Chapter 337: 339. The pregnant woman’s mood swings (9 updates)

"Mr. Eden, I hope you can keep my condition somewhat private," Fu Hengyi suddenly said.

Eden looked puzzled, and Fu Hengyi explained, "When you speak to others about my condition, I hope you can make it sound more serious."

Eden immediately understood, "Okay, I can promise you that, but you’ll need to start rehabilitation training for your leg later on. I’ll create a rehab plan according to your condition, and it would be best if you could massage and relax your leg muscles regularly to help with the recovery."

"Thank you," said Fu Hengyi. Eden nodded and left the hospital room, and Shen Junyu set up a small table. "Now that you’re at ease, both of you can eat, right?"

Shen Qinglan was indeed hungry now.

The dishes Shen Junyu bought were all light, and there was also a bowl of soup, "Lanlan, this soup is for you. Aunt Zhao said your appetite hasn’t been very good these days. I specifically asked the doctor, and this soup has the effect of strengthening the spleen and stimulating the appetite. Drink more of it."

Fu Hengyi served the soup for Shen Qinglan and placed it in front of her, then he began to pick out fish bones for her.

"Bro, have you eaten?" asked Shen Qinglan.

Shen Junyu smiled and nodded, "I’ve eaten. You two go ahead and eat."

While they were eating, Shen Junyu’s phone rang. It was a call from home asking about Fu Hengyi’s condition. Only then did Shen Qinglan remember that she had forgotten to call her family to let them know she was safe.

She looked at Fu Hengyi, "Fu Hengyi, I feel like my IQ has dropped ever since I got pregnant."

When Fu Hengyi heard this, he couldn’t help but laugh, seeing the annoyance in her eyes, and quickly consoled her, "Not at all, my wife is just as smart as before. If anyone dares say you’re dumb, I won’t let them off the hook."

Shen Junyu finished his call and caught the tail end of the conversation, saying with a grin, "People say ’pregnancy makes you dumb for three years.’ It’s pretty normal for you to get a little silly."

A single remark drew cold looks from two people. Hmm, one of those looks even carried a hint of murderous intent.

Shen Junyu touched his nose and kept quiet.

Fu Hengyi put a piece of fish into Shen Qinglan’s bowl, "Eat more fish. They say it makes you smarter."

Shen Qinglan gave him a deep and thoughtful look.

Shen Junyu couldn’t help laughing, but upon locking eyes with Fu Hengyi’s cold gaze, he stood up and said, "I have matters to attend to at the company, so I’ll leave first. I will come to see you both tonight."

Saying so, he left with style.

Shen Qinglan wordlessly watched her brother’s retreating figure, then returned her attention to her meal and continued eating.

After finishing the meal, Shen Qinglan went downstairs for a walk. The doctor said that at this stage of her pregnancy, it was good for her to move around a bit to facilitate the upcoming birth. She walked for nearly half an hour, not wanting to worry Fu Hengyi, so Shen Qinglan headed back up. But just as she reached the door of the hospital room, she heard a woman’s voice inside, a voice she recognized.

Shen Qinglan raised an eyebrow and entered the room.

The visitor was Jiang Wenjing. Shen Qinglan had met her previously in the Beijing Military Region; she was one of Fu Hengyi’s admirers.

"Miss Jiang, long time no see."

Upon seeing Shen Qinglan, Jiang Wenjing paused, her gaze lingering on Shen Qinglan’s stomach for a moment, then with a slight change in her expression, she regained her composure and gave a slight smile, "Miss Shen, long time no see."

"Now, you should refer to me as Mrs. Fu," Shen Qinglan said indifferently.

Jiang Wenjing’s smile stiffened slightly, then she corrected herself, "Mrs. Fu."

She looked at Fu Hengyi, "Since you’re alright, I’ll be leaving now."

Fu Hengyi nodded, and after Jiang Wenjing had left, Shen Qinglan asked, "How did she know you were hospitalized?"

Many people knew about Fu Hengyi’s injury; he had even stayed in the hospital for a month before. But Jiang Wenjing had never shown up, and Shen Qinglan had almost forgotten about her. Unexpectedly, the day Fu Hengyi had surgery, this person appeared.

"She said she didn’t see anyone at the Fu residence, and Old Sir Fu told her I was in the hospital, so she came over."

Shen Qinglan glanced at the items Jiang Wenjing had brought. Picking up the flowers from the table and smelling them, she said, "It seems this admirer of yours hasn’t given up on you yet." Not even forgetting to mix a few pink roses among the lilies when visiting someone in the hospital.

Fu Hengyi wasn’t bothered by this, but what he cared about more was his wife’s mood, "If you don’t like them, just throw them away."

"What a waste that would be. She came all the way to see you and even brought flowers. Throwing them away would be such a disservice to her sentiments. Putting them in a vase to freshen up the air isn’t a bad idea."

Better to throw them away, thought Fu Hengyi to himself. Listening to Shen Qinglan’s slightly sour words, his smile was indulgent. He noticed that her mood recently had been as changeable as the weather in May, and Fu Hengyi didn’t find this to be a bad thing at all. Shen Qinglan’s emotions were more apparent, making her seem more alive.

Taking her hand to sit down, he asked, "Are you jealous?"

