Chapter 158: Extra: Endless Jealousy
Qi Meili had been feeling strangely listless lately. In all her life, she had never felt this drained. Her arms and legs felt soft and weak, as if her entire body had turned to rubber.
She was a little frightened. “I don’t have some terminal illness, do I?”
The thought made her feel even weaker. “Huanhuan! I must have a terminal illness! Sob, sob, sob... I knew happiness was never meant for me!”
That was how it always happened on TV. Someone who had been unhappy since childhood would finally find happiness, only for something terrible to happen to them!
She had even married Liang Zheng. Of course she was going to die!
She didn’t want to die!
“Huanhuan! I don’t want to die! I still want to be your best friend forever! Waaah!”
Overcome with emotion, she burst into loud sobs, leaving He Huanhuan in a panic. Huanhuan hurriedly took her by the hand and comforted her. “Meili, don’t be scared. I’ll take you to the hospital. You’ll be fine. I’m sure you’ll be fine...”
If she was sick, they would treat her. They had money now, and Huanhuan would take her anywhere in the world for treatment if necessary.
After they arrived at the hospital and Meili underwent a battery of tests, she was completely stunned.
“I-I’m pregnant? How is that possible?”
He Huanhuan jumped up excitedly. “Holy crap! Qi Meili, you’ve created a human life! You’re amazing!”
Doctor: ...Why did that sound like anything but a compliment?
After reminding them of the precautions they needed to take, the doctor called for the next patient.
The two women supported each other as they walked into the lobby. Qi Meili rubbed her belly. “Holy crap! I’m about to give Earth a brand-new human being!”
He Huanhuan nodded furiously. “Meili! You’re the mother of Earth! You’re incredible!”
The two of them celebrated the good news while spouting complete nonsense, until a voice came from behind them.
“He Huanhuan?”
They turned around to see a somewhat familiar handsome face standing behind them in a white coat. He Huanhuan looked confused.
“Who are you?”
Meili was thrilled. “A handsome guy! What a handsome guy!”
Seeing that they hadn’t recognized him, Qi Yuan smiled. “My younger brother and I bought one of your travel packages a few years ago. Do you remember?”
The moment he mentioned it, the two women instantly remembered.
“It’s you! The Good Doctor!”
The handsome doctor who had taken them on a video tour of Sawa!
Qi Meili immediately sidled up to Qi Yuan. “Handsome doctor, long time no see! Are you married? Do you have a girlfriend? If not, I’d love to take you out to dinner sometime~”
She was pregnant!
And pregnant women needed to look at handsome men more often so they could give birth to a good-looking baby!
Qi Yuan chuckled. “It’s been several years, but your personality hasn’t changed at all.”
She still loved hitting on handsome men. He glanced at the two of them. “Why are you at the hospital? Are you feeling unwell? Do you need any help?”
Meili giggled. “We do, Doctor! I’m about to give birth to a new human for Earth, and I feel so tired. I need to look at a handsome man a few more times to soothe my exhaustion~~”
Qi Yuan was surprised. “You’re married?”
Behind him, Liang Zheng came out of the consultation room supporting Li Changxin, and happened to hear that exact question.
His expression darkened instantly. Li Changxin hadn’t seen Qi Meili and assumed he was worried about her. “It’s just my old problem. I’ll be fine after resting at home for a few days...”
Liang Zheng supported her as they headed in the opposite direction. “It’s good that it’s nothing serious. Getting it checked out puts our minds at ease...”
That night, the young couple lay in bed. Liang Zheng reached out to pull Meili into his arms, but Meili shoved him away.
“No!”
The doctor had said no sex during the first three months!
No matter how badly he wanted it, he had to hold back!
The scene from earlier that day flashed through Liang Zheng’s mind, so he asked, “I took Mom to the hospital today. Do you have a friend there? I think I saw you.”
Meili nodded. “Yes! He’s a handsome guy! Guess who he is? He’s the one who bought a travel package from Huanhuan and me back then...”
With a cheerful grin, she told him all about her connection with Qi Yuan and the story of how they had met. The more Liang Zheng listened, the worse his expression became.
No wonder he hadn’t been able to find them at the hotel in Sawa. So she had gone to wait for that doctor!
His heart was filled with all kinds of emotions, but he suppressed every one of them properly and didn’t let a single trace show.
Three days later, Qi Yuan was shocked to discover that he had somehow been added to the exchange list for Capital XX Hospital!
It was an extremely rare opportunity: he would be able to study at Capital XX Hospital for six months at the hospital’s expense. After he returned, it would also be much easier for him to earn a promotion in rank.
Opportunities like this depended heavily on connections. He had applied for three years without ever being selected.
He clearly remembered that he had been rejected again this year, so he had no idea why he had suddenly been chosen.
Still, it was a good thing. Without a second thought, he handed over all his work and set off for the capital with complete focus.
By the time Meili returned to the hospital for her prenatal checkup, he was already in the capital.
She had even wanted to get another look at him, but she ended up missing him completely. Can you believe it?
But her desire to see a handsome man was urgent. It wasn’t that she herself wanted to look—this was all for the baby in her belly!
So she set her sights on the idle Gu Jinghan and summoned him to the hospital with a single phone call.
Gu Jinghan hadn’t even gotten out of bed yet. When he received the call, he assumed something had happened to her and rushed to the hospital in such a panic that he didn’t even have time to put on a shirt.
When he saw her, her second brother was terrified. “Meili, what happened? Did Liang Zheng hit you? Your brother absolutely refuses to tolerate domestic violence...”
Meili beamed. “I’m pregnant! The baby wanted to see a handsome man, so hee hee hee...”
...
Gu Jinghan was speechless. “Why didn’t you just explain that over the phone?”
He had come all the way there without even putting on a shirt!
Meili looked at his firm, well-built body and smiled even more brightly. “You look better without one!”
If she weren’t already married, she would definitely have reached out and felt him up a couple of times.
After the examination, Gu Jinghan drove her home.
Halfway there, they happened to run into Liang Zheng on his way home. Gu Jinghan quickly drove ahead and called for him to stop.
The car window rolled down, revealing Gu Jinghan’s shirtless upper body and a thoroughly exhausted expression.
“Come get your wife already! She’s completely worn me out!”
Liang Zheng: ...
Let’s all die together!
