Chang Qingchuan said "Oh" and was about to hang up. "If President Qin has no further instructions, I'll hang up now."
"Wait, is Gu Susu at the company? What is she doing? Have her keep a close eye on Yi Mei's factory."
Chang Qingchuan found it strange that Qin Tianyi didn't know Susu had gone to the hospital today. Weren't they a couple? Did they not communicate anything at home?
"She's not in the company this afternoon. She asked for leave, saying she felt unwell and went to the hospital."
"Hospital?" Qin Tianyi's cold, calm voice changed slightly.
"That's what she told me when she asked for leave. She didn't say anything else, and I didn't ask."
Before Chang Qingchuan could hang up, Qin Tianyi had already put down the receiver.
This woman actually asked for leave to go to the hospital? He had seen her last night, and she didn't seem sick. Could it be that he had been too rough in his anger last night and injured her somewhere?
Qin Tianyi's mind flashed back to her crying, wondering if she had cried yesterday because he had accidentally hurt her?
He couldn't sit still, wishing he could immediately find out which hospital Gu Susu was at!
He picked up his phone and dialed Xiao Mei.
Xiao Mei was in the kitchen, listening to music while chopping vegetables. She suddenly received his call and, in a fluster, first turned off the music. "Young Master... Young Master, hello."
Qin Tianyi asked urgently, "Did Gu Susu feel unwell when she left today?"
"No... no, Miss Gu was fine. She even smiled and said goodbye when she left."
"Do you know which hospital she went to today?"
"No, Miss Gu didn't tell me... about going to the hospital." Xiao Mei spoke nervously, her words becoming stammered. She didn't understand why Qin Tianyi was asking such strange questions.
Hearing Qin Tianyi fall silent, she quickly asked, "Young Master, is Miss Gu feeling unwell..."
But before she could finish, Qin Tianyi said coldly, "If you don't know anything, what's the use of keeping you by their side."
Xiao Mei was terrified. Before she could explain, Qin Tianyi hung up.
Qin Tianyi directly called Gu Susu, but her phone rang for a long time without anyone answering. He was so angry he wanted to smash his phone.
Gu Susu had checked her bag and phone outside the examination room. After the examination, she showed the results to the doctor.
A middle-aged female doctor sat in the consultation room. After looking at her examination results, she said, "It's been about thirty days, early pregnancy. All indicators are normal. Do you want to keep it or prepare to have an abortion?"
Gu Susu bit her lip and said, "I want to have an abortion."
"Is that so? It's a bit early to have the surgery now. Why not wait until forty days before coming back for the operation," the doctor suggested.
Gu Susu felt a lot more relaxed when she heard she didn't have to have the surgery today. "Okay, I'll wait until forty days then."
"I can help you prepare the surgery order, and you can pay and make an appointment. Surgery requires scheduling; it's not like you can have it done as soon as you arrive," the doctor said, already writing the order for her.
Gu Susu said decisively, "Okay, that's fine."
She took the order form from the doctor, paid the fee, and made an appointment for the surgery. As she put the receipt in her bag, she glanced at her phone.
She then noticed Qin Tianyi's missed call. She quickly found a quiet corner in the hospital, wondering how to call him back.
She stared at Qin Tianyi's number on her phone for a while, trying hard to compose herself. Before dialing, she took a deep breath.
Qin Tianyi was in a meeting when his phone vibrated, and he saw it was Gu Susu calling.
With a single gesture, he terminated the meeting and walked out of the conference room, leaving the company's senior executives in an uproar.
Xiao Anjing smoothed things over for him, saying, "President Qin sees that everyone is tired and is giving everyone a ten-minute tea break."
The executives, who had been very tense with their work plans, all breathed a sigh of relief, not expecting President Qin to be so considerate.
Qin Tianyi returned to his office, swiped the answer button on his phone, and asked her directly, "Where are you?"
When he had been anxious earlier, he had many questions for her: which hospital, what was wrong with her body... But as soon as he picked up his phone, he habitually used the most indifferent and simplest way of asking.
Gu Susu knew that since he was looking for her so suddenly, he must already know she was at the hospital. No one knew she was at the hospital except Chang Qingchuan, so it was likely that Chang Qingchuan had mentioned it to him while reporting work.
She couldn't lie and calmly replied, "At the hospital."
Qin Tianyi questioned, "Why did you ask for leave to go to the hospital for no reason?"
"Lately, I've been feeling weak and lacking energy, so I wanted to see a Chinese medicine doctor for a pulse diagnosis and conditioning." Gu Susu said calmly.
"What did the Chinese medicine doctor say?"
Gu Susu casually made up a story, "I have a deficiency of both qi and blood. She prescribed some Chinese herbal medicine to replenish qi and blood."
"Are you done? Why didn't you answer the phone just now?"
Gu Susu felt like a prisoner being interrogated. She replied, "Yes, I'm done. I'm going back after picking up the medicine. My phone was on silent in the consultation room earlier."
"Okay, I understand." Qin Tianyi hung up. Regardless of whether what she said was true or not, he would know when he saw the medicine she brought back later.
Gu Susu held her phone in her hand, her heart growing cold. After Qin Tianyi knew she was at the hospital, he wasn't concerned about her health but only about her whereabouts. Was she running away with someone else, or was he afraid she would use visiting the doctor as an excuse to date another man?
In his eyes, she was truly like a pet he kept, who had to belong to him completely and couldn't leave his sight. Such a life, like that of a prisoner, was truly terrifying.
She put her phone in her bag and cursed softly, "He's sick." Then she immediately rushed to the outpatient hall to register for the Chinese medicine department. She still had to see a Chinese medicine doctor quickly and have the doctor prescribe some medicine to replenish qi and blood, otherwise Qin Tianyi wouldn't believe her.
She thought that if Qin Tianyi found out she was pregnant, he would definitely force her to have the child, and then she would be his prisoner for life, unable to escape!
Gu Susu returned to the apartment with several bags of tied-up Chinese herbal medicine. As soon as Xiao Mei saw her return with the medicine in her hands, she quickly took it and asked, "Miss Gu, did you really go to the hospital today? What exactly is wrong?"
As she changed her shoes, she asked Xiao Mei curiously, "How did you know I went to the hospital today?"
"Young Master, he called me a few hours ago, but I didn't know anything. He said... he said he was going to fire me..." Xiao Mei's eyes reddened as she spoke, her voice choked with sobs. Ever since receiving Qin Tianyi's call, she had been worried and scared.
This Qin Tianyi is something else, becoming more and more audacious, even scaring a little girl like this.
She quickly comforted Xiao Mei, "Don't be afraid, it's okay. He won't fire you. I'm here. Even if I can't help you, Xiao Xing won't let you leave, right? He'll do as Xiao Xing wishes."
