Chapter 1122: Serves You Right, White Lotus

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In Beijing Hospital, Shen Xiu was wearing a white coat. After carefully checking Zou Man’s condition, he walked to Jiang Kui and said, “Your wife is just a little angry. She’ll be fine after a rest. Don’t agitate her.”

Zou Man, who had just taken the medicine, still felt a faint pain in her stomach. She looked at Shen Xiu distrustfully. “Hubby, it still hurts very much. Get another expert for me. I don’t want this.”

This Doctor Shen was so young, how could he treat a good illness? Could it be that Jiang Kui was even perfunctory when he found a doctor for me? He found such a half-baked young man to deal with me.

Hearing Zou Man’s words, Jiang Kui frowned and scolded, “What nonsense are you talking about! Take good care of your baby!”

Although Shen Xiu was young, he was an internationally famous “top knife”. His medical skills could be said to be top-notch in Beijing Hospital.

Although doctors had no power or influence, which one of those with powers did not have a serious illness? Even he did not dare to provoke Shen Xiu casually, yet Zou Man actually mocked Shen Xiu like this.

Jiang Kui looked at Shen Xiu. “I’m sorry, Doctor Shen. Please forgive me.”

“CEO Jiang, you’re too kind. It’s our duty as doctors to treat and save people.” Shen Xiu’s smile did not change.

Zou Man rolled her eyes and touched her stomach. “Hubby, I want to drink water.”

Jiang Kui was impatient, but he could not flare up in front of outsiders. He endured his anger and poured water for Zou Man. Taking this opportunity, Shen Xiu left the ward.

Just as she walked out, the nurse came over with a report in her hand. “Doctor Shen, the results of CEO Jiang and that child’s appraisal are out.”

Shen Xiu took the report and flipped through it. When he saw the data on the evaluation report, a dark glint flashed across his eyes.

In just a second, Shen Xiu handed the appraisal report back with his usual elegant smile. “Coincidentally, CEO Jiang is inside. Send the appraisal report in.”

“Okay.” The nurse nodded and walked in with the report.

In the ward, Zou Man relied on the fact that she was pregnant and instructed Jiang Kui to pour water for her and peel the fruit. Just as she was feeling smug, a nurse suddenly walked in.

Seeing the document in her hand, Zou Man subconsciously panicked. “What are you holding? Show me.”

The nurse looked at Jiang Kui in embarrassment. According to the usual practice, the paternity test could only be shown to the person involved.

Jiang Kui stood up and was about to take the report when Zou Man was faster than him. She walked out of bed in two to three steps, snatched the report, and opened it anxiously. Zou Man felt her palm turn cold.

It displayed, “The accuracy of the paternity test has reached 99.99%.”

That child was definitely Jiang Kui’s child.

]”Why are you snatching it?” Jiang Kui frowned and stepped forward to look at the report. Zou Man turned around unexpectedly and threw the report at Jiang Kui’s face, causing him to gasp.

“Zou Man, are you crazy?! Aren’t I giving you too much face?!” Jiang Kui was the young master of the Jiang family, born with a silver spoon in his mouth. When had he ever been treated like this? He was immediately furious. He shook off the report on his face and slapped Zou Man to the side.

The nurse was shocked and hurriedly went forward to support Zou Man.

“Then explain to me, what’s with this child?” Zou Man did not care about the burning pain on her face. Her heart was burning with anger. She had always thought that Jiang Kui did not like beauty. Who would have thought that he would suddenly give her such a heavy blow and directly have an illegitimate child?

“So what if he’s my child?” Jiang Kui was completely furious. He touched the wound that Zou Man had smashed. “Don’t forget how you got the position of the wife of the Jiang family. Do you really think you’re something? You’re used to being domineering and don’t know your surname, right? You’re on your own!”

With that, Jiang Kui strode out of the ward without even looking at Zou Man. He was completely cold and heartless.

The nurse, who had been forced to listen to an entire rich family’s secret, trembled. Looking at Zou Man, who looked extremely glorious but was actually in a sorry state, the nurse felt that she was a little pitiful. “Madam Jiang, why don’t I help you to the bed to rest for a while?”

However, Zou Man did not appreciate it. At this moment, the “Madam Jiang” that the nurse mentioned made her feel extremely ear-piercing. It was as if she was mocking her, mocking her for giving up everything for the title of Madam Jiang. In the end, it was all for nothing.

Zou Man pulled her arm out of the nurse’s hand with a cold expression. “Get out.”

