How ridiculous!
Xu Yanwan chuckled at herself as she put the small mirror away and prepared to leave the hospital.
However, just then, a familiar figure walked past in great haste.
Xu Yanwan took a glance, and her footsteps came to a halt.
The figure that hurried past her was none other than Yan, who came to the hospital for a checkup after having nightmares throughout the night.
Xu Yanwan was curious when she saw Yan here, looking as though she was in a hurry. Why would she be here at this hour? Why is she all alone?
Probably because Yan was her rival, so she paid extra attention to her. Hence, she quickly grabbed her purse and tailed after Yan quietly.
The moment she saw Yan heading toward the gynecology department, the curiosity in her grew stronger.
Yan wasn’t even married yet. Why would she go to the gynecology department in such a hurry? Could it be…
A thought flashed through Xu Yanwan’s mind. Her eyes widened in shock, and there she stood, frozen.
There could only be one reason why Yan visited the gynecologist even when she was still a bachelorette. She might be pregnant.
Xu Yanwan’s blood froze, and her face turned ghastly pale as she stared at Yan’s back. All the jealousy, anger, and resentment that were deeply buried in her heart were spreading rapidly like a huge fire at this very moment. It was as if the raging fire instantly gobbled up her emotions and senses.
How could this even happen?
She didn’t understand why the world was being so unfair to her.
Xu Yanwan stood there as she watched Yan while frantically screaming in her heart. If she had a mirror in hand, she would be able to see how vicious her facial features were now!
She had only left this city for a few years, so how did everything change so quickly? Anyhow, she was the one who met Han Qing first!
She had lost her parents and her family, and now, she even lost her beloved man. She no longer had a reason to live.
Why?
Xu Yanwan felt that she had lost control over her own body and heart. She walked toward Yan, with her body trembling with anger.
Now that Yan was pregnant, with their wedding well planned and prepared, she knew she no longer had a chance to get Han Qing back. How could this happen? She was so deeply in love with him, to the point where she even tried her best to improve herself and rejected all the adamant suitors.
She used to have tons of suitors, but none of them could be compared to Han Qing, so she rejected all of them. She strongly believed that if she was persistent enough, there would come a day where Han Qing could finally realize her feelings toward him.
But to her horror, everything had changed now.
He wasn’t cold-hearted; it was just that he didn’t choose to love her.
After Yan did a thorough checkup, she waited for the doctor’s reassurance before she finally felt better. However, she was still worried, so she sought reassurance again. “Doctor, I almost tripped and fell yesterday, then I had a nightmare last night, and my stomach even hurts a little now… Why is it so? Is there anything that I can do to prevent miscarriage?”
The doctor adjusted her glasses and reassured her, “Ms. Zhou, your baby is currently in perfect condition. The reason why you have nightmares and stomachaches might be caused by the tension that you’re feeling. I suggest that you keep yourself relaxed, read up on some parenting magazines, listen to soothing music, and don’t overthink.”
Yan nodded. “Thank you, doctor.”
In conclusion, everything was normal, so Yan collected her health report and left.
After Yan left, Xu Yanwan stepped out from the corner that she was hiding and stared in the direction Yan went, feeling extremely gloomy.
As she expected, Yan was pregnant. How can she be so fortunate?
When she looked at Yan, she realized that she was very unfortunate in comparison.
Whether it was family background or personal development, Xu Yanwan realized that Yan was definitely not as good as her. Xu Yanwan was talented. She was good at playing the piano, dancing, managing business, and she even spoke multiple languages. How would a talented woman like her lose to a woman who barely knew anything?
She really had no idea which part of her was no match to Yan.
The more she thought about it, the more jealous she felt. She had no idea how she left the hospital, but she knew that by the time she left, the sky was already dark, and it seemed as if it was going to rain soon.
Xu Yanwan took out her phone, trying to figure out who she could call to vent her feelings.
However, she couldn’t find anyone from her contacts who would be willing to listen to her rant.
She had already lost her parents, who loved her the most, and Han Qing wouldn’t even be bothered…
Xu Yanwan, why are you such a failure? You thought that you were living a delicate life, just like a princess, but in the end, what did you get?
You have nothing left, not even money. You had to depend on others to help you with your family issues, and you’re even relying on poverty alleviations. What position are you in to even try to snatch Han Qing from her?
Just then, the rumbling of thunder was heard.
It soon started to rain, and everyone on the street ran under the eaves to shelter from the rain; those with umbrellas, meanwhile, just continued their journey. Soon, Xu Yanwan was the only one left on the sidewalk, which was still filled with people a while ago as raindrops fell onto her head before sliding down to her face.
The thunder was loud, and the rain was so heavy that she could no longer keep her eyes open. There was a crowd everywhere, but where did she belong to?
She could no longer tell whether it was the rain or her tears that were streaming down her face, so she slowly dragged herself forward. She wasn’t sure how far she went until she suddenly felt an umbrella over her head.
Xu Yanwan was stunned and stood there, completely frozen.
Who would be the one trying to shelter her from the rain at a time like this?
She lifted her head in a daze, and her eyes met the gaze of someone who seemed to be very worried about her.
“This rain would only get heavier. Stop walking and let me send you home.”
Xu Yanwan recognized him. He was the suitor that had pursued her for many years. However, shouldn’t he be overseas at the moment? Why did he return? How did he know I would be here?
Thinking about it, Xu Yanwan’s eyes widened. “You were trailing behind my back?”
With that, she pushed him away and knocked the umbrella off his hands. “Get away from me, stalker!”
As soon as the man was pushed away, he immediately went forward and picked up the umbrella, then placed it over her head as he grabbed her hands. “Stop fooling around. With your current health condition, it will only get worse if you continue to stay under this heavy rain!”
“It’s none of your business!” she yelled. “I don’t need you to take care of my issues. Don’t think that if you come and help me at a time like this, I would fall for you. He Lianjing, don’t try to act all affectionate in front of me. Is this one of your roleplays? Do you think I don’t know how many women you’ve had before? You have no respect for women. I would never fall for a man like you who changes his girlfriends as if he was just changing clothes!”
Upon hearing her words, He Lianjing chuckled and tightened his grip on her hand. Raising his eyebrows, he said, “So, you fell in love with the man who wouldn’t even look you in the eye?”
Xu Yanwan’s face turned pale. Biting her lip, she looked at him. “Shut up.”
