Chapter 597: Chapter 598: Take the Opportunity to Have a Good Talk

Just as the doctor came in to administer Fu Han’s IV infusion, she didn’t have time to think about what Nan Qing was going to do, only staring with some fear at the needle. She had been terrified of injections since she was a child, and she belonged to the sort that couldn’t bear to watch at all.

Yesterday, when He Xing was here, she cried while being injected, but today, with He Xing absent, she surprisingly became much calmer and simply gritted her teeth and got through it.

Drip by drip, the fluid flowed down the tube and into Fu Han’s body.

As each droplet of liquid fell like beads of oil, it seemed eternal, as if it would never change.

Fu Han leaned back slightly, feeling that some things being eternal and unchanging wasn’t such a bad thing after all, like the feelings between her and He Xing—if they were eternal, it meant they would always be in love.

A few minutes later, Nan Qing returned happily and urged Fu Han anxiously, "Call He Xing and tell him to wait at the hospital entrance for Wang Yixuan, so the two of them can go buy some food together."

Fu Han’s lips curved into a smile as she immediately grasped what Nan Qing meant.

After making the call, she said to Nan Qing with a smile, "There, are you relieved now? I also made sure to specially instruct him to really persuade Wang Yixuan."

"Of course I’m relieved." A faint blush colored Nan Qing’s cheeks, and her eyes darted around restlessly, unwilling to meet Fu Han’s gaze: "I don’t understand what’s gotten into my parents. Their way of thinking is actually the same as Wang Yixuan’s. Alas..."

After a long sigh, Nan Qing spoke with particular helplessness: "I just don’t get it. Why is it that others find love so easy, yet for me, it’s so difficult? I like Wang Yixuan, and he likes me too. Why can’t we just be together?"

Fu Han reached out to pat Nan Qing on the shoulder, but suddenly realized she still had a needle in her hand, and a piercing pain shot through her as she moved.

She hastily stopped her movements and said with an apologetic face, "I’m sorry, Nan Qing. If it weren’t for me, you and Wang Yixuan wouldn’t be in this situation. Perhaps you would already be discussing marriage by now."

"It’s not your fault," Nan Qing sighed, resting her head against the back of the chair and staring at the ceiling: "Actually, I haven’t had the chance to tell you. My parents were not very supportive of us being together from the day they first saw Wang Yixuan."

"Why?" Fu Han’s eyes widened in shock, hearing such news for the first time and finding it quite astonishing.

After all, she was present as a guest that day, and Nan Qing’s parents seemed very warm and showed no signs of dissatisfaction with Wang Yixuan.

"That’s not what I meant." Nan Qing hastily waved her hands, speaking anxiously: "It’s not that my parents think poorly of Wang Yixuan; on the contrary, they think Wang Yixuan is too good. They believe I’m not good enough for him, that I might not be able to hold him down, and that I won’t be able to have him stay with me for a lifetime."

Fu Han’s eyes widened as she looked at Nan Qing, almost doubting her own ears: "So being excellent is also a mistake?"

"How would I know." Nan Qing shrugged with a helpless expression: "My parents think my overall qualifications are mediocre and that I’m reaching too high by being with Wang Yixuan, which is why they oppose our relationship."

Fu Han wanted to console Nan Qing, but she suddenly thought of herself and He Xing.

If she were to go by Nan Qing’s parents’ logic, then even her relationship with He Xing would be deemed unsuitable. She couldn’t match up to He Xing in any aspect. Wasn’t there also the suspicion that she, a toad, was trying to eat swan meat?

Hadn’t Xia Ning, Xia Cheng, and their bunch of cronies always been saying the same about Fu Han for years? Saying she was just a servant’s child and didn’t deserve He Xing, assuming she didn’t know her place.

Meanwhile, Nan Qing continued rambling: "Actually, my parents were thinking of having me give birth first, to live with Wang Yixuan for a few years without marriage to see how things go. If our relationship is still good after a few years, then we can get married."

Fu Han was about to reply when she was stunned by this remark, leaving her subsequent words unspoken.

Nan Qing’s crisp voice never ceased: "Actually, I never told my parents that there’s a high chance I won’t be able to carry the baby to term. The doctor said my progesterone levels are severely low, and it’s likely the pregnancy won’t survive the first trimester."

"What?" Fu Han’s eyes widened as she looked at Nan Qing: "But I’ve never heard you mention this before. You’re not just saying this to comfort me, are you?"

Nan Qing’s blush deepened, and she spoke somewhat embarrassedly: "No one knows about this except Wang Yixuan and me. I didn’t tell you because I was afraid that if I did, my parents would make me terminate the pregnancy; plus, it was only when I realized I was pregnant that I understood how much I truly liked Wang Yixuan and wanted to marry him."

"So..." Fu Han felt like she hadn’t slept well the previous night, or perhaps there had been too much happening that morning, making her mind somewhat muddled. She spoke haltingly: "So, knowing your parents might not support your marriage, you brought Wang Yixuan back in such a hurry. You wanted to get married before your parents found out about the baby, right?"

"Exactly, that’s the idea." Nan Qing’s face brightened with more smiles, and she leaned in towards Fu Han, batting her eyelashes twice: "What do you think? I’ve been pretty thoughtful, haven’t I?"

"Heh, very." Fu Han gave a forced smile, saying with a certain helplessness: "You’ve fooled even your parents. What can I say? You truly are... exceptional!"

As if Nan Qing didn’t notice the teasing hidden in Fu Han’s eyes, she laughed, then her expression turned bitter after a few seconds: "But I never expected things would turn out to be the very scenario I feared most."

The atmosphere in the room grew somewhat stifling for a moment, and Fu Han knew she should comfort Nan Qing, but she didn’t know what to say.

After thinking it over, she said earnestly, "Nan Qing, I think as long as your parents don’t dislike Wang Yixuan, there’s still a chance for things to improve. It mostly comes down to your and Wang Yixuan’s attitude. I know you’re determined, and He Xing has promised me he’ll talk to Wang Yixuan, so don’t be too pessimistic."

Nan Qing nodded, a smile gradually returning to her face. She looked meaningfully at Fu Han: "Fu Han, even though you’ve always been more popular with the opposite sex than me, I never expected your charm to extend this far. I knew about He Xing and Su Cheng pursuing you, but I really hadn’t noticed Ji Liangchuan."

"What’s the use of having so many unwelcome admirers? A person has only one heart to give to one person. Finding someone who truly likes you is enough." Nan Qing looked up slightly; the IV bag still dripped steadily, the tiny droplets crystalline and clear. Bathed in sunlight, they shimmered with a luster like that of jade.