“…” The young nurse, who had been sympathizing with Zou Man just now, secretly spat in her heart. She pursed her lips and walked out of the ward.

The pitiful must have something to hate. The ancients did not lie to me.

Zou Man held her stomach as tears welled up in her eyes. She had followed Jiang Kui for so many years, it was impossible to say that she had no feelings.

Although she and Jiang Kui had been arguing recently, she knew in her heart that she still relied on Jiang Kui.

However, the appearance of this third party and illegitimate son made Zou Man inexplicably feel that everything she had done in the past was a joke. To think that she thought that Jiang Kui was a rare second-generation heir of a wealthy family who did not like women. She did not expect him to be the same as the others.

Then what am I??

Zou Man was crying silently when the sound of high heels hitting the ground suddenly came from the door. Zou Man looked up and saw that it was the person she did not want to see the most.

Liu Tanyu.

Zou Man did not want her to see her like this. She forced her tears back, stood up, and walked to the bed to sit down. “Get out.”

Liu Tanyu spoke with the gentleness of a Jiangnan woman. Every word was like a soft hook. “Sister, I’m here to see how your body is. My culinary skills are not bad. If you want to eat anything, I can bring it to you.”

“Who wants what you made?” Zou Man looked at Liu Tanyu coldly. “Who are you pretending to be virtuous and gentle for? Who’s your sister? Are you shameless as a mistress?”

Liu Tanyu’s expression did not change and she still had a gentle smile on her face. Zou Man was furious. “Sister, you must be joking. If you don’t like me calling you Sister, why don’t I call you younger sister?”

“Shut up!” Zou Man wanted to tear Liu Tanyu’s face apart. “Get lost, get lost with your bastard.”

Hearing Zou Man insult her child, Liu Tanyu’s eyes revealed a hint of sharpness, but the smile on her face remained. “I’m sorry, Sister. Father likes our Xiao Yu very much. Xiao Yu has already lived in the Jiang family. He can’t leave me. I have to rush back and take care of him. See you tomorrow.”

With that, Liu Tanyu stood up and prepared to leave. Her slender waist looked even more like a willow under the cheongsam.

Zou Man took a while to understand who Liu Tanyu was referring to. Her expression changed drastically. “Stop right there! What do you mean?! Who’s your father?”

Liu Tanyu stopped and turned around slightly. The light slid across her tall nose. “Xiao Yu calls Jiang Kui Daddy, so I naturally have to call the elders like Jiang Kui.”

Liu Tan spoke slowly and softly, but every word she said hit Zou Man’s heart. Zou Man felt dizzy.

After Liu Tanyu finished speaking, she walked straight forward and left the ward. Zou Man felt an overwhelming anger in her heart, but she could not vent it.

In the end, she reached out and pushed the pile of medicine bottles on the cabinet to the ground. The glass bottles exploded on the ground, sounding especially ear-piercing in the quiet night.

In front of the ward, Shen Xiu had his hands in his pockets as he quietly looked at everything inside, but he had no intention of entering. After a while, he took out his phone and made a call.

In the ward, Zou Man ignored the cold on the ground and sat for a long time with her hair disheveled. No one knew what she was thinking. When the moon was high in the sky, Zou Man finally looked up with a determined expression.

——

It was already very late at night. When Jun Shiling returned to the manor, it was almost midnight. The servants had already gone to rest, and only the lights in the living room were still on in the main building.

Jun Shiling got out of the car and strode in.

There was no one in the living room, but there was a fire in the fireplace. The air was filled with a rich fragrance that chased away the winter cold.

Jun Shiling took off his suit jacket and walked in.

In the kitchen, Xia Wanyuan was busy at the stove. She was wearing a light-colored apron, and her hair was tied behind her head. A few strands fell on her temples, adding a hint of poetic gentleness. Her exquisite facial features looked even more refined under the light.

The bone soup gurgled. Xia Wanyuan picked up the spoon and tasted it. It seemed a little bland.

She reached for the salt jar and was caught off guard by someone hugging her from behind. She was subconsciously on guard, but her body’s natural reaction had already relaxed.

The cold pine fragrance lingered at the tip of her nose. A kiss landed by her ear, burning Xia Wanyuan’s heart. “You’re back?”

“Mm.” Jun Shiling tightened his grip on Xia Wanyuan’s waist and pecked her neck.

Xia Wanyuan felt a little itchy and shrank forward. “Stop fooling around. The soup seems a little bland. I’ll add some salt.”

