Feng Yunan looked at her face coldly and said impatiently, “You’re the one who said your stomach hurts.”
No…
She had said that her stomach hurt because she had left too quickly. There was no need for her to come to the hospital for a checkup.
Qiao Ruoxi looked into his eyes. “I’m not in pain anymore.”
“What if it hurts again?”
Qiao Ruoxi was speechless.
Feng Yunan ignored her and ordered the doctor, “Check.”
The nurse had already prepared the equipment and everything was ready.
A few experts from the OB / GYN department came over and asked Qiao Ruoxi to go lie down on the bed for the checkup.
Qiao Ruoxi knew how domineering the man could be. If she didn’t accept the checkup, she would probably not be allowed to step out of the ward today.
She had no choice but to cooperate with them.
Because she was still early along her pregnancy, Qiao Ruoxi needed to drink water and hold her pee before she could do an ultrasound.
The doctor applied a coupling agent on her belly and then stuck the ultrasound wand on her belly before rubbing it around. It felt cold.
A black and white image appeared on the screen.
The doctor explained while checking, “Mr. Feng, we can already see the fetal heart. It’s here.”
It was the first time Feng Yunan had seen something like this in his life. The black picture was flashing with white light. Was that the fetus?
Ever since Qiao Ruoxi was admitted to the hospital, he had never cared about her pregnancy, nor did he feel anything special.
At this moment, as he looked at the ultrasound screen, a strange feeling emerged in Feng Yunan’s heart. He was about to… become a father?
But why couldn’t she feel any joy?
He even felt a little restless. He was not prepared to be a father.
Or rather, if the woman who was pregnant with his child was Wen Ke’er, he might feel particularly happy.
His frown deepened when he thought of Wen Ke’er.
Feng Yunan left the room and paced back and forth. He then ordered, “Listen carefully. No one is allowed to tell anyone about Qiao Ruoxi’s pregnancy. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences.”
They were all doctors working in the Feng family’s hospital. Who would dare to disobey the president’s words?
The doctors and nurses all nodded to express their understanding.
Qiao Ruoxi came out after she was done with her checkup. She heard Feng Yunan’s order and felt that it was a good one.
It just so happened that she did not want anyone to know about her pregnancy.
She walked over and asked in a negotiating tone, “Mr. Feng, the doctor has already checked that I’m fine. I want to go back to work tomorrow, is that okay?”
“You still want to go to work?”
Feng Yunan glanced at her and left the ward.
The man had one hand in his pocket and was walking very fast. Qiao Ruoxi caught up with him with small steps. “I can go to work. I’m fine.”
Qiao Ruoxi did not want to be a caged canary. Living too comfortably in a wealthy family would only slowly make her lose her fighting spirit and drive.
She had to have a job of her own.
This was for the future.
A year later, she only hoped that when the agreement was over and the Feng family was no longer her support, she would not be too miserable then.
“You’ve been fired.”
Feng Yunan reminded her hostilely.
Qiao Ruoxi said unwillingly, “The labor law states that the company cannot dismiss pregnant women. President, when you fired me, I was already pregnant. So, expulsion is invalid.”
She had a sharp tongue.
Feng Yunan suddenly stopped. Qiao Ruoxi bumped into his back and was bounced back.
The man turned his head and looked down at her. He said coldly, “Since you chose to work, I can tell you that I won’t give you any privileges.”
