Chapter 491
So, when Xiao Linye was about to go in with her, she turned and hugged him.Xiao Linye was startled by her sudden movement and looked down. "What’s wrong?"
"I want to eat candy-coated duck!"
"Alright, let’s get it!" Xiao Linye nodded. "Shall I go buy it for you?"
"There’s no need for that. Just order delivery on your phone; you don’t have to go out," Ye Yuning said.
It felt a bit off for him to go out and buy food right after they got back.
Xiao Linye nodded. "Okay, then you get some rest."
"Mm-hm."
Ye Yuning turned and returned to the bedroom. Then, she quickly hid all the medicine she’d gotten from the hospital.
Back in his study, Xiao Linye stared somewhat blankly at the property deed Ye Yuning had been holding just moments before.
「At dinnertime.」
The candy-coated duck arrived, but looking at the dish she had impulsively requested, Ye Yuning didn’t really feel like eating it. Not wanting to arouse Xiao Linye’s suspicion, she forced herself to eat a few pieces.
Xiao Linye saw her lack of interest and frowned. "Didn’t you want to eat this? What’s wrong?"
"My appetite isn’t very good today," Ye Yuning said.
With secrets weighing on her mind, how could she possibly have any appetite?
Ye Yuning looked at Xiao Linye. Several times, words formed on her lips, but she swallowed them back down.
Xiao Linye looked at her and asked with a frown, "Do you need money?"
Considering she was holding the property deed earlier, Xiao Linye really couldn’t think of any other reason.
His sudden question caught Ye Yuning completely off guard.
"Ah?" she responded, startled.
"If you need money, just tell me, okay?"
Ye Yuning didn’t know where this was coming from, but seeing Xiao Linye say this, she still nodded. "Mm-hm, I understand."
"So, do you need it?"
"Not at all!" she replied.
Ever since she left the Ye Family, she had rarely been short of money. Even when Zheng Cai had been harsh, if she truly needed money, she had Tang Xi and Xia Andai. Especially Xia Andai, that trust fund kid...
In the end, Xiao Linye didn’t ask her why she was looking at the property deed.
The housekeeper brought over the heated medicine. "It was too hot earlier; it’s drinkable now."
Seeing the medicine made Ye Yuning’s eyelids twitch violently!
Xiao Linye said, "Get some honey water."
"Okay." The housekeeper nodded and hurried off to prepare some honey water.
"I can’t drink this medicine," Ye Yuning stated.
She remembered what the doctor had said today: medicines for regulating the body typically contained blood-activating ingredients. That was why she had almost miscarried today!
Xiao Linye raised an eyebrow. "Why?"
He looked at Ye Yuning, puzzled, assuming she was just being stubborn and refusing to take her medicine.
But Ye Yuning said, "There’s a problem with the specialist you found this time."
"Did something feel wrong after taking the medicine?"
"Yes! When I was in the office today, my abdomen hurt unbearably!"
"Abdominal pain? What happened?" Xiao Linye’s expression tensed instantly. Hearing her say her abdomen was in severe pain, he immediately got up, moved to her side, and instinctively placed his broad palm on her lower abdomen.
The moment his hand touched her lower abdomen, Ye Yuning’s body tensed instinctively.
She nodded. "It was incredibly painful. I went to the hospital, and they said I can’t take this medicine anymore."
She didn’t dare mention her pregnancy! If it turned out Xiao Linye had deceived her, she truly wouldn’t know what to do. But until she figured out exactly how he had deceived her, she definitely couldn’t mention the baby.
Hearing how severe her stomachache was, Xiao Linye suggested, "Then should we go to the hospital again now?"
"There’s no need. I’ve already been!" Ye Yuning said, shaking her head.
Hearing that the medicine made her stomach ache, Xiao Linye certainly wouldn’t let her drink it anymore and had the housekeeper take it away immediately.
"Then how about we go see the doctor again tomorrow?"
"Really, there’s no need. I’ve already seen a doctor, and they said it’ll be fine as long as I don’t take this medicine."
"Really?"
"Of course!" Ye Yuning nodded.
Hearing her say this, Xiao Linye didn’t insist further. "Well, if you’re really not feeling well, I’ll go to the hospital with you," he said. He didn’t mean for her to go by herself; he meant they would go together. This clearly showed his genuine concern for Ye Yuning.
Ye Yuning sensed the pleasant scent emanating from him and felt his overbearing yet intense concern for her. A complicated pang went through her heart.
If he had truly deceived her, as long as it wasn’t too serious or completely unconscionable, she could probably forgive him, couldn’t she?
「...」
That night, Ye Yuning slept fitfully.
She was now certain that Xiao Linye had also deceived her, but she didn’t know the extent of it.
「The next morning.」
When she woke up, her spirits were low.
Xiao Linye, seeing her listless expression, frowned. "Still not feeling well?"
He assumed it was physical discomfort.
Ye Yuning shook her head. "I’m not feeling unwell anymore. You don’t need to worry."
Hearing her say this, Xiao Linye said nothing more. His way of thinking was sometimes very direct: if you weren’t feeling well, you should say so, and he would take you to the hospital. If you insisted you were fine, he would genuinely believe you.
The housekeeper had prepared something different for breakfast; Ye Yuning ate a bowl of dumplings.
「As they were leaving the house.」
Xiao Linye saw her carrying a large black bag, its contents unknown.
"What’s that?" Xiao Linye asked.
"Supplies I’m getting for the studio," Ye Yuning replied.
When she had decided to hide the medicine in her office, Ye Yuning had already come up with this excuse.
Hearing they were supplies for the studio, Xiao Linye remarked, "Your boss is really stingy. Can’t they hire a dedicated person for procurement?"
This girl is tired enough as it is, and they’re still making her run errands!
"The studio is tiny. There’s no need for a dedicated buyer. You’re overthinking it," Ye Yuning said. Her earnest and perfectly reasonable explanation left Xiao Linye without a comeback.
