Chinese medicine emphasized on observing, hearing, and asking questions.

Ever since Pei Jiao came, the old Chinese medicine doctor had observed Pei Jiao’s every move and facial expression. When Pei Jiao and Qin Zhuoning were talking, the old Chinese medicine doctor listened quietly. Then, the old Chinese medicine doctor sat down. When he was tidying up the pulse pillow, he asked Pei Jiao a few questions about her current sleeping state and working state. Pei Jiao answered them one by one, and finally, she took her pulse.

Pei Jiao’s expression was calm. The most she could think of was a deficiency in qi, uterus, and insufficient qi and blood. If it was more serious, she would go straight to the hospital. If it was not serious, she would prescribe medicine to recuperate. It was a very simple matter.

Qin Zhuoning, who was standing beside her, had a worried expression on his face. He was even more nervous than Pei Jiao, especially the old Chinese doctor. He frowned as if he had encountered a difficult illness.

“Dr. Zhong…”

Qin Zhuoning desperately wanted to ask something, but just as he opened his mouth, he was stopped by the old Chinese doctor. “Be quiet.”

Qin Zhuoning could only take back what he wanted to ask and stand quietly at the side, not disturbing him anymore. Half a minute later, the old Chinese doctor retracted his hand. His grave brows had relaxed. He looked up at Qin Zhuoning, then at Pei Jiao and asked, “Are you a couple?”

“No.” Pei Jiao answered no on the surface, but she was thinking, Why didn’t he say the result and ask this question?

The old Chinese doctor pointed at Qin Zhuoning and asked Pei Jiao, “Is he chasing you?”

Pei Jiao still shook her head. She was about to explain her relationship with Qin Zhuoning, but Qin Zhuoning answered the old Chinese doctor before she could. “Yes, I’m chasing her. Although I’m not her boyfriend now, I’ll be soon.” Pei Jiao was slightly stunned. She turned to look at Qin Zhuoning. “No, we…” “You’re pregnant,” the old Chinese doctor said to Pei Jiao.

Pei Jiao wanted to explain to the old Chinese doctor that Qin Zhuoning was joking, but when she suddenly heard the old Chinese doctor say, “You’re pregnant,” her heart froze and her face was filled with disbelief.

She seemed to think she’d heard wrong. “I’m… pregnant?”

The old Chinese doctor nodded, his expression serious. “You’re pregnant. This is a preliminary diagnosis, but with my decades of experience, the chances of a misdiagnosis are minimal. Also, your fetal qi is unstable and there are signs of a precursor miscarriage. To be safe, I suggest you go to a proper hospital.”

Qin Zhuoning slowly clenched his fists at his sides. He did not say a word and did not try to interrupt the conversation between the old Chinese doctor and Pei Jiao.

Pei Jiao still did not want to believe the fact that she was pregnant. However, Wen Ye was a psychiatrist himself. After being introduced by his connections, the probability of such qualifications being misdiagnosed was indeed very small.

She took the medicine. How could she be pregnant?

“I…” Pei Jiao’s face was even paler than when she came. “l took medicine at that time, but why am I still pregnant?”

This was not a shameful question. The old Chinese doctor answered Pei Jiao seriously.

After hearing the old Chinese doctor’s words, Pei Jiao finally understood what the problem was. This was the first time, so she didn’t understand and didn’t have any experience. Before she could take the 24-hour emergency contraceptive pill she had bought, she was flustered by Wei Yu when he chased her to the hotel and fled in a hurry. In the end, it was already more than 24 hours before she took the pill.

At this moment, the effect of the medicine had already been reduced. She thought that she would be fine after taking the medicine, so she did not take it again for seven days.

When she walked out of the Chinese Medical Hall, Pei Jiao was still in a daze. She almost missed her step when she went down the steps because she wasn’t paying attention. Fortunately, Qin Zhuoning, who had been following beside her, helped her up in time. “Be careful.”

