Fated Love With the Billionaire
Chapter 469: Empathy

Chapter 469: Chapter 469: Empathy

Chen Ningxi has been resting at home after undergoing embryo transfer and needs to check estradiol levels four days later.

Cheng Qiaobei had to go on a business trip and was worried about leaving her alone, so he took Chen Ningxi to her parents’ house to recuperate.

He originally planned to be back today, but a sudden typhoon has left Cheng Qiaobei stranded at the airport.

He sat in the first-class lounge and dialed Chen Ningxi’s number.

Cheng Qiaobei apologetically said, "Honey, I got caught in the typhoon, flights are suspended, and I don’t know when they will resume. Mom will have to accompany you to the hospital today."

Chen Ningxi said casually, "It’s okay, it’s just a test, don’t worry. Are you at the airport or the hotel?"

"Airport, I’m waiting for updates here," Cheng Qiaobei asked again: "Is your stomach still hurting?"

Chen Ningxi said, "It stopped hurting yesterday."

Cheng Qiaobei was finally relieved and reminded her, "Don’t drive."

"My mom will drive." As soon as Chen Ningxi finished saying that, Ye Yujun called out to her, "Ningxi, we should go."

Chen Ningxi walked out of the room, Ye Yujun asked, "Is it Cheng?"

Chen Ningxi replied, "Yes, his flight can’t leave because of the typhoon."

Ye Yujun spoke loudly, and Chen Ningxi switched her phone to speaker mode.

"Cheng, don’t worry, I’m taking Ningxi to the hospital now."

"Mom, thank you, be careful on the road."

"Don’t worry."

Chen Ningxi spoke to the phone, "That’s all, we’re heading out."

Cheng Qiaobei: "Okay."

Before leaving, Ye Yujun asked, "Did you bring your ID and medical card?"

Chen Ningxi patted her satchel, "Got them."

After making sure nothing was forgotten, the mother and daughter left.

Chen Ningxi got into the passenger seat, looked at the road, and said, "Ms. Ye, please start your service."

Ye Yujun smiled at her, "Be sure to give a five-star review if the service is good."

Chen Ningxi: "You know about five-star reviews, looks like you’ve been shopping online quite a bit."

Ye Yujun raised an eyebrow and smiled, "It’s the internet age, you young people drive progress, and we can’t fall behind. We need to keep up with the times. Young folks do e-commerce, we shop, and that’s also a way to support progress."

"That’s insightful," Chen Ningxi gave a thumbs up, "What more could you expect from Minister Ye."

The car had just stopped in the hospital parking lot when Chen Weichuan called.

"Hello, Old Chen, Ningxi and I just arrived at the hospital, what’s up?" Ye Yujun locked the car and followed Chen Ningxi to the hospital entrance.

Chen Weichuan said, "Nothing much, just wondering if Ningxi has started her check-up."

"Not yet, we just got here. I’ll hang up now, Ningxi and I will go register."

"Alright, let me know once you’re done."

Ye Yujun put away her phone and said to Chen Ningxi, "Your dad’s just worried."

Chen Ningxi said, "It’s just a test, he doesn’t think we can get results today, does he?"

Ye Yujun laughed, "Probably."

Before tests, fasting from food and water is required, and results usually take 24 hours.

The mother and daughter headed out, and Ye Yujun asked, "Want to eat something?"

Going down the escalator, they saw the food stalls at the entrance, and Chen Ningxi, smelling the aroma, said:

"I want a grilled sausage."

Ye Yujun rolled her eyes, "I think you look like a grilled sausage."

Chen Ningxi: "Burger."

Ye Yujun said, "Wait here, I’ll go get the car."

At the entrance, the crowd was bustling, and Chen Ningxi found a shady spot to wait for Ye Yujun.

A young couple came out of the hospital, seemingly discussing medical treatment.

Chen Ningxi wasn’t eavesdropping intentionally, but the man’s voice was hard to ignore.

