Rekindled Hearts: The Tycoon’s Reluctant Love
Chapter 307 - Chapter 307 Chapter 306 Meeting as Strangers

Chapter 307: Chapter 306: Meeting as Strangers Chapter 307: Chapter 306: Meeting as Strangers Frankly, Ming Yao was shocked.

“It couldn’t be Yanxi I know, could it?”

After Xia Yiwan and Yanxi had a shotgun wedding, she found out that he and Fourth Master were close brothers.

“It is the Yanxi you know,” Xia Yiwan said somewhat embarrassedly, glancing at her still flat stomach, “Last time I told you about sleeping with a designated driver, you remember that, right?”

Ming Yao nodded, “I remember.”

“The designated driver was Yanxi, it’s just I was drunk and mistook him for a designated driver.”

Ming Yao, “Just because of that, you had a shotgun wedding?”

Xia Yiwan shook her head, her cheeks redder, “I got pregnant accidentally.”

Ming Yao was even more surprised.

“Really?”

Xia Yiwan nodded, “I’ve been checked at the hospital.”

Ming Yao took Xia Yiwan’s hand, “Should I take your pulse again for you?”

Xia Yiwan knew Ming Yao was good at medicine and nodded urgently, “Yes.”

Ming Yao pressed her fingers to Xia Yiwan’s pulse.

She took it once, and then again.

Seeing Ming Yao’s eyes become more and more serious, Xia Yiwan’s heart thumped wildly.

“Yaoyao, just tell me what it is.”

Ming Yao looked at Xia Yiwan with a complex expression.

Wanwan’s pulse was neither slow nor irregular, not fast nor rushed, it was a normal person’s pulse.

If she were pregnant, her radial artery should feel slippery, like a rolling pearl, full of blood and energy.

To make sure she was not mistaken, Ming Yao took her pulse again.

After confirming several times, Ming Yao spoke up, “Wanwan, which hospital did you have the checkup at?”

Xia Yiwan began to feel anxious, “Yaoyao, what’s the matter? Is the fetus not developing well?”

Ming Yao shook her head.

Xia Yiwan’s tense nerves relaxed a bit, and she was about to say something when she heard Ming Yao say, “You are not pregnant.”

“What???” Xia Yiwan exclaimed, jumping up from the side of the bed.

How could that be?

The ultrasound report clearly showed she was pregnant.

Lately, she had been experiencing nausea and vomiting.

City Hospital couldn’t have made a mistake, could they?

But Yaoyao’s medical skills were so good, she couldn’t have been wrong either!

What exactly was going on?

Xia Yiwan was getting confused.

“Which hospital did you go to?”

“City Hospital.”

“Take the report and let’s go to the hospital together!”

Xia Yiwan’s face turned pale as she nodded, “Okay.”

After getting the pregnancy test report from home, Xia Yiwan and Ming Yao drove to City Hospital.

Xia Yiwan’s mind was in turmoil. Although she didn’t want the child when she found out about the pregnancy that day–after all, she was young and not married–

but in the past few days, her state of mind had changed.

Thinking that she could live alone with a child in the future, she started to feel expectant.

But this expectation had barely lasted a few days before it was dashed!

Ming Yao saw Xia Yiwan’s pale face and freed one hand from the steering wheel to pat the back of her hand.

“Maybe it’s because I’ve been in a bad mood these days, I might have taken the pulse wrong,” Ming Yao said.

Xia Yiwan knew that was impossible.

There must have been a problem at the hospital.

“Yaoyao, let’s go to another hospital for a checkup first.”

Ming Yao nodded her head.

At another hospital, Xia Yiwan underwent a series of tests.

The results were the same as Ming Yao’s pulse-taking, she was not pregnant!

Xia Yiwan swayed unsteadily.

City Hospital was considered the best in Li City, how could such a big mistake happen?

She wasn’t pregnant, so why the rushed marriage with Young Master Yan?

Xia Yiwan was about to explode with anger.

“Yaoyao, I need to go to the hospital to find that doctor who did the ultrasound!”

Ming Yao accompanied Xia Yiwan to go together.

The hospital was busier in the morning.

Ming Yao and Xia Yiwan were waiting for the elevator.

When the elevator doors slid open, they stepped inside.

Just then, two tall figures approached.

Gu Siting and Lu Zhou.

Seeing Ming Yao, Lu Zhou seemed like he wanted to greet her, but as if thinking of something, he swallowed back the words that had reached his lips.

He simply nodded to Ming Yao.

Ming Yao also nodded to Lu Zhou, her gaze shifting to the tall figure standing by the elevator door.

He was dressed in a black knee-length overcoat, exuding a noble yet cold air, with an expression that was quite indifferent and a demeanor that kept others at a distance.

Ming Yao had always known that when he was stern, his aura was incredibly imposing.

Lu Zhou had seen her, so she thought he must have seen her too.

Yet, he did not even glance at her.

He perfectly epitomized what it was to be the most familiar stranger.

Standing among a group of people, he stood out like a crane amongst chickens, especially striking.

As soon as Gu Siting entered, the previously chattering voices inside the elevator instantly quieted down.

Xia Yiwan nudged Ming Yao with her elbow, whispering, “Yaoyao, Fourth Master.”

Ming Yao nodded to acknowledge she had seen him.

The elevator doors closed and it began to ascend.

Ming Yao lowered her eyes to her own toes, not looking forward again.

Gu Siting received a phone call, pressing the answer button.

In the confines of the small space, his deep and magnetic voice began to speak. Ming Yao, hearing his voice, felt a pang of pain in her chest.

She never knew that just a few days of not seeing him, and hearing his voice again, could make her feel the urge to cry.

Ming Yao suppressed the sorrow in her heart, trying not to let it show on her face, maintaining an appearance of normalcy.

In a corner, two young girls who had seen Gu Siting were visibly excited.

The elevator reached the third floor, and Ming Yao and Xia Yiwan stepped out first.

Just before the elevator doors shut, Ming Yao heard those two girls boldly ask Gu Siting for his contact information.

Ming Yao didn’t stop, pulling Xia Yiwan along as they moved forward.

Xia Yiwan had been feeling depressed and angry about not being pregnant, but seeing the current state between Ming Yao and Gu Siting, she felt sad for Ming Yao.

“Yaoyao, have things become irreconcilable between you and Fourth Master?”

Ming Yao nodded, “It seems so!”

Xia Yiwan sighed, “Why are we both so miserable? I’m not pregnant, yet I had a flash marriage with a stranger. What is all this about!”

Xia Yiwan reached the ultrasound room and found the doctor who had performed her ultrasound, taking out the report from the other hospital, “I want to ask, I’m not pregnant, so why was I diagnosed as pregnant at your hospital?”

The doctor didn’t seem too surprised to see Xia Yiwan.

“Miss Xia, it was your mother-in-law who asked us to do this.”

Xia Yiwan, “…”

What?

Mother Yan?

The elegant and dignified lady?

How could that be?

“Impossible! On the day I took the test, she wasn’t my mother-in-law yet, she didn’t even know me!”

In front of Xia Yiwan, the doctor made a phone call.

After the call, the doctor said to Xia Yiwan, “Please wait here, your mother-in-law will be here shortly.”

Xia Yiwan, “…” Could it really be related to Mother Yan?

Why would she do that?

Given Yanxi’s status, there must be plenty of women who wanted to marry him, right?

Even the esteemed ladies from the capital must have some who’d want to marry him!

Why would Mother Yan scheme against her?
