Chapter 490: Chapter 490: A forced melon is not sweet, but it quenches thirst
Faced with Mo Shaolin’s sincere question, Li Yehan refused without thinking: “No.”
“Ye Han, are we still good friends?”
“Mo Shaolin, I’m still saying the same thing, you need to see Huo Siyu’s attitude. Forced fruit isn’t sweet.”
“Not sweet, but quenches thirst!”
Li Yehan: “…”
“I’m afraid it won’t quench your thirst.” Li Yehan said confidently.
…
At this time, Nan Qiao and Huo Siyu arrived at another restaurant, and the two sat in a corner.
Huo Siyu said, “Qiaoqiao, thank you for helping me out.”
Huo Siyu drank a glass of water, but her mood was still unsettled.
“Mo Shaolin is like a dog skin plaster, can’t shake him off. I suspect he put a bug in my house to know my daily schedule.”
“Mo Shaolin saw through Li Xia’s true nature and regretted it.” Nan Qiao said.
“I don’t care if he regrets it, it has nothing to do with me.” Huo Siyu took another half glass of water.
Nan Qiao whispered, “Siyu, I need your help with something.”
“What is it?”
Nan Qiao beckoned with her finger, and Huo Siyu leaned in to hear her plan.
“Okay, I’ll leave now and go do it.”
“Tomorrow is better. I’ll give you something for protection. Whatever you do, safety first.”
“Qiaoqiao, I’ll be careful, don’t worry.”
…
Nan Qiao parted ways with Huo Siyu, and Li Yehan drove over to pick her up.
“Qiaoqiao, come with me to a place.”
Li Yehan held Nan Qiao’s hand and drove her away.
Nan Qiao realized Li Yehan took her to his home.
Small bridges and flowing water, a serene environment.
“Li Yehan, why did you bring me to your house?”
Li Yehan picked her up: “To do something important, of course.”
Nan Qiao: “…”
Nan Qiao felt a bit shy, and her mind conjured up some suggestive scenes o(*////▽////*)q.
Li Yehan carried Nan Qiao all the way to his room.
Li Yehan gently set Nan Qiao down.
Nan Qiao shyly whispered, “Li Yehan, I can’t be with you just yet…”
Just as Nan Qiao was speaking, something was placed in her hand.
Nan Qiao looked down and saw—it was a pregnancy test stick!
“Li Yehan, you…”
“Qiaoqiao, I’ve checked. You might vomit and feel nauseous; you might be pregnant. Qiaoqiao, take a test.”
Nan Qiao: “…”
“Qiaoqiao, I know the chance of you being pregnant is small, but there’s no hundred percent foolproof contraception. Please, take a test, okay?”
Nan Qiao knew she couldn’t hide it.
She couldn’t believe Li Yehan bought a pregnancy test stick—what a sight.
“Li Yehan, why don’t you believe it’s just a stomach issue or an illness?” Nan Qiao didn’t get up, staying seated.
“I still think you might be pregnant.” Li Yehan said seriously.
Nan Qiao looked at the pregnancy test stick and thought about her body, eventually confessing the truth.
“Li Yehan, you’re right, I am indeed pregnant.”
Li Yehan’s expression shifted from shock to surprise to disbelief and then joy.
“Am I going to be a dad!?” Li Yehan paced back and forth.
Beneath Li Yehan’s excited emotions was Nan Qiao’s cold water.
“Li Yehan, I haven’t decided if I want this child yet. That’s why I didn’t tell you.”
Li Yehan turned around, his exceptionally handsome eyes flashed with confusion and bewilderment.
“Qiaoqiao, you don’t plan on having the child?”
Nan Qiao explained, “Li Yehan, I’m not ready to be a mom.”
Li Yehan sat down and sighed helplessly.
“Qiaoqiao, although I really want the child, I also respect your thoughts. If you don’t want the child, then we won’t have it.”
In the silent room, the two exchanged glances, and Nan Qiao could clearly see Li Yehan’s reluctance and conflict.
“I should go home.” Nan Qiao stood up.
Li Yehan grabbed her hand and lifted her up.
“Li Yehan, put me down; I do need to go home.”
“Qiaoqiao, walking is too tiring. I’ll carry you to the car and take you home.”
Nan Qiao: “…”
“Li Yehan, you’re being overly dramatic. I’m just pregnant, not incapacitated.” Nan Qiao smiled wryly, Li Yehan was too nervous.
Li Yehan’s cold face gradually softened.
With his scarlet lips slightly parted, he said softly, “Qiaoqiao, safety first, I just want you to be okay.”
Li Yehan carried Nan Qiao outside, and Nan Qiao clung to Li Yehan’s neck as she stared at the determined man, feeling a little lost.
…
When Li Yehan carried Nan Qiao into the living room, the whole family was shocked and rushed over, asking questions.
“Qiaoqiao sweetheart, what’s wrong? Are you hurt?” Chen Xinwan was alarmed.
Bai Zhenyang instinctively grabbed his phone to call an ambulance: “Dear, I’ll call for an ambulance right now.”
“Mom and Dad, I’m fine; Li Yehan is making a big fuss.” Nan Qiao couldn’t find excuses that fit the situation.
“Uncle, Auntie, Qiaoqiao is fine. I just thought walking was too tiring, so I carried her in,” Li Yehan explained.
The hearts of Chen Xinwan and Bai Zhenyang, which were raised in concern, gradually calmed down.
Bai Zhenyang: “You kid, are you trying to scare me to death?”
“I was almost scared to death too.” Chen Xinwan patted her chest, thoroughly frightened.
Li Yehan gently looked at Nan Qiao, sat next to her, seemingly unwilling to leave.
“Uncle, Auntie, Qiaoqiao’s stomach isn’t feeling well; her diet should be light.”
Nan Qiao: “!!”
“I just ate too much and have a stomachache,” Nan Qiao hurriedly explained, unready to tell her family, feeling panicked.
Seeing her fear, Li Yehan wanted to laugh.
Was she really that scared?
Neither Chen Xinwan nor Bai Zhenyang considered pregnancy.
Chen Xinwan kindly said, “Tomorrow, we’ll have them prepare light and tasty food. Qiaoqiao sweetheart, you must be too busy to eat on time, causing your stomachache.”
Bai Zhenyang: “From now on, we’ll have the maid deliver your meals; outside food is never as clean and tasty as home-cooked meals.”
Bai Zhenyang and Chen Xinwan discussed what to make for Nan Qiao tomorrow, considering non-spicy food.
Seeing the family so concerned about Nan Qiao, Li Yehan felt relieved.
Li Yehan stood up and politely said, “Uncle, Auntie, I’ll go now.”
Li Yehan greeted them and left.
Nan Qiao watched his departing silhouette and felt Li Yehan was angry.
Nan Qiao was also conflicted about what to do.
…
Nan Qiao sat alone on the outside balcony, in the cold winter, as drizzle fell outside; it should snow tomorrow.
At this moment, Nan Qiao received a call from Li Yehan.
The assertive, serious words of Li Yehan came through the phone: “Qiaoqiao, I understand your concerns. Rest assured, I will clear all obstacles.”
Nan Qiao stood up with the phone in hand and anxiously asked, “Li Yehan, what are you planning to do?”
