Chapter 127: Chapter 120: For Her, They Fight (1)

Tang Xi didn’t dare to visit the maternity ward at the First Hospital.

She was afraid of being recognized.

But the pain in her abdomen was unbearable, and she staggered out, pushing away the nurse’s trembling, faltering steps.

The blood trailing on the floor told her just how bad things were.

She struggled to support herself and take a taxi to another hospital.

She couldn’t let anyone find out she was pregnant.

But after a few steps, the pain became too much, and she fainted.

When she opened her eyes again.

Tang Xi was already lying in a hospital bed.

She was receiving an IV, sitting up, she saw the label of the First Hospital on the IV bottle, her face turned white.

If people found out she was pregnant, the news would soon spread throughout the First Hospital.

Not to mention losing her job...

The door opened, Xu Yiran came in, holding a lunch. He quickly walked up to Tang Xi, "If you really don’t want the child in your belly, you can pull out the IV and leave now; if you do want it, lie down and rest."

Tang Xi’s eyes widened slightly.

Her hands clutched tightly the corner of the blanket.

She looked around the room again, a desk, a small bed, this place... was clearly not a ward, but Xu Yiran’s resting area.

"You...." Tang Xi opened her mouth, her throat hoarse, "Why is it you?"

He knows I’m pregnant?

"Doctor Xu, I hope you... I beg you, please keep this secret for me."

Xu Yiran looked at her, the woman in front of him was especially weak, her delicately beautiful face was pale, even her lips were light in color, he frowned, astonished when he found out she was pregnant.

Of course, he also knew, his third brother and this woman here had a secret marriage.

He put the lunch on the table and sat in the chair beside the bed, "Does Third Brother know about this?"

Xu Yiran couldn’t help but clench his fists.

Tang Xi pursed her lips, and slowly, she shook her head.

He doesn’t know, she dared not let Fu Tingzhou find out.

This child was not anticipated.

"I know you have a good relationship with Fu Tingzhou. Doctor Xu, I’m pleading with you, please keep this secret. I can’t let others know I’m pregnant, I’ll lose this job, this child... won’t be able to be kept either..." Tang Xi remembered that man’s indifferent gaze and couldn’t help shaking, "Doctor Xu, please."

Xu Yiran took off his glasses, he was a little tired from a morning of work. One hour ago, he was in the emergency department, when suddenly two nurses from cardiology brought in a pregnant woman who was bleeding. Xu Yiran took over the treatment, and at first glance, he recognized her as Tang Xi.

Almost subconsciously, he brought the woman into his own resting area.

He spoke indifferently, "I don’t want to intrude on someone’s privacy, rest assured... this morning I was on duty with Xu Jiayi, no one noticed you."

Tang Xi’s heart, which had been hanging in suspense, relaxed.

"Thank you, Doctor Xu."

After Tang Xi finished her IV, she rested on the bed for a while, and ate the lunch brought by Xu Yiran.

Xu Jiayi knocked and came in.

"Tang Xi, are you okay? You really scared me. I was busy resuscitating a patient just now, and I hurried over as soon as I was free, you..." Xu Jiayi looked at Tang Xi, "Are you married?"

Tang Xi didn’t want to hide from her colleagues and friends, but this marriage was about to end soon.

Moreover, it’s not an honorable matter.

In the whole hospital, everyone knows that Su Mengshu is Fu Tingzhou’s legitimate girlfriend...

Seeing Tang Xi silent, Xu Jiayi didn’t ask further, but her expression clearly changed for a moment, yet she quickly recovered, "Tang Xi, don’t worry, we are good friends, I won’t tell anyone. And I was the one who examined you..."

As she spoke, she glanced at Xu Yiran, her cheeks flushed, "Dr. Xu, have you had lunch? I’m going to order some takeout, what would you like to eat?"

Xu Yiran, sitting in front of his desk, pushed his glasses up his nose bridge, "No need."

Xu Jiayi noticed that there were two lunches on the desk, one obviously for Xu Yiran, and the other prepared by Xu Yiran for Tang Xi.

A feeling of sourness suddenly rose in Xu Jiayi’s heart.

Xu Yiran is really good to Tang Xi...

-

Tang Xi left the hospital and when she got home it was already evening, her health much improved.

The next morning, she put on a mask and a hat and went to the third hospital’s obstetrics and gynecology department for a checkup. After getting her medication and hearing the doctor say that the baby in her belly was fine, she finally felt completely at ease.

In the afternoon, she returned to the emergency department. Xu Zhuoran looked at her with a frown, "Who told you to come to work? Didn’t I grant you two days off?"

Tang Xi spoke softly, "I feel better... The department is so busy, I can be of help as an assistant..."

Xu Yiran, staring at her pale complexion, furrowed his brow deeply, "I don’t need a patient as an assistant."

Suddenly someone called Tang Xi’s name.

"Dr. Tang, someone is looking for you."

As Tang Xi turned around and arrived at the nurse’s station, she saw Cheng Yunlang waiting for her.

As soon as he saw her coming, Cheng Yunlang walked a few steps towards her with a relieved face.

But Tang Xi stepped back, keeping a distance of two meters, "Dr. Cheng, what are you doing here?"

Seeing her keeping a distance from him, a hurt flashed in Cheng Yunlang’s eyes, "I... I have two tickets to a musical, this Saturday morning."

Tang Xi declined, "I’m busy on Saturday."

"Tang Xi, must we be so cold to each other? Do you remember, back in college, during our club’s anniversary, the musical we prepared? You were singing and dancing, and I was right beside you, we were partners, friends, classmates..."

At that time, Tang Xi was young and beautiful, dancing lightly in a white dress, her voice gentle.

Cheng Yunlang was captivated by her at first sight.

Tang Xi clenched her fingers tightly and slowly interrupted him, "Dr. Cheng, I’m still your sister-in-law, do you think it’s appropriate to invite your sister-in-law to watch a musical with you?"

Cheng Yunlang took a step forward, trying to grasp her hand, but Tang Xi dodged away.

"I know Su Mengshu is pregnant, and your marriage with my brother-in-law is about to end soon. Yours was a marriage of agreement, right?" Cheng Yunlang said, "Your marriage to my brother-in-law isn’t real, Tang Xi, I am willing to wait for you."

Tang Xi was taken aback.

"Senior Cheng... I... This has nothing to do with Fu Tingzhou, even if I’m not your sister-in-law, there’s no possibility between us."

Apart from the world of difference in our statuses.

She has never had any feelings beyond those of friendship for Cheng Yunlang.

Always considered Cheng Yunlang as a senior, a colleague.

Friendship, not love.

Cheng Yunlang seemed unable to believe it, "Is it because my mother asked you to leave thoracic surgery? I’ve already spoken to her clearly..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xu Yiran stepped in front of Tang Xi.

"Cheng Yunlang, she’s made herself very clear, she doesn’t like you, please leave the emergency department!"
