Chapter 89: Wen Yanqing Is Happy to Be a Father
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
When Jiang Tongtong came out, Lin Gantang put away her phone and accompanied her to the next checkup.
As a result, the news of Lin Gantang’s prenatal checkup spread like wildfire that night.
Someone posted a picture, and the words “Obstetrics Department” on the image were impossible to ignore, “There’s evidence with a picture. 1 was wondering why someone suddenly had a change of heart and accepted Wen Yanqing. It turns out she’s in a hurry to find a father for her child!”
Wen Yanqing’s many years of unreciprocated advances and Lin Gandang’s sudden acceptance of his pursuit had left people astonished.
Lin Gantang had publicly declared that Wen Yanqing was her boyfriend and had even brought him to her wedding. Yet, this was now interpreted as Lin Gantang being in a hurry to find a partner while Wen Yanqing was happy to become a father.
The comments beneath the post were filled with shock.
“I think so. Lin Gantang’s outfit seems quite loose. Is it to hide her stomach?”
“I’ve noticed that she hasn’t been going out much recently. Is she staying home to nurture the baby?”
“How could Wen Yanqing tolerate this?”
“The real question is, does Wen Yanqing know? Lin Gantang was alone at the hospital. She must be keeping it a secret from him, right?”
“I have a daring guess. Considering the timing, could it be Gu Zhichuan’s child?!”
The speculations became increasingly absurd, yet oddly enough, some people believed them.
It was unclear whether someone deliberately informed Mrs. Gu, but she soon got wind of the situation.
Lin Gantang was pregnant with a child from the Gu family? Unbelievable!
Mrs. Gu had just left the hospital when she saw the news. She rushed back to the hospital, pulled Gu Zhichuan out of the ward, and interrogated him, “Are you and Lin Gantang hiding something from me?”
“What?” Gu Zhichuan questioned.
“Lin Gantang is pregnant with your child! And now, who would want to marry her into this and become a stepmother?” Mrs. Gu’s face darkened. “I don’t care, you tell Lin Gantang to get rid of the child!”
“Mom, please don’t talk nonsense.” Gu Zhichuan had been so busy recently that he hadn’t heard these rumors.
“Everyone in the world knows about it. Fine, even if Lin Gantang wants to give birth, we’ll take the child into the Gu family. She can forget about marrying into our family with the child!” Mrs. Gu snorted.
Gu Zhichuan had a headache. Were these even words a person could say?
“I haven’t been with her. How could she be carrying my child?” Gu Zhichuan retorted.
Only then did Mrs. Gu realize that she had made a fool of herself. With an amused expression, she took out her phone and showed it to him, angrily countering, “Well, you can’t blame me for that. Why didn’t you speak up earlier?”
After reading the messages, Gu Zhichuan finally understood the situation.
Pregnant?
Lin Gantang was pregnant?
And it was someone else’s child, presumably Wen Yanqing’s?
He recalled the time when Lin Gantang had curiously asked him whether he preferred a boy or a girl. Back then, he had dismissed her, thinking that there was no point in wasting time on such a meaningless topic.
Gu Zhichuan took out his phone, hesitated for a moment, and finally dialed her number.
The automated voice on the other end informed him that her phone was switched off.
Gu Zhichuan put his phone away and headed outside for a cigarette to calm his tangled thoughts.
As he walked past the nurses’ station, he overheard their conversation.
“Is the patient in your department still unconscious?”
“She hit her head and lost consciousness.”
“I feel sorry for her. She’s so young, yet during the checkup, the doctors discovered that she had a heart surgery history. I wonder how her family has been taking care of her to allow such an injury.”
“We still haven’t found her family. The hospital is providing treatment out of humanitarian considerations, but if she doesn’t wake up, we can’t keep doing this.”
Gu Zhichuan was highly sensitive to the term ‘heart’. Upon hearing the nurses’ discussion, he recalled that he hadn’t contacted Feng Yangyang in a long time.
And it seemed that Feng Yangyang hadn’t come looking for him either..