Pei Jiao turned to look at Qin Zhuoning, who was supporting her, and said self-deprecatingly, “I’m so cheap.”

“Don’t say that about yourself.” Qin Zhuoning calmed her down. ‘You’re not wrong. This was an accident.”

Pei Jiao shook her head, looking a little dazed. “l wouldn’t have cthis far.” She was still too impulsive that night!

What did she mean by disregarding the consequences? What did she mean by not caring about losing anything? In the end, it all beca sin. It was indeed as the saying went—no one is unjust. Everyone who has feelings is a sin.

“Brother Zhuoning, please taketo the hospital first.” She had to get rid of this thing in her stomach.

She was not married yet. There was no way she would have a child out of wedlock. If word got out, the Pei family would be completely embarrassed by her.

Qin Zhuoning knew what decision she had made. He would not persuade her, nor would he support her. He just reminded her from his position, “Aren’t you going to tell him?”

Pei Jiao waved away Qin Zhuonings hand and walked down the steps with a cold expression. “Why should I tell him? It’s best not to let him know anything about me.’

Seeing Pei Jiao’s determined attitude, Qin Zhuoning did not say anything else.

Soon after the two of them left. Wen Qiong appeared in the Chinese Medical Hall. Wen Ye, who was beside Wen Qiong, tried to persuade his sister. “Sister, I think it’s really not good for you to pry into other people’s privacy in private.” Wen Qiong stuffed the bag into Wen Ye’s hand. “Shut up and leavealone.” Wen Ye:

He did not mean to let his sister know, but when he introduced Pei Jiao to the old Chinese doctor through Qin Zhuoning, his sister happened to be beside him and heard his conversation with Qin Zhuoning clearly.

“Old Zhong!” Wen Qiong lifted her skirt and sat down opposite the old Chinese doctor.

The old Chinese doctor looked up at Wen Qiong and said indifferently, “What wind blew Mrs. Lin here? You should have toldin advance before coming so that I could shower and burn incense in advance to welcMrs. Lin.’ Wen Qiong said, “Stop teasing me. I’m here to ask you something.”

The old Chinese doctor’s expression turned a little more serious. “Where are you feeling unwell?”

Wen Qiong said, “It’s not me. It’s the girl who cto take your pulse just now. What’s wrong with her?”

The old Chinese doctor shook his head. “One of the medical ethics. You can’t casually reveal the patient’s condition to others.”

Wen Qiong knew this old man’s character, so she could only torture him. A few minutes later, Wen Qiong cout of the Chinese Medical Hall with a serious expression.New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on novelenglish(.)nᴇt

Wen Ye caught up to her and asked, “Sister, are you going to look for Jiaojiao now, or go to the Wei family to tell Matriarch Wei?”

“I’m afraid 1 won’t be able to make it alone.” Wen Qiong said to Wen Ye, “Xiao Ye, why don’t you make a trip to the Wei family for me? I’ll go find Pei Jiao.

We’ll split up.”

Wen Ye was present just now and naturally knew about Pei Jiao’s situation. She was pregnant, so it should be Wei Yu t s. Anyway, that was what his sister thought so far.

However, Wen Ye had his own principles. “It’s up to Jiaojiao whether she wants this child or not. Sister, you shouldn’t kidnap her with your morals.

Besides, she’s unmarried and doesn’t like Wei Yu. Only a fool would choose to

give birth under such circumstances.”

Wen Qiong frowned. “I’m worried that something has already happened to Wei Yu. It’s been more than a month, but Matriarch Wei is still hiding it. She only told her that Wei Yu has returned to the base. I’m not trying to use morality to kidnap Pei Jiao, but Wei Yu has yet to return…”

Wen Ye said bluntly, “In the end, don’t you still want to use morality to kidnap her and restrain her? I think the best way to deal with it is to pretend that you didn’t ctoday and pretend that you don’t know anything. Pei Jiao can make her own decisions.’

Wen Qiong fell silent..