After a bit of conversation, it became clear the woman was diagnosed with infertility; both her fallopian tubes were blocked. The man was expressing one thing throughout: if you can’t have children, we must part ways, I can’t grow old with you alone. The woman’s eyes were red, on the verge of tears, and Chen Ningxi couldn’t bear it anymore, walking towards the parking lot.

In the hospital, the multifaceted nature of humanity is evident. That woman hadn’t even started treatment before being given the "eviction notice" by the man, while Cheng Qiaobei remained by her side even after her diagnosis. The more she saw, the more she appreciated Cheng Qiaobei’s goodness.

Her phone buzzed twice, she checked it, and saw messages from him.

north: Honey, relax, don’t put pressure on yourself.

Chen Ningxi: Got it, I just finished the test, still waiting for results.

north: After the test, have something to eat, don’t starve.

Chen Ningxi: My mom went to buy it for me.

north: Good.

Chen Ningxi: I saw the typhoon warning there, likely until tonight. Don’t wait at the airport, find a hotel to rest.

north: Got it.

He was eager to return, certainly not planning to follow her advice.

Chen Ningxi: Video call from the hotel.

Cheng Qiaobei: "..."

He sighed helplessly, glanced at his watch, and had no choice but to go to the airport-arranged hotel.

Ye Yujun, driving, saw Chen Ningxi walking towards her and quickly stabilized the car, "Wasn’t I told you to wait there? It’s a long way and it’s hot, aren’t you afraid of getting heatstroke."

After getting in the car, Chen Ningxi said, "After you left, a young couple came, and the woman had just been diagnosed with blocked fallopian tubes. The man began blaming her and even threatened to divorce her. The woman didn’t talk back but listened, making me angry."

Ye Yujun started the car and headed to the exit, "If he really divorces her over this, it’s not illegal, just unethical."

Chen Ningxi understood this logic, turned her head to look outside, and saw the man gesturing disdainfully at the woman, who kept her head down in silence, no guessing needed to know he was criticizing her.

"Mom,"

"Hmm?" Ye Yujun was scanning to pay the parking fee.

Chen Ningxi said, "Why does a woman become so humble when she can’t have children."

Ye Yujun successfully paid the parking fee and drove on, saying, "It’s not the woman who wants to be humble; it’s the man’s attitude."

Chen Ningxi instantly understood, realizing she never felt humble not because she was inherently strong but because of Cheng Qiaobei’s attitude toward her.

Ye Yujun said, "In the whole world, not many men are like Cheng. You realize this by comparing. So, he’s good to you, and naturally, I’m good to him, treating others as they treat you."

Chen Ningxi counted the days. The doctor said, the fastest results come within four days, but usually take seven to ten days.

"Mom, stop at the pharmacy ahead."

The typhoon passed, and flights resumed.

Cheng Qiaobei’s flight got rescheduled to eight-thirty PM, estimating he would arrive in Danjiang around midnight.

After passing security, he messaged Chen Ningxi, informing her of the flight’s departure and arrival times. Considering it was too late for the Chen Family, he decided to go home directly and pick up Chen Ningxi the next morning.

No matter how late, he would make it back, and Chen Ningxi couldn’t just leave him alone.

"Mom," Chen Ningxi started gathering her things, "Qiaobei’s flight comes back tonight, I’m going home."

Ye Yujun said, "Why go home, let him come here."

Chen Ningxi: "He’s worried about disturbing you and dad’s rest late at night."

"We won’t mind, let him come here. Don’t fuss around at night, and anyway, I’m worried if you go alone." Ye Yujun picked up her phone and dialed Cheng Qiaobei, "Hello, Cheng, come straight here after your flight... It’s not disturbing, your dad and I sleep deeply... Ningxi is concerned about you, wanting to wait at home... Yes, I said the same... Okay, it’s settled."

After hanging up, Ye Yujun said, "It’s decided, he’ll come here after his flight."
