove, and went upstairs.
• Ye Lvhe looked up at Ye Manxi's back and felt both angry and uneasy.
• In any case, as soon as there was any sign of improvement in Huo Miao's condition, she had to immediately drive Ye Manxi away. Otherwise, where would she go?
• Ye Lvhe stayed until she watched Huo Miao finish taking the medicine and reluctantly walked away.
• The medicine became more and more bitter with each dose, with one preserved plum upgraded to two.
• While Huo Miao was taking the medicine, Jiang Jiye arrived. He was carrying a full load of supplements and such.
• It must have been Huo Miao who asked Jiang Jiye to bring them. He placed the supplements on the table: "Mr. Huo, I bought a lot. I'll go buy more after you finish them."
• Huo Miao walked to the table and touched those things. There were bird's nests and other similar items. He nodded in satisfaction: "You've been coming more frequently lately."
• "Yes." Jiang Jiye looked at Huo Miao, who walked back to his usual seat on the rattan chair with precision, and widened his eyes in surprise. He lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Huo, your eyes seem to have recovered?"
• "Not yet," Huo Miao replied, "I can only see rough outlines, like you being here."
• He pointed to the direction where Jiang Jiye was: "Isn't it?"
• Jiang Jiye was overjoyed, his eyes turning red: "Madam is truly a divine doctor, she will definitely cure your eyes!"
• Huo Miao smiled and drank the remaining medicine in the bowl in one gulp. It was a series of good things, even the bitter Chinese medicine that could kill a person didn't taste that bitter anymore.
• He pinched a preserved plum and put it in his mouth, and then stuffed another one into Ye Manxi's mouth.
• Jiang Jiye wiped the corner of his eye and whispered, "Mr. Jiang will come to Autumn City soon..."
• Seeing that they had something to discuss, Ye Manxi picked up the empty bowl and walked out of the room.
• Now every step Ye Manxi took downstairs was cautious. Although the child was an accident, she was still ecstatic.
• No matter what the future holds, as long as she can give birth to her and Huo Miao's child, she is willing to do anything.
• Huo Miao and Jiang Jiye were discussing matters upstairs, while Ye Manxi leaned on the dining table and wrote down a course of treatment, keeping an eye on Mei Jie and the housekeeper, afraid that they would eavesdrop on Huo Miao's conversation.
• However, during this period, Ye Lühe occasionally provided them with money, so they didn't closely monitor Huo Miao.
• With the opportunity to earn money and an easy job, why wouldn't they?
• As she was writing, she suddenly paused and recollected that Ye Zemin had requested her grandfather's medical book.
• What exactly was contained in her grandfather's medical book that had captivated Ye Zemin to such an extent?
• After a while, Jiang Jiye descended the stairs, and Ye Manxi nodded at him, preparing to go upstairs. Suddenly, Jiang Jiye whispered to her, "Madam, didn't you introduce yourself as Ye Manxi? Why does Mr. Huo refer to you as Lühe?"
• Ye Manxi was startled, anxiously gazing at him, unsure of how he had discovered the truth.
• Jiang Jiye pointed to the name on the notebook she held in her arms, "Ye Manxi, it should be you, right?"
• Immediately, Ye Manxi flipped over the notebook, grasped Jiang Jiye's sleeve, and shook her head at him.
• Jiang Jiye could probably deduce what had transpired. He had prior knowledge of Huo Miao and Ye Lühe's relationship, and they had even set a wedding date. However, who could have foreseen Huo Miao's transformation and Ye Lühe's refusal to marry him? It must be because Ye Manxi was asked to marry him instead.
• Nevertheless, Jiang Jiye felt that this unexpected turn of events was quite favorable.
• He held affection for Mrs. Huo and could also perceive her genuine concern for Mr. Huo.
