Chapter 1257 - 1180: Returning to the Hospital
He didn’t call for the waiter. He poured himself some wine, and as he did, he said lightly, "Nuannuan, will you marry Song Yansheng?"
Shi Nuan froze, her movements while eating also stopped. He raised his head and looked at Shen Zui.
Shen Zui held his glass and sat back down, his dark eyes once again falling on Shi Nuan.
He asked again, "If you were pregnant, would you give birth to the child for Song Yansheng? Or would Song Yansheng marry you because you’re having his child?"
A sudden sharp pain stabbed at her chest. Shi Nuan quickly reached out and pressed a hand over her heart.
A wave of nausea rose in her throat as well. She shot to her feet and ran toward the bathroom in the private room.
Shen Zui was stunned, not understanding what was going on. He had just stood up, wanting to chase after her, when after only a few steps he heard the sounds of vomiting coming from the bathroom.
"Nuannuan..." Shen Zui murmured, and only then came back to his senses and walked over.
At that moment, Shi Nuan was bent over the toilet, retching hard.
Almost everything she had just eaten was thrown up.
Shen Zui was extremely worried, patting Shi Nuan’s back while anxiously calling her name.
But right now, Shi Nuan only felt a wrenching pain in her chest, her whole body completely drained.
She was just vomiting, just feeling awful; she couldn’t feel anything else. She couldn’t even hear Shen Zui calling her.
After throwing up for quite a while, Shi Nuan finally calmed down a little, but for some reason, the pain in her chest actually grew worse.
That pain seemed to be pushing a force straight up into her eyes, and big tears began to roll down from Shi Nuan’s eyes.
Worried, Shen Zui reached out and picked Shi Nuan up, planning to take her to the hospital.
But after only a couple of steps, he was stopped by Shi Nuan’s cold three-word command: "Let go of me!"
Shen Zui was stunned. The strength in his hands instantly went slack, probably because he couldn’t believe it, or maybe it was something else.
But he did indeed let go of Shi Nuan.
Shi Nuan got down from Shen Zui’s arms, walked over to the table, and picked up a napkin to wipe her mouth.
Then she looked at the red wine that she hadn’t taken a single sip of.
The doctor had told her to avoid cold things, so she hadn’t drunk any just now.
Even though the wine was actually at room temperature.
She picked up the red wine and took a mouthful, but didn’t swallow. She just used it like mouthwash.
The bitterness in her mouth faded a little thanks to the sweetness of the wine. Only then did she pick up her bag and head for the door.
Shen Zui called out to her softly, "Nuannuan..."
But Shi Nuan seemed not to hear him at all. She just kept walking forward, opened the door, and walked out of the private room.
Shen Zui wanted to chase after her, but was stopped by someone in the hallway.
That person was his manager, Suozhi.
Suozhi said, "My little ancestor. If you go out like this, the fans will surround you in no time!"
Shen Zui’s brows knit. "Right now I can’t care about that!"
"But at the very least, you should think of that Miss Shi, right? If you get mobbed by fans, have you thought about what she might run into?"
Shen Zui clenched his jaw and, in the end, didn’t go out.
Behind Suozhi stood Shi Jiaojiao. She still hadn’t figured out what had happened.
What was going on between Shen Zui and Shi Nuan? Why did Shi Nuan leave? And why did Shen Zui come out?
What on earth was all this about?
Just as she was puzzling over it, Shen Zui suddenly called out to her and said, "Shi Jiaojiao, go outside and check on Nuannuan!"
Shi Jiaojiao was taken aback. She thought, why should she go check on Shi Nuan, what did Shi Nuan have to do with her?
But at a time like this, she didn’t dare disobey Shen Zui, so she could only follow after him, unwilling as she was.
Shi Nuan quickly walked out of the Western restaurant.
On the way, she ran into quite a few people.
Everyone looked at her curiously, because her face was deathly pale and she looked very off.
When she walked out of the restaurant just now, a waiter had kindly asked if she wasn’t feeling well.
She lightly shook her head and said she was fine, then lifted her feet and walked out.
As luck would have it, a taxi pulled up just then. Without a word, she raised her hand to hail it and quickly got in.
The driver asked where she was going. She had wanted to say the Shi Family, but when he saw how bad she looked, he added, "Little girl, are you feeling unwell? Do you want me to take you to the hospital?"
Hospital?
Shi Nuan’s eyes flickered. She didn’t know why, but she felt that the answer she wanted, the hospital might be able to give her.
Yes, where she should be going now was the hospital.
So she said to the driver, "Please, to Third Hospital."
Actually, the closest to where Shi Nuan was would’ve been First Hospital, but she’d been examined at First Hospital last time.
They hadn’t found anything wrong, so she wanted to go to a different hospital to get checked again.
It wasn’t that she suspected anything in particular, she just wanted to be more certain.
The driver didn’t ask much, just started the car quickly, destination: Third Hospital.
Shi Jiaojiao had chased after Shi Nuan all the way out, but unexpectedly, just as she caught sight of Shi Nuan’s figure, Shi Nuan got into a taxi and left.
She shouted after her several times, but it was no use.
And the direction Shi Nuan left in didn’t seem to be toward the Shi Family. If she wasn’t going there, where was Shi Nuan going?
Could she be heading to TK Group to find Song Yansheng?
Shi Jiaojiao narrowed her eyes. Thinking of what had just happened, she felt that this wasn’t impossible.
It seemed something really had happened between Shen Zui and Shi Nuan, otherwise Shi Nuan wouldn’t have reacted like that.
And she also believed that Shen Zui shouldn’t have told anyone about Shi Nuan’s pregnancy and miscarriage.
Thinking of this, she relaxed a little, telling herself not to overthink it. Right now, the more important thing was to go back and check on Shen Zui.
...
Sitting in the taxi, the closer they got to Third Hospital, the more nervous Shi Nuan felt.
By the time the car suddenly stopped, her palms were completely drenched in sweat.
She sat in the car, staring at the hospital entrance, and forgot to get out.
It wasn’t until the driver reminded her that she came back to herself. The driver asked, "Miss, are you really okay? If anything happens, remember to contact your family. Some things can’t be solved by yourself!"
Shi Nuan’s eyes flickered. She paid the fare and thanked this kind driver.
The driver waved a hand and drove off. Shi Nuan looked at the gate of Third Hospital again, took a deep breath, and walked in.
As she entered the hospital, she first went to register. When the staff asked what department she wanted, Shi Nuan’s eyes flickered.
She lightly breathed out three words: "Obstetrics and gynecology."
...
That same noon, Song Yansheng had a social engagement.
But the other party wasn’t Liao Qinghe, though Liao Qinghe also came along to this engagement.
At that kind of banquet, Liao Qinghe was naturally in his element, and didn’t need Song Yansheng to look after her at all.
After exchanging pleasantries with a group of people, Song Yansheng took a glass of wine and headed for a corner by himself.
It wasn’t that he wanted to play it cool. He just didn’t know why, but this noon he kept feeling an oppressive heaviness in his chest.
Also, he kind of missed the little girl. It was just unfortunate that he’d left his phone in the car, so he couldn’t even call her.
He didn’t know if the little girl was thinking of him this noon. She’d been in poor health these days, and on top of that she’d just joined the Lishui Project team and run into the aftermath of the Shi Family shareholders’ meeting. He really was a bit worried!
