Chapter 56: Chapter 56: Really Hungry

Gu Fuqiao took the cup of water nearby, took a sip, and after calming herself, said, "I’m not pregnant."

Yan Zhen Guo said righteously, "But you just had morning sickness. I heard from Chen Yong that his wife was vomiting almost every day when she was pregnant."

Gu Fuqiao retorted, "That wasn’t morning sickness, it was just nausea making me gag." After saying this, Gu Fuqiao felt dizzy from the circular conversation. Isn’t nausea also a symptom of pregnancy? Anyway, the more she explained, the worse it got!

She straight up said, "Anyway, it’s not what you think."

Yan Zhen Guo obviously looked unconvinced, reaching out towards Gu Fuqiao’s chest again, but Gu Fuqiao blocked him swiftly, just as Yan Zhen Guo said, "Wang Mei said you went to the hospital for a check-up today. Don’t you want this child?"

As he spoke, a hint of coldness flashed in Yan Zhen Guo’s tone.

Upon hearing the name Wang Mei, Gu Fuqiao was about to explode with anger. What’s this troublemaker up to again!

"What a mess!" Gu Fuqiao stood up, pointed at the door, and said, "I went to the hospital with Chen Bajin from next door for some fun, Chen Bajin can vouch for me. And besides, I ran into Ouyang Xuan at the hospital, how could I go for any checkup? I have no idea what nonsense Wang Mei is spouting!"

Seeing Yan Zhen Guo’s expression, and knowing he listened to Wang Mei’s nonsense and made wild guesses, Gu Fuqiao’s anger flared up again, and she turned around to head back to her room.

Yan Zhen Guo, noticing Gu Fuqiao’s reaction, also sensed she was angry. He stood up intending to follow her in and try some softening tactics, but Gu Fuqiao gave him no chance at all, locked the door as soon as she was inside.

Looking at the closed door, Gu Fuqiao knew Yan Zhen Guo was outside, but she just didn’t want to see him now!

She cursed quietly, "Wang Mei’s good at everything, why don’t you just go live with her already!" Whether she was angry at Yan Zhen Guo’s imaginary scenarios or because he believed Wang Mei’s words, Gu Fuqiao was so upset she didn’t eat and eventually fell asleep in a daze.

Gu Fuqiao woke up in the evening. Upon waking, the door had already been opened, and a wave of greasy smoke wafted in from outside. She frowned slightly and thought, did Yan Zhen Guo set the kitchen on fire?

She got up to check the kitchen and found it smoky inside, but Yan Zhen Guo was nowhere to be seen, only a trace of army green visible through the smoke. The anger from before had long gone. Gu Fuqiao went in, took a ladle of water from the water tank, poured it into the iron pot, and dragged Yan Zhen Guo out of the kitchen.

Yan Zhen Guo’s determined face was smeared with soot, and Gu Fuqiao had never seen him like this before. She couldn’t help but laugh and said, "Alright, what were you doing just now?"

"Hungry," Yan Zhen Guo glanced at Gu Fuqiao and said. This time, the hunger had no other intention, and Gu Fuqiao knew this. Given how angry she was earlier, Yan Zhen Guo probably wasn’t about to do anything rash. She recalled that Yan Zhen Guo wasn’t picky about food; otherwise, why would he make something like egg noodles boiled in cold water? Seeing the blackened pot, Gu Fuqiao realized Yan Zhen Guo was probably trying to make a decent meal for her. Thinking of this, Gu Fuqiao almost felt this man, who only knew how to start fires, wasn’t half bad.

She pushed Yan Zhen Guo aside and said, "Forget it, let me cook."

Perhaps it was because Yan Zhen Guo had upset Gu Fuqiao today; he didn’t tease her that night. The next day, when Yan Zhen Guo left, Gu Fuqiao carefully sorted her thoughts.

How did Wang Mei know she went to the hospital? Unless Wang Mei went to the hospital herself. Going to the hospital amid a scandal, Wang Mei probably had her own secrets, and it seemed like she was aiming to set her up again. Fortunately, Ouyang Xuan, nominally at least, was still her cousin. If it was some other man, she feared she’d end up being falsely accused of something terrible.

While Gu Fuqiao was pondering these things, someone suddenly knocked on her door. She opened it to find Chen Bajin and Wang Mei standing at the door.

Seeing Wang Mei, Gu Fuqiao felt like she was here to cause trouble.

Chen Bajin saw Gu Fuqiao open the door but say nothing, chuckled twice, and said, "I cooked a lot of corn today, and brought you a few."

"Yeah, I just happened to see Sister-in-law Chen here, and I also have something to discuss with Gu... Sister-in-law Yan." Wang Mei’s voice was soft but Gu Fuqiao sensed the vehemence hidden in her words.

Gu Fuqiao raised an eyebrow, stepped aside, and said, "Come in and have a seat; it’s quite hot outside."

After they entered, Gu Fuqiao turned on the fan. Initially, it was hard to get used to, but in this era without air conditioning, relying solely on hand-held fans was exhausting. This electric fan, although it looked unstable, assuredly wouldn’t fall, according to Gu Fuqiao’s experiments.

Once inside, Chen Bajin comfortably sat down. Her personality was more boisterous. She looked around and commented, "Your place is really tidy!"

Before Gu Fuqiao could respond, Wang Mei chimed in, "Yes, Sister-in-law Chen is right. Sometimes I really admire the loving relationship between Sister-in-law Yan and Brother Yan, living such a good life."

"Once married, as long as there’s harmony between the couple, life will definitely be good," Gu Fuqiao interrupted Wang Mei bluntly.

Chen Bajin, hearing Gu Fuqiao’s words, found them quite reasonable. If a woman loves a man wholeheartedly, naturally their home would be tidy.

She nodded and said, "Yes, Wang Mei, you’ll have a good life when you get married too."

Wang Mei laughed dismissively and said, "Yes, although Sister-in-law, what was it you went to the hospital for yesterday? Also, why didn’t you have a number... Do Sister-in-law and that male doctor know each other?"

Chen Bajin was startled by Wang Mei’s words, looking confusedly at Gu Fuqiao. She remembered going to watch the commotion with Gu Fuqiao the day before, but could Gu Fuqiao have gone to see a doctor halfway through?

"What happened to you? Did you go see a doctor yesterday?" Chen Bajin asked worriedly, looking at Gu Fuqiao.

Chen Bajin’s eyes were filled with sincerity; she was genuinely concerned about Gu Fuqiao. Gu Fuqiao raised her head directly, bypassing Wang Mei’s question and said, "Wang Mei, how do you know I went for a checkup? And, single man and woman, you’re accusing me of going in alone with a male doctor and ruining my reputation?"

Wang Mei hadn’t expected Gu Fuqiao to be so straightforward. She didn’t know what to say, awkwardly pinched her fingers and said, "It’s not what Sister-in-law thinks... I really didn’t mean any harm..."
