The Tender Beauty is Sweetly Doted in the 20th Century Novel!-Chapter 246 - 245: Reunion with Qin Yan

This dark green dress is also new; she hasn’t seen it before.

When she put it on, this soft, slimming, non-restrictive long dress immediately made her fall in love with it.

What kind of divine taste does her straight-laced husband have!

For so long, he hasn’t once botched buying her clothes!

Clearly, when he picked it up, she felt it was a pretty ordinary dress, but she didn’t expect it to look this good when worn.

It’s breathable, comfortable, and stretchy, and her belly doesn’t feel as constricted as with other fitted dresses.

It’s simply perfect!

"Do you like it?"

He Chen’s eyes lingered on her, filled with amazement, and of course, there was a bit of pride on his face when he asked this question.

"I like it! I like it a lot! Thank you, hubby～"

Ye Manman wasn’t stingy with her praises and encouragement, hugging him and giving him a big kiss.

"Let’s go～ We can finish the check-up quickly, and then you can go back to the office. It’s always inconvenient working from home."

"Sure."

The hospital isn’t far, and hand in hand, the two of them chatted and laughed all the way there.

And just as she expected, the hospital was very quiet, with few people getting check-ups; they could almost start the prenatal check-up immediately upon arrival.

After Ye Manman was taken away by the doctor, He Chen sat quietly in a waiting chair, looking over some papers he brought along.

His company was indeed busy, and he did make time to accompany her, but it didn’t affect much. Whenever he wanted to focus on something, he could quickly find his groove anywhere.

However, He Chen hadn’t been reading for long when suddenly someone patted his shoulder.

He thought Ye Manman had come out so soon, and his slightly furrowed brow was just about to relax when he turned his head and saw an unfamiliar pregnant woman.

"Hello～ What a coincidence seeing you here! Are you here with your wife for a prenatal check-up?"

The woman was dressed very fashionably, with her hair permed into trendy curls and styled with mousse. She looked at him with enthusiasm, as if they were old friends, and sat down next to him uninvited after speaking.

Seeing this, He Chen frowned again, quickly shifting over one seat.

"And you are?"

He didn’t remember knowing such a woman.

After all, he met a lot of people while running around outside over the years, but he’d never collaborated with or spoken to a pregnant woman, let alone one who wore makeup, had a perm, and wore perfume while visibly pregnant.

The moment this woman sat down, a rich floral fragrance overwhelmed the air, so strong that it was impossible to block out, and the entire air was filled with this scent.

Even after he moved a seat away, his nose was still overwhelmed with the scent, which was bothersome and mildly itchy.

He sniffed his nose and rubbed it a little, unwilling to communicate further with this woman.

But the woman clearly didn’t expect not to be recognized and was somewhat hurt by his shift away.

"You..."

She incredulously adjusted her hair, sitting up straight, "We ate together on the train, remember?"

Seeing his still confused and tightly knit brows, Qin Yan waved her hands animatedly.

"I even slept in the bunk above your wife, don’t you remember?"

With her saying that, He Chen barely managed to recall who she was.

However, his impression of that willful girl didn’t quite match up with the gaudily dressed woman sitting in front of him now.

If Qin Yan back then seemed like a temperamental girl, now she seemed like a socialite’s lover.

All adorned in glitter and pearls, pregnant yet wearing perfume, showing little regard for the child in her belly, only caring about her own pleasure.

"Do you remember now?"

Seeing his expression, Qin Yan breathed a sigh of relief, "Ah, finally you remember. I haven’t changed much, right? Just got a new hairstyle and changed my dressing style a bit."

She touched her belly, with a bit of sentiment.

"I didn’t expect to be pregnant then. If I’d known, I wouldn’t have been so wilful; I should’ve listened to my man and gotten a lower bunk. If something had happened, there would be nowhere to cry. I indeed owe your wife an apology for being rude back then."

"But meeting again is fate. I don’t really know anyone here in Jing City. What do you guys do around here? Can you chat for a bit?"

Qin Yan’s personality had changed quite a bit since then, in an indescribable way.

It seemed maybe a bit better, but he still didn’t like this woman.

He had no intention of making friends with her.

Nor would Ye Manman ever befriend her.

How could they make friends when their encounter was just a brief, unfriendly one?

"No need; I have things to do. Once you’re done with your check-up, you should head back early."

He Chen pointed to the papers in his hand and straightforwardly declined her friendly overture.

This cold and ruthless demeanor was exactly the same as it was on the train back then.

Even though he seemed more affluent and poised than before.

Qin Yan was a bit speechless, feeling somewhat depressed.

"Then you go on first."

"I haven’t received my check-up results yet."

She could tell He Chen didn’t want to deal with her, after all, the impression she left initially was indeed bad, but she genuinely wanted to befriend them now.

If it wasn’t for Ye Manman scaring off that man who tried to harass her and keeping the incident secret, she wouldn’t have the good life she was living now.

As soon as she arrived in Jing City, she was found to be pregnant; if that ugly incident had been exposed, Guo Zhengde would’ve sent her back the next day.

How could she have ended up living in a villa, buying jewelry willy-nilly, and spending money freely?

Now she was pregnant with Guo Zhengde’s only child. Once she gave birth to a son, she could officially be recognized.

Guo Zhengde promised her.

As long as she gave birth to a son, he would divorce and marry her immediately.

Qin Yan sat there sulking, while He Chen also felt a bit on edge.

He didn’t know what this woman was up to, but a little voice in his head kept warning him to stay far, far away from her.

After sitting a bit longer, seeing Qin Yan show no intention of leaving, He Chen had no choice but to pretend he had something to do, taking his papers and leaving his seat to head towards the far entrance.

Just after he left, not even a few minutes later, Qin Yan, who had been sitting patiently waiting for her results, slipped the moment she heard the nurse call for her to pick up her results.

"Ah—"

She screamed, twisted her ankle badly, and fell to the ground.

Qin Yan wasn’t wearing flats; the shoes on her feet had a three-centimeter heel. Even though it was a thick heel, it was just because of such a high heel that she happened to step on a freshly mopped, not yet dried, tiled floor, leading to a highly coincidental accident.

When the sharp pain hit her stomach and warm liquid gushed out beneath her, Qin Yan’s face turned white with fear.

She cried for help desperately, "Help! Help! Save my baby!"
