Chapter 165 - Mr. Rat
A few months ago before Shi Enxi gave birth...
The cold breeze blew against the busy street of Beijing. A white Roll-Royce car stopped in front of the hospital building. A woman dressed in maternity clothes came out of the car after the door was opened for her by her bodyguard. It was that time of the week where she would go to the hospital to have her weekly checkup.
As usual, she went to her doctor's office but when she saw through the glass window of the door that the doctor was speaking with someone else, she decided to wait outside.
While she was waiting, her phone rang and so, she stood up and answered the call as she walked away from the doctor's office. Since she was within the bodyguard's sight, he didn't follow her.
"How was it?" Lu Mello asked from the other line.
His call was already a routine for Shi Enxi. Whenever he was not able to come with her during her checkup, he would always give her a call just to check on her.
"The doctor is still speaking with someone else." She replied with a small smile. "Haven't I told you that I'll call you after my checkup?"
"Can't help it, I'm missing my wife's voice right now," said Lu Mello with a flirtatious tone on his voice.
She rolled her eyes at his cheesy remark, "Now that you heard my voice, I'll be ending the call now, okay? Bye, darling."
She didn't wait for his reply and instead, she ended the call there and then. She turned and was about to head back to where the doctor's office was but she stopped on her tracks when she saw a familiar figure.
The man was wearing a mask but she was able to know who he was by seeing a glimpse of his eyes. Despite that, she still wasn't sure if he really was the man she knew but her instincts were telling her to follow him and so she did.
"Madam?" The bodyguard stood up and was about to follow her.
"Stay here," She said with a smile as she looked at him. "I'm just going to use the restroom."
"But-"
"It's just over that corner." And with that, she hurriedly left.
The bodyguard didn't find anything wrong with it. He has been assigned to guard her and every few minutes, she would usually go to the restroom. It was a normal thing for pregnant women.
Shi Enxi was able to catch up to the man that she saw earlier and he haven't noticed that she was following him at all so when he reached the parking lot, he lowered his mask.
Shi Enxi was not that far from him so she was able to see his face and that only confirmed her thoughts although she was still surprised to see him there.
Why was he in the hospital? Why was he seeing an OB-GYN? Did he get someone pregnant? That could be possible, right? The fact that he has been sleeping with other women, the possibility wasn't that low. But... shouldn't he be seeing the doctor WITH the woman he i.m.p.r.e.g.n.a.t.ed instead? So why was he alone?
Shi Enxi's head was filled with questions that can only be answered by the man himself. Since it was someone she knew, she began approaching him from behind.
The man stopped in front of his car upon hearing his phone rang. He took it out of his pocket and answered the call, "I've already spoken with the doctor that's in charge of Shi Enxi's pregnancy."
She stopped a few feet away from him. Okaaaay... That wasn't that she was expecting to hear. He came there to speak to the doctor because of her?
Since she wanted to hear more, she quickly hid herself to the nearest car.
"He's willing to work together with us as long as we pay him well."
"..." Willing to work together with them? Who was he talking with?
"Yes... I haven't visited her yet but I'll keep you updated concerning Shi Enxi."
Shi Enxi's brow twitched. Why does his conversation to whoever was on the other line was suddenly making her uneasy?
As soon as the call ended, Shi Enxi stood and finally called him, "Zi Xuan."
Zi Xuan was startled upon hearing his name. He turned to the woman who called him and his body instantly became stiff.
The side of Shi Enxi's lips lifted up into a smile. "My, oh, my. What do we got here?"
The surprised look on Zi Xuan's face was enough proof that he was up to something together with the person he spoke with earlier. The only problem she has at that moment was what should she do to make him spill everything out? Easy. She only has to act as if she knows what he cooking. Time to play some mind games with this man.
Zi Xuan wasn't sure if she heard his conversation with Shi Anhao but he decided to cover it by using his acting skills. "Huh? Xiao Xi? What are you doing-" He paused as he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
"I have always felt a rat near me but you see, the rat knows how to hide so it was giving me a hard time catching him for so long."
He tried his best to continue with his acting. He was able to remain calm because of it and instead, acted all confuse, "What do you mean?"
The temperature around them suddenly dropped after she said that. "Well, well, I'm now feeling the presence of this rat."
Shi Enxi's sharp gaze sent shiver on Zi Xuan's whole body. "It's actually surprising that the rat actually happens to be this six feet tall." She crossed her arms and gave him a bone-chilling smile. "I finally caught you, Mr. Rat."
Zi Xuan took a step towards her, "Xiao Xi-"
"I suggest you stand still, Mr. Zi. If you take any step closer to me, I can't promise you that my bodyguard won't shoot your leg."
