“I know you won’t be satisfied with loving just one woman, so I won’t be foolish enough to demand being your only one. We’ll be together, keep this relationship private, until we’re both tired of it.” The promise from back then still echoes in her ears. Is she tired of it now? Does she not want to continue anymore? Watching them quietly until they got into the car, Xia’er lowered her eyes, her thick eyelashes hiding her complex emotions. Murmuring “The CEO Wants to Play a Game” Chapter 7 “…In early pregnancy, you should take extra care of your body. Having a high fever is dangerous, as you can’t take many medications.” The young nurse smiled and advised as she slowly woke from her sleep. “I’m sorry, I don’t understand what you mean.” Pregnant? Who is pregnant? Is the nurse talking about her? Could she have mixed up the medical records? She’s not pregnant! Yesterday, in a daze, she only vaguely remembered Gao Yizhe anxiously bringing her to the hospital, with her last memory ending after the doctor announced she would be hospitalized for observation. “I’m telling you to take care of your body, don’t overwork yourself. If you’re sick, the baby won’t be well either.” The nurse opened the curtains, letting bright light fill the room. “I’m pregnant?” Her already pale face now lost all color, Xinluo sat up in panic. “Oh my! You don’t know yet?” “…” She shook her head, Xinluo too shocked to respond. “Do you remember when your last menstrual period was?” “…I can’t remember.
“Her menstrual cycle had always been irregular, and she had never paid much attention to it. ‘Oh… this is too careless. Although in the early stages of pregnancy, many mothers indeed don’t know, but now you know! From now on, you must take good care of your body.’ ‘…’ Still in an overly excited emotional state, Xinluo tightly gripped the bed sheets, as if struck by a thunderbolt from a clear sky. How could this be… how could this happen? They had always taken protective measures! This child’s timing was too coincidental, so coincidental that she herself found it hard to accept. When Lan Zhenyun announced her pregnancy, she had seen Xia’erxi’s cold expression with her own eyes, and she knew his attitude better than anyone… Could this child be kept? ‘Miss Qi? Miss Qi?’ The nurse was startled by her unsightly expression. ‘Are you okay? Is something wrong? Should I call the doctor?’ ‘No, I’m fine, I’m just too surprised.’ Xinluo forced out a smile. ‘I see…’ Her expression didn’t look like surprise, but more like ‘shock’? The nurse paused and changed the subject. ‘Would you like me to call your family to come and accompany you? You probably won’t be discharged today.’ ‘Mm.’ Her mind was in complete chaos, and she indeed needed someone by her side. ‘Give me your contact number, and I can help you contact them,’ the nurse said thoughtfully.”
“Chairman Xia? Chairman Xia?” Urgent calls pulled Xia Er Xi’s wandering thoughts back, and he finally looked directly at Bai Chenghai. “Hmm?” he responded faintly. “You’ve been in a daze since morning. You haven’t forgotten about the meeting we’re about to have, have you?” Bai Chenghai looked at him suspiciously. “…I haven’t forgotten.”
He’s lying, he definitely forgot, just look at his expression. “Is something wrong?”
“What capacity are you asking me in? As Assistant Bai or as Bai Chenghai?” Xia Er Xi raised an eyebrow.
“I can play whatever role you like,” Bai Chenghai smiled ambiguously.
Xia Er Xi gave him a cold glance, not even smiling.
“Your joke isn’t funny.”
“I’m just being considerate,” Bai Chenghai muttered discontentedly.
“I remember you once told me you thought Xin Luo wasn’t suitable for me?”
“…This is just my personal opinion, not everyone’s stance,” Bai Chenghai frowned.
“Right now, I want to hear your opinion.”
“Honestly… not suitable.” This question wouldn’t change even if asked a hundred times; he had always been objective and fair.
Unless Xia Er Xi changed completely.
“Can you give me a reason?” Xia Er Xi’s black eyes narrowed slightly.
“Qi, the talented woman, is someone very serious and persistent about love. She deserves a serious and persistent man. Based on this alone, you can’t do it.”
“So you think I would hold her back?”
“I didn’t say that,” he said. “What day is it today? Is the sun rising from the west? The legendary playboy Xia Er Xi is actually discussing the philosophy of love with him. “Love is something that only matters based on the feelings of those involved. Do you think she is happy?” “…” Upon hearing this, Xia Er Xi fell silent. Those involved… does he mean himself and Xin Luo? To be honest, he couldn’t quite grasp how Xin Luo viewed this relationship. In his feeling, she seemed very casual and detached, as if she just wanted someone to accompany her, and anyone would do.
Over the years, she never asked about his romantic life with other women, nor did she want to know if he had a new love interest. Even if he didn’t appear for an entire month, she would never take the initiative to contact him. The one who always takes the initiative is always him; her attitude is very passive… very passive…
“Er Xi?” Seeing him drift off again, Bai Cheng Hai called out again.
“Have you heard of Han Tang’s second-generation young master Gao Yi Zhe?” Xia Er Xi snapped back to attention.
“Not only have I heard of him, but I’ve also met him and had a meal together.” Business connections, after all!
“What do you think of him?”
“He’s a good person, capable too. Many women like him. His popularity isn’t worse than yours!” Bai Cheng Hai touched his nose.
Xia Er Xi’s expression instantly stiffened. The comment about his popularity being no worse was particularly grating. Would Bai Cheng Hai ever say something nice?
“What? Do you have a grudge against him?”
His beautiful black eyes glanced at Bai Cheng Hai.
“If I’m not mistaken, he should be pursuing Xinluo.” “Oh~~” he made a strange “oh” sound, and Bo Chenghai stopped talking. “What does that ‘oh’ mean?” “Nothing.” Bo Chenghai shrugged. “Bo Chenghai!” He gritted his teeth in warning, finding half-spoken words most annoying. “What I mean by this ‘oh’ is—” Bo Chenghai looked back at him, his expression serious. “You should be careful.”
“Sister! Are you okay?” Just entering the hospital room, Xinmei rushed over anxiously, “I just received a call from the hospital saying you’re hospitalized, which nearly scared me to death.”
“I’m fine…” Strictly speaking, she should say she’s fine now, but the future was another matter, “It’s just a minor cold.”
“A minor cold should have been checked by a doctor first! Look how serious it is now that you’ve been hospitalized. If Dad finds out, he’ll lecture you about not taking care of yourself.” Her sister, who was excellent in studying and work, was not so reliable when it came to emotions and daily life.
Xinmei put down her coat and immediately started peeling fruit for her to eat.
“What did the doctor say? When can you be discharged?”
“Xinmei, I want to tell you something, but you must promise not to tell Mom and Dad.” Frowning, Xinluo’s expression was serious.
“Sis, I don’t like the way you’re talking right now, don’t scare me.” Why suddenly get so serious? It made her feel uneasy, wondering if she had contracted some incurable disease. “The nurse just said… said…” The words stopped at her li
“Sis… just tell me already!” Her hesitant manner was truly maddening.
“The nurse just told me… thanks to your big mouth, I’m really pregnant,” Xinluo said calmly.
“What?” She was stunned for a full three seconds: Xinmei forced a laugh.
“Sis, stop joking, this isn’t funny at all.”
“Do I look like I’m joking?” Xinluo raised an eyebrow.