Shen Qinglan gave him a sidelong glance. "Why would I be jealous? Just a future colleague coming to visit. Fu Hengyi, do you really think so little of me in your heart?"

Fu Hengyi had no good response to that. One misstep could light the fuse to an explosive situation, and ultimately, he would be the one to suffer. "How could I? My wife is the most beautiful, magnanimous person in this world. How could she be jealous for no reason?"

Shen Qinglan was satisfied for the moment. That’s more like it.

Having appeased his wife’s mood, Mr. Fu also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

That evening, although Fu Hengyi intended to have Shen Junyu take Shen Qinglan back, Shen Qinglan insisted on staying, so Fu Hengyi agreed.

Just as they were planning to go to sleep, Jin Enxi called. "An, I’ve discovered something. Ya Xi has returned."

Shen Qinglan’s eyes flickered slightly. "Is she in Nancheng now?"

"Yes, she’s with Yan Shengyu and Zhao Jiaqing."

Hearing that she was with Zhao Jiaqing, Shen Qinglan felt slightly relieved. Ya Xi was Zhao Jiaqing’s daughter, so Zhao Jiaqing would naturally know how to protect her.

"Have you figured out what happened between Zhao Jiaqing and Yan Anbang? Did Qin Yan have a hand in it?"

Jin Enxi replied in surprise, "An, you guessed right. I was just about to tell you. The scandal between Zhao Jiaqing and Yan Anbang is making big waves in the media. On one hand, Zhao Jiaqing herself leaked the news to the media. On the other, someone was stirring the pot from behind the scenes."

"Is that person Qin Yan?" Although it was a question, Shen Qinglan’s tone was very affirmative.

"Yes. Qin Yan is very cautious in her actions; it took a lot of effort to find out," said Jin Enxi. "I just don’t know what Qin Yan’s motive is. She is Yan Anbang’s wife now; logically, his misfortune shouldn’t benefit her. So why would she do this?"

"Is there any information about what happened on the day Zhao Jiaqing was beaten up? Why did she go to the Yan Family?"

"I can’t find that out unless I ask the three of them in person. However, I did discover something. After returning to the country, Zhao Jiaqing hired a private detective to investigate Yan Anbang and Qin Yan. Afterwards, she went to the Yan Family."

So the problem originated with the private detective. What exactly did he uncover that drove Zhao Jiaqing to take such a drastic action?

"However, I can’t find out yet what the private detective gave to Zhao Jiaqing. Tomorrow, I’ll go down to Nancheng myself to look for that private detective," said Jin Enxi.

"Okay, but be careful. Make sure you find out everything and come back. Try not to let Qin Yan notice," Shen Qinglan instructed.

After hanging up the phone, she continued thinking about Qin Yan. Fu Hengyi pulled her into his arms and said softly, "No matter what Qin Yan is planning, the most important thing for you right now is to rest well."

Shen Qinglan hummed in response, turning to face Fu Hengyi. "If you were Qin Yan, would you not only not stop the scandal of your husband and his ex-wife from breaking out but also add fuel to the fire?"

"If a woman were to do that, it would likely be for revenge," Fu Hengyi casually replied. He didn’t know much about Qin Yan, but this seemed like a logical explanation.

Shen Qinglan’s eyes briefly flashed. She and Jin Enxi had overlooked this possibility before. If the motive was revenge against Zhao Jiaqing or Yan Anbang, then everything would make sense.

But why would she do that? Was it because of Qin Mu’s disappearance?

Shen Qinglan’s intuition told her no, the situation must not be as simple as she thought.

Unable to figure it out, Shen Qinglan stopped thinking about it for the moment and closed her eyes to sleep.

The next day, Eden gave Fu Hengyi a final checkup and, confident there were no issues, allowed him to be discharged from the hospital to rest at home.

Gu Yang came to pick up Fu Hengyi from the hospital. "Little sister-in-law, don’t move, just let me do it." Seeing Shen Qinglan about to grab the hot water kettle, Gu Yang quickly called out and went over to her side to take the kettle. "Little sister-in-law, you’re now our family’s national treasure. Leave these dangerous tasks to me."

Shen Qinglan looked at him, speechless. It was just a hot water kettle; what danger could there be?

Gu Yang explained, "This kettle is full of hot water. If it explodes or falls to the ground, what if you’re hurt?"

Shen Qinglan, exasperated, looked at Gu Yang with disdain in her eyes.

Back at home, Shen Qinglan first took a bath to relax, then comfortably lay down on the bed. The hospital, after all, had limited amenities and was filled with the smell of disinfectant.

Fu Hengyi looked at her weary face and laughed, holding her in his arms. "Sleep, I’ll sleep with you."

Shen Qinglan nodded and closed her eyes, quickly falling asleep. Fu Hengyi wasn’t initially tired, but as he lay there, sleepiness crept up on him. Holding Shen Qinglan, he, too, soon fell asleep.

Old Sir Fu saw Aunt Zhao cleaning and asked, "Where’s the girl, Qinglan?"

Aunt Zhao smiled, "She probably didn’t rest well in the hospital last night. She fell asleep as soon as she got back, with Hengyi accompanying her."

"Then let them sleep. Prepare something for them to eat when they wake up."
