Mr. Bigshot Is Obsessed with His Hidden-Marriage Wife
Chapter 192: Fooled

Chapter 192: Chapter 192: Fooled

Fu Xingzhou received a call from Liang Zheng, saying that Xin Rou had a stomach ache and wanted to go to the hospital, but he couldn’t attend to it right now.

Fu Xingzhou hadn’t planned to get involved. Initially asking Liang Zheng to arrange a residence and school for Xin Rou was, to him, fulfilling his duty.

Yet as he drove to the entrance of the Hongfeng Hall, he saw from afar a girl squatting on the ground, her hands clutching her stomach in pain.

That profile made him think of Ye Yan in a daze.

He felt he was going crazy. Xin Rou clearly was not Ye Yan, he knew it very well.

But seeing Xin Rou smile at him, behaving obediently and compliantly, was like taking a painkiller that temporarily relieved the agony in his heart.

Somehow, he ended up taking her to the hospital.

No matter how much Xin Rou tried to ingratiate herself, Fu Xingzhou could never see her as Ye Yan again.

All that arose was boundless irritation and the emptiness after the medicine had worn off.

Xin Rou watched as Fu Xingzhou walked away, her face filled with disappointment and grievance.

She had finally gotten a chance to meet him, yet she couldn’t even get his contact information.

She had waited so long, only to be greeted by loneliness.

"Mr. Bodyguard, will I be able to see Mr. Fu again?"

"Miss Xin." The bodyguard stood by, having thoroughly guessed her expressions and thoughts.

Ever since Mr. Fu had nobody by his side, countless people had sharpened their heads trying to get his attention.

And this Miss Xin, merely because she bore some resemblance to his wife, had captured his momentary attention.

But Mr. Fu’s mind was clear like a bright mirror; naturally, he wouldn’t regard her as his wife or a substitute for his wife.

"I advise you to mind your role and not do anything unnecessary."

The bodyguard’s words sounded like an order from Fu Xingzhou. Despite her reluctance, Xin Rou obediently didn’t say more.

After finishing her heart monitoring, Ye Yan walked out of the consulting room with Meng Tian.

Just as they left, they saw a man standing against the wall, dressed in a tailored black suit which added an extraordinary luxury to his figure.

Not having seen him for many days, his facial contours appeared sharper, but his eyes seemed to be veiled by a mist, not quite clear.

Ye Yan was stunned.

When they were called earlier, she immediately pulled Meng Tian away, sure that Fu Xingzhou hadn’t seen her.

But why was he here?

Was he waiting for her, or was that girl also here for a check-up?

Ye Yan nodded at him as a greeting.

Fu Xingzhou had saved her before and even sent Li Jin to prison; those women who had been hurt by him were also somewhat redeemed because of him.

For this, Ye Yan was very grateful to him.

But gratitude was one thing, and emotions were another.

"Ye Yan," Fu Xingzhou suddenly stopped her, "why isn’t your boyfriend here?"

This kind of prenatal check-up, shouldn’t a boyfriend be accompanying her?

Yet she was here with her best friend.

Ye Yan felt a jolt in her heart but kept a calm expression, "He has surgery today and couldn’t leave."

"He’s always so busy, how can he take care of you?"

"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Fu, but I’m not so fragile that I need constant company."

Ye Yan looked deeply at Fu Xingzhou, "It’s quite a coincidence to see Mr. Fu at the gynecology and obstetrics department."

"I’m giving a friend a lift," Fu Xingzhou, fearing that she might misunderstand something, replied with an urgent tone. "Liang Zheng’s girlfriend pleaded for my help."

"Mr. Fu, you don’t have to explain all this to me, you’re single, nothing you do would come off as strange," Ye Yanxiao smiled. "I hope Mr. Fu finds his happiness soon."

As Ye Yan and Meng Tian walked away, Fu Xingzhou kicked the corner of the wall in frustration.

Just now, he had a premonition that Ye Yan was avoiding him on purpose.

He made his way to the clinic and waited at the door for a long time before he finally saw her.

He had only intended to check on her, but it unexpectedly backfired.

Did she think Xin Rou was his new girlfriend? Bringing her to visit the gynecologist certainly spurred wild imaginations.

After seeing Ye Yan into a taxi, Meng Tian took out her car keys to return to the police station.

Before she could open the car door, two black-suited bodyguards suddenly charged from behind.

Just from their towering stature alone, Meng Tian knew they were far from ordinary and didn’t resist, meekly following them to a sedan.

The bodyguard opened the car door for her, "Miss Meng, sorry for the offense."

Meng Tian glared at the bodyguard, and after settling into her seat, she saw the man smoking next to her.

She was annoyed, "Fu Xingzhou, are you sick? If you want to talk, just talk. What is the meaning of this?"

Being dragged into a car in broad daylight, she had initially thought she was confronting a revenge seeker.

Fu Xingzhou slowly exhaled a ring of smoke, "Miss Meng, I want to ask you something, and I need an honest answer."

Meng Tian faintly guessed what he wanted to ask and immediately became alert.

"Whose child is Ye Yan carrying?"

"Why should I tell you?" Meng Tian raised her chin like a defiant little fighter cock, with an attitude that said, "What can you do if I don’t tell you?"

Fu Xingzhou smiled, "Did you meet Li Jin? Didn’t you ask him about his past experiences?"

Indeed, Meng Tian had asked, but Li Jin had lost his mind and couldn’t answer at all.

Yet, his eyes only showed a longing for death, as if each second of living was torturous.

Whatever had made a man like Li Jin prefer death over life showed the extent of hellish suffering he had endured.

"What do you mean? If I don’t tell you, do you plan to put me through what he endured?" Meng Tian thought the man in front of her had truly gone mad.

He and Tang Jingyao were not sane people.

Fu Xingzhou’s knuckles tapped rhythmically on the car window.

It was like a little hammer tapping on Meng Tian’s heart, not forceful, yet tormenting.

After a moment, he suddenly flashed a smile at her, even more artificial than Tang Jingyao’s smile, "You are Ye Yan’s sister; how could I possibly hurt you."

Meng Tian inwardly scoffed, thinking that when such people went mad, they would not care who you were.

"How about a deal? If you tell me whose child it is, I will divulge a secret about Jiang Ying." His dark eyes bore into hers, like a hunter sitting by a trap, saying, ’Come here, I’ve got something tasty for you.’

"A secret that even Tang Jingyao doesn’t know," Fu Xingzhou enticed smoothly. "Aren’t you curious?"

"I’m curious about nothing," Meng Tian certainly would never betray her friend, but her heart surged with waves of agitation at Fu Xingzhou’s words.

A secret about Jiang Ying, one even Tang Jingyao didn’t know? What could it be?

But that secret was not enough to outweigh the years of friendship she had with Ye Yan.

"That’s a pity," Fu Xingzhou said, seemingly disappointed, and resumed smoking. "Since we can’t collaborate, please get out of the car, Miss Meng."

Without another word, Meng Tian pushed open the car door and stepped out.

Only after Fu Xingzhou’s car had driven away did she suddenly pinch herself hard: damn, I’d been duped.