Jun Shiling did not stop. He even hugged Xia Wanyuan’s waist and made her turn around. Their foreheads touched, and Jun Shiling’s eyes shone with a scorching light. “Let me try it.”

With that, Jun Shiling’s lips covered hers.

After a while, Xia Wanyuan took advantage of the gap. “Stop fooling around. The soup is about to dry up.”

Jun Shiling leaned on Xia Wanyuan’s shoulder and reached out to turn off the fire, then picked her up. “I don’t want to drink soup. I just want to eat something else now.”

Xia Wanyuan blew at him angrily. “Aren’t you tired? You worked overtime for so long and still have the heart to think about this.”

Jun Shiling strode upstairs. “Help me undo my tie.”

Xia Wanyuan would never know how attractive she was when she was gentle.

When he returned home on a cold winter night, there was someone warming soup for him. No one could resist this calm happiness after experiencing a thousand sails.

One glance at Xia Wanyuan’s side profile was enough to make Jun Shiling’s heart surge.

Although Xia Wanyuan was helpless, she could sense Jun Shiling’s excitement. She nestled in Jun Shiling’s arms and allowed him to hug her. She placed her hands on Jun Shiling’s tie and slowly untied it.

Jun Shiling walked too quickly and had already entered the bedroom. Jun Shiling’s tie had not even been removed when he placed Xia Wanyuan under the blanket. He reached out and pulled the tie off.

Then, he tied Xia Wanyuan’s hands.

“Jun Shiling!” Xia Wanyuan really could not stand his strange new tricks.

“Mm, I’m here.” Jun Shiling’s voice was abnormally low. He pulled Xia Wanyuan’s hand and placed it on his waist. “You’re not allowed to cook for me next time.”

“?? Don’t you like it very much?” Xia Wanyuan’s eyes were filled with confusion.

Every time she cooked for Jun Shiling, he liked to eat it very much, the kind where not a single drop was left.

Jun Shiling kissed the corner of her eye. “Cooking for me is seducing me.”

“???” Xia Wanyuan had never been a violent person, but at this moment, she really wanted to beat Jun Shiling up. “You’re just looking for an excuse.”

Jun Shiling chuckled. “I really didn’t this time.”

Xia Wanyuan wanted to say something, but her words shattered.

In the end, Jun Shiling did not drink much of the soup in the kitchen. Instead, it all entered Xia Wanyuan’s stomach.

“Drink more to replenish your strength.” Jun Shiling, who had eaten and drunk his fill in a certain aspect, was beaming as he patiently helped Xia Wanyuan drink the soup.

Xia Wanyuan was too tired to argue with him.?Forget it, whatever he said was right.

After drinking the soup, Xia Wanyuan leaned lazily on Jun Shiling. Jun Shiling reached out and touched her stomach. “Your period has been delayed for a day this month. Is my daughter here?”

“…” Xia Wanyuan was a little helpless. “It’s just a day. It’s normal for your period to be staggered for a week. What are you thinking?”

Jun Shiling slowly stroked her as if Xia Wanyuan really had a little love crystal that belonged to them in her stomach. “I want to have a daughter.”

“Give birth yourself.” Xia Wanyuan was extremely tired.

Jun Shiling looked down at Xia Wanyuan. “No, I just want you to give birth.”

He wanted a daughter that belonged to the two of them from Xia Wanyuan’s body, preferably one that looked very similar to her.

She must be cute and beautiful. Even if it was the stars in the sky, I would help her pluck them.?

“…” Xia Wanyuan narrowed her eyes. “With a daughter, your love for me will be distributed away.”

Xia Wanyuan’s words stunned Jun Shiling. He seemed to think very carefully before replying, “No, if you’re worried, then we don’t want a daughter anymore. You’re the most important.”

With that, Jun Shiling added as if to emphasize, “No one is more important than you.”

The corners of Xia Wanyuan’s lips curled up. “I was joking with you.”

After all, from the first day she met Jun Shiling, she had never doubted his feelings for her.

——

Zou Man stayed in the hospital alone for the entire night. When the sky lit up, she got someone to send her back to the Jiang family’s villa.

The usually quiet villa was very lively today. Before she entered, she heard the laughter of a child in the courtyard.

Zou Man clenched her fists. However, the scene when she entered still pierced her.

In the courtyard, Jiang Kui and Jiang Ting were playing with the child. Liu Tanyu stood at the side. The four of them were chatting and laughing, looking abnormally harmonious.

They were like a real family.
