Dominant Marriage: The CEO's Overbearing Love

Chapter 239 - 217: I didn’t turn on the light when I slept with you, right?

He protected her as they crossed the street, and the two walked towards the company together, taking the public elevator.Most people were on their lunch break, so the elevator was empty.

He Ye looked at Jiajia and asked, "Are you... pregnant?"

Jiajia froze, glanced down at her own belly. The dress was loose-fitting, it shouldn’t be noticeable.

"I heard from my sister-in-law," He Ye explained, resolving Chen Jiatong’s confusion.

"Pregnant women need to take care of themselves. This job is tiring, don’t push yourself too hard. You can take a leave."

Jiajia smiled awkwardly. "It’s okay, I’m not tired, just some desk work. I’d get too bored with nothing to do."

Besides, money would be needed everywhere in the baby’s future. If she didn’t work hard now, how could she take good care of her child?

"Hmm, the company has benefits. Pregnant women don’t need to work overtime, and the workload will be adjusted accordingly."

Jiajia nodded and replied, "Yes, the manager takes good care of me."

He Ye remained silent; it was he who personally instructed the manager to take care of her.

"Almost three months, right? Isn’t it time for a check-up?"

Jiajia felt uncomfortable discussing such detailed matters with an unfamiliar man, and just nodded with a forced smile.

"Let’s go together tomorrow morning, I also need to go to the hospital, I have a slight cold."

"Huh? No need..." Jiajia quickly refused, "Miaomiao will accompany me..."

"My sister-in-law and Brother Chen are having fun every night; they’ll be too tired in the morning. I’ll come to pick you up tomorrow morning."

Jiajia felt troubled, thinking since when was Vice President He always this enthusiastic?

Could he be treating her like those other women outside, trying to flirt with her? But he knew she was pregnant, so he shouldn’t be interested in her, right?

The elevator dinged, stopping at her office floor. She stepped out, and He Ye called after her, "Keep in touch."

...

Early the next morning, Jiajia was still asleep in bed, having forgotten her arrangement with He Ye.

Thinking he didn’t know where she lived, she could brush him off when he called the next day.

Who knew, when she answered his call, he said he was already downstairs.

Chen Jiatong realized she couldn’t avoid him, worried about keeping him waiting, she quickly got up to wash and head downstairs, only to see him leaning against a white sports car. For going to the hospital, his outfit looked more like he was out to flirt.

He Ye gave her a smile, "Morning."

Jiajia smiled and nodded. He gentlemanly opened the car door for her, then walked to the driver’s side, starting the car as he asked, "Did I come too early? You look like you just woke up."

Hearing this, Jiajia immediately opened her eyes wide, acting fully awake, "No! I usually get up around this time... But Vice President, how do you know I live here?"

He Ye raised an eyebrow, "My sister-in-law used to live here, I’ve been here a few times."

Jiajia suddenly understood, guessing that Miaomiao might have mentioned her address casually, which was how He Ye knew.

"By the way, just call me by my name outside the office; it feels too distant to call me Vice President. You and my sister-in-law are close, so calling me by my name is fine."

Jiajia just smiled and nodded without saying anything.

He Ye drove at a stable speed, afraid that any sudden moves might make her feel uncomfortable, knowing pregnant women often have pregnancy reactions.

At the hospital parking lot, He Ye helped her carefully, afraid she might get bumped.

The lobby on the first floor was already crowded. Seeing the long queue, He called in a favor to skip the line and go straight for the check-up.

Jiajia was thankful she came with him; otherwise, she would be waiting until noon.

As they waited outside the check-up room, Jiajia said, "Didn’t you say you needed some medication? You can go ahead, I’ll wait here."

He Ye saw that other pregnant women had their husbands or family accompanying them; it would feel desolate to leave her alone. "It’s okay, no rush. My issue is minor, a friend will prepare the medicine, and I’ll pick it up later."

"Sorry for taking up so much of your time."

He Ye smiled guiltily, "Nonsense, my sister-in-law’s friend is also my friend. It’s no trouble at all."

Jiajia glanced at him, feeling that he seemed much more approachable than the rumors suggested.

As she was thinking this, the door of a nearby room opened. A tall woman in a tight black dress stepped out, adjusted her dress, and walked towards them, her gaze falling on He Ye with some surprise. "Oh? Mr. He?"

He Ye looked at the woman, frowning, trying to recall who she was.

The woman, with her heavy makeup, glanced at Chen Jiatong sitting next to him and smiled knowingly, saying, "When did Mr. He become so considerate? Accompanying a woman for an abortion? When I was pregnant, you just gave me money to take care of it myself!"

Jiajia felt embarrassed, hearing about He Ye’s past affairs was quite shameful.

He Ye frowned and snapped, "Who the hell are you? Watch your mouth!"

"Oh, right. With the rotating influx of women around Mr. He, it’s impossible to remember someone you slept with years ago, isn’t it?" She said, looking Jiajia up and down with some disdain. "Didn’t expect Mr. He’s standards to lower so much? Even a woman with that figure catches your eye."

Jiajia was immediately displeased. What was wrong with her figure? She had a nice chest and butt, being pregnant made her even more [full-bodied].

In the past, Jiajia would have cursed such a fox spirit out loudly, but she had tempered her temper recently and almost forgot how to curse. Besides, with He Ye around, she didn’t want to act rudely.

"I must have slept with you in the dark, huh? Look in the mirror, see how you look! Old and ugly. Why did I even bother back then? Looking at you now hurts my teeth! Get lost!"

The woman’s face turned gray with embarrassment, and with people around glancing at her due to He Ye’s outburst, she glared at Jiajia, feeling humiliated but was forced to leave.

Setting aside He Ye’s romantic past, He Ye looked quite handsome just now when he stood up for her.

After the woman left, He Ye looked at Jiajia, wanting to explain, but afraid it would be abrupt.

He indeed wasn’t consistent in his past, but he hadn’t been with a woman recently.

He didn’t go to nightclubs anymore, following her home after work and lying on his bed thinking about her and the child.

Sometimes when he went out, he couldn’t help but buy baby products, not even realizing why he became like this.

He started to dislike the unstable life of indulgence, but he wasn’t confident enough. Was a stable or monotonous marriage really suitable for him? He wasn’t sure if he should disturb her and the child.

During the check-up, looking at the B-ultrasound images, the doctor pointed out the baby’s parts to them.

It wasn’t clear, but they could imagine the joy.

Seeing Jiajia’s smiling face, He Ye’s expression softened. Looking at their child, his once firmly held "no marriage" belief began to waver.

Brother Chen had loved his sister-in-law throughout; their affectionate relationship made him envious.

Having a family, it must feel good, right?
